Disposal of carcnsses of Animals.

Unnecessary loss is often caused by
the mrthod in which farmers dispose
of carc;Ssos q animals dying from I'M

tile wo Is. az Il distance from the
house. and leave it unburied Crows,
hawEs. Skunhs. foxes and dogs have Il
feast and leave nothing but the bones
In case Che animal died Of Il contagious

widespread trouble through the neigh
borhood, the germs being carried by
the dogs ana animals which ate the
carcass When it cannot be buried
deeply, the body should be burned by

FOR ONE REPUBLIC.
President of Honduras Wants to Unite
Central American States.

San Francisco, March 20.-Domingo
Vasques, one time president of Hon
duras, has arrived in this city. He left
here a few weeks ago on the Chilean
liner Tucapel to make a visit to some
Central American ports, and during the
interim he has had very lively expe-
rience. When the Tucapel touched at
Corinto Nicaragua, he was taken from
the vessel BY order of President Zeiaya
and locked up in Jail. He faced charges
of sedition and insurrection, and on
February Is the government authorities
released him on his promise to leave
the country at the first opportunity.
1t is the ambition of CasqueZ to form
one republic of the Central American
countries. and he makes no secret of it,
though he disclains being a revolu-
zionist.

SYMPATHY FOR BOERS.
Democrats Decide to Force Con-
sideratiOn of the Subject.

Washington, March 20.-The Demo-
cratic members of the house, at eau
Gus held last night, unanimously adopt
ed resolutions declaring that congress
should express the sympathy of the
American people for the struggling
Boer republics and pledging themselves
to use their utmost endeaVors to force
the committees to report resolutions ex-
preSSive OF such sympathy, if only that
congress may have an opportunity to
act
Representative Hay, of Virginia, pre-
sided at the caucus and Representa-
tive Robertson, of Louisiana, acted as
secretary. The attendance was large.
There was no division of sentiment as
to the course to be taken. the question
presented being simply one of choice
between two resolutions, one offered by
by Mr. Sulzer, of New York. The Sui
ger resolution was as follows:
of representatives. of the United States of
America, in caucus assembled, that we
sympathize with the Beers in their heroic
dependence, and protest, in the name of
humanity. and civilization. against the
continuation of a which outrages the
feelings of all interviewing people, and
that We shall use our best efforts to have
the congress of the United states, being
committed to the principles of arbitration
for the settlement of international dis
putes, request the president to urge upon
the government of his majesty the wisdom
of adopting this policy for the purpose of
stopping the awful atrocities now going
on in South Africa, and that the govern
ment of the United States should maintain
a strict neutrality between the contending
forces.
The Randall resolution was as follows:
Resolved, BY the Democratic members
of the house of representatives of the Uni
ted States of America, in caucus assem-
bled, that the congress of the United
States should, by resolution, express the
sympathy of the people of the United
States fer the people of the South African
republic and the Orange Free State in
their heroic struggle to maintain their lib
erty and independence.
Resolved, That the congress should. in
the spirit of anlity and friendship, appeal
to the British government, in the interest
of humanity. to accept overtureS for peace.
cease hostilities and endeavor to bring
about just and honorable settlement of
existing differences, to the end that peace
may be established.
Resolved, That the United States should
fairly and honorably maintain a position
of strict neutrality in this contest between
nations friendly to us, and see to it that
the neutrality laws are vigorously and inn
partially enforced
Resolved. That we as Democrats and
representatives of the people, will use our
utmost endeavor to force the committees
now dominated by the Republican party.
having in their charge resolutions similar
to these, to report the same to the house
so that the congress may give expression
thereon, declaring the sentiments and will
of the American people.

OFFICIALS IN CONFERENCE.
Rock Island and Southern Pacific
Officials at Ell Paso.

General Attorney NJ A Low of the
Rock Island railroad, of Topeka, to-
gether with President Leeds, General
Manager Hit of Chicago, Superintend-
ent of Lines West of the Missouri
River c. H. Hubben Car Service Agent
c. F. Drew and Assistant Car Service
Agent H. +. Huber are in rEl Paso to-
day in conference with officials of the
Southern Pacific, among whom are
President L. H. Hartman, Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager ]. c. Stubbs,
Vice President j. Kruttschnitt. H. A
Jones, freight traffic manager in Texas,
Vice President Markham of the Sunset
Central system, and w. G. VanVleck,
manag ger of the Atlantic system of the
Southern Pacific lines.
There is a quite general belief that
this conference of railroad men has an
important significance, and that it has
a direct bearing upon the struggle for
mastery that is now on between the
various roads competing for transcon-
tinental business. 1t is quite generally
believed the conference is to strengthen
agreements between the Southern Pa
cific and the Rock Island.
The Southern Pacific officials also
hold a conference among themselves in
FL Paso today on the general affairs
of the properties in Texas, probably
having to do with the consolidation of
the Hartman interests, although this is

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

''Side Tracked which was seen at
the Crawford last night by a select few,
(selected at random), should have been
sidetracked at Tonganoxie. The few
good features and many laughable an
tics of julie Walters, Hobo, were hasti-
ly smothered under pile of alleged
heavy" work. The company was
small, but should have been smaller.
One man with five names and an equal
number of parts takes turns as the
father of the alleged heroine, an Irish
policeman, railroad laborer. a switch
man, and lastly the justice of the peace
who tries the hero for killing him in
the first act, while he was the parent of
Miss Heroine. 1t is believed he draws
the salary of only one actor which is a
manifest injustice. The show should be
sidetracked, the switch locked and the
key thrown away.

THEY STEEL CHEW AND sMoKE
Frisco Men Say That the Recent Rule
Can't Be Enforced.

The Columbus Courier says: Not very
long ago the Frisco issued an order to
trainmen and depot employees stating
that the use of tobacco would be pro-
hibited during working hours. Many
jocular remarks We're the only result.
The employees smoke and chew as of
old and there seems to be no attempt
to enforce the order.
An employe in Joplin was noticed
with a good Old Virginia three-for-f1ve,
and his attention was called to the fact
that an order had been issued which
made it against the rules of the COM
pany for an ernploye to smoke while
when the fellows who made the rule,
smoke while on duty and while in the
depots and trains, they cannot hope to
prevent those in lower positions to OBJ
serve the ORDER

Marconi's Scheme.

Tt is reported that Marconi has an
nounced that he has a plan of apply
ing his wireless telegraphy so that
trains approaching each other may be
notified of the coming danger, and. if
effect, it will be the greatest inven-
ton of the age in a railroad way. The
theory is to arrange a bell or signal
ton when the train comes within range
of the mysterious current which will
be so set that it will reach for half
mile He even goes farther and says
that it may be possible to make a di-
rect connection with the air apparatus
so that the train will be stopped with
out any human assistance when it
comes within the danger zone.
