BROKER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Jumped From the High Bridge Into
the Harlem River.

a broker, jumped from the high bridge
into the Harlem river, 12O feet below, to-
day. He was taken from the water un-
conscious, and died two hours later. 1t

fact that his wife has been so i'll Of late

necessary yesterday. Before he died he
said he had been suffering from heart
trouble and he complained greatly of the
heat.

SEARCH IN VAIN.
Court House Officials Unable to
Find Cork Screw In Building.

Monday morning A. I. Smith, as at
torney for Samuel Schoch, was in the
clerks Office paying of the fine and
costs in the suit brought against his
cliente for maintaining nuisance.
There happened to be bottle of ginger
ale in the clerks Office which was cap.
tured with the beer and which was part
of exhibit "B,"-that particular letter Of
the alphabet standing for beer. At
torney Smith out of the goodness of his,
heart proposed to treat the officials of the
court house to 'cold bottle" taken
right from the vault, and all the officers
were summoned to the clerks Office.
The necessity for cork screw then be.
came apparent but not man could be
found who had one in his possession.
The treasurer's office the recorders
Office, the superintendent's Office, and
even the county attorney and sherif's
| office was ransacked for a cork screw,
but the most diligent search failed to
bring to light the much needed, and at
times very useful article. At last Geo.
Roby was appealed to, but he had never
seen or had never even heard, so be
said, that there was such q thing as q
cork screw. And all this time the
county officers were getting awful
thirsty, and just at this moment Clerk
Stranahan started in on the chorus Of
that good old tune elbow dry 1 am
This was too much. The cork screw
proposition was passed up, and the
cork was pushed into the bottle and all
hands round joined in on the convivi
atty occasioned by one bottle of ginger
ale.
Since this incident occurred Auditor
Wall who has charge of buying the sup
plies for the county has been severely
censured by his fellow officers for having
overlooked adding cork screw4t to the
Office equipment of the court house. II
may be necessary to open bottle ofink
and as this emergency is liableto arise al
any time, the officers think he should
provide for just such an emergency.
| The above from the Ringgold Record
was read to each Of our county officer.
and not one Of them knew what such
| an article was.

corr STALK DISEASE.
Mu Oh Dangsr Seems to Lie In Feed
inc Stalks In the Field
to Cattle.

As the Herald stated last week, feed
ing shredded corn fodder is not injurious
to cattle, nor is feeding cut fodder
injurious, but turning cattle loose in
a standing field Of corn stalks is very
dangerous some years and seemingly
not dangerous other years, and this
seems to be one of the dangerous years.
Veterinary Stewart told us few days
ago OF no less than dozen farmers near
Charlton who have lost upwards of four
or five head of cattle from turning them
to feed in field of standing fodder.
After the fodder is cut all injurious
qualities seem to be obliterated from it,
but when standing in the field, at least
this year, it effects the cattle fatally If
they eat too freely of it. Among those
who have lost cattle are Ed Loynachan,
living eight miles north of town, who
lost several; Peter Lindquist, FIVE miles
north of town, who lost four; George
Mitchell, five miles south, who lost five;
Peter Nelson, six miles southwest, who
lost eight; Frank Carson, eight miles
northwest, and Frank Wright, Of Cedar,
who each lost several head. Besides
these there are many not named who
| have lost few apiece. and other yeter-
inaries can report perhaps as large list
of fatalities as DR.. Stewart.
The corn stalk disease is peculiar
one Cattle can eat the stalks in the
field couple of hours each day without
injury. Some years they can eat it all
day without injury, but the disease goes
by years, like seventeen year locusts,
and this is one Of the fatal years. The
cattle die very shortly after overlooking
themselves with the stalks. They
stagger and fall helplessly, as with blind
staggers, and when they are examined
after death it is found that their nerves
are affected, quantity of water having
gathered at the base of the brain cavity,
which no doubt causes death. The dis.
ease battles veterinarians, and there
seems to be no cure for it after the
cattle have once got it. The best way
to do is to not let the cattle eat the field
stalks moro than two or two and hall
hours each day. Or better still, cut the
stalks and feed them as fodder. Fodder
is always good feed, and saves more
expensive provender, and it is really
economy to buy stalk cutter and save
the fodder, and absolutely prevent any
danger from corn stalk disease. -Chari
ton Herald.

Reference is made to the last biennial
report in which we urge the establish
ment of an epileptic colony. Our opin-
ion as to the Importance of such an i'm
stltutlon has been confirmed by further
investigation. There are about 225 ep-
lleptics in the institution for feeble-
minded children at Glenwood. If they
are to be retained there additional and
special provision should be made for
| them at once, as the capacity of the i'm
stltution is already oyertaxed, and they
should be segregated and treated as
separate class. The reports show that
on the 31st day of last June there we're
- epileptics in county institutions, and
4
Superintendent Powell, after careful in
vestigstion, estimates the total number
in the state at from $500 to 4 1000. The
board therefore recommends that pro-
vision be made for all Of this unfortu-
nate class who need the help Of thu
state in separate institution which
