FEEDING CORN FODDER.

State Veterinarian T. j. Turner in the Mex
leo Ledger.
1t is fact that the eating of corn
fodder this year will cause great
deal of sickness and is causing some
among the horses of the state. In
the way of treatment preventive
measures are far superior to any
medicinal remedies and in this con-
nection will say that if farmers and
stock raisers, when gathering the
corn from the field, would simply
place muzzles on their horses and
mules they would seldom, If ever,
suffer any loss. Again, if they feed
this fodder to their stock, mix with
it plenty of other food, such as grain
of different kinds, always being care
full to water the animals before feed
ing them, and allowing them only a
sufficient quantity. Medicinal RENE
dies are frequently of little avail in
tutsc cdStb do dOdlil 10 uuC W u loI
nation of gas caused from fermenta-
ton of food in the stomach and death
from rupture of the same. 1t is
scarcely possibly to give you, or
attempt to give you, any remedies,
as each individual must be treated
separately and according to its own
temperament and peculiarities. II
however, preventive measures are
we'll attended by the parties having
the stock in charge but little loss
need occur. This is the same trouble
that we had in the fall and winter oI
1878, and is due as above stated
to the method and manner of feed
ing.

A KISS AND ITS RESULTS.
At a strawberry festival in the
Freeport, Long leland, church Miss
Luella M. Mueller was one of several
women who sold kisses for fifty
cents each, the proceeds going
towards the church funds. William
Corning of Freeport invested fifty
cents and kissed Miss Mueller. The
acquaintance thus begun was con-
tinued until, according to Miss
Mueller, they became engaged.
Later Corning's father died, leaving
him a fortune. AS Corning delayed
the marriage, Miss Mueller finally
became convinced that her lover
intended to discard her altogether
and she has called on the courts to
right her wrongs.

HISTORIC CHARACTER DEAD.
Absalom Hughes died at Cedar
City, Galloway county. He was "a
years old, and for many years had
been historic character in this
state, from the fact that he was the
only man living in Missouri who
could legally run dramshop without
paying state, county or municipal Ii
cense.
He was first sergeant in Parsons
regiment, first Missouri volunteers,
in the Mexican War. At the battle
ofSacramento he had both legs bro
ken by q cannon ball, but dlstin-
guished himself so conspicuously for
personal bravery that the Missouri
legislature in 1874, passed law au-
thorizing him to keep dramshop al
Cedar City, Galloway county, during
his life and exempting him from pay
ing any license.
He accepted the offer, and for 6s
years kept an unpretentious salooi
in that little town. The wounds h'
received rendered him cripple TO

two earthquakes in Greece will cause
people to take n good deal Of interest
in his prediction Of n tidal wave that
will overwhelm New York in July OF
August. If such calamity should oc-
cur it would havea reaching effect
upon this country. The destruction
of New York with its concentrated
