ACurefOr Hog Cholera

Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it is
sometimes called is highly contagious dis
order.
When hog shows any symptoms Of this
disease, he should be isolated at once and
the pen fumigated in order to save the other
hogs if possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with two
parts milk in bottle and give every sick
hog a tablespoonful of this mixture night
and morning for three days. Sloan's Lini-
ment is a powerful antiseptic, kills the dis
ease germs, soothes all inflammation and
acts as tonic to the animal.
A. J. Mccarthy, of Idaville, Ind, says
''My hogs had hog cholera three days be-
fore we got Sloan's Liniment which was rec
commended to me by a neighbor who was
using it with success. have used it now
for three days and my hogs are almost well.

New Rochelle, N. Y, Oct. H.-De-
spondent over the fact that she had
been disappointed in an engagement
made for Sunday last with her sweet
heart, Miss Ida M. Nissan, dress
maker, committed suicide.
Miss Nissan, a woman of twenty
five, of beautiful face and perfect fig
ure, with extensive social acquain-
lance, engaged in trade and soon es-
tablished large fashionable clientele.
In a letter to her sister the young
woman, whose father was cousin of

Chester Gillette, who met death for
the murder of Grace Brown.
Miss Nissan planned her suicide
with elaborate detail She wrote notes
to her mother and sister, to some of
her girl friends and to A. Percy Fall
coner Of New York. Then she went
to her bathroom, attached an end of a
tube to the gas burner, put the other
end In her mouth, sat down and died.
The letter to Falconer read:

NIGHT RIDERS LYNCH
PROMINENT ATTORNEY
Colonel Taylor by Ruse Escapes
From Mob.

Tiptonville, Tenn, Oct. 27.--Unharm-
ed save for numerous scratches re-
ceived in a thirty hour trip through
unfamiliar woods and the fatigue in

Captain Quentin Rankin.
Colonel Taylor made the following
statement of his experience:
captain Rankin and / went to Reel
Foot lake ia response to a letter from
a Mr.. Carpenter of Union City, who
wanted to lease some timber lands.
On our arrival at the lake we went to
the log house, or Ward hotel, and ear
~ after supper retired. Some time
during the night we were aAoused by
some one knocking at our door, and
on opening it a mob of masked men
were found in the hall.
"The leader talked with us, telling
us we were associating too much with
Judge Harris and were taking entire
ly too much interest In the lake. He
said that the course of Harris and the
West Tennessee Land company in pro-
hibiting free fishing was causing the
starvation of women and children and
that something had to be done.
81 never dreamed that the mob In
tended us any harm, but just then they
threw a rope around Captain Rankin's
neck and swung him to a limb. He
protested and said, Gentlemen, do not
kill me-, and the reply of the mob was
volley Of fifty shots that riddled his
body.
"The band then began disputing
about me, some wanting to kill me and
others arguing to hold off for a time.
watched my chance, broke away
from two guards and plunged into the
bayou"
Fourteen more prisoners were ar
rested. This makes a total Of sixty
one prisoners now in custody.

wise people. In the grasping of these
opportunities n people must be bold
as well as wise, and they must have
that spirit OF self reliance that wiz
overcome what may seem 10 be un-
surmolntable obstacles and difncul-
ties
To the unbia ed observer the time
has come I'm the history OF Toledo
and Lincoln county when our people
must awake and take hold OF the
opportunities that present them
selves and forward the development
of the county. The most vital mat
ter that effects Toledo and the whole
northern half of the county today
Is the building of railroad from
Toledo into the magnificent Slletz
country. Heretofore, perhaps, on
portunlty has not been ripe for this
project, but now II only awaits the
energy OF our people to go forward
with the lnltlatloe in the matter,
Tributary to the Toledo gateway
there are four billion feet OF mer-
chantable timber In the Siletz conn.
try, In addition to this there IA
twice as much agricultural land as
there is In all the balance OF the
county. A young empire Is lying
dormant for the want of touch OF
the magic wand OF transportation to
awaken II TO life and energy.
But this wand will not be waved
without an effort. We have waited
too long now. and every day that
we wait longer will only render the
task harder and perhaps In short
time hopeless.
The thing for the people of To-
ledo and Siletz to do is to organize
and build the nine miles OF railroad
between Toledo and Siletz. II "a
not an impossible task by any
means. Capital can be enlisted with
the proper effort. II man like w
j, Wilsey can inspire such rail-
road movement as we had here two
years ago, why cannot our own peo-
pie, working In our own interest and
for eur own vital welfare inspire
such results as will interest capital
to build this road and develop this
magnificent country. II Is not a
ehimerieal idea by any means h,,
entirely feasible The route would
be on a very favorable grade. aud
the cost of building would be mini
mum.

things: That II the people OF To-
ledo and siletz sit still and make nc
effort to help themselves on this
matter that the next ten years will
see this project no further ahead
than at present; while l am as irm-
ly convinced that IL an energetic eff
fort void be made that a railroad
to Siletz would be an assured fact
inside of two years. am aware
that some effort toward a road to
Siletz has been made by local firm,
but that seems to have developed
into merely a timber speculation
proposton, and shomld be consid-
cred on that basis only as long as It
tends to retard the country.
1t is time to awake and to help
ourselves. From Toledo to the west
end of Salem and Falls City railroad
is only distance of about 35 miles.
The nine miles from Toledo to ST.
letz would be legitimate link IN
this road. Let us make the supreme
effort Of our lives to secure this
road. It means millions of dollars
in improvements in Lincoln county.
It means mills and factories; Il
means the development Of a fine ag-
ricuhural region. and II further
means the opening to manufacture
Of the finest and largest belt of fir
and cedar timber on the coast today.
To sit still Is to rust out, and to
Zee the more wideawake communl-
les take advantage OF these oppor-
unities that we let go by.
Now is the time and here is the
opportunity. Shall we profit by |
hem or sit Idle and lose all?
