LB IN OIL, t.S'-i Crude Petroleum, at a Remedy for Texas Fever. TULSA, T. Dr. sfGennedy; of this place, finished dipping 400 head of cattle in erode petroleum Saturday, for the extermination of.

the Texas fever tick. This- is the jflrst experiment of the kind In the territory and stockmen are looking upon it with some interest. If the experiment succeeds well. It Is safe to say that thousands of cattle will be so treated. The modus operandi pursued by Or.

Kennedy was to build a vat about eight feet deep by ten or twelve feet long and four feet wide. This was filled with one-third crude coal oil and two-thirds water. The cattle were driven Into the mixture over their eyes and ears, coming out of the bath, with enough of the oil Bticklng to their hair to destroy (the tick." About ten barrels of oil are required for each 100 head of cattle- dipped. As. the oil is found on every hand here, the cost of the experiment is comparatively small Crude petroleum has been used for some time In Texas for the extermination of the fever tick and has been regarded as' quite successful.

or, splenic, fever Is an infectious disease of cattle propagated by the bite of the boovia baaphllus, or Texas tick. This "Mttle animal is a native of -air part 'or the" Southern states, and ravages among the cattle of this4 region are enormous, the loss in Indian (Territory being not less than 10 per cent of all the cattle pastured here. So susceptible are animals to the virus it has been next td'imposslble to import Northern cattle into, the infected In its natural home the tick spreads out over large scopes of country and covers the entire grazing district in such numbers as to preclude the possibility of any stock escaping from its influence. How io rid the country of it has been the subject of study by stockmen, and entomologists for years. By experimentation it was ascertained that calves born In the infected seemed to be effected lightly or to escape: altogether.

From this It was discovered that healthy animali Inoculated by an attenuated culture from the blood of diseased ones would have only a light form of the malady. This led to the theory of vaccination for the, prevention' of the disease. The idea was first set forth and elaborated upon at the University of MIssour and afterward taken up by othei states. In the prevention of the disorder the Idea was" a success. But it was too difficult to put into general effect and too expensive for the small stockman to profitfby.

The cultures were furnished from the bureau of animal industry, free to all who should apply. Many took advantage of the privilege, but were not satisfied with the manner of procedure or the results obtained. Hence a general demand for some remedy more simple and less expensive of application. Accordingly, the petroleum cure was advanced, with what so far promises to be favorable t.

Veteran Statesman Re-elected Presi dent Without Opposition. Porflrlo Diss was, on July 1, for mally elected President of the republic of Mexico. The formal election of Ramon Corral as vice president of the republic was also an nounced by the electors.

The election took place two weeks ago, and it remained simply to announce that the returns as to the two candidates were unopposed. The day following the election the Presi dent announced in a proclamation that Inasmuch as there was no opposition to himself or Mr. Corral they were elected by the people, subject to the board of electors. The electors announced to the re public and to the world that for six years Porflrlo Diaz would be Presi dent and Ramon Corral vice presi dent The election was received with general satisfaction throughout the country. The election is taken to mean that Corral will, in the near future, re the real "President, for President Diaz is aging rapidly and Is feeling the strain of office, and he is going to retire In reality, though be will nominally be the President.

In doing this he will be relieved of the arduous duties of office and will at the same time satisfy the people. who love and honor him. It Is believed that Gov. Miguel A. Ahumada of the state of Jalisco will be selected as Mr.

This farm is worth about $2,000,000. She raises garden truck and flowers, and is said to be an excellent farmer. She does not go In much for charity, but she is not eccentric, nor parsimonious.

PETERSBURG. The news that the Russian volunteer steamships Smolensk" and SL Petersburg, now cruising In the Red sea, are stopping ships of- neutral nations and searching them for contraband of war is causing the liveliest interest in all circles. Russia has evidently weighed tne question, believes herself to be within her rights and neither fears nor anticipates international, complications. some of the powers may have been sounded by Russia on the subject. Nevertheless, foreign opinion Is awaited eagerly and more or less criticism is expected.

Members of the diplomatic corps are keenly anxious to ascertain the views their governments will take of the passage through Dardanelles of these vessels of the volunteer fleet as merchantmen and their subsequent conversion Into ships of war. The general view in diplomatic circles, even where sentiment is not particularly friendly to Russia, is that while the passage of the Dardanelles might be considered a piece of sharp practice on the part of Russia, it is an accomplished fact and tne powers will not now regard it as a violation of the treaty of Paris, but will guard against its repetition. The diplomats think that some of the powers might insist that henceforth all volunteer vessels shal) be considered as warships, within the meaning of the treaty. One of the most interesting ques tions ia this connection, the diplomats believe, will arise out of Russia's declaration that coal is contraband of war. With prize crews on board the captured snips could be sent to Russian Baltic ports, but if short of coal they could not put In at neutral ports to replenish their' bunkers.

This same question may embarrass Russia when the Baltic squadron sails for the Far East. In view of. the protest made by Ger many in the case of. the stoppage of the steamer Bundesrath, seized in Del-agoa bay, December 29, 1899, during the South African war as the result of which Great -Britain had to pay dam ages, much curiosity exists as to what Germany will do in the case of the confiscation by the Smolensk of the mailsacks on board the North German Lloyd steamer Prince Heinrlch, espe cially as a large portion of the mall seized was undoubtedly of a commercial character.

ALMOST A BILLION DON'T PAY 8tate Auditor Learns Some Surprising Pacta About the Counties Six Report No Mortgages-Law to Blame.

TOPEKA. Figures, compiled Monday in the office of the state auditor show that more than 100 million dot lars on deposit in Kansas banks escaped taxation this year. The county assessors, in their search for taxable property on March 1, could find only $4,393,391, yet the report made to the state bank commissioner fourteen days later showed that the banks had on deposit 103 dollars, and the report made sixty days later showed that the deposits aggregated While It is impossible to ascertain the exact number of mortgages owned in the state, the assessors' reports show that the value of those returned for taxation was only As compared with the 200 million dollars in money and mortgages which escaped taxation during the year, the railroads, farmers and merchants of the state are paying much more than their Just proportion of the taxes. While the amount of money on deposit in the banks of the state has increased several millions of dollars within the last year, the money returned for taxation has increased only $300,000. Stanton is the county in the state which reports no money owned In tne county.

No report has been received from Wilson county, but that Is expected within a few days. Stanton not only reports no moneys but the assessors could find no shares in banks owned in the county and no mortgages. Crawford, Grant, Greeley, Haskell and Morton also report no mortgages. A remarkable feature of the report Is the fact that nearly all of the counties in the eastern part of the Btate show decreases in the amount of money owned as compared with the return made a year ago, while the western counties show increases. A notable exception among eastern counties is Miami, in which the money increased from $1,275 in 1903 to $78,125 this year.

During the year the amount of money in Douglas decreased from $108,000 to in Franklin from $81,000 to in Chase from to in Jefferson from 000 to $20,000. Some of the increases In western counties were from $50 to $3,234 in Cheyenne, from no money to $1,033 in Gray; from no money to in Morton; from to $37,000 In Kingman; from $27,000 to $54,000 in Lincoln; from $32,000 to $67,000 in Jewell; from $2,000 to $25,000 in Bills; from $5,203 to $22,909 In Ness; from $400 to $2,895 In Hodgman; from $4,000 to $7,000 in Gove.
