There is species of petty larceny at
present being practiced in this town
that should be stopped and stopped at
once. The small children of two or
three INDECENT families of the North
End daily visit residences in the differ
ent parts of the town. and, in the alb
sence of the occupants, find some mode
of getting into the house and taking
whatever may capture their fancy.
The practice has become so common
that it is very annoying, indeed. and
steps should be taken to put an end to
1t at once The offenders themselves
are mostly too young to be dealt with
harshly, but they should be taken in
charge and placed where they can be
kept under subsection. We trust the
matter will be attended to without
further delay.

twenty-five or thirty head of sheep.
The afflicted animals would at first be-
come thin, emaciated, and gradually
die, evidently from sheer want of vigor
and animation. Some time was spent
trying to learn the nature of the dis
ease. but it could not be determined,
and the facts were laid before the State
Veterinarian, with a request that he
come and make a diagnosis. DIR. F.
f. White. of Sedalia, deputy State Vet
erinarian, arrived Monday and that af-
ternoon visited the farm. On killing
one of the afflicted animals and after a
careful examination he pronounced the
trouble parasitic bronchitis. 1t is an
affection of the bronchial tubes and the
lungs caused by a Very diminutive
worm. The germ is in the field in the
shape of very small eggs. The parasite
first infects the sheep through the
bronchial tubes, thence TO the lungs
and in the intestines generally. Their
presence can be detected by general
lack of life in the diseased animal, and
a great reduction in the supply of
blood. The trouble is not common
one, but is very rare. There are rem
edies, and. if applied in time, will
prove effective. Messrs. Boag Il Rus

still saving them. DR.. White returned
