HOG CHOLERA LOSSES.
tabor Beacon.l
Last week this paper stated that altho
the cholera had exterminated whole
herds OF hogs, the use OF the serum
treatment by the government experts
had proven successful In 60 per cent Of
the cases treated. In conversation this
week with one OF the government en-s
ployes, he stated that in his opinion hog
cholera can never be stamped out until
farmers compel the enforcement OF the
law. Cholera hogs are buried few
inches deep. The neighborhood dogs dig
them up and drag the germs around
over the country and of course the hogss
take the cholera and die. A couple Of
Thousand dollars worth OF hogs die Of
the cholera because some body did not
bury or burn their hogs as the law re-
squires, and becaues couple OF farmers
sinsist On keeping a couple of|dogs which
run over the entire country. If thu far;
!mers want to enforce the law they must
enforce the law in every community.
Otherwise they will continue to uffer
from its ravages every year.

President Mckinley has dealt with
national perils and responsibilities such
as have not confronted any other adj
ministration since the civil war While
he has not been able to steer the shipso Of
state to the satisfaction OF all he has
passed every danger point successfully.
No president since Lincoln has been
worse misrepressnted, and certainly
none in this list will stand forth more
conspicuous in the annalsSof greatness
and patriotism. The thoughtful citizen
never permits his utilization to be decid-
ed by any whim. He ia not easily de-
ceived by promises. He is not apt to
overlook a record of helpful perform
ance. He is not looking for the party
that suits his peculiar views in every
detail of political faith, but rather that
with which he is in most substantial
agreement. This country Is really con
ltrolled BY the thoughtful citizen in such
times as these and he has no idea8of
taking any chances on political change
so sweeping and so perllous as from Nc
Kinley to Bryan.
SUCCESSORS TO BOOTLEGGERS.
Judge Mcpherson has juet held his
| first term of court at Council Bluffs. He
told the editor of the Glenwood Tribune

with one fact and that was, there were
20 few cases OF bookkeeping up for die
position al this term Of court. Thus raj

from Audubon county who had sold
whisky Illegally. It is simply amaz-
ling" said the Judge What a change
has been brought about in the bootleg

1 went to Council Bluffs to ATTEND the
federal court, the room would be packed
with bootleggera and witnesses in their
leases. Now half dozen cases are all

Judge Mcpherson did not advance any
hypothesis 10 account fol-. this change

Ordinarily observant Of the conditions

business in these parts Whisky sellers
land whisky users adopt different meth

TRAFFIC. Formerly it was the bootlegger

performs this function. A FELLOW who
Irepresents these liquor houses will &C
