WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Single Takers and Socialists Clash in
This CITY

The meeting held by the single takers
at Sixth and Kansas avenue Saturday
night was we'll attended and there was
spirited firing of questions at the
speakers.
1t is reported that John Radford will
some night this week, reply to the sin
gle takers and make an effort to eX-
plode their theories by advancing ar
guments in favor of socialism.
The single tax speakers assert that
their strongest opposition comes from
the Socialistic element. The reason,
claims J. F. Herman, is that the single
takers are in favor of simplifica ton
and restriction of governmental func-
tiOns, maintaining that the country
governed least is governed best; that
equity demands the restor-t on of equal
rights to all and the wiping out of spe-
cial privileges. Mr.. Herman and Mr..
MObiuS, in the face of the opposition
from the socialists, declare that the
theory of single tax is in no way similar
to socialism, although the public fire.
quently confoundS the two.
Mr.. Herman says: Socialism would
be useless, tyrannical and ininlical to-
social progress, incompatible with the
genius and character of the American
people, and is based upon the delusion
that capital is the enemy of labor,a fall
lacy that is also partly responsible for
the prevailing silver craze among peo-
pie who ought not to confuse the eco
nomic factors of the land, labor and
capital in the production of wealth,
with wealth, interest and wages in the
distribution of wealth"

TREATMENT OF HIVES.
Am Annoying AiIment Which Amicts
Children in Summer.

About this time of year children are
apt to be troubled more or less with
hives. Usually they are not menace to
life, but they are a great discomfort to
the child and its mother. All are IA
miliar with this condition so it need
not be described at length. They sud-
denly flash out on seemingly healthy
skin and as suddenly disappear. They
are at first of a pinkish red color, soon
changing to deep red. If rubbed they
become surrounded by a whitish ring
which has given to them the appropriate
name "wheals." They are intensely
itchy and almost drive child frantic.
The most urgent indication is TO allay
the irritation; this may be done with
varying degrees of success with various
applications. A favorite remedy is n
saturated solution of bicarbonate of
soda-ordinary baking soda. Possibly
a better remedy is PulveriZed boracic
acid dissolved in glycerine or cosmo-
line and lightly rubbed over the surface.
A remedy have used with satisfaction,
though it has a very disagreeable odor,
is a solution of carbolic acid. a tea
spoonful to a pint of water, the mix
ture to be shaken for Is minutes to get
the acid thoroughly broken up. A good
authority gives these directions for the
relief of this affection. Wash the child
with soda water, then dip the finger in
castor oil and battle each individ ual
hive, rubbing the oil we'll into the skin.
The cause of hives is generally found
in the digestive tract, SO the diet and
bowels should be carefully looked to.
One of the saline purgatives should be
given to carry off any undigested mate
rial that may be present, then all rich
and heating foods should be withheld.
The child should be kept as still as
possible to avoid overheating the
blood.-Home Monthly.

"o1d Hoss" Hoey's Grim Joke.

William J. Seaman, the Irish comedian,
and "Old Hoss'' Hoey, both victims OF
paresis, were warm personal friends, and
since the latter's death it is recalled that
on one occasion several years ago he star
tied Broadway one afternoon by wearing
a band of Grape on his arm and telling his
theatrical acqu: tances that Seaman was
dead. When Scanlan heard of this, as he
did within an hour, he was very much as
tonished and furiously angry. He lost nc
time in finding Hoey and demanding an
explanation.
''Well,' said 'Old Hoss'' dryly, "when
you borrowed that $50 of me last week
you said you would pay it back Thursday
if you were alive. l hadn't seen you since
then, and today is Saturday. '-Chicago

BACK TO 100 LIB RATE.
No More Shipment of Livestock at
Carload Rates

The Kansas railroads have agreed to
again adopt the 100 pound rate for ship
lnentS of live stock and will put the
new rate in operation within a few
days. 1t was the intention to- discOn-
tinue the car load rate August 10, but
delay in the publication of tn tariffs has
made a postponement neces airy.
Under the new rate the minimum cal.
load will be $4,000 pounds and it will
be responsible for a large increase of
the present rates for the shipment of
live stock.
The Kansas lines put in this 00pcund
rate two years ago, causing an increase
of from s. to- SO per car on cattle and
hogs. Under the car load rate the cat
tlenen get the best of the railroads by
loading the cars to the fullest capacity
but under the 100 pound rate they are
compelled to abide by the limit prOvid-
ed by the minimum. There is no max
fmum, consequently the advantage ac-
crues to the railroads. When shippers
load as the railroads insist cars should
be loaded under the 100 pound rate
there seems to be no disadvantage, but
when the cars are crowded, as shippers
claim to prevent the tanning of the
cattle by not having the space we'll
filled, the 100 pound rate causes a
ment.
The tariff for Kansas has been print
ed, the proof read and corrected, the one
thing remaining being the completion
of the tariffs for the remainder of the
various systems
1t is said that another cause of the
delay in placing the new rate in opera
ton is that the railroads are restenciI-
2ng their cars as to dimensions

THEIR JOINT DEBATE.
Captain johnson Was No Orator, but Got
There Just the Same.

Captain johnson Was No Orator, but Got
There just the Same.
Before the war Captain jefferson John
5on was one of the representative citizens
Of Maries county, Mo-, man of wealth
and influence, but little learning. He de-
cided that he would like to go to she legis-
lature. There was no Republican party
in Maries county then, and usually o
number of Democrats ran against each
ether independently. In this canvass Cap
tain johnson was opposed by a man
named Graham, who had recently come
from Pennsylvania. Graham was q school
master and a man of unusual learning for
those times. He was also ready and for
chile talker and entered the race against
Captain johnson, whose education did not
extend much beyond ability to write his
name, with confidence of an easy victory.
The campaign was scarcely under way
before Graham proposed joint debate.
When this proposition was carried to Cap
tain johnson, he hesitated. Captain John
son was not exactly certain in his own
mind just what a debate was, bnt his
friends assured him that he could not well
decline his opponents offer.
"All right" said johnson in his easy,
good natured way, 81 don't know much
about derbatin, but if t'other Teller kin do
it 1 reckon kin too -
80 the debate was arranged. 1t was to
open at big barbecue and picnic at Lige
Jones', on the edge of Lanes Prairie.
The day arrived and with it about half the
population of the county. Graham went
to Captain Johnson and intimated that
he would like to open and close the debate.
johnson assented.
you're welcome to take furst whirl at
it, he said. II guess 1 kin make ou-
with what's left. -
1t was agreed that Graham was to have
an hour to open and half an hour to rejoin,
while Johnson was to speak for an hour
and a half without intermission. The
people assem- bled abont the stand to hear
did speech, full of good arguments and
hunor. When his time was up, he sat
down, feeling that he was already elected.
Then Captain johnson rose
81 don't know zactly what I'm expect
ed to do, - he said, ''but as Mr.. Graham
has made you a speech, an a mighty fine
one, guess III do something else. So
I've made up my min ter let him do the
speakin in this here derbate an I'll do the
treatin. If you fellersn jest go over thar
behind that clump O. bushes, you'll find
my wagon, an in it you'll find a key of
as fine apple brandy as you ever tasted.
Take the tin cup off the hook an help yer
Selves
And johnson sat down. The voters
drank and ate at his expense for the hour
he was supposed to have spoken, and when
the time came for Graham s rejoinder it
was discovered that he had left the
grounds. It is almost unnecessary to add
that Captain johnson was elected by an
enormous majority.-St. Louis Republic.

GOV. LEEDY SANGUINE.
That the Legislature if Called
in an Extra Session
Will Pass a Maximum Freight
Rate Bill.
He Expects TO Call the Extra Session
This FalI-It Will Provide for
Doodle Examin atoms.

Governor Leedy evidently believes
that the refractory members of the
state legislature are getting back into
line and that they will be ready to en-
act maximum railroad rate bill when
he calls the legislature together. The
governor said:
4 believe matters are shaping them-
selves so that we will be able to secure
the enactment of n maximum freight
rate bill at a special session of the leg
islature''
When will you call the special ses-
SiOn?" was asked.
Il have not decided" was the reply.
Are you sure there will be a special
session." the governor was asked.
Il am not sure of anything but death"
he answered, but I will say that if the
situation continues to improve there
will be a special session this fall
The enactment of a railroad law and
the appointment and proper authorize
ton of a Doodle investigating commit
tee will be the two subjects of greatest
Importance which will be taken up. The
POpulistS want to get rid of certain
wOuld-be leaders and believe that the
only successful way to accomplish it is
to have anC Their committee empowered
to punish witnesses who refuse to test
lily. In this manner the party leaders
hope to clear up the political atmos-
phere and repair the damage done by
the failure of the recent committee to
stand the test before the supreme court.
Senator H. @. Jumper, by reason of
his appointment as a member of the
state board of charities is considered as
a new convert to the idea of maximum
rateS.He was violently opposed to that
kind of a bill in the senate last winter
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
Governor Leedy would appoint a man
Numerically opposed to his own policy
unless he received some assurance of
complete change of heart on the part of
the beneficiary of his action.
