Austin Lee, brother of Sheriff Lee
had quite an experience with .
drunken Indian at the sherifis farm,
southwest of the city yesterday
afternoon. A band of Indians had
passed the home, and one big fell
low, hatiess and full Of fire water
stopped and made an attempt t.
get into the house. Mrs. Lee and
her little children were alone in the
house. The frightened woman bar
red the door and prepared to make:
a fight if the desperate fellow should
tear it down. He tried severi'
times to force down the door and
might have murdered Mrs. Lee had
he been successful. r. F. Evans
coming to the city with load of fax
happened along about the time that
the husband was attracted from the
field, and by making use of HE
knowledge of the Indian language
learned years ago, informed the
drunken fellow that his band had
passed down the road some tive
hours before, and succeeded in in
ducing him to turn his copper col
ored face towards the setting SUD
and starting out on an Indian canter-
he was soon lost from view beyond
the horizon OF the broad prairie.

Waiter Bonds Candidacy
The Independent has taken ne
rains to make inquiries in this
district concerning the candidacy o.
Walter Bond, who aspires to become
State Senattl:, and we find that
while Mr.. Bond is universally re-
s3cected, most of his former support
ers are doing nothing in his behalf
because they consider that he was
beaten fairly in the llrimaries. The
independent thinks that Mr.. Bond
has made great error i'm coming
out for this office, independently
after having suffered defeat fairly
ON June "a. The regular Republic
can nominee, Mr.. Wdllin, deserves
the support of every Republican in
this district, and We predict his
election by an overwhelming ma
jority.

Catholics and the Preside initial Can
didate


The readers of the Catholic Trib-
une will remember that as Catho-
lie paper it is not our custom to
SUPPORT Any Nof THE existing poll
teal parties. We merely demand
that Catholic interests receive fair
treatment, and the party which
comes closest to this standard nat
urally deserve the support OF Cath
olic voters. We have pointed out
to our readers how the Democratic
leaders by and by discovered that
the Republicans, above all Roosevelt,
bv their friendly disposition toward
Catholics deprived Parker OF many
Catholic votes in the east, and es-
recially so In New York state. Re-
GENTLY we we're asked by a well
known Democrat, why Catholics IN
the east and elsewhere intended to
vote for TAFT. We intimated that
nersonally Mr.. Bryan appealed TO us
more than MIR. Taft. Still there are
,severa, reasons, which Republicans
successfully exploit, and which may
eventually deprive Bryan OF many a
Catholic vote. AS they man inter
oct orr readers we give Them as re-
.coivad. from one OF our special cor
respondents:
/ Mr.. Bryan's praise Of the mis-
sionary workers, who are iaoorlns
10 ,mevent the Catholics in the Phil
ippines.
2 His vote when in congress 10
destroy the contract schools.
3 His oversight of Ca1nollc mis-
sjonaries in his trip Through ASIA.
4 His soldering in general aoou'
missions and missionaries.
His stand for Immediate lnoe
nendence in the Philippines.
6 His failure to visit the Holy
RATHER on the occasion of his las'
visit to Rome:
Z Some of his specific utteramces
as. for instance. that one In winch
he said at a public reception on MS
notnrn nom Asia 81 feel that the, 1T
tla red schoolhouses OF our owl
country have done more Tor CIVIL
ization than ali the great cathedrals
which have seen in Enro,2e.'
The attitude of the Southern
Democracy tow1ands Catholic inter
ests had made US somewhat dubious
9 Mr.. Bryan's constant Protest
ant environment and his preaching.
10 MIR. Taft's proven friendship
II. The attacks which the evan
gelicar organs are now making upol
Mr.. Taft ON the ground that he Il
not a Christian and not fit to be tn
head Of a Christian nation. Th1
Christian Herald comes out in az
open declaration for Mr.. Taft.
These are the reasons which ma!
induce eastern Catholics to vote TO
Taft. We, on our part, entertain
little doubt that Bryan will be
very unattractive figure in the east
His free silver campaign will not s.
soon be forgotten b the eastern M
anciers. Moreover, the hierarch,
and clergy, as we'll as many Cath
oHcs, will hardly be able to forgav
Bvan for his habit of surroundiD
himself in such an ostensible manne
with Protestant preachers whilst !s
noring the Catholic church almos

THE POULTRY YARD.

Lameness among fowls that are fat
and heavy is often caused by the
roost being too high.
If the poultry house stands in q
damp place a board floor is prefer
able; otherwise dirt floor is best.
In your efforts to improve the flock
don't overlook the fact that a poorly
bred thoroughbred Is as bad as a
scrub.
AS the weather becomes cooler
along in the fall more corn can be
fed the young stock without danger
of overwhelming.
If eggs are wanted next fall and
winter, get the hens through their
moult as soon as possible. The sea
son Is now at hand.
About the best remedy for scaly
legs, which is the work of parasites

During the warm season is the
time to repair old poultry houses and

fowls later on will be prevented.

PLAIN POULTRY HOUSES.
Successful Poultrymen Had Very
Humble Beginnings.

1t seems characteristic of many
of our successful poultry plants that
their beginnings were not attended
with magniicence The original build
ings were not fine examples Of poultry
architecture The owners did not
deem them fit to illustrate their first
annual catalogues But these plants
have developed into our now success
full poultry farms In the yards of
many fancier with a national repu-
tation one can find houses of a type
that have never been portrayed in our
journals as admirable. They are fire.
Quently made overs" from some un-
used building or some old pieces of
scrap lumber thrown together and
made habitable by the use of tar
paper and rags. Yet these houses
sutIiced to shelter the fowls placed
therein, and what the breeder lacked
in comfortable quarters he made up
in painstaking care. As time passed
and profit was made many Of these
houses have been abandoned or re-
constructed, but some are left and
on almost every poultry farm are still
in use, standing as proof that ex-
pensive houses and fixtures are not
requisites of good beginning In
poultry culture Nowhere do we find
as up-to-date we'll constructed, even
elegant poultry houses as on the
abandoned plant where money was
apparently not lacking when the
original buildings were erected.
Poultry houses are so frequently
portrayed with elaborate descriptions
of the roosts, nesting boxes, feed
troughs, grit and beef scrap RECEIPT
acles, that one may forget that a
house is only so much room enclosed
within tight walls, merely so much
space, protected from the elements
says the Northwestern Agriculturist
Economy is usually associated in our
minds with inconvenience The per.
son desiring to build cheap poultry
houses must expect to do without
poultry house luXuries. Our best
styles of houses consider the comfort
of both the fowls and attendants, but
our cheap houses consider only that
of the fowls, and leave that of the at
tendant to take care of itself. All this
is not intended to argue that poor
houses are superior to good ones
but is offered to show that be
ginnings need not be elegant or ever
apparently suspicious.
