THE DEVIL'S SOLILOQUY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEETING The Republican Central Committee WILLIAM MCCOY DEAD Nortonville suftured an inestimable loss last week in the death oforitfiP its most honored and best beloved citizens, Wm. McCoy.

Mr. McCoy was boro in Harrison County, Ohio, Octoter 6, 1838, and died at his home in Nortonville October 2, 1012. Had he lived until the following Sunday he would have been seventy-four years of age. On November 8, 1859, he was married to Miss Tirzah Borland, and to this union six children, five sons and one daughter, were born. During the civil war Mr.

McCoy was a member of the Q.Jth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. In the year of 18G8 he Cflmn to Kansas, and the follo-ving spring to fatten a thousand steers, and yet the seed corn oonditions in Kan-sat were better than in any other western state. The farmer who will select bit tetd from standing atalkt will have opportunity to determine somewhat of the yielding quality of teed, somewhat of the strength of stalk and roots. The big ear on a ttalk standing alone with no stalks near it not a good teed ear because it big because of unequal soil help. A good ear growing on a stalk surrounded by good ttalkt will furnish safer teed.

Every argument in favor of selecting teed corn from the field in early fall can be used in favor of September selection of teed of ail the sorghums, broom corn, kaf-flr, milo and also saccharine sorgsum. No one will ever get a uniform ripening of any sorghum until he selects from the field uniform ripening beads. We should get together in a big concerted movement this fall for selecting sorghum seed early. I am going to ask each of the 380 farmers institutes in Kansas to get behind the movement and to get the names oi members who will this year select from the Held before the last of September uniform ripened heads of kallir, milo and sweet sorghums, and ten days be of Jefferson county met in regular session at Oskaloosa Monday, made AUTUMN.

Here's a hard luck storty out of the One night as the devil sat musing alone In the midst of his cozy warm fire, And trying to figure the difference in guilt Tween a thief and an all around liar, His memory turned to scenes of his youth, Aad his eyes filled with hot, boiling tears. So he took down his ledger and turned to a page Dated back about six thousand years. "I suppose," he said, as he glanced through, the book "I am doing the best that I can, For my business denotes a continual increase Ever since the creation of man.

I've cribbed a good harvest for six thousand years And should be content with the yield, And give my opponent permission to have The gleanings I leave In the field. "I gather a very diversified crop Of merchants and lawyers galore; I've bound politicians in bundles until Every one of my fingers are sore, I've fiddlers, gamblers and insurance men, I've murderers, forgers and liars, And I've filled up the furnace with green Fopn lists Till they actually put out the fires. I've railroad conductors and doctors to spare, Horse traders and preachers to spend, Republicans, Democrats, Tories and Whigs, And two or three newspaper men.

"I refer to that thing, neither human or beast, The carrion crow of the world, Who is never happy unless he can feast On the wreck of an innocent girL A million of years in my warmest of rooms His slander would never atone, Bo I give him a match and advise him to start A select little hell of his own." With his fingers he lit an asbestos cigar, And placing his book on the shelf, He muttered, "I may be a very bad man But I've got some respect for myself." Author Unknown.

The threat of the Bull Moose faction to bolt was in keeping with the action of the chief Mooser himself who bolted at Chicago and has ever since been on the stump denouncing republicanism.

There are voters in the county who are Inclined to think that Republicans and Bull Moosers might as well come (o the parting of tha way first as last. The contention narrows dowa to Taft and Roosevelt. Taft Is a republican and suppoitlng republican measures, Roosevelt has denounced all allegiance to republicanism and is fighting republican principles. At his recent speech in New Orleaas In referring to the Bull Moose movement Mr. Roosevelt said: i "This is a new par-j iv, with do connection ith the old Republican Party or the old Democratic Party.
