A Western Trip.
Editor Times, Butler, Mo.

EultOr lines, DutleT, Mo.
Dear Sir;-l returned last Friday
from Western Kansas and Colorado
where | had a nice trip, ! visited
my son, Omer II is a fine looking
country and has fine buildings along
the railroad but away from the rail-
road the buildings are scattered
and riding through the country it
looks as though the people would
starve to death, but every dugout had
plenty to eat.
Mr.. Burgess, a Swede, told me
when he went there twenty years
ago, as his father had encouraged
him to do, and when he looked over
that broad country he said that he did
not see enough grass in sight to wipe
his shoes on, and he was so dissat-
isfied with the country he would
have left, if he had had anything
to leave on. He said he pulled
his hair, because he could not get
away. While | was there with him,
took in all his farming tools. He
did not have exactly Missouri farm
ing outfit, but | learned from one of
his neighbors he had about four
thousand in cash, and counted about
81 head of cattle and 20 head of horses
and he has 4 quarter sections of land.
Just west of him about mile | thought
had struck Missouri. ldrove across
two sections that belonged to one of
our home bankers. | understand he
has traded it off. My sons place
joins the Burgess place on the west.
He has 60 acres and all under fence
and plank stable, and he has fair
house. He has Is acres of nice corn
and seems to be satisfied. He has
been 5 years in this county in
March, but entered the land in
December before. He is two miles
from Stockton, the postoffice. The
merchants wife of that little town
made him a coat apron which covers
him, all with a nice bow on the collar
of it, and made him a present of it,
Kansas is all right for young people,
but Missouri is good enough for me.

Cows Are MIXED to Music.

Detroit Mich, July ll.-According
10 aiV1oes to Marquette, music has
been put to a remarkable use on the
dairy farm of John Longyear, at I've
Lake The cows on this farm, it is
SAID during their confinement these
hag summer days in tightly screened
harns, are relieved of the irksome
usonOcoay Of cudchewing and milk
producing by the interspersion of a
variety Of selections played on a
ph01sgraph,
The soothing effects of music, it is
claimed, iudiciously administered
during milking time, have been found
10 be especially successful with cows
under official tests. Several butter
records claimed by the farm are
credited to the music box.

Out of a Job at 73.

Washington, July ll.-Col. John
S. Mosby, the famous Confederate
guerilla of the Civil War, has lost
his position as a special attorney in
the department of Justice after eight
years service. Old age, that night
mare of superannuated government
employees, it is understood, was the
main reason for the dismissal. Col
onel Mosby is about 70 years old.
To his friends he appears active and
energetic.
Colonel Mostly was appointed a
special attorney Of the department
early in the first Roosevelt admins
tration and was assigned to break up
the cattlemen's operations against
government lands in the Middle
West. His fearlessness in this work
won him the approbationof President
Roosevelt. Colonel Mosby became
a Republican some time after the
Civil War. He was a favorite Of
General Grant, who kept him in the
best federal positions to be had and
consulted him often as to important
government matters. II is probable
that now he will devote his time to
writing book on the Civil War.

Franklin, Pioneer in Electricity
Foresaw Electric Cooking

Benjamin Franklin, one of the
pioneer investigators of electricity,
as early as 1869 foreSaw the advan-
tages of modern electric cooking.
This was about the time Franklin
drew electricity from the clouds with
his famous kite and key. In a
humorous description of his expert
ments written by him in that year,
Franklin said, "a turkey will be Kill
led by the electric shock and roasted
over the electric jack" Of course
this article was supposed to be very
funny at that time but it is a very
common practice to roast turkeys in
the electric oven these days.
There can be no question as to the
superiority of electric cooking over
any other method, The heat is To-
Called and concentrated where want
ed and none of it is wasted in useless
radiation, Among other features
electric cooking possesses the follow
ing undeniable advantages:
No heat is wasted by going up a
flue or passing into the air around
the apparatus.
Directly the heat is no longer need
ed the currentaca be turned off and
again no waste occurs.
Heat can be obtained at a moments
notice-no waiting for fire to burn
up.
The cooking apparatus is portable
and can be moved from one room to
another as it is convenient.
There is no need for STOPPING, as
the electric oven can be placed upon
the table or any convenient height.
No dirt to accumulate on the uten-
sis on account of combustion of BY
products, and therefore washing up
is not such disagreeable process.
The heat can be regulated to a
nicely.
Economy in time and fuel.
No bad odors, foul gases or fumes
generated.
No danger OF fire or explosion.
No flame to be blown out by the
wind, and the breeze, therefore, can
be admitted freely to the kitchen in
summer.
In fact, it may come to pass, in
view oil the ease with which the ap-
paratus is set up, the clearly and at
tractive appearance of the utensils,
the freedom from all smoke or fumes
which characterize the rise of elec-
tricity for cooking, that we shall have

Jeffries's First Fight.
Om the spOLans spokesm.n-Rsvisx.

From the spokane SpOkesmsn-Revisx.
Joe Webb, residing at the Empire
Hotel, Spokane, claims the honor of
putting James j. Jeffries in the mig
for the first time. Speaking Of The
event, he says:
81 went to Los Angeles in lSS7and
in the fall of that year four of Us de-
cided that we needed an athletic club
Forthwith, Montz, a barber, Woods
a saloon man; Ed Canal, L B, Rose
and myself organized the first athletic
organization at Los Angeles. Finally
MONTE came to me one day and said
we needed a little fighting.
81 told him that knew a young
lad driving banana wagon that I
could get for a bout He said all
right, so went out to see my banana
peddler.
THAT man was James j. JeffrieS
When went up to him, Offered him
IS to box, but he said, No I could
not disgrace my father for that All
right, said, | will give you $50
that will buy you suit of clothes
All right, he said, but know moth
ing of boxing, he complained. told
him to go and seea fellow named
Gallagher, who would give him i
few lessons. He went.
"Our match came off a few days
later in the BARRIERS hall over a saloon
and Jeffries won his first boyt in
about two rounds. He knocked out
his man, and il took us fully ten min
utes to bring him to. That wis
Jeffries's first fight.

Mr. Roosevelt's Responsibility.

Commoner.
Benjamin Citsen of New York pro-
vided food for thought when he wrote
to the Philadelphia North American
this letter: "You are quite mistaken
when you say there is no middle
ground on which men stand viewing
Theodore Roosevelt, and every citi-
zen is fervently for him or profanely
against him. There are a great
many like yourself, rampant for
Teddy. There are also the people of
Wall Street profanely against him,
but the majority (cool-headed people
who admire Roosevelt for something
he did far outnumber the others
named. For many months you have
been hammering Taft, the Aldrich-
Payne tariff, Ballinger and others.
Who was it gave the country these
fine people and put them in power?
Theodore Roosevelt. Who was it
that. refused to prosecute the sugar
trust? Theodore Roosevelt. Who
was it that refused to publish the con-
tributions to campaign funds until
after election? Theodore Roosevelt.
You probably call this human weak
ness. Highway robbery, fraud or
bank wrecking is also human weak
ness. Wherein did Roosevelt show
foresight, tactfulness or statesman
ship in all this, in forcing the worst
administration on the people that this
country has had since the time of
Buchanan? The fruit we are reaping
today-Aldrich, Payne, Cannon, Bal
lingerism-is the result of Roosevelt's
seven years reign in the White
House. You evidently desire a con-
tinuation of the present conditions"

Redistricting Held Illegal.

Secretary of State Cornelius Roach

on the ground that the amendment is
unconstitutional. His decision fol-
lowed an opinion by the attorney gen.
eral that the redistricting plan is lille
gal.
