WELSH KIDNAPPED HIS own SON.
ForCbIy Abducted the Boy From the Fairmount

Separated After Quarrel.

and when he was refused he snatched
the boy from her arms and ran.
The rig was standing In front of the
home, and Welsh ran directly to the
buggy and placed the boy in and drove
rapidly away. He evidently went to
Mt. Union and took the west-bound
Stark electric car for Canton. At Mt.
Union he hired a boy to drive the rig
back to the livery barn, and, according
to statements of the boy, Welsh left
towards Canton.
Mrs. Southworth telephoned at once
to Mayor Walker, and as soon as Mr..
Southworth learned of the state of af-
fairs he came to the mayors Office and
swore to an AFFIDAVIT charging Welsh
with kidnapping.
The local officers at once telephoned
to Louisville and Canton and ordered
the mans arrest. officers at Louisville
stopped the car and arrested a man
who was thought to be the one wanted
but he showed that he was not, and
was released.
Nothing further has been heard OF
Welsh, though the officers have made
diligent efforts to locate him.
1t is believed that Welsh hired a
farmer boy to drive his livery rig back
to Alliance, and that he hired some
other farmer to drive him down tc
some of the small towns on the G. &
P, where it is thought he boarded a
freight. His credentials as a detective
would hold him in good stead in an
escapade of this kind and it is thought
that he has successfully evaded all pur'
suit.
His experience as railroad detec'
tive evidently was of much assistance
to the man, for his escape was planned
in a clever manner.

THE ANNIVERSARY
OF A CHASTITY DAY
NEW ORLEANS REMEMBERS SEP.
TENDER II, 1873,
When 1870 Deaths From yellow Fever
Were Reported-No Deaths Yes
terday from the Scourge.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 1.-THE re-
port of the yellow fever situation for
the "a hours ending at 6 p. m. Monday
is as follows: New cases, 3S; deaths,
none; new localities of infection, 1S.
DR.. Charles Chassignac, president of
the New Orleans polytechnic, and one of
the most successful practitioners here,
has given up his extensive practice,
amounting to $4,000 per annum, TO
take charge of the yellow fever situa-
tion at Tallulah, La, as a volunteer
worker. The people of that place are
demoralized over the discovery of
scores of new cases and several deaths
and are pleading with the state board
for surgeon with years of experience
In yellow fever epidemics.
Because he has not had sufficient eX-
perience in fever conditions, DR.. G.. H.
Tichenor, young but efficient physi-
clan, who Is stationed at Tallulah, was
asked to withdraw. The citizens de-
manded a man of wider experience
and the state board was at loss for a
man u Seuu, WutH LII. CudoSlSldC
abandoned his practice and volun-
teered Three trained yellow fever
nurses arrived at Tallulah this morn
ing.
Today is the anniversary of one OF
the most CHASTITY days in the history OF
New Orleans. On that day in 1878 there
were 1870 deaths reported, and probably
half as many more of which no record
was kept Those who lived through
that awful time shudder even now
when they think of the "black day ol
49," as 1t is still called. From every
corner Of the city the reports rolled in
hour after hour. Men fell dead on
Canal street, in their homes and al
their work. One vast pail of terror and
gloom hung over the stricken city
Today the town is dressed up as II fol
a holiday. Posters hang on every blank
wall announcing the opening of the
theaters, the jubilee festival, bargain
sales at the department stores.

JUST POTATOES
But They Played an important Part
In a Homework Gas Well.

A shrewd trick to befoul a gas well
recently struck near Homework is re-
ported. The operators knew they had
got a rich strike and were purchasers
for the lease. In the place of inform
ing the lessees of their find, they pur-
chased three bushels of potatoes and
drove them down in the tubing and al
lowd them to remain few days before
drilling was resumed.
When the well was uncapped the
odor arising was not the odor of nat
ural gas, and the bargain was soon
closed for the lease owned upon the
farm. The well is now one of the big
producers in the Homework oil field
and the potatoes were the means Of
making the purchase.

Butcher Hogs.

Butcher hogs as a class are
principally barrows. Other things
being equal, barrows sell more
readily and at better prices than do
sows. In drove Of butcher hogs
there may be present few good sOws
without detracting from the value OF
the drove. Good young sows, as a
rule, are kept on the farm for breed
ing purposes, and poor young sows and
old sows will not take on the finish
required in the butcher hog class.
Butcher hogs are usually used for the
fresh meat trade. About Is per cent
Of the hogs coming to the Chicago
market are Of this class. They range
in age from about six months for the
light butchers to one year for the
heavy butchers. The class of butcher
hogs is divided into three subclasses,
as follows: Heavy butchers, ESQ to $50
pounds; medium butchers, 220 to ESQ
pounds; light butchers, $50 to 220
pounds William Dietrich.

Tuberculosis in Cattle.

While tuberculosis has been extern
sively studied, there are many things
about it still not understood. One or
these is the effect of tuberculin When
this was first introduced by DR.. Koch,
it was believed that it would be a
remedy as well as a diagnosis agent.
Great hopes were built upon 1t, and
the enthusiasts predicted that tuber-
culosis would soon be banished from
the world. People were not long IN
discovering, however, that 1t appar-
entity has no remedial value, but that
it was most certain means OF finding
out whether an animal of the bovine
race had tuberculosis or not. 1t has
now been in use for a great many
years, and has become one OF the
certain means of finding out about the
development of this scourge. 1t may,
however, be possible that tuberculln
has some remedial value. At the New
Hampshire Experiment station, cows
that had been tested with tuberculln,
found tuberculous and segregated SO
that the test could be watched, later
failed to react to the tuberculin test.
Afterward, when these animals were
killed, it was found that they had
nearly or quite recovered from the
disease.
Some carloads of cattle from Wis
consin were shipped to the Chicago
Stock Yards, and slaughtered. An eX-
animation of their carcasses showed
that they had once had tuberculosis
and had recovered. These two in
stances of the recovery Of tuberculous
cattle holds out a hope to farmers
that ways will yet be discovered OF
eradicating the disease by means OF
methods of care and by medicine
