A MILLION INVOLVED.
Judge Mcpherson Issues an Injunction
In Burnes Case.

Kansas City, June 2S-Judge Smith
Mcpherson in the federal court here to-
day issued a temporary injunction to
restrain proceedings in the probate
court at st. Joseph, Mo, to declare
Mary V. Burnes insane. Miss Burnes,

three million Burnes estate at St.

The petition upon which the injunc-
ton was granted asserts that a recent
move made by James A. Gibson, public
administrator of Buchanan county, Mo,
to have Miss Burnes declared insane
Was the result of a conspiracy. The de-
PENDANTS include Judge A. NJ Woodson,
Democratic nominee for judge of the

SEES FATAL DEFECT.
Senator Bailey Does Not Approve of
the Meat Bill.

washington, June 23.-That there is
q. fatal defect in the meat inspection
provision of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill. as it came from the house Of
representatives is the opinion Of Sena-
tor Bailey as expressed IN the senate
today when consideration of Senator
Proctor's motion to send the bill to
conference was resumed.
He based his criticisms on the clause
relating to the inspection Of stock en-
tering the packing houses. saying that
il gives a police supervision that the
federal government cannot exercise.
He suggested that the provision should
be made to read SO as to make 1t un-
lawful to transport from one state to
another any beef or beef products
that have not been inspected as pro
vided for by law.
He contended that the provision as It
stands is not so worded as to make
it conform to the constitutional proVls-
ion concerning interstate commerce.
The inspectors could never determine
which of the cattle, sheep or swine
are to go into interstate commerce and
he predicted there would be another
explosion and another agitation when
the matter is taken into the courts as
he had no doubt It would II there was
no amendment.
Mr.. Bailey expressed himself as anxi-
GUS to secure the most drastic .lnspec-
ton because he said he was SaJSHeu
that nothing less would restore conf1-
dence and save the beef business from
almost utter annihilation.
Senator Beveridge said that under the
form suggested by Mr.. Bailey the inspec-
ton would still have to be conducted at
the packing houses and urged Lnat the
change would not alter the case.
The interests OF the cattle grower were
presented by Senator W arren. he con-
tended that the government should pay
the cost of the Inspection ana SAID Ihat II
the cost should be assessed against the
packing houses they would simply trans
IAN imputation upon the legislators to
come after u.s. to suggest that future
congresses will not Increase the 5000 600
appropria ton If it is found necessary. He
called attention to the fact that the gov
eminent had appropriated Tor the gypsy
moth determination and other plaques.
Chairman Proctor of the agriculture
happy one as one of the evils he men
toned came from Providence and the
other from the packing houses.
Mr.. Beveridge said that II appropriations
for government inspection continued they
would soon make a drain upon the treas
ury. He expressed the opinion that every
industry that needs inspection should pay
for It.
Continuing his speech, fayoring action
by congress to take care OF the expense
Of cost of inspection, Mr.. Warren, in re-
ply to numerous questions. said 1t was ar
rant nonsense to say that future con-
crosses will not be wise enough to deal
revenues. He said he expected future
members of the senate to be as wise as
himself and almost as wise as the senator

SQUALLS SPRANC up.
When the House Reached the Pack
age Amendment to Pure Food Bill.

washington, June zs.=After an
hour spent in the consideration of
privileged reports the house resumed
further consideration of the pure food
bill.
Everything was smooth sailing rn-
til the so-called package amendment
was reached, and then squalls sprang
up and the legislative sea became ex-
ceecingly choppy.
MI Mann CID in chage of the bill
o4ered the amendment heretofore print
ed that the time the package was put
up must be on the container together
with the weight or measure on the
outside OF the package
A dozen members were on their feet
Immediately after the reading of the
amendment.
Mr. Chairman" being heard all over
the house.
Mr.: Sherman N. y offered an
amendment in substance striking out
the time provision. Mr.. Sherman said
that under the penalty provided. the
weight and measure If stated must he
correctly stated. which he argued was
very difficult. He said that This was a
most serious question involving as II
did vast interests and it should not
be hastily considered. The house wife
was familiar with the proposition
that she could not get the same weight
into every can Of fruit she puts IN
and 1t would work a hardship on the
big Gamer to put the weight on each
for cans Of standard size do vary in
weight.
He told OF having gone into cannerv
in Rochester, n. z, and with mem
Der Of the firm weighed fifty glass lars
Of ketchup, supposed to be Identical in
weight. But the bottles varied from 13
to Is ounces. when every EFFORT had been
made to make the standard weight Il
ounces. He said If every can and every
bottle must contain the correct weight
1t would drive many canneries out OF
business because Of the Incidental ex-
pense attaching in the Weighing and in
the narkin OF the cans.
Mr.. Clark (Afo.) wanted to know IL Il
was true that quart and pint bottles
were one drink short.

Sherman. The gentleman is evident

We have purchased the entire stock of artist ma
terias formerly carried by F. A. Snow, successor to
Swift & Holiday Drug Co. We have purchased ad-
ditonal supplies from the manufacturers and plan
to carry a complete line. We have a good stock of
materials necessary for water color, oil color, and
china painting, and pastel work. We have a good
stock of canvas and paper and fine line of brushes
While there has been number of small stocks of
artist materials carried in this city, there has been
no one place where all Of the staple lines could be
purchased at a reasonable price. We expect to
carry stock from which to supply all reasonable
requirements and to offer it at prices which will give
us the business. For number Of years we carried
only the DeVoe tube colors and the staple artists
brushes which were in demand by the small dealers.
Our retail prices those lines low enough to
give us good business although we were very un-
favorably located on a side street. We shall make
correspondngly low prices on all staple goods which
we carry in stock We will also be in position to
order promptly any special lines which our customers
may desire.
Included with the Snow stock was a large amount
of plaques, fancy brass pieces wooden panels etc,
for decorating, which out of style and dead
stock Some Of these are very handsome and will be
offered for short time at small per cent of their
original cost. We also have number of oil and
