DEATH TO HORSES.

Golden Rod shown to Have bsen the
Cause Of Fatality.
During the past four years large
number of horses have died in the
northern part Of Wisconsin from the
ravages Of . disease that has bafied
the skill Of veterinarians, and I have
been called upon toi'investigate the
matter n to the cause and nature of
the malady. At first it Was thought to
be anthrax, and samples Of the blood
and sections from the spleen and other
internal organs were sent to the bu.
reau of animal industry and to
DR.: Russell, of the state uni
versity, for meteorological exam
ination. Numerous bacteria were
found, but the bacillus anthrax
was not present. The horses affected
were in the ma jority Of the cases
heavy draft horses from the lumber
camps. These animals we're brought
from the woods in the Spring, usually
in good condition, and turned out to
pasture. Most of them were fed grain
while on pasture.
{. On the farm Of Mr.. c. F. Reynolds.
Hayward, Wis, over seventy horses
have died during tho past four years
from this peculiar malady. Tho pas
turc contained about four hundred
acres, 800 of which bad been broken
and seeded to timothy. Adjoining
this was 100 acres Of slash
ings," or land from which the timber
had been cut, but which had never
cred with golden rod. On one side of
the farm is lake with . clean gravel
bottom and shore. The lake Is fed by
spring& There il NO marsh or low
land on the farm. Upon investi9a-
ton, became convinced that the
cause of the trouble was to be found
either In the food or water, and
watched the horses closely for several
days and saw them eating the golden
rod greedily, some Of them. especially
those affected, seeming to prefer the
plant to anything else.
also visited the farm of Peter
Trua1, near Eau Claire. There Is NO
golden rod to be found on his farm.
and tho disease has not made its an
pearance. During tho past summer
Mr.. Truax placed ten horses in pasture
near by where the plant is plentiful.
and eight of them died during the sum-
mer and the remaining two are affected.
When the healthy horses are taken
from the pasture in the fall the disease
disappears. None Of the sninals At.
tackled by the malady have recovered.

happened this way. On Saturday even

of 20 or more came to the parsonage
giving the pastor and his good wife a
genuine surprise. Every man, woman
and child was literally loaded with
either groceries or other useful articles.
Unannounced except the singing OF one
stanza of "Nearer my God to thee" at
the front door and unlimited they
marched through the hall to the dining
room, where they rested their packages
on the table, which is of good proper
tions, until literally the table would no
opger hold the articles. Then they
were piled in corners and on chairs
until they could be slowed away in their
proper place.
Music was furnished by Mr.. Geo.
Richards violinist, and Mrs. l.. S.
Huber organist and all Joined heartily
in the singing, after which the pastor
offered an earnest prayer for the Divine
blessing upon all.
The young people played many games
and plays in which a young Theolog,
three school mans, a number of blush

interesting part. A samptuous feast
was provided by the ladies and sturdy
men did ample justice to the occasion

February 22d, about noon, while peal
ing forth notes of freedom in commem-
grafton of the Hath birthday of George
Washington the Liberty Bell, in the
cupola Of Independence Hall, Philadel-
phia, was cracked and never rang again.
AT that time there was much talk of
trying to mend it or recast it, as it is
composed of ''gooi stuff" but 1t was
finally decided to take 1t and the frame
which supported it down, and it has
since been kept on exhibition in INDIE
pendence Hall, al a sacred historic relic
to be viewed by millions of people. The
only time 1t has been taken from the
the building was in 1898 to the Chica-
60 Worlds Fair, and in 1895 to the
Cotton Exhibition at Atlanta, Ga.
The difference in time of publishing
news in 1876 and now may be seen
when we note the fact that the Ledger,
which was published daily within a
stones throw of where the bell hung,
did not publish the fact of its breaking
until Feb. 26th, four days afterward.
