Hog Cholera in the County.

A press dispatch says that State
Veterinarian FL. P. Clute was in JEFF
ferson and the vicinity of Fort Atkin-
son Monday to look after hog cholera
cases. After careful investigation he
took decisive action and quarantined
the stock yards and premises of the
following farmers: w. Marshall,
Edward Montgomery, George Killer,
H. Kreglo, Chris Haas and Richard
Royce. The quarantine will be the
means of preventing any of the above
named farmers from disposing of any
hogs for at least six months or until
all traces of the hog cholera have left.
The stock yards will be disinfected.
The hog cholera was introduced by
a carload shipment of shoats from the
Chicago stock yards, which is very
unusual occurrence

The Juneau Independent says
that a writ of assistance has been
granted in the Dodge county courts to
ReinhOld Achtenhagen, Of this city, to
enable him to obtain possession of
land belonging to William Schultz
and Charles Schultz in the town of
Lowell, which he purchased at sheriff's
sale on execution issued in the case of
Sarah M. Fischer VS.. William Schultz.
On November 5, 1894, Mrs. Fischer
recovered judgment against the
defendant, William Schultz, for
$1,1O5, damages and costs, for per-
sonal injuries received by being run
into by Schultz's team. Mr.. Schultz
then decided his farm to his son
Charles and Mrs. Fischer then COM
menced a suit which resulted in the
deed being set aside. This case went
to the supreme court and was affirmed.
Then the property was sold an eXecu-
ton sale and Mr. Achtenhagen pur-
chased thirty-one acres, which was
sufficient to satisfy the judgment.

Kochs theory that mosquitoes are
the agents in the spread of malaria is
not a new doctrine but has been taught
for many years by Italian and East In
dian physicians. In the Roman Cam
pagna 1t has long been known that one
might live there with comparative safe
ty by sleeping in the upper stories OF
the houses, where mosquitoes and
gnats seldom come. English physi-
clans in India have discovered the
germ of malaria in the body of the
mosquito, and have seen the disease
occur in people after they had been
bitten by numbers of these germ-in-
tested insects. There are probably
other ways of getting malaria, but un-
doubtedly mosquito-net is one indis-
pensable means of protection in ma
larious district where the pests usually
abound.
