TO SAVE THE HOGS.
An Organization to Fight Swine Dis
ease Proposed.

10 The Farmers Of Dichinson Coun'4
Experience is often a dear teacher
as a number of you are now finding
out. Several months ago your at
tention was called to the fact that
some parties in other states were adj
vertising stock hogs for sale. Many
of you no doubt remember the warn
ing gave at that time. stated that
we might expect serious consequences
if those hogs were allowed to enter
the county. Many are now learning
from experience land the kind of ex-
perience that brings loss) that the
warning should have been needed.
The lost can not be brought back and
it may seem useless to lock the stable
door after the horse is stolen. But
many are no doubt hoping to get an
other horse after a little while. |
think something should be done to
prevent such losses in the future, by
making it impossible to ship diseased
stock into the county.
Our part Of the county Is all right
so far, none of those hogs were
brought our way.
Gentlemen, talk this matter up
among yourselves, and If it is thought
best let us have a meeting in the
court house or some other place, and
that shortly, to discuss the matter.

D, c. H. s. Reception.

CHAPMAN, Sept, 29,-The first fac
ulty reception Of the season was a
brilliant success. A prize was offered
for the longest list Of ladies' auto
graph signatures obtained in fifteen
minutes. K. T. Cline, the principal
of our city schools, captured it with
ninety-six names and was presented
by the Professor OF Condiments with
bottle which should have contained
Mustard but was metamorphosed in
to perfumery. The student who only
gained thirty-four names received a
mirror to aid his pensive reflections.
The gentlemen then promenaded with
the ladies whose name they first Sc
cured Charades gotten up by the
various classes and music closed a
most merry and enjoyable evening.

IN A FLAG.RUSH.
Lively Story Of Charlie Cases College
1Scrap at Emporia.


Charlie Case is having lots OF fun
down at Emporia college. Yesterday
was the annual hag-rush between the
sophomores and the freshmen. When
the sophomores, whose class year is
1900. and one of whom is Charlie,
went to school that morning, they
saw large white banner emblazoned
with the large red figures "Ol," sus-
pended from the telephone wire a
short distance from the college build
ing. That was not all. There were
eighteen freshmen in old clothes,
ready to keep the banner up there
The sophomores said Maybe"
According to the Gazette: "For two
solid hours eighteen freshmen and
eleven sophomores strapped, They
pounded each other, scratched each
other and hated each other for the
possession Of a dirty white and red
rag. After John Marshall's shirt had
been torn off him, some freshmen
dragged his noble bare back over the
stubble and plowed ground of the
campus. 1t served as a lightning
complexion changer for that back
Grandpa Leslie, Scrappy Case Fatty
Roberts and Big Loomis lost the other
side of their shirts in the mix up"
President Hewitt issued an order sus-
pending all the boys. But the college
is under student rule and they refused
to endorse it and the president backed
down and revoked the order. There
was no school yesterday and the girls
stood around and sympathized with
the boys. The Gazette says; "When
Lee Roberts, Harry Miller, John Mar
shall and Charlie Case get to be papas,
they will tell the kids how they fought
at the hag-rush in the year of our
Lord 1897. For the present. they will
content themselves with rubbing the
liniment in and blaming some fellows
for hitting too hard. But then it was
fun, and is supposed to happen only
once a YEAR,
