Kansas City, May 5.vThe big pack
ing houses have made such incoads
into the business OF packing and ship
ping eggs and poultry for consumption
in eastern markets that the business of
the small shippers in this part of the
west is threatened with disaster ac-
cording to members of the produce
dealers association OF Oklahoma and
Kansas which met here to consider the
situation. These men assert that the
poultry dealers are compelled to pay
higher rates than the packers for
shipments of dressed poultry to the
seaboard. ''The produce dealers of
the west" one dealer is quoted as say
ing, must combine against the pack
ers, for an important industry is being
ruined"

Lucky the sufferer from nervous diseases whose symptoms are as plainly marked as those of MT. Powell, as given below. Too often the symptoms are mistaken tor some derangement of the digestive organs and the wrong treatment administered and continued until too late to make a change beneficial. Too many doctors make the mistake of trying to cure the symptoms instead of the disease. Dr. Miles Nervine goes to the seat ot the trouble, strengthens the nervous system, puts life and vigor into every muscle, every hbre, every tissue, every nerve cell. There IS noth- ing so good for the nerves as Nervine.
 About four years ago suffered from pains around my heart, and after the least exertion it would palpitate in such manner as-to cause me much distress. l had feeling of oppression in my chest, was nervous, could not sleep, lost my appetitite and flesh, had pains in back and shoulder, my food did not digest and I could not eat anything without causing distress. My feet were cold at times and became exceedingly weak and all run down. tried ten different doctors, one or two of whom gave me temporary reiiet. tin- ally 1 saw that Dr. Miles Restorative Ner- vine was advertised to cure sufferers from such nervous disorders as mine and procured a bottle. l am now permanently cured and cannot say enough for the Restorative Ner- ine"-H.

Clusters of Brilliant Gems Now Worn

 At recent performance at Mrs. os- born's theatre in New York City wo- man prominent in the smart set" made a startling effort to introduce a new fad in rings As she raised her opera glasses to scan the house from her box it was seen-it could not help but be seen-that she wore on the little finger of her left hand cluster ring of brilliant diamonds surrounding an enormous pearl The ring was one to excite attention in it. self, but what made it a startling feature of the lady's appearance was the fact that it was worn outside the white kid glove. As to the woman's position in the inner circle of the smart set'' there Is no question. = She has influence, audacity and force. Though no longer in her first youth. she is always perfectly groomed and no debutante can boast more exqui- site or more expensive toilets.
 It has been regarded as the limit" to wear rings over the gloves. It is con- sidered worse than wearing diamonds at the breakfast table. That is infinitely more convenient to put them on over the glove than to put tight glove over them has nothing to do with the case, of course. None but woman strongly in trenched in a social position could have dared to do 1t The question Is, Will she set a fashion?

 Atchison (Kans.) Special to Washington
 The recent election in Kansas fore shadows a very interesting Senatorial contest at the meeting of the legislature next January. The Republicans hav- ing carried the State, the reelection of Senator Harris is out of the question, and there are four prominent Republican candidates for his seat They are the present Governor. w. E. Stanley and three Congressmen--Chester l. Long, Charles Curtis and W. A. Calderhead-- with the possibility of Governor-elect W. J. Bailey as a dark horse.
 The Republicans will have ninety-three representatives in the House, of which number Curtis will have the support of about thirty for Senator. Calderhead has fifteen. and the remainder are divided between Long and Stanley, with the ad- vantage in favor of Lopg- Of. thirty-three Republican votes in the Senate, Curtis has five or six. with the other divided between Long and Stanley. The chances are that should Stanley be eliminated, more will go to Long than Curtis.
 Should the support of each of the four candidates develop staying qualities, neither will have enough to elect, in which case an absolute deadlock would result, Tn which w. J. Bailey would be the solu- tion. The Republicans can consistently unite on Bailey, who ran ahead of his ticket at the late election and carried the State by the largest majority Kansas has given any candidate since Benjamin liar rison carried the State by S2,0O0

UNCLE sAd's REINDEER HERD
Dr. Jackson Reports That it is Stead
 fly Increasing.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 pr Sheldon Jackson. the Bureau of Ed ucation Chief, who has charge of Uncle Sam's herd of reindeer in Alaska has just returned from six months visit to that far-off region. He reports that the herd is in excellent condition. and that 1t is steadily increasing in number There were 1,600 births in the herd last spring, so that the total number of ani- mals now under the charge of the Gov ernment amounts to over 5000.
 It has only been about five years since the United States imported the first deer from Siberia for the benefit of the Es- kimos. Formerly the natives had little in the way of steady occupation during the Winter months. The reindeer were imported and loaned to them by the Gov ernment to give them a start in raising herds of their own. Rules were adopted regulating the use of the deer.
 An Eskimo was required to serve five years apprenticeship under the direction of an expert. During that time he learned how to care for the animals in sickness and health, and was instructed in the numerous uses to which they could be put. At the end of his five years of ser vice. the Government would assign ten or fifteen fine deer to the charge of the native, permitting him to keep the young that might be born, and returning the original animals at the end of a few years. In this way a great many Eski- mos have been started in the business of herding. and the industry is carried on just as that of cattle raising on our Western plains.
 The animals furnish food and clothing for the natives, and, besides are used as beasts of burden. Last Spring Dr. Jack son visited Siberia for the purpose of buy tng deer to add to the Alaska herd He bought llfty-two animals from the Kori- aks, snatives of Siberia, paying an aver age of about Sl0 apiece. Dr. Jackson says that the imported deer thrive splendidly in their new home. finding just the proper kind of food they need in the luxurious Alaska moss
 Dr. Jackson stopped some time at Nome on his return home He, says that the crowd has thinned out greatly at that
