S1ANDP*TTERs DIVIDED
TAFT Wing Of Iowa Faction Ignores
Regulars and Proposes to Take Man.
aaemsnt Of Campaign Away From,
State Communications Reason For
kendall's Withdrawal.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. lot is learned
here that one of the reasons for the
withdrawal Of Congressman Kendall Is
the fact which has come out that
complete secession OF the Taft stand
patters Is contemplated in Iowa and
that they intend to. organize a COM
mittee, to take over the duties OF the
state committee and ignore the regular
organization. They will not recognize
the regulars in any way, either IN state
or congressional matters, and insist
upon hnd1ing all funds coming from
the congressional national committee,
realized from the trusts and combines,
and coming from the committee headed
by Hlles. without giving any aid
whatever to the regular committee
looking after the general welfare or
the party.
II is regarded certain this would
operate to bring on such a war IN the
congressional districts as to give the
democrats a big advantage.
In the Sixth district there mas oeen
inststent demand that the candidate
must be a standpatccr. It ia expected
that g. staunch standpatter will be
named for the place.

Council Bluffs. Aug. 10.-The scarc-
ity of cattle has thoroughly alarmed
the officers Of the South Omaha Live
stock Company. and also the packers
and q few days ago the manager for
PEELED to close their cattle killing
houses entirely. He painted very
pessimistic picture Of the future II the
farmers did not pay more attention to
the production of cattle.
General Manager Buckingham, Of the
stock yards, also talked In severe terms
Of the beef shortage, OF It's conse-
quences to trade and labor and OF pos
sible means Of correcting the evil. He
advocates the federal government tax
ing tighter hold Of the situation, advo-
Gated the passage Of laws prohibiting
the sale Of COWS and heifers and pro-
viding a penalty for it for a number OF
years. He criticises the public which
he holds responsible for some OF the
shortage. He says the public demands
veal and will have nothing else for
months at a time, and says the country
needs a lesson or two in the matter OF
conservation.
Farmers Are Blamed.
However, Mr.. Buckingham charges
the farmers with the greater part of
the responsibility for the present beef
shortage. and says that the mad scram-
BILE to take advantage OF the present
high prices for beef of ans and all
kinds is causing thousands/5f short
sighted stock growers into the error
Of selling off all their young cows and
heifers, thus endangering the pro-
pagation of beef supplies throughout
the country. He says the craze is ma
ton wide.
South Americas Plan.
It is said that a number OF South
American republics have passed laws
forbidding the sale Of the she stun
under seven years OF age and Mr..
buckingham hopes for a similar law
here. While we are all ranting about
the high price Of beef" Mr.. Bucking-
ham says. 1t seems that we are not
getting right down to. the real cause
or looking for remedy. What every
one interested in live stock should do
is to encourage the raising Of more
cattle. In sections of the country there
is room for the breeding OF millions
more cattle and hogs. AS long as the
cattle shortage exists there will be
better market for hogs. so they should
not be neglected. With the great crops
OF grain we are having every farmer
should turn to livestock.
G1srnmsrt Must Act.
1T Is a shame the way young cows
are being sold for beef all over the
country. How can we expect to have
large herds II this continues? This
would be a good thing for the govern
ment experts to take hold Of. II any
steps are taken to protect the cows II
must be thru the national government,
since II 1t were taken UP by the states
it would simply injure the business in
that one section"

Special to Times-Republican.


Nevada. Aug. 10.-Anthrax. an in
fictitious and usually fatal disease has
been discovered in the herd Of cattle
belonging to George Marriott. who
lives on farm belonging 10 B. Il.
Armstrong near Gearing. The state
veterinarian has been notified and it
IS supposed that the herd will be quar-
antined and attended to at once. Those
affected with the disease will likely be
killed while those yet unaffected will
be taken away and vaccinated.
Within the past few days six cattle
have died very suddenly in the herd,
some of them showing no signs Of dis
ease or sickness, simply topping over
dead almost instantly. DR.. Ricketts,
was called and after examining the
herd and suspecting anthrax had a
miscroscopica! examination Of one OF
the animals made and the germ was
easily observable.
Infected From Germs.
Investigation discioses that the ten
ant who lived on the farm last year
lost ten or eleven head Of cattle during
the summer but as none OF them APP
peared showed any indication of dis
ease until they were found dead, he
called no veterinarian and the nlyster-
ious cause Of the death of the cattle
was never disclosed. 1t is now sup
posed that the germ was transmitted
to that herd in some unknown manner
and was left there by them to be
transmitted to the herd OF Mr.. Mar
riott.
Anthrax is described as an infectious
and unusually fatal disease Of animals,
especially cattle and sheep and Is oc-
casionaly transmitted to man by in
oculation. 1t is characterized by ulcer
alton Of the skin, enlargement OF the
spleen and, a general collapse.
The discovery of the existence Of the
disease in the neighborhood Is caus
ing the neighboring farmers to fear
grave danger Of a spread OF the dis
ease. Every precaution viii be taken
TO prevent a spread Of the same.
