Suggestions From Lawyers on
ProradrIra

Russell, Kans., Sept. l5.-Judge J.
C. Ruppenthal, of the Twenty third
Kansas district, believes the people
should have something to say about
courts. He has issued this letter
addressed to members of the bar in
his district:
ITO secure justice, the work OF
the courts should be speedy, cheap
and sure. In this period of the
discussion of the recall of judges, and
the criticism of life tenure, and the
impeachment of some judges, care
full consideration of the administra-
tion of justice is timely. In recent
issue of the Journal of the American
Institute of Criminal Law and Grim
inology is reprinted an address of an
eminent lawyer of New York City,
which takes up fearlessly and frankly,
yet not Extensively, the defects of
the courts of that city, pointing out
with unsparing detail some short
comings of the Judges, both in omis-
sion and commission.
Il earnestly invite your criticism
in like manner. l ask your advice
proach as closely as it is possible for
us to the ideal administration of
Justice Be frank to point out the
customs and practices of courts, or of
this particular court, or the habits of
the judge, or the acts of omission or
commission, regular or occasional,
past, present, anticipated or appre-
hended, that tend in any way to de-
lay, deny or defeat justice, or hamper
its administration, civil or criminal.
What needs are there? What ruts
has the court or judge fallen into
that are perversive of the best inter-
ests for which courts are instituted?
Il shall be glad to learn your views
either fully or in part, either orally,
by letter, directly or through others,
in court, at chambers, or elsewhere,
formally or informally, just so that
the truth is brought out and results
attained.

Whom to Marry.

When you see young man, who
has no visible means of support, loaf
ing on the street four or five days
out of the week, logged out in his
glad rags with nothing to do but
to just kill time, you can safely set it
down that if he ever marries, the
girl who was foolish enough to marry
him is elected to have more real
trouble during her married life than
should fall to the lot of any woman.
Too many times girls will turn down
hard working young men who are try
ing to get ahead in the world and
take up with one of those idle, worth
less dudes, because he wears good
clothes every day and has plenty of
time TO cater to their wants. In after
years they wake up to the fact that
they have an idle worthless man for a
husband, and must spend their whole
life in want and disappointments or
try for relief through the divorce
courts, which can only bring partial
relief, when this kind of mistake
has once been made. You can always
bank on the industrious young man.

less than five feet under the surface. Gener-
al statutes of Kansas. 1909. Section sss9 reads
as follows.
Section L If any person persons shah
put the carcas of any dead animal or domes-
tic fowl into any river. lane, lot. field mea-
dow or common; or if the owner or owners

The present epidemic which Is causing tue
death of thousand of horses all over the
country makes il necessary for the StrlctesC
adherence and enforcement of the law gov
an epidemic of typhoid among the people
should be interested in helping to keep down
sprsad of disease. but should there be any
neglect, failures or refusals the law will be
ridgidly enforced.
If buried. it should be in remote places not

Recommendation for Prevention OF
Horse Epidemic.

At conference in the Governors 5
office of the leading veterinarians
that have been investigating the di-
Sease affecting horses in the western
part of Kansas, it was the consensus
of opinion that few horses that have
been kept out of pasture and on dry
feed have been affected: that the out
break was primarily brought on by
climate conditions; and that it was
not, in the true sense of the term,
considered to be contagious. AS a
result of this conference, committee
consisting of Drs. o. o. Wolf, Otta-
wa, B. a. Robinson, Independence,
A. T. Kinsley, Kansas City, Mo, f.
S. Schoenleber, Manhattan, B. r.
Rogers, Manhattan, J. S. Buckley,
Washington, u. c., K. w. Stouder,
Topeka, and ]. II. Mercer, Live
by the governor to formulate recon-
mendatiOns that will benefit those
interested.
The recommendations, which do
not differ much from the previous Of
ficial recommendation for preven-
tion of this disease are as follows:
l. That all horses and mules be
taken off pasture until freezing
weather.
, Feed these animals on green
corn fodder, cane or Katir, bran, oil
laxative action.
B. Feed cautiously hay cut from
low or overfiowed land, or that land
receiveing drainage from pasture
f. See that the horses have pure,
wholesome water supply, free from
surface drainage, and, that they are
excluded from all still, stagnant or
surface water.
3. Empty, clean and thoroughly
disenfect all water troughs and tanks
by scrubbing out with a solution of
four ounces of carbolic acid in one
gallon of water, once week.
6. Fast the animal from twelve to
twenty-four hours and administer on
an empty stomach one quart of raw
linseed oil, to which has been added
two ounces of turpentine. Repeat
this in twelve to twenty-four hours
Great care should be taken in ad-
ministering the oil for fear of Stran-
gulation. Drench slowly. In case the
animal strangles, lower the head. A
quart and half of melted lard may
be substituted for the OIL This
course of treatment should be repeat
ed in from six to eight days. Never
give any drench through the nostril.
Instead of the oil capsule
composed of aIoin five drains,
wood creosote twenty drops,
may be given and repeated in one
week.
I. Allow the animals free access to
the following mixture: Powdered
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1912-09-21

iron sulphate, h., powdered copper
sulphate, II h., powdered glauber
salts, lbs, common salt, u lbs. Mix
the above ingredients thoroughly.
Some horses will die after being
fed on dry feed, but horse owners
should not become discouraged, but
should continue to keep them off
pasture and provide proper feed and
water as recommended.
CURATIVE MEASURES.
These are practically useless. as
most of the infected horses die. The
following has given best results:
L Keep the animal in a shady
place.
,. Place on top of the head cold
packs, either ice or water.
3. Do not drench affected animals,
as the throat may be paralyzed and
they cannot swallow; drenching will
therefore result in lung fever.
All of the above measures should
be thoroughly carried out, as half
hearted measures are useless.
Warning.
Office of
Livestock Sanitary Commissioner.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 10, 1912.
In many sections of our State where
the horse epidemic is raging, unscru
pulous persons are taking advantage
of the unfortunate conditions and
grating off the farmers by represent
ing they have remedies that will cure
the disease. This is nothing more or
less than a steal, and such grafters
ought to be prosecuted for procuring
money under false pretenses-
l would suggest to owners of horses
that they pay no money TO strangers
who are selling these fake remedies.

The Parcels Post.


partment will go into the express
business on limited scale January
/, 1913 when the new Bourne-Lewis
Parcels Post Bill goes into effect.
The postoffice department officials
are now working out the details for
the operation of the system. and
hope to have everything ready by
the time the new law goes into effect
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion recently outlined a zone system
for the making of rates by express
companies, the result of which if it
is finally ordered into effect will
greatly reduce rates all over the
country.
The parcels post system will operate
under the same sort of zone system
arrangement, but while its rates
rates for short distances, the
maximum rate probably will be as
high as the proposed new express
rates for maximum weights and
distances.
The particular effort in the franz
ing of the Parcels Post Law was
benefit to the farmer and at the same
time protect the country merchants
against the big mail order houses by
giving him preferential rates. That
is the reason for the zone system by
which the rate on parcels post mail
increases with distances. There is
also an insurance and collect no
delivery provision on the bill, which
applies both to the amount of the
postage and the price of the article
shipped.
that, hereafter, fourth class mail
matter shall embrace all other matter
including farm and factory products
not now embraced in either the first,
second or third class, not exceeding
eleven pounds in weight nor greater
in size than seventy two inches in
length and girth combined, and not
of character perishable within a
period reasonably required for trans
portation and delivery.
The United States and its territor-
les, including Alaska, but excepting
the Philippines, is to be divided into
eight postal zones, which are to be
worked out by experts.
The rate on fourth class matter
weighing not more than four ounces
is to be one cent for each ounce or
fraction thereof and on all matter in
excess of four ounces weight the rate
is to be by the pound, the postage in
all cases to be prepaid by distinctive
postage stamps. Rates are fixed as
follows for rural route or city delivery:
On all parcels post matter mailed
at the post office from which rural
route starts, for delivery on such
routes, or mailed on such routes for
delivery at any point on such route or
at the office from which the route
starts, or on any rural route starting
therefrom, and on all matter mailed
at city carrier from that office or at

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. II,
1912 The cattle market was strong
and active yesterday, but there is
weak feeling evidenced today, not
withstanding the run is only 1900
are exceptions, each of these classes
selling stronger today, veal calves
reaching $3.50. Calf receipts here in
eight months this year are fifty
thousand head less than same last
year, decrease of 45 per cent, and
they decreased from the high water
mark for two years previous to this
year, though not SO rapidly Fewer
cattle for breeding explains part of
the decrease, but it is plain also that
owners are holding back their calves
to some extent. Chicago shows an
increase this year, having record re-
ceipts of calves, but increased dairy
ing in that territory accounts for it.
Again there is no prime cattle here,
some branded steers selling at the
top SI0.1O, same as they brought
yesterday. Quarantine run is 81 cars
today, market about steady, steers at
most of the good cows around S4.75.
Texas and Oklahoma will have big
ger cotton crop this year than last,
which means more cattle fed at the
mills this year. That condition may
reduce receipts from now on, as there
is no special incentive to market i'm
mature steers. Stock steers range
from S4.25 to $3.50, feeders 5000 to
$3.50. Hog receipts today 1000 head,
market 10 lower, top $50, bulk $3.50
to 1855. The break is not believed
to be anything permanent, as condi-
tions are altogether on the bull side
of the market. Sheep and lambs tC-
day 13, 900, largely range stock. Heavy
wethers brought 81. 35 today, same as
yesterday, top lambs S7.35, five cents
under yesterday. Feeding lambs
bring s6.25 to s6.4O, yearlings $3.50 to
S5.35, breading ewes S4.0O to S4.35,
feeding ewes around $500 with a
fairly liberal amount of country stuff
available.
