CATHARINE GOES TO JAIL.
Had Smashed Mr.. RobinSOn'S Furniture
and Is Arrested.

and Is Arrested.
A woman giving her name as Cath
arine Flanagan and ostensibly EN-
ployed as housekeeper for John H.
Robinson, near Floyd, this county,
but who in reality lived with him as
his wife, and to whom seven children
have been born, was arrested yester-
day morning by Sheriff Oester at
Robinson's house upon a warrant
sworn out for her by Robinson charg-
ing her with disturbing the peace.
The woman is apparently thirty
years of age, red headed and evident
ly has all the characteristics of one
who is blessed with auburn locks.
Robinson says that the woman on
Sunday morning raised row and
after getting him to move toward the
door fired sticks of stove wood after
him, broke up the furniture in the
house and then to make her victory
complete armed herself..with a Win
chester rifle and ran him off the place.
The woman was brought to Oak
land and after preliminary hearing
before Justice Gender she was COM
mitted to Jail, no bond being forth
coming for her future good behavior.
After being committed to jail the
woman swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Robinson charging him with
assault and battery. He was arrested
this morning by Sheriff Oester and
brought to Oakland where the case
was heard against him by Justice
Gender who imposed fine of S. and
costs. During the trial the fact de-
veloped that Robinson has a wife liv-
ing and that the woman's husband
is not dead. These facts having been
brought to the attention of the court
Robinson was held under bond for
his appearance before the court in
September for adultery and the wo-
man released upon her own recogni-
zance

NO USE FOR BLANKET SHEETS.
An Oklahoma Editor who Favors the
Modern Form of Newspaper.

An Oklahoma Editor who Favors the
Modern Form of Newspaper.
Every once In while you will hear
some newspaper whose editor is bound
by traditions of the past to old-fogy
ideas and out-of-date methods. says
the Chandler (Okla) News, sneer at
the small-page paper. Generally those
who do so think that Il paper pos.
scsscs merit exactly In proportion to
the size of the sheet 1t Is printed on.
1t would be just as sensible of
course TO argue that n pancake three
feet across would taste better than
one OF the standard size. but you
can't make them see II. They think
that newspaper whose pages are so
big that one In reading II must hold
his arms like the sign at n railroad
crossing takes the highest rank.
Did you ever notice that in reading
these big blanket.shcets person al
most always folds 1t up? That Is be-
cause the size Is most convenient to
handle. and the question naturally oc.
ours, why is 1t not better to make the
pages that size to begin with?
If big pages are of such great
value. why should not our books all
be printed like Il Sunday newspaper?
The small-page paper is not only more
convenient to handle, but 1t allows n
more careful classification of matter,
and 1t enables the publisher to give n
better service to his advertisers with
out infringing upon the rights of his
readers.
You have noticed many times that
the space in the blg-page papers Is
very nearly fixed in quantity, making
It difficult to increase the amount
when emergencies demand slight
addition. The result of this Is that
with such papers sudden rush of ad-
vertlsing will frequently crowd out
nearly all the reading matter.
This is difficulty which the small
page paper Is not troubled with. If
the publisher of the four-column paper
has little more than the usual
amount of advertising he adds two
pages; il he has good deal more than
usual he may add four, and when the
extra demands upon his space have
been removed he can drop back to the
usual number. his readers have not
been cheated and the advertisers have
not been neglected.
The only objections we have heard
from our subscribers to the present
form of the News Is that the small
sheets are not so good to put on the
pantry shelves as are those CT the
blanket sheets.

Beri-beri Is common in the Phillip
pines and in China and Japan. The
Japs call 1t kakke. and accounts of 1t
are found in the ancient writings of
Chinese physicians, which prove that
1t has existed in that country for
many centuries. Its principal vic
Tins are men between twenty and
thirty years old. but old men ana
women are occasionally attacked.

muscular paralysis. have known
clever physicians from Europe to
diagnose it as muscular rheumatism,
locomotor ataxia, heart disease,
Brights disease, etc. There have been
several epidemics of beri-beri in the
Jail at Hong Kong, and sometimes an
isolated case Is found on board ship.
If the American soldiers at Manila
escape it they will be lucky, as cases
among the British soldiers in these
ATTITUDES are not at all rare.
The premonitory symptoms are gen
orally a state of great restlessness and
inability to perform ordinary work;
the legs and knees become weak:
there is a numbness of the feet. shins
and finger tips, weakness of the
muscles, difficulty in breathing and
palpitation of the heart. Sometimes
the victim has painful cramps in the
muscles of the calf and thigh; he has
splitting headaches, fever and chills.
These symptoms may continue for
several weeks before he Is obliged to
take to his bed. Berl-beri is n many
sided disease, but, though the symp-
toms are conflicting, there are two
which are never absent-numbness of
the shins and soreness at the calves
of the legs. This numbness sometimes
extends all over the arms and legs,
and in a severe case the patient may
be unable to move at all after n few
days. The mind becomes dull and in
active, but the senses of hearing,
sight taste and smell are generally
unimpaired.

Wrapper with Square Yoke.

No wrapper ever devised Is more
comfortable and satisfactory for neg
ligeo wear than the simple Mother
Hubbard. The admirable May Man
ton model shown in the double column
drawing Is made in that style, but Is
vastly improved and added to by the
circular bertha that outlines the yoke.
Tho original Is made of cashmere. in
n deep garnet with dots of black, and
iS trimmed with n narrow black velvet
ribbon and worn with girdle of wider
velvet; but henrietta, albatross. French
and Scotch fiannels, and the still sim
pier flannelettes are all suitable.
The model Is made over fitted
lining which extends to the waist and
onto which the yoke portions are
faced; bur when preferred, the yoke
only can be used and the wrapper
allowed to fall from its edge. The
lining Is fitted with single darts and
includes under-arm cores, which rem
der it comfortably snug, and curves
in to the figure. The wrapper consists
OF fronts, back and under-arm cores,
and is gathered at the upper edge,
where 1t is Joined to the yoke. The
sleeves are in bishop style, with be-
coming frills at the hands. and the
neck is finished with a deep turnover
collar. The bertha, which is optional,
is circular and takes graceful, undulat-
ing folds. The lower edge of the skirt
is trimmed with straight gathered
fiounce nine inches deep, but the trim
ming may be varied or the lower edge
simply hemmed.
To cut this wrapper, without flounce,
for woman of medium size, nine and
one-half yards of material twenty
seven inches wide, eight yards thirty
inches wide, or six yards forty-four
inches wide will be required.

Blackleg is an infectious disease,
caused by specific germ. which is
almost universally present in the
ground in all districts where the
disease is known to prevail. This
microbe, upon gaining entrance into
the system. usually through pune
tured wounds made by briers or stub
bles, develops rapidly and causes
hemorrhagic, bluish-black. gas-filled
swellings. The course of the disease
is very rapid and the animal usually
dies within twenty-four hours after
the appearance of the first symptom.

smallpox From Infested sheepsliu..

A patient in the Montreal General
Hospital is suffering from smallpox.
The patient is man about forty-fivc
years of age, and has been employed
as u dresser and sorter of hides and
skins. He says that about two weeks
ago the firm in whose employ he is
received large shipment Of sheep
skins, and since then he has been en-
gagged in dressing them. About a week
ago he felt pimple on the back OF
his neck. The next day there We're
several other similar spots, which
finally formed large dark-colored
spot on the left side of the neck. The
skin around the spot was greatly in
famed. Soon after this a rash ap-
peared. Constitutional symptoms set
in and the patient became very weak.
Under treatment the case has made re-
markable progress for the better, and
should nothing unforeseen occur, the
patient will make rapid recovery.
There can be no doubt that the
source of infection in this case was
the Sleeps hides, the animals during
life being infected with the disease
and their skins carrying the germs to

BLIGHT on Apple Trees.


The blight on apple trees beginning
is thought by some to be the same as
the pear blight, which opinion they
support by saying that If blight be-
gins in the pear orchard, it often will
spread into the apple orchard. We
no not consider this as proof positive,
but rather as showing that they are
of similar fungous origin. and the
causes which may produce one may
produce the other, though the disease
may work more rapidly on the pear
than on the apple tree. We know
of but one remedy in either case.
which is cutting off and burning all
infected limbs. Spraying with Bord-
eaux mixture of the trees, double
strength, or four pounds OF sulphate
of copper, four pounds of lime in
twenty-five gallons of water has been
thought to act as preventive II used
before the trees leaved out, and fol-
lowed by spraying with same amount
in fifty gallons of water after the
bloom has passed, and even after the
fruit has been picked, and we do not
doubt that it is sure, safe and not
expensive preventive if used at the
right time, but we need more informa.
tion as to the right time to use 1t.
We know this, that if cutting is re-
sorted to for the purpose Of checking
pear and apple blight it should be
done soon after the twigs turn black
and cutting then should not be less
than one foot back of the blighted
twigs-The Cultivator.

An Expensive staple reed.

Potatoes are the most expensive Of
all the staple foods. They contain
from $50 to 500 pounds of water In
every 1000 pounds. the solid matter
being mostly starch. The farmer also
finds the potato crop one of the most
exacting in its requirements of labor,
one OF the greatest obstacles being
warfare against beetles and diccases.
At present prices potatoes are more
expensive than beef. considering the
actual proportion OF nutritious matter
contained, but it is only when prices
are high that the potato crop IS very
profitable, owing to The expenses
necessary for It's cultivation.
