BOODLING OFFICIALS.
MyrOn A. Waterman Discusses
WyandOtte Situation.

Argentine, Kan, Dec. 2.-Myron A.
Waterman addressed a mass meeting
last night in the Methodist church here
on THE Betterment of City and COun-
ty Conditions" Mr.. Waterman made
disclosures of corruptness that had
been carried on in this city, and urged
the citizens of Argentine to collect evil
dence of corruptness in that city and
bring it before the grand jury.
mo paving nor sewer contracts nor
franchises have been let in our city
with which highway robbery was not
connected" said Mr.. Waterman. so
prevalent has this been that boodl,ng
officials have stood upon the streets and
boosted of it as though their corrupt
practices were shrewd business trans
actions. For an example of this, Il
paving contractor completed a piece of
work in Arnourdale which was passed
as o. K by the paving inspector, and
was put before the city council for ac-
ceptance. The contractor was ap-
preached by a councilman who demand
ed 81 900 for the acceptance of the work
The man said the sum was too large
and refused to pay. Two other Off
Gals of the city went to him and In
formed him that unless the money was
forthcoming the work would not be &C
cepted. The contractor made an affi-
davit before a lawyer to the effect that
he had been called upon to pay the
money so that in case the work was
not allowed ana ne maze puDllC the
outrage no one could say it was for a
personal grievance.
7 have proof sufficient to know that
$40, 900 will not cover the steal on two
sewer contracts let by the council.
Enormous steals have been made in
the letting of other contracts and in
granting franchises to the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. When the
recent thirty-year franchise to that
company was being framed by the
committee of fifteen citizens appointed
by Mayor Craddock, Mr.. Corrigan and
his attorneys met with the committee
at all its meetings, while Mr.. McAnany,
the representative of the Mercantile
club and the voters. was not allowed
to be present. 1t was suggested by the
Mercantile club that the franchise be
granted on the mileage basis SO no
chance would be given for defrauding
the taxpayers, but this plan did not
meet the approval of Mr. Corrigan and
IL was changed. Ten minutes after the
passage of the franchise it was signed
by the mayor and soon after a num-
Der of meetings were held in the hotels
of Kansas City. No, where the guilty
parties to the passage of the franchise
gathered. They thought they could

position and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving away.
Gratitude and desire to help others have
inspired thousands Of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore
would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine
has it happened that SO many men of ma
tional and international reputation have
been willing to give unqualified and public
endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No
amount of advertising could have accom-
plished such a result. Peruna has won on
its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of
what ever phase or location in the human
body That is why it receives so many
notable and unique endorsements.

Wichita, Kan, Dec mayor Nc

next Thursday night, for the purpose
of considering further action on the rate
question. The mayor denies that it is

it is called for the purpose of becoming

line, and the best way to obtain them.

STATE EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

BY THE CHEMICAL SECTION OF THE
STATE EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
Within the past few years the by
products OF rice, especially rice bran,
have attracted wide interest among
the farmers and feeders Of the State.
The high cost Of wheat bran, corn.
and cotton seed meal and bulls has
made the feeder search for cheaper
products. Cotton seed meal Is even
now the most economical concentra-
ted feeding stuff on the market, but
IL Is a heterogeneous feed stuff which
must be fed with one furnishing a
large amount Of starches In order 10
make n balanced ration. The rice
mills claim that their products, poll
ish, bran ard "miXed feed, supply
IN n cheap form good substitutes or
addition products for the high priced
commercial feed stufIs named above.
With a view Of helping TO decide the
value OF these products, the EXperi-
mont station has made analyses Of
them and Is az present conducting
digestion and feeding experiments,
in order that their relative compost
ton, digestibility and feeding value
may become known. or course il is
not merely the feeding composition
Of feed stuff but the amount Of IL
which is digestible that gives its
value. When the digesubility has
not been determined by an actual eX-
pertinent. Il may still be approXima-
ted by comparing II 10 that Of some
other feed stuff of similar character,
the value OF which has been deter
mined. Itwould bee fair, for example,
to suppose that the digestibility Of
rice bran Is about that Of wheat bran.
Finally actual feeding tests are made
to decide definitely the relative value
of the various feed stutIs under spe-
cial aud varying conditions. The
