dictment accuses DIR. Hyde of man
slaughter by bleeding Col. James M
Hunton. cousin of Col. Swope, in a
neglectful manner.
On February 8, coroner's jury
that had investigated the death OF
Col. Swope brought in a verdict that
the aged capitalist had died from the
effects of strychnine administered In
a capsule at the direction of DR..
Hyde, but the jury was unable to de-
termine whether DR.. Hyde was guilty
of felonious intent in directing that
the capsule be given.
Dr. Hyde is a nephew by marriage
of the late Col. Swope. He has many
friends among the wealthy people of
Kansas City and independence, who
steadfastly believe in his innocence
The investigation into the deaths and
poisoning in the Swope family brought
out the fact that Swope had been TAX
ing treatment from an herb doctor
named Jordan, and many believe that
this will be found to have some bear
ing on the case.

The Immense Cost.

But the great yearly cost is a mat
ter of appalling magnitude. The Hon
James Wilson, our really great Secre
tary of Agriculture, declares that the
cattle ticks are the one greatest men
ace and evil of all southern Agricul
ture. He estimates the annual loss
to average $500 for each head of the
20,000,000 horned cattle now owned In
the entire south, and this is the ap
palling aggregate of $100,000,O0O
But now can this immense loss be
possibly true?
Well, there is in the first place the
actual value of all the cattle which. in
the entire south, do each year lie
down and die of the contagion. And
this aggregates an immense sum of
money. And then there is the i'm
mense loss from the still greater num-
Der of cattle which do not actually
die but are only rendered worthless,
or nearly so from the fell malady.
And next the great loss which comes
by reason of the deterioration in our
stock of cattle, which is going on all
the time, and is fast reducing our
southern herds into race of scrubs
and stunts. This too is a mighty
loss And then there's the great loss
of milk and butter in 100000 South
ern milk cows. Now, estimate the
loss at only one quart per day for
each COW, and We have an aggregate
loss of 100000 quarts of milk for each
day. And multiply this by 300, the
number of days in year in which a
cow should give milk, and we have
an aggregate of 225,OOO,OOO quarts of
milk in a year. And this should be
worth at least $10,000,000, which is
worse than thrown away. But there
Is yet our loss which overtOps all 9TH
er losses. And this is the great fall
off in price and value of all southern
bred cattle marketed The cold fact
is that in all the great markets which
nix the price of cattle all southern
bred cattle are under suspicion and
under the ban, by reason alone of the
prevalent cattle ticks. They are only
received into great placarded cattle
pens, and can thence only be sold for
slaughter And this fact
1oes absolutely slaughter the price of
all such cattle. Now only those cat
lie which can stand inspection can be
sold at all And this fact cuts off
rom market thousands upon thous-
lnds of southern cattle, and the reflex
md natural result is to send down the |
rice OF cattle all over the south when
he price of clean cattle was never |
o high! But how great is this loss |
Veil, the experience of Tennessee
ellis the whole story. Now Tonnes
ee, as state, is far advanced in the
york of tick eradication. Out of 50
ounties at least 80 are tick free
ow. And in these counties, now and
oday, the price of cattle is from
ents to 1-2 cents per pound, live
'elght While in the still tick in
ected counties the price of cattle,
ow and today, is onIye,2 cents to

The Remedy.

| The Remedy.
Is there any sure and certain rene
dy? Yes, indeed. The $4,000 square
miles which in two years have been
| cleared, an area twice as large as
| Mississippi, yes indeed, which has
been cleared of cattle ticks, amply
proves it. And the remedy is simply
oily grease preparation and rigid
local quarantine. Yes, any oily
grease. when fully and hon
estly applied, will at once kill all
ticks on COW, calf, or steer to which it
is applied, and is made to reach and
to cover. And rigid quarantine, by
rigidly keeping all cattle off all tick
infected fields and pastures for few
months will kill by starvation all in
fecting ticks. Now, let us kill all
ticks on cattle and on pastures. and
we end and utterly stamp out the con-
tagion! And now Uncle Sam is taking
hand. Congress and the Depart
ment of Agriculture are determined
the evil shall be stamped out. Sec
rotary Wilson sees that what the peo-
pie want is clear and exact informa-
ton. And also corps of trained and
expert men to take the lead and show
just how to use the remedy in stamp
ing out the disease. He will send
such corps to Mississippi. Several
are now at work He will pay all
their expenses. But the people must
do their part. And the authorities
must also act. If authorities and peo-
pie are Indifferent and don't want to
act he will not spend for them dol
lar. Under the law he cannot. But
for them an iron quarantine will con-
tinue. This, o! News, has been writ

The Cause.

About the cause there is no room
for doubt or debate. The one sole
cause is microscopic germ, or animal
microbe, which is alone transmitted
by that peculiar tick, known to
science as Marguropas Annislatus. It
is cattle parasite, and the very rat
tie snake of the entire tick tribe:
And it has been scattered and spread,
all over and all through the south, by
the careless handling and shipment
of tick infected cattle, and especially
by letting such cattle to freely run at
large, and in no other way in the
world. Such is the stern verdict of
true and exact Silence.
