Garden City Has a Dipping
Plant For Cattle.
Advanced Move of Finney County
StOckmen.
A CAPACITY OF 1900.
Will Positively Kill Ticks and
Parasites.
Gives Coat a Glossy Appearance
and No Eye Injury.

Garden City, March ia dipping
plant has just been put in operation
here that will make great changes in
the cattle business. For years our cat
tlemen have lost heavily every winter
from mango, ticks, etc, from cattle
brought from Arizona and Southwest.
The Garden City Cattle association
have put in a large vat, ten feet deep,
through which cattle are driven, and
out on to a large platform, so arranged
that the drippings go back into vat
with but little waste. They tested 1t
satisfactorily on Saturday. and esti-
mate it's capacity at 1900 cattle a day.
It will be a great thing as buyers Of
cattle can have assurance their cattle
are free these diseases and cattle sellers
will want cattle dipped to make them
salable.
The dipping tank is feet wide at the
top. 8 feet at the bottom and is 40 feet
long, built of No. Is galvanized steel,
and has a capacity of 1900 gallons of
dip. The receiving pens have a capac-
ity of 1000 cattle, crowding pen so cat
tie. The chute leading to dipping tank
is 40 feet in length, Is inches wide at
the bottom, 313 inches at top and is 8
feet high from floor. 1t is double floored
with 2 inch lumber and inclines at an
angle of u degrees. The drop from this
feet, letting the cattle drop naturally
without danger of injury.
After passing through the tank. the
cattle go to a drain table. which is 4Ox24
feet, where the dip runs off and is con-
Quoted back into the tank reducing the
loss of the solution to the minimum.
To each gallon of the dip used is adj
ded 40 gallons of water and the solution
is heated to from go to 105 degrees ac-
cording to the state of the weather.
This dip is composed of oils, has passed
the experimental stage, and there is
positive surety that it will, kill any kind
of parasite that infests cattle without
injury to the cattle. Besides killing the
parasites, which have proven. so detri-
mental to the growth and development
of the cattle industry, the dip improves
the general condition of stock giving
them slick glossy coat. It does not
hurt their eyes in the least.
The plant was put in on A. H War
ner's place one mile north of town I'M
der the direct supervision of G. H
Moore, assisted by local help, and is the
most complete of any in the United
States.

HE KNEW THE rAYLoRs.
Kentucky Governor Played
Him Trick.

Blue Rapids, March 13-The political
situation in Kentucky recalls many in
cidents to the mind of a native of that
state now living here, an ex-confed-
crate captain.

said: Now let me tell you. I know

Atchison, March 13.-The home Of ].

The loss is $4,000, partly covered by

much mystery.
During the last four months Mr.. Fox

COYOTES AT EmPoRIA.

TF'rom the Emporia Republican,
G. A. Griffith, superintendent of reser-
voir, was in the city today. He says
coyotes are getting rather numerous
around the reservoir and are very tame,
coming up within twenty yards of the
house. They stay down by the rail-
road in a large weed patch in the day
time and make their appearance up the
reservoir about bed time, making the
night hideous with their yelps.
AS far as he is concerned they don't
bother him, but they make it mighty
unpleasant for the inmates Of Boylan-
vile.

Porto Rica'S Plea.

The interview with Delegate Larrinaga of
Porto Rico, which appears in the news col
umns today, puts the case Of the island
upon a basis of easy understanding. The
islanders want civil government and a mar
ket. They hope for free trade. not because
they believe the Constitution applies to
them of its own force, but because they be-
lieve that the United States will act equi-
tably toward them, and grant them this IN
spiration to feel in touch with the republic
Their present condition is deplorable and
demands immediate relief. Charity and
emergency measures will not reach the
vital issue or encourage capital or restore
activity to the plantations and prosperity
to the island. Permanence Is required
fixed laws and forms of government, defin-
lite tariff rates, if any at all, and a prospect
of assured employment for the people.
This is a reasonable proposition. and
should strengthen the case of the island in
the Senate. 1t will not do for the tariff fac
ton to declare that Porto Rico's Willingness
to sacrifice principle for a market to enable
it to live justifies the inequity of tariff
imposition. Free trade is required by every
consideration of fairness. of precaution, Of
shrewd political management. The r-pub-
Hcan party. by needing the voice of the
trade bill, will not only enshrine itself in
the respect AMI love of the Porto Ricans
but it will UNNECESSARILY strengthen its po-
sition at home.
The pleas uttered by representative Porto
Ricans such as this delegate are piteous in
their emphasis. Mr.. Larrinaga declares
that if they were not a Christian people
the Porto Ricans would welcome exterml-
nation in preference to the slow death of
trade depression and insecurity under MILL
tary government certain TO ensue. This
little island, he says. was self-supportiug
and affiuent before the American occupa-
ton, and with the least degree of consid-
crate legislation 1t could once again become
prosperous. with plenty of money for cur
rent expenses and for needed improve
ments. VIII the Senate crush this gem as
worthless thing, or cherish it as OF value
and beauty?

While the city is awaiting the abolition
of the grade crossings it is entitled to re-
ceive the very best possible treatment at
those danger points and to expect the rail-
roads to spare no efforts to make them safe
Yet the old story Of negligence and disaster
is being told with undiEninished frequency
Today a wagon was struck by train at
the F street crossing of the B. and o. road
because the gates were not lowered The
horse was killed, the wagon damaged and
two men were seriously injured. A month
ago. February ~, a coupe was struck at
the same place and demolished Thus it
appears that accidents do not sufficiently
" arm the company TO provide the necessary
safeguards or to take the essential pre-
cautions to see that the regulations are
observed. If accidents are not persuasive
enough prosecutions might perhaps secure
the desired end of keeping the corporal ion
up to standard of safety. Such prose-
cutions might profitably be based upon
these two accidents, which are so sugges-
tive in their similarity.

and four years later made another fight on
the question and was successful.
MIR. German will be a delegate to the
Kansas City convention. He will be in
favor OF straddle on the money question.
He considers the Chicago platform on that
question too extreme, Just as he considered
Mr. Clevelands free trade message too ex-
IRENE on the tariff question. VIII he again
be defeated? VIII the party stand UP for
free silver as 1t stood up then for free
trade? Mr.. Bryan. unlike Mr. Cleveland at
that time. is not trying to crawfish on the
issue which he has made his own. He
