FEEDING NEW CORN.
Too Free Use of the Crop in an ymmn-
turr Condition Is sure To
nrrch niNcnsc.

The late condition of the corn crop last
year resulting in so much of itbeiuC soft
and no; in condition to keep doubtless
will cause many to be very short Of old
corn this year. Such a couCition fosters
the heavy feeding of very new corn. We
wish to caution against too free use of
the new crop in an immature condition,
or for that matter after II gets fairly well
riponod up. As all during his time il is
very palatablc and contains sufficient
moisture to make It very easily con-
sumod, the tendency is for an animal to
ovcreat. This is especially true of the
hog, whose ration usually consists more
largely Of concentrates than is the case
with OthS animals. The present price
of corn will doubtless have q very hcue-
fetal effect in this direction. II will hc
much easier to allowance the hog than
1t would be If corn were low In price
This relatively high price of corn will
also simplify the problem by lcssoninG
the objection to the purchase of sulsti-
tute feeds To use as n part Of the ration
Feed the new corn quite sparingly at
first. If necessary to begin while it is in
the milk, or even In the dough stage. II IS
good plan to feed the whole plant and
let them eat what they will of the fodder.
Then Increase tho feed gradually and be
careful to never overfecd. and we believe
you will have gone n long way toward
preventing an outbreak of disease in the
herd.-Prairie Farmer.

The habit of allowing colts to follow
the mars while at work or on the road
should b discouraged. This practice has
been the cause of more trouble and an
noyance than could herein be chroncled.
Many q fine colt has been ruined from
being caught in the drag, lisk harrow or
plow. On the other hand, not few run
aways and smashups have been caused
by the mare fretting on account of the
colt attempting TO follow some strange
team. Whenever taking a mare to the
field or to town leave the colt in some
secure place where it can get exercise
and shade, and the comfort attending
such practice will always be appreciated
when once tried.-Twentieth Century
Farmer.

SEASONABLE HOG NOTES.

Small no" houses are best.
See that the hogs have good shade.
Have the suws in gaining POSITION
when bred.
A hungry pig takes readily to any food
that it is expected that pig will eat.
While a hog never gets too thin to be
lousy, it seems the thinner the blood The
better the lice thrive.
Toa considerable extent the young SOW
proves her future ability by the way she
manages her first litter.
Build up the frame Of the shoat on
clover. bran, shorts and like foods ard
finish for market on corn.
one advantage in having shallow
troughs for feeding is that the sOws will
learn to eat much younger
Always breed from a Thoroughbred
boar of good constitution and vigor. His
vigor should be in excess Of the sows.
Overlooking of sows, musty grain, sour
Ewill, or sudden changes Of food will
cause diarrhoea among the pigs.
The pig that is to be marketed profit
ably at from six to eight months old must
not from any cause be allowed to stop
rowlng.-LivestoCk Journal.

A horse DCIOnging 10 a Missouri man
got lump on It's jaw three years aso
It's owner had veterinary surgeon op-
crate on the animal the other day, and he
took out a hard, smooth substance about
four inches long and an inch wide, re-
sembing awhite stone. Those who have
examined It say It is pctriled corncob.
The commonly accepted theory is that
the horse, While eating, got a cob in its
mouth, which slowly worked its way
into his jaw until it lodged just beneath
the skin. The animal never seemed to
suffer from its presence.

NOT GEORGE MARVIN.
POstofice Inspector Thinks h Man
Is Alexander Moore.

Information will be given to the Federal
grand jury by Postoffice Inspector Fletcher
to the effect that George Marvin, who is
held in Jail on the charge of robbing the
postofice at Michigantown last summer
pending the investigation of the grand
jury, is not George Marvin, but Alexander
Moore, who is wanted in many cities for
various crimes.
The real George Marvin, known to the
Federal authorities, was killed some time
ago by a posse of citizens at Cleveland, o..
after escaping with two confederates from
Garrettsville, o., where they robbed a post
office. One of the confederates was
wounded and the other was captured later.
According to the evidence which Mr..
Fletcher has gathered, Moore had just fin
ished a three-year sentence in the peniten-
tiary at Columbus. o., for a postoftice rob
berry when he m the crime for
which he is now held. Moore was found
last summer by section hands of the Chi
cago southeastern Railroad badly injured
from an explosion of a bottle of nitrogly-
cerin which he had been carrying in his
pocket, and turned over to the Federal
authorities.

AYHAVEBEEN MURDERED
BODY OF GUsTAvE CARLSON FOUND
NEAR GENEVA, ILL
He Had Been Employed in This City
as a TaiIOr-Marks ON Body In
dicated Foul Play.

The body of Gustave Carlson, a tailor
of this city with a shop in the Hubbard
block. was found in Fox river near the
town of Geneva, ILL.,, yesterday evening.
and the marks upon it indicated that he
was murdered.
Little is known of his life. He was forty
years of age and a native of Sweden,
where he served in the militia for a num-
Der of years. He came to this country
about six years ago and located in New
York, where he lived until about two years
ago, when he came to this city and took a
room at els North Illinois street. He left
the boarding house about two months ago,
and his whereabouts were unknown until
his body was found last night.
While in this city he did a great deal of
the tailoring for A. j. Treat & Son, Is
North Pennsylvania street, and made very
good wages, but, being a heavy drinker,
he spent all his money in dissipation. He
was of a very jovial disposition and had
many friends, most of whom, however,
were among his native countrymen, a num-
Der living in the vicinity of where he
rOOmed.

The death OF s. NJ. Houston, a. pioneer
citizen OF Irvington and a minister widely
Known in the Christian Church, occurred
yesterday morning about 5 o'clock at his
hcme on Emerson avenue, Irvington. Mr..
Houston had not enjoyed good health for
the past few years. but not until about two
waeks ago did his illness become acute.
Ha was the the victim OF uraemic poison

CONDITIONS AT FONTANET.
Secretary Hurry Called There by Ru-
mOrs of Smallpox.

Secretary Hurry, of the State Board of
Health, spent yesterday at Fontanet, a lit
tie mining town in the eastern part of Vigo
county, on the line of the Big -Four Rail-
road. He was called there by citizens who
said the town was badly infected with
smallpox. Secretary Hurry found some
wretched conditions existing and proceeded
to declare a rigid quarantine. He learned
that early In October a school of forty
seven pupils at the outskirts of the town
was dismissed with twenty-five cases of
smallpox among the children. The pupils,
of course, carried the disease TO their homes
and as many families have since been af-
ficted. Secretary Hurry found one house,
hold In which there had been ten cases. In
another family four men had smallpox. but
the wife of one of them escaped, having
been v~accinated. Her baby became afflicted
with the disease. In the town there are
perhaps ten severe cases, the others being
of a mild form. The town IS not incorpo-
rated and the county health officer has
taken charge of the quarantine. No one
seems to know how the disease was
brought TO the town. Secretary Hurry
thinks it will not be necessary to enforce
the quarantine further than to keep those
afflicted with the disease in their homes.
The health officers will endeavor to have
everybody vaccinated who has not had the
disease.

PEN DRAWINGS OF LEAVES.
c. p. Smith, n Purdue Student, Makes
Report on Forest Reservation.

C. p. Smith. a former Purdue student,
who was employed by the State to do some
work on the forest reservation last sum-
mer, has completed his study of the plant
life to be found there and has submitted
pen drawings of the leaves and fruit of the
trees to Secretary Freeman. The work
might be called a botanical survey" and
WAS very thorough. Mr.. Smith classified
ALI the different trees and made a scien-
tiic examination of the soil. Among the
timbers on the reservation the white oak
leads with approximately Ill trees TO the
acre. The pen drawing of leaves and the
fruit of the oaks are splendidly executed
and Secretary Freeman says they are the
best of the kind he has even seen. Mr..
Smitb;s report deals almost entirely with
the botanical conditions of the reserva-
tion.

status of Consumers Gas Company.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The outcome of the trustees of the Con-
sumers' Trust is just what might have
been expected. 1 do not see how they
could have done otherwise as things are.
The reelection of a considerable part of
the old board is a just recognition of long
and faithful services without fee or re-
ward, while the omission of some equally
deserving is a wise concession to a popular
and plausible clamor without any reiec-
ton upon the personal or official charac-
tiers of those not reelected. Practically
the whole question is in status quo ante
bellum, with the question, ''What are you
going to do about it?" unanswered, but not
u~nanswerable. The elaborate opinion of
the able attorneys cannot well be contro-
verted. but it wholly omits the underlying
question of all purely because it was not
referred to them. OF course, no person or
persons have any proprietary right in the
property of the company, except the stock
holders, who generously, in the beginning,
began business for the benefit of the peO-
pie or indianapolis In their individual. not
in their corporate. capacity. This gives in
dividuals who are not and never were
stockholders no moral or legal right to
dictate one word as to the MANAGEMENT
of the business. though not a step could be
taken originally towards the supply of
cheap gas without the consent of the city
as a corporation, and on such lines only
as the Council might dictate. And now,
when we have no gas Ito burn" wastefully,
though the Council cannot compel the COM
pany to continue to furnish gas by meas
ure at any price, there is not the slightest
ground for suspicion that the board. as
now constructed. or as it was. would hesi-
tate a minute to sink new wells and to
furnish fuel gas at cost if the Council
would let IL. l do not blame them for not
begging the Council to so amend the char
ter as 10 allow this. Until about two years
ago they were constantly on their knees to
the Counc asking such a change. but
never got a recognition. 1t is very obvious
that the stockholders are in condition not
to fret if the Council, the representatives
of the thousands of nonstockholding bene-
ficiaries, still persist in holding the COM
pany to its original contract. If there is
any plot anywhere TO put the plant into the
hands of a receiver that il may pass into a
corporation that will enjoy the profits of
the business instead of furnishing gas. nat
ural or artificial, at cost, it is the Councils
fault. Possibly the present Council. If
asked to by the Commercial Club, or some
other representative body, will furnish the
necessary relief. They may not be able 20
compel the trustees or the directors TO ac-
cept any offer. but it is fair to assume that
a board of directors that for ten years has
TO, but they certainly will not ask favOrs
again. L. L. SEE.

any cause to believe. You see a result and
call IL a cause. Koch did the same and MADE
a name amongst the thoughtless. His as

men of the world from reasoning. and mas

challenge. and hid himself behind the law

C~arIson's Death a Mystery.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Nov. A murder mystery
which is too deep for the Kane county
authorities has been passed up to the Chi
cago police, with a request that they try
to solve it. With that end in view they
are looking for the remains of Gustav Carl
son, the supposed victim.
A body, supposed TO be that of Carlson,
found in Fox river, near Geneva. The
lungs contained no water, indicating that
the body was thrown into the water after
death. A fracture of the skull suggests
murder, which theory is strengthened by
the fact that part of a watch chain was
found on the river bank. No watch. chain,
nor money was found in the clothing.
The name of an Indianapolis tailor was
found in the coat and the tailor is said
TO have expressed an opinion that the
man was Carlson. Coroner Mead, of Kane
county, is of opinion that Carlson had
wealthy relatives in Chicago.
