NO PARDON FOR WEAVER.

Major W. L. Brown, chairman q
the state board Of correction, was In
Larned this week attending the irrt
CATION convention, and while here his
attention was called to the report
sent out from Topeka that Govgaur
Hodges and his pardon clerk, Sam
Seaton, were about TO pardon Buck
Weaver, sent to the penitentiary from
this county about one yeear ago.
Major Brown said that whie some
letters had been received favoring
Weaver, that the matter had not N
yet come up Officially before those
In charge of the giving Of pardonA
and that If it did it would be turned
down BY the board. He said that The
report was shown to the Governor
by Mrs. Mitchner, president of the
state W. c. 7. u, ON Monday, and
the governor had said that he new
er thought Of such a thing as pardon
ing Weaver out.
Major Brown said the report that
hodges and Seaton had played bali
wlth weaver when they were boys to-
gether at Olanhe was correct, but
that the governor would make that
Il cause for pardoning Weaver wa
too ridiculous to talk about. Weaver
was guilty of gross crime" sa,d
tue Major, and be must take his pun
ishment."
The published report caused great
indignation in Larned, particularly
among the womanIs organizations
several of which passed resolutions
in the matter and got out petitions
protesting against the pardon. These
petitions had something like over 400
signers already. But Major Brownb.
emphatic declaration has set theip
fears at rest, for the Major is known
to be man Of his word. That's why

MORE RAILROAD WORK.

Last Sunday another grading out
fit came in from the east and imme'
diately began work on the Meyers
Railroad, southwest of town. We are
informed by parties who are in a pO-
sition to know, that other construc'
ton outfits are on the road here and
will very likely arrive at an early
date. In the meantime work on the
road is being pushed as rapidly as Is
possible, still in a SouthweSterly di'
rectiOn. 1t is rumored now, however
that negotiation are under way look
ing to the purchase of right -of-way
into town, and it seems as if this
will be secured at an early date.
1t still looks peculiar that one man
would undertake a contract of this
kind, but strange things will harper
and this seems to be one of them
The fact remains however that Mr.
Meyers, the founder Of this road, is
perfectly willing and ready to bacl
his knowledge of railroad matters
with both his time and his money an[
If his faith in the future of this Inns
succeeds in bringing another rea
railroad into Western Kansas, thed
his coming will not have been IN vain
and his hopes win have been realiz
ed, and here's hoping he will be sue
cessful in his undertaking .-Jetmor'

bud little thinner than the other.
The cion Is then driven firmly into
place with the lower bud to be outside
and little below the top OF the
cleft.
1t Is important that the inner bark
on the outer edge OF the wedge
should be brought in contact with the
inner bark on the stub. II Is between
these parts that the union takes place.
Kerf grating is almost the same az
cleft grating only the stub is pre-
pared by saw cuts instead of splitting.
These are made on opposite sides OF
the stub, and trimmed to thin V-shaped
grooves with a saddler's knife. the
cion is then trimmed to fit, driven
firmly into place and waxed as In cleft
grating.
1t Is not good practice to remove
the whole top OF the tree the FIRST
year and graft all the stubs. Often
this proves too much for the tree and
1t fails even after the gratis have
made good start. They may linger
two or three years and then die.
A better plan Is to cut away only
enough limbs to set cion for a good
top. generally about half Of the tree.
Working Of more stubs results into
dense top, or, necessitates their re-
moyal later.
The remaining limbs may be short
ened, but some foliage Is needed to
protect the stubs and trunk from sun
scald as well as to supply nourish-
ment.
Budding is another method of put
ting a new top on young tree. The
buds are generally set from six to
twelve inches from the main stem, de-
pending on the formation of the head.
Twoyear-old trees may be budded the
following fall.
AS any stem as large as a lead
pencil may be budded quite easily.
Buds may be set during the month
Of July, August and September. Fall
budding should generally be given the
preference over spring budding. In
fall budding the buds are taken from
the current years growth and these
may be inserted In the wood Of one,
two or three years growth.
Heavier bark makes the insertion Of
the buds difficult.
Place the bud on the shady side Of
the stock. A T-shaped incision Ii
made in the bark and the corners Of
the bark below the transversed cut
raised to facilitate starting the bud.
The bud is then cut from the bud
stick by starting the knife half an
inch below the bud, cutting under and
about the same distance above. The
cut should be deep enough to leave
a small shield OF wood.
The bud is then shipped into place
and we'll wrapped with rafia or soft
wrapping twine, and this wrapping
should be cut when the bud has united
with the stock. which is usually with
in ten days or two weeks.
Care must be observed that the
wrapping does not cut into the bark
as too much pressure interferes with
the flow Of sap and tends to throw
the bud into premature growth.
The buds set in August and Sep
TENDER should remain dormant over
winter and the following spring. as
soon as the buds on the top Of the
stock begin to push out, the original
TOD OF the stock is cut away.

THEY MUST FIND FAULT.

The Republican papers for the past
years have cried that Democratic sue.
cess meant hard times and the clos
ing Of the mills and factories. Since
Ohe beginning of the year, the Penn
sylNania railroad has placed orders
tor seven millions of dollars worth Of
engines to meet the increased de-
mand for business. The man, Hol--
lands who writes the financial re-
views and items for the big newspap-
ers, says there is no evidence amy
place that there is a depression in
business. This being true, the Re
pubicans are now using their space
TO tell about the secret caucus and
other heniOlls crimes of the Demo
Gratis. Long editorials are appearing
IN. the papers and long winded speech
Is are being made ON the floor OF
ohe House in an effort to get the
people in sweat over this big noise
over nothing. They are wailing that
the Republicans were not consulted In
making the tariff biTl but it was put
through as a party measure. That is
true. The Democrats were commits
stoned by the people to pass certain
legislation. The Republicans had al
ready been given their opportunity
IN days gone by, and they failed to
meet the emergency. The tariff bill
IS a Democratic measure. If it is a
success, the Democrats will receive
the reward, If it fails to work, the
Democrats will be held responsible,
and not the Republicans. Every
same person knows this, but that does
not prevent the Republican papers
from daily shedding great floods OF
bears because the Democrats have
not allowed the Republicans to amend
the bill. 1t is a big comedown, from
predicting a general panic to a cry
over the way the Democrats are act
ug in passing these bills. You all
most would think by the way the Re-
publican papers are letting the pam
tc talk so severely alone that they
would have little to complain Of, but
the noise they are trying to mmake
On the way the Democrats are pro-
ceeding, shows that they are grasp
ing at straws for some issues to as
sail the work of this congress. 1t on
Iy is one point which goes to show
that when there is nothing worth
the while to get excited about men
viii sometimes pick up petty issues
and try to make them wOrk.-John

The doctor is a good fellow. His
living depends upon our getting sick,
yet he cheerfullytells US how to keep
we'll. We CALL him up at three a. m,
tell him the baby has the cohc, and
If he doesn't do a tango for our
place Immediately we hold it against
him all our lives. After he has work
ed with the little fellow the rest of
the night and a part of the day and
has gone home and pursued the even
tenor OF his way for a couple Of
months and then he happens to men,
ton to us that we owe him a couple
or three dollars, We go up in the air
and ask him, how the dickens he ex-
poets us to pay him before fail. In
the fall-Some fall we swap him a
runty calf or make him take it out
in trade. He spends his whole life
trying to find out what is the mat
ter with us and how to cure us, and
We know more i'm a minute than he
would in a thousand yeas, and We
tell him SCAT least we tell all the
neighbors so. If a patient gets we'll,
We attribute it to his vigorous con-
Stitution; if he fails to recover, We
put dent in the doctors reputation.

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand, Something Like a "Punelh
Ing Bag" Did the Business
Quite Simply.

Noah Spears, Bay Shore farmer.
has discovered way to break a horse
of kicking. according to Milford let
ter to the Wilmington (Del) News.
Spears tells the following story: II
filed a stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended 1t from the ceiling in the
rear of the stall by a rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon it.
This large pendulum. needing only a
strong power to start it, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began to play it's acrobatic
stunts upon it. At the first kick the
bag swung away, only to return with
more force. giving the animal much
more than it had sent This unexpect-
ed return on the part of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder. but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal. with interest Finally the
horse. realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless. stopped kicking.
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week. but
no more use for it was seen"
