WHEELING REGISTER MONDAY, JANUARY II, 1897

clare that It is the right thing for free
born Americans to eat onions. or crow. If
they want TO do so. and as they nearly all
assert they like onions they will do as they
please. one precocious youngster declared
that no teacher could find in the rules any
where that the eating Of onions was an
offense punishable with suspension from
school. He said that Miss Buckingham
sometimes spanked offenders and that she
would get into trouble if she did so again.
The rebellion among the children is re-
ported to be spreading, and they say that
If the onions now in market Were not so
strong they would fill up to the very muz-
zle q the opening of school and defy the
teachers. As it is, they say they will pro-
baby wait until spring.

Several Years to Make Trouble for
IriShmeD.

London. January 10.-Former as
sistant district attorney Mcintyre, Of
New York, who resigned that position

completely with P. J. lyman in a dy-
Mantle conspiracy, was interviewed to-

been engaged all day long ever since
his arrival with IvOry's counsel. lie
asserts his conviction that certain Off
cials are manufacturin gevidence in the
case to advance their own interests.
Mr.. Mcintyre says he is satisfied that
a few years ago Jones, the iniormer,
undertook, for a large stipend, to fur
nish Scotland Yard with evidence. Fail
ing at that time to do so, he is now
swearing against Ivory, says MIR. Nc
Intyre, in order to fulfill his promise.
Several of Ivorys or Bells American
witnesses have preceded me by other
steamers" proceeded Mr.. Mcintyre,
and are now secreted in London.
They will prove that while he was in
America. Jones advocated such infa-
nous measures against England that
the lodge expelled him.

alton to convict Bell or Ivory at any
cost. | learn that every favor is to

THE CABINET.
Sherman Said to be Slated for Premier,
and Hanna to Succeed the Old Man
in the Senate.--BlisS and Alger
Decided Upon.

Cleveland, O., January 10.-The
opinion among those who claim to
know is that Senator Sherman will be
offered and will accept the Secretary
shin of State in Mr.. McKinley'S cabl-
net and that Mr. Hanna will not be
one of the cabinet advisers Of the next
President. Il is believed to be certain
that Mr.. Hanna will be appointed as
the successor Of Mr.. Sherman in the
Senate. a place which he very much
prefers to any portfolio which the
President-elect could offer him. Inas-
much as the Senatorial appointment
would have TO be made by Governor
Bushnell. the arrangement herein sug-
gested is said 10 indicate the friendly
feeling which Senator-elect Foraker
has for the PreSident-elect and for the
chairman Of the national committee.
Regarding the selection Of Cornelius
n Bliss. of New York. for Secretary
of the Navy, it is said that Mr. Bliss
has been offered the place, but that he
deferred his acceptance until he could
ascertain whether he could so arrange
his business affairs as 10 permit of his

SURE REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA.
Iowa Farmers Convinced of the Fact by an
Illinois Man.

Illinois Man.
Mason City. Iowa, January 10
There is no longer any question but
that a remedy has been found for b
cholera. The farmers institute x .
Rockwell was visited by Frank ~ e
gartner, of PeotOne. Ill., y Il
Freight Agent Cleamans. Of 4ue,
and District Agent Calkins\ two
latter representatives Of the chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road.
Mr. Baumgartner addressed the
convention. and said thSt the disease
was neither infective nor contagious,
and was produced by injudiciOus feed
ing. He does not call the disease
cholera, but malaria. typhoid fever
or appendicitis. He is backed by the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul Com
pany. and a commission from the agri-
cultural departments will visit him in
a few days. He has made public ex-
hibitiOns at Dubuque, West Union and
MCGregCr. He went into sick herds
and absolutely cured them. He has
gone into healthy herds and produced
the cholera, allowing one hog TO die
and curing the others. Under direc-
tiOns of the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul road he will make exhibitions
at Mason City. Emmetsburg and Al
gOna.
The farmers attending The institute
were so thoroughly convinced of his
ability TO cure that had he had his
medicine on sale hundreds of dollars
would have been expended for the
drug, as hogs are dying in this locality
by the hundreds The State lost
S15OCOCGO in hogs during the past
year The Milwaukee road alone has
lost in this freight over S10000C0.

crow, POINT, Ind. January 10.-Af-
ter delay of seven years the authorities
of Jerusalem. this county. are forced TO
lay out cemetery because Of the death

ed by Chicago capitalists, who started a
factory and succeeded in getting many
fImilics TO locate there A doctor came
and remained several months but none
of the inhabitants became sick and the
doctor departed. The town grew. Many
new people dropped in. but they also have
always had good health. When Mrs.

pulation of Jerusalem was present at the
unusual event. Al present nothing marks
the site Of where the new cemetery is TO
