{ Excellent Prospects.

Through the columns of last Thurs
days Milwaukee Sentinel Lieutenant
Governor Jesse Stone gave out the
following opinion as to the political
outlook: ''As far as my observation
goes the outlook is very favorable for
the Republican ticket, both state and
national. | find up our way that
there are lots of young men who come
of Democratic parents who are going
to cast their first vote at the coming
election, and who are going to vote
the Republican ticket. SO far as the
Gold Democrats are cOncerned-thOse
who voted with us in 1861 think
we shall retain about 80 per cent. of
them. This is the result of my OBJ
servations about Watertown and that
neigh borhood. | see no reason why
Congressman Dahle should not have
big majority in our district. He
certainly will get a big vote in Jeffer-
son and Dodge counties, as good as
he received two years ago. haven't
been in Dane county yet. but shall 60
over there soon. | can see no reason
why he should not run as we'll in
Dane county as he did in 1898. Yes.
/ am going out over the state, but
shall not make any speeches. | am
not an orator, you know. and make no
pretensions in that way. | have been

Canker Sore Mouth of Young Pigs.

Many requests for information

The symptoms shown are as follows:
Sore mouth, swelling of the jaws;
white, sometimes light brown scabs,.
which later show deep cracks, are
found on the snout extending over
the head, and even to the body and
limbs; in some cases an ulcer will

the ears may be affected and drop Off
There is dullness, loss of power in the.
hind limbs, tendency to walk on the
fetlocks, disinclination to move, the
pigs usually standing with their backs
bumped up. They either refuse to-,
suckle entirely or else do so in half
hearted manner. If made to walk
and move will squeal as if in pain.
To be effective the treatment must
be prompt and thorough. The young
pigs must first be attended to by dip
ping the entire head in one of the fol-
lowing solutions, being careful not to-.
drown the pig:
A.-Permanganate of potash, one
ounce, dissolved in half a gallon of
water This solution is practically
harmless to the pigs and may be used
without any fear as to the results; Or
B.-Creolin ofchloro-naphtholeum
one ounce to half gallon of water.
These solutions should be applied
three times at intervals of two or
three days. Before using the solu-
tions, remove as far as possible all dirt
from the pigs snout, or a larger
amount of the solution will have to-
be used to get good results. The
sow's udder should also be washed
with one of these solutions two or
three times.
Distinction of the farrowing pens
with hot lime water should also be
y rformed, rs it has been noticed that
litters farrowed in the same pen at
different times have been affected.

Any person using these remedies or
having pigs affected with this disease

porting their experiences to the under
signed. The drugs mentioned can be.
procured at any drug store.

Football! at the Northwestern.

The Northwestern university foot
ball team has been in practice since
the beginning of the school year, early
this month. Prospects seemed blighted
in the beginning by the lack of heavy
material for right guard and left half
back, but two new men have present
ed themselves for these positions and
are showing up we'll, considering
their inexperience at the game. Com
paratively light practice was taken
by the team until week ago, when
harder work began. The team will
have to round into shape somewhat
earlier this season owing to the fact
that the first hard game takes place
next Saturday with Lawrence univer-
slty at Appleton. Considerable is left
to be done before then, and every
effort will be made to secure coach
before the first game. The lineup of
the team is the following: Schultz.

Lembcke, right guard; Buchholz,

A NARROW ESCAPE.
No. Hose Wagon Runs Down a Little
Girl, but She Luckily Escapes Injury

No. Hose Wagon Runs Down Little
Girl, but She Luckily Escapes Injury.
The 10-year-old daughter of Fred
rich Behling, Of Ala North Warren
street, had a narrow escape from
serious injury. and perhaps death
last Friday morning shortly before
o'clock. An alarm Of fire was turned
in from the plant of the American
Mailing company and the department
responded promptly. Mol hose wagon
was the first to start, going south on
First street. The hook aud ladder
truck followed in its wake, but as it
was about to cross Main street, there
appeared to be danger lurking. for
just at that moment No. hose wagon,
driven by Will Spear, came rapidly
along Main street from the west side.
From the fact that a dray stood in the
way at the southwest corner of Main
and First streets. Spear was convinced
that he could not make short turn
OF the corner without cOlliding with
the dray, and he also saw that if he
continued straight up Main street he
could not clear the hook and ladder
truck. So he swung his team to the
north and in SO doing drove onto the
sidewalk at the Merchants bank cor
ner. Here crowd of people had
congregated and although Spear ap-
piled the brake, the hose wagon could
not be stopped before it had struck
the fire hydrant. In the scurrying to
and fro of the people, the little girl
above mentioned was thrown into
contact with the horses and drawn
under them. She fell beside the
curbing and it was by the merest
chance that she was not trampled to
death. In less time, however, than
it takes to tell it, she was extricated
from her perilous position, and it was
ascertained that aside from bad
scare and few slight bruises she was
unharmed. One of the horses had
stepped on her hair and cut off a por-
tion, while her jacket was also severed
from her person. She vas taken to
DR.. Werner's Office and cared for.
1t seems that Spear did not know
where the fire was, so concluded to
follow the other hose'wagon HAD he
known the exact location, no doubt
all trouble would have been averted
for he would then have chosen a
different course.
The fire at the mailing plant was
OF hardly any consequence and only
Sl Irrh n t.
ated in the basement ard was extln-
