Give EN- a Tobacco Bath.

Executive Agent s. H. Ward, of
the new live stock sanitary board, is
preparing to notify township super
visors, farmers and stock shippers
to quarantine Immediately sheep
affected with scab, under penalty of
$25 to $10O or imprisonment from
thirty to ninety days.
DR.. Ward will instruct farmers
and shippers as to the nature of the
disease, it's symptoms, how itspreads
and the treatment. He says that the
entire flock should be dipped in a
solution of tobacco and sulphur,
kept at a temperature of 10 dergees
Fahrenheit. Each animal should
be kept in the dip for two minutes
and the operation should be repeat
ed for ten days. After dipping, the
sheep should be placed in non-in-
fected pens, while the old pens are
thoroughly >disinfected. The in
terror surfaces of the pens should
be whitewashed at least five feet
from, the ground. .,E,.....
1.-The instructions are as. follows:
'All persons and corporations aro
forbidden to transport sheep affected
with, scab from any point outside the
state to any point within the state,
or from place to place within the
state, except upon permission in
writing from the state live stock
sanitary board.
"Animals that may be reasonably
supposed to be affected with sheep
scab shall not be allowed to enter
any stock yard or other public place
where they may come in contact
with healthy sheep orwhere healthy
sheep are liable to be placed.
'Outbreaks of suspicious skin
disease among sheep must he
quarantined and at once reported to
the board.
"Sheep affected with scab or
which show any inflamed condition
of the skin, and all sheep that have
associated in the same flock with
such sheep, must be included in the
preliminary quarantine.
Quarantine must be continued
until satisfactory evidence is pre-
sented to the board that the quaran-
tined animals are not affected with
sheep scab, or until the entire flock
has been dipped two or more times
with intervals of eight days.
Enclosures wherein sheep affected
with scab have been confined must
be continued in quarantine for at
least eight weeks after such diseased
sheep have been removed"

FAIRMONT'S REST ROOM

AlRMONES = hEOI hOOM%
Fairmont has some very enter
prising women, who are sustaining
a splendid public institution which
tie men of the place have been
backward about supporting. The
instance shows what women can do
in matters of public enterprise, and
should prove an inspiration to the
women of other places. The Fair
mont news says: "The business
men Of Fairmont for nearly two
years appeared very anxious to have
rest room It was advocated by
many of the leading business men,
but for one reason and other the
efforts all failed. Then a lady, who
can hardly be called resident, took
hold of the matter, and for one year
has paid the rent. What the Busi-
ness Men g Club could not do was
accomplished by one slender women.
On June 4th her contract expired,
and again the men failed and the
women came to the rescue. The
W. C.. T. u. took hold of the matter
and have paid a month g rent SIS. so
and are paying $12 per month for a
matron to take charge Of the room.
It strikes us that tho lords of crea-
tion should take a back seat when it
comes to a question of public spirit -

the statistics required and number

June l, 1908.
/ c. T. Tupper, Esq, ,~
Werthington, MINI.
=, Dear Sir: Responding to your
communication on behalf of Worth
mgton. If the city agrees by
resolution of council to maintain a
free pubic library at cost Of not less
than One Thousand Dollars a year,
and provide suitable site for the
building, Mr. Carnegie will be pleas
ed to furnish Ten Thousand Dollars
to erect Free Public Library
Building for Wortnington.
Respectfully yours,
Jas. Bertram,
P. Secretary.
Meeting was called to meet with
the council informally last Friday
night. Mayer Trip was called to
the chair c. T. Tupper made a
statement of what had been done
and results so far. He estimated
that the small additional levies that
would be necessary would not make
much increase in taxes On a pro-
psrty valued at $4,000; would not
exceed 81. so possibly not more than
$1.0O If an arrangement be made
for the school district to bear part of
the burden the rate in the village
would be less. He thought this
was an opportunity for Worthlng-
ton that should be improved. Read
the ordinance adopted at Luverne to
support u free public library in
the consideration of Mr.. &, Carnegie
furnishing $4,000 for a building.
The matter was further discussed
by Mr.. Town, Senator Shell, Mr..
Tripp, John Ramage, Mr.. Small
wood and other, all agreed that it
was a good thing.
The sentiment being 50 favorable
a permanent organization was
affected by electing E. A. Trip

CARDIFF GIANT STORED IN
BARN,

Dk1AoANs
Boston herald: How are the
mighty fallen. This applies exactly
and accurately to the very prosaic
Cardiff giant, monstrosity of once
debatable origin, which had a career
.of excitement, interest and doubt
that fooled all Of the American
public for a. short time, and which
had it's unique career cut short, but
not till great deal of money had
been made out of the fraud.
After years of triumphal progress
about the country, being exhibited
to thousands Of wondering people,
after causing division. in the
scientific world as to the authentic
ity of the claims as to the monsters
antecedents, the cause Of all this
trouble is now calmly reposing in
very unrolnantic packing case, pro-
tected from the. chilling frosts of
the winter by q loose garb Of coarse
sawdust, in the barn of g we'll
known citizen Of Fitchburg. Indeed,
he has been here for the greater
part of the last twenty-five years or
more, or soon after the Boston
Herald put an end to his ''meteoric'
career by an editorial which pro-
nounced him a fake. =
But here at Fitchburg bis giant
ship is, and few people have known
anything about it. In addition to-
his suit of sawdust there is some
quasi litigation about him that pre-
vents his public participancy in the
events of the early years of the new
century, when a generation is COM
ing to the fore which will some day
want to see him out of curiosity,
if not for the qualification Of scienti- :
tic research. which was in his early
days ruling motive about him.
When the business Of exhibiting
the giant failed, S. S. Lawrence, a
local contractor, was engaged to ,
build shed or addition to- the hotel
in which the giant could be stored.
He did so. Soon afterward Mr.. =.
Lawrence took the giant to his own :
barn and stored it there, and there
it,had been ever since. There was
an agreement as to payment for this
storage, but nothing has been done
abo ut it, so Mr.. Lawrence holds on
to his stone charge, which. he has
had nearly twenty-seven years. i

Cuban Reciprocity Bill Approved. by
the House. ...s~"
Washington, Nov. 2O.-The house
Thursday BY a rising vote of 1896 to q
passed the bill to make effective Gu.
ban reciprocity. Dissenting votes
were about equally divided between
Republicans and Democrats, but there
was no record vote, the minority hav-
ing too few votes to order the yeas
and nays.
The Democrats, under the leadership
OF Mr.. Williams, sought to the last to
secure amendments to the bill in &C.
cordance with the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus but were defeated stead
lily. Mr.. Williams made the final ef-
fort when he tried to have the bill
recommitted to the ways and means
committee with instructions to amend,
but point of order under the special
rule providing for a vote on the bill
without intervening motion was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause
OF the Democratic side when he en-
tertained the appeal from his ruling
made by Mr.. Williams, the speaker
saying he preferred to err, if he erred
at all. in giving the house the right to
express its will. The appeal was ta-
bled by strict party vote.

OVER A SCORE PERISH
ITALIAN WORkMEN CREMATED IN
A FIRE WHICH DESTROYED
SLEEPING QUARTERS.

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 23.-While
more than one hundred Italian railroad
laborers were asleep in a shanty near
Lily, Pa, on the Pennsylvania road,
the building caught fire and before
the foreigners could escape at least
tWenty-seven were burned to death
and a score or more were seriously
injured. The men were employed by
McMenamin & Sums, who had the
contract for the Pennsylvania railroad
improvements between Lily and Port
age. There were 500 on the work, all
Italians, and in the shanty which
burned were LIS of these. The shanty
was about 100 feet long and one story
in height. One end was used for cook
ing and eating, while the men slept
in closely crowded hunks in the other
end. There was only one door at each
END and the windows were few and
small.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove in the east
ern end. The building burned like
finder and the flames were upon the
men before any of them were aroused.
Then began struggle for the outside
and for life. They fought and scram-
bled for the doors and the weaker
were crushed down and trampled on.
Others were roasted to death there.
Those who strove for the door were

They fought and kicked anu among
those who escaped there are many
who bear marks of the fierce strife
which took place. A few got out of
the small windows, minus clothes and
with their bodies cut from broken
glass.
Many Of those who did manage to
get out had their savings OF years in
their trunks, which they left behind
them in the building. Remembering
this as soon as they got outside they
fought just as fiercely to get back A
few succeeded, but for the sake of
their boarded treasure they gave up
their lives. One eyewitness says he
does not believe that a single man of
those who returned succeeded in get
ting out again. In the ruins some Of
the corpses were close beside the
hoped bands of their trunks and
melted gold and silver which had been
kept in these receptacles indicated
that they had fallen and died with
their treasure in their arms
Their bodies were all practically
burned to pieces. An Italian who
looked at them and who knew every
man in the shanty was unable to ider.

Victims Of the Explosion in the Fer.
guson Mine.
Connellsville, Pa, Nov. 23.-Sunday
was sad day in the little mining set
tlement of Ferguson, nestled in the
hills mile and a half above Dunbar
When the books of the company were
consulted to determine the identity of
the dead and injured in Saturday
nights explosion in the Ferguson
mine, it was found there were twenty.
one men in the mine at the time of
the explosion. Ten bodies were taken
from the mine Saturday night; of the
ten injured one died Sunday and one
man is missing whose body is suppos-
ed to be still in the mine.
All day long the trolley cars have
been crowded with curious people 20
Ing to and from the scene of the disas-
ter.
Coroner Arthur Hagan of Uniontown
went to Ferguson early Sunday and
viewed the bodies as they lay in the
blacksmith shop and summoned jury
OF inquest. Coroner Hagan says he
will not hold the inquest until some of
the injured men at the hospital re-
cover. Strange to say only one of the
bodies at the morgue was disigured.
All the others were in good condition
and scarcely a scratch could be found
on them, indicating that death was
due to suffocation.
The officials declare that no fire
exists in the mine, but it is believed
the fire is burning further back than
where the explosion actually occurred.
The disaster is said to have been
caused by gas accommodating in an un-
used portion of the mine and igniting
from a fire burning in an old mine.
