To John A. Creighton of Omaha has
fallen the honor of receiving the Lac
tare medal from the University of
Notre Dame this year. This medal is
annually presented on Laetare Sunday
-mid-Sunday of Lent-whence it
takes its name. 1t is a mark of rec
ognition for Catholic laymen not un-
like the Golden Rose, presented by the
pope to distinguished Catholic sover-
eigns. The medal is intended as a
recognition of services rendered by the
laity in behalf of religion, education
and morality. Men and women have
received it because of their notable
services to religion in different lines of
public duty. Historians, journalists,
jurists, engineers, artists, writer's and
physicians have been recognized by
this distinction.
John A. Creighton is one of the pio-
neers of Omaha. He has been identi-
fed with the business interests of that
city from its foundation and is one OF

valuable hints in regard to their char

greatly increased during the four
years which have elapsed since Their

Azoturia, disease of horses. is like
ly to give more or less trouble now.
The late spring has made the farmer
anxious to get his crop in with all pos
sible speed. To do so he has during
the last few weeks fed his horses heav-
lily to get them into shape for the hard
work ahead of them An outbreak of
this disease, five horses being affected

AS this disease is a serious one and oft

ton should be known by the farmer.
says A. j. Hopkins, veterinarian at the
university.
The causes are heavy feeding, espe-
cially on rich foods. and lack of exer-

for day or two
The symptoms are: When taken

struggles violently. The muscles over
the rump GROUP and loins are often
greatly swollen and hard. The urine
is thick and coffee-colored.
Needed treatment varies according
TO the case and to the severity of the
symptoms. The animal should be
placed in a warm, dry, well-bedded
stall, and hot applications be made to
the loins. A blanket wrung out in
hot water, or hot salt or hot bran in a
bag may be applied, or even some
stimulating liniment Keep the bow
els moving; injections will aid for
that purpose. The urine should be
drawn once or twice daily and the ami

sweating by giving plenty of water to
drink and blanketing. The stall must
be well bedded, to avoid bruises and
bed sores on the patient
Prevention is far more important

Kept idle in the stable, whether on
Eight or heavy feed. Exercise must be
given every day. If animals are to
be laid off work, reduce the grain feed.
GIVE bran mash containing a table
spoonful of salt once a week. Horses
that are good feeders and easy keep
ers are especially liable to this disease.
If exercise cannot be given any other
way turn out in the barnyard or pad
dock for a few hours every day. If
these precautions are followed the
farm horses will never be affected
with this dread trouble, which usually
appears at the busiest season of the
year.

from his forehead and put on his coat

ior the first time invests a man with a
feeling somewhat similar to the one
which comes to him when he removes
from his face his mustache. for in tbe
former instance he feels that there is

its most honored and respected citi-
zens. Creighton university, the first
endowed Catholic university in the
United States, was founded by the late
Edward Creighton. 1t has been en-
larged and developed by the gifts oi
John A. Creighton. St. Joseph's
hospital was founded by the wife of
John A. Creighton and her bequest
was increased fourfold by her husband
to make the hospital a fitting monu-
ment to ais deceased wife. The medi-
cal college that bears his name was
established by his gifts and made a
part OF Creighton university, and nu-
merous charities in the city of Omaha
attest the liberality and benevolence
of the man that Notre Dame honors
with this medal, its highest mark of
appreciation. Edward Creighton had
one ideal in life, and that was to
found free institution of learning to
be conducted under Catholic auspices;
but he died intestate, and the plans he
had outlined were left unprovided for
His wife, Mrs. Mary Lucretia Creigb-
ton, inherited his entire fortune. She
knew of her husbands plans ard de-
termined to put them into execution.
In her will she bequeathed S150,000 to
the founding of a college that should
bear her husbands name, and Creigh-
ton college was erected in the city of
Omaha and given over to the Jesuit
order. TO this endowment fund John
A. Creighton has added liberal dona-
lions to aid in the execution and equip
lnent of the college. The next object
of Mr.. Creighton's bounty was St.
Joseph's hospital, which was built by
him at cost of $250,00O. When it
was completed, he again directed his
attention to education and founded the
John A Creighton Medical college in
connection with the hospital. This
medical college became a part of the
Creighton university. He gave large
ly to the building of St. Johns church,
near the college. The convent of the
oor~Clares was built by him upon
land that he donated, and a fund was
set aside for the maintenance of the
convent. His ilberality toward char
ity and education received recognition
some years ago by his appointment to
the title and distinction of a Roman
count by Pope Leo XIII.
Last year it was awarded to Mary
Gwendolen Caldwell, founder of the
Catholic university. She was the
fourth woman to receive the honor.
Ten Of the 16 that have received the
medal are now dead. The names of
those who have already been chosen

tare medal are: John Culinary Shea

KENTUCKY wITCHERY.

one of which occurred while he was in
a village, while the other happened
but few days before.
When he arrived in the place al

woman in the place who was lying
seriously ILL., The members of her
family had secured two black cats. one
OF which was fastened under the
front steps of the house, while the
other was similarly placed under the
rear steps. A dog was tied by his tan

family thought that she was bewltched,

TO be on guard against the witch. I'm
TO the time of leaving Inspector Betz
says That no physician had arrived,
and the woman was in a precarious
condition.
The other case he related was as fol-
lows: A young man called upon n
physician a number of miles away
from the house of the formers sick
brother. The young man explained
that his brother was bew!tched, and
wanted the physician to use endeayors

that If he tried TO cure the boy In the
regular way but little attention would

would try a little conJuring.
From what the young man said the
physician readily diagnosed the case
as commissions, which TO the SINNER
stitlous would readily give rise TO the
belief that thu afflicted one was be-
witched. The physician pulled from
MS library very large volume. and
opening 1t at random, began going
through improvlsed lamentations He
knew that commissions as a rule ceased
after they had run for a certain
period, and when he had got through
with his humbuggery he told the Young
man his brother would be better AZ

slept at the Doctors house that night
and early the next morning the pair
drove to the home OF the sick man.
The doctor feared that perhaps his
prophecy had failed, but was treasured
wnen told that the commissions had
ceased at about the time stated.
He then administered to the sick
man in the regular way so as to pre-
vent an immediate recurrence OF the
malady. He further knew that Il was
customary that in cases where witches
