gan had been subjected to5 a long
sinking spell.
called into consultation in ioonnec-
tion with Mr.. Morgan's illness, at
tributed the financier's breakdown to
emotion caused by the investigation
carried out by the Pujo Committee
at Washington into the operations of
the money trust"
shortly before his death the at
tending physicians, DR.. M. Allen
Starr, DIR. G. A. Dixon and PROFESSOR
G. Bastianelli, insisted that Mr. Nor
gan. was not suffering from any or
ganic trouble; that his extreme weak
ness and nervousness resulted from
his inability to take nourishment due
to paralysis of the muscles of the
throat.
Food was administered artificially
throughout the night by means of in
jections.
Mr. Morgan's condition throughout
the night was far from satisfactory.
Part of the time he was in coma
tose condition and at other times
while semi conscious he did not rec
ognize Herbert L. Satterlee, his SON
in-Iaw. and other members Of the
family at the bedside. Mr.. Morgan
tried to speak, but contraction Of
the throat followed.
The last religious observances were
administered at Mr.. Morgans bed
side and were conducted by the Rev.
DR.. Gardiner Brown, of the English
Episcopal Church at Rome, who Wis
tied the sick room short time be
fore death.
AS the end approached, Mr.. Nor
gan showed by the restless move
ments of his hands that he was suf-
fering acutely.
Among the persons in the death
room as Mr.. Morgan breathed his
last was his granddaughter, Miss
Helen Hamilton, and Mrs. FitZsimon,
another relative, who hurried here
from Cannes, France. Mr.. Morgan
did not recognize them nor Mrs. Sat
terlee, his daughter, who stood weep
ing at the bedside.
Mr. Morgan suffered his first at
tack on February IA, being compelled
TO abandon a sea trip which he had
planned from Cairo. Mr. Morgan
sailed from New York on his pres
ent trip on January on board the
Adratic. He arrived at Naples on
January % and visited the ruins Of
Pompeii, being then in perfect health,
apparently. The following day he
left Naples for Alexandria, Egypt,
and arrived in Cairo on February Z.
on February p. Professor Bas-
tianelli, a famous Italian specialist,
left Naples for Cairo and thereafter
remained at Mr.. Morgans bedside.
At that time il was reported that
the financier had suffered a stroke
of apopleXy.
on March 10 Mr. Morgan arrived
in Rome from Egypt. For almost a
week he motored daily and seemed
to be improving.
on Easter Sunday he attended
services in the American Church and
suffered a relapse. From that time
on alarming reports were circulated,
but as often as they cropped up, Mr..
Satterlee denied them. One of these
reports stated that he had suffered
brain paralysis. 1t was then said
Mr.. Morgan slept half of the time.
The fnancier grew rapidly worse,
and on Saturday Mr.. Satterlee and
the doctors began to admit the Sc
robustness of the case. .r.

SHUN THE TUBERCULOSIS cow
Satisfactorily ohewn That Man ls Sue.

By n. H. REYNOLDS. Veterinarian.

Three things have become quite
plain in the course Of q worldwide
study Of the relation between human
and bovine tuberculosis. ID That tu-
berculosis ID . common disease among
cattle. D That there are constant
opportunities tW transfer Of any pos
sible infection hsm cattle to people.
(O That man 70 at least susceptible
to bovine infection.
There can be no reasonable ques-
ton now that the most serious source
Of human tuberculosis. particularly for
older children and adults, Is the ad,
Vanced case Of human tuberculosis in
the home. It has been satisfactorily
shown. however, that man is at least
susceptible TO tuberculosis infection
from cattle and that tuberculosis
among young children, due 10 germs
from cows, is sufficiently common and
serious to make 1t necessary to recog-
nize the tuberculous COW as an i'm
portant element Of danger.
Barton County democrat., 1913-09-05
THE STATE FAIR.

There are those who are wonder
ing just what effect the continued un-
favorable weather for crops will have
upon the state fair. Anything to oc-
Gu in the future must be judged to
a large degree from experiences of
the past and observations of similar
events under similar conditions else
where. In 1901 at a meeting of the
Board, held on the 25th day of July,
conditions appeared so unfavorable
that motion was made to not hold
a fair that year. After a short dis
cuSSiOn the motion was lost unani-
mouSly. The Board went ahead with
the result that was most gratifying
to the management, the people and to
the exhibitors. Similar instances in
numbers might be sited here and else
where. But it is largely as the old
adage says "The darkest hour is Just
before the dawn" When conditions
arise in anyone's affairs business or
otnerwise, which temporarily en-
shroud the future in doubt, it is most
hkely time near the turn toward
happier and brighter things. Nothing
comes to him who hahs, hesitates or
stops. The men of power who do
things do not stop. They go ahead.
The history of all successful enter
priseS leads to but one conclusion,
and that is, to proceed, meet diff
euldes, overcome them and 90 ahead.
The exhibitors at The Kansas State
Fair are made up of this class of
successful men. Unpropritious weath
er conditions prevailing for a month
or two only causes them to redouble
their efforts. The result is, the ex-
hibitors will be at The Kansas State
Fair. The great tractor engine dis
play and demonstration will occur.
Those breeders having fitted show
herds of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine are making their entries and
engaging their stalls and pens. Those
having trained horses for speed or
the horse show are not even hesi-
tating as to whether or not they will
exhibit. OF course they will. The
same way with the visitor to the fair.
He cannot afford to drop out a year.
Kansas men are not made up of men
who are cutters The consequence
is the visitors will be here and as
usual the fiar will be a grand success
with many new and attractive featuur
es.
This weather viii change pretty
soon. The earth and all living things
will be refreshed and the Kansan
will forget. Let others tell their ex-
aggerated stories and let those be-
lieve who have an over supply of
credulity. Kansas will be wet down
the fan plowing and seeding will go
on, and prosperity, as usual, will shed
its benign influences Throughout the
sunflower kingdom Of Kansas.

cepted as such by the commissioners.
The route as proposed runs from the
east Barton county line through e.
linwood and to Great Bend on the
regular Ellinwood road. 1t leaves this
city running west Of 10th street for
two miles, then south to the Sam
Gwinn corner, from there four miles
to the corner of r. c. McMullen s
farm, south to the railroad track and
follows the track up to Pawnee Rock.
This route is undoubtedly one of the
best roads that could have been Sc.
lected, as the entire road is already
in good shape and can be kept that
way with very little expense, but
il is probable that number of farm
ers living along the Santa Fe be-
tween here and Dundee will have
some objections to make on the sub
ject, and can show reasons why the
road all along the track from here to
the Rock should be designated. The
commissioners will look over the
ground carefully before making any
decision and will place the road where
they think it will be the most benefit
to the most people, and at the same
time not be route that will cost
the tax payers too much to keep up
in good shape.
In the matter of Strengthening out
the road at the creek east of town
and putting in new bridge, the pc
titioners in this behalf were repre-
sented by Mayor Luse as spokesman,
who explained the matter thoroughly
to the board and offered that if the
county would make the cut for the
new channel and put in the bridge
that the work of making both the
fills would be donated the county by
those pushing the project. The CON-
missioners came back with a state
ment that if those desiring the
change would make both the cut and
the fills that the board would put
them in a modern concrete bridge
and have the road changed, and as
as matter now stands the proposition
still rests but will probably be ac-
cepted and the change will be made.
To put in a first class concrete bridge
at this point will cost the county close
to 5000 and the commissioners feel
that this is all they would be justi-
fled in doing in the matter.
Several other matters of minor i'm
portance were brought up and discuss
ed by the board, and an adjournment
was taken until their next regular
meeting the first Monday in October,
at which time the creek bridge pro-
position will be definitely settled.

There are to ciAsses and two
sources Of bitter milk. The first, &C
cording to the Ontario Agricultural
college. has q bitter taste when fresh

bitterness only atter standing some
time, and increases In intensity. This
is due to the growth Of bacteria.
When fresh miIk h bitter 1t may be
due to feeding Of Swedes, cabbages,

REPORT ON DAIRY BUSINESS


The United States census report
shows i1,7s6,77o dairy COWS in 1910,
a. compared with 1s,1Os,6ss in 1900,
an increase In ten years Of $685., ,10l,
or 2o.4 per cent The number Of peo-
pie In the United States increased q
per cent In the same period.
The total number Of pounds Of but.
ter made in 1909 was 1,6ls, s,I15.2 .263,
1899 1t was I,Aa1.fS2.so2, an increase
OF S.s per cent TAers was an in:
crease Of IS.7 Per cent In butter made
in the creamsriea. and a decrease Of
~ per cent. in butter made on farms;
61.4 per cent Of the butter was made
on the farms in 1909, as against 7l.S
per cent. In 1899.
The cheese industry shows a simi-
lar increase In total make, being 800.
5SS,lS1 pounds In 1909, as against
2sS,S44,642 pounds in 1899, an increase
OF IA per cent; Of this only 2.9 per
cent. was made on farms in 1908 and
5.5 per cent. IN 1899. There was a re-
duction of 42.s per cent. in the amount
OF cheese made on farms in the ten
years and an increase of 10s per cent
In the amount made In factories.
1t will be noted that the increased
population was almost in the same
ratio as the increase In number OF
dairy cows. Each dairy COW supplied
milk, butter, cheese, Ice cream, ETC.,
for Al persons In 1909 and 1899.
1t would appear that any shortage Of
dairy products must come about be-
cause the American people are con-
suming more than they did ten years
ago, and this undoubtedly il true.
