Back To The Old Home

Uncle 6. 4. Poage and wife, the
aged parents of Mrs. ]. B. Connrar-
dy, arrived in our city the morning
of July third, to the surprise Of
their many friends. They made the
trip on account ofSthe severe illness
of Uncle Poage's sister, Mrs. Natty
Hamlin, who has suffered so long
and we are sorry to say ia failing
fast. Mr.. Poage has just returned
from the Homecoming, in Lou
isville, Kentucky, where he says he
had the time of his life. He was
Poage; and not satisfied by his trip
to Louisville he went two hundred
miles further on to show his son
the place where he was born, on
the banks of the Ohio River, still
called Poage's Landing. There they
stood in Kentucky and looked over
the Ohio into Virginia and Ohio;
visited the graves of his three
brothers which he found remarka-
bly, well kept; he found number of
relatives stillresidents of Kentucky
and Uncle Poage says he was roy
ally treated by his relatives, the
Poages, and Mr.. Williams, the man
on the old homestead. Although
away from Kentucky for eighty-one
years Mr.. Poage had described the
old home as they found it on their
arrival. He says he saw beautiful
fields of wheat ready for the har-
vest but for corn he found no place
ahead of old Audubon county. Mrs.
Connrardy went to Atlantic to meet
her parents.

TYPHOID FEVER.
Sources of This Dangerous and Pro-
tracted Disease.

Although there is always more or
less typhoid fever in most of the larger
cities of this country, the late summer
and autumn are the seasons when 1t is
most to be feared.
The disease is not so formidable, as
regards the mortality, as some others,
but its great length and the evil conse-
quences which sometimes follow it in
the form of weak heart, weak spine or
nervous disorders make it quite as Sc
rious as some which are more fatal, but
far less protracted.
Unless one knows how the disease is
usually spread one cannot hope to
avoid it, and so it may be useful to
consider in what ways the germs of
the n,:llady find their way into the sys-
TEN.
Water is the usual vehicle for ty-
phoid germs, as is we'll known, and
probably all great outbreaks of the dis
ease in cities are due to an infected
water supply. This has been strikingly
shown in Philadelphia, where some
parts of the city are supplied with FL
tered water and others with unfiltered
or mixed water. Comparing two parts
of the city in which the conditions, ex-
cept as to water supply, are almost the
same, it was found that in the one sup
piled with filtered water the occurrence
rate of typhoid fever was one in five
thousand, while in the others, in which
the unfiltered water was drunk, it was
one in sixteen hundred
But city with an ideal water sup
ply may be scourged with typhoid
fever, although less severely, through
the medium of impure ice, and it is al
most as important to know where the
ice is cut, or with what water it is
made, if artificial, as where the city
water comes from. Not long since q
number Of officers on one of the United
States ships in the Mediterranean
squadron were taken down with ty-
phoid fever. When the source of the
infection was traced it was found to be
some ice bought at Athens, the ice ma
chine on shipboard having broken
down.
Another source of infection is found
in oysters that have been fattened in
streams contaminated with sewage.
Not only has typhoid followed the eat
ing Of these fish, but the typhoid bacilli
have been found in the stomachs Of the
oysters.
Raw vegetables used for salads may
have been grown in soil contaminated
with Stops used as fertilizers or may
have been washed in infected water.
Unless a water supply is above sus-
picion all that used for drinking, tooth
cleaning and in the kitchen should be
boiled and the drinking water cooled
by putting vessels containing it on the
ice, not by putting ice in the water it.
self.
Finally, great care should be taken
to screen all food from flies. for If
there is case of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributors of the poison

Extras Prize Band

Because it rained on July Four
and spoiled the celebration at Au.
dubon the business men and citi-
zens of that lively berg decided
that they would hold a postponed
celebration on Saturday, of this
week to work off that elegant die
play of fireworks and let loose some
OF that pent up enthusiasm the rain
storm had put a dampor upon.
thursday uight the telephone line
between Extra and Audubon "Was
busy" and the result was that the
Extra Concert Band has been hired
to furnish music for the occasion
and they will go up there and fill
the air with sweet sound, as only
the Extra Concert Band can do.
There will be street vaudeville acts
and everything will be pulled off
the same as would have been had
it not rained on Wednesday. The
gayeties will begin at noon and be
kept up until a late hour at night.
A large number of the admirers of
our band boys will accompany
them to help swell the crowd,

July Fourth.

Rev. Richardson's grafton was an
able effort and the last part of it
should have had a larger attend
ance. The threatening weather
finally resolved itself into a down
pour OF rain and as the shower in
creased 80 his hearers decreased
until the seats were as vacant as
the park was free from stands.
Now let us pull together for the
next year and not celebrate in a
half hearted way again, for the
labor of preparation would be no
more to entertain the five thousand
that usually attend here than it
was to entertain the three thousand
that were here. Why not call a
meeting NOW and electa committee
on amusements for next year.
Then there would be something
doing in Extra 1907.
We move that John 1. Hensley be
chairman of that committee with
power to pick his assistants and
name them right out in print.
Mayor Howard did his part nice

though handicapped by the

demonstrated the fact that al

planned and carried on in Audu-
bon, nine miles away with another
at Brayton only four miles away
and still another at Elk Horn only

that could be comfortably taken
care of were here at one time thru
the day. Again we cay let US start
NOW for the next one and it will be
one of the best Extra has ever seen.

The Word "canntba,ism..

The word "cannibalism" is really the
name of people. 1t is identical with
Carib, many of the Caribs, who for
merly fourished in the West Indies,
having been consumers of human flesh.
The letters 81" IN" and "r" are inter-
changeable in certain aboriginal Ameri-
can languages, so that Columbus found
one West Indian island saying "Cani-
ba" where another said "Carib," while
Shakespeare's Caliban is another va
riety Of the same. Columbus own con-
lecture was that the name was con-
nected with the great khan, and later
philologists Of the old slapdash type as
ISOLATED with "canis," a dog. APP
parently, however, the meaning of
''carib' was brave and daring.

Lightning and it's Terrible Work.

Last Saturday evening, a violent
electric storm passed over Extra
and about half past nine or ten
o'clock there were some particular
iy loud peals of thunder and brill
liant flashes of lightning and dur
ing one of these the lightning
played havoc with j. c. Powell, the
Extra butchers herd of Thorough.
bred Registered Hereford cattle,
by laying five cows and two calves
low in death.
The cattle were in the John D.
Bush pasture, across the road from
the Perry Parrot home, just out.
side the city limits on the north; at
the south end of this pasture are
come large maple trees, beneath
which the dead animals were found.
From all appearances the animals
were eating there at the time that
the fatal bolt fell, as one large fine
cow lay with her head clear thru
the barb wire fence, her front feet
doubled under her and partially
standing on her hind legs, when
we saw her the next morning. The
others lay strung along the fence
only few feet apart
A large tree which stood near
the spot where one of the fine ami
mails laid, plainly showed the eff
fects of the lightning's work upon
it as the bark was pealed up a few
feet from the ground; the barbs
on the barb wire fence were melted,
and things were banged" up quite
badly.
Some of the cows had calves ly-
ing by their sides and it was sad
sight to see so much good stock
lying there dead. They amounted
in valuation to about fifteen hun
dred dollars and Mr.. Powell in
forms us that it will be almost i'm.
possible to replace them.
During the same storm Mr.. Sam
uel McGaffin, good and substan-
tial farmer living three miles south
east of Extra, sustained the loss of
six head of steers by the same
agency; George Egan in Greeley
township, lost one head and Norton
Marietta went out to bury dead
critter, and while there, found one
of his animals lying dead. This is
the extent of the destruction of live
stock up to Monday morning.
