Swamp Fever.

Al disease known. as swamp
fever" is prevalent throughout the
.4elley and several cases have been
reported in Kittson county, which
farm horses at q rate that
has caused the state live stock sani-
tary board to devote close attention
to the subject. The epidemic origi-
mated in Manitoba, several years
ago.. and spread to the Red River
valley, since which time cases have
occurred in most of the counties.
The manifestatins of this horse
sickness are peculiar, and the dis
ease is invariably fatal after an at
tack of from four to eight weeks.
The affected animal becomes highly
feverish and develops a voracious
appetite, maintaining this voracity
thruout the period of sickness and
at the same time constantly los
ing flesh until it becomes too weak
to stand. - Hallock News.

Wife Leaves Husband.

The wife of A.. P. Nordlnnd, Of
Bloomwood and Vega, at both Of
which places he conducts stores,
left her husband a week ago last
Saturday with $no intention, evil
IDENTIFY, Of returning home. With
her husbands knowledge and con-
sent she went with two neighbors
to Grand Forks for the purpose Of
consulting Dr.. "A. A. Westeen, as
her health has not been good.
Meeting the men with whom she
came to town with later in the day
she stated that the doctor9had ad-
vised her to stay Tor treatment
several days. When several days
had elapsed and no word was re-
ceived from her Mr.. Nordlund went
to Grand Forks 70 look for his wife
Before going he had ortained by
telephone that she hs n0E been 81
the Doctors Office. The only trace
he could find of her was at the
Columbia hotel where from her
handwriting he could tell that she
had registered there Saturday night
as Miss Cora Nystrom. From there
she had gone to the Great Northern
station Sunday morning and that
was the last trace he could get.
Returning home Mr.. Nordlund was
surprised to find q letter from her
written from Winnipeg asking him
to tell her relatives that she was
alive and needed to have no fears on
that score. Mr.. Nordlund at once
went to Winnipeg and by the aid Of
detective succeeded in finding the
place where she was staying and
employed as a domestic. The family
where she was working, however,
refused to admit Mr.. Nordlund to
the house and he had to returnwith-
out having q chance 10 talk to her. !,
Mr.. Nordlund claims that their
home life was pleasant and agree
able and he is unable to, understand
why she should leave him. The
only theory he can give is that her
mind has become affected temporar-
lily. They were married last Christ

/ know a sweet and lovely maid,
The southland is her home;
And there long to dwell with her,
And never, never roam..
She wears white and fragrantcnown
Of rich magnolia flowers,
Each giIded with the morning sun
And gemmed with evening. flowers
She browns the hoe-cakp to- q turn,
And picks the cotton snow;
And trains the peaches on the wall,
And makes the melons grow;
And when the dews begim to, fall,
And the stars are out above,
She plays the banjo on the door,
And sings song Of love.
Father Of Waters deep and wide,
Impatient to be free;
A mighty river at her feet,
Goes rolling to- the sea.
And where DeSoto only saw,
Dark woods on either side,
Tall towers and fields Of waving
green,
Are mirrored i'm the tide.
Oh! Mississippi! All my heart
Is way down south with you;
For who can know your countless
charms
Nor be forever true;
And though my feet may wander fan
On many foreign shore,
And other states may seek to please
Yet I but love you more.
