Oldham is located in one of the
best grain districts of the county.
The Farmers Elevator Co. did a fine
business at first, but there seems to
have been some trouble with the
management of the oncer Sue
cess in that line is only attained by
strict attention to business and a
pretty good knowledge of the game.

What might reasonably be ex-
pected to happen, in view of the cpl.
demic of rabies existing in some
parts Of the Northwest, occurred at
Bryant last week. The Bryant News
gives the following account:
Bryant was all excitement Sunday
over the report that a young yearl.
ing heifer belonging to JAS. Finley
had the rabies. The animal was
surely wild enough to prove the case.
Drs. Gregory and Wellen we're sure
their diagnosis vas right, and Mon
day the city authorities ordered the
animal shot. They also issued an
order Monday noon giving twenty
four hours notice that all dogs found
running at large after that time with
ont a muzzle would be shot. A mum
Der of worthless and ownerless dogs
have been shot. 1t is not believed
there is any serious danger, but it is
best to be on the safe side,
How the disease started at Bryant
seems to be a mystery, but it is very
fortunate for the community that it
started With a heifer, instead of a
dog. When the disease shows up
among the CANNES, with a number
of ownerless and worthless dogs run
ming at large in almost every town,
it can be expected to spread like a
prairie fire in tall grass with a heavy
wind blowing. But it generally
takes bitter experience to teach a
lesson that should be secured by OBJ
