Over in Page county in the vicinity of
Blanchard, hogs are dying by the score.
The disease with which they are afflict-
ed is something new and puzzling to the.
veterinaries and medicine manufac-
lures. Some of the farmers claim it
is just plain cholera, but the many
cholera preparations fail to bring relief
and the swine continue to die. In no.
ticing the effects of the disease, it is
said the hogs just decline to eat and
gradually become weaker, until death
comes sort of a starvation. Down in
around Tarkio, Mo-, hog raisers are pill
ing up the dead hogs, saturating them
with kerosene and burning them by the
score. Many farmers are losing whole
herds. In every instance the disease
has proven very contagious and should
it long continue southwestern Iowa will
be inoculated with the disease germs
causing the deadly peril to spread
throughout the entire district.

The Pear Tree Man.

On Wednesday afternoon VIM.
Maneeley of Whitebreast township
came to Charlton and filed an informa-
ton before Justice Storie, charging
Des Moines fruit tree man with swind-
ling him. A warrant was issued and
the gentleman was soon ushered into
the presence of the court, and on failure
to give bond, was turned over to the
sheriff until he could do so. Mr..
Maneeley had copy of the contract
which he had signed. At the top print
ed in fine print was this agreement,
"All claims that Misrepresentation
were used to get the contract signed
are waived, and in case the order is
cancelled, the farmer must pay the
nursery man sixty per cent Of the face
Of the contract. On the back was an
agreement by the salesman to plant,
trim and replace for period Of three
years, and he was to get one-half of the
third years crop, and to pay the farmer
two dollars per bushel for his share.
On the face of the contract written
plainly Mr.. Maneeley agrees to pay
two hundred and seventeen dollars for
the pear orchard. f. o. B. Des Mones.
He is now in Jail, not being able to

legislative session, which promises to

ROTTENNESS IN
 CITY CONTRACTS
A MAN DISMISSED BY MAYOR WEAVER IS ARRESTED AND PLACED UNDER $1o,ooo BOND TO APPEAR IN COURT TODAY.

Philadelphia, June 20.-The arrest of John W. Hill. who resigned last week as chief of the bureau of filtration on the charge of forgery and falslfying cer- tain books and papers belonging to the city and the annulment of $700,000 con tracts held by D. J. McNichol & Co.,. were the dramatic developments today in PhiladelphIas sensational political up heaval. Hill entered bail in the sum of $l0,000 for a hearing tomorrow. The war rant charges Hill with having committed forgery, in that he made or caused to be made a statement giving q false estimate for the work done by the firm of D. J. McNichol on the filtration plants and with falslfying certain books and papers of the city for the purpose of defrauding the city.
 The revoking of the $7OO.O0O contract held by D. J. McNichol & Co caused consternation in political circles. In re- vokng the contract the mayor notified the director of public works to take steps immediately to advertise for bids for the work and material remaining to be done and supplied. Up to date S213 Ar has been paid for work done.
 The McNichol firm has had contracts for about two-thirds of the work in con structing the filtration system. So far the system has cost the city upwards of S22- 100000, and 1t is estimated that 1t will cost about F,000,000 more to complete the work

TURBULENT SCENES

A GREAT CROWD OF YOUNG CU- BANS RUSHED INTO THE PRO- CEssIoN AND INSISTED ON CAR IRVING REMAINS.

Havana, June 2O.-The body of Gen. Maxine Gomez was inferred this evening, after funeral service replete with demon- strations in honor of the dead hero as told in several instances to scenes of dis order. The most serious trouble occurred while the great procession was passing Central park, when some reckless young Cubans rushed toward the field gun cais- son on which the Generals remains were borne, demanding permission to carry the body. They were thrust back and then a higger crowd rushed forward and swayed back and forth across the broad street temporarily disorganizing the procession.
 At the cemetery there was considerable disorder. The bulk of the crowd was re- strained from passing through the ceme- tery gates until after the arrival of the procession and this resulted in much crowding and pushing and in several sharp scrimmages resulted, however, in only a few bruised heads.
 The procession was the largest since the establishment of the republic In 1t were included the executive and judicial corps of the government, the foreign min isters and the legation and consular staffs. the governors of every province proyin- cial and city officials of Havana. the military, police and firemen, including President Palama all walking with bared reads until the western portion of the city vas reached whence the journey was con tinued by carriages.

VERY GOOD MAN ID
 BE INTIMATE WITH Major Carson Can Aid South
 ern Manufacturers CHINA TRADE
CHINA TRADE
Experts Are Sent Over Who Will Look Into the Building Up of the American Cotton Trade
 In the Orient.

Washington, June 20.--(Special.l l-Cotton manufacturers throughout the south would do well to get in touch with Major John M. Carson, chief of the bureau of manufacturers, department of commerce and labor. A circular letter has been mailed many of them asking for infor- nation along certain lines and prompt answers will, it is believed, result in much benefit to the manufacturers.
 The forthcoming visit of a special agent to China under the direclon of the manu- factnrers' bureau Is the first step In a systematic effort to increase the foreign trade of the United States. The agents who go to the orient will also have in- structions to inquire into the alleged boy colt of American merchandise by the guilds of China.
 Boycott Does Exist.
 That such a boycott exists there is lit tie doubt, and it is expected that the United States agent will be able to ob- tain full information on the subject. Major Carson explained today that China offers a rich field for the southern cotton manufacturer. With it's population in excess of four hundred million and the clothes worn consisting almost entirely of cotton the manufacturer of cotton in the United States ought to be able to secure q big percentage. Major Carson plans to make the bureau of manufac- turers sort of telephone exchange be- tween the foreign consumer and the domestic manufacturer. When the bureau is in good running order the manufactur- CTS here will be able to get exact infor- nation as to what Is wanted in foreign countries while purchasers abroad can obtain by writing the bureau details of what the manufacturer here has to order.
 Will Gather information Abroad.
 The special agents who go abroad next month are expected to furnish informab tion as to the class of goods wanted by the foreigner which will at once result In the manufacturer striving to meet it. In addition it is thought that the visit of the agents will awaken interest abroad and inquiries will be received relative to American made goods.
 It Is for this reasc that the bureau desires that manufact' sefs eivft lts iEfor-i nation relative to the material 9dzsrsti out by them in order that inquiries may be intelligently answered and a corre- spondent abroad may be referred imme- diately to American firms to have his wants supplied. Within a short time 1t is hoped that manufacturers will find it profitable to manufacture directly for the foreign trade instead of being content to simply dispose of their surplus stock as is now the case.
