NO USE FOR INSPECTORS.
Fakes About Infected Cattle From New
Mexico Pronounced Bonh.


Mexico Pronounced BOsh.
Chairman j. WI ohnson. of the live stock
sanitary commission. and j. w Moore,
secretary of the board, are in To-
peka today TO see Governor Morrill, rela
tive to the removal of the state inspec-
tors, which are causing so much trouble
among the cattlemen of the state.
Secretary Moore protests against re-
moving he inspectors while Chairman
johnson says they ought never to have
been appointed.
To a STATE JOURNAL reporter Chair
man johnson said: 81 have been in the
cattle business in Kansas for twenty
years aud I know what l am talking
about when 1 say the inspectors ought
never to have been appointed.
Zone of those inspectors is now out at
Albuquerque but never in the hist DRY of
the state have any infected cattle been
brought in from the high plains of New
Mexico and Arizona and that is the
class of cattle that come via
that route. Never but once, and that was
last year, did a single bunch of infected
cattle come into the state from that dire c.
ton. That one bunch last year was fir, N
lower California. but they were quaran-
tined until there was no danger
This talk which has just been started
about bunch of 10000 head of infect,
cattle being headed for Gray county
from New Mexico and Arizona is all
bosh. Infected cattle don't come from
those points"
On account of the trouble with this
live stock board it is not improbable that
Governor Morrill, will completely reor-
ganiZe the board.

ter of Lawrencs-Musk Cured Him.
IFrom the Lawrence JournaLl
The wide spread publicity given the
hiccough case of Mr.. s. L. Fiester of this
city caused him to receive many receipts
from many places, giving various RENE
dies for the cure of an extended case of
the hiccoughs. These came in first by
telegraph and later by mail, and nearly
all that came in were marked to deliver
at once.
The remedy that cured Mr.. Fiester
and stopped his hiccoughing on Satur-
day evening was musk. Mr.. Fiester had
the hiccoughs altogether six days and
when they were finally stopped was al
most entirely exhausted
Here are some of the suggestions
made for the attack:
From Kansas City: Put patient under
the influence of chloroform; sure cure
for hiccoughs.
From away out at Denver: Nitrate of
amyl, few drops to be inhaled from
handkerchief; and the writer adds that
he would like to hear the result, as the
proposed remedy had been known to
save life.
From Kansas City: If you still have
the hiccoughs you may get rid of same
by taking or drinking fresh buttermilk;
| it is the best and only thing
| From Emporia: Take dried black
| berries and stew them, drink the juice
and eat as many berries as you can and
! think you will have relief.
From Falls City, Neb: Take a lump
of cut loaf sugar with few drops of
cider vinegar on it, and keep still for a
while.
| From Parker, Kan: Have your doctor
give you musk, either in powder or in
i solution, and get we'll.
From Florence. Kan: Take a six
ounce bottle and make six equal parts;
! ianiper oil, olive oil, turpentine, harris
horn, camphor, alcohol; please let me
| know the results.
Another from Denver. Col: Give the
man with hiccoughs all the sweet milk
that his stomach can hold; it is sure
cure for hiccoughs. Keep giving the
sweet milk until relieved.
A third from Denver says: Saturate a
| handkerchief with the drug amyl, place
over the nose and mouth and inhale; try
| it, as it has cured more than one and may
cure you. =
From Topeka: Reading in the Journal
of Mr.. Fiester's hiccoughing for three
| days, send a remedy that took from
| the New York Herald. which cured two
persons. This is the remedy: Nitrate of
anvil, five or six drops of the nitrate was
dropped on a handkerchief and placed
asleep for ten hours; Immediately on
| awaking give the amyl again; given Sat-
urday and Sunday and relief followed
From EmDoria: 1t it said small sack
of hot salt on the stomach and diaphragm
| is an infallible cure for the hiccoughs.
have known obstinate cases cured by this
| means

OUR BIG BOY IN THE CITY.
Lewis wilkins. the Kansas Giant Visits

[From the kansas City Times


[From the Kansas City Times
Lewis iIkins, the biggest boy in
Kansas. was IN Kansas City for few
hours yesterday and he was more fun
than sideshow for the small boys
along Union avenue. Mr.. Wilkins ex-
act height is eight feet aud two inches,
and he towers above the common herd
like the prospective flag staff at Ex-
position park. He is by no means a
sylph-like creature, either, but tips the
scales at 412 pounds and has an arm on
him like the leg of prize beef. Mr.
Wilkins lives at Eldorado, Butler county,
Kansas, but is at present on his way to
New York, where he will join the Lii
putian company, with whom he has a
contract to travel next season.
a reporter found the gigantic Kansan
in Union avenue ticket Office, where he
had repaired soon after reaching the city.
He WAS surrounded by the usual gaping
crowd Mr.. Wilkins is now "a years old
and has been travelling with various COM
panies for three years. He said he went
on to New York some time ago and cas-
lily secured his present position. His
parents live in Oklahoma and are of only
medium size and weight, but he has been
abnormally big all his life.

VANcoUvER,} B. c., July 25.-The
steamship Empress of India from Hong
Kong brings news of the attack made on
the foreign missions in China a few
weeks ago. The Ching King correspon-
dent of the North China Daily News
tells the story as follows: A riot oc-
CURED at the premises of the Canadian
Methodist mission, their hospital. dispen-
sary and chapel being looted and burned.
Although the mob was kept al bay for
an hour or two, and although the yamen
were near and the soldiers barracks were
about five minutes walk away, no at
tention was paid to the requests for as
sistance.
After resting for the night the mob be-
gan again next day. AMI when the day
was ended nothing remained OF the
eleven places of worship of Protestant
and Roman Catholic missions. In every
case the officials made q mere pretense
of protecting or fatty refused it.
The mem bers of the American Metho-
dist Episcopal mission climbed over a
wall to a neighbours, and remained twelve
hours in a dirty little loft watching the
destruction of their property. Some of
the Canadian Methodist missionaries who
sought protection at the soldiers bar
racks were driven out.
Much apprehension is felt for the mis-
sionaries of the China inland missions,
scattered in several stations over Chang
Tu plain, away from water and Telegram phi
communication. If the foreign govern
ments do not take stringent measures
there may be clean sweep of the whole
province. The people say that the en-
peror has ordered the viceroy to drive
out all the foreigners, beginning at
CHANG tn.

these may be added masses of orchids,
caladium lesves and great punches of
roses. The tropical style of wall and fire.
place decoration has been used with very
good effect. It consists of an arrange
ment of large plants of orchids, looking
as if they had just been torn up by the
roots, which hang down in picturesque
confusion. Aided to these are tangled
briers, among which may be seen few
birds with gaudy plumage. 1t need hard
" be said that no ribbons are added to
decorations in this style.
Finally, for general house decoration
Landings, corners, halls, etc.-the
tallest plants available will be the cor
rect thing. This is certainly not novel,
but since the high tubes and other tall
vases and arrangements Of tall palms
came in it has become more and more
obvious that they could not be beaten
nor satisfactorily replaced by groups Of
dwarf plants, however beautiful these
may be. There can be nothing 1oyelier
in the high tubes than roses cut with
very long stems and plants of foliage.
