MAIL CARRIERS
GET RAISE IN SALARY
Recent Law Adds Much TO Payroll
'i OF Abilene POstOffice.

A law recently passed by congress
and signed by President Taft will
raise the maximum rate paid rural
mail carriers in this state from
$1,000 to $1,1O0. This will make
a large increase in the yearly pay
roll of the Abilene carriers, accord
ing to Acting Postmaster Harger,
who received notice of the change
IN the rate today. The new rate
goes into effect September 80.
The instructions received follow:
"General appropriation act proVid-
ing for the expense Of the postal
service during the fiscal year end
ing June 80 1913, has been signed
Iby the president. BY the terms OF
tke act the salaries of rural carriers
are to be increased to the maximum
Iof $1.1OO per annum, effective Sep
Itember 80, 1912. The schedule OF
new rates of pay effective ON that
date and full instructions In rela-
ton to the quarterly rendering oi
vouchers will be conta ned In the

A PERTINENT INQUIRY TO MIR.
ANDERSON AND MIR. RICE.

Editor Reflector; l notice that II.
A. Anderson, candidate for state
senator. and A. w. Rice, candidate
for representative, at the Repubii-
can party council held in Topeka
this week voted to remove the
names of Taft and Sherman
from the head of the Republican
ticket, and also voted to keep the
Taft electors off the Republican bal
lot. thus making 1t impossible for
the Republican voters of Dickinson
and other counties in Kansas to cast
their votes for President Tart IN
November. This is a very strange
action for men to take who are
asking Republican votes and we are
led to wonder how the 5000 Re-
publican voters in Clay and Dick
inson will like this procedure when
they wake up to the fact that they
have been disfranchised and cannot
vote for a Republican President.
am not surprised that, when Boss
stubbs cracked the whip that Rice
and Anderson fell into line for
Roosevelt and rendered stubbs val
liable assistance in his mad effort
to steal the Taft vote in Kansas
But where does the plain common
voter come in who desires to vote
for President Taft, when under this
infamous deal he cannot do 1t?
4 An explanation from these two
candidates is due the voters Of Clay
and Dickinson counties.
Since the hssd sof the RepuRlfcar
ticket does not seem to be good
enough for Mr.. Anderson and Mr.
Rice would 1t not be the proper and
honorable thing for these two men
to withdraw from the ticket and
get over on the Bull Moose ticket
which they are supporting? Is
there any good reason or obliga-
ton on the part of true Republicans
to vote for Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Andre
SON since they have helped to dis
franchise the party in Kansas?
A REPUBLICAN.

Big Celebration at
Two County Places

everyone had the time of his life.
TIE feature OF the morning was
the big parade in which practically
all OF the merchants OF Chapman
PARTICIPATED with floats. There we're
bus ness floats, historical floats
humorous floats and just floats, and
then there were automobiles dressed
especially for the parade, many
country people in decorated rigs and
the Fort Riley band added to the
enthusiasm OF the occasion with the
finest kind of music military band
is able to furnish.
At noon the great crowd OF farm
ers and other visitors gathered on
the high school campus for a bas-
ket dinner which proved the un-
doing of the best chickens and other
edibles OF the community. After dim
ner CONTESTS and games of all sorts
were played, including base ball
game between Chapman and Salina
i'm which Chapman came out ON the
long end OF 10 to 2 score.
The threatening storm in the ev-
enng kept down the attendance
from the country bpt the people
who were already in town had a
big time. The Fort Riley band gave
an evening concert and moving
picture show in the high school
building was open free Of charge
to all the guests. The day ended
lin big, old fashioned dance. There
were all kinds OF attractions on the
grounds which go into the makeup
of a successful celebration. State
superintendent Fairchild was pres
ent and was the speaker of tho
afternoon. A large number OF the
county candidates we're also present

pie OF the Chapman vicinity.

Dread Horse Disease
Reaches Dickinson


the state agricultural college do not
agrse ON the cause for the trouble
lbut they are both prescribing reme-
dies which seem to be checking its
spread.
The state Yeterinaries say that the
disease is caused by palisade worm
whicN works from the digestive
tract into the blood causing a ciot-
,, ting Of the blood which kills tn ;
animal. The experts at X. s. A. G.
say that the disease is cerebro-
spinal meningitis and is much like
the same disease in human beings.
"It is our opinion" said DR.. r. X.
lDykstra Of X. S. A. c. that dis
eased animals contaminate the food
and water supply. Healthy animals
contract the disease b. taking the
germ into thaia, systems with this
contaminated food and water. Bas-
ing our conclusions on these findings
we make the following recommen-
dation for the prevention of the dis
ease:
"Remove all litter and rubbish
from the barnyard OF corral, and
from the hangers Thoroughly scrub
out all water buckets, troughs and
tanks. Disinfect all these premises
and containers by applying liberal
application of some reliable disin-
lfectant, such as ordinary dip, two
per cent carbolic acid, etc.
"Remoye all horses from their
accustomed feeding and grazing
places and place them in the disin-
fected corrals and barns. Feed
them green corn fodder, green sill
age and oil cake meal or any food
THAT has a laxative action. Every
time the horse is watered from one
Ihalf to one teaspoonful of permanga-
nate of potash should be put, in each
Ibucketful of water. Horses should
! be kept away from diseased ami
tmais, ana All articles or pieces thai
have come in direct contact with
these animals should be Immediately
disinfected. Horses should be kept
from pasture till cooler weather be-
gins. Diseased horses should have
a separate attendant, and all water
buckets and other utensils used foI
sick horses should be kept away
from healthy animals. These meas
lures should be thoroughly carried
out as half hearted attempts are
useless.
i "Most of the affected horses die
But curative measures will hep
some. The following have given
the best results:
Keep the animal in q shady
place. Place on top of the head
cold packs either Of ice or water
IOr this mixture may be used: One
pound Of Clauber salt, one pound
of ordinary salt, and one pound Of
tsaIt petre. To these shOnld be added
la small quantity Of vinegar. Do
mot dreneh affected animals as the
Throat Is paralysed and they can
mot swallow; drenching will there
lfore result in lung fever. Every
1.-Two or three hours inject into the
Irectum about one-half gallon OF cold
water, and three or four times daily
Inject in the same way some milk
Ito which has been added two OF
three well beaten eggs"

Iwork being done by the college may

lInary department.

The extensive sprehu Ol bho W.
demic among the horses In this part
Of the state has called forth the
greatest efforts Of the specialists %
stamp It out. To this end the hsaith
officers of every county have re-
ceived special communications from
the state board of health. The fol-
lowing notice came to DR.. Conklin
yesterday:
"There seems to be an extensive
epidemic among horses in the west
ern counties, the nature of which Is
not yet fully determined, but prob
ably of an infectious character close
ly related to meningitis.
"In many communities these ami
mails are allowed to remain where
they die, or are hauled out onto
commons or pastures to be disposed
of by coyotes or vultures. Indeed,
the practice of throwing dead ami
mails on city dumps or pastures
without proper disposal is only too
prevalent throughout the entire
state, and i invite your attention
to Section 1929 of the general sta
tutes of 1909 which makes such
action a misdemeanor.
/ wish you would be SO good as
to give public notice in all your
country papers requiring the imnle-
diate destruction, either by burning
or burial of all dead animals. This
is particularly important in the case
of the epidemic now prevalent
among horses, as it is very likely
due to some infectiods agent which
might be easily carried by dogs or
birds, and thus the lives OF other
animals be endangered"
The disease among horses which
has been raging sfor some time n
the western part of the state has
reached Dickinson county and al
ready a number of horses have died
: and there are at the present Time
about thirty horses In the county
infected with the disease. The lo-
cal veterinaries have been busy since
Saturday night with the cases which
this mysterious disease has brought
and one of them said this morning
that they have not tken able to
prescribe a remedy and probably
would not be. A horse belonging
to w. B. Burkholder took sick San
day and fell into a tank OF water.
The water seemed to give relief and
since that time stream OF cold
water has been poured on him con-
tinuously. The horse is getting bet
ter. There are several cases in
Abilene and one horse belonging to
Geo. Jones and valued at $500 died.
The horse took sick Tuesday and
was dead in few hours. Temple
TyIer. Mr.. Wycliff and Mr.. Kready
who live in the country have lost
several horses and practically all
Of them have died within six to
eight hours from time the disease
attacked them. That the disease il
spreading fast Is to be seen from
the fact that more than thirty cases
have been reported since saturday
night. The trade in horses is being
Temoralized by the disease and un-
less it is headed off soon there will
not be enough horses left to do the
work ON the farms. A farmer In
the western part Of the state lost
eight OF his nine horses and the
disease has done the same thing for
many pther formers. The state
