Geo. Wiley came in Saturday and returned to Topeka Monday. We expected that George would issue quarantine orders over all the lobo catfish of Meade and Haskell coun ties in order to prevent the spread of the Texas fever. But he went away without doing a thing, so the eastern counties had better take steps to protect their fish. Marshal Camp met with what might have been a fatal accident last week at J. T. Smith's where he was digging a well. The bucket in which they were raising the dirt be came unhooked from the rope and fell about 20 feet, striking Marshal on the head and severely cutting him. Dr. Fee was called and it required several stitches to properly dress the wound. On last Monday evening The News family were happily surprised at the arrival of Ed J. Wehrle from Manila where he had been in the army for the past sixteen months His time of enlistment would have expired in June, but he was taken sick and would not have been able for duty for several months, conse quently was sent to San Francisco, where he was discharged, coming home direct. He is not as robust as he was before going to theislands and bears evidence of the hardships of a soldier's life in the Philippines.

Savage We have received an invitation to be present at the Seventh Annual Convention of the Oklahoma Live Stock Association at Woodward, O. T., Feb 12-14, 1 00 1. The program is a good one and everyone who possibly can should attend. Stock men can certainly gain something by being present as several very able papers will be presented by exper ienced cattlemen. We are satisfied the people of Woodward and the officers of the Association will give all a cordial welcome. When a man goes into a game he most always expects to win, or he wouldn't go in. In a number of instances it is done by dishonest practices. After a man has been gambling all his life and he goes up against another fellow who jerks a roll out of him, and then plays the baby act by crying and saying that the other fellow robbed him, we have not the least sympathy for such a fellow. Who on earth ever heard of honesty connected with a poker or crap game. Every fellow tries to win any way he can. If he can do it dishonestly and not be discovered he does it. In gambling you always beat the other fellow by being a little -smarter than he is Don't tell us that you were robbed in a crap game, for no one has any sympathy for you,. It serves you right- . .

Space in The News is too valu able to waste upon the political dead, they will have to be contented with an occasional shake. Ab Stewart purchased a mixed bunch of cattle from Andor Eliason this week. He will take them to his place west of Meade. We presume that the editor of the Globe and Mr. Wiley have been studying ichthyology for the past few weeks as Frank seems to know all about the report. Frank ought to have gotten his mug up along side of George's in his paper this week, and then we would have had the noble pair, P. M. and Fish Warden. The State Charter Board has is sued a charter to the Alfalfa com pany of Wichita. The company is organized for the purpose of manu facturing an extract of alfalfa which is supposed to be good for fattening purposes. Some months ago Dr. J. W. Shultz, of Wichita began ex perimenting with the prepaparation of alfalfa extract and tablets. He tried the medicine upon some of his slender acquaintances and they tes tified that it increased their weight. In order to properly handle the bus iness a stock company of Wichita men was organized to place the medicine on the market. Some of the most prominent Wichita busi ness men are interested in the schemew--Topeka Capital. In such times as these, when small-pox and scarlet fever are pre valent, I think it due the public to ask that you kindly publish the ap pended prescription for the preven tion and cure of small-pox and scar let fever, sent me from Southern Texas, and used by the sender's family and friends for forty years It is. he says, "as unfailing as fate and conquers in' every instance, even in small-pox tnougn tne pit- tings are fillings:" Sulphate of zinc 1 grain Digitalis 1 grain Sugar. teaspoonful Dissolve in a wine glass of distill ed water or water that has been boil ed and cooled.

Kansas and McPherson County has the proud distinction of being the home of one of the largest Co operative or Mutual Fire and Tor nado Insurance companies in the United States. It has been in operation 13 years during which time it has issued to Kansas farmers 29,500 insurance policies and has paid in losses ex ceeding a quarter of a million dol lars. Its indemnity is accepted by all financial institutions as collateral. - The available resources are $175, 000, of which 33,000 is cash, back of which is an assessable value of Si 6,000,000 in risks. The annual meeting was held at McPherson, January 8th, 1901. A strong representation from over the state was present. The reports of Secretary C. F. Mingenback, and Treasurer Wm. McCarty, show the company in a sound financial con dition. The meeting was harmonious throughout and by a rising vote of the convention the officers were ten dered a vote of thanks for their un tiring efforts in making the year 1900 the most successful in the his tory of the company. The directors etected for the ensu ing three years were 1. Coslett 01 Harper county, W. F. Buttles of Rice county, C. F. Mingenback, McPherson county, W. W. Hensley Elk county, and O. V. Gingrass of Harvey. The annual meeting passed a reso lution amending the constitution and by-laws requiring that all - proxies hereafter shall be filed with the Sec retary not later than the 20th of December in each year. After the adjournment of the an nual meeting, the directors organiz ed and elected I. F. Talbot, Presi dent; J. W. Walker, Vice-President; C. F. Mingenback, Secretary; Wm. McCarty, Treasurer; V. GoodshcIIer Adjuster; and. among other impor tant business transacted, made a limit of J 1 000 on any one town dwelling risk. The assessment on Fire and Light ning for 1 90 1 was reduced one-fourth and Tornado one-third over former years. The is the most extraordinary low rate in the history of the company, and will no doubt awaken the in suring public to the fact that Mutual Insurance has come to stay in Kan sas, and at rates that Line companies cannot meet.
