FIGURES ON COST TO GOVERNMENT

is entitled to call on the government
for funds necessary for a yearly state
encampment of all its troops. This is
outside of tie funds required to pay
the cost of sending troops to the
maneuvers at Fort Riley.
1t had been decided not to hold a
STAGE cncampment in Kansas this year
for the reason it was thought the men
would derive more benefit from actual
practice in the field in conjunction
with the regulars. Ii it is not possible
to send all the state troops to Fort
Riley, state encampment may be
held aud prizes offered for the best
drilled companies. A fnll regiment
may be made mp of tine prize winners
and sent to Fort Riley to participate
in the manervers.
1t was announced at the beginning
that the reason but one regiment of
militia would he sent to Fort Riley
from each state was because the funds
were not overplentiful. If 4 state en-
campmcnt is held and a provisional
regiment is formed to be sent to Fort
Riley the cost to the government will
be at least one-half greater than if the
entire body of the Kansas National
Guard had been allowed to attend the
maneuvers

DRAW MlLEAGE-USE PASSES.
Auditor Gets List of omciaIs who Hold
Passes.

Topeka, July 3o.-State Auditor Seth
Wells has under consideration plan
to deprive state boards and other en-
ployes from drawing mileage while
riding on passes. Quite a number of
subordinate officials draw mileage in
this manner. They include it in their
expense accounts and swear that it is
correct, due and remains unpaid. The
state auditor in the past has taken
their affidavit for it. AS long as they
swear that an account is correct, due
and remains unpaid he has issued
voucher for it. He isn't supposed to
know whether an official is travelling
on pass and lying about his expense
account under oath. But the auditor
is going to make complete list of
them and send it to tile railroad mana
ayers with the request that they check
off the passholders. Upon tho return
of the list the fireworks will begin.

NO HORNS ADMITTED TO SHOW
Range Men Propose to Lease B Tract Out
side the Grounds.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 3.-Secretary
agriculture, who has been "loaned" to
the st. Louis worlds fair to handle the
livestock exhibit, lately had bit of
difficulty with the range cattlemen of
the west. The owners of range cattle
wanted to exhibit whole herds of their
stock. Mr.. Coburn ruled that the eX-
position company could not allow such
an exhibition, because of lack of facil-
tiles. The entire exposition grounds
would hardly be sufficient to show off
properly drove of Texas loughorns,
for instance. The range men said they
could not make Il showing any other
way, and the controversy was carried
to the exposition managers, who sus-
tanned Mr.. Coburn's view of the mat
ter
The range men feel that there is a
discrimination against their kind of
stock. Possibly there will be a meet
ing of range men in Kansas City to
discuss plans for an exhibit, in which
event Mr.. Coburn will be invited to at
tend.
II is said that there is a piece of
ground not far from the exposition
tract which would be sufficient for a
limited number of range cattle. The
range men want to lease it and then
ask Mr.. Coburn to include their ex-
hibit in the general show.

Lowell. Mass, July 31.-Two small
gunpowder magazines situated among
residences of fifty mill operatives ex-
ploded and killed more than score of
people and injured nearly fifty others.
Six men who were loading kegs of
powder from one of the magazines
were blown to pieces; four boys 600
yards away were killed and fourteen
frame houses went down. Seven of
these houses caught fire, probably
from the kitchen stoves, and were con-
sumed. Seventy buildings were de-
stroyed, and windows were broken five

explosion is known. A can of nitro
glycerine was leaking and man
poured nitric acid upon the glyceriue,

What Was III

Friarpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One OF
the strangest cases ever reported oc-
Cured here recently. The son of Mr..
G. L. Butler was very i'll. The doc
tor said he had some disease of the
spinal cord. and treated him for two
months, but he grew worse all the
time, and finally the doctor told Mr..
Butler that he did not know what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out of the house, saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discour-
aged till one day he saw new rem
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills adver-
tised. and he at once bought some
and began to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be-
fore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. Mr.. Butler
says:
81 feel it my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs is fair
chance and it will speak for ITSELF"
