BATTLE IN KANSAS
Insurgents and Regulars In
Primary Fight.

Indications That Progressive Repub.

Coneressmen-Madison and Muir
dock Are Not Opposed.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 2.-The great
battle between Republican insurgents
and regulars is being hotly fought to-
day.
The state wide primary election be-
ing held today marks the climax of a
bitter fractional struggle within the
ranks Of the Republican party in this
state
The Kansas congressman came home
from Washington month ago, and all
Of them except Murdoch and Madison
Lined up with the regulars. Senator
Curtis went out on the stump with
Wagstaff, and Senator Bristow spoke
from the same platform with Stubbs.
Two ex-governors and United
States senator have Travelled over the
state pouring hot shot into a Repub-
lican state administration.
Governor Stubs managers declare
that he will be renominated by 1900
majority over Tom Wagstaff. the reg
ular candidate.
Manager Stitch of the Wagstaff com
mittee claims the nomination of Wag-
staff by $1,000 majority and says he
will carry six Of the eight congress
sional districts.
The fight is equally bitter between
the regular and insurgent candidates
for congress. Anthony, regular, will
defeat McNeal, insurgent, in the First
In the second Scott, regular, appears
to have the best chance. In the Third
Campbell, regular, is certain to win
In the Fourth Attorney General Jack
son will defeat Miller, regular. Calder
head and Reeder, regulars in the Fifth
and Sixth districts, have hard fights,
and both may be beaten. Neither Mad
ison nor Murdoch, insurgents, have op-
position.
AS it looks, Governor Stubbs will
win and the insurgents will defeat

How to Make This Valuable Aid to
Chicken Ralsers.

How to Make This Valuable Aid to
Chicken Raisers.
Only during the late spring and
summer Is 1t advisable to attempt to
brood chicks artificially without heat.
Some forty years ago the theory was
first advanced that chicks could be
brooded artificially by combining the
heat made by their little bodies, but
not until quite recently has this the
ory received general attention. The
assertion has been made that chicks
could be brooded by this method out
of doors during the most severe win
ter weather and some who have tried
II have been successful The process
has hardly left the experimental stage
far enough, however. and the attempt
to use It on a large scale should not
be made until 1t has been tried on a
small scale first.
But the fireless brooder may be
employed for secondary use or for
brooding in warm weather or in heat
ed houses. 1t may be used also in
emergency cases where the hen leaves
the brood a little too soon, when the
brooder becomes overcrowded, or
when the bTooder is wanted for an
other flock.
The principal object sought in
building one of these brooders Is to
make all parts easily accessible for
cleaning and caring for the chicks; 10
confine the heat as much as possible
and yet have a good supply Of pure
afr; to have the hover adjustable and
padded with plenty Of heat-holding
cloth, so the chicks may have some
thing to press their backs up against
as they do when brooded by the hen.
The brooder shown IN the ilhlstrar
ton is made in four different parts,
each Of which may be quickly and
easily cleaned The outside measure
ment Of the box is 2x2 1-2 feet The
height is eight inches. The floor is
made to At up In the box so that the
four walls fit tightly on the floor Of
the brooder house and not on the
floor of the brOoder, as 1t may seem
from the first glance at the illustra-
ton. Where the box sits on the floor
