Back Of the royal pageantry at the
opening Of the British Parliament, in
which the royal family, the court dig
nitaries, the peers and the peeresses
had front places, with all the splendor
of attire and adornment which BELTS
such occasions. there stands the plain
fact that after all the people rule.
This is signified by the announcement
that the Liberal government has OBJ
tanned from the king guarantee that
lin a certain contingency" there will
be created a sufficient number of new
peers to give the government control
of the House of Lords. The certain
contingency" means the omission or
refusal of the Lords to accept the veto
provision which the Liberal govern
ment has prepared and which has the
Endorsement of two general elections,
direct appeal having been made to
the people.

American schools get another COM
pliment, this time at the conference Of
the British Institute for Social Serv-
ice in London, when Charles P. Ire
velyan, Parliamentary Secretary for
Education, speaking of the Importance
of physical training of youths as a
foundation for national health, de-
clared the United States to be far
ahead Of England in providing public
Fairgrounds and in affording oppor-
tunities of exercise for the young.
Mr.. Trevelyan showed the sincerity
of his sentiment by urging England to
follow the American example. The
tribute to the excellence of American
practice is all the more significant in
view of the fact that England is re-
garded as a great outdoor country.

FAMOUS MINE is WORKED OUT
Petition Asks Dissolution of Monte
Cristo Silver Mining Com
pany.

San Francisco. - The concluding
chapter in the history of one
of Nevada's most famous mines
began here by the filing of a petition
asking for the dissolution of the
Monte Cristo Silver Mining company
The company was incorporated in
1863 with capital of $1,500,O00 to op-
crate mine in Storey county, Neva-
da. In 1878 the capital was increased
to $10,0O0,000, as the mine had proved
to be one of the richest producers in
the state. The petition recites that
the mine is no longer productive. The
directorate Of the company read like
a roster of bonanza pioneers.

THE STAY AT HOME.

To travel with a well-f1led purse,
a well-stocked mind, a sharp and intel
ligent curiosity-that is delight. To
tai = sea trip as a tonic--that is ra-
tional, too. But to go abroad, as GER
tain persons do by the shipload, for
the mere sake of locomotion; to be
able to say they have crossed the water
(often at the cost of unspeakable agon-
ies); to stand ignorant upon historic
battlefields, dumb and unappreciative
before the great shrines of art; to
pass from city to city without knoWl-
edge of their teeming past, from state
to state, obliviOus of their political re-
lations, their polity, their economic
condition-that is incarnate folly
afoot. They were better off at home
in a hammock. DR.. Samuel Johnson
views the matter shrewdly. "The use
of travelling" he says, us to regulate
imagination by reality, and instead OF
thinking how things may be, to see
them as they are" says the Philadel-
phia Press. The doctor lived long be-
fore the days of the perfected camera
and moving picture. To make the
grand tour in his time was almost re-
Quisite to a polite and liberal educa-
ton. 1t is still desirable, though rath-
er a perquisite. The stay-at-home
man and woman, if established in hap
py environment, occupied with congo
NAL and profitable duties, and unmo-
Tested by the diabolic spirit which
urges contented folk to roam, have
all the best of life at hand and only
happiness to lose by rowing. Gold
smith found it so and cried: THE
first, best country ever is at home. .

Lost His Left Foot

The many friends in this part of
the state of Judge S. Ii. Osborn, will
be pained to learn that his illness of
the last year has developed gangrene
in the left foot, necessitating ampu-
tation. The operation was perform
ed in Kansas City hospital Tuesday
and if it prooves successful is expect
ed to be of great benefit to the pa
tient. Judge Osborn has been suff-
ering from hardening of the arteries
of the left foot and leg and other COM
plications for the last year or eigh-
teen months and much Of the time
has been unable to be out of the
house. His condition in the past few
months has been quite serious.
A week ago gangrene developed in
the left foot and the physicians of
Coffeyville and independence recon-
mended that he be taken to Kansas
City for an operation. He went to
Kansas City Friday night accompan-
led by Mrs. Osborne and their son,
Judge Roy Osborne, who is probate
judge of Montgomery county.
Judge S. HI. Osborn lived in Salina
for years and was well known through
out the central part of the state. He
and his family went to Montgomery
county from Salina few years ago.
No definite information has been re-
ceived since the operation as to the
condition of the patient, but it. is
presumed to be favorable as word
would have been received had it been
otherwise.-SalinaJ Journal.

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, ~Septem-
Der 20, 1911. The actual count yes
terday revealed 1000 cattle, besides
$500 calves. received for sale. Omaha
had the biggest run of cattle on re-
cord for that market yesterday, and
Chicago also had heavy supply, COM
pare with recent Mondays Buyers,
therefore, had the balance of power,
and forced a decline of 5 to Is cents
on the big bulk of the cattle. A few
cows sold steady, and stock cattle also
sold around steady. To-day the run
is 10000. head here, quite a drop from
Iyesterday and other markets show
similar reauctions in supplies, which
enables statesmen TO move the stuff at
practically steady prices all around.
A fairly good run is expected balance
of the week, and for few weeks
ahead, for the reason that paper on
cattle in Kansas and Oklahoma pas
lures is maturing. Owners are also
willing to turn their cattle loose now,
before frost comes. Colorado and the
West will contribute more liberally
in the next few weeks than up TO this
time. A good share of the arrivals
this week were stockers and feeders;
a good attendance of buyers this week
is holding the market on thin cattle
close to steady. Prime natives would
be eligible to bring $780, but noth-
ing that's good has appeared here for
ten days Top yesterday was S1.75,
nothing here to-day above S7.15. The
bestswintered steers bring S7.oo to-
day, middle class pasture steers $500
to s6.25, Kansas Old Mexicos at $3.50.
Colorado beef steers are worth 81. %

ers 81. 35 TO ST. 10. Panhandle stock
calves sell at 81, so to $3.50, cows $3.50
to 81 35.
Hogs arrived to-day to the number
of 1900, and sold 10 lower, top S6.65,
bulk S6.40 to $3.50. Fewer pigs are
coming this week than last A year
ago the heavy run of pigs appeared
month later than this year. Average
weight of hogs here last week was I91
IDS-, against ZlU los same week laSC
year. Several parties here manufac-
ture hog serum, for inoculating hogs
against cholera, and they report a big
business. Exports of lard in August
were thirty three million pounds,
practically the same as in August last
year, but the value was 25 per cent
less this year, shrinking from four
million dollars to three million dol
lars.
Range sheep and lambs turned up
in large numbers at all points yester-
day, and lamb values fell off 10 to Is
cents, sheep about steady. Runs
from the range are beginning to
shrink, and there is a larger proper
tion of thin stuff included, sorts now
running from so to so per cent. This
leaves plenty of stuff for the country,
and tends to hold up fat stock prices.
