TO STAMP OUT BUCKET SHOPS.
Chicago Board of Trade to Take the
Lead in a National


CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The board of trade
Of Chicago has taken the first steps in
what is intended to be a concerted move
ment Of commercial exchanges all over the
country against the bucket shop system
Resolutions adopted by the board of di-
rectors calling upon the exchanges to COM
bine against the encroachments of this
form of speculation, have been circulated
by Secretary Stone. of the board of trade,
and a number of replies have already been
received. all of which indicate u strong
feeling in favor of such movement. The
purpose of the anti-bucket shop crusaders
is to strike at the bottom of the whole
business by securing the aid of the New
York stock exchange and the cotton ex-
change, which, in conjunction with the
Chicago board of trade form the basis of
nearly all the bucket shop operations in the
country. Among the exchanges which have
been communicated with are those at St
Louis, Detroit. Buffalo, Indianapolis, Du-
luth. Philadelphia. New Orleans, Baltimore,
Milwaukee, Peoria and other large grain
and stock exchanges. If the general senti-
ment is favorable to such a movement, it
is the intention, according to Secretary
Stone, to hold a convention to discuss the
most practical manner in which to do away
with bucket shops. If the replies are ia
vorable a committee will at once be ap-
pointed to work out preliminary plans

THREE SENATE CONTESTS.
Committee on Elections to Consider
Quay, Scott and Clarke
CaHea TO.dQy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ga meeting of
the senate committee on privileges and
elections has been called for tomorrow to
consider the protest against the seating OF
Senator Quay upon the appointment Of the
governor of Pennsylvania, and the memo
rials urging the unseating of Senator Clark.
of Montana, and Senator Scott, of West
Virginia because of alleged irregularities
in their respective elections. 1t Is proDaple
that an order will be made for the taxing
Of testimony in the Clark and Scott cases,
and that there may occur some delay IN
the consideration. No evidence, however,
will be taken in the Quay case, in Whlcn
only legal points will be considered Both
sides of that controversy will be repre-
sented by counsel.
AS the result of a canvass made by Mr.
Quays friends, 1t Is asserted that forty-slX
Of the eighty-five members will vote to
seat him as senator from Pennsylvania.
These figures are obtained by counting the
thirty senator's now in the senate who
voted either for Corbett or Mantle and six
teen others from whom, 1t Is asserted,
promises have been obtained favorable to
Mr.. Quay. ~
bic there is a possibility that he may come
forward as a claimant for seat in the
senate.
His rejection by the house, it is expected,
will add to his popularity in Utah. and IT IS
suggested that, If Mr.. Quay is seated by
the senate, the Democratic governor OF
Utah may appoint Mr.. Roberts to NIL the
vacancy that exists in Utah's representa-
ton in that body.

SANITARY ASSOCIATION.
Question of It's Formation Will Be
Considered at a Meeting to BE
Held Here Tomorrow.

TOPEKA. Dec.f6-(Special) The cattle
men of the Western country are consider
ing a proposition to form Western san
itary association to look after the cattle
interests of this section. This question will
come up at a meeting of live stock san
itary boards of all the states and terri
tories west of the Mississippi river, border
ing upon the quarantine lines, to be held
at Kansas City on Decembr s.
The Western sanitary commissions have
felt for some time that their interests
were not in common with those of the
states lying east of the Mississippi.
Practically all of the cattle of commerce
in the United States come from the states
and territories west of the Mississippi riv-
er. Millions of feeders and grassers are
drawn from this section by the Western,
Middle and Eastern states.
Diseases peculiar to this country, and
sanitary conditions necessary for the
health of these cattle will be the matters
discussed at this meeting. Questions of
quarantine will be the most important mat
ter.
The call for this meeting was sent out
by the Missouri and Kansas boards and re-
sponses have been received from Okla
homa, Texas. New Mexico. Arizona and
Colorado so far, stating that representa-
tiyes would be present

G. Watson, who 1t is claimed have been
operating what is known as the '.arbitrage
system" here, similar to that of the Frank
lyn syndicate in New York, have disap-
peared. Saturday night they sent their

Chicago and Watson to St. Louis to open
new offices and would return Monday. To-
day their desks were broken open and 1t
was found that they had destroyed all
their contracts. letters and other evidence
and left behind only a stack of bills pay
able. The firm guaranteed to pay 50 per
cent annually on investments. The con-
tracts. however, include a clause admitting
the investor to partnership. which 1t is
claimed vitiates the guaranty. 1t has been
operating here two months. and the police
say came here from the East where the
same procedure was followed. The amount
of losses by investors is not known. as all
evidence was destroyed. The authorities
are taking steps to apprehend the men.

SECRETARY OF TREASURY SUBMITS
HIS ANNUAL REPORT.
FEDERAL FINANCES IN DETAIL
URGES REFORM IN NATIONAL CUR
RENCY SYSTEM.
While Pointing Out Several Radical
Evils, the Secretary Makes Few
Recommendations - Favors
Metric System-Also Relief
for Moving Crops.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-(Special) The
secretary OF the treasury has submitted
his report to the speaker of the house of
representatives and it was made public
to-day. Much stress is laid upon the fact
that while stability in the currency should
be safely guarded, feXibility-the power of
needful eXpansion-must also be provided.
He reviews this subject at length without,
however, making any recommendations as
to methods. Following is a summary OF
the report:

A Good Fire Kinder.

On one of our outings to the mount
aims VIC secured quality of very rich
pitch pine which made such good kind
ling wood that when it was gone the
old way of hitting shavings seemed
very unsatisfactory, and we set out to
find something better. Pouring kero-
senc on makes the fire start quickly;
but we have prejudice against being
burned alive. After various expert
ments we hit upon the following,
which is safe and cheap and good.
Take fat 10 pound lard pail. Break
corncobs in two and stand the halves
on end in the pail until the bottom is
filed. Then pour kerosene enough
over them to wet the cobs and leave o
little in the bottom Of the pail, so that
half inch or less of the end of the
cobs will stand in the oil. One Of
these pieces of cob laid in the CRATE
will light readily from a match and
burn strongly enough to start quite
coarse kindling, and prove great
help on cold winter moruings.-L.

Maryels Of Surgery.

\ month or two ago doctor was
called in to attend boy whose ear
had been completely bitten off by q
vicious horse. The surgeon determin
ed to try and replace the ear, us fail
ure to do so could no. result in worse
deformity.
The missing ear was duly found and
handed to the doctor, who was then
engaged in bathing the severed part in
warm water. He had neither instru-
ments nor dressings with him, and as
the half hours delay to obtain them
would have been fatal to success, he
stitched the ear in its place again with
common needle and thread. This
was followed by antiseptic treatment,
and in six weeks the ear completely
healed, leaving no scars. Even had
this been failure an ear made Of a
waxy composition and an exact fac
similc Of the other ear could have been
made and fixed.
In some cases it has been necessary
to remove the tongue; but by raising
the floor Of the mouth and thus in
some way filling the place Of the miss
ing organ the patient has been enabled
to speak almost perfectly.
The fitting Of glass eyes is we'll
known, and the complete destruction
of the jawbone has no terrors for the
modern surgeon. The crushed bone is
removed and piece of silver or alu-
minum, the exact shape of the lost
jaw, fitted in its place. After this has
become firmly fixed, teeth may be fitted
to it. If mans throat is defective
the operation of tracheotomy-thc
insertion Of silver tube in the wind
pipe with an orifice opening to the
throat-provides him with a new
breathing apparatus.
Artificial legs and arms are now 80
perfect that with them o man can
walk, skate and even cycle. There is
q story also Of man who. injuring his
spine in railway accident, was fitted
with steel casing for his backbone,
and so enabled to walk and ride st.

Kerosene For Poultry.

The many uses that kerosene may
be put to in the poultry yard make it
..most an indispensable article 10 be
charged TO the expense account; and
no other article will enhance tho
profits Of the poultry yards as kero-
sene diligently and intelligently used.
For painting the inside Of nest boxes
for sitting hens there is nothing to
equal it, as it surely kills all vermin
with which it comes in contact, AMI
prevents other vermin from entering
the nest until it is entirely evaporated,
which, if the crude oil is used. will
give the hen ample time to hatch her
brood. A few drops in the drinking
water occasionally has good effect
upon the general health Of the flock,
and.for colds or roup there is nothing
better if carefully applied. Scaley
legs may be cured:by simply wctting
the legs Of the fowl affected occasion
ally, and the crude oil is best in this
case also, as it takes much longer
time to evaporatc. When this crude
oil is not readily obtained. some kind
of heavy oil or grease should be mix
ed with the Kerosene to stay evapor-
alton. As remedy for cholera it
has been highly recommended F"m
