Cotton seed meal may be fed to horses
and. mules in limited samounts with -ex-
cellent results; not over two pounds per
head per day should be fed. The reason
for this is found IN the high content of
the meal in heterogeneous compounds and
while horses and mules require a certain
amount, of nitrogen in their daily diet.
they can be, surfeited with it. and sorne-
times the digestive and nervous systems
are deranged thereby Do not gather
from this that there is any danger from
feeding cotton seed meal in the amounts
Indicated. At the same time 1t is neces-
sary TO emphasize the fact that guessing
at the amount of cotton seed meal is not
q safe or, satisfactory policy When one
desires to feed cotton. seed meal to horses
or mules, II should - be mixed with a
little shredded fodder. finely chopped hay
or hulls. This viii prevent the animals
gulping it <down and Will also induce them
to eat It more readily, and especially is
this true where a little brine water Is
thrown over the meal and, cut feed. Cot

LOOKING EoR A ROW.

An interesting incident of the Tues
day afternoon session of the Republi-
can national convention was the evil
dent determination of the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation to get up some kind
of a row. On every pretext the dele
cation was on its feet and half of
them were addressing the chair Says
LATE Young in dispatch to the Des
Moines Capital:
THE Pennsylvania delegation is
made up of new set Some of them
have been away from the honors of
the party for long time. The dele
cation generally feels that they have
rescued old Pennsylvania from the
hands OF wicked men and that they
must be noisy and tell the world about
it. The same spirit comes from Cali.
fornia. The people of the other states
are willing to read about California S
reforms and also about the reforms in
Pennsylvania but they are not willing
to accept any clustering at the pres
ent time as an apology for thirty
years neglect of duty. The men of
these states have had the power to
rive their states good government and
liz thew have not done SO they onght
to blame no one but themselves.

MODIFIED HOMESTEAD LAW.

President Taft has signed the new
three-year homestead bill, which per-
mits entrymen on public lands to
prove their claims at the end of three
years instead Of five years. The bill
also further liberalizes the law in per.
hitting five months absence from a
claim each year and by reducing the
acreage to be cultivated on large
claims from eighty to forty acres. By
making easier the terms OF settlement
on public lands it is expected that a
check may be put upon the heavy i'm
migration of American farmers to the
western Canadian provinces. 1t is al
SO intended as far as possible to offer
increased inducement to immigrants
arriving in the United States who may
make new homes for themselves in
the sparsely settled states where large
stretches of arabic lands are yet open
to occupation. The high prices now
obtainable for all farm products
should give additional lure to larger
cultivation of the soil.

The Roosevelt Bolt,

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The end OF
the spectacular attempt of Theodore
Roosevelt to force from the Republic
can national convention now sitting
in Chicago a third term nomination to
the presidency has come. Its doom
was forecasted in the vote of Tues
day by which Senator Root was made
temporary chairman of the convention
Its death knelI was sounded in the in
Eley's motion to disenfranchise the con-
tested delegates was defeated. The
colonel himself finished off the fate
of his ambition by announcing late
last night that he would lead his fell
lowers out Of the convention today
The fact of boiling, is as rule,
confession of defeat on the part of the
bolter. It is a last resort of a failing
cause. Boilers seldom win out Po-
Ii cally they are marked ever after as
untrue to the party. History records
many momentuous bolts, but it does
not record many successes, and the
rule will be found to be that the party
leaders who bolt are themselves mark
ed for little further political prefer
ment.
Roosevelt cannot take with him out
of the Republican party in bolt any
public man who values his future par
| ty standing. He cannot take with him
such men as Senator Borah. LaFol-
llette will rot join him in such mad
career 1t is hardly believed that
Cummins will take such a step of polit-
ical suicide. Governor Deneen will
not ruin his political future in such
manner. 1t can be counted on that
! Governor Hadley will hardly partici-
4 pate In such action
The only men whom Roosevelt can
count on to share this mugwumpery
will be the Boss" Films, the political
place seekers, the men who have no
hope of political gain save through
the reflected light of Roosevelt, and
those political nondescripts like Heney,
Mccormick and Pinchot The strong
4 party leaders will remain by the Re-
publican organization, and will exert
their influence for the regular ticket
4 The action of Roosevelt all through
the convention, and the supreme act
which has planned for today, will cut
sharply into his popularity among
thinking people, thousands of whom
I will not be willing to follow him out
I of the party, or to recognize him fur
Their as safe judicious leader.
) That thing long expected by the
friends of President Taft is coming to
pass. public sentiment is changing
] from admiration of Roosevelt and pity
for Taft, to pity for Roosevelt and ad-
miration for the big and lovable Presi-
dent who is quietly remaining in
Washington awaiting the will of the
people, as voiced in the Chicago con
vention.

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN.
wish we could come on 1T all I'M
aware
Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all Of our poor, selfish grief
Could be dropped. like a shabby old
coat, at the door,
And never put on again.
/ wish we could come on its all I'm
aware,
Like the hunter who finds a lost
trail;
And wish that the one whom our
blindness hao done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates, like an old
friend that waits
For the comrade he's gladdest to
hail.
We would find all the things We In
tended to do
But forget and remembered-too
late,
Little praises unspoken, little promis-
es broken,
And all of the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might
have perfected
The day for one less fortunate.
It wouldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land of Beginning Again;
And the ones we misjudged and the
ones whom we grudged
Their moments of victory here
Would find in the grasp of our loving
handclasp
More than penitent lips could ex
plain.
( For what had been hardest we'd
know had been best,
And what had seemed loss would be
gain;
For there isn't sting that will no,
take wing
When we've faced 1t and laughed II
away;
And think that the laughter is mos
what we're after
In the Land of Beginning Again!
So I wish that there were some won
derful place
Called the Land OF Beginnin.
Again.
Where all our mistakes and all ou
heartaches
And all of our poor selfish grief
Gould be dropped, like shabby oil,
coat, at the door,
And never put on again.

KING FREDERIcK's FUNERAL.

Copenhagen, Denmark, May 24.-Fun-
eral services for King Frederick VIII.
were held today in the cathedral at
Roskilde, nineteen miles from Copen-
hagen. Representatives of all the
royal families of Europe and diplo-
mats from all leading nations attend
ed the services, which we're of a most
impressive character. The cathedral
contains the tombs of the Danish
kings.
Business was suspended throughout
Denmark today, all flags we're at half
mast, and Copenhagen was almost as
silent as the tomb in which the late
monarch is now taking his last long
rest. Sadness and sorrow were de-
picted in the faces of all. as Freder-
lex was universally loved by his sub
jects. The tragic suddenness of his
death but added to the general grief
Since the year 1895, when King Erik
Eiegod died in Cyprus, no Danish
king had passed away In a foreign
land.
At the funeral today the new King,
Christian x, showed the deepest emo
tion, as did Queen Alexandrine and
the royal children. All the public
buildings are draped in black, as are
many private residences and business
houses. Parliament has been adjourn
ed since the death Of Frederick.
Among the most sincere mourners are
some Of the Socialist leaders of Den
mark, who were treated with the ut
most consideration by the late King,
who often invited them to the Palace
and listened attentively and sympa-
thetically to their projects for a heav-

Coroner's Jury Concludes
Man Was Dacey Moore

Sheriff Bennett and Coroner
Mckenzie returned last night
from McCallum where they
were called by report of the find
ing of a dead body in Leaf river
swamp, one mile from McCallum. Ar
irving there they found the gruesome
sight Of a badly decomposed human
body, clothed with shirt, pants and
shoes.
A jury composed of H. M. Birk-
halter, ]. H. Skinner, G. X. Russ, c.
H. McLaurin, ]. M. Carter, and Char
ley Carter. was empaneled. After in
vestigation the jury decided that the
body was that Of Dacy Moore,and that
he came to his death by accidental
drowning. The body was, by order of
the Coroner, buried on the spot where
1t was found.
Dacy Moore was drowned in Leaf
river near the N. o. & N. e. railroad
bridge several weeks ago, after he

had snatched the money won by an
associate in game of craps, he and
several other negroes we're playing.
Taking the money, he ran towards
the river, persued by the others. He
jumped into the water in an attempt
to swim to the opposite bank, but the
swift flowing current soon carried
him under and he was not seen again
until his body was discovered in the
woods as stated. The body was evi-
IDENTIFY carried down the stream on the
crest of the flood, and as the river
receded it was left in the thicket
some distance from the main stream.
Before leaving Hattiesburg 1t was
believed by the officers that the body
vast most likely that of Dacy Moore,
and they obtained description of the
clothing he wore when last seen
alive. Comparison of the clothing
found on the dead man with that de-
scribed, led to the decision rendered
by the Coroner's jury.

subsequent attention shown them, by
Hattiesburg citizens, irrespective of
caste or class, made such an impress
sion. that without exception, the in.
jured have continued to utter their
praise for the kindness and hospitality
of Hattiesburg's citizenship.
