William Allen was known as the Iron
Governor OF Ohio. not because he had
been an r o king or anything like that.
but because he had not the slightest
sympathy in the world for a criminal
and whenever an application was made
TO him to pardon an erring n he was
as iron, and could not be moved. One
Thanksgiving eve ne was applied to for
the executive clemency by the wife OF a
notorious horse thief. and one who was
serving a third term for that. He sat
at his desk. his back turned to the
fearful pleader. not wen condescending
TO look at her. She had brought with
her a 5-year-old girl, who had been
quietly watching. Suddenly the child
went to him, and, pulling his coat tail.
said: You mean old thing, / want my
papa" And the Iron Governor snatched
her up, kissed her smack in n mouth.
and said: And you shall have him."
True TO his word. later that day the
wife and child came away from the
prison with the pardoned husband and

CATTLE Continue To- DIE.
Cold Weather Has Not stopped the Loss'

Gold weather Has Not stopped the Losses

Kimbail, S. D., Nov. 23.-Any vetS:in-
arian who will explain and point out a
remedy for tho mysterious losses Or
cattle experienced by stockmen from
their herds running and grazing in
fields OF cornstalks In this and other
localities throughout the state this fall
Will have the heartfelt gratitude or
thousands of stockmen.
This disease, or poison, or whatever
the trouble, which has killed from one
to twenty head of cattle for hundreds
of stockmen all over the state, usually
manifests itself almost Immediately
after turning a herd of cattle into corn
stalks, when some of them will drop
dead. Examinations of the stomachs
of the dead animals fails TO show any
unusual conditions. IL was thought for
some time that eating smut on the
stalks was the cause of the trouble, but
smut has lately been fed to cattle in
large quantities without producing any
bad results. A peculiar feature OF the
trouble is thai a herd may lose from
three to a dozen head in one field, and
then go to u field adjoining and Craze
there for weeks without any loss. A
case I'm point is that of a farmer near
Kimball who let his stock run in
three different fields for over two
weeks and her turned them into an
other field, and lost four head the first
day.. A farmer near Mitchell lost
eighteen head in one day lately from
this trouble. II 10 a mystery, SEEM

In Butler county, Pa, constructed and
furnished at a cost OF 500, 000. The
overseers OF the poor throughout the
county have been extending help to
some 400 persons. and It was expected
that at least half that number would
be willing to take up their residence In
The palatial new home prepared for
them. So far sixteen persons only rave
consented to go there, and efforts TO
persuade others have failed. 1t Is
probable the overseers Will regard
themselves as relieved of any further
obligations to those who thus decline
the hospitality of the county.
