Personally. am opposed TO gambling

have done everything in my power
to stop il in the District OF Columbia.
I propose 10 keep on doing so. Cnfor-
tunateiy, we have not had law that

necessary is TO get such a law. The
Commissioners, on my motion, have
recommended a bin TO the present Con-
gress. which our corporation counsel
believes will be effective. Everybody
should cooperate in the effort to make
that bill a law. Gov. Hughes has asked
the New York legislature for such a law
and the people for their cooperation
in getting it This is all he could do.
The bill we propose is short and simple
and strong.
Meanwhile, we must, of course. do
the best we can under the present law.
The courts have held that the law pre-
vents one method OF gambling at the

Now, all that the District govern

do that is the United States district at

Iowa People Also Get Rates.

There is rejoicing all over Iowa be-
cause the railroads have arranged to
grant a special excursion rate to the
Iowa State Fair to be the familiar and
long popular rate Of three cents a mile
for the round trip, with minimum Of
rs cents. This was agreed upon at a
conference in Chicago where the rail
roads were shown that the people Of
Iowa, and especially the farmers, are
intensely in earnest in their desire
that they shall have as favorable rates
as those given others. Special rates
have been given cities outside OF
Iowa, from Iowa points, and to meet
ings Of less Importance than the annual
Iowa State Fair, and there is no
reason why rates should not be given
Iowa people. The railroad men con-
coded the business of the argument and
State Fair visitors will get reduced ex-
cursion rates for the last week of August.
This assures very large FAIR attend
ance and big business for the railroads.

doubtedly queen" in the western states
and to his queen King Corn is to build
a palace in Omaha which will be one
of the special features of the Ma
tional Corn exposition to be held there
December 9 to 10.
The alfalfa palace is planned by
the directors OF the corn show because
of the increasing interest in the crop
and its growing importance rs a food
for cattle. The palace is TO be built
of bales OF alfalfa and lined with ex-
hibits of alfalfa and other grasses.
Valuable premiums are TO be o1ered
for the best types Of the alfalfa plant,
AMI many growers will secure hay
presses and modern machines for
baling the alfalfa.
Much attention Is to be given alfalfa
at the National Corn exposition, as 1t
Is recognized that II Is a necessary
o for stock. The best authorities
have demonstrated that cattle cannot
use 20 advantage all the carbohydrates
and oil In corn without a protein RAJ

to stock in preparing them for mar
Ike and the big packing houses are
now paying better prices for the stock

Then the mixture is cheaper. Few
feeders are still of the opinion that
they can afford to feed straight corn
worth 60 to SIS cents per bushel TO cat
tie for which they receive from $3.50

those interested in agriculture are to
secure exhibits and give demonstra-
tons of interest to every grove or

CATTLE SLAUGHTER
Denver StockmaI

A news item from New York an
nounces that Hiram Percy Maxim, the
inventor of the noiseless hrearm, gave
his first public demonstration OF a
wonderful weapon before the board OF
of the Society for Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals recently.
Leveling an ordinary 32-caliber rifle,
remodeled according to his invented
device and loaded with ordinary am
munition, the inventor ook aim at two
city directories placed one in front of
each other, pulled the trigger, n
drove a fiatnosed bullet six inches
through the solid paper with hardly
enough noise to be heard rs feet away.
The explanation OF the demonstration
given to the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, the In
ventor was that his wonderful device
was pursuant TO the urgent request for
the society that he furnish the organi-
use in the abattoirs and the big meat
packing plants. They wanted "a gun
which could drive a bullet into the
brain OF a steer with deadly results
and with not noise enough to brighten
all the other animals lined up in the
killing driveway.
No doubt this will be much more
~eficacious than the present haphazard
method now employed. The society is
strongly against the present
of slaughtering of beef with a hammer.
Mr.. Maxim's invention will strike
