cd out Of court in tho Bird case ON his
papers, and that the county could net re.
cover against Mr.. Bird and his bondsmen
in the action brought by Mr.. Megquier,
and that if they ever did recover. that
suit would have to be dismissed and an.
other suit commenced in the proper
way; and the commissioners settled ON
tl,at basis. In making the settlement
informed Mr.. Bird that although the
county was beaten in that suit then
pending. that the county could, in the
end, by getting proper counsel and
starting the proper action. recover judg-
mcnt against him for overdrawn salary;
and the commissioners, knowing that
Mr.. Bird had been put to about $500 or
5000 expenses for his counsel and other
fees in the case through the negligence
of the attorney for the county, settled
will, him, allowing him what lie had
paid out or about that sum. 1t is mat
ter OF public knowledge that at one time
when the Bird suspension matter came
up for hearing at Fargo, Megquier was
not able to appear, for reasons that are
well known, although in the city ut the
time, and at the request of defendants
attorney the case was continued to some
other date.
When commenced did not intend
to say more than few words in reply,
but as Mr.. Megquicr has thrown down
the gauntlet and says that he will con-
tinuc to show the people the official acts
of his term, when he does so will take
great pleasure in answering him and
show the people that his whole official
course has been one of broken promises
and unfulfilled pledges. am sorry TINT
| have been dragged into the fight; but
he alone is to blame for it, and let him
take the consequences. think that
either Mr.. Megquier or the people will
say ''enough" before he satisfactorily ex-
plains his official acts during his term of
office in the Bird and Argus cases. If
Mr.. Mcguire keeps his promises (Which
will be the first time he has done it) and
gives his official career in chapters, l
will answer; until then, adieu.

ers. His statement is alarming and
should result in measures Of pro-
lection of cattle owners and boards
of health. Indeed every board Of
supervisors should take this impor-
tant matter in hand, as the diseases
now in the state among cattle are
fatal to man. Mr.. A. S. Mercer, the
agent Of the bureau Of animal indus
try, and DR.. ThOs. BUwhill, NJ. r. G.
V. S., have visited Cholame valley,
where 800 cattle out Of q
herd Of 1900, belonging to Mr. Breen
of San Juan, died i'm thirty days.
The remainder are probably dead by
this time. The disease cutting off
so many Of this and other herds in
that valley, is the Texas fever.
Other diseases equally fatal to beast
and man prevail there as well as in
other places visited. Many are
effected with tuberculosis and ac-
tinomykasls or "big-jaw." Cattle
were found dying by the dozen Of
these diseases and of anthrax at
Gonzales where a large number Of
Spanish families are engaged pre-
pairing ierked beef for market and
where last year fourteen Of their
children died Of putrid sore throat
or a peculiar type Of diptheria caused
by eating anthrax meat. The
inspector refers to the historical
fact of 10000 of the people of Naples
dying in 1917 through using the
flesh of animals diseased with an
thrax, and for centuries this disease
has had fatal effect upon the pOpu-
lation of Europe, numbers having
been poisoned with the flesh of
diseased animals. The state board of
health and the board of health of
San Francisco have had the subject
under discussion and have appointed
inspectors of markets, stock, and
houses.

The Juvenile Societies.

Francis f. Willard says statistics
show us that of every one hundred
men who reform from drinking
habits, ninety return to those habits
again, while of every one hundred
boys and girls who belong to our
Juvenile temperance society, 80 re-
main true to their pledge through
life.
What the future of the boys and
girls all over our land shalt be, not
only for this life but for the life to
come, depends largely upon the use
we make of the present 1t was
while men slept that the enemy
sowed tarcs, and went his way; no
further care was needed to secure
his crop, but eternal vigilance is the
price we must pay for the harvest
of noble manhood and womanhood
which we wish to reap.
But are our children being
thoroughly prepared for the conflict
with temptation which surely
comes to all? Are the seeds of truth,
temperance and purity being in
stilled into the plastic brains and
hearts? F.? And above all do we re-
member that this battle with
temptation is not one of the far
away future, but one which sur
rounds them almost every hour. 1t
is set in array by the boy whose seat
is near that of your boy in school,
and takes out a bunch of cigarettes
or plug of sugary tobacco, and
whispers "you can have some at
recess" The battle comes in the
oaths and impure words of the play
ground and the imitation to treat to
cider or beer; in the habits and
language taught to our pure boys
and girls 10y the children of un-
guarded homes; also in the shape of
pictures and literature scattered even
about our pavements, by those who
would ruin our boys for the sake
of gain.
Our Juvenile societies are organ
lied for the purpose OF supplying
the forewarning and forearming
which your children will need on
entering these battle grounds.
There is a mental strength and help
fulness in the association of children
banded together to fight common
enemy, such as no isolated training
can impart, line upon line, preceUt
upon precept is the discipline, the
dill, the preparation, for the battle,
a preparation not only for those
fortunate children who have pure
and safe training but also for the
thousands of children who come
frem homes where the influences are
also on the side of intemperance and
vice.
