The Missouri Dairy Association
heard some interesting testimony
about the influence of music on kick
ing cows. One man had an animal SC
vicious that she always had to be tied
into the stall at milking time. His
two boys noticed that whenever they
began to sing at their work. the COW
became quiet. Now. instead Of tying
her, whoever is milking merely strikes
up Annie Rooney" or MY Old Ken
,tucky Home" and the cow stands per-
fectly still. Another delegate said
that in Switzerland farm workers who
have good voices get better pay be-
cause they can milk the widest and
most restless cows. The sense of the
meeting" however, was expressed by
a farmer. who said: at may be all
right to sing to a kicking cow, but
want to keep my eye on her feet. She
might take a notion to dancel to the
music"

army officers. The amount pf furni-

Merits OF chocolate as food for
troops in the fields appear to be be-
coming rapidly and widely appreci-
ated. In the recent autumn maneuvers
of the Austrian army in Galicia a
chocolate ration was found to be equal
to about five times its weight of the
primest beef. From Russia also came
equally favorable reports respecting
the use of chocolate and now in Amer

1t is centended by lne organ of the

allow time for mining. A fortress
will, it is affirmed. be captured by

most cases by combination of the

Colorado's Debt.

Senate Bill No. 22S, by Senator Sci
domridge. providing for n constitution
al amendment to take care of the in
debtedness of the state. gives state
ment of the debt already accrued.
The first part of the proposed amend
ment is to provide against the pilins ur
of another. such debt as that which
now faces the state, and the second
part provides for the payment of the
entire debt which now exists.
1t is set forth in section l that the
state shall not contract any debt excepi
| for the purpose of erecting public
| buildings for the use of the state, tt
suppress inSurrection, defend the state
| or, in time of war, to assist the nation
al government. The present constitu
| tion is construed by many to provide
for the same thing, but instead Of par
| ticulnrly setting forth that moneys
shall be expended for the state by tht
governor only in times of war and in
surrection, 1t adds Ceases of emer
gency," which has been construed by
| governors to cover all manner Of eN
| penses and deficiencies. The expresi
| language of Senator SeldomridgeI
amendment will leave no doubt abou

| The bill further proposes that the
debt In any one year for public buyf
ings shall not exceed one half milfl0r
each dollar of valuation of taxable
property within the slant. 1t is further
proposed that it shall not be Lawful
for the General Assembly to appropri
ate money except for instructions and
war, in excess of the revenue for thu
preceding two years. At present ap
preparations are made on anticipated

PREPARING IN WASHINGTON.
To Receive the Body of the Martyred
President.

spect to the memory Of President Nc
Kinley and preparations were begun
for receiving the body of the Presi-

the public ceremony. The historical
state catafalque, stored at the capitol,
is being put into condition.

half masted early this morning and on
the big front door was posted the
printed card, CLOSED" The white
shades of the east room were drawn
over the windows and the public was
not admitted to the building.

Mckinley and eventually of the family
of the new President a large force of
workmen is engaged in preparing the
White House for occupancy.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Out of respect to
the memory of William Mckinley, and
to allow the police additional opportu-
nifty of investigating a case which is
now of the most serious character, a
recess till Tuesday in the anarchist
case was ordered to-day by Judge
Chetlain. Mr.. Geeting, counsel for
the anarchists in the habeas corpus
case, made the motion for a recess
when court opened. He said:
"Since the adjournment of court yes
terday we have heard with deep regret
that the President is dead. Upon a
conference of counsel this morning we
considered that not only out of respect
to the dead, but in justice to the liv-
ing, this trial should be postponed I'M
til Monday.
1--WE Immediately communicated our
views to the prisoners and they hearth
ly Endorsed our position. While the
President lived, they desired their lib
erty, but now, as he is dead, they say
they are willing to remain where they
are for 4S hours, and give the public
authorities ample opportunity to inves-
tigate. Then we will desire a hearing,
both upon the law and the evidence,
and will ask their final discharge"
Opposing counsel suggested that
Tuesday be made the day for recon
vening court, and in this the Judge
concurred, stating that there was
already a move on foot to close all
the courts Monday out of respect to
the memory of the nations dead chief.
Assistant City Prosecutor Owens
stated to-day that since the death of
the President the conspiracy charge
against the anarchists has become
much more serious. While the Pres
ident lived the charge against them
was a misdemeanor, but now that he
is dead, under the laws of Illinois, IL
il can be shown that they conspired
to produce his death and aided and
abetted the murder. they are equally
guilty with Czolgosz.
