WORK BEGINS.
Santa Fe Shop Canvassers Are
Now Busy.
People Should Understand I'm
pOrtance of Proposition.

The work Of canVassing the city to
secure the pledges of the voters to sup
port a proposition next year to vote
bonds to reimburse the people who ad-
vance the money for the shop site now,
was actively begun this morning, and
win be rapidly pushed during the next
three days. It is desired to complete
it by Wednesday night in order that a
report may be made at that time to the
regular May meeting of the CONNER
cial club.
1t will greatly facilitate the work of
the canvassers If voters who find the
blank pledges at their homes tonight
will fill them out and leave them to
be collected by the canvassers tomor-
row. If the pledges are not filled out
the canvassers will have to go over the
same territory three times.
1t would be almost impossible for
the city of Topeka to secure a better
business proposition than that which it
Will secure in the new Santa Fe shops,
even though the shops should not bring
a single additional person to Topeka.
It would be good business on a basis
of taxation alone.
If it takes $4,000 to purchase the site
for the shops, which will be the limit
the interest on the bonds for that sum
would amount to S2.S00 per year at 4
per cent. The additional shops will cost
at least $500 Shawnee county prop
erty is assessed at 80 per cent of it's
actual value so that the assessed Valu-
allOn OF the shops would be at least
$4,000. The TAX rate is approximately
AZ per cent, which would turn into the
county treasury every year S7,7S5 on the
new shops alone. making a net profit
to the county of S5,075 per year.
If the bonds We're to run 20 Years
this profit would amount in that time
to over 100000, or far more than ENOUGH
to pay off the principal, and the sboDs
would still continue to turn in their
taxes to the city.
But in addition to the new sbons
their erection viii probably cause the
building Of enough houses to amount to
half as much more. and the taxes On
these would largely swell the other
sum. And then all these new improve
ments viii cause every other piece OF
property in the city to advance in va1ue
and this advance cannot be estimated
A few investments of this chara etc,
would greatly lessen the burden ot
taxes on the people in general, instead
of increasing it, as would appear al
first glance.
But these investments are only 2

NEGLECT OF DUTY.

News From the Various State
House Departments.

The old political question os state
sovereignty has been revived in a con-
troversy between the Kansas live stock
sanitary commission and the federal
bureau Of animal industry, the Kansas
organization claiming the right to reg
ulate the shipment Of cattle into this
state.
Governor Stanley's board has made
and filed charges against the federal in
spector, W. s. Jordan, at Quanah, Texs
claiming that Jordan is incompetent
and that he has admitted to Kansas
cattle covered with the ticks which are
productive Of Texas or splenetic fever.
For years there has not been abSo-
lutte harmony between the live stock
commissions of Kansas and the federal
department which has charge of sim
liar business. Annually there are quar-.
rels about infected cattle, but never be-
fore have these quarrels approached the
dignity of an open hight to Secure the
removal of a government Inspector.
The members of the kansas cofnniS-

in this matter, and they seem to have
the backing not only Of the governor
but a large proportion Of the cattle

AGAINST aaUAoKs.n
Supreme Court Makes Decision At
feeling Them.

The state board of health believes
that the decision of the supreme court
Saturday in a so-called "quack'' case
is one which will establish a precedent
of value to the board in proceeding
against men who are practicing medi-
cine without having diplomas from
recognized schools of medicine.
A prosecution Of a doctor at Hays
City resulted in, a decision by the dis
trict court that a man who had been
ten years in practice either prior or fol-
lowing the enactment of the law which
the proceedings were had was entitled
to remain in possession Of his business
free from the operation OF the law regu-
lating the practice of medicine.
The supreme court reversed the de-
cision, and holds that to avail them
selves of the provisions Of the law men
engaged in the practices of medicine
must have been so engaged for a pc
riod of ten years prior to the passage
of the law, and sent the case back for
another trial.
The decision Of the supreme court
settles an important question and
| causes the officers of the board cs
health to believe that they win now
be able to put a number of Quacks cut
| of the business in this state.

midway, which includes one of Hagen
backs big trained animal shows. The
company is known as the Oriental
American Midway Carnival company
1t has to make jump all the way from
Charlotte, North Carolina, to reach To-

People who attended the Worlds fair,
and saw Hagenback's show there will
know about what this show will be.
There will be the lions and tigers train
ed to walk on rolling balls and do all

hibit purposes have been taken, and the
applications continue to pour in. If il
is necessary the original plat of the fair

GRINsTEAD's PARDON.
Seems to Be Little Indication of Gov
ernor Granting It.

There is no probability that Governor
Stanley will pardon Pool Grinstead.
One of the rules which the governor
has followed in applications for par
dons is that the applicant must have
the endorsement of the presiding judge
and the prosecuting attorney.
Judge Stuart has previously expressed
the opinion that Grinstead's sentence is
in conformity With the law and evl-
dence, and it's as good as a 100 to
shot that neither Stuart nor the prose
cutting attorney will recommend Grin
stead's pardon.
Unless the governor should abrogate
this rule which he has followed in ali
other cases, there is no hope for Grin
stead'S release until he has served his
time.

RAT-PRooF CORN CRIB.

Breeders Gazette.
A farmer who has been tormented with
rats in the corn crib has outwitted the
cunning rodents by simply covering the
inside of his corn crib with heavy three
eighth-inch mesh wire netting from be-
low the floor to the roof If the doors
are kept shut the corn will come out in
the spring as bright and clean as 1t went
In in the fall previous. In putting on the
wire use no sideboarding at all, but
fasten the wire with staples to 2x4 posts,
set edgewise, twelve or fourteen inches
apart. This would save the expense Of
siding and allow air to- circulate through
the crib.
The dimensions of the crib would be
three to three and ,one-half feet in width
at the bottom, and both sides to slant
outward and upward, at an angle of sew
enty degrees, the tops Of the posts to be
strongly nailed to the rafters, whether
the roof Is to be of single or double
slant. The ends Of the crib must be
made tight, with a tight-fitting door or
doors, which must of course always be
closed when no one is in or around the
crib. The crib should be twenty-to TWEEN
ty-f1ve inches from the ground. AS an
extra precaution, the wire netting may be
put between the two thicknesses of floor
boards, but If properly built that would
probably be unnecessary. The crib
should be at least six feet high between
the floor and the roaf.., This crib ought
to last a lifetime and not a bushel Of
corn destroyed, provided the enemy is not
introduced in loads of corn hauled from
the field or from other carelessnesS

CUTTING HOG MEAT.

Wishing to save others so much
trouble and loss, as many of your read
ers have had with their meat, 1 give you
my experience for two years past Last
year I tried a part of my meat by the
boraX method and this year all of it.
killed my hogs early in December, and
cut the meat out and spread it, some for
over two nights, and some over three,
according to size of meat, to let it. get
cold to the bone. Much meat is lost by
sailing it down too soon-before the AMI
NAL heat is all out. This is sure to
spoil It, Let it stay in salt from three to
six weeks, according to size of pieces.
I then washed 1t well in warm water
and set it up endwise to drain, and while
damp, but not too wet, I busted the
joints well on the flesh side and in the
hooks with powdered borax. I then hung
the meat in the top OF my smoke house;
1t hung there all year and some is yet
hanging there, and there was never nicer,
better meat, and there has not been
single bug or worm of any kind on or
about it all the year. There never was
smoke under or about it. Smoke does no
good, except to keep off flies, and the
borax will do that. Meat saved this way
is as nice as can be, and it saves 50
much trouble and work and loss used
borax in yeast powder box, with the
top perforated with little holes. No need
to dust the sides; worms never trouble
them. Use plenty of salt.
