The Cattle Disease at the West.

While the accounts by telegraph and
mail agree that fatal disease has ap.
peared among the cattle in Kansas and
Nebraska, they differ as to its nature.
Some assert that the dreaded and ia
tai Texas fever is among The herds in
transit, others claim that the mortality
is due to bad water; that good water
has been very scarce along the route.
and the animals have been obliged to
drink water SO highly impregnated with
alkaline compounds, as to them that
drank it. The prompt measures taken
at Chicago and other points, resulted
In the isolation of the animals that
had been exposed to the disease, and
the shooting and condeming of the
carcasses of those hopelessly sick. 1t
IS claimed by good authorizes, that the
Texas fever can not be communicated by
mere contact of the sick with the well,
but only when well animals Craze after
or feed after those having the fever.
Its asserted that, should it prove to
be the Texas fever, there is no cause
for alarm, a. the disease prevails to
no greater extent than it mas for rum
Der Of years at this season. a greater
assurance is afforded by the actions of
the leading cattle men, those at the
head of the largest Cattle Live Stock
Associations and Cattle Companies at
the West. and the railroads. These
have agreed to move no more Texan
Cattle until after the frost, which re-
moves all danger. The prompt action
of the Governors and the official veter-
nariarS in the States most interested,
should allay all fears that the disease
spreads eastward. .--Ameyican Agr1fuz-

DEATH OF PROF. j. t. PADEN.

After very snort but severe sick
ness Prot. }. I. Paden, OF the State
Normal, died in this city on Saturday
last, August 16tn. The disease. which
was congestion OF the bow els, was so
sudden and fatal in Its work that but
few in the community were even aware
OF his illness. On Tuesday he was able
to be about. and though at no time in
very robust health there were no indi-
cations that he might not be spared
for many years of active usefulness in
his profession. PROT Paden was born
in the State of Georgia, near Atlanta,
June 9th, 1913. He was self made.
and to large extent sell educated
man. Before coming to this place he
had taught acceptably at the Warrens-
burg Normal for two years, continuing
his own studies at the same time. He
took position IN the Kirksville Nor
NAL In 1879 which place he has filled
ever since; he was consistent and
and devoted memoer of the Christian
Church and took an active part in the
services and in the Sunday School work
of the church. The deceased leaves
one sister and three half sisters, the first
of whom resides IN Bates Co., and was
present with her husband, at the tIner-
al. The funeral service which took
place from the Christian church on
Tuesday forenoon, of this week, was
largely attended by our leading citi-
zens, and vast concourse followed the
remains to their last resting place in
our cemetery. The services at the
church and the grave were conducted

Teachers Institute.
BY J. o. TRUrTT.

Wednesday, the first day, dawned
fair, but before noon the rain descend
ed in torrents and it continued showery
during the remainder of the day.
AT the appointed hour there were
about 20 teachers presentan and notwlth-
standing the condition of the weather,
they continued to come in until before
evening there were 5oteachers present.
mostly from the country, showing that
the teachers of the county greatly ap-
preciate the efforts put forth by our
Commissioner in endeavoring to make
the Institute a success this year.
The proceedings were very interest
ing throughout the entire program
which was carried out mainly as pub
lished. Lively discussions of the
methods ofteaching followed most OF
the recitations. The principle difficult
ty being for the teachers to remember
the supposed ages oftheir pupils. Also
many of the pupils experienced much
difficulty in conducting themselves as
though they were of the age that they
were supposed to be. Some conduct
ing themselves as though they were
much older and some younger.
The program is too long to notice in
full, but we will notice a few of the
principal features. The first we notice
is sprightly and interesting discussion
of methods of teaching reading, by
Prof. J. U. Barnard, of the Normal, in
which he scathingly denounced the
a, b, method, or in other words.
teaching the pupils their letters before
being taught to read. The subject
was well handled and considerable wit
was interspersed and great many
practical points were brought to light,
yet doubtless all were not thoroughly
convinced that his method is altogether
the only one that may be successfully
taught, especially in country school.
The next is an interesting lesson on
school government by Mr.. R. E..
Johnston, which was also very well
handled and developed some very
good ideas in that essential branch.
The program was intersperse6 with
music which added much to the enjoy
ment of the proceedings.
Next week the names of all those
who are enrolled will be given and a
more complete account of the remain
der of the proceedings.
The opening bids fair for a much
larger attendance a. the Institute this
year than any that has ever been held
in Klrksville, if it is not already the
largest.

THE TRENTON EXCURSION.
4 Big Crowi--An Accident TO the
Train.

The 1.aPlata excursion 20 Trenton
last Thursday was well patronized. 1t
was estimated that nearly FIVE hundred
persons were on the train after it left
this place Everything passed off
pleasantly on the trip to Trenton and
the returning excursionists from Kirks-
vile arrived home Thursday night
about II o'clock. Two miles south
ofthis place the train struck a broken
rail and three coaches were ditched.
One car was badly smashed and it is
wonder that some of its occupants
were not seriously if not fatally wound
ed. The following parties sustained
slight injuries: E. Johnson, head cut
John Sibert, upper lip cut; Mrs. Will
son, face bruised; Chas. Anderson,
shoulder hurt Horace Lyons, face and
back bruised. Drs. Morrow and Gill
lespie, Of this place, went down the
road Friday morning to attend the
wounded. At one time Friday a rumol
was prevalent that the train had been
ditched second time and severa
killed, but the report proved to be un-
true. The only feature to mar the
pleasure of the trip to the Kirksville
contingent was the boistrous conduc,
OF a few who took advantage of the
occasion to get on a BIG drunk.

Moberly Republicans Ratlfying

MoBERLy, Mo-, August 1S.-Satur-
day night was one of the most glorious
political occasions ever known in Mo-
berly. The Republicans have hoisted
Blaine and Logan pole at the depot,
of magnificent proportions. and one
hat so far exceeds the Cleveland pole
at the park as to make the Democrats
very jealous and scared. The passen.
gers on the passing trains view it with
astonishment while they stop here and
seem surprised that In the heart of
Democracy We have driven a stake
and on 1t placed the s.ar-spangled
banner, which means political defeat
to bourbonlsm.
The Blaine and Logan Club hastily
erected the pole and prepared for the
celebration Saturday night, ordering
200 latest improved torches and invit-
ing several speakers to address the
people. When the night came the 200
torches were taken possession OF on an
Instant, and at least 900 men stood
around eager to carry more. They
formed in line and marched to the
tunes of the drum and fife. making
grand display. Tim Collins sent his
cannon from Sedalia, and the way she
roared made the natives wild with en-
thuslasm. Nothing was ever seen like
the hearty response which the people
made and the granduer produced by
those 200 Republican torch-bearers
marching down the street in the me-
ropolis of one of the strongest Dem
ocratlc counties in Missouri.

to put me in nomination for the office
of Lieutenant Governor Of the State of
Missouri I wish to express my thanks
also my surprise. l did not seek the
Office and no one was more surprised
at recelung the nomination than my
self regret very much that | can
not serve the Democratic party as their
candidate, but owing to the fact
that the Democratic party is badly
split up, and there being every assur-
ance ola defeat Of the National ticket
andas Confederate and Federal men do
not look well side by side and owing to
great pressure of business I respectfully
decline the nomination of Lieutenant
Governor at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party and would suggest that
Frank James would be more fitting
candidate. P MoREHoUsE.
