SAYS HE Wn.L WIN.
Elk Kentuckian Democratic candi-
date For Governor Of rlichigan.

Mr. r, Lee Suter Of the Board Of
Public Works, is iD receipt of a
letter from Mr.. John F. Bible, Of
Iohia, Mich, on his candidacy for
Governor of Michigan, in which Mr..
Bible says. "The conditions are
very peculiar in Michigan this
year, and if the present Governor
is renominated as it seems certain
that he will be, because the FEEDER
al machine has so ordered-I be
lieve it is not only possible for a
Democrat to be elected, but ! think
the chances are more favorable to
the Democrats than to the Republi-
cans.
Mr.. Bible is a Southerner by
birth and is well known in Ken
lucky. In 1889 he accepted the po-
sitlon of assistant manager
OwensboroWago Co., ofOwensborc,
and in addition to having fhe gen
eral supervision of the shops, he
spent more or lef time on the road,
soon largely increasing the output
of the company. His duties often
took him to Michigan, and he be-
come acquainted with some of the
Ionia Wagon Company. He become
general superintendent of the busi-
ness in July, 1898, and three years
later was elected secretary and
general manager, and is to-day one
of the two owners Of the big prop
erty.
Bibles friends brought him out
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and it is believed be Will
have no opposition before the con-
veutiou to name a ticket for State
offices. Many of the Democratic
papers Of Michigan have come out
for Mr.. Bible and Mr.. Suter be-
lives he will be the nominee and the
next Governor of Michigan

matured and given a years test

Changed His Mind

They are telling in New York CT a man
who, after putting a large sum into a pub
fishing business, decided that the word
publisher was much overworkod. So he
decided that, inasmuch as it was his bust
ness to make books, he was a bookmaker.
A few days later he met a politician from
up the state who inquired as to his bust
ness.
Il am a bookmaker," said the New
Yorker, proud of the opportunity to say it.
Just the man I'm looking for" said the
politician. Il always like to take a flyer
at the track when down here. What will
you lay against King Hanover?"
The reformer considered deeply for a
moment and then said slowly: 81 am not
a any more; only a plain, every

Just why folks use the goose as a type
OF the foolish is beyond the ken OF the
man who has hunted the wild goose and
has through experience been taught to
respect the acumen of the bird. Old hunt
ers aver that the wild goose is the wariest
of all water fowl, and prepare for his en-
compassment accordingly. To begin with,
the goose is an extremely shy bird In his
natural condition and shuns the haunts Of
man. In migrating the goose likes to stop
for a rest in the long flight from winter
quarters in the south to breeding grounds in
the north, and the rivers and lakes OF Ne
braska afford natural advantages for this
stop. Lakes, ponds and marshy places
near grain or corn fields are visited spring
and fall by great nocks OF geese. and the
hunters at these seasons are rewarded, II
rewarded at all, with good bags. The
goose is a very swift flyer, twenty-five to
eighty miles an hour being an ordinary
gait. In addition, the birds fly high,
usually from a mile and a half to two miles,
so that they are well out OF range OF gun
shot. The leader is an experienced bird,
his position at the head of the flight being
determined by his wisdom and prowess.

scans the earth for signs of man. and the

CONTAGIOUS Keratitis In Cattle.

The Veterinary Department of the
Washington Agricultural College has re-
ceived during the past few weeks numer-
GUS reports form Douglas, Lincoln, Whit
man and Walla Walla counties, relative
to peculiar disease affecting the eyes of
cattle, in some cases the affection being
so serious that it resulted in the destruc-
ton of the eyesight.
Investigations made to determine the
nature of the disease show it to be iden-
tical with Contagious Keratitis-Contag
ious Opthalmia-which has been OBJ
served in the middle eastern states for
some years past.
SYMPTOMS.
The first symptoms noticed is SWELL
ing of the eyelids and flow of tears
over the face. The animal will also try
to rub the eye on some object, generally
its front leg, showing the presence Of an
irritation or itching. These premonitory
symptoms are followed by true infiam-
nation of the cornea.
Upon close examination of the eye
it is seen that the disease has its begin
ming in or near the center of the cornea,
the clear part of the eye. Near the GEN.
ter of the cornea there is found small
blister projecting slightly from the rest
of the eye. A little later this blister
breaks, discharing its content, and forms
a ragged-edged ulcer. Toward this ulcer
the bloodvessels radiate, giving very
characteristic appearance to the eye. As
the disease continues, the front OF the
cornea becomes opaque-having scum
over it, due to the dying and passing off
of the outer layers Of the cells forming
the cornea. If the disease assumes a
light form, the ulcer heals leaving scar
that is hardly noticeable after the eye
has cleared. However, if it should be a
severe attack, the ulcer may slough
through the cornea and cause the de-
struction Of the eye.
The period of incubation, the period
that the disease is in the animals system
without the symptoms being visible. is
probably from three to seven days. The
full course of Kerstitis is from three to
six weeks, depending on the severity of
the attack. All cattle, both young and
old, are subject to IT.

To Protect the Lands.

Reasons are not lacking for the belief
that the Interior Department has good
cause for calling a sudden halt upon the
seizure of timber lands in Oregon; and
in Idaho and Washington. too, closer
inspection might not be amiss. The law
is simple enough and the man or wo-
man who cannot conform to it need not
complain when claims are forfeited.
In this part of the country there has
been tendency to easy perjury which
may yet bring trouble to some of the Of
tenders. Every entryman is required
to accompany his application with a
sworn statement which says; "That
do not apply to purchase the land above
decribed on specu alton, but in good
faith to appropriate it to my own exclu-
sive use and benefit, and that have
not, directly or indirectly, made any
agreement or contract, in any way or
manner, with any person or persons
whomsoever, by which the title l may
acquire from the Government of the
United States may insure in whole or in
part to the benefit of any person except
myself" Yet how many of those who
have taken this oath knew at the time
that they had already made an agree
ment, if not indeed contract, for the
sale of the land?
The Government is not moving any
too soon. If timber lands are worth &C.
quiring they are also worth preserving
from dishonest raids.-Spokane Chron-
icle.

TREATMENT.

Isolation, the separation Of the dis
eased animal from the well ones is of
great Importance, and should be prac-
ticed whenever it is practicable.
Treatment has proven quite satisfactory.
If possible, the affected animal should
be placed in the dark as the light is Of
ten painful to the eyes. We would re-
commend the following treatment out of
the many that have come under our OBJ
servation:
Drop into the eye two or three times
every day, morning, noon and night, a
few drops of the following eye-wash:
Zinc Sulphate, one grain.
Morphine Sulphate, three grains.
Water, one ounce.
This wash is slightly astringent, and
also allays the pain.
Or the following may be used
Boracic Acid, fifteen grains.
Morphine Sulphate, three grains.
Water, one ounce.
If the ulcer refuses to heal it may be
stimulated by touching it with sou-
ton of silver nitrate, five grains, to one
ounce of water.
The opacity of the eye will gradually
disappear, but it can be materially hast
ened by the use of three grains potas-
stun iodine to the ounce of water drop
ped into the eye two or three times daily.
To put the medicine into the eye use a
small eye dropper. Place the hand that
holds the dropper firmly against the
head of the animal so that the hand will
follow all of its movements and so pre-
vent any accident of injuring the eye
with the dropper. The medicine should
always be put in at the outer angle of
the eye as the lids commence to close at
this angle and will therefore force the
fluid over the surface of the eye.
This is probably the first time that
this disease has been observed in our
state.

Five Good Reasons.

That the Rio Grande route is the
most popular one between the Pacific
coast and the east, is evidenced by the
fact that the greater per cent of trans
continental travellers use it.
FIRST, the scenic attractions in view
from trains are unequaled in the world.
SECOND, the daily personally con-
Quoted tourist car excursions being es-
pecially adapted for ladies travelling
alone or with children, affords COM
Portable mode of travel at rates within
reach of all.
THIRD, it is the only route between
the east and west passing directly
through Salt Lake City or modern Zion.
FOURTH, the choice of two distinct
routes through the heart of the Rocky
mountains.
FIFTH, three fast through trains daily
between Ogden and Denver equipped
with every modern convenience.
There are many other reasons why
this route is the most comfortable and
enjoyable in the whole country.

CANNOT CRAZE so
MUCH LIVE STOCK
Last Year Too Many Allowed On the
Reserves Reduction Made
by Supt. Shellar.

The secretary of the interior author
lied the grazing of 157, 900 sheep and
$500 cattle and horses on the Rainier
forest reserve, and 10000 sheep and
1000 cattle and horses on the Washing
ton forest reserve during the grazing
season next summer.
The sheep are to be allowed in the
reserves from July l to September % (;
the cattle and horses from June l to
October l. Investigation has shown
that too many sheep were allowed in
these reserves during the past summer,
hence the number of permits is mater
tally reduced.
The sheep in the Washington reserve
must be grazed east and south of Stehe-
kin and west of Lake Chelan. Permits
for grazing will be issued by the secre-
tary of the interior.
The grazing allowance for the Rainier
reserve is made in accordance with the
recommendation made by Superintend-
ent D. B. Shelter in his annual report.
Last year 162, 900 sheep and $500 head
of cattle and horses were permitted to
be grazed on this reserve, but Superin-
tendent Shelter found that the range
was deteriorating under such number.
