(IMS HEADACHE ENTER PRISE HERALD ENTERPRISE, KANSAS coowfino t. Dipping Station Wanted. Under, the recent ruling of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, cattle originating from below federal quarantine line will have to be dipped In crude Beaumont oil. Eugene Hays, stockman, has applied to Secretary Wilson for permission to establish a dipping station, under federal supervision, at Elgin. Elgin has one of the largest and beBt equipped stock yards on the line for the loading and unloading of Texas cattle grazing in the Osage pastures.

The outlook is for early shipments this year, as grass is starting early this spring. The cattle men bid on pastures before Secretary Wilson's decision in regard to the quarantine law. They are compelled to stock pastures, or lose their 10 per cent already paid on pastures. Pardon For Collins. An application has been made to Governor Hoch for the pardon of John Collins, who is a "hang prisoner" In the state penitentiary for the murder of his father, of which he was Convicted In 1898.

For some time his sister and his step-mother have been appealing to the citizens of Topeka for letters asking for his pardon. Soaaa of these appeals were refused, but many brought friendly replies of one kind or another and the two women gave them to Governor Hoch. The governor told them that his time was just now engaged with other affairs, but that he would give them a hearing in about two weeks. Coffsyvllle Unaffected. Coffey-ville oil is unaffected by the action of the Standard Oil Company In refusing; to buy any more Kansas oil that teats under 30 degrees.

With the exception of a very small per cent Coffeyville oil tests over 30, and as high as 33. The average grade is 31. The Standard is-continuing its buying in this district, and the amount taken daily is increasng at a gratifying rate. Operations are picking up steadily, and by April nearly every company In the local field will be engaged once more There Is, perhaps, no Individual In the history of either church or secular life whose memory has teen -kept green for so long a time as St. Patrick's, and certainly none about whom people of modern times know so little.

Men have come into the world, attained distinction and been commemorated for some centuries, but what one ot them all has left a more lasting Impression than the "Apostle of Ireland," in whose honor we celebrate the 17th of every March. Notwithstanding these annual demonstrations, however, It is doubtful If many of even the most devoted of the Catholics who claim him as a saint of their faith can explain the why and wherefore of their reverence for his name, a reverence which has stood 'the test of centuries. Many and widely conflicting are the accounts which, have been handed down from century" to century regarding St. Patrick. Even his origin is shrouded in mystery, "He was born In Scotland, at Dumbarton, on the Clyde; at Nantes, in France; at Boulogne-sur-Mer, and various other places, according to as many so-called authorities, each one Squibs Arc Dangerous.

At Pittsburg the shot firers are strongly opposed to returning to the old system of firing shots with squibs instead of fuse, which was recommended by the commission sent into the district to Inquire Into the cause of the frequency of such explosions. The shot Brers are a unit in the opinion that squibs are more dangerous to life than fuse, and that the work cannot be done as quickly with squibs as with fuse. A meeting will be called of all the shot firers in the district in the near future, when a protest will be sent up against the use of the squibs. Many of the old shot firers have signified their intention of quitting if they are compelled to return to the squibs. After Kansaa Farms.

A train load of settlers with their household goods, farm Implements, horses and carriages, came to Dickinson county a few days ago. Another train, load came from Nebraska to Clay county. Individual families from Iowa, Missouri and Illinois are arriving dally. It is a part of the annual exodus from older sections of the west. More than 1-4 million dollars' worth of farm land has been sold in Dickinson county since October, nearly all of it to westerners, who are now coming to take possession.

The train load that came was made up in Brown and Nemaha counties. They had sold their farms In northeast counties and bought anew because they could get larger acreage. Bit Tongue In Two. At, Emporia Henry Kleiwer, 9 years old, 1b recovering from a most peculiar accident. He was chasing a grocery wagon to catch a ride, when his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, striking on the point of his chin.

His teeth were forced through his tongue, cutting it so nearly in two that It hung-down on his chin. The Injured member was sewed together, but was so badly swollen that for several days the boy could not get it In his mouth, and he could take no nourishment but milk, which he was forced to suck through a straw. All Joints Closed. All the joints In Wlnfield are closed and the jolntlsts placed under arrest, the result of a raid by Sheriff Welfelt, County Attorney Kreamer issuing the warrants.

Enjoins Union Pacific. Ida Harvey, a resident of the southern part of Leavenworth county, filed a suit In the district court to enjoin the Union Pacific railroad from running through her farm. She asserts that employes of the company removed a fence and started to take thirteen feet of her land without her consent. The farmers are all strongly against the Union Pacific building the- new double track and others threaten injunction suits.

Mrs. Wood-worth afterward married a man named Langdon and the child was known by that name. Langdon recently deserted his wife, and the girl was working In a laundry. She will return to Denver with her father. Big Sale of Farm Land.

J. L. Newman has sold his ranch adjoining Reading to C. C. Patten for $25,000.

There are 320 acres in the ranch. Mr. wmmrnrnm mm MM (Ik The groves are described as "thick with massive trees so closely interwoven as to be Impervious to the rays of the sun, and with nothing visible save a multitude of altars with their human sacrifices whose blood had turned the very, trees crimson." Thus, while England knew Christianity in the flret century, and there may have been a few stragglers of the faith In Ireland, it was left for St. Patrick to become the "Apostle of Ireland," and deliver It out of Its savagery. Although the exact place of his birth is unknown to us, he himself tells us that he "had Calpurnius, a deacon, for his father, who was the son of Politus, and lived in the little village of Banaven In Raburnia (which cannot be found) that his mother was named Conchessa, a sister of St.

Martin of Tours." he was 16 years-old, so the story goes, St. Patrick was carried into Ireland and sold as a slave, and there he was a shepherd. Here he had ample time for reflection, and in this way drifted Into a religious frame of mind. A short time before he was released it tl he dreamed that a boat was ready and waiting at the shore to take him back to his home. Wakening, he hurried to verify his dream, and, sure enough, there lay the boat Passage, however, was refused him, and he went a little apart and began, to pray, when one of the sailors came running up to, say that the captain had thought better of it and granted his request.

On the way the provisions gave out, and Patrick was beseeched to pray for food. His prayer was answered effectively, a herd of swine being sighted on that same day and wild honey on the one following. Soon after this episode he was ordained to the work of the ministry. He was never a learned man, but a thoroughly conscientious one, who never failed to do what he considered his duty, no matter in what direction it lay, and who proclaimed the gospel to multitudes at times and in places where great courage was required so to do. When his strange, eventful life was over, St Patrick, or Bishop Patrick, as he was then called, was burled at Dun-Patrick, Dun-dalath-glas or the dun of the broken fetters and here until the time of the reformation were preserved his relics.

Here aim were laid two others of Ireland's most holy sslnta, St. Brigld and St Columba. Tho place is still held In veneration. Material memorials of St. Patrick are numerous, but the church bearing his name in Dublin is the most Interesting among them all.

Every sufferer from nervous headache knows how completely it mints one (or the duties and pleasures of life. Any little excitement, or over-exertipn, or irregularity brings it on. Sometimes the pain is over the whole head.

Again it is like a nail driven into the Drain, or wedge splitting it open, or a baud tightening about it. At one time it is all in the top of the head, at another it ia all at the base of the skull. Most headaches can be traced to aoraf faulty state of the blood. When th blood ia scanty or charged with poison, and the nerves are imperfectly nourished and the digestion weak, one of the com- moneat results is freqneut and sever headaches. The important thing is to get rid of the diseased condition of the blood that causes the attack by the use of a remedy that will do the work quickly and thoroughly, What is that remedy? The experience of Miss Ellen McKenua or- tushes the auswer.

She says: For more than seven years I was a great sufferer front nervous headache and dizziness. My stomach was disordered, and I became so restless that I could not sit still any length of time. Dizziness interrupted my work greatly. At first the attacks were not so severe, but they gradually grew more violent, and finally became so acute that I waa on the point of relinquishing my membership in the different organizations to. which I longed." "What saved yon from that necessity?" "A very simple thing the call of a member of one of the clubs, who strongly advised me to try Dr.

Williams' Pink Pill before giving up. I acted on her sugges tion at once, and after steadily using this great blood and nerve remedy for two mouths, my headaches and my dizziness entirely disappeared. Miss McKenua is secretary of the Associated Ladies' Guild, aud resides at No. 48 Wait street, Boxbnry, Mass. Dr.

"I had eczema on the face for five months, during which time I was in the care of physicians. My face waa so disfigured I could not go out, and it was going from bad to worse. A friend recommended Cuticura. The first night after I washed my face with Cuticura Soap, and used Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent, it changed wonderfully. From that day I was able to go out, and In a month the treatment had removed all scales and scabs, and my face was as clear as ever.

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD'S REPORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY. The report of Commissioner Garfield on the beet Industry has at last been published. It must be somewhat of a surprise to those who have been Indulging In wholesale adverse criticism upon the methods of tho Chicago packers, as it discloses facts and figures which clearly show that the great food producers have been innocent of the serious offenses with which they have been charged. They have been for a long time accused by newspapers all over the country of extortionate prices demanded, and obtained, of depression of values of cattle at the various stockyards where their business is conducted, of enormous profits wholly disproportionate to the capital employed, and, In general, of so carrying on their business that the. public, under an organized system of spoliation, were being robbed for their exclusive benefit We find now, however, that not a single one of these charges has been sustained but, on the contrary, that rigid and searching investigation, officially made, has resulted in complete acquittal.

instead of extortion it is shown that no industry can be found where so narrow a margin of profit prevails the actual records and original entries, to which the commissioner had free access, showing that the highest net profit any of the packers made on their sales of beef was two and three-tenths per ceqt in 1902 and In one Instance that the profit realized in 1904 was one and eight-tenths per cent. The variations in the market prices for cattle are exhaustively treated and no evidence of any kind was discovered, or even hinted at, tending to show that values of cattle are in the slightest degree improperly' affected or controlled by packers at any ot the chief centers of the Industry. On the whole, the report completely dissipates the prevalent idea that great fortunes are being amassed by illegal and improper methods employed by western packers, showing that notwithstanding the high prices for beef prevailing in 1902 the business was less remunerative than In years characterized by normal values, both for cattle and product. He aaya "that the year 1902, Instead of being one ot exorbitant profits, as has been commonly supposed, was less profitable than usual. In fact, during the months when the prices of beef were the highest, some, at least, of the leading packers were losing money on every head of cattle slaughtered.

It waa not nossible to advance the prices of beet In full proportion to he great advance In the prices of cattle at that time." After all that has been written reflecting upon the great business interest engaged in the marketing and distribution of the product of one of the greatest of our national Indus-triea, it la gratifying to all fair minded people that the prejudice" attacks upon it have failed of and the great western puckers may be congratulated for having pasted through auch a searching and thorough official Investigation nnsmirched. The results of this Investigation, based as it Is upon exhaustive data, officially obtained and verified by United States government experta, must be accepted without hesitation, as the investigation was made under circumstances that guaranteed complete accuracy with a possible disposition indeed, to arrive at entirety different remits.

The covered well at the base of the first pillar In the south transept la commonly ascribed to St. Patrick, and the baptismal font, was used by the worthy bishop In anointing 271 of his brethren. i The history of the church Itself is Intricate and Interesting. In the year 1 1190 Comynan, Anglo-Norman archbishop of Dublin, adopted an ancient church which was particularly rever enced for its associations with St Patrick. This he altered into a col legtate church, and it was raised by his successor, Henry de Londres, to the dignity of a cathedral.

Subject to many changes since, the original form of this stately pile is almost entirely obliterated. I The tomb of the holy man near the cathedral Is marked with a huge boulder upon which are carved a plain cross and the one word "Patrick." As a record of one of his greatest I deeds in his holy work is Slane Ab- bey, or, rather, the ruins of it, stand- Ing on Tara Hill, where St. Patrick lighted his fire, and here and there throughout the country one may come upon an ancient "standing stone," with the cross which was engraved on it by order of the saint, thus con secrating it to Christian faith. These" standing stones, which were to the early Celt what the totem pole is to. the Alaskan of to-day, were thrown down by St.

Patrick, to em phasize the fact that paganism was to be left entirely behind. Some of the stones were left, however, but those were marked with the cross. In the Dublin museum are the good saint's iron bell and cover, the latter being covered with beautiful Celtic engravings. The bell Is of a type of those which were rung by hand from the windows of the watch tower and was probably used by St. Patrick to call the faithful together.

In Cork, the principal highway Is named after the good saint, and it Is up and down this street that the an nual St Patrick's day parade takes place. Celtic Writings Scattered. Many of the manuscripts in the Celtic collection of 300,000 are In mon asteries all over Europe, especially In the Vatican libraries, the monasteries of France and Switzerland, In the libraries of Trinity college and May-nooth college In Ireland, and in the archives of historical societies of Eng land, Scotland and Wales.

Since In his "Confessions" St. Patrick tells of bis call to Ireland, It might with reason be Inferred that he was not already there. However, Ireland in his time that 1b, about the fifth century, and indeed until the eleventh was called Hlbernia or Scotia, and the people Scots, which may account for the apparent discrepancy. A bit of the history of that section and period shows something of the field in which St. Patrick labored, but tittle enough has been recorded According to Burton, the people seem to have constituted the first wave of Immigration which rolled over Asia Into northern and western Europe, and to have been a peculiar race, remainlg Impulsive and light-hearted In spite of many vicissitudes: Their religion before conversion was that of the Druids, which Mr.

Burton describes as "a frightful, awful system, involved In deep mystery, tended to inspire terror and well fitted to hold in subjection a turbulent, reckless people." The Druldlcal priests secluded themselves from view of others, dwelt In Impenetrable forests, dens or caverns and practiced religious rites in secrecy; they offered human sacrifices, selecting their victims from among criminals, and, when these were wanting, did not hesitate to take innocent ones.
