Hope of Gen. Harrison's Recovery
Is Abandoned.

indianapolis, Ind, March 13.-Gen.
Benjamin Harrison can live but a few
hours. His condition up to an early
hour Tuesday morning was encourag-
ing to his physicians, but at that time
he became restless, and an hour or so
later DIR. Jameson, who had left the
eN-president's bedside at midnight for
his own home, vas hastily summoned
by DIR. Dorsey, who has remained con
stantly in the sick room for several
days past. None but the physicians
and a few intimate friends are adj
mitted to the house, although there
was a constant stream of carriages
with callers all day. Those at the

Our school election on Monday was
the most exciting in many years. We
had three directors to elect. j. w.
Sarvis and o. M. Stout were elected
for full term and Dan Augustine to
fill vacancy. The main excitement
was over the proposition to build a
new school house and also for bonds
to build it. This brought out a large
vote of the district, 159 votes being
polled. The s~choolhouse PROPOSE
ton carried just 2 to 1-106 to So. We
beat Oskaloosa bad on the vote of
women. / Q that only 2 voted in
the city, while "a women voted here,
40 for q new sehoolhouse and Is
against it.. So it will be in order
now for the new school board to look
we'll to the building of a good house,
which will be a credit to the town
and neighborhood.

March 6, 1901.

Bob Gibbons was severely injured
ia the Pekay mines Monday ard it is
reported here that recovery is doubt
full. The young man was riding in a
"trip" and was severely squeezed be-
tween the side of a car and the side
of the entry. Gibbons will be remem-
bered as a local base ball player of
considerable ability and note and
worked in the Western League dur
ing the latter part of the season of
1900.

which the gravity of the case de-
manded. When he returned he said
that the condition of Gen. Harrison
was extremely critical, and it is inn
possible to say how long in his weak
ened condition the patient might be
able to resist the deepening of the
congestion.
Resort to oxygen.
During the afternoon the physi-
clans ~resorted to the Oxygen" treat
ment in an endeavor to furnish relief
to the general of the constant pain
and labor of breathing with which he
contended. 1t consisted in supplying
the lungs with pure oxygen. By this
means the ability of the parts of the
lungs not congested and inflamed to
purify the blood was greatly in
creased. The injured and iniamed
parts are permitted to rest by mean
of the oxygen treatment, while the
parts still unaffected work double.
1t was this treatment which saved
the life of Rudyard Kipling when he
suffered his severe illness from pneu-
monia.
DIR. Jameson, in giving out the pub
lie bulletins, has been conservative,
and it was thought by some that Gen.
Harrison's condition was even mor
alarming than these bulletins would
indicate. 1t was stated Tuesday morn
ing that a prominent member of the
Harrison family had telephoned from
the residence at noon that all hope
had been abandoned.
Hundreds Of Inquiries.
The widespread interest in the con-
dition of the former president is
shown by the hundreds of messages
from every part of the country which
poured into the newspaper offices and
to the Harrison home during the day,
There was not a state or territory
that did not make inquiry by wire,
and many were the expressions hop
ing that there might be a turn fol
the better. Among the many tele.
grams of inquiry received by Private
Secretary Tibbetts was the following
from the white house:
''washington, March 12.-Wil you be
good enough to advise me of Gen. Har'
rison's condition. The president is very
much panied to learn by the latest report:
Of the serious character of the generals
illness.
(Signed)
GEORGE C~oRTELYoU, Secretary"
d. NJ. Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms o.
the United States senate, left Wash
ington for Indianapolis Tuesday wher
he learned of the serious condition Of
Gen. Harrison. The people of Indian
apolis, who have known the genera
so long, were not less eager for new
from the bedside than the citizens Of
other cities and states, and the tele
phones in the newspaper Offices were
in constant use during the day in an
swering inquiries. The news tina
there seemed to be little if any hope
for recovery comes as a shock to the
neighbors and friends of the general
although they knew he was a very
sick man.

In giving an account of the
burning at the stake of Fred
Alexander by a mob at Leaven-
worth, Kansas, last week, the
daily press contained the news
that those present scrambled for
pieces of charred flesh, bone, and
ashes of the burned wood to keep
as souvenirs of the occasion. Is
the state of Kansas civilized or
barbarous? Burning a human
being it seems ought to satisfy
the most depraved, but when it
comes to men, in this enlightened
age, retaining the burned flesh
of the victim so as to remember
the event, campaign of educa-
ton should be inaugurated to

Drying Up Dairy Cows.

Many farmers are thinking Of turn
ing their cows dry. Some have begun
to do SO already, perhaps in order that
they may winter them more cheaply,
says F. e. Uhl in Kansas Farmer.
Should this be done? The answer to
this question depends upon the circum-
stances. Many Kansas COWS can no
doubt be turned dry with profit to their
owners, but it would be folly to dry up
all Of them. The best COW, the young,
promising heifer, should not share the
fate of her beefy sisters.
Let us note the cows that may yield
better returns from eating only coarse
roughness. Those that are unprofta-
BILE at best, yielding less than enough
to pay for feed and care in an ordinary
year, the slow and hard mixer, may as
we'll eat at the second table unless they
have lately or soon will come fresh.
The fairly good cow could be dried off
in many cases after she has given the
most of her flow for the year. The
beefy COW must certainly take a back
seat
There are some cows, however, which
should have the best, and these are the
best COWS, together with the heifers,
which may become best COWS. Cows
which usually pay well for feed and
care should be well fed even at some
sacrifice, especially if they are fresh
late in summer or fall.
