RAIL ROADS FIGHT BACK.
Start Contest on the National Twenty
eight Hour Live Stock Law.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad entered a demurrer today to
the % hour cases in which the govern
ment is prosecuting several of the rail-
roads for alleged violations of that law.
The 20 hour law as it commonly is
termed Is an act passed by congress
in 1906 aimed to prevent cruelty to an
imals while in shipment. The act makes
provisions that cattle, etc, must be I'M
loaded at least once out of every q
hours for feed and rest while being
shipped from one point to another.
The maximum penalty fixed is $500
but in the cases that have already been
tried Judge Pollock has in several in
stances fixed the fine at one-half Of that
amount.
Judge William R. Smith, general at
torney for the Santa Fe, this morning
appeared before Judge Pollock and en-
tered a demurrer.~to the cases pending
against the road which he represents.
The government attorneys have in a
number of instances filed suits against
the Santa Fe containing more than one
count and detailing several alleged and
separate violations of the law. To this
the Santa Fe demurs and asks the
court to direct that each violation be
made a separate suit and that not more
than one count be specified in any one
suit. This means considerably more
work for the district attorneys off1ce
and naturally the government objects.
The Rock Island through it's attorney,
Paul Walker, is also against filing a
separate suit for each violation alleged
and is for granting the district attor-
ney's office the right to join several
counts in one petition. The government
has one suit pending against the Rock
Island containing Al separate counts
and If each count is made the basis of
a separate action it mounts up the costs
in case an unfavorable verdict Is secur-
ed. This is the occasion for the stand
of the Rock Island.

States Debts Can Be Paid
Slowly.

State Treasurer Edward Farley
has announced that few of the
State debts will be paid until the
school teachers are paid. Treas
urer Farley issued a statement as
follows:
Il find that in order to pay the
school teachers the first install
ment, due October l. we will be
able from now to that date to pay
but very few warrants. There
will be due the schools October l ,
next, about $4,000. We now
have a balance of S1S2,000. The
total collections for August and
September last year were a little
over 1872, 900, while the expenses
for the same months were some
thing over S621 900. You can see
at once that if we pay the schools
we can pay but few of the other
claims until after the sheriffs send
in taxes, not earlier than Novem-
Der. The schools are entitled to
their money, because we have been
borrowing largely from the school
fund to meet general expenses.
If we had not done this, there
would be plenty in the school fund
to meet this payment.
The total expenses for running
the State in its different branches
has been more each year for the
last number of years than the in
come from taxes and other sour
ces, and why, our last Legislature,
knowing this fact, failed to pro
vide means to meet all demands,
and was so lavish in making APP
preparations, is something | co
not understand"

Deep Breathing.

There are three distinct breath
ings of the body-the chest, or up
per breath: the middle, which fills
the lower lungs, and the lower, or
abdominal breath; none of these
should be used alone. The major
ity of women breathe in the chest
or upper part of the lungs only. If
they would breathe deeply while
walking or working, assuming the
proper position of the body at each
exercise, they would in very great
