WILL NOT SECEDE
Garfield Men Say They Were
Duped at DightOn.
RemOnstrance Follows Closely
Upon Petition to Legislature.

Garden City, Kan, Jan. AFTER
experiencing two weeks of the most
intense internal friction since an
early Kansas legislature deprived it
of the dignity of a county, Garfield,
the largest Kansas township, has de-
cided not to secede from F'inney coun-
ty. Several days ago parties from
Lane and Gray counties invaded Gar
field and worked UP a secession SEN
timent which eliminated in a con-
ventfon at Dighton, county seat of
Lane county, in which a declaration
of independence was adopted.
Citizens of Garfield have always
nurtured a crouch because the coun-
ty government was abolished in 1887
and Lane and Gray county partisans
induced them to believe taxes would
be much lighter if they would secede
from Finney and divide between Lane
and Gray. A secession petition was
signed and ordered presented to the
next legislature.
Now Garfieldites say they We're
duped. 1t was all misrepresentation
and conspiracy. according to J. v.
k1ll1on, county commissioner-elect
from that part of Finney county. A
careful comparison shows taxes in
Gray higher than in Finney and those
in Lane practically the same
Besides it would cost Garfield land
owners between $50 and 500 a quar-
ter section to have the Finney coun-
ty records transcribed for Lane and
Gray counties. Many stockmen own
as high as 10000 acres and now con-
slider the project ridiculous. A re-
nonstrance has been drawn up here
signed by nearly every business man
In town, condemning the secession
movement and during the past few
days counter-petitions have been cir
culated in Garfield township, which
have been signed by nearly all the
residents, asking the coming legisla-
ture not to consider the petitions and
declaration of independence adopted
at the Dighton convention.

TRAIN HITS A BUGGY.
Five Persons Killed and Two Others
Dangerously Injured.

Dennison, Ia, Jan. Alive persons We're
killed and two probably fatally injured
when a Chicago & Northwestern train
struck a buggy one mile north of her e
shortly before midnight last night. The
dead are John Evers and his 6-year-old
son, JOHN Reimer, his wife and 5-months-
old baby.
The injured. John Reimer, aged 6, and
Minnie Reizner, IA. were taken to a local
hospital, where it is stated neither can
recover.
A sharp curve at a point just east of the
crossing made it impossible for Engineer
CHARLES Wheeler to see the buggy until it
was too late to stop before striking l..
he says: Neither of the two Reimer chill
dren was able to tell why their father
started over the crossing as the train ap-
preached. but it is thought his view CT
the tracks was INSTRUCTED because of the
sharp curve and that the noise of the
vehicle made it impossible for him to hear
the train approaching.

Uric Acid in Meat

Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

+ YOU must have your meat every

Il salts occasionally, says a noted
uthority who tells us that meat

the kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug

a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours.

er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated. obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
TO neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here. take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

IsFIayed Alive by Rep. Nc
KeIIar in The House.
"VOraCiOuS VuIiures Of Market
Place" "pIunderbund Sharks"
His Pure Food Bill Would Put These
Creatures Out Of Business.

Washington, Dec. S.-"Voracious
Vultures of the market places and
"Plunderbund of food sharks" were
characterizations applied to sold stor-
age spectators who corner perishable
food stuffs to boost price, by Rep.
Mcclellan of Tennessee, when he spoke,
Monday, championing his bill for fed
eral regulation of the cold storage
business.
Saying that his proposed legislation
was not designed to injure the cold
storage business as such, Mr.. Nickel
lar declared:
THE drastic features of the bill are
only aimed at the corrupt and dishon-
est, at the gamblers and spectators,
at the voraeious vultures who stand
around in the market places and reap
where they have not sown and fatten
on other peoples food
The Mcclellan bill, which would
prescribe both prison terms and heavy
fines for violation of its terms, would
make it Illegal to ship adulterated and
misbranded food products into inter-
state commerce and would limit the
periods in which food products may be
held in storage, without becoming
adulterated.
