Kansas Former. There seems tn he
considerable complaint REGARDING the
killing OF glandered horses. without com
pensatlon. While it is true that the loss
is felt very keenly, there seems to be but
one remedy for eradicating this very con-
taglous disease among horses, and that
is to promptly kill them. The orders of
the State Veterinary and the Sanitary
Commission should be promptly obeyed.
The matter of compensation must be at
tended to by the next Legislature. and
this matter will be urged by the present
State Veterinarian.
Caldwell Journal: The droyers of
southern cattle must not into a sweat
about selling out the day they reach our
quarantine grounds. 1t is useless for
them to drive further, too, for all the
northern ranchmen are in the same fix
haven't the cash on hand to buy with.
"There is not one-fourth enough young
steer stock on this market to supply the
demand, but then we cannot get the
cash to buy with now" is the way sew
eral of our strongest ranchmen expressed
it to US during the week. The drovers
will have to simply wait few weeks un-
til the beeves are shipped and then they
can sell at good strong prices all they
have on hand. Our beeves are fully
thirty days late in fattening this season,
on account Of the late Spring. Another
thing is that our ranchmen will not drive
poor beef to market if they can possibly
get around it, and hence but few cattle
are going forward now.
Sumner Press: The foot disease. of
which we spoke several weeks since, as
affecting four head of cattle Just east OF
Milan, has spread so, that at last reports
more than twenty head of cattle in that
immed'a eneighborhood were affected by
it. While we do not believe it is even
akin to the dreaded foot and mouth dis
ease, yet the fact that it is contagious has
been demonstrated, and it is time some
thing was done about it. Sheriff E. F.
Henderson has notified DR.. A. A. Hol-
connie, State Veterinarian, three times,
but he replies each time that he has so
many engagements ahead that he cannot
come to Sumner county. There have
been no deaths from the disease, but has
caused much loss and great anxiety to
the farmers in that vicinity. It is high
time that the State Board were looking
after it. J. w. Hamilton, the resident
member, cannot do more alone than he
has done already.

Wellington WeIIiqagtoniaa.. The Baptist
church has new bell, one that is cred
it to to the city. It is a large bell, cast at
the Continental Bell foundry, Milwaukee,
Wis. It is of pure bell metal, and weighs
1 800 pounds, exclusive of the hangings.
It has a clear, mellow tone, and is
pitched on the key of F. It cost 1926, and
is paid for. The belfry on the church
was too small to admit it being hung, and
tower had to be built on the northwest
corner of the church Elder Barker, the
pastor, being bridge builder, was found
to be very useful in the erection of the
tower. Let the other churches that are
without bells emulate the example of the
Baptist brethren, and lay it over them a
little.

Mrs. Logan,s summer Resort.
Washington Letter to Albany Journal.

Washington Letter to Albany Journal.
Mrs. Logan has made a most eccentric
home among Summer watering places
Rock Enon Springs, Va. It is said that
Senator Logan will join her there. I
once had the misfortune of temporary
sojourn at this resort. The precipices
and the people were alike extraordinary.
The latter were composed of invalids
who regarded every chance acquaintance
as the family physician and offered gra-
tuitous diagnoses of their own cases-a
forlorn and endless array OF women who
owned proprietary in the children of
Belial and devastated the premises and
whole battalion of ministers laid up for
repairs by their generous parishiOners.
The designations were all about as mild
as New England tea drinking, crocheting
and croqueting dividing the honors,
even ten-pins being regarded as worldly,
if not depraved., The young men were
few and sad. There was not the least
temptation to linger and bid a coy good
night to the stars. And so, having an
unWelcome amount of time on my hands,
fed to the mountains, perched myself
upon one boulder, and. bracing my spin
al column against another, consumed
several hours in a graphic delineation of
my surroundings. With tolerable conn
mand of three languages, I am wholly
inadequate to depict the result OF my dis
closures. Who betrayed me into the
hands of the Philistines know not, but
that 1 was betrayed you would never
have doubted could you have seen me
bleeding with more wounds than ever

gown with more rents than the enviOus

It is a pity that the Scandinavian coun-
tries have not discouraged this species of
proselytiZing and thus deprived us of the
occasion for chronicling the arrival of
dupes on the Arizona, which reached
New York yesterday. Of this invoice of
prospective polygamists the majority are
Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, few be-
ing English, and mostly farmers and me-
chanics. The variety represented in our
recent immigration is interesting if not
attractive. The Hungarians who have
established themselves in the Pennsyl-
vania mines are breeding such discon-
tent among the other miners that out
breaks are frequent and promise to be-
come serious. These people are illiteTate
