est to know what value is attributed
TO chess in two of our neighboring
states. In Bulleton 46 of the Wyo-
ming station the statement is made
that chess, on account of its vigorous
growth and ability to withstand ad-
verse conditions, is used as a hay
grass in some localities, but its repu-
tation as weed is emphasized, as well
as the fact that it is an annual. In
Iowa it is classed as a 'well-known
weedy annual grass" but with some
redeeming features as forage plant"

s. Bronze grass has proved an es-
pecially valuable pasture grass for
the great plains region from Kansas
northward, and is deserving OF more
extensive cultivation. II is probably
the best cultivated grass for the
drier sections of the state and il is to
be regretted that unreliable or ignor-
ant parties are placing it's worthless
relative, chess or cheat. on the mar
ket under the name of such a vaIua-

practice.

had virtually become thing of the

which Is believed to be absolutely
true, and that is the railways never
desired TO engage In Rotating, but

attitude assumed by the monopolies.
Taking Mr.. Bryan's statement as
being correct, 1t would seem that this
vas the golden opportunity for Mr..

OF course, the administration

out for rebating while II Is amending

That the president has no inten.
ton OF doing anything OF the kind
seems to be proved by the speech he
mace In Indianapolis yesterday.

for the purpose OF unwilling a statue
OF the gallant Gen. Lawton, but 1t Is
noticed that he said very little about
the soldier and devoted most OF mis-
time to talking about railway reguia-
tion.
Taken as whole, considering that
II was Memorial day, aud that the
principal feature OF the exercises at
Indianapolis was devoted to com.
memorating the deeds OF one OF the
nations famous generals, the speech
was rather remarkable, and, 1t might
readily DO believed In the view OF
