Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season of the year,
but this cannot be said of the rheuma-

brings on rheumatic pains which are
anything but pleasant. They can be
relieved, however, by applying Cham

DEADLY FIRE IN
 K.C. STOCK YARDS
SEVERAL THOUSAND CATTLE ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE
 BEEN BURNED.
THE LOSS UNDETERMINED
Owners Experienced Difficulty in Identifying Property, as Large Per centage of Stock From Herds Had
 No Identification Brands.

Kansas City, Mo.-More than one half of the Kansas City stock yards, the second largest in the country, was destroyed by fire. It was esti- mated after the fire had been brought under control, after raging for two hours, that several thousand head of cattle had been destroyed. Some esti- mates ran as high as 10000 There were 47,000 cattle in the yards at the close of business, it was said, and while it was possible to liberate most of them, so rapidly did the flames gain headway that many were caught and burned.
 Hundreds of cattle liberated from the burning structures reached the downtown sections of both Kansas City, Mo, and Kansas City, Kan.
 The blaze was discovered by two policemen in Kansas City, Kan, but before they could summon apparatus the fire had become manageable. Fire departments from both Kansas Citys combatted the flames. The origin of the ire was undetermined. No estimate of the financial loss was available.
 By o'clock the fire had been ex- tinguished, after the firemen had been fighting it with approximately 100 pieces of fire apparatus and with dy- namite.
 No definite estimates as to the loss will be made until insurance adjust CTS have taken a census of the num- Der of cattle burned, since the fire was confined to the cattle pens, which comprise the larger part of the yards.
 The thousands of cattle which were liberated from the pens are being cor ralled. Owners are finding difficulty in identifying their property, as a large pencentage of the stock is from herds and carries no identifying brands. The Kansas City stock yards are owned and controlled by corpo- ration, many of the officers of which are Eastern men, and large amount of the stock is held in the East
 Throughout the morning rifiemen and sledgehammer bearers, under d. rection of humane society officers, went about the stock yards killing dis abled animals.
 Very few swine were burned. The hog pens were reached by the flames, but most of the animals were hberat- ed. Late in the morning the fire still smouldered in scores of places.

PARDON FOR WRIGHT FIRMLY PROTESTED
SEVERAL PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN OF FORT SMITH OF.
 POSE ITS GRANT.
CITE CONDITIONS OF CITY
Dlsolaim Fight On Union, But Insist That out-of- Town Aoitatlons Are Preiudcing clty's Material
 Interests.

Little Rock
 Several prominent business men of Fort Smith called on Governor Brough and filed protest against pardon for Mayor Wright of Fort Smith. The application for a pardon would be presented to the governor at once, members of the party said.
 D, B. Crane. president of the Busi- ness Mems Club of Fort Smith, head ed the party.
 We came down here to present our side of the trouble at Fort Smith to the governor" said MT Crane, "and @ lay before him some facts in regard to conditions In Fort Smith that have not been made public. We are anx- ious that the reign of anarchy end at Fort Smith and we are doing every thing in our power to bring matters to that conclusion.
 we have no fight to wage on union labor as such, but conditions, through factional interference, have been in- tolerable in Fort Smith and Sebas- tian county. What is the use in us putting up hundreds of thousands Of dollars as bonuses to make Fort Smith one of the industrial cities of the southwest, when agitators from out of town cripple our efforts and destroy our investments?
 Here is one thing that happened in Fort Smith that I dare say will not ho ran0rtad to f1,a voo11o oe 4I,o state: At the high school auditorium over 500 of the representative citizens formed themselves into a law and or der league, the purpose of which is to take drastic steps to end the pres ent conditions. John Ayers presided over the meeting. Dr. P. F. Horan, rector of the Church of the Immacu- late Conception, perhaps the most brilliant priest in the entire south, de- livered an address upon the duties of citizenship, and W. H. Johnson, gen. eral manager of the Fort Smith Wa. gon Works, the largest factory of it's kind in the South, spoke upon indus trial relations.
 Perhaps the chief address was made by Frank A. Youmans, judge of the United States court of the Vest ern District of Arkansas, who scored the city officers for refusing to do their duty.
 "There will be a committee down here soon 10 see the governor in re- gard to pardon for Mayor Wright We have no intention to embarrass the governor in controversy into which politics have been injected, but we deemed it only just to the people of Fort Smith, who have suffered by this agitation, that statement of conditions be published and scattered over the state"

 "A proclamation
 The second Liberty loan gives the people of the United States another opportunity to lend their funds to their government to sustain their country at war. The might of the United States is being mobilized and organized to strike a mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty. Billions of dollars are re- quired to arm, feed and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our country's battles and to as- sist the nations with whom we are making common cause against com mon foe.
 Now. therefore, I, Woodrow VII son, president of the United States of America, do appoint Wednesday, the 24th of October, as Liberty Day, and urge and advise the people to assem- ble in their respective communities and pledge to one another and to the government that represents them the fullest measure of financial support On this afternoon of that day I re- quest that patriotic meetings be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout he land, under the general direction of the secretary of the treas ury and the immediate direction of the Liberty loan committees which have been organized by the federal reserve banks.
 The people responded nobly to the call of the first Liberty loan with an oversubscription of more than 50 per cent. Let the response to the second loan be even greater and let the amount be so large that it will serve as an assurance of unequaled support to hearten the men who are to face the fire Of battle for us. Let the re- suit be so impressive and emphatic that it will echo throughout the em- pire of our enemy as an index of what America intends to do to bring this war to a victorious conclusion.
 "For the purpose of participating in Liberty Day celebrations all employees of the federal government through ou the country whose services can be spared may be excused at 12 o'clock Wednesday, the 24th of October.
 Tn witness whereof, I have hereun- to set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done in the District of Columbia, this 18th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun dred and seventeen ant of the inde- pendence of the United States Of America the one hundred and forty. second.
