State Central Committee.
In the front office Secretary W. H.
L. Pepperell is installed with a corps
of stenographers handling his cores

Autographs and various forms of adj

has little time these days for any
thing but the good of his party, and
to talk about certain Democratic sue

In the fourth room Chairman Hen

everything. In the rooms between,
the chairman Of the speakers bureau
and the publicity bureau are busy
with their various duties.
Headquarters we're officially OPEN

Picturesque Tunie Eroek,

Despite the success Of tafretas
which. had such a run during the
spring, It was inevitable that the soft
ciinging materials should sway for
summer. and consequently modes are
becoming somewhat simpler. What
constitutes a pannier in the crisper
silks becomes merely folded drapery
In silk linen and chiffon.
The favorite fashion of the moment
Is the tunic frock. for the tunic is such
a versatile garment that 1t may be
said to merge into the. pannier in some
OF Its simpler forms. Mousselins de
sole and lace take alternative parts In
the latest Paris frocks to the tunics.

DEAD HORSES.

The authorities are receiving CON-
plants from different parts Of the
county that certain parties are not
burying the dead horses which die
from the disease which is killing so
many Of them. From the standpoint
of public health and decency and to
Keep sickness from attacking persons
these dead animals should be buried
without delay.
Do not bury near water courses nor
in shallow graves.
One man who has buried thnee
horses bought a schraper and used
that and a pillow to dig a deep grave.
Between here and Hoisington a
man riding on the train counted ten
horses lying in the fields.
At Hoisington the other day one of
Frank Halls horses, sick from the
disease, was bled and some chickens
in the barn lot which were seen to
drink some of the blood on the ground
died shortly after. Flies will carry
germs of disease all over the country
and the hot weather and high winds
are likely to help spread sickness
among humans If care is not taken
to prevent it. The county authori-
ties this morning received a number
of complaints about dead horses lying
about on the ground and no attention
being paid to them and sent out no
tees to the owners requesting them
to bury them at once.
Some prosecutions are bound to en-
sue Of these things are not done and
1t will mean serious trouble If a case
of this sort gets into the courts.
The law Is explicit on such sub
ject and it should be observed and
enforced more now than ever.

Arkansas Valley Crop $4,000, 900.


Pueblo.-The crops in the Arkansas
valley of Colorado are expected to
bring approximately $9.000.OOO this
year. The estimate is based upon ac-
tual figures, taken from the number
of acres planted to the various crops,
and does not include the fruit in the
Canon City district.
Without the question of a doubt this
will be the most prosperous year In
the history OF the whole valley, and
business already is brisk in anticipa-
tion of the heavy crop returns.
The five leading crops will be
wheat, $2,s75,OOO; sugar beets. $2.587.-
900; alfalfa, $1,400.000; oats. 1920
900 and cantaloupes $4,000. making
q total of $S,418.500. To this will have
to be added the amounts received for
all OF the minor crops, no estimate
upon which has been furnished.
In the opinion of well.posted men in
the valley the railroads are going to
experience difficulty in providing
enough box cars to haul the crops
away. and vigorous efforts already are
being made to see that proper provi-
sion is made for their transportation.

LEcisLATIoN MEG EssARY TO
PREVENT SUSPENSION OF
OPERATIONS.
PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
FEDERAL EMPLoYEs TO
CONTINUE WORK.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Eleven hour legisla-
tion was necessary to prevent sus-
pension OF government operations as
. result OF. mismanagemcnt but Con-
gress extended tho appropriations of
the past fiscal year through July and
made 1t unnecessary to drop several
hundred thousand civilian employees
from the government payroll at mid
night July l.
Juse before he left to attend the ma
tional sangerfest at Philadelphia,
President Taft signed the bill.
A joint resolution making the extern
sion was necessary because of the
failure of Congress to pass nine Of the
appropriation bills before the begin
ming of the 1913 fiscal year. The bills
In question were the agricultural.
army, Indian. legislative. military.
academy, naval, pension, postoffice
and sundry civil. The army bill, which
was passed by both houses, was ve-
toed by the President June II because
It contained Objectionable legislation.
The resolution went through the
Senate after passing the House. at
1925 o'clock Monday, but through
miscue by the Democratic manipula-
tors Of the measure 1t did not reach
the President for his signature until
after 2 o'clock. The Democratic lead
ers overlooked having the document
Eigned by Congressman Alexander,
who was acting as speaker. The Pres
tdent was inconvenienced in his depar-
ture by the delay.
1t was pointed out by the House ap-
preparations committee in Its report
that similar measures have been ne
cessitated in the past because Of the
regular appropriations having failed
to pass. Like conditions existed in
1876, 1882, 1884, 1885, 1890. 1892, and
1894, it was argued in extenuation OF
the embarrassment caused this year.
Representative Hay presented
resolution appropriating $1,35O.OO0 for
the expenses Of the joint maneuvers
of the regular army and militia. The
measure was passed unanimously aft
er Representative Hay had made a
short speech in explanation of it's pre-
sentation.
"The only reason for this provision
is that the states have gone ahead in
good faith and made preparations and
expended large sums of money" he
said. However, l want it understood
that l will treat none Of the other
provisions of the army bill in this
manner"
The army bill was reported out BY
the House committee in the same
form as it was vetoed by President
Taft, and it is expected another bitter
fight will be precipitated.
The failure of Congress to make
provision for the payment Of wages to
United States navy yard employees did
not result in nearly 1,500 of the 1000
men employed at the Charlestown
navy yard being thrown out of work
as had been expected. A telegram in
structed Commandant De Witt Coff-
man to continue the work as usual
pending the probable passage by Con-
gress of resolution providing for ap-
preparations.
