There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put 10.
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed TO be incurable. For a great
many years do9tors pronounced It local
disease, aud prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced itincursble. Science
has proven catarrh to be q constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
ticnal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney g. Co., To.
ledO, O., is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts

CHARGES ARE TOO HIGH.
POpulIst state Committee Asks the Leglsla-
ture to Go After the Kansas City
Stock Yards.

bbUCA
The Populist State Central commit
tee has under consideration the matter
of the charges Of the Kansas City
Stock Yards Company and the Kansas
City Live Stock Exchange and believe
1t to be the duty Of the party majority
In the Legislature to make some re.
duction In them. The following signed
statement was issued by the committee
Wednesday:
"To the PopuliSt Majority i'a the Sem
ate and House Of Representatives:
"In view of the fact that there is
general demand for relief from the ex.
Cesslve charges of the Kansas City
Stock Yards, and the further fact that
a strong lobby is now in Topeka for
the svowed purpose of preventing any
stock yards legislation, we desire to
call your attention to the following
facts, showing an estimate Of the bus.
mess transacted at the Kansas City
Stock Yards and the excessive profits
received therefrom.
INCOME OF THE COMPANY.
"The tWenty-sixth annual report of
the Stock Yards Company for the year
ending December 81, 1896, shows that
during the year there was received
at the yards 1854 cars of stock
and that 40,Oll cars were reshipped,
making total of 15S,6O5 cars handled
during Che year. The railroads paid
the stock yards so cents per car for
loading and so cents per Car for un-
loading stock, which would make the
revenues Of the company from this
source during the year $76,8O250. It
is estimated by stoCkmen that 81
worth of feed per car was fed to this
stock, which would amount to the sum
of 1927, ,1S8. When the fact is taken
into consideration that this feed is sold
at the rate Of 81 per bushel for corn
and 500 per ton fox hay, it will be seen
that fully rs per cent. of this amount
must be profit and that the yards would
net, therefore, $17O,39O. The report
further shows that 18, 100 head Of cattle
were driven into the yards, and the
same calculation would show the
further profit of about $4,000 on the
feed given to this lot.
"IR addition to these, there was re-
ceiVed during the year AZ yardsge 25
cents head on 1,7l4,532 cattle, equal.
ing 1923, 1888; 100, 1866 calves at 10 cents
per head, equaling $1O,l 2.6O5,575
hogs at 8 cents per head, equaling
$2O8, ,446; $780, ,125 sheep at 5 cents per
head, equaling $49, ,656.S0.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS PROFIT.
"The Stock Yards Company also
derives a large revenue from the rental
of its exchange building to commission
men, buyers, railroads and banks,
which, at the least estimate, amounts
to $S5, 1000 per year, which about pays
the total cost Of the building. These
figures show that the income of the
business last year was over million
dollars. This does not include the
rev venue from the horse and mule mar
ket, as we have no way of arriving at
an estimate Of the profits from that
department, but from the matter
printed by the Stock Yards Company
since the close Of '96, we would judge
