KILLS TEXAS FEVER.
Wonderful Nucceiful F.xpcrlincriM With
Hid Dip ill Fort Worth, Tex.
K anhah City, Mo., Aug. HO. A prom
Incut Texan ranchman naid yesterday:
"No discovery of recent years is
fraught with so much interest to the
southern and southwestern cattlemen
as Unit of an ellleient dip at Kort
Worth, Tex., for tick-in fected cattle,
and a debt of lasting gratitude is due.
Dr. Victor A. Is'orgaard, the govern
ment veterinarian in charge." The re
sults of dipping in a solution of para
line oil have been so wonderful that
its adoption lias already been oilieially
recommended to Washington. It not
only destroys the ticks in a short time,
but does so without the least injury to
the animal's bide, hair or eyes. It is
said that cattle dipped in this solution
in 17 hours from the time they entered
the dipping vats were perfectly free
from ticks, and they could have been
safely admitted into any country.

they fought to save, himself their com

moved at 10:!50 in the morning, the sky
had not a cloud. The rainstorms of
tho night left a clear, bracing air that
was lilto tonic to the marching men.
The procession moved for live
hours and forty-two minutes.
Along the route of march 100 girls,

carriage at the head of the procession,

and waved his hat at the cheering
crowd. At the reviewing stand he
took his position with Connnander-in-Chief
Clarkson and Gov. IMack, and
the headquarters' staff passed in re
view. Of all the throng viewing tho
procession, no one person was more
enthusiastic or more all'eeted by the
sight than President McKinley. With
his hand ou his hat, continually Tin
covering to the national colors or the
salutes of the veterans, the president
watched the array of proud vetcans
march by.
Jt was nearly five o'clock when Uib
last of thu New York state division,
comprising a brigade of J'ull'alo posts,
passed the stand, and after nearly six
hours of constant attention the presi
dent and tlov. Made were driven to
their hotel amid thehuzznhs of the old
soldiers and tho apjrtause of the vast
crowd. Throughout the entire day
the great crowd was orderly, and there
was no intrusion upon the president.
The president admitted that lie was
tired with the day's work, but pleased.
President JIcKinley, after his return
to the hotel at night, said of the paradu:

DEATHS EXCEED BIRTHS.
Declaration Almlu Tlmt the Negro Itium
Aluy lie Cxtlnct within ii Century.
Kansas Citv, Mo., Aug. :i0. Statis- i
ticians, scientists and sociologists have
for some years declared that the negro
race in America isdiminishing in num
bers. This statement is based upon
the mortality reports of large cities,
and recent statist. cal publications de
clare that the negro problem will set
tle itself by the extinction of the race
from natural causes within a century.
However true this may be, the reports
of the health department of Kansas
City show some remarkable facts
which have their weight upon
this subject. The table of mor
tality statistics shows that thero
were born in Kansas City dur
ing 1800 a.-KU persons. Of these
t'.'JIU were white and 200 black. The
licaths nirnibered 1.S7IJ, of which l,fi50
Were white and K') were black. Here
is the remarkable feature of these
figures: While 0M more white persons
were born than died during the year,
tliere were 1215 more deaths than births
among the negroes. When it is seen
that the negro population is less than
ten per cent, of the whole population,
these facts and figures are rendered
even more remarkable.

Kansas Citv, fo., Aug. 111. A colli-
sioti between three freight trains oc
curred near Stillwell, Johnson county,
Kan., yesterday morning, injuring sev
eral persons and killing one man,
whose name is given as Pontons, iirst
name unknown. The wreck occurred
about nine a. m. on the Colorado lino
of the iMissouri Pacilic between Still
well and Alartin City. Freight train
No. 12S, which left Kansas City at 7:15
a. in., was divided into three sections.
Freight train No. 110, eastbound, com
prised two sections.
There were two wrecks several miles
apart. The first was duo to the part
ing of one of tho sections of the west
bound train on a heavy grade. Sever
al cars on the roar end of the first suc
tion broke loose and dropped down the
grade, colliding with tho front end of
the section following. The engine of
the second section was damaged and
several cars derailed, but no one was
injured. The engineer and fireman
saw the runaway cars approaching
and jumped in time to escape injury.
The second wreck, which wtis duo to
a misunderstanding between the engi
neers of the eastbound and westbound
trains regarding the taking of a siding
nenr Stillwell, was more disastrous,
and resulted in several fatalities. It
was a front end collision, thu engines
coming together while both were run
ning at good speed. The engineers and
firemen were not aware of their dan
ger until it was too latu to save them
selves. One llreman is believed to
havu been killed outright. According
to the latest report received in this
city his body was buried in the wreck
age and had not been recovered. One
engineer, who is familiarly known by
the numu of "Daddy," and whoso
homo is in this uity, was severely in
juried, and it is beliuved cannot live.
At least threu others are known to
liave been seriously injured.
SIX MEN MASSACRED.

UIIiIh or Popn County, Ark.
Litti.p. Rock, Ark., Aug. 551. Six
men were probably massacred in the
i wilds of the mountainaof l'ojie county
j Sunday afternoon. Two wore killed
outright, two were fatally woundud
and left for dead, two have mysteri-
j ously disappeared, and are either dead
or being held captive by the blood-
! thirsty bandits who committed the
awful crimes. The killed are; Capt.
15. F. Taylor, of Searcy county, a depu
ty United States marshal; .loo Dodson,
of Stouu county, a deputy United
States marshal. The fatally wounded
are two brothers named IJenfrow, of
Suarcy county. Tho names of the
missing men arc not known, but
they tiro supposed to be deputy sheriffs
from an adjoining county. Tho vic
tims were all oflieers, and tho men
who did theawful work of carnage are
moonshiners of the boldest and most
desperate ciass.
l'ho scene of the bloody crime was a
gulch or ravine in the mountains of
Pope county, at an isolated spot :5
miles from Itussellville, the nearest
telegraph ollice. The region is wild
and isolated. It has for years been thu
favorite rendezvous for counterfeiters
and moonshiners, and a district in
which no law-abiding citizen could
live. The oilleers for a long time have
been trying to break up the lawless
ness in that vicinity, and many battles
between them and the desperadoes
have occurred. Capt. 15. If. Taylor, tho
richest man in Searcy county, and a
man of much prominence, determined
to aid the ollicers in putting down
crime in that section. He secured a
commission as a deputy United States
marshal and led the posse in the raid
that resulted in his death.
