that it should take steps toward a fed

party also stood for equal suffrage and
favored the submitting of the liquor
question tn the people.

In Mernoriam
James William 'cowherd.

James William Cowherd was born in
Shelby county, Kentucky, June 10, 1863
and died October 4. 1914, near Waka-
rusa, Kansas. He lived in Kentucky I'M
til Fl years of age, when he moved to
Iowa, where he married Rosa Belle
Hackart at Ottumwa, Iowa, December
%, 1891. Mr.. and Mrs. Cowherd came
to Kansas about fifteen years ago and
lived at Wichita, and later at Topeka
They bought the DR.. Whitney place in
the Fountain Ridge neighborhood in
north Usage county four years ago,
which they have recently sold.
Mr.. Cowherd was a railroad man
nearly all his life and acquired the
spirit and philosophy of life of rail-
road man. He was a hard and faithful
worker at anything he turned his hand
to do; a fond and devoted husbaEd he
was especially kind and sympathetic
and helpful in his relations with 9TH
ers; and he was good mixer and a
splendid comrade, which made him a
host of friends in every place he lived.
His sudden death came as great
shock to all who knew him. He had not
been feeling we'll for some months but
was at his work all the time. Thursday,
September "a, he pricked his nose with
a corn stalk in the field and an irrita-
ton set in which became more and
more painful and Unframed until the
doctor was called few days afterward,
who Immediately asserted that the in
lection was of such nature that no
help was possible. OF this fact Mr..
Cowherd seemed to be aware from the
first and began to prepare his spirit
and lis business for the inevitable. The
virulent blood poisoning that set in de-
stroyed all the similitude of the head
and features of a man, and the pain
and suffering became indescribable All
that human skill and kindness could do
was done to ease his pain until the end
came about 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
He is survived by his wife. and by
his mother, Mrs. Elvira Cowherd, of
Buchanan, KY, and by three brothers
and a sister, aged in the following or

GERMANS DISCLAIM
HATRED OF ENGLAND

Amsterdam, (via London), Oct. 81.
The Berlin Tageblatt in an editorial
appears to renounce the views recent.
ly prevalent in Germany that the des-
truction of England is the main object
of the present war.
Because Russia threatened u.s." it
says, and because it's perpetual
menace is intolerable, the German
people went to war Until we finish
we must not forget for moment why
we began.
Every loss of power by England
means for Russia a further gain of
strength, influence and freedom of
movement. We all hope that Eng
lands position as the worlds dictator
will be shaken, but it is ten-fold our
duty to fight against Russia becoming

that the Russians are at least holding
their own Both sides are evidently
entrenching and the Vistula river
region promises to become another
battle of the Aisne.
The allies console themselves for
the Russian withdrawal from western
Galicia and the advanced positions
near the Russian-P Polish border by the
belief that the Germans having COM
mitted themselves to an invasion OF
Russian Poland will not be as likely to
send achievements to the armies in
the west as would have been the case
if the Russians had suffered great
reverse nearer the German frontier
Outside of the purely military opera
lions interest centers in the Russian
emperors ukase against vodka and
the efforts being made to care for the
Belgians still in their own country and
to feed and repatriate those who have
taken refuge in other countries. Ber-
lin states that no obstacles will be
placed in the way of this necessary
work but at the same time claims that
Germany has done all possible in view
of military exigencies, to relieve the
distress in Belgium.
The Russian emperor's ukase is
said to have been issued in response
to widespread demand of his people
who have been astonished by the eff
feet on the country of the prohibition
of the use of vodka which followed
mobilization.
Britons Observe Anniversary.
Patriotic Britons today are making
a mecca of Lord Nelson's monument,
decorated in honor of the anniversary
of the victory of Trafalgar. From an
early hour enormous crowds surged
about Trafalgar square and nearby
streets. A strange reversal of history
is the number of floral tributes placed
on the monument to the French
navy.

Wneat mas made bulge Of more
than &c in seven days. The break yes
terday was not unexpected, even in the
tact OF the buying of over 100000 blu
for export Monday. Bulls saws they ex-
pect recessions from the sharp bulges in
all grains from time to time but ulti-
mately they look for advances to high
er prices than have been seen so far
this season All bulges that enable in
terror buyers to pay 81 to the farmers.
it is said. are likely to induce scattered
sales by them. But the foreign demand
for everything we have to spare, it is
believed. will continue so long as the
war in Europe lasts.
Traders who watched pit operations
in all grains said the buying on the
breaks was Of good class and much
better than the selling. Houses with
export connections were conspicuous
buyers at inside figures, taking all Of
terlngs. Bears expect further decline
in all brains, but bulls said grains
should be bought on all recessions, as
1t is more Of merchandising than a
speculative proposition. and is likely to
continue so for months.

the season We're SAY @54Ac, and May
5SRc. Top prices yesterday were within

Corn bulls are disposed to go slow on
the buying side so-'long as weather
continues fine. 1t was noticed by trad
ers, however, that the pit element is
doing most of the selling, while those
who have been bearish have absorbed
most or the offerings for May Of late.
Most OF the trading is now in May.
