Some years ago an agitation was begun for^the abolitionUm German ritual, and it was sueigfill ia 1992, when, at a session the supreme lodge in Kansas Mo., it was voted to do with the German ritual. the feeling aroused the German members by this that early in 1994 Mr. Kieeand other Germaus started an organization known as the Improved Order Knights of Pythias, la it the ritual was to be in German, it the Members so desired, and other minor liberties were to be allowed which would not be had in the parent organliou. Mr. Klee was made the past •me chancellor of the new order, it he retained bis membership in the Idginal knights. At the nest state lodge meeting of th« older Society Mr. Bedell, as grand cshancelloc, brought charges against Hr. Klee. After prolonged consideration the lodge found Mr. Klee guilty t some of the charges, and sentenced Aim to suspension for three months. This punishment did not seem sufficient to the prosecutors, and on the evidence that had been submitted to the state lodge and additional facts that were presented by Hr. Bedell, the sentence of the lodge was overturned and expulsion was decided upon. The original order numbers about 500.000. What proportion of them will support Mr. Klee is not known. The decision promises to lead to serious troubles in the original society. SIR ISAAC PITMAN. Death ef the Tether of the System ot Stenography Hraxtos Hi> Name. * Los IK) s.

FARM AM) GARDEN. THIS tS GOOD HEWS. |f Ttm» WUl Make th« Ftracn tli* WmI Independently Kick Prof. Gibbs made the speech of the evening, which was the reason for the gathering, at a dinner given to western senators and representatives by Messrs. Cramp, of Philadelphia. If half he said was true an industry is opening up to the corn-growing region of this country which seems more like a vision than the belief and utterance of scientific experts and far-sighted business men. The cornstalks would soon be as valuable, if not more so, to the farmer than the corn itself. The pith has been discovered to be more valuable than any other substance for protecting the sides of battleships from inrushing water j after being struck by shells. To-day ; the best of that padding is made from j cocoa nut fiber imported at large cost, j Messrs. Cramp, proprietors of the iarg- | est private ship-building plant in this j country, have pronounced in favor of j the cornstalk pith, both for serv ice and 1 cheapness. They believe that in a few I I years all the battle ships of the world will be protected by this pith condensed ; into a sufficient hardness. Its manufae- [ | ture into protective pads is being per- j fected by actual experiments. Prof. ; ! Gibbs further says that from the fiber j smokeless powder can be made at a cost of 15 cents per pound, while that j | which the government now uses costs I several dollars for a like quantity. A ; ; beautiful lacquer, waterproof and hard, can also be made from the’'stalk. Oelluk>id. too. It is claimed, can be manufactured cheaper than from other substances. With the pith drawn out the stalk can be ground with other preparations into a fodder so cheap it would be '■ within the reach of everyone and upon | which cattle would thrive. I Better, finer and cheaper sugar. Prof. j j Gibbs says, can be made from it than from the cane of Louisiana. He further j stated that when these facts became j known and plants started, the farmer } •would receive at least $2.50 per ton tor his cornstalks, which he is now some .times at an expense to get rid of. He thinks ten dollars per acre would be j paid for the stalks after the farmer had j received about a similar price for the corn, thus doubling the value of the corn crop.—Chicago Inter Ocean. SIPHONING WATER. Method tortiettinc > Snppiy foe Irrifitior or liailuins, Siphoning water is one of the simples* i methods of getting a supply for irriga- ; item or building. Where there is a body o’ water above the buildings, but separated from them bv such a height of t ground or ridge that water will not naturally flow through a pipe from the supply to the source of consumption, it is often possible to use a siphon. A siphon consists of a tube bent at a point nearer one end than at the other, giv- ;

LIVE STOCK POINTERS. A good stock farm should be a good grass farm. Put every part «f -the farm to wm profitable use. ▲ stunted animal will affect the profit j of its futuge feeding. There is no profit in the average crop. j Now is the time to plan to do better. j Keep charcoal or wood ashes and salt where the hogs own help themselves, it wail help maintain health. One serious objection to the feeding of old and young stock together is that the older will crowd assay the younger. Do Mt keep old ewes. It is a better plan tn atop breeding them when they get old. fatten them well and sell them for mutton.—Farmers* Union. ■v The general custom of farmers is to go to town with an empty wagon and aeturn with a load of something that in nine eases out of ten they could have grown on their own farm.

ABOUT HOG TROUGHS. Bnr to X>kt Some That Are Certain ta tiire Satufactloo. The customary V-shaped hog trough is probably the most practical, cheapest and easiest made device for the purpose. and with few changes can be made much more convenient than the narrow little spout which we find on many farms. The trough of our illustration, Fig. 1, is made of two two-inch oak planks: the one on the side from which the hogs feed is eight inches wide, and the other anywhere from 15 inches upward —the wider the better. The end pieces are also two-inch plank, and to fit the whole trough tightly between the sides of the pen the wide plank should be

SENSIBLE HOG TROUGH. notched so that the upper part is just even with the outside of the end pieces i (see a, a). A wide board is fastened by means of a couple of cleats (b, b) | tacked to the sides of the pen in a slantingr position, as shown in the cut. In a large pen it would be better to use a two-inch plank foe the latter. The advantages of such a trough are these: The narrow spout is here changed into an opening the whole length of the trough, enabling the j feeder to scatter the feed to aecom- j iuodate any number of hogs. This is especially convenient when feeding apple*, potatoes, corn or any other kind j of grain: it prevents all fighting, pushing and jamming to see which can get nearest to the spout when being fed. The slanting board (c) prevents hogs from climbing into the trough, and, while it does not interfere or infringe upon the space of the pen, it makes the feeding alley roomier, which is quite an item in a building of limited size. In emptying the pail, this slant’S a great advantage; it allows the pail to i be turned almost bottom side up, as can be seen by the cross section. Fig. 2. The trough itself is all that is needed for a partition: it can be easily moved in either direction, and a nail or two i driven through each side of the pen into the end pieces will hold it securely in it» place wherever it is desired. Another important point about a hog- j pen. but one which is generally neglected, is a bridge or easy passageway tram the pen to the yard. For the : health and comfort of the stock it is \ necessary to give them free access to | pure air and a chance to keep the pen clean. A small yard is sufficient for this, and the bridge should be level w ith the pen floor, of easy grade and slatted or otherwise rigged to preveut hogs from slipping when passing in or out.—G. C. Grenier, in Farm and Fireside. |

BEEF TRUST METHODS. AflakjMt In VUck Ftrmrn Should B«* | Dwplj Interested. The claim made in mitigation of the j offenses of certain trusts that they tend | *o cheapen the prices of the products j that they handle does not apply to the ! beef trust, at any rate, and it is one of | thf worst in the country, says the j St. Louis Globe Democrat. It does not j help anybody in any way except the capitalists of Whom it is composed. | The methods by which it operates are ; directly opposed to the interests of both producers and consumers. It fixes the ; prices at which live steers sell, pushing them down to actual cost or less, ! and dictates the prices at which dressed | beef sells, forcing them up to the highest notch. The law of supply and demand does not cut any figure in its proceedings. Its prices are adjusted without the least regard to the numWr of cattle raised or the prevailing rate of consumption The eattle raiser is obliged to take what it prescribes, because it also controls the sales to retail dealers, and is able to shut out competition. In many cases dealers , have been forbidden to handle any other beef than that furnished by the j trust, under penalty of having new | stores started to run them out of busi- ; ness. It is hard to believe that an organization which thus perpetrates a j a rung on the producer, the retailer | and the consumer, cannot be reached l with the anti-trust law. Several attempts have been made to secure action ' against it in the federal courts, but they have all failed. Somehow it is always , impossible to obtain the necessary wit- i prases, or, if the witnesses are found, j the ingenious lawyers of the trust make j their testimony useless by pointing out i some alleged defect in the law or in the j court records. The processes by which 1 the mischievous work of the trust is accomplished are largely of a secret nature, to be sure, and hence difficult to trace and expose: but there is reason to believe, nevertheless, that the task caa be performed if men of proper ability and integrity shall undertake it. As the matter tow stands, (he trust practically has things all its own way. It nrkes the price on the cattle, hogs and ibeep of all the farmers, and the price >f meats at all points where its refrigerator cars are unloaded. This is i situation which ftrgent!y*ealls for a remedy of some kind. If the present inti-trust law Is not equal to the emergency, then a new one should be passed hat will be effective. The matter is »ne that concerns all classes of people t a positive and serious way. and it rill not do to say that such an evil is me that the government is powerless odcal with.

Peaceful Slumbar Unknown. Dreadful Dreams Drive Sleep Away. Bight lean ft Lady of Emporia, Kan—. Suffers Ins pea table Agony—She Relates Her Experience. From tho Republican, Emporia, Bait Mrs. Jennie Ctrlow resides at 713 Merchant Street, Emporia, Kansas, and is the wife of W. R. Carlovr, proprietor of the Carlow Wagon and Blacksmith Works; who is so well known as the ‘"Past Graffd” and as one of the most active members in Eodge 15, L O. O. F., of Emporia. The distress of a condition of chronic sleeplessness is so terrible, Mrs. Carlow’s sufferings from it so well known, oar readers we feel sure, will welcome the good news that she is now well, and will be glad to know how the cure was accomplished. Mrs. Carlow’s statement is hereto ap- : pended in narrative form: •“For many years I was a confirmed invalid, suffering constant pains through my> breast and back, of the most excruciating type, rendering me absolutely helnless. 1 i was unable to rise np or lie down, without | assistance, and was subject on the least ex-. ertion to flutterings of the heart and such shortness of breath, or dyspnoea, that I often thought I was dying. uPeaceful slumber was unknown to met 1 would fall into a doze only to be awakened 1 by the most horrible dreams, of too fright- ’ fid a character to describe, and in the morning instead of being refreshed and rested, I would be utterly exhausted. *T was attended at various times by every physic an in the city, bat none of them could do me any good, though I spent bun- ; drools of dollars in my quest of health. ! About three months ago, Mrs. Elizabeth Drake, whom you perhaps know, spoke to my husband advising a trial of Dr. WU- . Hums’ Pink Pills for Pale People, stating ' that they bad permanently cured her after ! years of suffering from milk leg, and he at once procured a supply for me. ‘ By the time I had taken two boxes according to directions, for the first tune ijn two years, I was able to enjoy peaceful and restful sleep, and as 1 continued to take them my health improved, so that now 1 while using the fifth box, I feel quite recovered and my health is entirely restored. : I still take two pills every night just before retiring, and wake up every morning perfectly happy. “I advise every one whom I hear complaining to try I>r Williams’ Pink Pills, for although I recognize the fact that medicine that w ill cure one, will not another, still as most diseases are due to a bad condition of the blood. Piuk Pills in such cases will Frove a certain cure. It is but natural that ■ should have the most unbounded faith in them. I am only too glad to bear testimony through your paper as to what they have done for me.” • j The above is an exact report of Mrs. Carlow’s statement. Charles Harris, (Signed) Reporter, Emporia.

DO NOT FAVOR ▲ DEDUCTION. In the matter of the communication of the ; Secretary of the State Grange of Illinois , dated January 1st, 1897, embodying a resolution of that body adopted at its December meeting, 1896, asking the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners to reduce the passenger rate from three cents to two cents per mile. The Commission is of the opinion that to do so at this time would be unwise and unwarranted and would be unjust to the railroad interest of the state. While some of: the great Trunk Lines in Illinois might be able to stand such a reduction, yet the smaller roads and those which do almost wholly a local business, and which are now and bare been for the last two years struggling for existence, would be most seriously affected by it. Such action on our part would simply increase the heavy burdens under which they are staggering now. It is a well known fact to those who have taken the trouble to investigate the amount of passenger business done by the railroads in Illinois during the past two years that there has been a large decrease in the number of passengers carried. This is due in oar judgment nut to the amount charged for such service but to i the general depression in all lines of busi ! ness, the low prices of farm products and , the unsettled financial conditions which have i had their effect on the passenger as well as the freight business And it is also a fact, as shown by toe sworn reports of thq railroads of Hindis, that the capital Invested in such property has not paid evqo & fair interest to the stxkholuer. This Question was before us when we revised the freight schedule in 1885 and the whole question was thoroughly considered. We aid not th ink then and uei therdo we feel uow that in justice to both the public and the railroads, because each should stand on ihe same equality before t' e law, this reduction shouldbe made at this time. If the country was prosperous our conclusions might be different. The statistics in our office show that for the past three years, 1894, 1885 and 1896, the average amount charged by the railroads per passenger mile is a fraction above two cents, although the maximum allowed them was three cents. f For the reasons above stated we do not ffeel that this reduction should be made at . this time. We are also asked to recommend this reduction to the Legislature. In view of our con fusion we ao not feel that it would be consistent for ns to do so; however, the Legislature has the power t > regulate toe maximum rate which can be charged for passenger service and we l^eave the matter to their wisdom.
