SENATOR COCERELL TELLS
OF INJURY TO FOOT IN '49.
Rural Practitioner Sci the Bones
With Mud and Another
Bandaged 1t With Vine

Washington, June Ito day
showed progress toward recovery for
Senator Cockrell. He has continued
to improve since Monday morning.
He has been resting well at night.
The correspondence OF the Senator,
always pretty heavy, has been In
creased by letters Of solicitude. To.
day he disposed of it and received
callers.
The General is very happy that his
injuries are progressing soiavorably.
His first thought was that his arm
had been crushed. Ever since the
doctors discovered that the injuries
were comparatively slight, he has
been congratulatlng himself.
To contrast modern methods with
those Of fifty years ago, Senator
Cockrell with manifest amusement
related to The Republic correspond.

right loot was painfully crushed,

ment accorded him by the country
<doctor, the Senator said "All he
did for that injury was to put a little
mud on It," At his home the family
doctor anointed the foot with vine
gar and bandaged it with cotton
rags.
He showed the Senator how to ap-
ply the vinegar and do the bandag.
ing, and no other treatment was ever
given the injured member. This in
jury kept the Senator around the
house for some months, but, once
healing, 1t never afterwards gave him
the least trouble. He added that he
did not know but that 1t changed the
whole course OF his life.
General Cockrell, looking at the
tightly bound arm and shoulder,
laughingly remarked that tho mod
ern physician would throw up his
hands In horror at such treatment,
thinking 1t shockingly crude and
cruel, sut he said: I'VE were used to
roughing it in those days, and for
that reason did not very much mind
such things"

Trust Beet Up to War Price.

New York, June 1S.-From four
teen to. fifteen cents a pound was the
wholesale price set to-day by the
meat trust for prime beef. twas the
highest rate charged, an old market
man declared, since the Civil War.
Not only that, he continued, but
the trust agents have been around
the market all day telling US that
there was little or no stock on hand
and that II we wanted any to sell We
had better lay In a supply, for un-
doubtedly prices would be even high.
er next week.
"Why, ordinary cattle to day cost
10Y cents a pound, and the trust is
getting 8 and 8 cents for old cows
that under normal conditions they
would be glad to get 3 cents apound
for"
The majority of dealers questioned
on this new raise In the price OF beef
contended that the recent steady ad-
vances have been due to the specula.
tive maaipulations OF the Chicago
packers, who control the meat sup.
plies ofthe country. These advances,
they say, have been made without
any regard for existing conditions

These are the warning feelings! Weak

upon their former pleasures, irritable,
cross, dull headaches, general dispirited
feeling, sleepless nights, cold feet, "bear-

indicate deranged and weakened organs.

MARCEL PLEADS GUILTY.

/. E. Marcel, the fraud banker at
Highland, decided to plead guilty
to forgery on five counts last week.
The maximum penalty is IS years
in the penitentiary and the mini
mum penalty is five years. The
first trial resulted in a hung jury.
One man stood out for acquittal
and he was arrested for perjury and
is now in Jail. The prosecution
claims to have evidence that he ex-
pressed an opinion before going in
TO the jury box.
Marcel's shortcomings are about
100000. If he serves about FIVE
years he will get off mighty light.
If he had stolen an old hen in the
night time it might have gone
harder with him.

telligent and awake the stocknen
of Kansas are. If they vote for
Walker and Wheatley they deserve

Even the republican papers-the
bitterly rabid ones-tell us that
they are for the railroads and
against the shippers all the time

JUDGE D. M. DALE of Wichita
whom the Democrats of Kansas
would like to nominate for govern
or, made a very able speech at
Cheney one day last week. Con-
corning his candidacy he said that
he would not like to make the race
unless he had reason to believe that
the people of this state have a de-
sire to elect other officers and leg
islature in accord with his views,
take the railroads and corporations
out of politics, enact laws in be-
half of the people and stop bood-
ling and corruption in the state
house. Judge Dale dealt with
state affairs in mastery way and
all who read or heard his speech
are now more thoroughly convinc-
ed than ever that he is the timber
the people of Kansas need in the
governors office.
