To Cure Lump Jaw.

The Kansas City Live Stock In
dicator says:
so-called big-jaw in cattle has
caused a deal of loss 20 stockmen.
especially Of late, since the au-
thorities have declared such cat
tie unfit for human food. Some
time ago one of Or Ohio leaders,
in an article ih the Livestock
Indicator claimed there was moth
ing in the disease theory, and
challenged the veterinarians to re-
ply, but none have done so. In
line with our correspondents
claim Mr.. VIM. Askew, of this
city, who is heavy feeder of ma
tive steers in the southern part of
this county, reports a stee r, the
best one in his bunch, afflicted
with the so-called big-jaw, which
he cured completely, and his
remedy is 80 simple that othera
ou yht to try it. His method was to
cut the swelling open cleat to the
jaw-bone, after which the pus was
squeezed out and pure carboIic ac-
id applied once, the entire sore
being well saturated with it. The
result was that the excrescence
WAS entirely removed. This was
two months ago, and the steer with
q number of others was shipped to
Chicago this week, without even
q scar as result Of the operation.
Is this fact not another link in
the chain of evidence given by
practical feeders showing the
folly of the wholesale destruction
of lumpy jawed cattle?

Dem ocratlc Convention.

The Democratic township con-
ventions were held in the various
townships of the county Friday
of last week to elect delegates to
the county convention which was
to meet in Klrksv1l]e on Saturday
afternoon. Every thing seems to
have been peaceable in the coun-
! try, but not SO in Kirksville. The
meeting in Masonic Hall was a
stormy one, and the i'll feeling
continued long after the conven-
tion adjourned.
The County Convention as
sembled in Masonic Hall Satur-
day afternoon, large crowd was
in attendance as au exciting time
was expected. Forty delegates
were present. All the townships
being represented but Walnut.
1t was reported that there were
not enough democrats in that
township to get up delegation.
On temporary organization, Mr..
H. e. Green was made chairman.
and H. S. Bailey secretary. These
were subsequently made the per-
manent officers of the convention.
When the chairman declared
the convention ready for business,
Mr.. j. M. DeFrance offered a reso-
luton to instruct the delegates for
G. d. Burgess for Judge of the
Supreme court, ]. P. Blsnton,
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, aud John NJ. Oldham for
Railroad Commissioner.
Mr.. DeFrance had scarcely
taken his seat when d. I. Gentry
arose and proceeded to open his
yials of eloquence against the
resolution. Considerable feeling
was aroused by this speech, and
was further intensified, when Mr..
DeFrance took the floor to reply
to Mr.. Gentry. He characterized
the attempt to defeat the resolu-
ton as an act to further political
dishonesty and trickery.
Mr.. DeFrance was followed by
Mr.. Mcclure in an eloquent TRADE
against the resolution, and during
his speech referred rather con-
temptuously to the religious turn
affairs were taking.
When eloquence had been ex-
hausted delegates were nominated,
and W. e. Fout, J. R. Seaver, and
Geo. Cain were chosen to repre-
sent Adair county democracy at
st. Joseph.
f. Y. Clark, Benz. Ely, P. ID.
Shoop, Leroy Spangler, G. NJ.
Mcclure, Charles V. Miller, and
81. S. Bailey were elected dele
gates to the congressional conven-
ton at Kahoka, and were instruct
ed to vote and work for w. H.
Hatch. Convention then ad-
journed with the very best of feel
ing.

School Commissioners Report.

District 1-61-15 or Millard
school, includes the town OF Mil
lard and nine square miles OF val
liable territory, valuation s7O,709;
value -.of school property,
$1,000; levy 40 cents on the one
hundred dollars. Teachers wages
last year for the two rooms, were
S5S per month, this years S65.
The house is new and arranged 30
tlat the two rooms may be con-
verted into one. The board de-
serves great credit for this but
the school is still in need Of maps,
charts and globes. The seating
capacity of the room is lOo; the
enrolment IS; average attendance
so. The school was in charge OF
Mr.. r. l.. Drensn, principal, and
Miss Minnie Lantz.
District 4-61-15, more familiar
lily known rs the Dover school,
contains 8 square miles of terri
tory. Valuation S39636; teachers
wages $3.50; the eastern half is a
beautiful prairie; the western
portion includes the east fork of
the Charlton river. The house is
situated In the edge of the timb
on a ridge which runs west~ ard
but school grounds slope to the
south; the house is too small for
the district. Tt is furnished with
good improved seats, but the seats
are to small for the large pupils.
The blackboard was very poor;
the ventilation was good. This
school, like three-fourths of the
schools in the county, has no maps
charts or globe. The school was
in the care of Mr.. A. D. Mahaffey.
To the credit of Mr.. NJ. and the
pupils we must say that this was a
model school. Enrolment was
thirty eight; average attendance
25; per cent of attendance 66.

Elsewhere we give the Republi-
can county ticket as nominated
last Tuesday, At the head stands
the name of
HON. JOSIAH ". DAVIS,
who has been selected as the one
to represent Adair county in the
important office of county repre-
sentative. He has served the peo-
pie faithfully IN this capacity fol
two terms. His admirable work
in behalf of our Normal school has
earned him the thanks of the en-
tire county, and their gratitude
was shown last Tuesday in nomi-
mating him by a handsome MAORI
ty. No man in the House will be
able to exert greater influence
than he, and we predict his elec-
ton by a larger majority than
eyer.
E.O. GATES,
Is the selection for Co unity Clerk
He has served "a term as Circuit
Clerk, has been deputy clerk for a
number of years. His ability to
fill the Office with the most signal
success is unquestioned and the
people of Adair county will meyer
regret having placed the affairs of
this Office in his hands.
GEO. F. WILLIAMS,
the nominee for the Office of Sher-
iff is serving his first term in that
capacity. His long and peculiar
training has fitted him admirably
for its duties, and during his first
term has made an official of
whom the county may we'll be
proud. That the sheriff's Office
will be well taken care of for two
years more is an assured fact.
JACOB SANDS,
the nominee for Collector has
just closed one years work as COL
lector of Adair county. The i'm
partial discharge of his official du-
ties, and his close attention to the
business entrusted to him by the
people has already won for him
the reputation of being one of the
best collectors Adair county las
ever had. He will be reelected
by an increased majority.
ADAM sHooP,
for Judge of First District, is a
farmer of good business habits
and stands very high as a man
wherever known. He is in every
way well qualified to fill the posi-
hon of County Judge.
