 It is rumored here that an acci- dent insurance company, in which J. l.. Reinach carried policy for $5,000 made payable to his brother, Nose Reinach, of this city, was behind the prosecution and was largely respons- ble for the recent indictment that has been returned against Schlenker.
 It is figured that ill the event that the State is able to prove Schlenker guilty of the charge upon which he has been indicted the insurance com pany will decline to pay the benef- ciary on the ground that the killing of Reinach was not an accident. It is the general opinion of those who have kept posted on the case that Schlenker will prove his innocence and that his original story of mistakY ing Reinach for a burglar will be corroborated by the testimony.

 Pine Bluff was the only river station
 showing a rise yesterday There the water came up one-tenth of foot. but the crest is expected here today or tonight, when the fall will begin. Section Director Alciatore says he , expects the fall to be slow on ac- count of the high stage of the Mis- sissippi, which prevents the flood
 water from the Arkansas emptying as rapidly as it would under other cir cumstances. The river stages at 7:3O o'clock yesterday morning were: Fort Smith, 25.4, fall of six-tenths. Dardanelle. 25.o, fall of four
 tenths.
 Little Rock, 262, fall of one

 normal summer stage.

TYPHOID FEVER AND MILK.

The recent outbreaks of typhoid
fever which have been traced directly
to milk supply seem TO warrant oul
calling the attention of the dalrymaI
and the consumer, as well, to some ol
the more common practices which are
responsible for these epidemics, There
is no longer any question that spe
cfic germ. bacillus typhosus, is the
cause of typhoid fever. Moreover
we know that the most frequent chan
nels of infection are through food and
drink, especially the latter.
Clean, sanitary milk does not con.
tain the germs of typhoid; but clean
milk is the exception. 1t is the or.
dinary milkman with few COWS, a
dark, vile smelling COW shed, and a
filthy, boggy barnyard with manure
and mud knee deep, that menaces

and come to the stable with their legs
and udders literally wriggling witn
typhoid fever germs. AS soon as
milking begins, germ laden hairs fall
into the milk, and once in the milk
the micro-organisms, introduced on
their hairs, multiply at a tremendous
rate. and no power save boiling or the
addition of some harmful or delete
rious germicide can render the milk
safe for human beings.
No bottled milk should be left with
customers who have, in their families
typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet
fever, or, In fact, any contagious or
infectious disease. Epldemics have
originated from bottles infected in
just such a manner. Deliver milk 10
such persons in their own utensils.
In the summer time, flies offer one
of the most dangerous means of
spreading disease. One minute they
are feeding upon typhoid excreta

they are swarming the stable and milk

Medical examination of the milk
mans family at regular intervals, as
well as his cattle, should be required
by law, so that If there is any serious
sickness, extra precautionary meas
ures can be taken to protect the milk
from infection. Whether public sen
timent is as yet strong enough to de
mand legislation for protection of hu
man life against the INSCRIPTIONS

euMPTIoN ON THE FARM.

Thanksgiving is good thing;

One can not judge of a mans i'm

Every farmer should take part in

Keep the soundest parts of old grain

Don't expect your wife to know
where all the things are which you
leave lying about. Remember, she
does not possess second sight, though
there are many times when she needs

Dabbling in stocks and leaving the
farm to run itself is not a good way
to do business. 1t is the surest way
to trouble and loss. Money out of

Underdrainage is a good thing but is
expensive. Outlines it is cheaper and
quite as effective to overdrain. using
grass waterways for this purpose. This
is what we do: There overdrains are
from six to twelve inches deep in the

wide, tapering in depth from the cen

THANKSGIVING DAY IN AMERICA


The harvest was over at Plymouth,
And the Pilgrims were light of heart 4
For God had blessed the grain fields.
In this lone little world apart.
He had blessed them with bountiful
measure,
OF fruit and of corn and of grain
And their saddened hearts had grown
lighter.
In spite of that first year of pain
That year when first they had landed
When sickness and death seemed to
creep,
Like ghouls, on the weaker among
them
Till they lay in their last long sleep.
And though as the graves grew in
number,
The little band had grown small,
Yet they kept their faith in the Father
For they knew they had answered
His call.
And now, that their labors were over
and the grain and the fruits stored
away,
At the little church they gathered
And ordained the first Thanksgiving
day.
And after the prayers were over,
A bountiful feast was spread.
And they feasted on turkey and corn
pone,
Yellow pumpkins and apples red,
And so, the first Thanksgiving.
Was kept by a grateful band,
And each year we keep it sacred,
In blessed Freedoms land.
Thank God for America and Thanks
giving day! If those brave few who
dared to rebel against tyranny and
seek freedom for their blessed cause.
had been too cowardly to exert them.
selves in the cause they knew to be
right then America would never have
been, and we, who are proud to say
that we are Americans would never
have existed.
Thanksgiving day means much to
Americans now, haloed as it is with
| the memory of the beginning of free
dom and progress. But how much 1t
must have meant to the brave pilgrims
who were fighting a brave fight against
great odds. How much must that
| first simple feast have meant. Now
| when we sit down to our Thanksgiv-
| ing feast-in a country peaceful and
progressive, with our boards piled high
| with luxuries-do we realize the debt
we owe to those who celebrated the
| first Thanksgiving feast?
Thanksgiving day is distinctly
American. That is why we love 1t SO.
1t has it's sacred place in every Ameri
can life and is especially beloved of
the American children, the most en-
| thusiastic of our patriots.
Let us not forget then, the debt of
gratitude and homage we owe to those
| brave men and women who paved
way for our present prosperity.
