Mrs. Baird.

The Kansas City, No., board Of health
decided after a conference with representa-
tives of the state board of health. to dismiss
the case against Mrs A. ]. Baird. the Chris
tan Science doctor arrested week ago.
The object of the local board of health in
dismissing the proceedings is to give the
state board an opportunity to deal with
Mrs. Baird under the state law. What will
be done is not fully decided, but il 10 known
that members of the board have been in
vestigating the cas-, with a view to punish
ing her for criminal Negligence.
In the city case she admitted that she was
not a registered physician and said there
was no reason why she should be. She does
not practice medicine. and claims that drugs
and medicines of all kinds are nostrums in
furious to the body and of no value in curing
disease. 1t 10 claimed by Mrs. Baird and
her friends that Christian Science includes
both a religion, creed and a separate and
distinct art of healing. There are two Chris
tian Science churches with about 200 men,
bers in Kansas City, and a majority of the
memb rs are said to scorn medicines OF all
kinds as. heartily as does Mrs. BairI hers IF.

Another Cattle scare.

An0t00r C0COo scare.
Chairman ]. W. johnson and Secretary ].
W. Moore, Of the live stock Sani:ary COM
mission, have made an examination of cattle
in the vicinity of Garrett. The commission
vas accompanied by DR.. Mayo. the veterina-
rian, who thought he had discovered pleuro-
pneumonia among tn. cattle in Geary coun-
~. Some of the stockmen about Garrett
have complained to Governor Morrill, of q
mysterious disease among the cattle in tho
vicinity. and the commission was sent at
their request.
W. o. Wright. who lives on q farm eight
miles east Of Winfield, lost ten head of cat
tie in forty-eight hours. and some Of the
dealers and fe ders in the vicinity became
agitated as to the probable cause of the
deaths.
A thorough examination of the feed Mr..
Wright had been giving his cattle convinced
the members of the commission and DR..
Mayo that it wac wholly responsible for the
death of the cattle. He had been giving his
cattle a large amount of wild rye. and the
presence of ergOt in the rye caused the sud-
den deaths of the ANIMALS. Erzot is . fun
gus growth, which forms ON Wild rye, and
an examination of the rye Wright fed re-
vealed its presence in large quantities. The
water they have been drinking was muddy
and filthy. These cattle had also been eat
ing corn fodder that had been almost buried
in mud and dirt, and that which was not
covered with mud was driven full of dust in
a sand storm.

That Venezuelan Grant,

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April A. There is Q
great deal more in the news from Faribault,
Mimi, of the grant of a corces,ion BY
Venezuela at the the mouth of the Orinoco
than is indicated in the dispatch. This con.
cession ma5 become more or less famous ip
the history of the diplomacy of the United
States and Great Britain. The concession
y we'll calculated to bring to an acute stage
the most troublesome diplomatic questions
before the state department and one which
has caused the administration moro real
concern than the Alliance affair, the late
Guatemalan-M Mexican dispute and other in.
ternational episodes.
The concession is in the heart of the terri
tory long in dispute between Venezuela and
Great Britain. The land included in the
concession is the vital point of conflict be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela. The
Orinoco is the great commercial artery of
South America, running far inland through
Venezuela, Brazil and other countries. Who
ever controls the mouth of the river, Min
lister AndTead says, will control this great
commerce.

Marked Improvement

Marked Improvement
b. g. Dun 4 Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Returns showing the condition Of retail
trade in March throughout the country and
he distribution of goods of final compari.
ION with the same month in 1884 and 1893
give gratifying evidence that in most trades
and districts marked improvement over
1894 is realized, though on the whole trade
is smaller than in 1898.
Accounts from the chief centers Of the
wholesale trade are encouraging. Thers 10
not only hopefulspirit. but the real gains in
business, though not equally distributed geo.
graphically or as to branches of trade. The
best news from the industries is that labor
troubles have been settled or avoided. Next
in importance Is that better demand for
manufactured articles. which gives greater
reason to hope that recent advances from
the bottom may prove successful.
The cotton market is stimulated by the
rise in raw cotton goods. though cotton has
halted. Better demand appears for many
qualities and in some slight advances in
prices. Sales Of wool reflect the renewed
confidence of manufacturers. as strikes are
out of the way, for 6,675, 100 pounds we're
sold last week against 4.46S, 200 last year.
No rise in prices is seen or expected in
view of heavy sales and receipts Of foreign
wool.

PRAYER Not PRIVILEGED,

Los ANGELES. CAL, April 4.-Judge CLARK
has overru,ed the demurrer interposed by
Rev. j. c. Campbell in the suit charging
him with slandering Miss Tessa L. Keso,
the librarian of the Los Angeles public
library. The basis of the action was prayer
offered by the defendant before his congre-
cation in the First NJ. Z. church, In which
he said:
"Oh Lord, vouchsafe thy saving grace to
the librarian of the Los Angeles city library
and cleanse her of all sin and make her a
woman worthy of her office"
Rev. Campbell in his demurrer took the
position that his statement was privileged.
The court held that a SANDER can be per-
petrated in the form of prayer "a readily
as in any other form of speech. and that no
communication made by parson or priest to
his congregation is privileged because of
such relation, unless. perhaps. when maze
in the discharge of his pastoral duties. SUBJ
ject to the discipline of the church, and then
only unless made without malice.

Ccburn'S Quarterly.

Topeka, April s.-The quarterly report OF
the Kansas state board of agriculture will
be completed this week. 1t will be chiefly
devoted to the discussion of irrigation prob
lens as especially ada pied to Kansas; alfalfa
culture; wells and we'll water supply west
of the sixth principal meridian, and sub
soilng.
The report will also con tain in full the ad.
dresses, papers and discussions at the board 9
twenty. fourth annual meeting in January,
making in all some go pages with several
illustrations.
Secretary F. D. Coburn says the design in
the preparation of this work has been to
make it practically and at once helpful to
ward solving some of the more pressing
problems confronting the agricultural peo-
pie of our state at this time, rather than in
the remote bye and bye.
Owing to the fact that the legislature failed
to make an appropriation for postage fol
the department to send out these and othsz
reports it will be necessary for those desir-
ing copies of the quarterly to remit 6 cents
postage in order to secure them.

Lease versus Householder.
It has generally been supposed that tho
right of Mrs. Lease to another years service
upon the state board of charities had been
conceded by al concerned. 1t is hardly &c
oe doubted that Governor Lewelling ap.
pointed Mrs. Lease to the three years term.
now claimed by Senator Householder. and
that the records in the govern orr Office were
subsequently changed in a manner to re.
verse the positions of these two people. But
this forgery has not been proved. and 1t Is
aot incumbent upon the administration ID
prove it when a much easier solution lies
readily at hand.
George A. Clark was appointed by Gov
ernor Morrill, to succeed Mrs. Lease and no
was so confirmed by the senate.
Governor Morrill, can not be responsible
for the forgeries committed upon the book.
of his predecessor. If Mrs. Lease is entitled
TO place upon the board it must be thu
place usurped by Householder. If she
wants to secure the place she must so into
the courts and contest Householder out
of it.
The Capital says it is understood that this
course has been decided upon.

In Supreme Court.

TOPEKA. April 9.-The supreme court gave
Mrs. Anna Rowen, of Wichita, judgment
for $4,000 damages for the death of her
husband, who was killed by being knocked
from the top of a freight train by low
bridge.
Rowen was Santa Fe freight brakeman.
He was standing on high furniture car and
did not see low bridge which crossed the
track, which resulted IN his being knocked
from the train and killed.
The lower court held that it was the duty
of the railroad company to keep its track
clear and the brakeman, in the performance
of his duty, had right to expect clear right
of-way overhead. The supreme court sus-
tanned the lower court, giving the dead
brakeman's widow judgment for $4,000.

Chickens Are Animals.

TOPEKA. April 5.-Judge Hazen made a
decision of a great deal of consequence in
the Kansas sporting world. He held that
chickens are 'animais; within the meaning
of the statute for the prevention of cruelty
to animals, and that, therefore. those insti.
gatiug, encourag ng, or attending chicken
fight are punishah bile under its provisions.
, This decision was rendered in the case 81
the state against Ed Hossfield and c. G.
Trim er, who are charged with managing
a cock main in Topeka l. st fall. The event
was one of considerable importance and
brought game birds and their hackers from
every part of the state.
The defendants attorney, S. B. Isenhart,
entered a motion to squash the information
on the ground that 1t did not constitute o
sufficient cause for action. Isenhart held
that ''chickens an't animals; they re fowls"
Judge Hazen decided that while chickens
were not known as animals in the general
application of the term, yet in legal sense
chickens are animals.

Like the AllIanca Case.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April Sit is stated
by the officials that the reported firing by
officials of a Spanish gunboat on the British
ship Ethelred, bound from Boston to ia.
maica. if con firmed, will give the United
States and Great Britain a common cause
in demanding explanations and indemnity
from Spain. The circumstances seem to
be almost identical with the firing on the
Alliance. 1t is not clear that the Ethelred
was on the high seas or was within six miles
of Cape Maysi. which is the jurisdictions!
limits claimed by Spain. In Mr.. Gresham's
demand on Spain he took the ad van ced posi-
ton that American vessels on their regular
routes could not be molested even when
within the jurisdiction of Spanish waters.
If Great Britain takes similar position as
to her merchant vessels "a to their routes to
Jamaica it will 60 far toward the terrnina-
ton of Spain's claim of the rights of search
and seizure within Cuban waters.

Campaign fund Evaporates.

Campaign fund Evaporates.
The Chicago Post prints a sensational
story regarding the disappearance of $780,
600 democratic campaign fund. The Post
states that the managers of the recent city
ca N paiQn, in which the democratic nominee,
Wenter, was defeated, charge his defeat to
lack of necessary funds. and also charge that
an enormous sum has been appropriated by
five or six men high in the democratic polit.
ical circles of the city. The fund. the Post
says. was raised by assessment OF city hall
employees and others, and amounted to
about $500, 900. The Wenter managers claim
to have positive proof that the fund existed
prior to the last election, but say they were
unable to get any of it for campaign ex-
penses. The reputable men of the demo
cratic party are said to have become so thor
oughly aroused over the affair that they
will endeavor to secure an investigation:
and promise startling developments.

Shows March Report.

The weather report of Chancellor Snow,
of Kansas university, for the month of
March says that while last month was
warm one, its mean tenn perature has been
exceeded in seven Marches in the twenty
eight years record. March of last year was
one of the three warmest Marches. In
March, 1858, the thermometer reached 50
degrees, which is six degrees warmer than
the maximum of the last month. While
March, 1895. has been exceeded in mean and
maximum temperature it is exceptional in
the nigh temperature of the last week of the
month, which is the hottest March week ever
noted here. The highest t. mperature reached
was 81 degrees. on the 9th. The lowest was
6.5, on the 4th. This month is the sixth
consecutive one with defcien. rainfall, the
total of the month, including melted snow,
being 1.47 inches. The wind, coudIness
and barometer were normal.

Irrigation Plans.

TOPEKA. April 6.-Three additional pump
ing plants and stations have been located
by the irrigation board; one in Wichita
county. one in Greeley county and one in
Lane county. The board has now provided
for the location of eleven plants and Sc
lected the place. at which they will be placed
in operation. The origin 1 agreement pro-
vided for the location of fourteen plants,
but no more will be located at present

truction. When that work begins the mem.
bers of the board will be on the ground and
superintend ali details of the work as it pro-
crosses.

Rents and Interest Not in 1t.

Rents and Interest Not in 1t.
The United States supreme court, in the
income tax case. has reversed the decision
of the lower court, but the income tax as
whole is upheld only by divided court.
Two important portions of the Law, how
ever. have been decided to be uncousttu-
tional. and they are 80 serious as to effect
materially not only the revenues of the gov
eminent, but the estimation in which the
income tax will be held by the people.
Under the decision all incomes derived
from rents are exempted from taxation by
the government, and all incomes derived
from state and municipal bonds are simi-
larly exempted. In other respects the in
come tax law stands as it was passed last
August, but the result of the consultations
in the supreme court shows very conclu-
sively that the law can easily be picked to
pieces provided suits are brought to contest
each particular point as it comes up.

VIII Never Submit.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April cit is stated
by persons in a position to speak with au-
WINGED that Great Britain has finally de-
cided not to arbitrate or settle the boundary
dispute, as suggested by the United States,
through Ambassador Bayard. the southern
republic will regretfully but resolutely re-
sort to what she reg rds as her only re-
course, a resort to force.
1t is dec AIRED that her people are ready
to see their home, and their cities 6esolated
and laid in ashes rather than submit to what
they regard as national dishonor. 1t is
said that the contention with Great Britain
is not so much one of territory as sentiment
and honor So firmly impressed have the
people become with this that the opinion is
expressed that they would rather see the
country 60 out of existence than pass into
the practical control of fore On power.

There Is a Fund.

TOPEKA, April 9.-There is an unexpended
balance of some $4,000 to $4,000 of the
legislative appropriation and the state off,
GERS, at least some of them, believe that that
amount can be applied to the payment of
the expenses of the investigating commit
tees and the salaries Of the members and
witness fees. Resting upon the idea that
the balance can be applied to that purpose
Attorney General F. B. Dawes will be asked
to render an opinion upon the legality of
such an action. If the attorney general
holds that such use of money would be legal
and proper it will then be used to relieve
the stringency.
