(KM), (MX) worth of American flour went to the Orient last year, an increase of $2- 000,000 since 1898? most of it for China, Japan and Asiatic Russia. Uncle Sam has two good stepping stones to Orien­ tal trade, one at Honolulu and the other at Manila. s / " VALUE OF A COW. ' The American cow has been feeling the effect of the good times, and has come in for a share of the prosperity that now exists in every corner of our country. Note the following figures of the total value of all cows in the United States, and the average value of each, as shown by the department of agri­ culture at Washington: ^ Jan. 1. Total Value.

Less milk was bought when our factories were closed. But busy factories mean money to spend and more milk for the family; so the fanners' cows are worth more under the protection v of the DingJey tariff, which gives the home market to the home worker. A difference of $10 in the value of each cow, between free trade and protection times, is an "ob­ ject lesson" for the farmer. NOMINATIONS AT PEORIA. Governor--Richard Yates of Morgan county. Lieutenant-Governor--W. A. North- cott of Bond. Secretary of State--J.ames A. Rose of Pope. Auditor of State--J. S. McCuIlough of Champaign. . Treasurer--M- O. Williamson of Knox. Attorney General--H. J. Hamlin of Shelby. Trustees of State University--Mrs. Carrie Thomas Alexander of St. Clair, Samuel A. Bulard of Sangamon, Alexan­ der McClean of McDonough. Electors-at-Large--John H. Herbert of Jackson, H. D. Pierce of Cook. Delegates-at-Large to the National Convention--Joseph G. Cannon of Ver- ipillion; John J.- Brown, of Fayette; lELale D. Judson of Kane; John M. Smyth of Cook. With the nomination of Richard Yates by the Republicans of Illinois yesterday history was true to its tradi­ tions. Forty years ago yesterday his father, bearing the same name, was nominated for the same office by the same party and on the same ballot. The ticket was constructed after an exciting contest. The result on the governorship was secured only when the delegates who had supported Judge Hanecy deserted their candidate and rallied around Mr, Yates. The Carter votes went to Reeves, but they were too few in number. The' nomination of a candidate for governor was the occasion of a sensa­ tional scene such as seldom has been equaled in the history of political cam­ paigns in America. THE horseless carriage appears to be gaining on the horse. ST. HELENA is a resort for great men who oppose England. x CONGRESS has passed the appropria­ tion for the distribution of free seeds and has increased the appropriation for farmers' bulletins from $85,000 to $100,000. A YOUNG man played highwayman on the streets of San Fransisco and was killed by a man who thought he was a a.real one. It is dangerous to be too good an actor. BICYCLE wedding tours are Incoming a fad in some portions of the East. When a man gets his bride on a tandem he can form a pretty good idea of what assistance he can expect from her in driving along through life. BRITISH army officers are negotiating with stockyards horse dealers in Chi­ cago for the purchase of from 10,000 to 50,000 head of horses for use by the cav- alry and artillery of the queen's army in the Transvaal. Representatives of the British government will come on from New York in a few days and the sales will then be carried through. The horses "will be obtained from the breed­ ing farms of the central states. KANSAS paper has been run as Jesus would run it, an Indiana paper Has been run as the devil would run it, and now one of our exchanges announces that it will be conducted as Captain Kidd would have it run. Delinquent subscribers might expect a call from the business manager with their counts stuck in the muzzel of Shooter. If this plan had ac- a six not been adopted the paper would soon be run­ ning as the sheriff would run it How's this for expansion? iLast year, 1899, the exports of American farm pro­ ducts and manufactures to Cuba, Porto Rico, the Hawaiian, Philippine and Samoan islands increased by more than 100 per cent. Besides t.hip, nearly $6, J. C. Kennedy, Roanoke, Tenn., says, "I cannot say too much for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. One box of it cured what the doctors called an incurable ulcer on my jaw." Cures piles and all skin diseases. Look out for worthless imitations. Julia A. Story. An Appeal to Sportsmen. I wish y6u would help me arouse public sentiment in McHenry Co., against that class of so called hunters who roam about the country killing every wild thing they see. Where ten years ago were hundreds of birds, today it is difficult to find dozens. . Prairie chicken, quail, grouse, wood­ cock, snipe, plover, are already nearly extinct in Illinois. Here and there a few birds drag out a harrassed exist­ ence but each year sees an alarming diminution in their numbers. Not only this but a certain very large class of so called hunters, unable to find or to shoot game birds are assiduously devoting themselves to the song birds, with the inevitable result that our trees no longer resound with the musical chat­ ter of robbins, thrushes, orioles, and a dozen other varities which a few short years ago made the early morning a veritable concert of bird voises. A few scattered still visit us but their number is pitifully small compared to what it would be if the people would insist on an observance of existing laws. It is, manilestly impossible for one game warden or fifty deputies to en­ force the law unless public sentiment is so aroused against violators that every man, woman and child who witnesses an infraction of the law shall make complaint to the nearest justice or game warden and see that prosecutions follow. Jtist so long as every witness shrugs his shoulders and thinks' 'Oh, well, its no business of 'mine" so long will viola­ tions continue and increase. To be sure it is the duty of game war­ dens and deputies to enforce the laws, but our state laws provide for a contin­ gent fee only in payment of their ser­ vices and few, inded, can afford to neglect their regular means of obtain­ ing a livelihood on the chance of catch­ ing game law violators. I think the Eighth District has as good a set of deputy game wardens as any in the State--I believe that every man of them will go to any length to apprehend violators of the law, if citi­ zens will give them their moral and actual support. The law requires that I make my annual report to Governor Tanner by the 15th of this month. I wish every true sportsman in the district (Grundy, Kane, DeKalb, Kendall, McHenry and DuPage Counties) would accept this as a personal' appeal and immediately write me on the following points: 1. Kind of game in your neighborhood. 2. Quantity compared with last year and ten years ago. , 8. Song birds--ditto. 4 Violations of the law-- what and by whom. • 5. Suggested remedies for existing conditions. I want to make a true and compre­ hensive report to Governor Tanner which may be used as a basis for legis­ lation. Let me hear from every true lover of birds and animals at once. F. E. SCOTFORD, Game Warden Eighth District, Hinsdale, 111. Rey. W. E. Sitzer, W. Caton, N.

Stories of and by Methodists. Presiding Elder Hardin of the Bock River Conference has been in the minis­ try fpr only fifty-one years and looks upon himself as one of the youngsters. At the same time he has little sympathy with that portion of the younger gener­ ation who enter the ministry for the sake of the salary attached to it. In a somewhat celebrated address he once referred to "the young goslings from Evanston whose first squawking is 'Salary, salary,' " Elder Hardin rode thecircuitja-thedays when there was only one little piece of railroad west of the Ohio River, and he knew personally Peter Cartwright and the other famous types of pioneer Methodism, Like the other men who traveled almost altogeth­ er on horseback, he came to know a good horse, and it is said that his judg­ ment on speed and stamina is still sound: As another illustration of the same char­ acteristic, it is recalled that the late Bishop McKendree left in his will a provision for his faithful horse as long as it should live.--Chicago Tribune. "A Howling: Success." Wherever properly introduced Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, as a cure for constipation, has met with phenomenal sale.
