KANSAS WOMAN HEARD.
Isabel WorreH Bah Gives Her Ex-
perience With Canned Meat.

Washington, June 9.-The beef in
spection hearing before the house COM
mittee on agriculture was begun today
by listening to Representative Garner
CTex.) who made plea for speedy ae-
tior.
s. H. cowan, Of Fit Worth, Texas,
attorney for the Texas cattle raisers'
association, was next heard. He detail
ed the extent of the Texas cattle in
dustry- Mr.. Cowan said while the rails
ers had their differences with the pack
ers and had not got the best Of them,
yet in this question the interest of the
ra1sers and packers was Identical
He read telegram from John T.
Lytle, president Of the cattle raisers
| association of Texas, which read:
Present agitation has seriously de-
pressed cattle business. Universal i'm
preston that cattle values viii suffer
from "a to IS per head decline"
Representative Haughen (Ia.) asked
Mr.. COWan if he had read the presi-
dents message which estimated the
cost of inspection at eight cents a head.
But we don't want to pay it-that's
our reason replied Mr.. Cowan. But
rather than do without the law we
would be glad to levy the cost on the
cattle" he continued.
Mr. Haughen said every member Of
the committee, so far as he knew, was
in favor of the government paying the
cost. This cost has been estimated at
from eight million to twenty million
dollars annually and congress, he said
at most would probably not appro-
pirate more than s2,0O0.00o. In view
of this he believed 1t might be better
to assess the cost on the packers.
Mrs Isabel Worrell Ball, formerly Of
Kansas gave the committee her experi-
ence with canned goods to develop the
fact that canned goods did not deteriorate

TOPEKA BEAUTIFUL.
Dean Hayes Plan to Make City Better
and Prettier.

At the Commercial club last night
Dean Kaye said: I'VE have been ac-
cused of doing nothing but talk and
that is partially true but we have a
valid excuse for that, as we have moth
ing to do with. 1 think that the time
has come for concerted action not only
on the part of the members of this
committee but on the part of every
member of the Commercial club who
wants to see Topeka become Topeka
the Beautiful To bring about the de-
sired result sentiment must be aroused
and fund raised to defray the ex-
pense of Identifying the city ana
making it a more presentable place IN

and $4,000 / have no doubt in the
world but what $4,000 can be raised

If concerted action Is taken mere are
more than 10000 homes in the city ana
each one of these should and 1 believe

there are hundreds who VIII give many
times the amount asked when assured
that it il to be used to make their
homes more pleasant and their proper

Important factor in the molding OF

SECRET IS OUT.
The Marblehead Has Gone to Guate-
Inala to Investigate.

Washington, June 9.-secrecy no
longer surrounds the movements of the
United States cruiser Marblehead
which has sailed north from Panama
At the request of the state department
the Marblehead sailed for San Jose,
Guatemala, to investigate the move
ments of the American steamer Empire,
which is reported to have landed re-
cruits from San Francisco and arms
and ammunition for the use of the revo-
luton against President Cabrera.
Disquieting dispatches reached the
state department today from Guatema-
la concerning the revolution. The en-
emies of the present administration are
active in several parts of the republic,
but it is impossible to discover the
exact cause of the movement and the
directing force.

HOT, DRY, NO RAIN PROSPECTS
An Eight Mile Wind Affords But
Slight Relief.

Though the mercury is hanging around
the 80 mark, the heat today does not seem
to be SO great as it has at numerous times
this season when the mercury has been
several degrees lower The sky is a deep
blue and there is not a cloud visible in
any quarter and the sun has a direct
stroke at the earth, though it does not
seem to sizzle and wither, as It has done
at other times
An eight-mile-an hour wind, which is
really but little more than a breeze is
blowing from the west. and it does much
towards tempering the heat to the fat
man.
The weather department promises no re-
lief either from the drouth or the heat.
and their guess Is that Sunday will be
much the same day that this has been.

DEVELOPING YOUNG cows.

Henry Stewart says that heifer
coming fresh in June would have the
best opportunity of making a good
udder, and, of course, the better the
form or yielding ability of the udder
the more the COW would be likely to
develop into good milker. The first
year of cows life will almost surely
make or mar the future of the animal.
But it is not sufficient alone, for COW
is growing in form and ability to milk
for at least four years. | have known
cows neglected for even three years
after that age to make most excellent
mixers, improving as butter-makers
yearly up to five years and even more.
