NOTES FROM
STATE CAPITAL
FRESH ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR
KANSAS PEOPLE.
Latest Events Transplring Among the
State Officials at Topeka
Gathered by Our Cor
respondent.

Topeka.-Scattered over Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois are 1000 cattle
with Texas fever and all of them be-
came infected In the stock yards at
Strong City after 1t had been disin-
fected and pronounced safe by gov
eminent inspector. ]. H. Mercer, state
livestock sanitary commissioner, is the
busiest man In Kansas trying to check
the spread of the disease.
During the high waters over the
state last July many carloads Of cat
tie were stranded along different rail
road lines. One trainload of southern
cattle was stranded at Strong City and
In order to feed and water them they
were unloaded at the Strong City
yards. Such cattle are not permitted
to unload in Kansas without an inspec-
ton except under such circumstances
as this.
After the cattle were fed and the
blockade was cleared they were re-
loaded and sent to Kansas City. The
yards at Strong City were disinfected
by a government inspector and the
usual precautions were taken to. kln
the tick which causes Texas fever. For
some time no cattle we're placed in
the yards. Later shipping was begun
again. Hundreds of cattle were
shipped from the Strong City yards to
the Kansas City market. There they
were sold as feeders to stockbuyers in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Illinois. Many
of them came back to this state. One
thousand cases of Texas fever devel-
oped and all of them can be traced
back to the Strong City yards. 1t Is
supposed that the disinfection made
by the government inspector was i'm
perfect and that all the cattle placed
in the yards afterward were infected.
