Kansas Pity Is destined to hermit n the
greatest distributing olnt In the West
for" poultry, urti n tew fats will con
vince "our readers of this truth. Al
ready the poultry business In Kansas
City amounts in over ll.oon.wn annually.
Few of our citizens rvallite Its Import
ance, but Interviews with out loent deal
era prove that the trade is growing and
from a commercial standpoint tte hall
soon be the headquarters In the West
tor potlltry. Our dealers are shipping
poultry nnd eggs Kast and the Kaatern
dealers are reeognlglng thnt Western
poultry Is of a far better grade than
formerly. Th poultry business of the
t'nlted sttntes la fnst becoming of na
tional importance and when it Is known
that nlrrady It equals thnt of beef and
)ork combined the day is not far dis
tant when It will bo recognised aa one of
our great national resources. The prod
uct of eggs alone In this country Is over
700,000,000 doxen annually but even this
does not supply the demand, as we im
port millions of dollars' worth annually.
The revenue derived from poultry and
eggs Is enormous, and the1 public taste
Is fast becoming weaned from beef and
pork and people are louklng for iHWltry,
and this of the very bst itrnde. The
'poultry allows of the country are edu
cating farmer and trnders to n higher
standard and the potlltry of to-day will
compare favorably with the thorough
bred of other' aperies of domestic ani
mals. Coinpotltlun at these shows
(nmontf which our own Mldcontlttental)
compel more ntlentlon to the breeding
anil care of poultry, nnd thus the public
get the ndvnntngp.
The groat Mldcnntlnentnt poultry show
of last year was n sturess In every way,
and this year our business men nnd
the Commercial Club realize Its Import
ance and benolll to Kansas City. In
correspondence with breeders all over
the country Kansas City is advertised
by sketches and business details, and tho
liberality of our citizens Is now Well
known, nnd It Is admitted that Kansas
City Is one of the best show towns In
the country, and from a commercial
standpoint It Is classed by the poultry
men as fast comliiK to the front.
This year the .Mldcontliionlnl holds Its
second annual show, and letters nre
liourlnc In from breeders and manu
facturers of poultry appliances assuring
the managers of their support. One llrm
in Michigan Is talking about locating
their plant here to manufacture Incu
bators and brooders, as they recognize
this city to be a line distributing point.
The Mlilcotitlnental Is making great
preparations for a large show, and will
do Un best, by liberal premiums to In
sure a largo uttonclance from nil parts
if. this country nnd Cantnlti.
'Last year, through the liberality of
Obr business men, It was enabled to pay
all premiums to the exhibitors (some
$.",000) before they left the elty, and by
so doing established a reputation second
to none, not only for itself but for our
great Western nietropolIs.-The Caniidlan
exhibitors said Knnsns City -was ahead
of New York In Ibis respect nnd pre
dicted that the Mldcontlnental show
would soon rank as the largest In the
land, nnd that any city supporting such
nn association must become the best
commercial city of the West.

.Kansas has caught on to the Slisgo'tiri
scheme of "Missouri on Wheels" and the
president of the state real estate as
sociation is advocating tie organization
of Million Clubs. These clubs are to
endeavor to secure 1,000,000 new citizens
for Kansas and they are to do It by ad
vertising the state and they are to use
the Missouri idea In the advertising.
It might not be a bad Idea for Missouri
to borrow part of the Kansas idea and
organize clubs or other organizations for
the purpose of securing a given or in
detlnlte number of immigrants for this
state.
As boundless as nre the possibilities of
the future development of the great
Sunflower state, yet the development is
possible along comparatively limited
lines. Missouri offers a far greater di
versity of opportunity. Capital has held
out to It more numerous Inducements
and this great variety of resources Is
largely In favor of this state. But there
Is room In the two states for hundreds
of thousands of Immigrants. There Is
no opportunity for conflict or jealousy
In the success that comes to each or
both. It might not be a had Idea for
tl-tm to join in the extensive and ef
fective advertisements of the resources of
tbtse two groat commouweilths. Fill
ojn enr with Kansas mm and Ihe next
with Missouri lead and zln: fl.ll the
next with Kansas wheat and salt and
the next with Missouri iron and apples;
till the following with Kansas salt and
the next with Missouri fruits. Then
bring up the rear with cars filled, with
Missouri nnd Kansas ilvo stock and
iamI and nil tho other products common
to both states. Then let the immigrants
choose between the states, it will rea'ly
make little difference which they choose.
Those who come from the Katt would
hardly pass through Missouri without
slopping and those who come from tho
other way could hardly resUt the at
tractions of the Kansas prairies.

If anybody Is Inclined to doubt the
power of the gold syndicate to control
the otitllow of the yellow metal from
this country to Kurope let him ".m'tully
read the hews of the day with that sub
Ject In tnllld attd he will nn longer ques
tion the fact. And If anylmdy 1 elloves
that this power la being txfrid simply
ns a matter of sentiment he may easily
Convince himself that It Is a tilatler of
hard dollars and cents that Is behind
their acta.
In the first place, there Is the obliga
tion which they assumed In their deat
with Mr, Cleveland that they would
"protect" the treasury of the United
alales. It was Impossible for these
monopolists of the world's money to esti
mate the cost or this protection, but tiny
wore sure of enough prollt In the bond
deal to warrant them In "going blind"
on ihe proposition. The furtbe- ngree
ment that they should have nn optlnii
on any other bond Issttea that might be
come necessary under the present admin
istration gave them the whip hand over
other money sweaters, and they now
draw the lines with nil tho nssutnnco of
their power.
If you want to go to Kttropc, for In
stance, you must have the consent of
the syndicate, unless you take American
gold along In your pocket and sell it as ti
commodity wheh you got over there.
Volt cannot get a letter of credit, the
usual way that travelers piovlde for the
payment of their expenses on the other

arrangement for paying him for the

that he will tax you 2 cents on every
pound sterling that you shall use over
there all you have to do Is to put your
hand In your pocket and hand over the
amount. You will get 110 cut rate from
any other source. It Is $2 for 11 hundred
pounds or no letter of ctcdlt.
The ayndlcnte has a cinch on tho gold
nnd Is working It for all there Is In It,
not only In this way but In every other.
The American tourist Is multiplying In
numbers every year, and It Is estimated
that this year he will pay to the gold
monopolists the very handsome sum of
a half million dollars. There Is no com
petition. The syndicate has provided

The report of the Missouri river com
mission, just submitted to the chief of
engineers nt Washington, is an import
ant document to those who have In the
past been Interested In tho subject. Tho
work of the past year has not been
costly, but it has extended nlong the
lower part Of the river 125 miles from its
confluence with tho Mlr.sissippl. The
amount expended was about $."00,000.
including the cost of. ropalrs made at
several important points above.
The commission reports that although
the permanent result of the work cannot
be conclusively determined for a year
or two to come, there can be no ques
tion but the channel has been materially
straightened, and that great benefit has
been done in the direction of improving
navigation. The commission is con
vinced that by a system of revetment
and dykes the river can be brought prac
tically under control.
All this Is but merely a -confirmation of
the calculations made by engineers for
many years past, and- which were made
the basis fur the efforts of Kansas City,
St, Joseph and other towns along tho
river year after year, to secure adequate
congressional appropriations to carry
the plans into effect.
There has been no trouble In getting
money to Improve navigation on the
lower Mississippi, but when It came
to asking for the same treatment for the
Missouri It was another thing. The big
town nt the other side of this state does
not care to sec the products of the West
go right past the doors of Its ware
houses on the way to tide water at the
Oulf. The railroads nre also interested
In the matter and their lobby in Wash
ington is by no means vveuk when such
questions come up.
Jf one-tenth as much money as has
been wasted on the lower Mississippi
had been npproprlr.tcd 17 congress to
make navigation on tho Missouri pos
sible, we would at the present time have,
a fleet of boats running past Kansas
City that would bo worth millions of
dollars to our trade every year.

The dispatches say that tho young
women of San Francisco are continuing
to 'lionize" Pnrrant, the medical student
on trial for two of the most cownrdly
murders committed in this country for
years. The feminine mind Is constructed
along fearful and wonderful lines. Haw
any sane anil respectable woman can
look upon such a man as I hi mint with
any other feeling than that jf horror
and loathing U Inconceivable. Tliore is
nt least a probability that Dttrrnnt h
guilty; there is no overwhelming prob
ability that he is innocent; and In tho
absence of positive evidence that ho Is
not Innocent of the terrlblo crimes with
which he la charged, it would t-ein that
respectable and Intelligent women would
regard him with aversion Instead of
"lionising" Dim, offering him flowers and
vvastlug upon him ft sympathy which Is
mere disgusting sentimentality.
itut this is one nf the most frequent
phenomena in tho annuls of erlm. The
murderer U "lionized," while tho petty
thief is spurned with contempt. The
tnafe heinous and revolting the crlm.-,
tho larger seems to bo tho number of
thoe ready and anxious to make 1 hero
and martyr of the accused. Why the
murderer should receive (lowers and bo
deluged with a hemorrhago of sym
pathy while the man who steals .1 sack

to look upon, must remain a mystery
until Mycology becomes a more exact

IMItorlal Correspondence of the Journal.
Chicago. July 26, ISPS.
Mr. Horr seems lo be physically the
worse for this debate, as .there H no
meeting to-day nnd the conclusion put
over until Monday. He Is the older
man by many years nnd the strain Is
telling on him. Yesterday was given
up on both sides to n running discussion
more than tisiml, particularly on the
part nf Mr. Harvey, and In that respect
seemed to be what Mr. Horr Is nfter.
Ills strong forte seems to be personal
attack and side Issues, 1 am reasonably
familiar with tariff aiguments and Mr.
Horr has always been regarded as one
of the most adroit tariff debaters In
the country. And yesterday all tint was
needed most of the time was to shut
your eyes and keep open your eats to
realise that Horr was In one of his
familiar tariff discussions. He talked as
glibly about manufactures, tho amount
calico and othr articles had been cheap
ened by Ameilcan skill and Invention as
though In had been before the Wilson
committee on ways and means. Yerter
day was a day of assertion, savu when
Mr, Harvey got in somo of bin tables
nnd documents. Much of tho time was
consumed on tho old mntt"r of con
gressmen being as honest as other peo
ple. Ono of the most remarkable demon
strations of the fall In prices of nil
commodities In sympathy with silver
was Introduced by Mr. Harvey, from the
Iloyal Statistical Society of London. It
covers forty-eight years from 1SI6 to
1891 nml Includes London prices on
forty-live loading uitlclvs of commerce
vegetable foods, animal foods, sugar,
cotfeo, ten, minerals, textiles and other
materials. It Is as follows:

In the Journal or the Hoyal Statistical So

and March, 1 SOS. The commodities are the
forty-live leading articles of comnieice. His
work shows the greatest care, and Is ac
cepted as reliable by all others who hnvo
undertaken tho same work. The table Is
by index numbers. The 100, or Index num
ber, with which, the average Is computed
for each year. Is artlved at by taking tho

As Mr. Harvey said, a careful and
candid study of that table will settle
the sliver question in twenty-four hours,
l'rlces of vegetable foods in lSiH nt 100
ami n 1S91 at 55 ns compared with silver
at 97.5 and 47.G the sumo years are the
two ends of the lahle in 1ST- it was 99.2
for silver anil 17.09 now nt the end of
2a years and the fall is as regular as
though operatid by machinery.
One of the peculiar facts In this de
bate is that on tho slijo of t-llver It hns
been fact, proof, demonstration historic
economic cause nnd effect while on the
sldo of gold it has been words, sneers,
personalities and an nssumed superiority
that amounts to supercilious Insult. Only
yesterday did Mr. Harvey show restless
ness and feeling, lie has had splendid
command of himself nnd stuck to tho
record and rules. Mr. Ilorr's words uro
too often open to criticism as dlscourto
ous, but his manner is worse. Assertion,
the reader will sec, Is not nrgument. I
will give a specimen and choose for It
something outside of tho debate. Tho
last half hour is allowed for questions
from the audience three to each and by
them answered,
Ono of tho questions put to Mr.
Horr yesterday was from l' J. Bchultc,
nf Chicago, as follows: "Would not tho
demonetization of gold have the effect
of diminishing Its valuo regardless of
the cost of production?"
To this Mr. Horr replied and 1 quote
bis answer In full for it is 11 specimen
of his whole bearing In this debute. I
quote from the Monographer's report
and from my own hearing can under
write Its ciirioctneks;
.Mr. Horr ".My answer lo that question
Is rhat It assunieH that it is toasible to de
monetize nold All tho nations In the world
couldn't demonetise gold. They haven't
tho power to do It by law In any way
possible. Why? Why people like gold as
mono) becauki- they want It. because they
prefer it, beeaiike It nulls them, and when
a man wants to uc 11 thing he U golnn to
use it. Do 1011 think by pass-lug a law
you could de-bread wheat stop the peo
ple of the world from using wheat any
more for bread? You couldn't. Von may
think you could, but vou couldn't. It Is
beyond the province of the .iw. Now. If
the United Slates alone had passed a law
ns tu gold the fcume us they did us to sil
ver, and had placed this nation on a silver
Ikj.-ls instead of a void one. It would not
have nltered the price of gold one lota,
no inoie than did the demon, tlzatlon of
silver by the Hmdlsh nation in IS10. The
world uses gold to-day as the measure of
values in all International matters, not be.
cause there Is any law. Hold has no inter
national standing coined at ull. And yet
wo are Just as completely la our recogni
tion of It ut, u. measure of value as it you
passed a law Now ! will answer In 11
word. If governin. uts had lot the two met
als alone and had let tho people of the
ucrM alwavs. determine bv their contracts
Oust the amount of gold to be paid, for 4.
certain thing, or Just lhe amount of silver,
and had never attempted to get up rallos
between the two tnetnls, we never would
have had anv bother on thU question,
everything would I run by people nr.
cording to their understanding, that they
should keep their contract, and If they
said wheat, pay in wheal If they said
gold, pay In cold; If they wild silver, pav
n silver. Let ihe people run llielr bus
Inns: they ate able to do It.'"
Will the render plense look over 'Hint,
ns coming from the man selected by
Ibe gold bonrd nt New York to come
out to Chicago and In nine days devour
"Coin's book?" And this Is the Very last
thing he pnld on the seventh day. I shall
not nttempt here to criticise, compare or
Unravel It II Is Itself only equal to
Itself. Hut read It carefully and remem
ber It Is n man defending gold ns the one
only law tnnde universal money.
t do not know that this discussion enlls
for uny special comment from me. The
press reixirl gives tho main points nnd
the public have already discounted the
result. The gold papers are belittling It,
the Herald here absolutely making fun
nf It. There never has been such a dis
appointment, nnd the treatment of Mr.
Horr on their pnrt I simply scandalous.
The only gentlemanly treatment be hns
had here Is from the Inler Ocean nnd
from Mr. Hnrvoy nnd the audience. Mr.
Horr himself hns not been free from
criticism, for he hns frequently, and yes
terday In exceeding b.ul taste, nbttsed
the audience for its npplnuse. Itut then
the man Is so full of quaint ways nnd sot
evidently overmatched that tho audience
tnkes It nil In a good nntured nnd kindly
spirit.
The failure Is not due to Mr. Horr, for
he Is one of the nblest and most n droit
public debaters In the country, nnd was
selected because nt that fact. l'or
twenty yenrs he has had a national
reputation In this respect. The fault Is
in tho cause be advocates. Silver has
been money since money was known
among men. Alt the land owned In the
world, nil the bonds Ismed and nil
money borrowed snce notes of hand
were Invented and nil credits asked
have been on the existence and use of
silver ns money. And Mr. Horr, nblo
as he Is, cannot change thai fact or set
aside the effect of the change made
from It. That Is the cause of his failure.

IS WALLACE INSANE?
It Is Thought the Mind of the Mini Who
Claimed to Have .Mllllnn- 1 Un
balanced. Robert Wullnco was sentenced to six
months In the county Jail by Justice Wl th
row yesterday. He was charged with hav
ing obtained ?13 worth of board from M.
J. Spellman, of Tvvunty-llrst street and
Highland avenue, under false pretenses,
representing that ho was wealthy and
would, as a recompense to tho Spellman
family for keeping him the rest of his
life, deed to them a large amount of prop
erty purported to be worth million's of
dollars. He claimed to be the lessee of
tho Auditorium and engaged the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Spellman as his private
secretary. He went so far as to have Miss
Spellman sign the signature register in
several banks where ho said he had money
on deposit and led her to believe that her
signature alone to checks -would be valid.
One day while on a street car with Miss
Spellnmn, Wallace could not pay fnre.
This aroused the young lady's suspicion
that all was not us he hail represented
and. after consulting with her father, they
decided upon his arrest. At the prelim
inary examination It was developed that
Wallace was an Impostor and had worked
the scheme on other parties, and had Just
llntshed a six months' sentence in the
county Jail for obtaining boatd under false
pretenses..
Yesterday all the facts In the case were
brought forth, and Justice Wlthrow con
clude.! that a sentence to the county Jail
would enable Wallace lo mend the error
of his vvuy fn the future and therefore
gave him slv months. It ts stated that
Wallace is mentally unbalanced and that
steps will he taken soon to have hlni be
ri.re the county court for examination as
to Ids sanity.
At the trial yesterday before Justice
Wlthrow some startling facts were 10
veiiled about Wallace's past career w hleh
have never before been made public.
AtnoiiK the witnesses Introduced by the
prosecution was a Ml.-s Annie Vorpahl,
who has a small hoarding: house :it 023
Walnut street. On the witness stand Ml"s
Vorpahl swore that she had known Wall
ace since April, 1S9I. That he had boarded
with her for over a year and still owed
her for tie same. He had promised to pay
her by deeding rich lands In Switzerland to
her. as well as the property at Fifteenth
and McGeo streets, and the two storv
building on the southeast corner of Twelfth
street and Cirand avenue. l!y his smooth
mlsrepresntatlon, Mlso Vorpahl claimed,
Wallace had completely won her over 1o
his side. To make the matter appear
more feasible, It Is alleged that Wallace
had drawn up a will In the ofllce of J. II.
Hreminerman. In which ho bequeathed all
the property mentioned to Miss Vorpahl.
Miss Vorpahl then told the court that
she whs satisfied of Wallace's wealth and
permitted him to board with her for a
year. He finally went away and she heard
no more of him until he was arrested for
duping the Hpellmans. She consulted an
other attorney and ascertained thnt 'the
property Wallace had deeded lo her was
not his and that she too had been de.
frauded. She says she will prosecute htm
upon. his release from the county Jail aft
er serving his present sentence.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Lnthcv
was greatly interested In Miss Vorpnhl's
storv and will Investigate tho allegations
to their fiillc'st extent.

Attorney John O'ttrnlj. city "It may
not be generally known, but I once lived
In Kansas, and was innycr of n thriving
lltlls town en the southern holder. That
was In the e.niy lns. and It did not cot
much lo 1e mover, nor did It pay much,
either. When Ihe hovs around town start
ed out to have a good time they did not
tiie the proper respect for the feelings or
the town marshal, and without. fall treated
the ordlnnnres or the city with impunity.
They would ride upon the sidewalks and
at different times have been known to en
ter stores on horseback. A short lime be
fore I left the sunny glades of Kansas my
town was thrown Into an Uproar by the
repented trials of horsemanship of one
man upon the fast decaying sidewalks. He
took chilly Jaunts over the loose boards and
no entrentles or threats .could Induce htm
to desist. While action was being taken

Ofllccr Casey, city "One meets with all

number of out-of-town people were stand
ing about the depot platform nl the Cnlon
depot, n countryman enme hurriedly up to
me nnd requested that I take personal
charge of him until his train left. He was
perfectly sober, but seemed lo think that
all a police otllcer had to do was to stand
around and look after people who are un
able to look after themselves. His train
was not duo to leave tor an hour and I
told hint to go nnd sit down nnd not worry.
He replied that he had been In Kansas

not want It to happen again."
Judge J. II. Stone, city "One of the chief
obstacles In the way of beautifying Kast
side pioperty Is the location of the Imposi
tion race track and ball grounds, ns won
as the exposition building. Collectively
they occupy one of the most prominent lo
cations on tho Kast side, nnd one of the
most desirable for beautifying residence
sites. With streets cut through the pies,
ent site or the Imposition park property
and the ground laid oft Into town lots
there would be a rush to secure them, and
the result would bo a much Improved por
tion of Kansas City, which Is now very nn.
attractive. 1'eoplc will not build In that
vicinity so long as the ground Is occupied
as it now Is."
Itobert M. nuggles.Topcka, Kn?. "I have
heard of all sorts of ordinances passed In
various cities regulating the riding of bi
cycles, but I think that the extreme has
been reached In Emporia, Kas., where 1111
oidlnancp was passeil requiring that every
bicycle must be provided with a bell and
lantern, and that upon approaching within
firty feet of a street crossing the bell must
be sounded, and that In passlne a vehicle
or person on the street the alaiT?. must be
sounded continuously from the time the
person or vehicle Is sighted until nfter they
pass. They not only enacted that kind of
a 'blue- law. but attempted to rigidly en
force It. with the result that a number of
the swell society girls of that town have
boon summoned to appear before the police
Judge and explain a fracture of the law of
the municipality. The unusual sight of the
daughters or tho aristocracy under arrest
has iirot'sed the brothers and rathcrs of
the violators of law, with the result that
they are petitioning the members of the
city council to resign tnir pinces.-
1 M. Stultz. Kansas City. Mo. "Do you
know that there are r..i eggs consumed
In Kansas City dally, and that the Ameri
can hen is everywhete doing her best to
discourage hard times? A hanker rrom a
near Missouri town says that the ex
change!, from his bank from the poultry
business nre greater than from any other
one branch nf business. One company In
the Cnltod States dealing In poultry has
1.10 poultry cars In active use, and only a
few days ago an order for thirty-eight cars
was given by a Western poultry tlrm to an
Kastern mnnufartiiiing firm. The poultry
business Is booming, and tho business Is
not alone limited to the raising of eggs Tor
the market, but there are any number of
dealers who deal only In fancy chickens
and who are In the strictest sense poultry
fanciers. The great poultry shows given In
this country are growing In popularity, and
each year are more generally attended."
Major Calvin Hood, Hmporln, Kas. "I
appreciate that Kansas City Is a splendid
place In which to live, and with large busi
ness Interests here, I have several times
thought of leaving Kansas and taking up
my permanent residence In Kansas City,
but when one has lived thirty years In one
town end has half a hundred Important
Interests centered there. It Is hard to pull
up and move away. Kansas City has late

advancement in the passage of measures

1'rofe.ssor I. C. McNeill, treasurer of tho
National IMitcatlonal Association "The
main achievement of the late nn otitic of
the National Educational Association nt
Denver was the appointment of the com
mittee of twelve that will formulate a
method tor the betterment of rural schools.
The committee will sp nd all the money
necessary lo make investigations, collect
statistics nnd gather data for Its report
nt tho next national meeting. As every
great movement In the new" educational
mfithods originated within the past ten
years has found Its origin In the national
association, guat things may be expected
of the coming report of this committee.
The rural schools of this country havo
be 11 more neglected than all other sys
tems of schools taken together. There Is
no reason why the rural schools of this
country cannot be systematized as well
as the city schools. At tho head of this
committee Is Hon. Henry Sabiii, Mate
superintendent of the Iowa schools. Fro
fessor L. 11. Wolf, ex-state superintendent
of the schools of Missouri, is also h mem
ber of tho committee. The National lMti
cntlonal Association had the largest meet
ing this year in Denver of any so fur in
Its history. There were ptcsPnt over 15,-
000 teachers, representing every state and
territory of the t'nited States, besides
Canada and Mexico. The good resulting
from these meetings Is of a far reaching
nature, and is the source of what will
ultimately bo 11 great national system of
education, a thing this country has long
been in need of. and has, so far, never at
tained. There has never been a more hos
pitable city than Denver towards thu great
multitude of teachers that gathered with
in her borders to attend tho recent con
vention. Aaron drove, superintendent of
Denver's city schools, and chairman of
the local reception committee, proved him
self a veritable Juipoleon In the manage
ment of the icveptlon of tho multitude of
guests. All the private homes of the city
were thrown open to receive the throng of
visiting sueats,"
W. F. Hacknev, Kansas Cy "The new
lily library will be one of the boasts of the
citi. It will be hi far a better and more
imposing structure than any Kastein city
had for a llhraiy building up to five or six
years uko. Of course, within the last few
yeaik, ull of the large cities of tho country
huvc built large and costly edifices for
their public libraries. We can boust of the
prettiest and luigest public library In tho
West when the new one now in the hands
of the builders Is completed. It will bo
completely modern in all details of con
sanction. It will be absolutely fireproof,
and the arrangements will bo the tminu as
that of all the principal modern libraries.
It speaks well for tho spirit of refinement
and culture which to widely permeates
Western cltles.und which Is sometimes sup

as such, was nn enthusiastic advocate of
the nntl-oleomnrgntine law passed Inst

of the oleo. Last week when I was at

mntter and thought the action of the leg
islature very appropriate, The usual week
ly delivery of dairy butter was made at
her house and as It was very salty and
had many largo yellow specks In It she
took her dairyman to tusk for mixing
butter and not furnishing his own make
ns he represented ho was doing. Then
she heard something thnt surprised her.
The man told her the specks were the
coloring compound, the artificial method
for giving it that beautiful, dainty color.
She asked If he really used It and ho
acknowledged ho did nnd Informed her
that If he did not she would not use his
butter. He was able to sell it on the
splendid color he was able to get. while If
the usual color was. used It would not bo

have shown that a bullet tired at close

Is anything In this world that lends to dis
gust an Idaholan It is the sensational dis
patches now being received by Eastern,
newspapers from Irresponsible correspond
ents In Idnhn concerning an alleged upris
ing of the Lempl and Mannoek Indians oiv
the Teton river. The reports state that)
settlers In Jackson's Hole have been butch
ered by the Indians and that they will
probably murder all the settlers in the,
Teton valley. It Is a lie inailo out of
whole cloth. The Indians are not the ag
gressors. The truth of the matter Is thac
cattle barons with ranges In Wyoming anil
Idaho are determined to secure tho nan
nock reservation for pasturage ror their
cattle. With this object In view they havo
systematically and deliberately provokeil
Ihe Indians for the past three years. It
they can cause nn uprising they will strlvo
to .secure the Indians' removal to another
district. I'crhaps some settlers have been
killed, but yon will eventually learn that
not one murder wus done by the Lempl or
Hannock Indians. It is a notorious fact
among the people of Idaho and Wyoming
that cattle barons in the Teton valley
country have caused all the trouble In thac
section. Their robberies are not entirely
contlned to stealing land and cattle from
Indians. It Is Invariably the case that
when a white man settles In that country
under the liomestend law that In a 'few
months the news will be sent around that
he la, a 'rustler' or cattle thief. The final
outcome will be that bis neighbors, all la
the employ of large cattle owners, will
ride up and till him full or lead. His claim
Is again open for settlement and his small
herd of cattle are lost In the countless
herds or tho barons. You may think this
a wild story, but It Is the history of hun
dreds of murdered settlers. My brother,
Cl.trenco L. .Southern, was one of tho re
cent victims, He was killed six weeks ago
near Smith's Fork, about twenty-five miles
from Fort Hrldges. I am now on my way
Ciary'a Mills, N. Y., to break the news
of Ills death to our mother."
