STELLA JOHNSON'S ARREST.
The Girl Was I'm Serious Condition
from Taking Morphine.

Stella johnson was arrested yesterday at
326 West Chesapeake street for drunken
ness. Although that was the charge, she
was found in serious condition, the result
of large dose of morphine. She had OBJ
tanned 20 cents worth of the drug from an
east side drug store and had gone to "a
South Missouri street presumably to end
her life by means of the drug. but after
taking the morphine she returned to the
house on Chesapeake street and was found
there by Drs. Cunningham and Sheek, OF
the City Dispensary, who finally revived her
and then had her arrested on the charge of
drunkenness.
Stella johnson is the daughter of once
well-known family of this city, who moved
away several years ago on account or the
wild ways and bad reputation of the girl.
The girl has since led a wild and reckless
life about the city.
The doctors of the City Dispensary have
had so many cases of attempts at suicide by
means of drugs this summer that they have
adopted a new plan of arresting every per
son found in a drugged condition.

Margaret Harmon, Weak of Mind, Has
Many Vagaries.


Margaret Harmon was arrested yester-
day and placed in the care of the police
matron insanity charge
She is young woman, twenty-four years
of age and has been well educated. Dur
ing her life she has held several good posi-
tons which she was compelled to give up
on account of her peculiarities. She
imagines there is band of conspirators
following her wherever she goes and
wanders from one place to another in the
hope of getting away from her foes.
For several nights she has beeen sleep
ing on benches at the Union Station and
all last week slept out under the trees of
Military Park She is unable to remain
in any one place for any length of time,
she says, because her prosecutors will be
after her. DIR. Fletcher examined the
young woman yesterday and said she had
evidently been deranged since early child
hood, but the disease had not been very
pronounced until within the last year or
so. She will be placed in an asylum after
an insanity commission acts on her case
to-day.

MAY AWARD PAVING CONTRACT.
Board of Works to Consider Tests of
Paving Oils This Morning.


The results of City Chemist Moffatt's tests
of the paving oils submitted to the Board of
Public Works with the bids of the ]. K.
Cooper Company. of Terre Haute, and the
Hoosier Construction Company, of Indian
apolis, with their bids for the block paving
contract on Ashland avenue, will be taken
under consideration by the board this
morning.
The Ashland-avenue contract may be
awarded this morning. The report that the
board is waiting TO confer with the mayor
before awarding this contract was denied
last night by Harold G. Megrew, chairman
of the board. Mayor Bookwalter said he
has not been notified that the board wishes
to consult with him on this matter if this
is the case. He will not meet with the
board this morning.
The bid Of the Terre Haute Company is
considerably lower than the bid of the
Hoosier Construction Company, and IT is
thought that the contract probably will go
to the former company if the tests of the
city chemist show the oil it proposes to use
to be as good as the oil submitted by the
Indianapolis company. The Ashland avenue
block paving contract has been hanging fire
before the Board of Works for some time

New England Farmer.
The closng-out sale of the Brothertown
herd Of pure-bred Holstein-Friesian cattle
held at Deansboro, n. Y, July 15 was
notable event in the history of dairy cattle
breeding. The sale was made to settle
partnership and the herd itself has been
collected together but two or three years.
To all interested in dairy cattle the sale
was interesting, chiefly because it included
the worlds record butter cows, Sadie Vale
Concordia, 30 pounds 105 ounces and Mer-
cedes Julips Pietertjie, % pounds 81 ounces,
each in seven days, and several represent
atives of their families. Both Of these cows
bore official records, which were made I'M
der me auspices of State experiment sta
ton representatives, who determined the
weight of the milk and butter fat. These
tests are the largest ever scientifically de-
termined and gave great weights TO all rep
resentatives OF the families from which
they sprung. Sadie Vale Concordia was
bred by the late firm of Yeamans & Son,
and 1t would appear from her blood lines
that the great richness and amount of prod
uct was due to a skillful blending of the
blood of America, Concordia and Neither
land Prince, each famous animal IN his
day.
Hon. j. l.. Fitzgerald, of Cortland, n. Y,
at 5000, and added to an already very
superior collection of cattle of this breed.
Her son, Sadie vale Concorola Paul DE
kol, four years old, brought $780, Three
other animals of this family. one three
years old and two yearlings, brought 81, $40,
making total of $40 for the five.
A three-year-old daughter of Mercedes
Julip's Pietertjie was sold 20 Mr.. Gaus, of
Utica, for $3.50, and ten-mOnths-old calf to
Mr.. Fitzgerald at $500, making $3,065 for the
three members of the family.
Sixty-three head were sold for S17,5O0, an
average of $3.50 per head, the highest figure
since the Flush times of the SOS. The three
mature bulls sold at an average OF Lag
and the calves at $11O average. The mature
that averaged $3.50 brought $1O,36O. an av-
erage of 1884. These results are very graft
flying to breeders and indicate the wide de-
mand for and popularity of this great
dairy breed. This point is still further en-
phasized by the fact that of this entire
number of cows less than one-third were
possessed of official records and were sold
simply on their merits as breeding animals.

w. B. Thornton, in Worlds Work.
Farm machinery may some time do work
for us that will be worth 1,000,0oO, 900 year.
Theoretically it is already saving us nearly
three-fourths that sum; for far back as
1899, if all the crops to which machinery is
adapted could have been planted and gath
cred by hand. they would have cost nearly
100000 600 more than if they had all been
planted and gathered by machinery. 1t has
not only added so much to our wealth, but
il has made us the foremost exporting ma
ton, and il is changing the character of
the farmer by freeing him from monot-
onous hand-toil. More than that, 1t is fast
changing the immemorial conception of ag-
riculture and the pastoral and idyllic asso-
Citations that have gathered about 1t since
the time of Abraham. Wealth. industry,
commerce, the character of men and even
their sentiment are all affected by IL.
Yet so sudden have been these changes
that we have yet hardly caught their
meaning. The cradle-scythe is only a little
more than a century old. and the cast-iron
plow was first used even later than the
cradle-scyfhe In other words, century ago
agricultural machinery was almost as
primitive as il was a thousand years ago.
Now we have steam plows, combined har-
vesters and threshers and auto-mowers.
They have come into use so recently that
only small part of the population have
ever seen them at work. Yet they are
changing our life in all its wide reaches
from commerce to poetry.

Lumpy jaw.

The following bulletin, prepared by A. W.
Biting, veterinarian, has been issued by the
agricultural experiment station Of Purdue
University:
This disease more often affects cattle
than any other animals. 1t is due to a fun
gus sometimes called the ray fungus or
actinomycosis. The fungus occurs upon
grass and other vegetation, and Ii is only
when it becomes introduced into the tissues
from eating and outside sources, and is not
Several animals may become affected while
on the same pasture, but this is due to all
being exposed alike. Some years the num-
Der of cases is greater than others, owing
to the greater development of this fungus.
The disease affects the jaw more often
than other parts, due to the fact that the
tissues are sometimes broken in the act of
chewing and thus permitting infection.
Any part of the body may be attacked.
The disease is comparatively easy to treat
A drachm of iodide of potash is given twice
a day for two weeks to twenty days. For
cattle weighing twelve hundred pounds or
more the dose is somewhat increased, and
lessened for calves. If pus be present in the
lump it should be let out by incision. In a
few refractory cases a second period of
treatment may be required after resting ten
DAYS About so per cent. of recoveries may
be expected. Affected ANIMALS should be
kept away from the healthy and off the
pasture field. In the case of mich cows the
milk should not be used. The State does
not pay for such animals when it Is found
necessary to destroy them
