AFTER BLOODHOUNDS
Wakarusa Citizens Are Planning the
Purchase of Two Dogs.

With implicit faith in the ability of
bloodhounds to run down criminals.
residents of Wakarusa are making an
effort to raise funds for the purchase
of two experienced dogs.
M L. McFadden, proprietor of a
summer resort at Wakarusa and also
a special deputy sheriff, this morning
journeyed to Topeka to advise county
officials of the action to increase the
equipment in the sehriff's department.
According to McFadden. residents of
Wakarusa are willing to contribute
literally to a fund to purchase blood
hounds and he suggests that if To-
pekans will contribute to the fund, no
difficulty should be encountered in
securing the animals.
Residents of Wakarusa started the
agitation to buy bloodhounds shortly
after an attempted assault on a school
teacher near the town several weeks
ago. No definite action was taken,
however, until Tuesday afternoon
afternoon when a report of the muir
der of little Edna Dinsmore reached
Wakarusa.
McFadden suggests that consider
able revenue can be obtained by rent
ing the dogs to officials of other coun-
ties.
Shawnee county has never owned
full grown bloodhounds, although dur
ing one of John Wilkerson's terms as
sheriff, the county had possession of
several young hounds.

ON ARMED SHIP
President Outlines L. s. Policy
to the World.
Merchantmen Can't Be Pre-
Sumed To Be a Warship.

Washington. April 26.-A statement
defining the attitude of the United
States toward armed merchant ships
was made public today by the state
department, at direction of President
Wilson. 1t originally was prepared as
a circular note to other powers but it
was later decided to issue it as a state
ment.
The statement holds to the right of
a merchant ship to arm for protection
only but declares, that merchantmen
which have used their ornaments for
aggressive purposes are not entitled
to the same hospitality in neutral ports
as peaceable armed merchantmen"
Not WaTship.
The statement treats at length of
those difficulties in status and sums
them up as follows:
THE status of an armed merchant
vessel as a warship in neutral waters
may be determined in the absence of
documentary proof or conclusive evil
dence of previous aggressive conduct
by presumption derived from all the
circumstances of the case.
THE status of such vessel as war
ship on the high seas must be deter
mined only upon conclusive evidence
of aggressive purposes in the absence
of which it is to be presumed that the
vessel has a private and peaceable
character and it should be so treated
by an enemy warship."

WAS A DRY WEEK
Little Rain in Kansas, Says
Weather Bureau Report.
Crops and Fruit Meet With
Fair Conditions.

Very little rain fell in Kansas this
week except in the extreme northern
counties, where there were moderately
heavy showers, says the summary of
the weeks weather furnished by the
local weather bureau. The ground has
been in fine shape for blowing and
seeding except in the eastern third of
the state, from the Kansas river val
ley to the Oklahoma line, where it is
still too wet.
1t was cooler than either of the two
preceding weeks, though temperatures
were still above the seasonal average,
and the growth of crops has been slow
in comparison with the progress they
made two and three weeks ago. There
was light freeze in the extreme west
frosts here and there in the eastern
portion on the 22d. No damage was
done by them. On the 9th several
destructive tornadoes occurred in the
eastern part of the state, the most
damage being done in Shawnee and
Allen counties. Some hail fell here
and there over the state the same day
but it was mostly light and not dam
aging.
1t was another favorable week for
wheat which, with some unimportant
exceptions, is looking fine. Good rains
in most of the north-central counties
improved conditions materially as the
surface soil there has been too dry
for several weeks. Reports from
oats, pastures and alfalfa are all flat
tering. Alfalfa is up from inches to
a foot high in most of the eastern
counties.
Corn Planting General.
Corn planting has been in full blast
in the south-central counties and has
begun in a small way in other parts
except the southeastern counties.
where it is still delayed by wet ground.
I'll onn1 and in several
places too wet for potatoes, which are
coming up slowly
Prospects for all fruits, except
peaches, are flattering- Apples, cher
ries and plums are blooming all over
the state and in the southeastern
counties strawberries are setting on.
Summary of weather and crop con-
ditions in corn and wheat region for
the week ending April rs:
washington, d. C., April 26--The
weather was very favorable for win
ter wheat in most districts. General
rains in the central states checked the
development of the Hessian fly
Spring wheat seeding was delayed
in the extreme north by cold weather
but termination was satisfactory in
the southern part of the region.
Corn is coming up well in the south
ern portion and planting and blowing
is progressing satisfactorily in the CEN
trail states, although somewhat later
than the average.
The weather was generally favor
able for pastures, meadows, oats,

What CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shownthat nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
Of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which IS a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.
