Webster City, Aug 27.-In and about
Kamrar the swine herds are suffering
a scourge of the dreaded disease, choi-
era. During the past few weeks thous-
ands of dollars worth OF hogs have
succumbed to the disease. While hoS
cholera has been prevalent in other
wears. not for some time past has the
disease spread to so many different
farms and done so much destructive
work. as has been noted during the
last several weeks.
Out of fine lot of hogs belong
irg to Alex Groves of this city, Kept
or his farm southeast of kamrar.
neary 400 hogs have succumbed TO
cholera in little over two weeks.
In this herd were nearly 435 hogs,
some small, some ready for market
and others being kept for brood
sows. Each day during the past two
weeks at least a score have dled,
while as many more have contracted
the disease over night 1t is stated by
Mr.. Groves that while they are dong
everything possible. they have been
unable to obtain any remedy to stop
or check the onslaught of the cholera.
Yesterday only forty out of the herd OF
435 were left. and 1t is probable that
within the next few days the balance
will have died.
At this particular place many PEE
culiar characteristics of the disease
have been noticeable The cholera
affects one hog differently than an
other. altho in the same pen. For
instance some of those effected have
simply appeared to be drowsy, while
others would lose their sight; still
others would be infested with mag
gots and holes to the depth of an
inch or two would be eaten into the
flesh There. are many other pecul-
iarities of cholera that render the dis
ease perpexing and no remedy has yet
been discovered which will kill the
cholera germs.
Not far from the Groves farm, in
herd belonging to Mrs. j. Borban
sixty out of 100 hogs have died and
the remaining forty now have the dis
ease 1t is also reported that at the
Lars Hendricks and II. Iverson farms,
as well as many other places in the
vicinity of kamrar, large losses are
occurring from hog cholera.

Pocahontas, Aug. 27.-The surveying
party, consisting of some twelve Per
sons, engaged in the preliminary sur
vey of the Spirit Lake, Emmetsbucg
and Fort Dodge interurban railway,
are In town. AS surveyed, the new
railway will come into this town from
the southeast and will run north along
First East street to a point east Of
the court house square. They were
accompanied by NJ. Hooker Miller, Of
Detroit, who is the promoter of the en-
terprise. Mr.. Miller is very optimistic
declaring that he expected to see grad
ing begin within a few months and a
great deal Of 10 done before freezing
weather. Asked as to the estimated
cost Of the new line, he said:
1.-THE distance from Fort Dodge to
Spirit Lake as we are going, is ITO
miles, over one Of the prettiest farming
countries in the world. Almost the
entire distance is level and we esti-
mate the complete cost Of construction
at something like $4,000 per mile. Will
we have any difficulty III cap1tallzlnS
it? None whatever. Farmers along
the lines and people residing in the
towns will be permitted to subscribe
for as much stock as they want. East
ern capital is ready for US as quick as
we're ready to use it."
Mr.. McCarten, the president and
some Of the directors of the proposed
road. live here, and while not so en-
thusiastic apparently as Mr.. Miller
yet seem to think it is 60
The line is to run straight north
from here to Emmetsburg and north
west from there to Spirit Lake. The
grade and rails will be sufficiently
heavy to carry all kinds of freight and
it is thought 1t will receive great deal
Of patronage during the summer sea-
son, as the lakes to which it will go are
becoming very prominent summer re-
sorts.

Discovered Buried in Sand in Stream
Near Webster City.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Aug. 27.-What Is
probably as interesting find as has
been made in this vicinity for some
time, was the unearthing yesterday
morning Of a fine specimen of an
elk's antlers by Edward Jones, an
employee Of the Ellingson & Mature
butter and egg store. While fishing
in the waters of the Boone river some
distance below the old cement product
factory south of this city, at point
where the water is only some six or
eight inches In DEPTH Jones noticed
the tapering tips of three horns pro-
truding from the water. After an hour
of hard work a large pair Of antlers
with goodly portion of the elk
skull attached was pulled from the
sand, the young man having to dig
about five feet down before he was
able to extract the antlers.
How the horns came to be depos-
tied in the bed Of the river is some
thing Of a mystery.
