The Republicans are preparing for another rally on next Thursday evening , at which some prominent speaker will be present. Rev. Father Hickey of McCook celebrated high mass in the Catholic church at this place on Tuesday , returning home on No. 5 in the evening. Harry Coon , Bernard Hillers and VV. D. Gillette started overland for Idaho , on Thurs day morning. A good , stout , little pair of mules furnished the motive power. Messrs. Bayston and Smith of the present county capital , passed through town early in the week , having been in attendance of a Bryan-Watson-Sewall meeting at Bartley. R. P. High , candidate for representative , looked over the political field near the mouth of the Classic Coon , Wednesday and Thurs day of this week , and incidentally attended the Republican rally , Wednesday evening. J. S. Phillips journeyed to Hastings on Wed nesday and saw and listened to the old Gen erals that are making a tour of the west. He returned home a little stiffer in the faith for lots of good money.protection and reciprocity. James Caldwell of Lincoln delivered a mas terly address , on Wednesday night , at the Opera House. He spoke from a Republican standpoint. He had a crowded house that paid the closest attention. He is a plain , forceful speaker , convincing and logical. Rev. Sproll of this place assisted by a num ber of other priests , conducted the service this week known as the forty hours devotion. It was largely attended by Catholics for miles around. In point of numbers and faithful de votion , the Rev. Father regards the services as very successful. Johnny Welborn of the firm of R , T. Wel- born k. Son recently took a trip to the Pacific coast as many thought on a tour of observa tion. Johnny recently returned accompanied by abonnie bride. They will be at home to their friends at the parental residence in In- dianola after the 1st inst. John J. Lamborn and E. A. Sexson attended the senatorial convention at McCook. Also delegates Dolan , McCool and Gossard. The nomination of Mr. Allen for state senator seems to meet with general approval by the Republicans , the Populists apparently prefer- ing Mr. Rathbun , his opponent at the conven tion. The Republicans and Populists both had rousing rallies , Wednesday night , and seemed to vie with each other in point of numbers and attractive demonstration. The Republicans had the largest number ot voters in line with torches , estimated at about one-third more than the Populists. The Populists were enter tained by Uncle Johnny Powers after the marching. A gentleman from Omaha purchased a car of horses at this place , this week , from the farmers , the average price being about § 25 per horse. During Republican rule these horses would have been cheap at S75 to $100 each , but free trade , government bonds , and Popu- listic vagaries have prostrated the business of the country , until horses as well as other farm products are reduced from 100 to 200 per cent _ and still many of them want more free trade and cheaper horses and cattle and hogs.

There wiil be some more after a while , when the fall work is done. Some of the old farmers in western part of Gcrver went down to Fitch's school house to the speaking , last Tuesday night. Guess they had quite a good time. Tliey talked till after tw elve o'clock that night. The ladies of Pleasant Prairie Sunday school organized a Ladies' Aid society , last Tuesday evening , for the purpose of helping to raise money for the preacher and helping the Sun day school , fhey got sixteen members. y-.t- * . \0t fg _ r _ . ABOUT KAFIR CORN. Report from the United States Department of Agriculture. Like all other crops , Kafir corn yields best on rich land. It responds well to generous treatment. Its culture is not limited to soils of certain classes and qualities. It may be grown on stiff clays and on light sand , in river bottoms and on poor uplands , and it will yield profit able returns on soil too poor for corn Perhaps the strongest recommendation of Kafir corn lies in the facfthat it will produce a crop 011 less rain than is re quired for corn , and that it is not affected so disastrously by hot winds It is.there- tore , especially adapted to the semi-arid West , where corn succeeds only once in five or six years because of the hot winds and drouth. It is owing chiefly to this quality that its culture has spread so rapidly in Kansas and Oklahoma. Hot winds are the main cause of the failure of the corn crop in this region , and they are never more destructive than when they happen to come when the corn is tasseling. They cause the pollen to dry up , and the silk is not fertilized. Even with a sufficient rainfall , a few days of these withering blasts from the south west , in tasseling time , may reduce the yield of corn 50 per cent. Kafir corn is not affected in the same way. Fertiliza tion takes place more readily and the whole plant is better adapted to stand dry weather. The leaves are thicker-and coarser than corn leaves , and do not dry out so readily ; they are closer together and partly protect each other , and the plant is not so tall and , therefore , not so much exposed. When corn has once been stunted by drouth or hot winds , it never recovers. Not so with Kafir corn. It may remain stationary aiid curled for days and even weeks , but when the hot winds cease and rain comes , it will revive and , if not too late in the season , will still produce a crop of grain. While it can be grown to perfection in southern and middle latitudes , the north ern limit of its successful culture is as yet not well defined. In tests at the On tario Agricultural College , the season appeared to be too short for the grain to mature. Henry does not consider it suited to Wisconsin. The Michigan sta tion regards it as inferior to corn as for age. Possibly further trials may cause a revision of these opinions , but it will , nevertheless , be wisest for the farmers in the northern tier of states to grow it at first only 011 a small scale. The crop should be cultivated like sorghum ghum or corn. The weeds should be kept down from the start , using prefera bly a spring-toothed cultivator which will not throw the earth much , with fen ders attached while the plants are small to prevent covering them up. The roots are near the surface. Inves tigations at the Kansas station last sum mer showed that the roots reach out 4 to 6 feet literally in all directions and that most of them are from 2 to 6 inches from the surface. Deep culture is , therefore , a mistake , since it destroys a large portion tion of the feeders and to that extent weakens the plants. The surface soil should be kept mellow until the crop be gins to head , then cultivation should cease. If seeded about the middle of Maj * , the plants will head early in Au gust and the grain will be ripe about the middle of September. The crop should be cut and shocked as soon as the grain is ripe. English sparrows will damage it badly if they have a chance. Over ripeness also causes the white Kafir corn to swell when han dled. Unlike coru , all varieties have * he very desirable quality of remaining green after the grain matures until killed by frost. The fodder is , therefore , still in excellent condition when the corn ripens , and when cured will make better feed than if the plant had dried up as the corn plant does. The crop can be harvested in several ways. At the Kansas station itis cut with a sled cutter , which taker two rows at a time. The cutter is pulled by one horse and requires two attendants , one to care for each row. The crop is col lected in armfuls as cut , and shocked. Any good corncutter will do the work. It can of course , also be cut by hand if a machine is not available. A light , short crop may even be cut with a self-binder. Some growers use a header , collecting the heads only and leaving the fodder to be eaten off by stock. The header will cut off a large per cent of green leaves with the heads , which renders the cur ing of the latter , preparatory to the thrashing , more difficult. In that case , it is best to pile them with layers of dry straw to prevent heating. Grant Precinct Primary. There will be a primary meeting of the Republicans of Grant precinct on Tues- da } ' , October 6th , at 8 o'clock p. m. . central time , for the purpose of nominat ing precinct officers H. I. PETERSON , Committeeman. The Best of Hay. L. A. Colter has commenced baling hay , and is now prepared to fill an order for a ton or for 500 tons for that matter.

If the party that recently removed one of the wheels from my buggy will return I the same no questions will be asked. Otherwise legal proceedings will be com menced. H. M. CluTB. " " Which ?
