"THE ROSARY"

The Rosary" as presented By
Rowland is repeating with as much
success as the play had n it's de-
but. It will be seen at the Elltnw@od
Opera House Saturday might, Nov.
ember 22nd.
The theme Of the play concerns q
man and a woman happily married.
They are surrounded with every
luxury Of wealth. But the hpsband
is an unbeliever, an atheist without
faith of any kind. There is a jarring
note in the household harmony. No
one notices 1t until friend Of the
husband comes, Father Brian Kelly,
a priest of the modern world with a
deep insight into human nature and
a divine love for his fellow man.
And when trouble comes, when the
home is wrecked and husband and
wife are brought down to the depths
Of suffering agony, it is the priest
who restores both into the sunlight
of hope and love.

THE WHEAT TARIFF.

You read a good deal in the Repub-
hcan papers these days about the
New tariff law being framed against
the farmer. They appear to think
that wheat has been especially dis
eliminated against. The facts are
wheat has more protection right now
than it had under the Republican
bill. The only country that ships
wheat into the United States is Can
AdR, Under the Payne law a tariff
Of Is cents per bushel was levied
against wheat shipped into the coun-
Try from Canada, but every cent of
this was returned as soon as this
wheat was ground and shipped out
- flour. Theme could not be in
practice anything more nearly free
trade than this. Under present dem
ocratic law a tax Of ten cents per
0ushel is levied ON wheat shipped in
to this country from Canada, and
there is no rebate. ALI this noise
made by the Republican newspapers
about the democrats being unfriend
" to the farmers has about as much
foundation as this cry Of free wheat
The American farmer has never haC
sny real protection in the tariff laws
but he has been misled in the matte
until many Of them honestly behey
ed that they were being protected
along with the great trust that deal
IN manufactured articles. - John R

PRESS BUREAU ALL RIGHT.

S. T. Seaton, who along with his
other work as chief pardon clerk,
confidential secretary to Gov. Hodges
and various and sundry other du-
ties, conducts a press bureau, by
means OF which the people ala over
the state are informed as to Just
what Is being done by the state ad-
ministratio0, has been the recipient
Of several bitter attacks from the
Capper and other rampant BullMoose
publications. However the news sent
out weekly by Mr.. Seaton, through
his letters to the country papers all
over the state, has been apprecia-
ted by the editors for the most part,
and some Of the Republican and In
dependent papers have recently said
some good words for Mr.. Seatcn and
his publicity work, in Letting the peo
pie know exactly how the state Is az
fairs are being conducted. Deacon
Walker, in the Osborne Farmer, one
Of the good Republican papers Of the
state, says:
Sam T. Seaton's press bureau,
department at Topeka which sends
out weekly letters containing much
valuable information, appears to be
Going into its own. At first the
press bureau was enormously suppos
ed to be a department used exodus
ivley to boom Governor Hodges, bur
as time has rolled on and Seator
has kept plugging away, it has been
shown that the bureau was in real
ity being used to spread Information
regarding the work Of the State AID
ministration. OF course, It keeps tbs
bureau busy most Of the time ex
planning the mistakes of other writ
ers, but at that it is a mighty good
thing. Numerous Republican, Bull
Moose and other papers have take1
occasion to say a decent thing abou
Seaton's work.
The Salina Union, an independent
paper, has the following comment OF
Seaton's work:
Sam Seaton, the Hodges press bu
reau man, is in bad with the esteem
ed Capital. The latest offense charg
ed against Seaton is that he is bus.

MISTAKE MALADY WIDESPREAD.

The editor OF the Thompson, Iowa,
Courier, after bordering over news
paper mistakes delivered himself in
the closing paragraph of the follow
ing on the errors of editors and of
others:
What is strange about the mistakes
of a newspaper man is the fact that
no matter how many errors he makes
in lying about another man s quail
ties he never lays himself liable to
be punctured with a 80 or lynched.
Indeed it is a funny old world. EV-
erybOdy makes mistakes. The only
ones who never make them are Slun
bering in the cemeteries and it is
not unlikely that some of them are
there because the doctors also made
mistakes. A man often makes the
mistake OF marrying when he should
have taken a post graduate course in
how to support himself. A fine wom-
an often is in error when she wan
tonly throws herself away on some
fool who cam sing coon songs like
Carusa but couldn't make noise
like a loaf of bread to save his life.
A boy makes a mistake when he
thinks he knows more than the en-
tire staff of teachers, including the
principal Of school. The world is
plumb full of mistakes and mistake
makers. Il the newspaper man on
ly would take the pains to record all
Of them he'd make the mistake ID
his life and die on the bed Of the
press with his shirt sleeves rolled uI
and his boots on"

WINTER CARE OF THE CALF
First Essential 10 To Separate Young
Animals From Older and Stronger
stock-Nssd More Feed. 's


The first essential 10 calf-rAiSins In
the winter IL TO separate the young
animals from the older and stronger
stock.
Some farmers, In fact, most Of them.
allow cattle Of all shapes and sizes To
run together, but where this is done.
the larger ones naturally crowd the
smaller and weaker members out Of
the most comfortable parts Of the
winter Quarters-even forcing them to
spend the severest portion Of the
night exposed to the rough elements.
Such a course is Improbable for
two reasons, to say nothing Of the
suffering to which the helpless calves,
with their susceptible constitutions,
thus are subjected.
They will require more food to keep
their bodies warm and offset the detri-
mental action of the severe cold.
Then, no matter how much they are
fed, the exposure stunts their whole
general system to such an extent that
their delicate tissues and organs never
will develop as they would II steady,
undisturbed growth had been main
tanned from the start. An undesirable
dairy or stock animal Ii thus de-
veloped.
Again, the farmer has not the time
to watch the cattle and zee that the
calves get their full share Of the feed
Just notice the herd some morning
II you are feeding the calves, dairy
and stock cattle all together. and you

will observe that the little fellows are
getting only q bit now and then a.
they dodge about among the other
cattle. Indeed, they are even very
liable to be badly injured besides by
some Of the larger animals.
Furthermore, even II 1t were SEN
sible or profitable to allow the calves
to run with the older animals, they
require more time In which to eat
and they will do much better II "a
tons peculiarly adapted to their needs
are given them.
In case one Is handling a consid-
cradle herd Of stock calves they
should be placed in separate quarters
from the others. Even the lot in
which they exercise or have their feed
racks for forage, should be arranged
so the larger animals will not have
access to 1t.
Individual feed troughs or boxes
cannot be furnished in a case like
this. but long troughs should be pro-
vided, their size being sufficient to
permit all the calves to eat without
crowding some way, as the larger
ones soon acquire the habit Of cheat.
ing the smaller and weaker ones out
Of their feed.
Where one Is raising only q few
calves, especially If they are for the
dairy herd, they should be housed
as above advised, and in addition they
should be trained to the halter. Teach
them to stand tied In their stalls and
to lead anywhere desired.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. II.
Cattle receipts here last week de-
creased 10000 head from the pre-
vious week, but the market did not
show a corresponding advance for
the reason that markets east had big
runs and lower prices, conditions re-
Elected in a measure here. The
close Of the week was firm here,
with some prospect for good prices
the coming week. But a run OF 81
900 head here today IN conjunction
with heavy supplies all around, put
the situation in the hands Of buy
ers and prices are 10 lower. Oanuer
material is an exception and sells as
high as ever, and calves are a quar-.
ter higher than a week ago. Choice
steers would sell above $500, fancy
yearlings making $40 here last week
and eligible to that figure yet. In
view of the large amount Of poul'
try that will be used In the next few
weeks, fed cattle ane not apt tc
show much gain before the first Of
the year. Butcher grades Of cattle
are lower today, but that kind is ex'
tremely scarce and has good come
back qualities. Cows sold a quarter
higher Friday than the middle Of tbs
week. Colorado cattle are here ia
numbers today, and sales are II
lower. Shippers say this is the last
big day Of the season for Coloardc
cattle. Beef grades sell around 700
and stock cattle and feeders, o
which kind the nun is largely made
up, bring $3.50 to 1885, COWS 90;
to SIS. Panhandle yearlings sell a
$50 to 7.75, COWS AS to 900, stool
calvess $50 to S.95. Quarantine ne
