The Lincoln and

Event Which Stirred the Country
Fifty Years Ago.

this autumn brings the semicentennlal
anniversary of the famous Lincoln
Douglas debates which had so much 10

north on the slavery Issue and defining
the questions which were TO he settled
a few years later through resort TO
arms. These debates between Lincoln
and his opponent MS n candidate for
the United States senate from Illinois,
Stephen A. Douglas, began at Ottawa,
H., on Aug 81, 1858, and continued at
intervals Of few days in the towns of
Frecport, Jonesboro. Charleston, Gales.
burg and Quincy and ending with the
debate at Alton on Oct. 10.
The occasion for the debates, the
struggle for the scnatorship, was felt
even at the time to be an important
one, though just how fraught with i'm
port Il was could not be realized until
the flight OF years enabled the hlsto-
rian to show how many and great
events hung on the issue of the contest
and its sequel. For Lincoln did not win
the scnatorship. Had he done so posi-.
bly, he might never have been presl-
dent.
Douglas was then n candidate for
senator to succeed himself. lie regard
ed the election as stepping stone to
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion in 1860. But in orier to win the
senatorial election IN Illinois, where
anti-slavcry sentiment was strong, he
had TO make some concessions to this
sentiment In doing so he offended the
south and lost its support in the con-
test for the presidency two years later.
At the time of the debates Lincoln was
little known outside Of Illinois and
Douglas had national reputation as a

lie was not in harmony with Buchan-
an and was opposed by the agents Of
the administration at Washington.
Many Republicans advocated the clcc-
llon OF Douglas on the ground that in
view of the differences in the Demo
cratic ranks he and his faction of the
Democratic party might be won over
to the Republican side on the ques-
tiOns becoming of greater and greater
moment. Illinois had always been car.
ried by the Democrats in national
canvass up TO this time, and everybody
expected Douglas TO win In the sena-
tOrial campaign. He did win, but by
u very small margin. and the result, as
ufterward appeared, meant his speedy
elimination from politics. Lincoln,
who was then forty-nine, became a ma
tiOnal figure mt once, aud the strength
he showed marked him out MS the fu-
turc leader of the party which was TO
carry TO a successful issue the prlnci-
pies he upheld in this famous cOntro-
vcrsy. The debates occasioned great
outpourings of the people, as many as
$4,000 sometimes assembling in the
open air TO hear the battle Of words
between the orators
The accompanying portrait Of Lin
coin shows him ms he appeared about
the time of the debates and Is from an
ambrotype taken in Springfield shortly
aftcrward. The owner, w. Z. Brown
of Philadelphia, gave this account Of
It: "Thls picture, along with another Of
the same kind, was presented by Pres
idcnt Lincoln TO my father, J, Henry
Brown, deceased, miniature artist, aft.

Reeordlnn MlIIIonths Of Second.

According to one of the government
scientists In experiments with high
power explosives used in guns n chro-
noscope has been employed which reg
istered the velocity of the proJectlle at
sixteen successive points before II left
the bore. 1t was possible with this ap.
paratus TO register time to the mil

In former experiments, where the
velocity did not exceed 1900 or 1,600
feet second the projectile recorded
its time by knocking down n series Of
steel triggers projecting into the bore,
But with veloclties Of $500 feet and
more to the second the trigger instead
of dropping frequently plowed a groove

About Corn.

II is claimed by seedsmen that ears
the kernels Of which are OF a deep
amber color and more or less trans
parent are much sweeter than those
in which the kernels are opaque and
white, and kernels having fine wrin-
kle are also supposed to be sweeter
than those with a coarse wrinkle. A
test of these methods OF selecting seed
at the Maryland station showed prac-
tiCally the same sugar content in kerr
nels of different color, but there ap-
peared to be a relation between the
wrinkle OF the kernel and the per-
centoge of the sugar "The lowest
percentage of sugar in the fine wrin-
killed. kernels is above the average per-
centage in the coarse wrinkled and the
highest percentage of sugars In tho
individual ears having a coarse wrin-
kle is much less than the average In
the fine wrinkled ones"

Cheap Feed For Stock.

The cheapest feed the stockman can
put up is sheaf oats and corn fodder.
For young stock especially, these are
much better than the threshed or
husked grain. sheep, calves, colts
and cows will do we'll on these feeds.
providing, of course, the grain is cut
at the right stage, Sheep will eat
the grain more evenly out Of tho
bundle than they do threshed grain,
and, they use up both grain and
straw, says the Indiana Farmer. Feed
more oat hay and bright corn fodder.
In Wisconsin, where farms are not
SO large as they are in the corn belt,
dairymen have learned the big value
OF sheaf oats and corn fodder Here
they feed a great deal of what they
call oat hay, and cows. horses and
hogs all get some nice, bright corn

Senator Long is usually tactful

blunder for him to deliberately
walk into that debate with Gener.
al Bristow at Sterling last week.
We still think that Mr.. Long, with
the aid of all the Kansas senatorial
patronage and tricky primary cleo

knock him out. The trouble is,
