Therefore, it stands us well in hand to
be fervent in spirit, to hold fast what
we have, prospect in new fields for the

w. E. Hampton, chairman of the
committee on manufacturing, reviewed
action taken on various subjects dur
ing the past year, concluding as fol-
lows: "Your committee would recon-
mend that more of an effort be made
in the future to interest prospective

we offer them every inducement pos
sible, and especially to have the COM
mittee on manufactures show them the

ness is desirable; and if so to use their
efforts to bring them together with
capitalists. 1t is not the intention of
this committee to recommend or adj
wise the donations of manufacturing
sites, as we think our city offers attrac-
tions favorable to manufacturers to
locate here without inducements of
this kind. This has been proven by
those who have located here in the
past without any solicitation of finan-
cial inducement.
1--WE think that the advantages OF
our cheap fuel and of our city, If
brought before manufacturers through
out the east more, would induce many
more industries of this kind to locate
with u.s."

removal from the city, voluntary

CHARLOTTESVILLE, va, Feb TO-
j. Samuel McCue, former mayor Of
this city, was hanged in the county Jail
on Sunday, September 4, 1904. McCue
was pronounced dead eight minutes
after the trap had been sprung.
Immediately after the execution Nc
Cues three spiritual advisers gave out
the following signed statement: ~.
Samuel McCue stated this morning in
our presence and requested us to make
public that he did not wish to leave
this world with suspicion resting on
any human being other than himself;
that he alone was responsible for the
deed, impelled to It by an evil power
beyond his control, and that he recog-
nized his sentence as just"
McCue listened calmly to the death
warrant and when Sergeant Rogers
asked: do you think that II l gave
you my arm you would be able to walk
to the scaffold?" He replied calmly:
II can walk without your aid"
On the way he stumbled once or twice
and the officers proffered assistance.
1t was not needed, however. There
was no weakness. McCue had merely
slipped on the frozen snow.
Watched by silent crowd of per-
haps thirty persons McCue mounted
the scaffold. Not a muscle of his face
moved. The prisoner was placed over
the trap, his arms were pinioned and
his ankles strapped. The black gown
was folded around him and the moose
was adjusted. All this while McCue
stood without moving. He did not
utter word. The guard took hold of
the rope that was to release the trap.
Rogers, standing alone on the scaffold
beside McCue, turned his back and
lifted his hand. The trap fell. Nc
Cues neck was broken.

Fish and Typhoid.

The source of an outbreak of
typhoid fever at Alankato, ,.":inn :,
has been decided as due to ind
diligence in eating carp. This conclus-
ion has been reached alter search
ing investigation into the probable
cause of the disease.
For month or more typhoid cases
have been mysteriously appearing at
Mankato, and in less than Il week a
half dozen developed in one small
neighborhood. All of the wells in
vicinity were tested without result.
and the doctors could find none Of
the germs in the usual channels.
Then they learned that their patients,
without single exception, had eaten
carp shortly before being taken i'll.
In several families only one or two
persons were attacked. Invariably
these had eaten the fish, while those
to escape had left it untouched.
The theory of the medicine men
of Mankato is quite likely the real
cause. The carp is the scavenger of
the streams, and is found in greatest
number and largest sizes in the vici-
nifty of sewer outlet. They are
commonly called "sewer inspectors"
and those who have observed their
habits are confident the name truly
describes the tinny freak. There
will be little doubt that the disease
could be communicated according to
the Mankato theory, but there is
wonder how people in a land sup
piled with SO many wholesome and
appetizing articles of food could
ever become hungry enough to make
a meal off carp. If that was the only
avenue of contracting typhoid most
people could be positively assured of
immunity. Carp were undoubtedly
created for purpose, but that they
were intended for food for human
beings seems improbable. Waterloo

, Real Love In A Cottage.

Do you rember that sweet little
love story about Enid Philips, the
wealthy society girl who fell in love
with a street car conductor in Denver
named Seip? The romance hap
pened last year.
Well they are married.
Doubtless when you read the story
you said it was nice romance and
all that. You said it was a young
woman's passing fancy and that love
in a cottage was beautiful in per-
spective but in reality a disillusion.
Either the girl would tire of her
conductor, or if the couple married,
the old folks would do the right, etc.
You were mistaken.
Neither Seip nor the girl would
accept a copper cent from her parents
With his savings Of several years
he bought q little corner grocery store
recently. The arrangement was,
if you remember, they would marry
as soon as he set up in business.
Now they are settled to housekecp-
ing in little cottage near the Seip
grocery store.
And he gets up early in the morn
ing and sweeps out the grocery and
gets his market vegetables on display
for the early customer. He is on a
good corner and has a fine eye for
business. And the girl who has
been waited on all her life gets
breakfast-eggs to order, coffee like
your mother used to make-and
hangs out a signal after the manner
of womankind when it is all ready

Philipps' old friends who, when they
meet, wrinkle their foreheads anc
say they "can never understand

They never will. She married tht
man she loved.
And of course they would reply
ooh, that's oil very we'll, but there
is no call for fine girl like Emo
Philips to marry a man beneath
her."
And if the happy young woman
could hear the criticism how sh,
would laugh. Beneath her? VIII.

Until it reached its final stages it is
not possible to detect it either in
hogs OF cattle by the outward appear
ance. The affected animals are
quite as healthy and vigorous to all
outward appearance as those that
are perfectly sound. They may CON
tinne in this way for years, and,
again, generalized tuberculosis may
appear and the animal go to pieces
IN a very short time. Weare sorry
to see this development of tuber-
culosis in hogs, but il it calls atten-
ton once more to the danger of
tuberculosis in cattle and the absolute
necessity of getting rid of this dis
ease as quickly and with as little
expense as possible. it is matter
not to be regretted.
In conclusion, as the preachers
say, tuberculosis is a stable disease,
and is not readily communicable in
the open air nor in properly venti-
lated stables. lf the stable is not
properly ventilated, one diseased ami
NAL will in time affect the whole
herd. Hogs do not readily take the
disease unless fed on tuberculous
milk.
What is knownas the BangmethoG
enables the farmer to rid himself of
the disease in course of time with
out any serious loss. In the case of
well bred cattle tuberculous cattle
can be bred proftably, if the calves
are fed on healthy milk, and there
is very little danger of infection
with tuberculous dams, when the
calves are allowed to run with them
during the summer on pasture.
tuberculosis is not, strictly speak
ing, hereditary either in man or beast,
although weak constitution which
renders it liable to take the disease
is hereditary, tuberculosis in man
is a house disease, and stable dis
ease in beast; and the only good
remedy in either case is good nu-
tritious food and pure air. Hogs
seem to be more susceptible to the
disease through milk than even
are calves.-Wallace Farmer.
