KEEP OUT THE WATER.
Senator Young Proposes to Reform
Methods OF Corporations.

One of the most important con-
tributions to the great mass of pro-
posed railroad legislation which has
been presented to the senate is the bill
introduced by Senator I. d. Young
yesterday afternoon, and which, If 1t
becomes a law, he believes will abso-
lutely prevent the watering of stock or
bonds by railroad corporations. 1t
will hardly take out the water" that
may now be in the stocks and bonds
of railroad companies doing business
in Kansas but it will prevent any more
water" from being injected.
In brief the bill provides that rail-
this state will not in the future have
the power to increase it's stock or
bonds without the approval of the
board of railroad commissioners and
that the decision of the board of rail-
road commissioners in the premises Is
the governor of the state. And it
gives to the governor the power to
vacate or set aside any decision that
the board of railroad commissioners
may make upon questions of this sort
Further than that the bill provides
sioners may not authorize the issuance
of stocks and bonds or other evidences
of indebtedness. and secure the same
by mortgage or deed of trust, on such
property, for an amount In excess of
the value of the property. which value
shall be fixed by the board of railroad
commissioners.
Senator Young says that this meas
ure is drawn in line with certain pro-
visions which have been on the statute
books of England under an act of
parliament for many years and that
some features of the bill are in line
with the provisions of the laws of
Texas on the subject

NO MORE OBSTACLES.
Forts Leavenworth and Riley Now in
the Clear.

Washington, Jan. 17.-There will proba-
bly, be no further trouble in regard to
appropriations for barracks and quarters
at army brigade posts, of which Forts
ones; and the future of these Kansas
posts is not so much in danger as week
ago.
Attention was called in dispatches a
few days since to the fact that Senator
house delegation present here had dis
covered that the envious Mr.. HUI OF
Iowa chairman OF the house committee aniire9

nriation line for his home town, Des

the army appropriation bill that no fur

This alarmed Senator Long and Repre-
sentatives Miller and Scott, who set to

and Riley. the great future. proposed for
them by the war department.
Mr.. Miller is member of the house
committee on military affairs. When the

against it, on the ground that it was new
the point, Chairman Hull declaring the
provision was not subject to point of or
der, and insisting on its remaining in the
bill. The chairman of the committee of
the whole, however, Mr.. Currier of New
Hampshire. later decided against Hull
At the same time that Mr.. Miller made
the point of order against the provision,
the chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, also
made the point of order against the
whole paragraph under discussion, which
included ais appropriations for barracks
for the seacoast artillery on the PACING
coast. There is always rivalry between
the committee military affairs and the
regular committee appropriations,
which has general charge of all appro,
priations, as to certain matters that shall
go to one committee or another. The
chairman of the committee of the whole
later ruled that the whole paragraph was
out of order. and threw it out of the bill.
So the work at LeavenwOrth and Riley
will probably go on, for it is doubtful
whether the fight will be carried further
as to the right of the war department
to expend from it's general fund portions
thereof for buildings and improvements
at military posts throughout the country.
The war department was much inter
ested in the matter, for it has great plans
for brigade posts throughout the country.
and for none of them any greater or
more extensive than at Forts Leayen-

cedes to be two of the finest posts in the

Leavenworth, Jan. 17.-Natural gas

home of Mrs. Edwin l.. Dickerson, No.

yesterday afternoon. Eight persons
were made seriously ill and for a time
1t was feared that a number would die.
For some time guests at the party
noticed peculiar sensation coming
over them and finally they became so
i'll that DIR. Carpenter was summoned.
AS soon as ne entered the house he
knew what the trouble was and he
promptly ordered everybody to go out
into the open air.

scious at the same time. One woman's
heart became affected and It was
feared she would not survive. For a
time she was unconscious and was
dangerously close to death. Three
women tainted on the sidewalk in
front of Tusher's grocery store after
they had left the party.
Those who were the most seriously

assistant postmaster; Mrs. Horace

will recover without permanent effect
from the inhaling OF the poison.
An investigation showed that the
gas came from a pipe in the furnace.
Mrs. Dickerson,. who gave the party,
was not made seriously i'll by inhal-
ing the gas.

BUYING OR RAISING cows.
The Wise Farmer viii Raise III,
Calves.

The practice of raising cows rather
thar selecting them from the herds
of others is to be commended. One
OF the prominent dairymen OF the FL.
gin district in Illinois, says Farmers
Review, has for long time followed
the practice Of going out into the
country and buying the best COWS he
could FIND, milking them through one
lactation and then selling them to the
butchers. He said IL was a paying
Investment ana that was all lie was
looking for We are glad to know that
this dairyman has abandoned this
course and is now raising calves from
his best cows.
lie says that the other practice has
been carried on for so many years
that 1t is now difficult to find the
good cows to buy and that If man
wants good cows he must raise them
This Is the only course that will con
stantiy improve the quality OF om
dairy herds. From year to year good
COWS will increase in number in the
herd of the man that Is always selling
OF his poorest cows and is raising
calves from his best COWS to take the
place Of the poor cows OF which he
disposes.

BRICK SiLOS.
In Use In Many Dairy Districts Of
Wisconsin and Give Satisfaction.

On recent trip through the heart
Of the dairy section Of Wisconsin.
found the brick silo very much in evil
dence.
Some of them have stood for sew
eral years and are giving the best
of satisfaction. They neither freeze,
shrink, swell. blow down, or rot out,
and keep the silage perfectly. They
are made with a double wall of brick
with a dead air space between. The
inner wall of brick Is strengthened
by laying in circle of steel every
two feet. This gives It great strength.
They are plastered on the inside with
cement
The most Of these silos set in the
ground from four to six feet. The
part of the ground is made of stone.
! found no one that would recommend
building them more than 16 feet in
diameter but would build as high as
convenient, say 80 to SO feet above
ground. II larger one than this is
desired all seem to agree that 1t
would be better to build two.
The Old tub sllO was good In ftS
day and is very good yet, but silos
have passed the experimental stage
now and silo builders are looking for
something more induring and more
substantial. believe the brick one
has come to stay. In tall silo there
is a great outward pressure and any
thing to stand has to be made very
strong.
A few cement silos are being built
and perhaps in time there will be
those that have gained the expert.
ence that will enable them to build
perfectly, says the Northwestern Agri
culturist. At present one complaint
with the concrete wall silo Is they
do not run the walls true enough
so that the silage settles and leaves
an air space where the silo crowns
out and the slage will mold. Great
care should be taken in building q
concrete silo to have the walls per
fectly perpendicular SO the silage viii
hug tight to the sides and leave no all
space.
