ealE,s PETTY GRAFT.

An illustration Of the manner IN
which petty gratis creep into public at
fairs was given at Des Moines this
week. The republi ,an caucus Of serla-
tors had been held and In addition to
agreeing upon a set of officers for the
/ senate, it was agreed to allow three
& clerks at large to democratic members
4 who would not receive committee chair
nknships. There were fourteen DEM
l6cratic members. -FOUR of them in the
natural course Of events would each re-
ceive "a Craftsmanship of "a committee
which would carry with it a committee
clerk. - the republican members,
each havinea committee Craftsmanship.
u would be provided with committee
clerks. It was decided to allow three
clerks at large to do ther private corr
4 respordence of the ten democratic
4 members not provided with committee
/ chairmanships or clerks.
AS soon as the serlate was organized
I "a standpat senator by the name OF
Gale, from Cerro Gordo county, man
whom many Of his associates in the
senate thoroughly despise, because, of
his characteristics, moved that every
senator be allowed clerk on the state
pay roll. The purpose was to cause the
progressive leaders who were in charge
of the caucus agreement to oppose the
motion in the hope that such OPPOSE
ton would line the democrats up
against the whole progressive program.
Gale had been a party to the caucus
agreement, but his obligations rested
lightly.
AS a matter of fact, few members
have sufficient privat, business to need
a clerk Most Of the committees need
clerks to do the running around, book
keeping, and attend to the correspond
ence. altho these Jobs in many cases
are looked upon as snaps. However,
needless as they are, Gale was willing
to tax the state $21 yer day for every
day Of the session by proposing these
seven extra clerks merely as an effort
to put q stick between the spokes of
the progressive prolyram, whatever
that might be. II the senate allows
the seven extra clerks, it will be be-
cause the leaders consider effective
legislation of more imr ortance than the
prevention of a petty graft of this kind

There is young man in Hampton
who sometime ago married a girl be-

the streets, and even stared at the
most striking looking of them. Every

wife passes. The reason is, dear read

Hoo Cholera,


! The prevalence of hog cholera in
various parts of the west, and the re-
| sultant very heavy loss, with present
Iprices of hogs, renders recent investi-
cations of this disease by the agricul-
tural department of immediate interest.
To quote from the report of the chief of
the bureau Of animal industry:
I'm the previous annual report the
results Of the experiments concerning
the etiology of hog cholera were brief
| ly described The biochemic division,
in pursuing the work further during
the past fiscal year, has demonstrated
that the filterable virus which has
cause of hog cholera in southwestern
Iowa is also present in outbreaks OF
that disease occurring in eastern Ne
braska, in central Iowa, and In Vir-
ginia. The outbreaks which have been
| studied in these localities possessed
| all of the well known characteristics
| of hog cholera. These experiments
demonstrated that the f1fterable virus
| Is not peculiar to hog cholera as 1t is
found in southwestern Iowa, and they
also indicated that this virus was
widely distributed and probably the ac-
tive causative agent Of all outbreaks
of that disease. A number of expert
ments having for their object the de-
| Termination of the mode OF transmits
sion of the disease, the portal Of entry
of the virus into the hogs body, the
length of life Of the virus outside of
the hogs body and the nature of the
virus ITSELF have been carried out, and
1.-THE results will be published later in
bulletin FORM
The swine growing public will await
the publication Of this bulletin with a
good deal of interest and also the re-
port of the immunity experiments up
on which the department is working
The department is not yet ready to
publish the results of its experiments,
but 1t might be we'll to state that they
embrace the following general princi-
pies:
The injection of the blood of hogs
that are sick with hog cholera into
hogs immune from that disease.
When this immune hog has been filed
up with the disease, his blood is taken
and injected into healthy hogs for the
purpose of rendering them immune,
and for treating those sick with the
cholera.
The department has sufficient conf
dence in its experiments to have taken
out a patent on the process, which,
however, is for sale only in foreign
countries and can be used free by cit
liens of the United States. On this
point we might also say that the de-
partment is experimenting with view
to prevention of hog cholera, and is
lattempting to devotion a breed of hogs
by artificial selection that will have
partial or complete immunity from
hog cholera.

CONNECTS ON ROAD WORK.
(Muscatine Jollrna11

One of the suggestions that is made
in the interest of good roads is that
convict labor be utilized in building
roads instead of employing it in that
line of manufacture which comes In
direct competition with free labor. That
might work all right in the vicinity
where the prisoners are located, but
how would 1T work in other parts Of
the state? Working convicts a hum
bred miles from their base Of supplies
would be rather a risky business.

Rain and Snow.

We have had more snow this season
than was ever known in jackson be-
fore. Two heavy snowfalIs within a
week is something unprecedented in
this section. Indeed for the previous
i've years there has not been enough
snow fallen at any time to cover the
ground with white mantle for an
hour. Last Sunday another genuine
snowstorm set in early in the morn
ing, and continued with slight inter-
missions until Monday night. Thirty
hours of almost steady snowfall
marks this year in class by itself.
The snow was light, but the weather
was cold enough for 1t to remain
frozen. M onday morning there was
4 inches on the level. The storm was
broken Monday evening, and Tuesday
under the warmth of old sol the
t1eecy covering rapidly dissolved. 1t
was not until Thursday night that the
snow had partially disappeared from
the roofs, and for several days more
1t is likely to remain in patches on
the sheltered hillsides. Not for many
years have we witnessed such a
wintery Eastern appearance as this
storm presented.
The rainfall during the past week
including snow, is as follows:

Athletic Club Entertainment.

The jackson Social and Athletic
Club gave dramatic entertainment
last Saturday evening in Loves hall;
presenting the drama of 'Tony the
Convict. The characters we're made
up exclusively of local amateurs,
mostly membe of the club. At
great expense, the preparations for
this affair we're made in securing
costumes and other paraphernalia.
The evening proved tempestuous and
cold, and this had the effect of keen
ing many away, who would doubtless
have been present. The play was we'll
sustained, all the performers taking
their parts creditabIy. Ihe financial
outcome was not as satisfactory as
was expected, the receipts about
balancing the expense. A social
dance was given after the play.
The club has partioned off a passage
way in Webb hall this week, so that
they will have exclusive quarters for
their exercises and meetings here
after. They have also put in electric
lights, and are putting their different
paraphernalia in place for active
work.

The New Naturalization Laws.

The first application in this county
for full papers of citizenship under
the new federal law passed by the last
congress, was made last Tuesday
before the county clerk. The appli-
cant Is Andrea Cometto, a native of
Italy. The petitioner has to give the
place and date of birth. age, when
he came to the United States. In
this case the birthplace is given as
st. Antonio, Italy, and date May II,
1873. He has been in the United
States since December, 1899. Two
witnesses, William lam and John
Davltto made affidavit that they have
known petitioner tor at least five
years, and that he is attached to the
principle of this government, and
has the qualifications of a good
citizen. This is simply the pre-.
llminary step in the direction of be-
coming citizen. The petition will
remain on file, and at the expiration
of not less than 80 days from the
filing thereof. the case will be heard
in open court; and the application
will be put through a rigid examina-
tion touching his qualifications to
become citizen. Moreover under
the law the county clerk is required
to report monthly to the authorities
at Washington, all proceedings ID
naturalization under this law, and
also to send a quarterly statement of
the business transacted in this line.

Strike at Central Eureka.

Asminers strike was inaugurated a
the Central Eureka, Sutter Greek, Oh
Friday and Saturday last, resulting
in the suspension of all underground
work at this mine. There are differ
ent versions of the origin of the
trouble. The employees have theiI
side of the story, which presents the
case in Its most favorable light fol
them. On the other hand the manage
ment's explanation gives another
phase, which is not so creditable fo1
the miners.
1t seems the trouble started with
the engineers, over the bell wires
getting out of order which in spite
of all precautions they are apt to do
occasionally. The signal wires IN
one compartment got out OF repair.
The signal had been given for engineer
to hoist. The engineer was ordered
to hoist by superintendent, j. K.
Thomas After some talk the
engineer left his post, without hoist
ing the men. Inc other engineer
appeared and made some conditions
concerning going to work, which the
superintendent refused to concede,
and he too quit. The next day,
Saturday, the president and walking
delegate of the Sutter Union appear
ed, and stated that the miners should
not be allowed to go to work, whether
on account of the bell wire being out
of condition, or because the old
engineers were not taken back, we
do not know. 1t is claimed that the
question of strike was not submitted
to the members of the miners union
as body, but that those engaged at
the Central Eurkea only were con-
suited.
They all walked cut, however. Re-
presentatives of the union made them
selves over -otticious, and were ordered
off the mine premises by the superin-
tendent on two occasions.
The superintendent lost no time in
having the disabled bell signal put
in working order. On Wednesday,
so we are informed, the miners
union sent a committee of one to
wait upon Mr. Thomas, and inform
him that the men we're prepared to
go to work. if thu bell wire was fixed.
This had already been done. Mr.
Thomas informed the deputation that
had the men appeared at the usual
time that morning, they could have
gone to work, but as it was he was
about to leave for the city, and that
they would have to postpone going
to work until he got back. The
trouble will no doubt be Strengthened
out in day or so, as soon as super
intendent Thomas returns from San
Francisco, whether he went to con-
suit with the other officers of the
