and was therefore 42 years.l 1 months and 29 days old. He came to Kansas iu 1870, where he lived uutil his death. He married Miss Ida Confer the 31 of August 1895, who survives him to mourn the loss of a husband. Mr. Appleton was a kind-hearted even-dispositioned man and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

During his long spell of suffering not a murmur escaped his lips. Silently nnd without a complaint he nwnited the inevitable, greeting his friends with a smile and, until strength refused to obey the will, a grasp of the hand. The funeral was preached by Rev. J. VV.

Knuti: "What in the world did that handful of Democrats do last Saturday in convention Ole: They nominated a ticket, of course, passed regulation resolutions, tacked on a 16 to 1 tail and adjourned. There were not enough Democrats, however, for the offices so they had to nominate a Swede for register of deeds, persumably because they recognized the necessity of getting a man who could read and write." Knuti: "Don't that beat you, how the Swedes got in demand so suddenly in this county.

The Republicans nominated Wes-ler Erickson a well qualified young man well fitted for register, whom all Scandinavians would gladly honor with their votes. At once it dawned upon a sainted brother in the Pop party who cares less for the Omaha trinity of reform than for self, with an eye singled to an increase of his own per capita ou a promise of deputy-ship, sprung Alquist on the Pop convention, which, for want of proper consideration, iu flagrant disregard of ability, fitness and justice, turned down Bill Eustace, the present deputy, nnd placed Alquist on their ticket." Ole: "That certainly is bad politics especially tor a party masquerading iu the name of reform, as Eustace, to my own knowledge, is both qualified and the best man for that office before the convention." Knuti: "The trouble was Mr. Eustace attended strictly to his official dutH-s and dwelt in the belief that the office should seek the man. not thinking that a mediator was a necessity and now Bill can say, in language of holy writ, too many pastors have destroyed my vinyard." Ole: "What a wonderful capacity the preacher has for running things his own way. for a time at least." Knuti: "You see the convention was hypnotized by the suggestion that fire must be fought with fire (or whip a Swede with a Swedel.

They lost sight of the fact that the Republicans had, by far, the best Swede and that in the contest they would be worsted, while the fire referred to only mennt the burning in the speaker to get even with Bill Eustace." Ole: "It's a deplorable fact that all efforts for reform are thwarted by fixers, schemers nnd unscrupulous demagogues who talk reform to cover their own sins, whose reform is not of the heart but of the mouth for revenue only. Justice will surely be meted out in due time. j'lie's Hog I will sell at my farm six and a half miles west, of Clay Center, four nnd one-half miles northeast of Idana and six nnd a half miles southwest of Morganville Thursday, October 17, nt, 1 o'clock p. in. seventy-five head of hogs as follows: Fifty-five head of March, April and May-pure bred Poland China pigs, many of whicli nre very fine.

IMue anil Gray. A number of Federal veterans from the G. A. K. encampment at Louisville visited the battlefield of Franklin last Friday nnd Saturday, Not a few of them formed gen ial companionship with resident Confederates, nnd while near the Carter residence one soldier was describing how, while he was loading his gun, a grape shot had come along and cut off the barrel a few inches from the end and he had then thrown it down as useless.

He described the gun minutely. Moscow Carter heard the recital and immediately recognized the discarded rifle as being one which his father had found at that identical place the morning after the battle and wlr'ch was upstairs in the Carter homestead in a pile of relics. He immediately got it and gave it to its former owner whose appre ciation of his old battered, rusty comrade may be imagined. Franklin, Re view Appeal. The Moscow Carter referred to iu the foregoing is the father of W.

F. and II. E. Carter, of this city, aud who made his sons a visit a year or two ago. The battle of Franklin was fought on the Carter home stead and the gun was found by the grand father of the Carters here.

It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughts and colds. Free trial bottles at Fnilington Held's drug store. Regular So size cents and $1. Col. J.

II. Choate was beaten in his suit against W. H. L. Peppereli Rt Concordia, but he made a speech to the justice court and the few spectators denouncing Tom Dolau as the "Judas Iscariot" who had betrayed him in the postoflice fight here.

All the parties agreed on the fact that the colonel had relinquished his claim to the postoflice here for paid by Mr. Oher. The colonel maintained that this was not the full amount of his expense and that, the $50 note from Peppereli was not included in the expense repaid by the postoflice settlement. Hi3 expense was partly made up of contributions to the Populist campaign in He testified to paying $10o to poor man" of Washington for political services, but refused to state who it was. An open statement as to who the poor man was might solve some political mysteries in this county.

Washington Register. Excellent advice by Ed. Hoch to Kansas farmers: "There have never been twelve consecutive months here in which corn did not some time during the year bring at least 25 cents per bushel, and generally more than that. And there have been no three consecutive years, we think, in which it did not, some time during that period, bring 50 cents. Don't give your corn away farmers.

Don't sell it for less than 25 cents unless you are compelled to do so. And don't sell it for much less than that sum under any circumstances. Crib it and borrow money on it, rather than tak less than 20 cents." Soldiers' reunion at Clay Center, October 8, 9, 10. Dick Blue, Gov. Felt, Jack Harris.

K. I'synr, of Manhattan, 'Writes From a Practical Stamlpoiut. We dislike to see weeds growing even in waste places. But, in the economy of nature, weeds may be necessary and even very useful to man. The rough frontiersman who always moved west when he heard the report of his neighbor's rifle was not looked upon as very beneficial to society, but he penetrated the wilds and fitted them for the people that followed him.

During the past year I have done a great deal of digging to investigate the root development of plants. I have often found the tender roots of young plants following the track of rotten weed roots. Last spring, I found, during a dry time, oat roots following old wheat roots. Some weed have roots that pierce the hard clay and go several feet deep. These, when cut off at the top, die and leave the roots to decay.

One of this kind was found last spring followed through "hard-pan" by-alfalfa which did not penetrate the hard-pan to any great extent where they had no roots to follow. Alfalfa has earned the name silent subsoiler," but some of our common weeds do subsoiling where alfalfa will not grow without nursing. A common weed belonging to the nightshade family sends its roots down several feet even in the stiffest clay subsoils. The roots of plants push their way between particles of soil, and when the plants die the roots decay in the soil, leaving organic matter as deep as they have grown. Air goes down the holes made by the roots aud aids in decomposing the chemicnl compounds found there, setting some free for the use of other plants.

By the decay of the roots, acids are formed which aid in changing the soil. The native prairie grasses seem better adapted to our climate than any grasses which have been introduced. When we consider the fact that every tame grass now used was once wild, and that it required much labor and patience to gather the seed, we should feel encouraged in trying to cultivate some of the choice wild grasses of our state. There is more grass seed ou the prairies now than I have seen for years. Now is the time to collect seed for use next year.

It is very little labor to collect enough to seed a small plat of each of the more promising grasses iu the neighborhood. All the good tame grasses are due to the enterprise of men who had sufficient foresight to choose seed carefully, plant it aud keep the variety pure until its value was recognized. Look about and see if there is not some grass in your neighborhood which is worthy of trial. The large farm on which help must be hired, too often loses the characteristics of a home. The house becomes a boarding-house while the remainder of the premises is place of business." What does the farmer live for? Will he always be able to run things that way Will his wife alwnys be able to keep the boarding-house in order aud raise poultry for "pin money" besides? Will the driviug, pushing life on a large farm of this kind attract the boy who grows up there? Will the daughters of the family want to marry and take charge of similar "country hotels?" Is the large farmer an independent irmer? Turn from this and look at the farm which has been improved by the farmer and his family alone.

The man who has not tried to get rich farming by hiring a hand for 75 cents and making him do worth of work and doing $2.50 worth of work himself while trying to make the hand earn his wages." The small farmer is not dependent upon even a hired hand. His work may be planned so that he has employment the year round, and his farm is so planned that he can do the work with the least labor. Which of these farmers really makes the more? The man who has his lots, bams aud granaries placed conveniently find the care of stock a comparatively light task when compared with the same work done where buildings are scattered and disconnected. Convenient arrangement of buildings costs more care nnd thought in planning, but they may cost less cash than inconvenient ones. If you are inteuding to build a barn or plan a farm call up in your uiind all the well-planned barns and farms you know, and consider them.

Visit the owners of some of the best planned farms aud get as many ideas as you can. Then with a knowledge of your own needs, you can plan intelligently. The farmer who has no shelter for his stock nnd who has no money to pay for lumber with which to make sheds for his cattle can make a cow shed of corn stalks by using a few poles. Such a shelter will save a large amount of feed, and is within the means of every farmer who has stock. The increased comfort there is iu feeding cattle under shelter is worth all the labor which such a structure will cost.

Hay-sheds built entirely of spoiled hay have been used in many places. These cheap shelters are much more satisfactory, in he long run, than the elegant stables which must be built with money borrowed at SB per cent, interest. Some creameries in Europe make a business of sterilizing milk, freezing it into lumps of convenient size and then shipping it to London nnd other large cities. Choice frozen milk brings fancy prices in European cities. If some of our creameries would add ice factories, for the purpose of freezing milk, t'aey might do better than they do by producing only butter and cheese.

In some of the eastern states, men who use wide tired wagons are allowed a rebate on their road tax. They claim that the wde tire improves the roads while the narrow tires injure them. The low price of potatoes which is likely to rule during the present season causes some to wonder what can be done with the crop of culls on hand. Cattle and hogs can be taught to eat potatoes, and nil culls as well as the good ones left over, can be used on the farm during the winter as food for stock. When no green feed is nt hand, an occasional feed of potatoes will be an agreeable feed for stock, and potatoes used in this way will bring more than the net market price promises to be.

We lived at Junction City during the great boom and we often marveled nt the wonderful things neighboring towns were doing. Abilene probably suffered as much as any city in Kansas in the depreciation of property after the boom. The Reflector publishes the result of the sale of an estate which makes a startling revelation to the depreciation of values. Lots appraised in 1HSSI at sold for $1.25. Ten lots appraised nt $iMiO sold for $40; another lot sold for $27.

A piece of ground divided into lots 40x140 appraised at $75 per lot sold for $22.50 per acre, or about per lot. Junction City never built a house until it was needed, and did not attempt to boom adjacent land at fabulous figures, so that no one was ruined, and not a single man in the town had a sack to hold. The result is it is the thriftiest and sturdiest-town in Kansas. K. C.

To the Editor of The Times: The wife of a Workman, the mother of his children, can never truly appreciate the aims and purposes of the Ancient Order of I'nited Workmen until she has been bidden to stand at the husband's grave.

Every day the practical philanthropy of the order gladdens the homes of the widowed and fatherless, and I wish to express my appreciation for the many acts of kindness of the brotherhood here nnd the substant jal aid that the order has sent through Clay Center lodge No. 22:5, to gladden and lighten my heart.

.1. K. SCOTT iiiT TMr.i litri JDS. I.AWTON Tiik early fro-t InM Tuesday somehow thoughts of the eRrly death of the l'n party inthi- county. Kvi hv henlthy man loves to see KooJ lilht, and we hope to see Corl.ett and Fitz--iiiiinoiiS Burton and Inalls to a finish.

that winter is cominn it would he well for people to take good care of themselves: a funeral in winter is so Tukkk are a whole lot of nice tfirls in this town who have never se-n the sun rise: if it cost "anything they would have long a'O. In rut general downfall of prices and the wrecks attending hard times, how does it happen thHt a harher-shop shine still is ten cents? Wf wonder if the pa-t ten days were the ides of September. That is tie only hit of Kansas weather we have never surely located. An Oklahoma hank ran for ten days on cash, hut a ruthless money power organized a run on the institution and it collapsed. A vol no man wants to find out tor himself how many thorns grow around forhid-deii fruit: and old men might as well stop preaching.

Voi' may think you have lots of friends, l.ut, just catch the small-pox once and see who will care for you. Not a soul other than wife, mother or sister An old man mentions it. that some things are arranged about right in this life. For instance, corns and bunions come after a man is too old to dance. Tiik ticket nominated by the Republicans this year is good enough for any Republican, and just now vrli'le the subject is in mind, it Is good enough for anyone, else.

iwi iisMLY to the size of the party iu Clay county is the size of the platform. The Democrats u-e more words than even the Prohibitionists, and they mean about as much. On of the I'opulist. candidates warns Tiik Timkh tii-it it is hurting the Republican chances for success by showing up the ring rule of the Pops. Now, dout that sound funny I.oko Di'nbatin was introduced to Geo.

Martin, of Kansas City, years ago and now the latter gives the former a certificate of good character which will go wherever a yot can sail in Kansas. This paper feels like supporting the last end of the Democratic platform where it says: We are in favor of the building of a suitable court house in Clay That is practical, sensible and bold. Kmi.uom) J.U. LowF. has the strength of the Democratic party sized up.

He says "the party is not very strong but if it ever holds another convention it will be strong enough to elect a new central committee. Ci.at conntynow has four complete tickets in the field. Where is that noble band of Spartan women known ns suffragists? They should nominate a ticket nud adopt resolutions, otherwise they are not the up-to-date daisies their fall bonnets would indicate. W. II.

Smith, of Marysville, who is almost all old soldier, kicks because at the Salina reunion there is Burton day, Peffer day and lngalls day and neither of these gentlemen were soldiers enough to hurt friend or foe. How would Smith day, and Smith day, and Smith day do? A law suit started out in Barber county some ten or twel.ve years since over the damage done by one farmer's plug ponyt breaking intoanother farmer's field. The suit has been iu court ever since and the costs now amount to over $1,000. Such are the luxuries of the law. I is violating no confidence when we give it away thatthe Democrats are going to vote their own ticket this fall, to the eud that they may show the Pops that it is only in union that the plums are picked.

Then next fall they will fuse and the wily Democrats will claim nnd have two plaets on the ticket. Scifnck is finding prehistoric animals nud the specimens are all smaller than are the same species today. Science is also proving that man is growing smaller generation by generation. Is it possible that we are on the road back to the protoplasm and the plasm Who cares, anyway In a speech delivered at Norton recently ex-Senator lngalls declared for silver as it was before He said: "I want to say that it is my opinion that the way to secure a permanent and wholly reliable currency is to recur to the system of bimetallism wkich was our financial policy before and which is provided for by the constitution of the United States of America." Inasmi'cu as it seems a foregone conclusion that either Dr. Scott or Dr.

Stewart will be the next coroner of Clay connty. And inasmuch a little further-, they are now fused and do, without a political blush, pool their earnings, therefore it is resolved, that the tickets be printed after thin manner and style: Ten thousand 4 for coroner, Scott 4 Stewart and one thousand for coroner, Stewart Scott." Thus may they pool on all issuer, dead and alive. A 8ACBIHGIOUS son of Belial, who has cuffered from bronchitis, having exhausted hla finances, in order to make good the deficit resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docile yoxxng lady of the Valay or Caucasian raca. Bm 'WW' WCTgisTamrigijaa and mighty purpose of telling a lie when ever it will hnrt a Republican candidate, even thoughtaking grave chances on be-ing caught. Of course the object in the above piece of meanness is to throw discredit on Wesley Erickson.

But note now. It was in that Wesley run, not iu 1812 as stated. Neither Smith nor Lewelliug nor Pickering rnn in It was an off year. The average Republican vote on the live county offices was 1-5 votes. Erickson received thirty-four, so that he was not very much behind his ticket after all.

The Dispatch is getting desperate even so early iu the fight. INNIIIK I'OI'l'LIST The Pop voters out in the country really know so little of what their bosses in town are doing and decreeing that Tiik Tim ks in its glorious mission of enlight-inent undertakes to give them a few pointers. This is necessary because of the general stupidity of the gang organ, the Dispatch. The owner thereof is too dull for any use and must needs keep washing rollers; Dorn is a Republican; Hemphill an honest novice who wouldn't know a trick if lie saw it in the road with its head in the sand; Vincent keeps writing. and writing and working the country voter to the profit of the gang.

By the way, the country Pop voter is a (jneer combination of persistent but perverted good intent. He is constitutionally opposedto ring rule, but is now, after only five years, the victim of the worst lot of shameless tricksters that ever operateil in Clay county. Probably the ring iu his nose won't shake loose. However, to drift back to the ring-tailed roarer, the Dispatch; just think of it, Vincent is the only man who has ever profited by it, and the debt has never decreased. No man ever got so much out of a newspaper and paid so little therfor as Vincent, and the owner gets the county printing -sometimes, and is afraid to assert his rights.

This is why The Timfs must tell the country Pops the town Pops' doings. Watts, Vincent, Newman, McCormick and Hanna are the big four and a half of the gang.but the two latter have quarreled, rumor says, and one or the other must go. Newman fought Moran on the theory that whatever happened he must be downed. There is talk of bringing Moran out as an independent candidate for commissioner. It is further decreed that Judge Ryan is to be Judge Ryan again next year.

And Will Eustace, who feels that the gang played fast and loose with him, is being talked of as an independent candidate for register by his friends in the south part of the county. Religion is a thing that money can buy, or at least preaching is, and the gang has decided that the gullible Pop voter must take care of Brother Bledsoe. In all probability the brother will be candidate for superintendent of schools next fall, iu the meantime deputy register of deeds is good enough. John Smith was crowded out of the deputy county clerkship so ns to make room for Brother-in-law Strasser, who, in turn, was to be the gang candidate for connty clerk but well, in short, that move was a mistake. Jake Marty is to be the gang candidate for representative next fall it is decreed.

You hay-seeds, yon horny muled sons of toil, what are you doing here," and what are you going to do about it Vincent is to be a candidate for governor next year, nnd in the event of an election, McCormick is to lie railroad commissioner. In the words of Jim Iane, great God! Every contract before the commissioners last January was let to the lowest bidder, the lowest bidder being in every instance but one, a Pop. This one instauce was on county printing and Mr. Moran voted to let it to the lowest bidder. This man happened to be a Republican nnd for that little act the town gang decreed the defeat of Mr.

Moran, and he was defeated. The poor little proprietor of the Dispatch counted on this plum as an offset. Vincent's people are now trying to gain votes for the ticket by claiming that their people were knocked down and the opposition elevated in the convention, but "yon hay-seeds nre not to be cnught with such chaff any more. Every man the gang wanted got, there. THE IICKKT.

Look it over as it appears in another place in our columns, and tell us what you think about. It is a clean ticket, isn't it? It is a safe ticket from top to bottom, isn't it? It is a ticket of law abiding nnd law-enforcing men, isn't it It is a ticket of clean, honorable men, isn't it? It is a ticket of straight-up-and-down business men, isn't it It is a ticket that will stand np for the good name of Clay county, isn't it It is a ticket that means good management, progress and prosperity, isn't it Then stand np for it; work for it; vote for it, even if your first choice is not on it. So shall it be a winner at the polls next November, and you be proud of your part in making it such. The trouble with some men's advertising," says Printer's Ink, is that they try it as the Indian tried feathers. lie took one feather, laid it on a board and slept on it all night.

In the morning he remarked: White man says feathers heap soft; white man Dr. Fraker is to be tried on the charge of obtaining life insurance money under false pretenses. If that don't stick the insurance companies will try him for being dead nnder false pretenses. Minneapolis Messenger.
