U. S. SENATOR SLABS
FACE OF NEGRO

Washington, ID. c., July as
you can't arrest me for assault"
said senator VIM. J. Stone, OF
Missouri, to a policeman who was
gently but firmly urging him TO-
wards a patrol wagon at the sta
ton at Baltimore last night, after
the senator had slapped the face
OF a negro waiter on a Pennsyl.
vania dining car.
II take exception to the remarks
OF the gentleman from Missouri"
replied the policeman and the
senator was taken to Jail, where he
was later released on his own
recognizance.
According TO the senator, he en-
tered a dining car on his way from
Philadelphia to Washington and
ordered dinner and a drink Of
whiskey. Because the waiter
Lawrence J. Brown, brought a
short chaser" instead OF a long
glass OF water as ordered, the
senator rebuked him.
After waiting a weary time in
vain for dinner, the senator again
rehuked the waiter, adding sundry
epithets after a whole souled
slap, delivered with his mighty
right.
A Pullman porter attempted &c
interfere and was greeted with a
food OF senatorial eloquence en-
bracing the past, present and fu'
ture OF the porter and his relatives.
When the train reached Balti.
more the waiter secured two police.
men and had Stone ar eSted, charg'
ed with assault.

Horses and cattle require different
handling. The bulletin states that
horses are helped by daily treat
ment with Fowler's solution, and
cattle do best with slight daily
doses OF strychnine accompanied
with laxative feed and occasional
doses OF magnesium sulphate."
The weed itself was found easy

mas not a very prolific growth, and
where land is taken up by settlers
IT is probable that the pest can be
controlled in this simple way. On
the open range where land is not
privately owned, it may require
federal appropriations and regular
campaigns against the poisonous
weed.
The remedial treatment OF the
animals has been found practical
and satisfactory under the condl-
tions prevailing in the corrals and
pens at the field station. The de-
partment is now at work planning
methods OF wholesale antidoting
under range conditions.
Such work on the part OF a gov
eminent department is worth in
hnitely more than it costs. Such
problems are absolutely beyond
the power OF individuals or even
OF state governments 10 meet sue

sources and perfect equipment OF
the national government make pos.
sible the thorough Investigations
and well organized campaigns that
alone can possibly change existing
natural conditions over our vast
national domain.
The loss from loco poisoning in
the west is estimated at more than
$40, 600, 900 annually. During
certain seasons stockmen in New
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Mon.
tana, and other states have lost as
high a. so per cent OF horses and
lambs, and IS per cent OF cattle.
In some sections OF Colorado the
number Of animals has been reduc.
ed more than f%our.hfths within a
few years, and this reduction oil
30 per cent is due to the effects o,
the loco weed in poisoning stock

stockmen hasten to sell out.
The bulletin is a very complete
compendium OF the entire subject
