There may be nothing in McKinley's life to warrant anyone In believing that personally he had sooner be an emperor than a president but this much cannot be said of' Mark Hanna, and there is where the danger lurks. If McKlntey is re-elected, will not lianna continne to mould the policies of the nation's chief executive in the future as ho has in the past? When has the president opposed the will of Mark Hanna Edward Spencer, a well-to.do farmer, living near Trenton, N. J., is of a deep ly religiousturn and insists that it is his duty, according to the .Bible, to whip his wife when she needs correction. Mrs. Spencer agrees with him in the general proposition, but is unable to see that she ever has deserved such punishment. Therefore, when Ed ward layed one he horsewhip a day cr two ago she had him arrested and he has been sent to jail for six months. It is said fever germs bave been found In the well of tho hospital at In dependence, where 103 cases of typhoid hare already been reported. It would be well If more people would credit tbe germ theory of disease and boil their water, especially as an epi demic of typhoid seems to be going through tbo state. Most people, how ever adopt the attitude of tbe old farm when Bhown tho microbes In his cheese: "Let 'em wriggle," said the old man, "If they kin stand it, I kin." We tind a thousand trusts established under the McKinley administration without any attempt to seriously en force the law against them. Whom are the trusts supporting for president None of them is standing for Bryan., They are all engaged in lighting Mc Kinley battles. That simple fact, known of all men, shows where the toasts expect aid and comfort through the presidential election. McKinley will see that they come to no harm and that the tariff shall still be manipulated In their favor,—Pittsburg Post. iBsues of Vital Moment. [St. Louis U?publ'c.] The vote to be cast In November will decide whether or not we shall hold fast to our old doctrines or accept those which control the course of the Euro pean monarchies. On the side ofadher ence to American faith Is honor, the truest glory, the stability of free insti tutions, the spread of liberty, our con tinued growth in greatness. On the side of an adoption of the creed of the old world is imperialism, militarism, grinding taxes, the eternal menace or fact of war, the hatred of all peoples, tbe linal extinction of liberty. It is asserted by well-imformed Washington correspondents that the president aud all of the campaign managers of his party are very uneasy over the political situation. The re ports they are receiving are of a char acter to make them anxious. These reports indicate that in all parts of tbe country thousands who voted for Mc Kinley in 1896 Intend to vote for Mr. Bryan this year. The reaeon these voters give for changing from Mc Kinley to Bryan is that they do not fear that Mr. Bryan, if elected, would undertake to overthrow the gold stand ard, but they do fear the imperialistic policy of the republican party.—Savan nah News.

Best Kind of SXamages, (From Keokuk Gate Oity.J The Keokuk board of education Beems to be experiencing an epidemic of marriage among the teachers at the beginning of the school year. There has already been a case or two and there are symptoms of more to follow. The marriage of a school teacher seems to te about the best kind of marriage in its results. At once It makes a vacancy in the teachers' list for some girl to fill. Later it had ought to develope into the best kind of a home. Any young woman who can manage thirty or forty of other people's children is competent to rear children of her own and to manage a man at tbe same time. And after all there is nothing that so pleases a man as to be managed by his wife —if she only does It skillfully. As long as sensible, BOlid, prosperous young business men pick out skilled, prety Keokuk school teachers for wives the pessimist can have Uttle to say about marriage hete.

Low Priced Cattle. Those who read the representative sales of cattle in market will note that a good many sell at comparatively low prices. The reason is that there is no place for which they are especially wanted. They are not fat enough to make desirable killers nor good enough to make Orst. ciaBs feeders. They aro classed by salesman as "In between," and that very aptly describes them. Stufl! of this kind must always sell at comparatively low prices. There is no special demand for the "misBts" in any ^ind of livestock.—National Stockman. Cow Feed. A good pasture for a cow is our na tive prairie. Another good feed is pro duced by sowing on well prepared ground an ordinary quality of oate, and at the same land and at the same time sow the usual amount of sorghum seed. 1 prefer tbe Kansas orange. The oats will be ready to cut at the customary time, 'i hen put it into a stack like bay in a convenient place to feed the cow when the pasture is exhausted. When the oats are taken off tbe cane soon shows itself. When six to twelve inches high turn in your cow to pasture, say ten to fifteen minutes the flrst time and increase the time till you can have her in as long as you wish with safety. At the end of the season if any fodder re mains cut and stack for winter feed. Improving Pastures. ExpetimenU at the grass station al Abilene, Texas, have shown that natur al pastures may be improved by disking the land, loosening the surface and thus trapping the grass seeds that otherwise would be blown away until caught by some natural obstacle instead of lodging where s^Qst needed. It was also shown that the Stock and the Hay Oi op We bear that iu some sections farm ers are planning to greatly reduce their stock this fall because of the Bhort hay crops. If they have no other alterna tive but to do so, we cannot blame them for such action, but we regret that they cJid not earlier provide for growing crops that would have kept tbe animals In good condition when pastures were dry and crops that could bave been sub stituted for hay when winter comeB. Some made such provision, and now, instead of selling animals, are ready to buy. They will tind farming proQtable this year because they will be so situat ed as to buy stock cheaply of less pru dent farmers, who can keep it until there are better crops. The next worst thing to selling stock at a time when it should be paying a profit is to sell it when It is not in the best condition to sell. All who have to sell stock should try to fatten it that they may get the best market prices, remembering that in buying and feeding grain they are adding fertility to their farms.—Amer lean Cultivator. Bow Process Butter Is Ilade. Tho Pennsylvania experiment station has published the following on bow process butter is made: "This product is a comparatively new competitor of creamery butter and it is country butter of various degrees of rancidness and color (that is, so rank in taste, smell and appearance as to be un salable for direct consumption), is thrown into a tank surrounded with water at a temperature of 100 degrees or over, and melted. When the mass lias become thoroughly melted the vat is skimmed, leaving the butter fat at tho bottom. It Is now removed to another vat similar in construction to the first, where the mass at this stage of the process baa a very bad odor. The next step is to remove this disagreeable and disgusting smell. This is done by pumping the fat up in a pipe by means of a rotary pump and discharging it into the vat again through a strainer which Bllowa it to fall into small streams. The exposure of the fat to the air for some time removes tbe odor. "After tbe fat lias been sufficiently aerated in this manner it iB ready for the next step. This is adding about one-fourth as much skim-milk as there is fat. A perfect emulsion of the fat andskim-milk is made by the same pumping operation, except that the strainer Is removed. The emulsion Is then run into a vat of ice-water, where it is quickly chilled, taking the granular form and looking like butter before It is salted and worked. It- Is now salted and worked and printed or packed in tubs read for the market." 'i MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1900 BSinfe process helped to retain the water falling on tho land instead of permitting it to flow away over the hard surface. Also that a deep furrow plowed every 10 to 20 feet had tbe same tendencies, catching the seeds in their flight and also the water from rains, causing it to soak into the ground in stead of running away to tbe draws, where it can do but little good. Careful experimentation is every year develop ing new and valuable truths bearing upon farming and stock raising.—Tex as Farm and Bancb. ififltinfiiii MiE THE BRAIN IN SLEEP. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CAUSES THAT PRODUCE DREAMS. The Influence on the Xerve. liy tile Stomach nnil the Food That It Con tain.—Event. That Occur in a Frac tion oC a Second. Dreams nrc generally a repetition of thoughts ungultled by reason. Tboso caused by internal action or brought" about by action within the body are due cntiri-ly to the action and state of' the stomach, which in turn Is affected by the quantity and quality of food consumed. The first ends or feelers of the nerves are locnted in the -walls of the stom ach, and as the food is digested they draw up the nourishment and distrib ute It throughout the nervous system to replace the waste that has taken place during the day. If tbe stomacb be surcharged with an abundance of heating food, too much nourishment is forced upon the brain, causing an ab normal filling of the channels, thereby expanding them, brlngiug them A blow, a cut or a sensation of pain will operate in the same way and awaken certain channels of thought conuectcd with pain just as the noise awoke those connected with sound. For instance, a sleeper dreams that he Is closed up in some close traveling carriage aud Is being driven rapidly oil In an unknown direction by a man who has designs upou his purse and life. He tries to shout, In vain he struggles to get free and In the tussle driveB an arm through the glass window of the carriage. The hand is cut and bleed ing. It smarts fearfully, and he awakes to flud that In his sleep he had carelessly thrown out an arm, and his hand has smashed some fine medicine glass on a staud by the bcdBide. The whole dream passud between the time that the hand flrst struck the glass, creating the sensation of pain, and th« moment that the sleeper awoke to re&b be the fact—Chicago Record.

Thicken a small quantity of beef tea quickly with 11 lit tle coru. Hour and pour it over the egg. Another way of serving a poached egg Is as follows: lircak a new laid egg luto a buttered teucup, season It with salt and pepper und place the cup In a stewpun containing sutiicient boil ing water to reach rather more than half way up the cup. As soon as tho egg is set turn it carefully ou to a piece of hot, buttered toast. While the egg Is cooking boil a small quantity of cream in a saucepan, season it with a little celery, salt and pepper and add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley to It. Pour the cream over tbe egg aud serve at once.—New York Post. Taffy'* Retort. A Welshman, walking through a fashionable street In London, noticed on a* door a bell. At the side ot tlia bell were these words, "Please ring the bell." Industry in touch with others and causing the mat ter from one to overflow Into or to mix with the fluid of neighboring channels. Whenever vtlie fluid traverses a chan nel more or less forcibly the thought which originated that passage Is re produced more or less vividly hence Insures tbe general mixing up of thoughts which originally hud no con nection with each other. An overloaded stomach also causes a flow of blood to the brain, sent there by nature to asslBt In nsslmllatlng the extra nourishment, and the overcharg ed blood vessels, pressing upon the nerve channels near the brain, cause even more turbulent disturbances. This accounts for the advice of so many medical men that no considerable quautlty, especially of animal food, should be taken Immediately before bedtime. The crossing, recrosslng and touching of these thought channels brought about In this way produae the absurd mixtures of fancies that often come to us when we sleep. Try The stomach, too, Is a mill which keeps on forever grinding, the walls acting as the grindstones. When, therefore, there Is nothing between them, or. In other words, when the stomach Is empty, one wall grinds up on the other, causing an Irritation of the nerves which produces that pecul iar sensation of falling from some great height To understand bow external action will affect the dream of a sleeper it must 1)0 borne In mind that those dreams which seem to take hours and even days, in passing really occupy but a minute fraction of a second. If, therefore, we are awakened by some loud, strtdent noise, say by the crack ing of tliep. betweeq tbe time that the sound strikes tbe'ear while we are vet asleep and the time thai we are fully awake to realize what has caused the sound a few moments only have elapsed, but those few moments were sufficient to allow of a dream of apparently several hours' duration. As an example: A milkman, driving up beneath an open bedroom window, cracks bis whip smartly. Immediate ly the thought produced by the sound causes a dream. The sleeper Imaglucs himself a soldier who has fallen into the hands of the enemy. He is led out to be shot. lie stands blindfolded, wit& hands tied, before the platoon of sol diers. He bears the click, click, click as the rifles are cocked. He hears the word given, and the noise of the volley rings out on his cars. Then he awakes with a start, to hear the rumble of the milkman's wagon as he cracked liis whip and drove oil over some rough cobblestones. by ft, FlretNatlonal Bank. Dubuque, Iowa.
