THIS MAY Be A MAD DOG
Albert Merrill Badly Bitten by Dog
Which Very Likely IS Suffering
from HydrOphObia.

Sunday afternoon 'AlbertI Merrill,
boy of seven whom Jesse Rosenberg
north of town, is raising was playing
with their dog. He in some way
angered the animal and the Infatuated
beast attacked the boy knocking him
down and bouncing on his head. He
bit him savagely cutting four large
gashes in his head every one of them
going clear to the bone. One cut on
the top was circular in shape and the
scalp was cut loose around place
some two or three inches in diameter.
DIR. Shadwick was called and dressed
the wounds and the boy is up and
around.
The serious feature of the case is
that the dog was shot in the back
about ten days ago and while it is not
known for certain it is thought that he
has hydrophobia, especially since his
vicious attack on the boy. Should it
develop that he has the case will
prove very serious. To be on the
safe side Mrs. Rosenberg took
Albert to TT. Scott Monday where
there is a mad stone and have it APP
piled in the hopess that if the dog is
mad the boys life can be saved.
This same dog has tried to devour
the boy twice before and he carries a
scar over one eyebrow and another on
his cheek as a result. 1t would seem
that such dogs are little dangerous
to have around children.

Kit Lewis Released

The REGISTER has already noted the
excitement at Chanute over the arrest
of Kit Lewis for burning the Methodist
church at that place. The following
from the Chanute Tribune is the clos.
ing chapter of the case
Kit Lewis, charged with burning the
old Methodist church seven years ago,
was released from the Erie Jail last
evening, and returned to Chanute on
the evening train, Judge Stillwell hav.
ing sustained the motion made by At
torney Farrelly to quash information:
and thus the church burning case ends
which has aroused so much interest in
Chanute and promised to be so sensa-
tional.
The statute of limitation is what
rescued Kit so easily from the clutches
of the law. Judge Stillwell in making
his decision said that If the state could
prove all stated in the information
filed, there would be no grounds fol
action, as it would not prove that she
had concealed the crime, which was
necessary to keep the statute of limita.
ton from applying,
Whether Kit really burned tho
church or not is hard to tell. If the
testimony of John Lewis, and hi,
mother and sister, who were to be the
star Witnesses, is reliable, there seem.
10 be no question but that she did, II:
dispositions they have given leave nc
other conclusion. On the other hand
it is claimed they manufactured thi,
charge to get revenge on Kit, Who has

/ PAYS TO FERTII|ZE.
Splendid Results From a Small In
vestment in Bone Dust.

The REGISTER has from time to time
published reports OF experiments IN de
by Allen county farmers in the way of
fertilizing their land for wheat. In
every case, so far as reported, the re-
suit has more than exceeded expecta-
ton; the experimenters getting back
by way of larger crops several times
the cost of the fertilizer used.
The latest report comes from Mr.. j.
Butler, and it stronglysemphasizes all
that has been said before. Mr. Butler
tried it on eighty acres of white up
land which he owns west of the river.
The land is so thin that never yet has
the crop, whatever it may have been,
been worth gathering all over the
eighty. Nineteen bushels of wheat to
the acre is the very best he has ever
been able to get from it. This year he
threshed out thirtytwo bushels to the
acre, machine measure. He is conf
dent that this is fully twice as much as
he would have got if he had not used
the bone dust, and he figures, there
fore, that he made a good investment.
Mr.. Butler used a Buckeye fertil-
izer-drill to SOW his wheat,-a machine
which drills in the fertilizer right
along with the wheat, and he thinks
that is the only way to handle the
bone dust economically and to the
best advantage. He sowed about l75
pounds to the acre, at cost of 81 a
hundred. He is so well pleased with
the result however, that he is going to
order a carload for use this fall.
"And there is one thing that l want
you to say especially" said Mr..
Butler in making this report to the
REGISTER, -" and that is that the
chinch bugs do not damage the fer
tilted wheat. The bone dust has a
horrible smell, and whether it is this
or what it is | do not know; but tie
fact is that there were no bugs in my
fertilized wheat"
And Mr. Sickley said the same
thing about his. He spoke of neigh
Dor, whose field, adjoining his own,
was entirely eaten up by the bugs,
while his own wheat was not hurt
at all.
Now, therefore, if by sowing one or
two dollars worth of bone dust on an
acre of ground one can get twice as
big II crop and at the same time in
sure it against the chinch bugs, why
should not every farmer in Allen
county spend a few dollars that way?
Surely all tho evidence goes to show
that it would be a good investment.

Prepare For Rain,

1.-The thing for the farmers to do, +"
said VIM. II. Barnes, secretary of the
State Horticultural society, in the
REGISTER Office yesterday, sis to have
everything ready and the minute it
rains rush their gardens and forage
crops into the ground. There is no
reason why they shouldn't have just
as good gardens in the fall as in the
spring And if the rains come any
time by the first of September there
will be time before frost for kat1r corn
and sorghum cane and millet to make
big crops of forage 1t could not be
expected to mature, but it WOULD grow
large enough to make several tons OF
good feed to the acre when cut gre n
and cured, We can't get full cror
this year." Mr.. Barnes concluded,
but we can do great deal better than
suffer total failure,
Mr.. Barnes was here TO attend the
monthly meeting of the Horticulture
society which was held at the home OF
Mr.. j. O. Ferris in Elm township, anC

made, added much to the interest anC

ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by Many

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
An lola residents tells you how this
can be done.
Mr.. T. II. Jones, Smelter, of 400 No.
Jefferson Street, says: "A child of
mine was constantly complaining OF a
weak back. She was frequently un-
able to attend school and could not
carry three quart pail of water.
Latterly the pain was continual.
Knowing that if such conditions we're
not attended to the case would become
chronic, was constantly on the out
look for medicine to help her, but un-
til l went to c. B. Spencer & Co. S
