the subdivisions of the state and the
irregular manner in which popula-

TO apportlon the representatives,state

be done approximately. and this APP

The population of Kentucky. ac-
cordlng to the last census is 2,147,-
ia. With one hundred represents
tiyes. that would give 1.415 inhabi-
tants to the representative. The Re
publican vote at the last election was
AZ per cent of the total; the Demo
cratic vote a fraction over so per
cent. On this basis. if the Republican
vote was properly represented in the
general assembly the party would
have 65 instead OF 32 representatives
and would have five congressman. As

Barber County Stock Raisers
Suffer Heavy Losses.
Hogs and Steers Die From Eat
ing Young COckleburs.
RE VERY POISONOUS.
The Loss This Season So Far
Has Been Over 1000.
Duty of the Road Overseers to
Remove Such Plants.

Medicine Lodge, kan. May 1.-The
Cresset says:
Quite a number Of cattle and few
hogs have been killed in the west part
of the county from eating young
cocklebur sprouts 1t seems that when
cockleburs first come through the
ground they are very poisonous. and
from what we can learn between one
and two hundred head of cattle have
been killed. In addition to losing three
or four head of cattle. Fred Nurse lost
thirteen head of hogs. Among the
losers of cattle in addition to Mr..
Nurse. are Joseph Cant, Al Sayle, H.
W. Skinner, Jake Vanderpool. Walter
Saunders, J. R.Holmes and J. B. john
son.
Cockleburs, as we understand it, are
poisonous only when they first come up
in the spring. Besides that stock seem
to eat them only in the very early
spring. After grass gets big enough
cattle do not seem to bother them.
Loss of cattle from this cause is not
new here. It has grown to such pro-
portions that it would seem profitable
to the county to take in hand the mat
ter of the determination of the pest.
The loss this year from this cause will
amount to $4,000 or $4,000. This
amount would destroy quite crop OF
burs.
There is a state law which provides
that it is the duty of the road overseers
to remove or cause to be removed each
year between the 18th of June and the
18th of July, all cockleburs, Rocky
mountain sandburs, burdocks, sunfiow-
ers. Canada thistles and other noxious
weeds from the public highways. If
farmers will rid their places OF the
pests and the road overseers clean
them out of the roads the county can
be celared in a few years. It is said
that If cockleburs are carefully eradi-
Gated for two years they will not bother
further unless brought onto the place.

chance to name a station on the Sants
Fe, he quickly decided that Erin wa
the only name fit to call a spot s.
green. His wish was granted, but ne
one dreamed that Erin would ever bf
anything more than a box car station
Up to a few months ago trains neye
stopped there and the garden spo
without a garden was not even hon.
ored with a discarded box car for
station.
But only few moons ago Garrei
Dobbin, the general colonization agent
of the Santa Fe Gulf lines. induced a
colony of japanese to settle there. and
now Erin gives promise of being
very important station on the system.
But the first inhabitants are not really
charmed with the charming name and
would prefer something closer to the
Orient But the JaDs are pre5udiced
in the matter and one Of them happily
remarked that Erin may not be SO
far out of the way after all for a Jap
anese station. because It is a cornbina-
ton of two Of the greatest nations on
earth.
But there is another Erin in Texas
and It has a postoffice. and If the south
Texas Erin ever expects to have a
postoffice, and 1t does, the name must
be changed. It has been suggested
that the station be named the Nibbod
which has a japanese swing to it and
at the same time would be paying the
enterprising colonization agent, Car
rett Dobbin, a worthy tribute Dob
bin, however, prefers that the Japs be
permitted to suggest their own name
for the station.

No one is IN better position to know

it may mitigate the offense when it
comes to attaching penalties.

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH
DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILs.
sinking spells. Headaches and Rheu-
matism All Disappear When
the Blood Is VitaBzed.

The nervous system is entirely de-
pendent upon the blood for it's nour1sh-
ment and when the blood is thin and
weak the nerves, to corresponding de-
gree, are unable to perform their func-
tons. Any physician will verify the
statement that the health of the nerv-
Gus system depends upon the number
and condition of the red corpuscles in
the blood. Now these red corpuscles
are what give the bright color to
of good. red blood. we mean blood that
is rich in red corpuscles.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually in
crease the number of red corpuscIes in
the blood. This is a statement that has
been. and may at any time be, proved
by the microscope. Hence they not
only make good, red blood, but by this
means enable the nervous system to
perform its proper duties. In this way
they have cured many severe nervous
disorders.
Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Ce-
dar street. Quincy, H., says: Ever
since / had nervous prostratiOn, about
thirteen years ago, I have had periOdi-
cal spells of complete exhaustion The
doctor said my nerves were shattered.
:
would throw me into a state of lifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in moderate time
after each attack but the period of
weakness kept Iengthening until at last
I would lie helpless as many as three
hours at a stretch. I had dizzy feel
ings, palpitatiOn of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
and hips. The doctor did me so little
good that I gave up his treatment, and
really feared that my case was incur
able.
"One day had a bad spell. and my
husband came in when I was weakest,
with little book in his hand which he
had picked up in our yard. It told of
remarkable cures effected by a remedy
for the blood and the nerves, DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills. and somehow aWOke
in me a desire to try them. Ny hus-
band went out and bought a box for
me, and that was the beginning of my
return to health. The effect of even
the first box was SURPRISING NY aD-
petite grew keen, my food no longer
distressed me. my nerves were quieted
to a degree that I had not experienced
for years and my strength returned.
The fainting spells left me entirely af-
pills. and my friends say that I am
looking better than I have done for the
past fifteen years.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are recon-
mended for diseases that come from i'm
poverished blood, such as anaemia.
rheuma tism. debility and disorders of
the nerves, such as neuralgia, nervous
prostration and partial paralysis. They
have cured the most stubborn indiges-
ton. IF you have any of these ailments
or any complicated trouble as the re-
suit Of which your system is all run
down, DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
very best remedy to take. They agree
with the most delicate stomach, quiet
all nervousness. stir up every organ to
do its proper work and give strength
that lasts.
