Cromwell.

On the morning of the 1st of May, 1887, there occurred an incident that, unnoticed at the time, afterward proved to be one of the turning points of his tory. Eight immigrant ships lay In the Thames ready to sail. A body of pilgrims were about to embark. and Oliver Cromwell and his famous cous- in. John Hampden, were among them. But they were stopped at the landing by guard of soldiers. The king had decreed that his subjects should not leave England. Cromwell stayed. and with him, as Macaulay wrote, stayed the evil genius of the house of Stuart" " Had Cromwell and his friends been al- lowed to carry out their project of em igration the whole history of the Eng fish civil war might have remained un- written.

Too GREAT A RIsK.-In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholery morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk Is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medi- cine in use. It can always be depended upon.

THE VERDICT IS SUSTAINED
Circuit Court Award of $500 to Coal
Co. Employee Will Stand

Decisions have been handed down in
the Supreme court in three cases
appealed from the Circuit court Of this
county, one Of the decisions affirming
the findings Of the lower court and two
being a reversal The judgment Of
$4,000 awarded in Circuit court to Leo
Revolinski against the Adams Coal Co.
for injuries which the plaintiff suffered
while in the employ Of the Coal Co. will
stand, the higher court having held that
the verdict of the jury was just. In
the Hecker-V Vogt case, brought by Her
man Vogt, carpenter contractor Of
Newton, to collect $65 claimed on a
contract for building barn for Chas.
Hecker, farmer OF the same town,
the verdict was modified and reversed.
The original contract was for 1925 but
when the building was half construct
ed it was demolished by wind storm
and Vogt demanded the additional $65
for the extra work. In Circuit court
the claim made was allowed, together
with the original amount of the con-
tract but the Supreme cour. refuses to
sustain the $65 claim, giving Vogt only
$125.
The most important of the appealed
cases Is that Of II. Stole vs. Thos.
Torrison and it is referred to Circuit
court for trial. The action grows out
Of a dispute over the ownership of land
and a claim for $4,000 damages was
made by Stolze In the complaint. A
demurrer and counter claim was enter
ed by Torrison and sustained by the
lower courts. By the decision now the
finding is reversed ard the case will be
tried on it's merits In Circuit Court.

FARMERS STILL FIGHT DISEASE
HydrOphObia And BlackIeg Causing Loss
Among Their Cattle.

Much alarm Is felt by farmers of the
county over the continued loss of cattle
from disease that made its appearance
month ago and which it has been i'm
possible to check In the town of Two
Rivers the spread Of the disease is re-
ported and an urgent appeal has been
made to the state veterinarian to inves-
tigate the conditions and assist to save
the farmers from further loss. On the
farm of Ernst Vogeltanz five valuable
animals have died during the past three
weeks and others are afflicted with the
disease. The last loss on the Vtgeltanz
farm occurred Sunday and the owner Of
the cattle fears that the entile herd may
be affected. While it is thought that
the disease Is hydrophobia and the
symptoms seem to bear this out, the ma
ture of it has not been definitely deter
mined. One peculiar phase is that the
disease does not appear to he directly
contagious but Is fata. within few
hours after the animal is stricken. AL
though the matter has been reported to
the state authorities no action has yet
been taken and another appeal was
made this week. The first appearance
of the disease was Immediately after a
mad dog had run amuck on the Vogel-
tanz farm and this supports the belief
that it is hydrophobia.
Blackleg has made its appearance
among cattle in the western section Of
the county within the past two weeks
and is causing much anxiety to owners
Local veterinaries who are in charge of
the cases are taking every precaution,
but 1t Is reported that there has been an
alarming spread Of the disease.
