Hutchinson, March AT their recent
meeting and at the suggestion of the
board of county commissioners, the as
SCISSORS of the county passed a resolu-
ton to get an expression of the tax
payers of the county touching the Ar
kansas river question. There is con-
siderable agitation just now regarding
the question of the water supply in the
river as affected by the irrigation ditch
es of eastern Colorado and western
Kansas
AS the assessors go over the town
ships they will take an expression from
the citizens as to whether they want
water to flow in the river, and whether
they would favor the county contribut-
ing money toward investigating and
lighting irrigating the land of western
Kansas and eastern Colorado from this
river.
The commissioners before taking any
action in the matter, or before consid-
er1ng any action, desire to ascertain the
exact feeling of the people of Reno
county, and have chosen this way of
doing it.
AS a city question the council of
Hutchinson has already decided not to
attempt any interference with western
irrigation, believing that western Kan
sas development is worth more to this
city than the stream of water.

SOLD AS BEEF
Los Angeles Health officers Find
Butchers Selling Horse Meat.

Butchers Selling Horse Meat.
Los Angeles, March 9.-Horse meat and
the flesh of colts has been sold in Los
Angeles for veal and nice cuts of beef.
Not until today was this fact clearly es-
tablished beyond any doubt, although the
police and health departments have for
some weeks been aware of the fact that
extraordinary flesh of some kind was be-
ing worked off on the public.
Meat Inspector Hughes has discovered
that B. GattereZ who owns and conducts
a meat market at Ord and New High
streets, is one of the syndicate who have
been dispOsing of choice rOasts off young
colts and steak that came from the body
of old and decrepit mustangs.
Detective Auble went to Caterers shop
and, after making some inquiries. went
out into the back yard, where he found a
colt tied up. There was what appeared
to be a pile of gunnySackS lying on the
ground, and when these were turned over
the headleSS carcass of another colt was
found. The first joints of the legs had
been removed, evidently at the place
where the colt was butchered, as no trace
of them was found, but on searching about
the place the missing head was found in
barrel.
Later Inspector Hughes returned on
night to a hovel on New High street Oc-
cupied by an Italian butcher named Ctcci,
who runs the Arizona market. The mouse
contains three rooms and is filthy in the
extreme. In one of the sleeping rooms
there was indiSputa Bile evidence that some
ing the night There were numerous
blOodstains on the floor, as well as pieces
of bone and flesh, which Inspector Hughes
unhesitatingly pronounced hOrsef1esh.

TAME PRIZE FIGHT.
Leavenworth the Scene of a Mild Pu-
giIistic Contest.

Leavenworth, March "a ten round
fight between Jim Thomas of Chicago
and Sam Bennett of Montreal, Canada,
took place last night at a sporting re-
sort south of the city.
The contest was witnessed by a large
crowd of spectators, many of whom put
up considerable money upon their faV-
orites.
It was about midnight when the prin-
cipals entered the ring. Both men put
up good fight and appeared to be ev-
emily matched, for neither won any ma
terial advantage over the other until
the tenth round was reached. In this
round Bennett punched Thomas seven
times in the face without being struck
in return. The round closed with a
heavy right from Bennett. When time
was called both men responded, and
the contest was declared a draw.

Would you shoulder guns?"
Yes, indeed. We are ready and will

Is This All That Congressman

The Pittsburg Dispatch asked congress-

which the State Journal regards as little
less than contemplate:
My views of the Maine disaster and

conduct of the officers and sailors of that
Inflated ship are that WeyIer has proved
too contemplate for comment.
ct believe the people of our nation have
every reason to compliment the conduct
of the brave officers and sailors of the
Maine. I see no cause to criticise them in
the least, nor have heard any criticism
expressed. They certainly did their full
duty, and we should, and believe as
nation do, give them full credit, while we
mourn the disaster and I believe treach-
erous fate which befen them. The special
bravery of Marine Anthony, also that of
Lieutenant Jenkins, who lost his life
while bravely diScharging his duties. en-

THE GOODNESS, courage and devotion to
duty displayed. by the officers and men of
the Maine in the face of the sudden and
terrific catastrophe. will forever remain
immortal tribute to the honor and
glory of our country which should be pre-
served in story and in song for all
time.
IF it should be officially decided to have
been the result of Spanish treachery I
should not be satisfied with less than the
complete expulsion of every vestige of
Spanish power from Cuba the surrender
of two Of her best battleships and such
Spaniard would forget it in a hundred
years. This should be the basis of the
demand for the sake of peace and regard
for the innocent, but I should hardly feel
sorry should the gods make Spain mad
enough to refuse.
The president cannot go so far or be
so severe but that I will heartily support
him, nor will I be satisfied with less than
indicated. w. a. HARRIS

81 was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one Of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear bandage, but I
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
