HOG CHOLERA.
Agricultural Department Claims
to Have Found a Cure.

During the past two years the de-
partment of agriculture has conduct
ed series OF experiments in the use
of a serum as a remedy for hogs affect
ed by cholera or swine plague. The
experiment was conducted by DR.. D.
E. Salmon, chief of the bureau. of ami
NAL industry, and the results were en-
iuently satisfactory, proving that the
dreaded disease can be successfully
treated easily and inexpensively.
Summarizing the results of expert
ments, DR.. Salmon said that 30 per
cent of the hogs treated in droves
have been saved, while in droves af-
fected with cholera and not given the
serum treatment, quite 80 per cent
were lost.
Last year the experiments were con-
Quoted in Page county, Iowa, the re-
suits showing q loss on only 20 per
cent. on the affected droves. This
year the experiments have been extern
sive and far-reaching. The bureau
treated 922 hogs. OF these ITO died,
the number saved being 81 out of ev-
cry hundred. The loss was only 19
per cent. The animals comprised II
droves, and of these six droves lost
only one hog each. On the other

A COLD SUBJECT.

A goodly audience greeted Prof.
q. E. Orsborn at the Christian church
and listened with close attention to
his instructive lecture on "Glaciers
and the G lacial PERIOD" Friday night,
Nov. 10th. Though a cold, scientific
subject his warm, genial handling of
it made it sufficiently interesting for it
to be popular. The learned gentle
man spoke of the three type forms of
glaciers and the different theories ad-
vanced to account for the glacial per-
iod as we'll as the extent and geoglog-
ical effect of the glacial epoch
in the United States. IIlustra-
tons we're shown of existing
glaciers of the Rocky and Alp noun
tains and of the Greenland ice cap
The speaker discussed the probability
of another glacial period and the en-
joya5le intellectual treat closed with
views of life in Greenland. The beau
ty of the illustrations together with
the graphic description of them by the
speaker made an otherwise cold theme
to glow with life. We understand
that notwithstanding the many other
attractions the attendance was large
and both the lecture and the promot-
ers we're gratified with kindly interest
shown in the theme.

WILSON-WiLCOx WEDDING.

The home of A. w. Wilcox, of this
city, contained pleasant wedding
party last Wednesday. The two
people most vitality interested were
Warren T. Wilcox of this city and Miss
Mary Wilson, daughter of Town CLERK
Matt. Wilson of Three Lakes, who
we're pronounced man and wife shortly
after the noon hour. Rev. G.. Fl. Way
was the officiating clergyman, Miss
Jane Wilson, sister of the bride, was
the bridesmaid, and Mr.. Cliff the
groomsman. Immediately after the
ceremony the party sat down to a sub
stantial lunch prepared by the mother
of the groom. Mr.. Wilcox had a new
house near the family homestead all
ready for his bride, and the newly
married couple have taken up their
residence there.

hand, 1,107 hogs ia each drove were
watched but not subjected to the So
rum treatment. OF these 879 died,
showing q loss Of 1913 hogs out Of ev-
cry 100. Speaking Of the treatment
DR.. Salmon said:
"There is no question of the effec-
tiyeness of the serum treatment. Our
operations have been viewed with
skepticism, but the serum treatment
for hog cholera is no longer an expert
ment. 1t is proven success and un-
doubtedly will save to the farmers Of
the United States millions of dollars
every year."
The cholera serum is procured by
keeping apart for treatment an animal
"a horse or cow-and injecting into
its blood q small amount of the blood
of cholera diseased hog. This will
sicken the subject, but he will recover
when another dose will be admins
tered, and 80 on, time after time, un-
til finally his blood becomes so i'm
pregnated as to render him practically
cholera-proof. Then his blood is let
and the clot drawn off, leaving the
thin, yellowish portion, which is the
serum. This, is used to inject into
the diseased hogs and operates to rem
der them, likewise, cholera-proof, or
even cures them of the disease after it
has developed.

DON'T LIKE FILLIpINOS
Dan McRea Says That They are
GiZZard Cutters.

=
lands, Sept. 18th, Dan McRae writes
to his mother in Morgan, as follows:
We do not know when we will be
sent home and this is verv unhealthy
country. They cannot send us home
too soon to suit us. The death rate
in the army here was as high as five
per day, most of the deaths occurring
among the regulars. There has been
no deaths up to this writing in our
company since we enlisted, although
some of the boys have been quite sick.
Four of our company are in the hos
pital. Most of the deaths so far haye
been due to drinking excessively.
The captain is very severe to US.
He will not let the cook feed us any
thing but coffee and sour bread for
breakfast, thin tomato soup, coffee and
sour bread for dinner and bareback
and coffee for supper, and the coffee
is the next thing to rank poison. It
is green coffee and when the cooks
roast it they burn it.
Well, mother, when we were firing
on the enemy and the bullets coming
like hail-stones and those destructive
shells screaming all around me, men
falling dead and wounded by my side,
twas little I expected seeing another
sun rise. At first it was pretty hard
to maintain self control, but in a few
minutes did not mind, in fact did
not care whether I lived or died, so
long as we could avenge the death of
the noble heroes on board the Maine.
Every man that took part in that bat
tie was of even far more determined
spirit than I was. Sweet vengeance
was ours on that day, the 18th of Au-
gust, when over 500 Spaniards we're
wounded and over 800 killed. There
we're only seven companies of soldiers,
about 600 men of us against $500
Spaniards and we drove them back, 80
you can tell how the boys fought
The Spaniards thought our whole ar
my was there from the way their men
we're falling and the shots we're flying.
They said whenever their men would
put their heads above the breastworks
to fire they we're picked off by our bull
let's. The Spanish and PHILIPPINE
peoples think the Americana" devil
to fight. During those days we suf-
fered hardships that I will not attempt
to describe. We have had trouble
with the natives since, but we would
just delight in fighting them. 1t
would be good thing if they we're
cleaned out a little, as they are infer
nally treacherous, and would delight
in cutting our Threats and slaughter
ing us if they could, but they are the
biggest towards ever created. They'll
come up to you and smile and say,
Americana and PHILIPPINE Omego,"
meaning friends, but if they could
sneak upon you in a dark, lonely
place, unawares, I wouldn't give q
bean for your life. They would cut
your head off so quick YOU would new
or know how it happened. They'll
all steal.

Newton, May 10.-The Mennonites of
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma ter
rttory will hold a convention in this city
on Tuesday, May II, to consider the
attitude the Mennonite church shall
take in the present war with Spain.
There will be several hundred represen-
tatives Of the church here and it is
thought that the meeting will last sew
eral days.
The meeting is very important, as it
Will either confirm or do away with
some of the principles of the church. 1t
is against the principles of the Mennon-
ties for any of the members to engage
in warfare or to make resistance to a
foe. however great the provocation
may be.
Assistant Attorney General Smelling
was the cause of the meeting, by his
decision in regard to the law in this
state exempting Mennonites from mil
ltary service. He recided that the law
only referred to those who year after
year have taken NONRESIDENT papers.
The members desire to have the old
time principles of the church upheld
while number of the younger men
would like to see the restrictions re-
moved. Some of them would like to
go to the front to fight for their adopt
ed country and think that it is but right
to do so as American citizens. The
question will be bitterly contested and
some interesting developments are
looked for.

Coffeyvi1le, May 10.-Harry Bird, a
character we'll known in printing cir
cles in Labette and Montgomery coun-
ties, walked in from Chanute last Sat
urday.
His story runs like this: He was at
ST. Louis out of a job and out of money,
when he received a letter from his wife,
who was at Caney, Kan, saying that
there was a good opening for newspa-
per in Coffeyville. He forthwith made
arrangements with a brakeman, who
slowed him away in a furniture car and
brought him to Kansas City. From
there he managed to get a ride down to
Chanute but couldn't work the brakes
any further
He was quite jubilant over his pros
poets for business in Coffeyville.
Mr. Bird arrived per local freight,
but his aspirations to become a journal
ist in Coffeyville were suddenly crush
ed He had hardly gotten up town
when he was arrested by the Sher1H or
johnson county. Bird was wanted for
stealing in Olathe.

DROWNED IN THE CURRENT.
Alex Mcclure of Elk County, Swept
Away by High Water.

Sedan. May 10.-A1ex Mcclure, who
lives near Grenola, was drowned while
trying to cross Otter creek about ten
miles northwest of CedarvaIe, last Sun
day evening.
He had come down this way that
morning on some business and was re-
turning home, Henry Roper being with
him. He was driving a pair of colts
that had never been in deep or swift
water before.
They became frightened as soon as
they got in where it was deep enough
to swim them, and one of them foun-
dered and caught his front foot in his
breast strap. Mcclure was thrown out
of the buggy and Roper tried to save
the horses by undoing the tugs, but the
team became SO unruly that he could
do nothing with them and had to let
them go. They were both drowned.
The last Mr.. Roper saw Of his friend
he was holding onto the limb of a sap
ling but he let go, or the limb broke,
and he was swept away by the current.
He was over 20 years old.

But He Was Too Old.

Detroit, May 10.-Co1. P. A. Huffman
of this city served with Gen. Lew Wal
lace in the Mexican war and the war of
the rebellion. He has enlisted here for
the war with Spain, and learning that
Gen. Wallace was likely to have COM
mand of a regiment wrote him asking
the privilege of serving for the third
time under him. Today he received the
following letter from Gen. Wallace:
My Dear Old Friend:-Thank you
very much for your tender of service.
I am delighted that you are now ready
to serve the countay as formerly. There
is no prospect of my receiving an APP
pointment as general of volunteers. T
am very much afraid that, like your
self, 1 am entirely of the past. I offer
ed the other day to enlist and carry
gun in the ranks, but was confronted
with the statement that, being over As
years of age, there was chance for
me. I tried it a second time, and went
so far as to offer 800 for a place as a
private and endeavored to prevail on
the officers to throw their scruples
aside and accept me. They declined.
In addition to the argument of age
against me, it is my misfortune now to
have been a major general. You see
the point in difficulty. Do not. how
ever, let me discourage you Go ahead
and do the best you can, and believe
me, as always, most truly your friend.

PRISONERS STOP CHEWING.
OHIO Prisoners Must Reform After
July 4.

Mansfield, O., May 10.-The board of
managers of the Ohio reformatory has
decided to prohibit the use of tobacco
in the institution among the prisoners
after July 4.
It was originally intended to forbid
the use of tobacco among prisoners, but
a number of the state prisoners from
the penttentiary at Columbus, where to-
bacco is q, part of the rations, were
among the first prisoners, and the
privilege was not denied them or any
of the prisoners so far sentenced
to the reformatory. Now there are less
than a dozen of the penitentiary con-
victs in the prison and the board has
decided to cut off the supply of tobac-
CO entirely.
Considerable tobacco, more than has
been allowed, has been struggled to the
prisoners, and this has brought down
the disfavOr of the board upon allow
ing the prisoners any tobacco at all
