Hog Cholera.

The adoption Of the Harrison county hog
law at this time in Ohio county may prove
to be great help to assist in getting rid OF
one of the worst disease we have to contend
with among swine-a disease known as hog
cholera. This county has lost great
many valuable hogs the past season, and
yet we have small herds with the disease.
When the health officers took hold Of the
matter expected we would get the disease
stamped out. They and the Board Of Com
missoners communicated in the proper way
to get rid OF this contagious disease, but
they have as yet failed to accomplish the
desired result have been informed there
is at this time great many diseased hogs
in Liberty district. / know Of two lots
myself. With the experience
have had with this disease, there is but one
way to get rid of it. and that is to destroy
all herds affected with the disease. 1t would
be better for the county to pay for few
hogs than to have the county lose thou.
sands of dollars worth Of hogs and the Cit.
zens to be eating diseased meats that might
cause sickness and death. In our judgment
we think this the proper time to stamp out
the disease as we have fewer hogs this time
of the year than any other, the fat hogs hav-
ing gone to the slaughter houses or been
butchered for home use. There is nothing
left but pigs and brood sows. II this dis
ease is not stamped out there won't be q
sound lot Of hogs in the county next season.
There should be stringent measures taken
and the disease checked Immediately. In
the future we may say something about the

county and slaughtered for the Wheeling

The Delegate Convention
Scott 0oWned on the
First Ballot

The Delegate Convention to choose 3
Republican candidate for the Office of Mayor
of the city was held in the chamber Of the
Second Branch Of Council, beginning at
7:S0 o'clock last evening. The chamber,
By the def hand Of Lieut. Gale Sylvis, was
deliberately decorated with American flags,
forming singular contrast with the bat
tered, plasterless and soot.begrimed walls of
that ancient chamber.
Most of the delegates arrived with COM
mendsble promptness and discussed candi-
dates, Col. George B. Caldwell putting in
hicks tor Senator Scott, and L Z. Waterman
logging indusiriously for ]. W. Grub.
COMING TO ORDER.
DR.. S. L. Jepson had been chosen tenn
porary presiding officer and j. ID. Elson
Secretary, BY the committee and those two
officers assumed their duties, when the body
had been called to order by Alex. H.
Forgey, Chairman. A roll call Of delegates
was had, after which, on motion Of VIM. d.
Hearne, DR.. .Jepson was made permanent
chairman. he iels moved to make an sd-
dress, quite short urging the convention to
name . good and great man and place the
onus of his defeat If it came, on the people
Of the city.
Otto Jaeger was made permanent Secre-
tary, on motion of j. ID. Elson.
The vote cast for city clerk, in 1888, was
taken as 9 bass Of representation, on mo-
ton of j. R. Cowden.
]. D. Elson moved to have each ward
delegation announce its Executive Commit
teemsR, which prevailed, with the following
result:
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Frst-D. D. Ingram,
Seeond-Thomas Jones
Third-Joscph SPeidel.
Fourth-Rslph Whitehead.
Fifth-George Miller.
Sixth-William H. Williams.
Seventh. R. Cowden.
Eighth-Frederick Schafer.
In the Third Ward Frank johnson had
been named, but declined. These appoint
ments were confirmed and the convention
proceeded to nominate candidates for May
or. In the interim j. r. Cowden offered q
resolution rstifying the nomination at the
primaries of Thompson for Sergeant, Bow
ers for Clerk, and Sesmon for Wharfmsster,
which was adopted.
Nobody cared about breaking the ice
with q nomination, and the delegates sat
looking at each other like school boys. Fl
nally the following nominations were made.
without speeches:
NOMINATIONS.
n. B. Scott, BY D. D. Ingram.
J. W. Grub, BY A. G. Robinson.
S. P. Hildreth, by A. ]. Sehultze.
Mr.. Hildreth said his time was not his
own and he would be compelled to decline.
w. Il. Hearne made the first speech and
nominated DR.. S. l.. Jepson, but this dis
tiuguished Esculapisn would have none OF
it. W. II. Travis named Mr.. S. K Wal
lace who made this epigrsmmatic response:
There are 5000 Republicans this city.
I've had my turn once. 1t will not come
again for 5000 years" Laughter.
j. ID. Elson made q very kelter-like
speech, SAYING the Republicans could win,
this time, with good man; that the Demo
Gratis had put up good man, but he was
not well known, and one man who could 60

The Wichita EAGLE occupied one Of

at this confession. We had been taught
by the EAGLE for wears TO believe that

ticle came out we supposed the people
of that town were all ready with their

about with golden wings and harps,
and OF the highest order of angelic
being. OF course we knew the Wich-
tia women had big feet and that its
editors are in the habit occasionally of
well, say, drawing on what might be
termed very earthly Imagination to
large extent when speaking of their

a few pegs, and 10 conclude that

the methods and habits Of ordinary
