will check, if not eradicate, the disease.

Foot and Mouth Disease,

1t is stated now that the disease
among cattle near Neosho Falls, Kansas,
is veritable foot and mouth disease, but it
is stated that it is not only not spreading,
but ~ thoroughly quarantined and practi-
caly stamped out. DR.. Laws, Of Cornell

whatever their report may be, no fear is
apprehended that the disease will spread,
as 1t has been clearly shown not to be con-
tagious and all cattle affected are complete
IL quarantined.

morse took fright at the fire engine, which had
been left standing near the street in front of

efforts to stop the frightened animal were of
no avail. and to ad to the horrors of their
situation. they discovered that freight train
was moving across the street al the foot of
the hill. People who saw this thrilling suec-
tacle were unable to assist the doomed occu-
awaiting the inevitable result which must at
least horribly mangle, if not fatally iniure
them. A they neared the train, the horse
threw his head high in the air striking his
breast tull against car loaded with lumber
and against which Mr. Hutchinson, his mother
and sister were also hurled with terrific force

out and her cheek badly bruised. Mrs Bur-

well ~ internal injuries, the extent of which

furtunates were taken TO the residence of
Mrs. Dillingham;, close by, and cared for until
the arrival OF Drs. Martin and Crooker. who
pronounced Mrs. Burrell's case one of CON

could be procured, Mrs. Burrell was removed
TO the residence of Mr.. Herbert Russell
where she will be cared for. The others will
remain where they until some place can
be found for them The gate across the

Thursday, Nov. 10Th, should call forth large
attendance from all the neighboring cities
and towns, not only on account of the real
merit of the play itself, which received uni
yersal commentator from the Boston press,
during its long and successful run in that
city. but also because of the magnificent
manner in which it is to be presented on the
roomy stage of the Coliseum, with special
scenery, stage settings aud effects. 1t is the
belief of the Coliseum Co.. that frst-class
entertainment will be literally patronized by
the people OF the Kennebec Valley. and that

and presenting the plays. On this belief they
have acted from the first. Preparations have

made to Boston by Manager McCausland, for
consultation, and final arrangements and no
pains have been spared and nothing left un-
