Dan is the second victim claimed by

The fight which resulted in Dams

center Of the cage looking at the crowd
which was in front. Dan came up and
jostled against him. Bruno turned upon
him with howl and drove him back
into his corner. But Dan was inquisi-

the offense. Bruno angrily struck him
and then closed. Before the attendants
could pry them apart Dan was dead.
The keeper last night chained Bruno
in one corner of the cage, where he will
not be able to reach his companions.
Formerly there were five bears in the

Mr. Tisdale used some water from the

after, in going about in the inmates

The superintendent went to his room

Hammond at one time was a well-to-

was drawn down tight on his head, and

Sioux City, Sept. 27.-Dr. S. a.
Brown, of Sioux Falls, treasurer of the
Sioux Valley Medical association, ad-
vances the theory that hog cholera
is spread almost altogether by dogs.
He is now issuing public letters to the
farmers of this section, giving this the-
ory and advising them to watch their
CANNES.
Hog cholera, he says in one of these
letters, has cost Iowa and South Dakota
lin times past as much as $30,0O0,0OO a
year. It is now prevalent in Woodbury.

Yards that neither Nebraska nor South

er Of wagon hogs at the yards tells
the Tribune that he has been all over
Woodbury. county, both on the Missouri
bottom and in the hills of the central
part and the cholera has visited all
parts this fall, and is still doing mucf
damage. He tells of one farmer who
lost 125 hogs in ten days from the dis
ease. and many others have sustained
VI
almost as heavy losses.
More than this, he predicts that with
the immense amounts of soft corn to be
fed this winter, cholera will spread In
to sections thus far immune, and that
Nebraska and Dakota counties tribu-
tary to the Sioux City market will suf-
fer from 1t.
In support of his theory that hog
cholera is communicated by dogs. DR..
Brown says:
"My own Investigation has shown me
that the disease is almost invariably
spread by dogs. The farmer who has
no dogs is a rarity, but there Is one
here and there, and he has no cholera
among his hogs. It is well known that
whenever a dog finds a carcass he rolls
upon it so as to get the carrion INFO his
hair. What he does it for is unknown
TO the writer. He goes home with every
hair of his body charged with what
ever contagion the dead animal suf-
fered with. Hog cholera, as you know,
is yirulently contagious after the death
of the animal, and so persistent as to
last at tins for two years. Let one

GrinnelI Farmer Tells Something About
ShingIing Roofs and Economy.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Sept. 27.-Henry Booknau
a farmer living northeast of town who
is known all over this county for his
life Of most rigid economy and fair
results therefrom addresses the follow
ing interesting communication to the
Herald:
"Only a year or so ago there was a
Grinnell man said to me he could not
see how made SO much money. My
reply was there is Profit in Waste. !
know 1T will astonish the people of
Grinnell for me to say that there are
over 100000 wasted annually in the city
of Grinnell by poor shingling. 1t is a
subject to which l have given a great
deal of study for over twenty-fiv years.
MY barn was built the same year that
the union depot in Grinnell was. The
depot roof was patched twice AMI last
spring it was reshingled. My barn
has never been patched and is good yet
and will be for fifteen years to come
The depot will have been shingled twice
before my barn roof leaks. Both build
ings have about the same slope and
We're shingled with the same grade of
shingles and nailed with the same kind
of nails. Some people say the nails
are no good, but how is this? I used
the same kind of three penny wire
nails II had been obliged to shingle
my barn over last spring it would have
cost me $3.50. so you can see there is
profit in waste. The secret is in the
amount of nails used. 1t requires six
or seven pounds of nails to properly
nail down thousand shingles. know
the majority will disagree with me but
il am right nevertheless. Now this
annual waste would pay all the school
taxes besides build all the school houses
and in ten years would have large
surplus. There is profit in waste. The
annual waste in Iowa is very great
800, 100000 will not cover it. Study

Des Moines, Sept. 27.-An important
question relative to the assessment of
1903 was taken up by the executive
council yesterday. This was the mat
ter OF new instructions to assessors.
The new instructions have not been
formulated, but they doubtless will be
at a meeting of the council next Mon
day.
The new instructions will be to call
the attention of the assessors to tho
low assessments on real and personal
property and the need of fixing the as
sessments at 25 per cent of actual val
ue, as the law requires. A very broad
intimation will be given that If the as
sessments are not made more clearly
as the law requires the council will
take the matter into its own hands
when it equaliZes the assessment next
July. Figures before the executive
council at the time the last railroad
assessment was made indicated real
estate was assessed less than a fifth
OF its value and much personal prop
erty escaped. The council hopes that
