A prominent populist in Kansas

ous Impressions we had gathered of

Tim spirit of accommodation is still
alive In the West. The Ohio State
Journal tells of how a lady who lias a
great horror of the tobacco habit got
on a car, the other day, and said to
the passenger next to her: "Do you
chew tobacco, sir'/’’ “No, ma'am, 1
don't," was the reply, “but I can get
you a chaw if you want one.”
A man named Hunker, over in Paw-
nee, advertised for a wife. Within a
week two former ones, from whom he
liad neglected to procure divorces,
came on. one from Kansas and the
other from Missouri, and had him ar-
rested and jailed for bigamy. And
yet people doubt the efficiency of ad-
vertising.
Ne» Tariety 0/ Corn.
The lies Moines Register tells of a
w-nderful new variety of corn which
an Iowa farmer has produced by re-
peated experiments, which will yield
at the rale of 15m bushels to the acre.
It is called the German corn, is very
white, produces from three to seven
ears on the stalk, and from ten to
twenty stalks to the hill, while in
seeding but one grain of seed is re-
quired to each hill. The com branches
out from the root ik<- winter wheat
and grows fpun ten to twelve feet
high. The ears are about nine Inches
long and quite thick, t .<• grains or
kernels being very large and even.
Only about seventy-live bushels of
this variety have been produced this
year, but this will be enough to seed
a good size Held, and perhaps in an-
other year the seed will is- plenty.
When this corn comps into general
culture it would make corn the cheap-
est fuel that could lie obtained.
The Rooster Still Rules.
Jere Johnson and Ed Korns of the
Republic vn-Mkw h-Joiknal were up
to Kansas < ity last Saturday and Sun-
day and among the other notable
tilings they did was the purchase of
a chaste and ornate game cock for
Ed's little boy. Ed packed the vicious
bird in a small l*>.\ with slats across
the top and the three Jere, Ed and
his bird started down to the depot.
Kansas City is a good big town, larger
in fact than Newkirk by quite a bit.
and a great many people believe that
when two men and a game cock start
down the pike their objective point
is a cocking main. Neither Jere nor
Fid look like chicken lighters, hut that
didn't amount to anything in the eyes
of the people of Kansas City: tnej
supposed they were in the business
and treated the case accordingly. Ev-
ery sport in town took occasion to
ask them all iilxiut the affair and
where it was to lie pulled off, and
when they arrived at the depot about
seven hundred students from easy
street surrounded the Kay county
journalists and stayed with them 'till
their train pulled out. If this gets
out .lore's chance for the governorship
will be wrecked. Tonkawu News.
The Truth About It.
Joseph S. Dunn, a resident of Jo-
hannesburg, lias an article on the
Transvaal in the Independent, which
deserves the very careful considera-
tion of American readers. The his-
torical sketcli with which it begins
says of the Boers that they are "as a
race with, of course, individual ex-
ceptions an extraordinary instance
of arrested civilization, the date of
stoppage being somewhere about the
conclusion of the seventeenth cen-
tury."
Since then t hero has even been a de-
generation from t lie standards of me-
dievalism, and now the new popula
tionin the Transvaal "progressive,
enlightened, full of enterprise, energy
and work," and constituting a large
majority of the total number of white
inhabitants, is held In cheek by the
"conservative, ignorant, stagnant''
minority which has "hopelessly failed
to master or comprehend'' Hie chang-
ed conditions. "The Hoer has simply
set his kick against the floodgates,
apparently oblivious or indifferent to
the fact that the hugely accumulat ing
forces behind must one day hurst ev-
er) barrier lie may choose to set up.
That la the whole Transvaal situa-
tion in a sentence."

Net* Anti- Trust Decisions.
The Illinois supreme court, with all
the judges concurring, rendered a de-
cision last week which ought to t«- a
death blow to all trusts, unless they
are invulnerable. The court decided
not only that any sort of corporation
which lias in view the control and
monopolization of ttie manufacture
or sale of a commodity is illegal, but
it went still farther and declared that,
no corporation organized in Illinois
can legally sell its property to an in-
dividual or corporat i< 01 when I he plain
purpose of the purchaser is to create
a monopoly,
A glucose manufacturing company
at I’coria sold its plant and good will
loan individual, who, in turn, trans-
ferred it to the Glucose Refilling com-
pany, a 40 million dollar New Jersey
corporat ion, owning half a dozen glu-
cose factories in the West, A stock-
holder of tlic I’coria company sued to
have the sale nullified, and the su-
preme court lias decided tlie suit in
his favor, ordering the circuit court
of lVoria to set aside the deed which
transfers the property of the I’coria
company to the big New Jersey cor-
poral ion.
Dallas, Texas, < >1 • t. i!7. The Court
of Civil Appeals in the Fifth Judicial
District to-day handed down an opin-
ion based on the State anti-trust law.
It is in the case of A. S. t lark, ap-
pellant. vs. Cyclone Woven Wire
Fence company, appellee. The court
holds, in an opinion by Judge ltook-
hout, that a contract granting to the
appellant the right tobiiildaud weave
wire fences in specified territory,
binding appellant to purchase wire,
etc., from appellees, was such a com-
bination of capital as is denounced h\
the statute against "trusts." The
opinion lias excited considerable at-
tent ion.
The: meanest man lias Ih-cii found,
lie sold his son-in-law a half interest
in a cow. After the sale he refused
to divide the milk, claiming that he
had only sold the front half. He also
required his son-in-law to feed and
water his half of the cow. One day
the cow hooked the old man, and then
he sued the son-in-law for damages.
At last accounts tin* suit was still
pending.
The land office at Alva has received
no instruction what soever concerning
