This amount might be increased
by the value of the skinned milk,
which at the rate of 20 cents per
hundred pounds would amount to

throughout the state are estimated
to be worth about S3,OOO,OOO.
while the department officials
were we'll aware of the steady
growth of the dairy interests of the
state no such comparison of values
had been made heretofore, and when
the figures were compiled, they
showed the importance of the dairy
business to the state to be much
larger than had been supposed. The

was so terribly burned about his
face, hands and body, as to render
him unconscious.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke were
quite seriously injured by the fire
and are under the care of physi-

The two younger children, who
were SO heroically rescued by their

The dense smoke and heat from
the fire awakened the three children.
Clifford nimbly sprang out of bed
and grabbing his brother dropped
him from the second story window,
following the act moment later
by also letting mis- little sister down
to the ground in safety.
The smoke was so dense that the
young hero was overcome before he
could make his own escape and he
sank back into the burning building
and persisted in the flames.
Mrs. Cook, who also occupied a
room on the second floor of the
house, jumped through the window
from the upper floor to the ground
below and the glass in the window
lacerated her face, hands and limbs
in terrible manner.

ANTHRAX HAS FIRM GRIP.
Southeastern South Dakota Due for a
Long Siege of Disease.

Vermillion, S. D., Aug. 25.-An ex-
pert from the Parke-Davis Company of
Detroit, Mich, has been in Clay and
Yankton counties investigating the an
thrax situation and holding meetings
for the purpose of enlightening the
farmers. He has come to the conclu-
sion that anthrax has been lurking
around for years, but until now has
never shown itself to a great extent
In several communities he learns that
on different occasions in times past
farmers have found one or more ami
mails dead in their feed yards that were
apparently healthy the night before.
According to the Detroit man, an
thrax, once it has gained a firm foot
hold, is very difficult to blot out, and
there is no telling when it will stop
spreading. The germ turks in pastures.
fields, swampy ground. haystacks, etc.
He advises vaccination in the spring
before the stock is turned into the pas
lures and also the burning of the pas
lures and fields this fall.
Losses of stock still continue in Clay
county and in some Instances several
animals have died in herds that were
vaccinated over two weeks ago. An
thrax vaccination it is said, works sim
liar to smallpox vaccination. 1t will be
effective with ,some horses and cattle,
while it will not touch others.
The farmers have come to the con-
clusion that about the only thing they
can do this fall is to vaccinate and de-
pend on cooler weather to check the
anthrax spread. And by burning OF
fields and vaccination early next
spring, they hope to gain relief.

100000 FOR HAMS.
Army Officers Start Gigantic Fund to
Use For Prisoners Defense.

New York. Aug. 25-A fund of ST.
OOO. 900 is being raised among the Of
ficers of the United States army, ac-
cording to a report today, to be APP
piled to the defense of Captain Ha1ns
and Thornton Jenkins Hams. Within
the last three days officers of the va
rious forts have called upon General
Peter Hams. father of the prisoners,
and assured him that the army men
are deeply in sympathy with his sons
and eager to aid in getting them out
of their predicament
The gigantic fund was started last
week and already, according to the re-
port. more than 100000 has been
pledged. 1t is doubtful if anything
approaching s1,ooo,oOo will be re-
auired for the defense, but army men
have set that sum to be raised
Thornton Jenkins Hams is putting
in his time in his cell at the county
iail in Long Island City writing a de-
tailed narrative of the part he played
in the murder of William ID. Annls'
and gives much help to the, lawyers IN
the preparation of his defense.
According to advices from Washing
ton. the war department last week
looked over the records of former muir
ders by army officers for precedents
hearing on the question of what the
attitude of the military authorities to-
ward Captain Hams should be. The
murder was committed while the cap
tain was on leave and the leave mas
not vet expired. 1t may be extended
or the captain may be regarded as alb
sent without leave, or may be regarded
under military arrest as we'll as civil.

twenty-five per cent of the product in
which it deals, may, in extraordinary
cases, exert a perceptible influence in
controlling the price of the product and
the terms of sale, but as a rule q cor
poration must control more than that
percentage of the total product before
it can exert hurtful influence on
trade. Under this plan, the small cor
poratons are left entirely free and I'M
hampered. This is not discrimina-
ton against the larger corporation, but
recognition of the fact that rules
are necessary in the case of corpora
tons controlling a large percentage OF
the product which are not necessary
in the case of smaller corporations.
Probably not one per cent of the cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce would be required to take out
a license under this plan-possibly not
one-half of one per cent--and yet what
a protection the remaining ninety-nine
per cent would find in the law requir-
ing a license in the case of the larger
ones!
The license, however, would not
prevent the growth of the corporations
licensed. 1t would simply bring them
under the eye of the federal govern
ment and compel them to deal with the
public in such a way as to afford the
public the protection necessary. One
of the restrictions suggested is that
such licensed corporations be COM

Close of Market Shows Little
Or No Improvement Over
Earlier Conditions
DEMAND WAS SMALL FOR HOGS
Shippers Rather Indifferent, Packers
Slow to Take Hold, and Market Was
Generally Weak = Little Inquiry
From scalpers Many Receipts
Held Ove-Lamhs Lower.

Chicago, Aug. 25-Cattle-There was
a weak tone at the outset. Receipts
were liberal, and over half of the run
consisted of range cattle. In the native
branch, offerings were chiefly made up
of butcher stuff, and there was little of
good quality on the market The COM
petition of range cattle with native
stock, made the latter unstable in the
earl hours of the market. The close of
the market showed little or no i'm
provement over earlier conditions.
The late runs carried a lot of native
cattle of light stocker quality that
looked as tho it had been crowded
to market by lack of pasture and a
prospect Of scant corn crop.
Hogs.
Hogs were generally weak, and
shippers were rather Indifferent. Re-
ceipts We're not heavy, but there We're
5000 held over. There was compara-
lively little inquiry from scalpers
Packers were slow to take hold.
The large proportion of grassy, light
and piggy stuff now coming is indicat-
only pa lbs last week, against 226
lbs the previous week and 2oO lbs
a year ago, when big hogs were
abundant Quality is nothing to brag
about, grassy and underweight goods
being conspicuous in the run.
Sheep.
There was another flood of western
lambs, and values were lower. The run
of sheep was light, and values were
steady.
Proportion of sheep and yearlings
continues rather small and it is these
classes that buyers want most. In
the killer class practically everything
is going to the local packers, as out
siders seem to have no orders. Good
and thin offerings sold as well as on
late days.

To End Traer-Dysart Dispute.

Special to Times Republican
Traer, Aug. 25.-On Thursday of this
week, base ball game is to he played
at Grundy Center between Traer and
Dysart, for d purse of $3.50. The Dy-
sart team recently played the Traer
team on their diamond at this place,
and We're defeated. The Dysart boys
claimed that the game was not fairly
won and wanted to prove that they
could Guido Traer. They We're SO sure
that they could do SO, that they We're
willing to risk 500 on the venture.
Several Traer parties had as much
confidence in our home team and
quickly matched the $500. Grundy
Center offered $50 to get the contest
there, hence the arrangement was
made and it is useless to say that both
sides will make a desperate effort to
win.
