Topeka, Kan, Aug. 30.-Gov.

The disease has appeared in Ness, Rush, Cove, Hodgeman, Ford, Gray, Kiowa, Barton and Sheridan counties. The state has sent five men into the field, all the available men the officials can secure It is because of this lack of men that the governor asked the government to help.
 It is asserted by J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner, that the disease has already killed horses valued at more than S100,00O. It is believed the disease is caused by fungus poison, due to the luxuriant growth of the grass during the late summer.

LIVE STOCK A FEATURE OF THE
 ARKANSAS FAIR
Showing Will Surpass Anything Ever Made in Former Years of
 the Fair.

One of the biggest and most inter- esting features of the 1912 Arkansas State Fair will be the Live Stock Exhibit, which will be greater and better than ever since the first year of the fair.
 In every department will be seen the pick and choice from the flocks and stables of the celebrated breed CTS of the country, and there will be a number of classes shown which will be absolutely new to the peo- pie of Arkansas.
 In the horse department are regu- lar awards and special prizes for light harness horses, draft horses of all breeds, roadsters, thoroughbreds, saddle horses, mules, Shetland po- nies, and a special class for show horse classes, including road and car riage horses, saddlers, single driv- CTS, tandems, draft and pony classes This department will include the greatest aggregation of exhibition animals ever brought together in Ar kansas.
 There is a special list of prizes for Percherons.
 Tn the cattle department will be seen the pick of the great breeding herds of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri Kansas, Tennessee and other states in the following breeds: Shorthorns, Herefords, Jerseys, Holsteins, Aber- deen Angus, and Brown Swiss. This exhibit will be of especial interest to the farmers and stock raisers of the State, as these breeders usually show a full herd, from herd bull to sucking calves, thereby demonstrat- ing the practicability and value of pure bred stock.
 Tn the hog department there will be shown all the popular breeds, Duroc-Jerseys, Poland Chinas, Berk- shires, Yorkshires and Tamworths There will be list of special awards in the Berkshire and Duroo-Jersey classes.
 The sheep and goat departments offer a full line of premiums for all classes, with special awards in the Angora goat class.
 The facilities for housing and showing livestock at the Arkansas State Fair are better and more ela- borate than is offered by any state fair in the country. The barns and pens are all new and modern, com. fortable, convenient and sanitary, and exhibitors are guaranteed the very best quarters and exhibitions rings in the entire country
 Among the most attractive and educational exhibits at the fair will be the students livestock judging contest, in which students from the f. IT agricultural colleges of the State will participate. This feature will add materially to the State wide interest in the stock shows.

DEMONSTRATION
 CLUB WORK FOR
 BOYS AND GIRLS
U. $. Department of Agriculture and University of Arkansas
 Cooperating.

Perhaps the greatest single new feature of the Arkansas State Fair from an agricultural standpoint, will be the Boys and Girls Demonstra- ton Work of the United States De- partment of Agriculture and the Uni versity of Arkansas in cooperation with the State Fair.
 The school of agriculture will be conducted each day of the fair by some of the best known demonstra- tors and lecturers in the country. There will also be girls school of domestic science under the same con- ditions Two boys and two girls from each county may attend these demonstrations, in which all the principles of farming and domestic science will be taught There Is a long list of special prizes for the boys and girls, donated by indiN- duals and firms who are interested in furthering agricultural education, ranging from $100 in cash to schol- arships, trips to Washington, etc. Full particulars of this department is given in the State Fair premium list, which is now ready for distri- button. and can be had upon apph- cation to Secretary Geo. R. Bedding. Hot Springs.
 In addition will be the Students Livestock Judging Contest, to which the students of the agricultural schools are eligible. but any farmers son under 25 years of age may enter the contest for the cash prizes, if he has never attended an agricultural school
 Each agricultural school will be entitled to enter five students for trophies, these to constitute the team from each college. These will con- sist of judging horses. cattle, sheep and swine, and promises to be a de- cidedly interesting feature of the livestock exhibit of 1912.
 The State Fair management is talk ing a decided interest in the boys and girls of the State, realizing that in these youngsters the State Fair must depend for its future exhibit ors. Every opportunity Is given the boys and girls to participate in this work, and early indications are that the boys and girls will have a promi- nent part In the coming State Fair. Each year this boys and girls de- partment will be enlarged in scope ard the farm children are earnestly urged to cooperate with the manage ment in making this department a success.
 Transportation, room and lodging will be provided at low rates in or der that the expense will be as light as possible upon the contestants and n nt tra fC E. la cers expect to see hundreds of boys and girls taking part in this demon stration and judging work this year.

Daughter Speaks-Crush at Memorial-1oo,o0o in
 Line.

London, Aug. 30-Twenty thousand Salvationists, massed in 51 brigades with 40 bands and accompanied by 100000 sympathizers, marched through packed ranks of spectators estimated as numbering 2,000,000 to Abney Park Cemetery to lay the body of their late commander, Gen. William Booth, to rest beside his wife, who preceded him ''across the river" more than 20 years ago.
 The procession formed on Victoria embankment at 11:30 a. m. On it's march of five miles to the cemetery it passed Salvation Army headquarters in Queen Victoria street, where the waiting joined the line.
 Draping the coffin was the Salva tion Army's "blood and fire" flag, and on it lay Gen. Booths uniform, cap and his Bible.
 The services. at the graveside be- gan with the singing of the hymn 70, Death, Where Is Thy Sting 0, Grave, Where Is Thy Victory" by a chorus of thousands of voices.
 American Offers Prayer.
 Lieut. Coldamon of America then of fered prayer and Mrs. Booth-Hel- berg sang a special hymn, 70 Bound less Salvation" Bramwell, Catherine and Eva Booth and several others spoke. As the coffin was being low cred into the grave the throng sang @f Bramwell Booth recited the commit. ment as follows:
 Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to promote our beloved General William Booth, from his place and DO sition in the Salvation Army to that prepared for him above, we now com nit his body to the grave, earth to earth, in the sure and certain hope of seeing him again on the morning of resurrection
 Though the Auditorium Olympia is the largest in London, it was made Quate to hold the thousands who flock ed to the memorial services held there for Gen. Booth last night. Crowd Delays Services. 
 The hearse reached the cemetery an hour and a half late. owing to the enormous crush of spectators in the streets through which it passed. Thousands tainted in the crowd, and many persons suffered minor injuries The throng was especially dense in the vicinity of Salvation Army head quarters, where, despite the immense force of constables, the packed mass broke through the police lines and de layed the procession for many min utes.
 Hundreds of the marchers fell out | of line from exhaustion before the cemetery was reached. Many of them were so prostrated that it was neces sary to remove them to hospitals in ambulances.
