New CattIe InspectlOn ReguIatlOn.

The State Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission has issued the following order
of the Texas commission, making It a
part of the Kansas regulations:
"All parties desiring to ship or drive
cattle to Kansas, before being allowed to
do so, will be required to present per-
mits from Texas inspectors, showing
them to be free from Texas fever infec-
tion, providing the cattle are from any
of the following counties in Texas;
Wilbarger, Ford, Knox, Haskell, Jones,
Fisher, Mitchell, Sterling, Irion and
West Tom Green.
The order Of the board concludes as
follows:
"As several false rumOrs have been
set alloat in regard to the manner in
which cattle from the State of Texas
desiring to enter Kansas can do so, the
board deems the above explanation nee
essary. There is no order against cat
tie being driven from Texas to Kansas,
but, as stated, where such cattle are
driven long distances, the chances Of
picking up infection on the way are
somewhat increased. Therefore, to be
certain they did not pick up infection
on the way and thereby carry disease
into the herds Of Kansas stockmen, the
board has decided that the inspection
shall be at the end of the drive instead
of ut the beginning of it,"

Harris Wants Liquor Law Enforced.

An effort has recently been made to get
Congress to enact some sort of leglsla-
tiOn which will drive joints and dives
out of the vicinity of the LeavenwOrth
Soldiers Home. The opinion of all who
have given the matter attention is that
the government has no jurisdiction off
the reservation. In letter to a Topeka
friend Senator Harris says Certainly
Kansas has no excuse for tOlerating or
permitting anything Of the kind MS It Is
absolutely contrary to her whole system

GLADSTONE is DEAD.
England's Greatest Statesman, After
Long and Useful Life, Passes
Peacefully Away.

William Ewart Gladstone died at his
home ut Hawarden at o'clock Thurs
day morning. His last moments were
calm and peaceful. He died quietly.
UnconsciOusness had come early the
previous day and but once or twice was
there indication of recognition of his
family, the members Of which were as
sembled around him. His faithful wife
was with him constantly, and it was
with difficulty that she was prevailed
upon to take any rest during the last
week Of his illness.
The funeral will be a national one,
and the remains will doubtless be in
tered at HaWarden near the church
where he was married more than fifty
years ago. The entire English people
seemed to join in expressions of sor-
row. On the previous evening at ban
quets and other similar gatherings the
various addresses were omitted and all
of the speakers gave attention to the
sentiment that the greatest Of English
men was slowly passing away"
Mr.. Gladstone was born December 29
1909, and was SO years old at the time
Of his death. Liverpool was his birth
place and nearly all of his home life
was spent there at his castle known

Information for Camp Visitors.

The soldiers at Camp Leedy have had
little to do since they arrived except
answer questions prOpounded by Wis
itors. One Of the boys, firing of the
perpetual repetitions of the same ques-
tions, sat down and prepared the fol-
lowing general answers, which he posted
up:
Glad to see you, always.
We are not afraid; not yet
We know we are liable to be shot.
We don't know how it will feel until
we get hit
We are liable to be sick.
We might be sick if we stayed at
home.
We are not dying to get into the hos
pital; we may die after we get there.
Yes, if we have a chance we will shoot
Would we kill a Spaniard? Ask
Dewey.
We don't know whether we shall be
glad when it is all over. Most likely.
We are sorry we are going to leave our
wives and our children and our sweet
hearts.

Philippines Abandoned.

1t is apparent that the present Spanish
force in the Philippines cannot resist
Dewey. 1t is becoming equally apparent
that there Is no possibility Of Spain being
able to send any relnfOrcements. Such
a course would necessitate a removal Of
most of the vessels intended to defend
the coast Of Spain. This cannot be done.
This leaves no course open but to aban-
don the Philippines.

In his position as commander of Camp

handle his work in very satisfactory
way Notwithstanding the fact that or

at best no easy job. During the two
weeks which he has been in charge he
has conducted himself and his work in
very able manner. His appointment as
lieutenant colonel is merited and his

RENDEZVOUS OF wARsHIps.

Washington, Aug. 2o-One of the
largest fleets or warships ever assembled
In an American port will be brought
together in the next few days at Fort
Monroe. Already 81 warships are under
orders TO rendezvous there, and the or
ders still to be issued will raise the total
to the neighborhood of 20. Naval off,
cfals say 1t Is difficult to realize the ex-
tent of such marine aggregation in
one harbor. The movement of the ships
northward is due TO the close of hos
tilities. and more particularly to the de-
sire to get the ships away from points
Of possible fever Infection. They will
now be put In thorough repair. and their
crews will be gradually changed from
naval militiamen to sailors Of the regular
navy.
The navy department has not yet de-
termined what ships will go to Havana.
San Juan and other points OF Cuba and
Porto Rico There is felt to be no hurry
about this until the authority of the
United States Is fully established
throughout the islands. In the mean
time the matter of policing the shore
points is being considered, and in due
time a number of the light draught
auxiliary cruisers and some OF the single
turreted monitors will be used for this
coast patrol. It Is found, however, that
only four OF the old monitors are fit for
this service In southern waters.
As many naval vessels will be centered
about the West Indies from this time
forward, the navy department will send
the new floating dock. recently bought
In New York. down the coast to Pensa-
cola, where 1t will be kept for docking
the warships. At that point also there
are good naval workshops to be used In
conjunction with the floating dock. The
dock Is now being inspected and Will be
