HORSES DYING.
Cp in Johnson County Strange Dis
ease is Taking Them Oh.

warrensburg Journal Democrat
J.W. Wall and wife were in War
rensburg Monday from their farm in
ChilLOwee township. He informed
the I'D. that a strange disease has
broken out among the horses on the
farm. During the last few weeks he
has lost four good animals, and
Frank Byers, who lives on his farm,
lost two. DR.. McLevy, OF Warrens-
burg. was called out to see Walls
horses, but was unable to determine
the trouble. Mr.. Wall sent for DR..
Bills when the last one died and a
post norton examination was held.
They were unable to find the source
Of trouble.
When horse or mule Is taken with
the disease they at once begin to act
in a very strange manner, exhibiting
none OF the symptoms usual to a sick
horse. II confined or tied they rave
aud pound themselves to death. ~
running loose, they keep going in a
straight lire, regardless OF all obsta-
cles. Should a tree be in their way
and they butt square into it, OF
course, they stop and take n new
track. But II they hit tree to the
side OF center, the animal is likely to
set It's shoulder against the tree or
other obstacle and attempt to shove
it out of the way. 1t will keep push
ing until it slips by, when it will go
on till 1t hits something else.
Acouple Of dead animals are mules.
They seem to be affected slightly diff
ierent. The mules go around in a
circle and try to hide themselves.
The disease has not made LIS ap-
pearance off OF Mr.. Wallis farm, and
there is great deal Of mystery sur
rounding the matter.

How the Consumers Pay the Fines

From Bryan's Commoner.
The st. Paul Daily News calls at
tention to the fact that the five big
packing concerns that were recently
fined for violating the Missouri anti
trust laws, have raised the price OF
beef to butchers from S. so to $3.50
per hundred pounds. This upon the
meat sold by the packers amounts
to a great deal more than the fines.
1t only shows that a monopoly, as
long as it is allowed to exist, can
transfer to the people any burden
placed upon it. The only kind of
punishment that cannot be transfer
redis imprisonment. When we begin
toput trust magnates in the peniten-
tiary, the trusts will break up and
not before.

TRUST EVILS.

As the most alarming features Of
our present conditions are the evils
which come from trusts, and as these
evils are made possible by legislation
iavoring one class and against an
other by transportation privileges
and by monopoly OF original sources
Of supply OF natural products, there
fore, to the end that the evils con,
|nectsd with the growth oitrusts may
be eliminated, we call for the remov
al OF the tariff from all trust made
goods, and demand that all tariff
schedules be adjusted with a view to
tariff for revenue only.
We ask for such changes in our
laws, statutory and constitutional,
as will limit the charges by railroads
to such an amount as will yield only
a reasonable return on the capital
actually invested and will render it
impossible for transportation iavors
to be granted to any one, and such
as will make it certain that all rail
way companies will be treated alike,
such statutes to provide penalties
that will be effectual to secure a com
pliance with them.
When the source of supply OF any
product are in the ownership OF those
who combine to eXtort from the
people an unreasonable amount for
such products, then We believe it il
the iu'y Of the government to take
such steps as may he necessary t."
secure an equitable distribution
hereof, with fair compensation to
the owners Of the same. And SO thai
the design OF nature in making pro
visions for the wants OF man may
not be perverted into means OF his
oppression
The platform as it relates to state
affairs, calls for economical govern
ment equitable taxation Of corporate
and private property, the purchase
OF supplies from the lowest bidder,
the substitution OF a local option for
the present mulct law, and state aid
in the building OF permanent high
ways. The Louisiana Purchase Elk

MARKED MEN.
Kentucky Feudists Warned That They,
Too, Are Objects Of Special
Attention.

From the Louisville COurier-JOGrnal.
1t has been the-custom Of the ruling
outlaws OF Breathitt county to main
tain their power not only by holding
and prostituting to their desperate
ends the Offices, but by threatening
to murder, and carrying out their
threats, those who refuse to do their
bidding.

so honest and courageous as to dis
please them they marked" him for
assassination and he was thereafter
known as a marked man." who's
doom was sealed. And sooner or
later the sentence thus passed upon
him without Judge or jury was exc
cuted. Those who passed it bided
their time until they could drop him
by bullet fired either from ambush
or behind his back in the sight o.
witnesses whose silence OF perjury
they commanded by threats of a
similar fate.

Mr.. Carmody laughed uproariousiy,


"You gentlemen planned to pay

thank you for it," he said. 'It is

grew in size, if not in beauty. Her
hull was divided into eight compart-
ments, and these were sheathed and
made as air-tight as possible. On
top of them they built a 24-foot cabin
with storeroom and some rude
hunks. From opposite ends of the
cabin arose two short masts. At
night they worked on the sails, and
finally produced two triangular ones,
sewed together from the window
awnings which had been found in the
bungalow. These were rugged lateen
wise, with a long yard fashioned
from a bamboo pole. 1t was decided
to abandon the lookout on the rock,
and to concentrate the entire work
ing force on the boat. A long oar
was pivoted at the rear to serve as
a rudder, and an extra one was made
for use in case of accident. On the
bow they constructed clumsy but

Mr.. Pence and Mr.. Haven were at

had been across the bay since Mon

had not been there the preceding day.
1t was large white flag and could
not have escaped notice.
Lets investigate this" said Sid
ney. "It is well to be cautious"
He went to the bungalow and
brought back four rifles. Mr.. Kent,
Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Vincent were
selected to accompany him and they
were soon on the raft and down the
bay. They circled around the rock
from a distance, but saw no sign of

Kent and will keep a lookout"
Mr.. Morton and Vincent pushed the
raft forward and they swung in back
of the rock. 1t was low tide. The
first thing that attracted their atten-
ton was 15-foot yawl or dingy, well
up on the shore, with it's painter
wrapped around a tree. This boat
was brand new; not a scratch show
ing on it's vanished sides. The
handles of its four oars showed no
traces of having been used. 1t was
such a boat as four men could safe

Two of the boxes we're heavy, and
water was dripping from them. An
examination showed that they were
packed with ice. There were Is boxes
The yawl was pushed into the water
and loaded with as much of the
freight as could safely be carried.
The remaining boxes were placed on
the raft. The beach being clear-the
tide was ut it's cbb-Nlr. Haven and
MIR. Morton walked along the cliffs
and back to camp. Sidney rowed the
yawl and Vincent took charge of the
raft. Aided by favoring breeze, he
made good time. The boxes were de-
posted on the deck of "The Jump
ing Jupiter" and opened. There was
lively curiosity concerning their con-
tents. The first box yielded several
hundred pounds of choice cuts of
steak, and roasts of beef. The second
one contained an assortment of legs
Of lamb and other fresh meats. These
were at once taken to the storehouse.
The meat was in excellent condition
and would keep fresh for many days.
There were crates filled with vege-
tables, lettuce, Strawberries, radishes,
and all the garden luxuries Of that
season of the year. 1t was tempt
ing array, and l.. Sylvester Vincent
was in his glory. Then there were
cases of champagne, box filled with
pickles, table sauces, oils, etc. There
was a supply of fresh meat and vege-
| tables sufficient to last IL week or ten
days, even if the castaways used
nothing from the boundless resources
of the island.

number of new books and n varied as
sortment of May publications. In tho
bottom of the box were copies of
newspapers. There was a rush for
these papers.
There were copies of the New
| York papers dated from May 2d to

addition to these were copies of Chi

This suggestion was agreed to, and
Vincent carried the precious box to
the bungalow. The news from the

CHAPTER XX.-CONTINUED.
"They must see the white flag on
this cliff" he said to himself. They
were not three miles away. Mr..
Carmody stood on the highest point
and waved his handkerchief. Near
GRAND nearer came the ship. He fired
the rifle again and again. Could they
sec him? Would they understand?
He plainly saw the lifeboats and the
chart house of the oncoming vessel.
Flor masts rocked gracefully in the
futter in the fresh breeze. The
bow swung to starboard; the long
hull of the ship stood for moment
broadside to the shore; the huge
sails Topped in the wind as she
"came about" they fattened as the
shp obeyed the rudder; the masts
careened and steadied; the foam
showed white at her bows, and the
ship stood away to the northeast
on starboard tack. Mr.. Carmody
saw the wheelman without the aid
OF glass, and could see the faces
of the sailors as the ship stood
bruacside the moment before she
again went out to sea.
"They are scoundrels to pay no
heed to a flag of distress!" he said
aloud as the ship swiftly receded,
and at last became a mere speck in
the northeastern horizon. 1t was q
sad awakening from a happy dream.
Alas!. how often we sail proudly by
the futtering rags of DISTRESS! Life's
marooned are on islands in every me-
tropolis. The battered hull<s of hui
mauity go down in sight and hearing
OF prosperous voyagers. Storm
tossed sailors, unable to breast life's
tesnpestuous seas, perish on society's
coasts, and no lifeboat puts out from
shore. The wrecl1er burns his false
lights along the rocks.
The Indignation Of Mr.. Carmody
was shared by his companions, but
they regarded it as hopeful sign
that two ships already had been seen
from the rocks. This proved be-
yond doubt that these waters were
frequented by traffic, and there was
q CAeuSc tliiI SOule generous SKIPPER
might recognize their flag of dis
tress.
Sunday was observed as a day of
rest. No work, other than the rou-
tine of housekeeping was performed.
In the afternoon Sidney and Mr.. Kent
visited the park and brought back a
fresh stock of bananas. On the pre-
ceding day Mr.. Kent had shot fine
deer, and the Sunday dinner was
excellent. Mr.. Rockwell read aloud
chapter from the Bible, and made
short address, in which he said
they had reason to thank Providence
for having protected them in many
perils on land and sea. He followed
with an earnest prayer, in which
he returned thanks to God for His
manifold blessings and invoked His
assistance in their future undertake
ings.
