Successful Veterinary Practice.

DIR. Whitbeck, our veterinary sur
geon, has handed this paper list of
names for whom he has treated two of
the most fatal diseases affecting the
horse, also results in the treatment of
distemper. The first list are the names
of parties for whom he has treated the
last IA cases of Azoturia, commonly
called blackwater. Out of the IA cases
but one died, and the average cost Of
treatment was $3.75. The next list
contains the names of parties for whom
he has treated II cases of collie in the
same length of time, with two deaths,
average cost of treatment $500. But
one case of distemper has died under
DR.. Whitbeck's treatment since he has
been in Decorah. Considering the fact
that the veterinary surgeon don't get
any of these cases until the skill of
neighbors is exhausted, the above re-
suits are certainly very encouraging to
both the stock owners and the doctor.
Investigation of the above statement

AFTER THE CHERRIES.
Monstreus outrage -Upop the Hard
Working Sisters.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: 1t is all well
enough to be funny in criticism, but
there is such thing as being dam
nable. The following Islander upon
Iowa's favorites, and only actual home
made theatrical performers, who drew
great houses at Hamerstein's in New
York, that appeared in the Odebolt
Chronicle and later in the Anamosa
Journal, will be generally repudiated
by all liberty-loving and fair minded
people. The Chronicle says:
"Etfie is an old jade Of fifty sum-
mers, Jessie a frisky filly of forty.
Their long, skinny arms, equipped
with talons at the extremities, swung
mechanically, and anon were waved
frantically at all the suffering specta-
tors. The mouths of their rancid fea-
lures opened like caverns, and sounds
like the wailing of damned souls issued
therefrom. They pranced ar ound the
stage with a motion that suggested
cross between the danse du ventre and
fox trot, strange creatures with paint
ed faces and hideous mien. Effie is
spawned, Addie is knock-kneed and
str inghalt, and Jessie, the only one
who showed her stockings, has legs
without calves, as classic in their out
lines as the curves of broom handle."

REDUCTION OF LIABILITIES.

If anybody doubts business pros
perity since the rejection of free silver
and the adoption of protective tariff,
let him take mental survey of con-
ditions among his acquaintances in the
general merchandise line and compare
the conditions with those of two years
ago. If his memory does not serve
him as to details, perhaps the follow
ing table will. 1t shows the failures
among those engaged in the sale of
general merchandise throughout the
country during the first quarter OF tue
present year, compared with the first
quarter of the year in which the free
silver proposition was placed before the
public and rejected by the voters. The
figures quoted relate to the liabilities
of the firms which have failed in the
first quarter of 1898, compared with
those failing in the first quarter of 1895.
1t will be observed that the total liabili-
ties have been reduced nearly one-half
in the eighteen months of prosperity
which followed the rejection of free
coinage and the determination to
adopt protective tariff.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

1t now seems that war with Spain is
inevitable unless she blacks down. AT
one o'clock yesterday morning the
house and senate agreed upon the fol-
lowing resolution, and it is very prob
able that it has been sent to Spain with
the limit for an answer either one way
or the other madelforty-eight hours. II
she refuses its conditions, war will soon
follow:
The resolution as agreed upon by both
houses is as follows:
"Resolved, by the senate and house Of rep
resentatives of the United States of America
>in congress assembled:
"a. That the people of the island of Cuba are
and of right ought to be, free and independ
ent.
"2. That 1t is the duty of the United States
to demand, and the government Of the United
States does hereby demand, that the govern
ment of Spain at once relinquish Its authori
ty and government in the island Of Cuba and
withdraw its land and naval forces from Cubs
and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president Of the United States
be- and he hereby is, directed and empowered
to use the entire land and naval forces OF th'
United States to call into the actual servic'

port to the city council and it is ex-
pected that that body will take some
action in regard to paving Water st.

CONSISTENCY.

1t will be remembered by all readers
of the Republican of about year ago
how Bro. Bailey in his own sweet,
gentle way, ever solicitous of the well
fare of the people of this community
and never failing to warn them of any
pending danger or calamity, used
column after column of his precious
little sheet whining about some little
thing that happened concerning the
quarantining ola home in this city
where what he pronounced diphtheria
was prevalent, so careful lest one little
germ might crawl out of the hole in
the door lock or some other place, and
spread this dread disease over the
whole city; but now, when it reaches
nearer home he closes his little shell
and never peeps. We are reliably in
formed that for two or three weeks
past a diphtheria quarantine card has
hungs on the font of his forenian's
house, and that every week day this
man, whose son lay sick at home with
diphtheria, came from the house in
West Decorah and put in his time ut
work in the Repssblican Office. Oh, no
Bro. Bailey is too kind hearted and for
giving to say anything about this ashe
should, but he could from week to
week break .afresh the hearts of loving
parents sfter the death of this boy last
year, when the case was properly taken
care of and approved by the state board
of health. We presume there is not
the slightest possibility of these dis
ease germs being circulated into "every
single home in Winneshiek county"
through the immense circulation of his
paper. Consistency, thou art a
jewel"

COURT HOUSE QUESTION
A General Notice Of Interest From The
Board of Supervisors.
To the Public.

To the Public:
We have received many appeals to
undertake to build new Court House,
and the petition asking the Board of
Supervisors to submit this proposition
to the voters, is now on file.
Expenditures for provements.
Section 423 of the Code of 1897 reads as
follows;
The Board of Supervisors shall not or
der the erection of Court House, Jail,
Poor House or other building, or
bridge, when the probable cost will ex-
ceed Five Thousand Dollars in value,
nor the purchase of real estate for
county purposes exceeding Two Thous-
and Dollars in value, until PROPOSE
ton therefore shall have been submit
ted to the legal voters Of the county,
and voted for by majority of all per-
sons voting for and against such prop
osition at a general or special election,
notice of the same being given for thir-
ty days previously, in newspaper, if
one be published in the county, and, if
none be published, therein, then by
written notice posted in public place
in each township in the county"
1t will be seen from the above section
of the Code that the Board of Super
visors cannot order the erection of such
a Court House until such proposition
shall have been submitted to the legal
voters of the County.
We therefore respectfully solicit your
opinions on this matter of so vital an
interest to us all; let us hear from you
at an early date that matters may be
discussed whereby we can form an
opinion as to whether it is the wish of
the majority of the people to have the
question submitted, or not.
