HORSES DYING.
Ottawa Farmers Are Losing Many
From Mysterious Causes

Ottawa, Oct 16.-Newe1I Kirkham
who lives on a. farm south of town, re-
ports that many horses are dying in his
neighborhood. He lost a fine team q
few days ago, so did a neighbOr, Dell
Hill. He said he had also heard that
two more in the neighborhood had died
but could not tell who owned them.
The horses die in the corn field where
they are being used in gathering the
corn crop. It is supposed they con-
tract a disease from the smut of the
cornstalk. They live only few hours.
Kirkham worked his team up till noon
yesterday and both horses were dead
last night.
The first symptoms of the disease, the
horse appears stupid and refuses to
drink and begins to blOat. The best
remedy yet discovered is to give linSeed
oil then follow with salts.
Some think the disease may come
from chinch bugs which are found on
the stalks in large numbers.

DESTRUCTIVE WORMS.
Wheat II Being Damaged In McPher-
son County.

Mcpherson, Kas., Oct. 16.-A small
worm about an inch in length and, in
appearance very much like cut worm,
is doing considerable damage to wheat
in some localities in this county.
They have destroyed a thirty acre
field for T. L. Bradbury of Jackson
township and are at work on a forty
acre field but he is trying to check
them by narrowing it well.
They have also destroyed ten acres
for Mr.. Hochstrasser and are after
some wheat. The worms seem to be
worst around straw stacks where the
wheat was threshed early and on
ground that was listed
Mr.. Bradbury brought in a few
worms and took them to Warren, Kas.,
to find out what they are. He says
they are not the army worm but he
does not exactly know what they are.
He sent few of them to Washington
to see what the authorities there will
call them.

Judge CLASH Denies.

Narysville, Oct.16.-Judge W. s. Glass
of the TWenty-first judicial district, de-
MES the rumors to the effect that he
will be a candidate for the nomination
for congressman of the Fifth district in

him out of his reelection this fall. He
refuses to allow his name to go before
either the Democratic or Populist con-
