The ability displayed by Oom Paul Kruger in detending the rights of his people against the insatiate greed of the pirate empire of the world, is mak ing friends for the Boers in the adjacent British colonies of South Africa.

Samples of cement used at Gphesus and Smyrna several centuries before Christ have been analyzed and found to be composed of carbonate of lime and mixture of fatty acids. In trying to imitate it experiments were made with cement consisting of burned lime and olive or linseed oil, but it was found not to be permanent. Then a mixture of two-thirds air-slaked lime and one third olive oil was tried and hardened readily and seemed to possess greaten durance—which led to the belief that this was substantially the compositions of the ancient cements. 1 CTAKDWARE, STOVES, TINWARE, ETC. ,V\. flret-olass tinner and doea all kinds of repairing with neatness and dispatch.

It may well startle the advocates of an imperialistic policy to learn from the annual report of the pension com missioner that there are now on the pension list no less than 991,515 names. If nearly forty years after the begin ning of the great war between the states nearly 1,000,000 men are drawing an nually over 8140,000,000 from the treas ury, what must be the final burden to. the American taxpayer if President Mc Kinley's plan of conquest 1b carried out to its logical conclusion Truly, imperialism Is an expensive proposition. Can the people look with unanimity on a plan which carries with it the possibilities of an enormous increase of this burden of taxation to meet the tremendous expense entailed by pensions? from statistics furnished by the pen sion bureau, it is learned that since 18645. when the pension list began to assume considerable proportions, @2,370,000,000 have been expended in paying pensions. This is an amount not far from equal to the expenditures of the generrl gov ernment from" its organization down to 1860. The pension outlay from 1866 al most equals the highest notch that the public debt attained after the close of the civil war. The debt'reached its maximum August 1,1865, at £2,756,000 000. The pension expenditures since 1866 have been 82,370,000. The human mind is incapable of realizing the mag nitude of these money values. The pension outlay was double the grost earnings of all the 182,000 miles of rail way in the United States during the fiscal year 1898. Truly In calculating the cost of im perialism the minor, expense of the present is not the only item worthy of consideration. —Chicago Democrat. A pretty story is told of Captain Frey staetter, judge of the DreyfUB trial of 1894, who last week appeared at Rennes and told the conrt that he now thinks DreyfuB innocent. Eight years ago Frey' staetter was a lieutenant in the Ton quin army and led hiB men to the suc cessful attack ot the Tusyquem forts although three-fourths of them were hacked to pieces. The plot made the young BOldier one of the heroes of the hour, and bis picture appeared in the Paris illustrated papers. It was seen by a daughter of the great Manuel family. She sent her photograph with a few lines written on it. In four years the young officer was back in Paris and boldly stated his mission. Pere had no liking that his daughter should marry an olliicer in the colonial Bervice, and withheld hiB consent. Freystaetter was one of the Dreyfus judges in 1894 and soon afterward was sent to serve in Madagascar. News came that he was wounded and Mile. Maunel promptly fainted. Papa's heart was softened and last summer when tbeofli cer came back to Paris there was a wedding. In the meantime, Freystaet ter, after the suicide of Henry, became convinced that he had been an unwit ting victim of the general staff in blast ing the reputation of an innocent man. The thing was on his conscience and he announced his intention to testify be fore the court of cessation. The mili tary machine brought pressure to bear, even invoking the aid of hiB wife. She was told that he would ruin his pros pects by speaking against the army chiefs. Worthy of a hero's wife she responded: "Better a lower rank and Too Much Politic*. oti where shall llrcd mortals go. Of iolltics xrowe weary Sixteen to one, gold IniKS and trusts, Ami other subjects dreary, Fill all the papers hlisli or low, 1?ntll I know not whore to go. Until election's over.

Butter receives its texture and its consistency in the churn during churn ing, and defects which are produced during churning can by no means be subsequently removed. Cornstalks as fodder. An objection Ib Profits in dheeD. English farmers keep sheep profit ably on land which is worth from 8200 to 8300 per acre. They are kept not for their wool, but for their vplue as farm fertilizers and for the high priced mutton which they produce. It is an established fact that a pound of mutton can be produced on a western farm for as little first cost as a pound of beef or pork. In selling value the mutton holds its own with either. If we add to this fact the wool crop which, even at a low price, will pay for the food eaten by the sheep, and the valne of the sheep as a farm fertilizer and util izer of otherwise waste products, it proves beyond doubt that a flock of sheep, say 75 ewes on a quarter section farm, is one of the most profitable in vestments which can be made. We know there is the dog and the wolf and the lack of proper fencing with so many, hut by yarding at night near the house the first may be avoided, and a flock of the Bize named will justify the employment of a boy for a herder dur ing apart of the year when it is desir able to give the flock the range of fieldB outside a regular pasture. All the territory north of 42 degrees, lying in the northwest, is jspecially adapted to the sheep. Persistent Milking Win.. Last season, when the price for calves went skyward, many'farmers who had patronized the creamery and raised the calves on skimmilk thought they could Bee more money and less bother in let ting the calves suck the cows. The in dications are that this year calves will not be worth as much money, and as the cattle Btock of the country increases to the normal, calves will further de crease in value. Those farmers who stopped milking and turned In the calves will then see the mistake they made. They will find that their cows are not nearly as good milkers as they were, before, and it will take them sev-y eral years to build up an efficient dairy herd again. If there iB any one thing about dairy ing that has been thoroughly and com pletely demonstrated, it is that milk ing makes milkers. The best cow in the world can be ruined as a milker in a comparatively short time by simply letting the calf suok her or by care- ansullied honor. And it so .happened lessness in milking. The poorest cow the other day at Rennes that when the can ered it, he passed down among the otli- hlm COWB MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT, 13, 1899. —Audik BHK. raised by some to the utilization of cornstalks as fodder, be-1 cause, it is claimed, these stalks are needed to maintain the fertility of the soil by plowing them under. The dry stalk plowed under does very little for the soil, save to increase the supply of humus, and in this way serves a very good purpose on stiff clay soils. Aside from this, they are worth but little as a fertilizer and can be far more profit ably used as fodder to be returned to the soil later on as barnyard manure. Further, the rotation of the cornfield with the clover field is every way better as a means of keeping up soil fertility than plowing under the dry corn stalks. Rockford Register. Dairy Blood at Fair Prices. Again we call attention to ,the fact that good dairy bred cattle can be had at quite reasonable prices. In fact W# believe that this is a good time for those who need this kind of stock to invest in it. It is not bunting, bqgwk at scrub'prices, but as compared witlT the way other classes of pure bred stock are selling it looks cheap. There will sooner or later be a reaction- from the craze for beef that has invaded even the dairy districts, and with the dairy industry promising a healthy condition pure bred dairy cattle will be in better demand than now. The time to get good blood cheap is when it can be had. Those who let pass bar gains in trotting bred mares, beef cat tle and sheep a few yeare ago are pay ing much better prices for the same stock now, and they might hare been sellers now instead of buyer-i had they invested at the lower prices then.—Na tional Stockman.

Des Moines, la., Aug. 31.—The Peo pie's party state convention met here I yesterday with about 100 delegates present, and nominated a state ticket as follows: Governor, Charles A. Lloyd, Muscatine county lieutenant governor, S. M. Harvey. Polk judge supreme court, L. H. Weller, Chicka saw superintendent public instruc tion, C. Worth, IJenton railroad com missioner, Robert L. Dunning, Wa pello. The convention declared against fusion and lntorsed Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, and Ignatius Don nelly, of Minnesota, for president and vice-president in 1900. The conven tion was addressed during the day by Chairman A.W. C. Weeks, Professor George D. Herron (of Iowa college) and Joseph Parker, national organizer, of Kentucky. Weeks condemned the "so-called" Populiat convention re cently held In Des Moines, saying that it showed what had been previously claimed—that the Populists were being seduced from the path of Populism to become an aid society to the Demo cratic party. He held that this year &ouid be th. turning point in the history of the Peo ple's party. Fusion, he said, had been officially killed by the Democrats of Iowa in the last convention. The issues of the campaign as outlined by Weeks and incorporated in the plat form are anti-trust, bimetallism, in dustrial freedom, anti-imperialism and direct legislation. Weeks said: "The state conventions of both the Republic an and Democratic partiesof Iowa have denounced aggregations of capital, but neither party his proposed an adequate remedy. We declare the remedy for the trust evil to be public ownership of public utilities.." Weeks claimed that Bryan and the Democracy were as responsible for the Philippine war as the administration itself. The address of Professor Her ron was an exposition of his well known radical views on "Christian" Socialism. Arretted on Sunpiclon. Lamoni, la., Sept. 1.—Two persons have beeu arrested here on incidental circumstantial evidence as being prime or secondary manipulators in a series of burglaries which have been occur ring within the past few nights in rapid succession.

Eldora, la., Sept. 4.—Fred Hass, the Harden county farmer-forger, pleaded guilty in court, and was sentenced' to the penitentiary for five years.
