The Farmers Cooperative society of
rockwell, the largest in the west, held
their tenth annual meeting, and sny-
der's hall was crowded full of prosper
GUS and energetic farmers, enthusias-
tic over their organization.
This year has been the banner wear
of their history. Over 100000 bushels
OF grain have been handled besides
other enormous interests looked after.
The total volume of business transacted
is S265,015.24, and this is done at the
small expense of 50, AGO. They have paid
tor grain at an average of from one to
three cents more than individual buy
ers, which accounts for the enormous
business. The net profit for the year
is $2,745.
From almost nothing, the association
now has assets amounting to $17,696.
The town of Rockwell, in which the
business is done, has doubled in pop
ulation and prominence since the or
ganization. Machinery, coal, flour and
all articles essential for the farmers are
handled.
President Norman Densmore was pre-
scented with n magnificent gold watch

Some Interesting Figures Regarding
the Military Strength of Our
Probable Enemy.

Washington, March 10.-Seventy
thousand men is the number of Spanish
soldiers who have been killed, wound
ed and otherwise incapacitated for
duty during the present war in Cuba.
These figures have been received in
this city recently from reliable sources,
and are said to be as nearly authentic
as 1t is possible to obtain them without
recourse to the records kept by the
Spanish government. From the same
source considerable other information
bearing on the military strength of
Spain and her dependencies is OBJ
tanned.
The present force of Spain in Cuba is
as follows: Regulars, $4,000 men. OF
this number it is estimated that $4,000
of them are effective for military pur-
poses. They are distributed through
out the island as follows: About 25,-
900 are in the two eastern provinces of
Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Principe,
and the remainder are in the provinces
of Santa Clara, Matanzas, Havana and
Pinar del Rio. There are about 10000
members in what is known as the vol
unteer army. These are mostly in the
province of Havana. and are largely in
the nature of home guards. correspond
ing to our state militia. There are 55,-
900 men who are not effective for mill
tary duty from various causes.
The strength of the Spanish army at
home and including nearby possessions
is 100000, which in times of demand for
additional soldiers may be increased as
follows: First reserve, $4,000; second
reserve, 100000, all of whom are in
structed in military tactics, and sec
ond reserve of which are not instruct
ed of 10000, making in all grand to-
tai of 100000 men. Since these figures
were received here recent drafts of 49,
900 men to strengthen the army in Cuba

CASE OF LEpRosY.
Girl in Pnlo Alto County Has tho
Awful Disease.

Girl in Pnlo Alto County Has tho
Awful Disease.
DIR. j. Fl. Kennedy, secretary of the
state board of health, returned to Des
Moines from Graettinger, where he was
sent by the house of representatives to
investigate reported cases of leprosy.
When DIR. Kennedy arrived ut Graet-
finger he was taken to the home of
Charles Peterson, Norwegian farmer,
living some six miles west of that little
village. Having made study of the
disease, Dr. Kennedy saw at glance
that Peterson's daughter was leper.
DIR. Burdick. of Graettinger, DIR. Bald
win, of Ruthven, and Dr.. Davis, of EN-
metsburg, all agree in the diagnosis of
the case.
The mother of the stricken girl died
of leprosy in Norway When the girl
was two years old her mother was
stricken with the disease and was taken
to the hospital for lepers, where she
died without again seeing her daughter.
Now, almost six years later, germs of
the disease which have been dormant
in her system for six years, have ma
tured and she is suffering from this
awful plague, for which there is no
cure. Peterson has been taking milk
to the creamery, has been hauling his
produce to Graettinger. and the neigh
bors have visited the family without re-
straint. so that it is possible that the
disease has been communicated to
Others but as to whether or not this is
true time only can tell. The patient
will be isolated at once. The state board
of health will meet on the cath and at
that time will consider the matter fully
and determine what shall be done.
