Bartels Made it Win.
Ed Bartels was In from his home on
routo 2 Saturday and while hero
renewed his subscription to the Her-
ald. Mr. Bartels informed us that
from 16 acres of broomcorn ho realized
1775 last year. In addition to this ho
threshed 1000 bushels of maize which
brought him all tho way from 80 cents
to $1.10 a hundred pounds. Tills means
about $700 more. Resides this ho has
had all the feed he has needed for Ids
own use. and will have plenty until
another crop is raised this fall. Mr.
Bartels is one farmer who is not feel-
ing disheartened over tho results of
his farming experience in Texas coun-
ty. He lias made money and there
dr$ )$lsof other good farmers who have
dona as well as he has. It is a demon-
strated fact that a farmer tan raise
maize hero every year and that it is
worth real money on the market from
last summer on. If he has a cow or
two he can with them and chickens
mahe a good living and some money.

Lyman Saveage who can think of a
whole lot of old time interesting oc
currences writes us from El I'aso an
account of an interesting old time
lli;lit over In tho east end of No Man's
Land in 1SS0 or 1887 Along in those
uarly davs there was little down in
horo that stood for law and order out-
tide a man's senso of a square deal
and some of tho senses wero badly
warped in more ways than one. Man)
in outlawought friendly shelter in
this section and it happens that a
couple of that class of humanity were
responsible at that time for this story
They located over in tlin east end close
to Gate City a postoflicc still doing
business ovur there. Onu of them wap
Kill Williams and tho other was Just
' Big Jim." Onu day as these two
huskies wero ruturuitig from one of
their regular sprees at Neutral City
they passed tho dugout of a settler
which property belonged to a man
named Ira Norton. Roth were feeling
just full and Just tough enough to
empty their six-shooters into the dug-
out. Norton happened to bo at home
end watched tle men as they rode
away. Tho more ho thought of the
matter the madder ho got. Ho had
no shot for his oil muzzle loading shot
gun so ho smashed up his old kitchen
kettlo into small slugs and loaded botli
barrels with this sort of lilting Ho
went to Gate City and there lay in
wait for tho villlans. Soon Bill Wil-
liams came out from tho saloon and
Norton pulled one barrel on him. The
old kettle parts put the fixing on Wil-
liams. The report of tho gun brought
Rig Jim out and Norton then pulled
down on Jim. Tho effects of the seo
ond barrel hit Big Jim tti tho shoulder
and almost fatally wounded him but
after weeks of suffering ho recovered
onough tn loavo tho country for parts
unknown. A few years afterward Ly-
man says ho was at Knglownod Kan
sas and called in to see Dr. Varden
the llrst practicing physician lit Engle-
wood and in the eastern end of No
Man's Land. After some conversation
with tho doctor Lyman w invited
into a rear room where the doctor said
ho had a friend of his in waiting. He
opened a box about six feet long and
then said: "Mr. Savage allow mo to
introduco to you Mr. Williams a form-
er resident of this mundane sphere
whom you knew while he was on earth "
All there was of Bill was his grinning
skull and skeleton. It seems the doc-
tor was soon to leave for his old home
In Raltlmoro and wishing ho had a
skeleton had made inquiry of some of
tho boys in thn east end with the result
that Bill's remains wero exhumed and
now likely grace some physician's
room Guyinuu Herald.

You may wonder why Cardul is so successful after
other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardul Is
successful because it is composed of scientific ingredients
that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine
for women and for women only. It builds strengthens and
restores weak and ailing women to health and happiness.
If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did take Cardui. It
will surely do for you what it did for her. At all druggists.

46000 Bills in Last Congress
In an Interesting article in tho March
Woman's Homo Companion entitled
"How Laws Aro Made" tho Vice Pres
ident of tho 'United States James S.
Sherman tells oxactly how tho mech
anism of legislation works at Washing
ton Ho goes on to say that in the last
session of Congress 415 000 bills wero
introduced. Wero Congress in session
300 days a year and working 0 hours a
day it could dovote only half an hour
to each of them measures. Where tho
avcrapo annual session is flvo months
and Congress sits Iobs than five hours
a day each bill could rcceivo but eight
minutes' consideration. Tho major
portion of this mass of bills Is of a prl-
vato nature relating to pensions and
claims against tho government but
there nre thousands of measures per-
taining to general subjects such as the
tariff and othor important matters.
It is obvious that this Immense num
ber of bills cannot bo considered indi
vidually Mr. Sherman says.
"It is in commltteo that most of tho
real work of law making is dono. De-
bate as a rule has little effect upon
tho fate of a measure. It is largely
tho froth of legislation; tho substanco
is tho work performed by the commit-
tee which has tho particular matter in
charge On political questions mem-
bers vote their party convictions or
arc supposed to do so while upon other
and non-political matters or those
which have no partisan slgniflcari'ce
they almost always follow tho recom-
mendations of the committees. Varia
tion from tliis practico Is tho excep
tion and not tho rule.
"In tho early days of our Republic a
member rose tn his place and formally
introduced Ills bill which was read by
title and appropriately referred to
committee. It was found however
by tho House with its large member.
ship that this practico consumed a
great amount of time and accomplish
ed no good purpose and years ago it
was abolished. Now when a member
of the House wishes to introduce a bill
he walks to tho clerk's desk at the dais
and drops it into a basket provided for
that purpose or ho calls a page to do
it for him. In the courso of tils routine
business the bill clerk records it and
it is automatically referred to tho
proper committee. As a matter of
record the Speaker refers tho bill to Its
committee but in actual practice this
reference is made by tho clerk to tho
Speaker's tablo who is unoflicially
known as tho parliamentarian of the
House."

On tho completion of tho Oklahoma

ment than at Flainviow. Tho year
