DR.. MILLER TELLS OF
ST. LOUIS PURCHASE

Or. W. p. Miller, owner OF the trot-
ter st. Louis, winner Of the frec-for-all
trot in the intercity races here on Sat
urday, sends the following communi-
cation to the sporting editor of the
Philadelphia Record:
Dear Sir-In your report Of the in
tercity races you make the statement
that my trotting horse. st. Louis. 2tf
Ia, was brought to this part Of the
world by Paul Connolly. Of Philadel-
phia This is a mistake. He has
brought out lots of good ones. but he
did not bring out this one. This
horse was never owned by a dealer
nor did any professional driver ever
pull a rein over him. He has never
vet been even trained one day by a
professional trainer I bought him Of
Mr.. Line. a fruit and produce dealer
Of la Porte. Ind. who raised. broke
and trained him, and drove him TO his
record. This horse has never yet had
any professional training.
you speak Of one other horse that
is now being raced under the VIII
mington coiors as having been for
merly owned by Philadelphia parties.
You forget that Philadelphia norsemeu
brought three horses out of the - that
raced against us yesterday, that were
owned by Wilmington men before they
were ever owned in Philadelphia.
namely. George r. Peck, formerly
owned by NJ. +. Hayden; Jack Gilman.
formerly owned by Mckee and Nc
Allister and Harry r., formerly own
ed by W. b. Austin. So it looks as
though we slSirmish around and find
about as many horses for Philadelphia
people to race as they do for us"

COST OF EXTRA BRAKEMAN
Railroads Preparing Figures to Use in
 Fighting Bill in Congress.

Although Arkansas would not be affected by the Borah full train crew bill, which is expected 10 come up at the next session of Congress, the office of Division Superintendent J. F. Murphy is preparing figures on the extra cost to the railroads if the bill is enacted. The bill would require three brakemen on all freight trains of more than 25 cars and a brakeman and porter on ali pas senger traius of more than three cars in addition to the men now carried, increasing the passenger crews to five and the freight crews to six. All the provisions of the bill are already ia effect in Arkansas, having been enacted in Arkansas in the Patterson three-brakeman bill.
 
 General Manager A. w. Sulli. van of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain system system has requested figures showing the additional cost that would be entailed by the bill, and General Superintendent M. M. Richey has instructed all the division superintendents to furnish the data.
 The additional trainmen which the railroads would be forced to put on if the bill is enacted vii! be practically useless, as the crews now in use are big enough to handle the trains, railroad of. ficials claim. The operation of the law in Arkansas has proven this, 1t is asserted.

 Money Vas Missing.

Harry Varley, who just re- turned from a hunting trip, re ports that when he came by w, l.. Hoover's place, about z1 miles west of town, he was toid that daughter of MT. Hoover had found the pocketbook that was lost by J. V. Wallin last Tuesday. The $330 that was iD the pocketbook when it was lost was missing. The poeketoook and lodge receipt were found ouiy a few feet from the road. The one who found it before Miss Hoover, evidently decided to keep the money.
 Mir. Hoover was much worried over the find for fear someone would think he had the money. He wanted very much tor the Valley boys to search hum ana his house for the money but they did not think 1t was necessary.
 Mir. Wallin was in town Sal r. day and says that he has very stroug suspicion as to who got the money and he and the officers are going to work hard to get him. He IS still willing to give a re- ward and do what is right by the party, if the money IS returned.

I. B. MURDOCH DEAD.
END COMES TO WELL KNOWN KANSAS PIONEER IN A KAN
 sAs CITY HOSPITAL.
WAS DEAN OF STATES EDITORS
For Many Years Col. Murdock Played a Prominent Part n Development of the sunfIower state--Body Sent to Eldorado-

Kansas City. Nov. 6.-Thomas Ben- ton Murdock, editor of the EIdorado Republican at Eldorado, Kan. died at St. Mary's hospital. Mir. Murdock was brought to Kansas City October 27 for treatment for multiple neuritis. He was CT years old. His body was sent to Eldorado at 10 o'clock this morning. The arrangements for the funeral services will be made there.
 Dr. Harold P. Kuhn had charge of Mir. Murdock's case since Tuesday night. His father. pr. W. F. Kuhn, who had charge of the case up to that time, left the city on business. pr. Kuhn said:
 .'Mr Murdock's was a disease where the nerves of the body fail to do their work. The fatal state of the disease occurred last night at z o'clock, when the nerve which controls the action of the heart failed At first they thought he would recover when he was brought to the hospital eight days ago, but all hope was given up after his failure to Improve Sunday. A younger man might have recovered from the disease but Mir. Murdock's age was against him. Wednesday was his last day of consciousness. The disease had at tackled the base of the brain"
 On August 3l, after busy day at the Kansas Fish Hatchery at Pratt, Mir. Murdock was stricken and suffered an almost total collapse. He was taken to his home in Eldorado Septem- Der 2. He gained strength and for some time was able to sit up in an armchair from one to four hours at time.
 Col. Murdock had been in frail health for the past ten months He was one of the victims of the Copeland hotel fire, which occurred at Topeka last January. He made his escape by jumping from a third story window onto one-story building below. and then jumping to the ground, after which he walked half block through the snow. barefooted, to building where he found refuge. He was con fined in a Topeka hospital for several days with an injured ankle, and when he recovered returned to his home in Eldorado.
 Col. Murdock displayed unusual vitality for a man of his years. For nearly 40 years he had taken a deep interest and played prominent part In the development and politics of the Sunf1ower state Always Re publican. he never missed party convention of any kind, and his bril- liant editorials in the Eldorado Re. publican added many votes to the party ticket. Though he was a strong Republican and loved the party next to his country, he was never blind to It's faults and was fearless in express ing his views on wrongs existing with. In the party.

from the hog in a year to the land as fertilizer was from S4 to $s.
 In speaking of the disease oi hogs, MT. Ward said that more hogs were killed in the south by worms than by cholera. He gave the following as an absolute cure and reventative for all worm trouble:
 Charcoal, 3 bushel
 Wood ashes, l bushel
 Salt, s pounds
 Air slacked lime, 2 quarts.
 Then take 1 4 ID. copperus and dissolve in water aud pour over the above after it has been well mixed. Keep some of this iu the hog lot at all times, but have it under shelter. Of course 1t is not necessary to mix up such a large quantity if you are only keeping few hogs.
 As to cholera, MT. Ward said that there was system of vacci- nation which would absolutely prevent the disease. and then when the hog industry ot this stale would justify the legislature making an appropriation of Sl0, 900 to establish plant to make the vaccine serum, this disease could be overcome.
