Topeka Capital: Captain J. M. Hu
ber, one of the prominent farmers and
stockmen of Jefferson county, says that
the stockmen of that section are losing
heavily by the death of hogs from hog
cholera or some disease or tnat charac
ter. One farmer near Meriden has re
cently lost 150 head, and many others
in that section have had serious losses.
Captain Huber says that the disease
seems to bo a mystery; the veterinari
ans are unable to check it They
have been experimenting for some time,
but have failed to do any good. It was
thought at one time, Captain Huber
says, that the inoculation remedy -would
stop it, but it seems to be doing very
little good. Captain Huber says that
stockmen are very much discouraged.
Prices are so low that they are losing
money right along. Hogs bring only
three cents lower than for many
years. "With corn at such high figures,
the stockmen can't afford to feed
much. Cattle are very low, and Gap
tain Huber says there is no demand for
horses.

Congress had on it a responsibility which, in
his judgment, it could not avoid for any
great period of time without letting go by a
very great opportunity for helping the coun
try, and one which, in his judgment, would
not occur again in a great many years. If
something was not done in the nexttwo or
Jbreeweets it might as well be postponed
indefinitely.

A Few Fact for Frunnl Farmer.
The fanner hai a thoughtful and puzzled look
sow-a-days. Hs is estimating tho Yalue of his
hogs auattying to understand why the packer who
Introduced the ConcerXard Bftlln Congress, which
proposes to tax Lard Compound la masquerading
aa his friend and benefactor. He knows well that
this pre tension Is absurd because the packer screws
him down in price when purchasing, mates all,
oris of claims, and in a word, lives by the sweat
Of the farmer's brow instead of that of his own.
The farmer should understand that the passage
of this bill will practically close up refineries that
stake over 300.000,000 lbs. of Idurd Compound per
aunm, of which hog lard is the principal Ingred
ient. These refiners are the largest customers that
the farmer has for his hogs. If they stop the de
demand from them will cease. The farmer must
then go to the packers as his only customers, and
th ey will dictate terms and prices.
To illustrate : If a farmer has two customers for
one hog, he can fix his own price for It, but let
him have one customer for two hogs, and the cus
tomer will fix the price. Naturally, & larger de
mand for hogs makes prices firmer; so that the
packer, having destroyed his competitors, will have
the farmer in his power.
It was the packers who Introduced this Bill.
Bef erence to the records of tha Agricultural Com
mittee of the Fiftieth Congress will show this.
Congress would do a foolish thing to pass It, for it
Is equivalent to taking sides in trade matters and
a Government that is established on the basis of
equality and equal rights for all, violates the first
Srinciples of its existence when it considers legis
ition of this invidious characUr.
There is no doubt but that a general pure food
bill should be passed, whereby the public would
be protected against unprincipled manufactursrs
and dealers, but it la unjust and Iniquitous to
discriminate against a special Industry, parti
cularly where that will benefit a rival industry.
993 out of 1079 farmers recently addressed, fa
vored the passage of a general pure food bill and
the Alliances throughout the country are pasting
resolutions in favor of this and condemning the
Conger Bill. The farmer will therefore contribute
to his own welfare by working through his Sautters
to tfiiot the defeat of the Bill.

We'll write it down till
everybody sees it
Till everybody is sick of
seeing it
Till everybody knows it
without seeing it
that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy cures the worst cases of
chronic catarrh in the head,
catarrhal headache, and " cold
in the head."
In perfect faith, its makers,
the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association of Buffalo,
N. YM offers to pay $500 to
any one suffering from chronic
catarrh in the head whom
they cannot cure.
Now if the conditions were
reversed if they asked you to
pay $500 for a positive cure
you might hesitate. Here are
reputable men, with years of
honorable dealing; thousands
of dollars and a great name
back of them and they say
"We can cure you because
we've cured thousands like
you if we can't we'll pay
you $500 for the knowledge
that there's one whom we
can't cure."
They believe in themselves.
Isn't it worth a trial? Isn't
any trial preferable to catarrh?
