Typhoid Epidemic


Barton, on the Rugby branch Of the
Great Northern, has a typhoid fevet
epidemic and many caset are rel
ported with several deaths already.
The cause is believed to be due to the
fact that the cemetery is on the
highest point of ground, right on the
edge Of the town, and a strata OF
quicksand underlies the town and
the cemetery. The state board OF
health has been asked to have the
bodies removed from their present
resting place to place more remote
from the hoes of the inhabitants of
the town.

Looking After His Work
In a Careful Manner
Chairman James johnson Getting in Touc with the St
alton Without Loss Of Time-Confdent of a
Big Republican Majority

As they have chosen you as one
OF he guards to look after the inter
est of the Republican party in your
precinct, the Republicans as a whole
and in fact every Republican candi-
date from the president to the con-
stable, look upon you with confidence
as a promoter Of their success at the
polls in Novem ber. And I have no
doubt but what you and the other
precinct committeeman will ;, CO.
operate with your precinct chairman
and myself for the best interest of
our party.
Always emember that after the
primaries are over we are all Re
publicans and must work for the sue
cess of every candidate nominated
on our ticket no matter what were
our differences prior to the nomina-
tions. The people have spoken and
in the Republican party the majority
rules and the ticket selected by the
people must have our united support
You may think this is early to take
up the ampaign. 1t is not too early
for you and me who have been
chosen, as it were, guards. We
should at all times, and especially
between now to the time the polls
are closed in November, be on the
lookout for the welfare of every
candidate nominated by our party.
We should at all times advocate at
and promote the Republican prin-
ciples and fealty to the party. Re-
member, the Democrats are in the
field-both national and state-ever
watchful to take advantage of our
mistakes and neglect. I, therefor,
repeat it,-that not only the members
of the county and state committees
should be on their guard, but the
precinct committeeman in particular,
for after all, you are one of those to
whom we must look for support, as
you come in touch with the people
proper and they are the ones that
we must reach in order to have sue
cess.
You are aware that at the primar-
les there was no nomination made
for U. S. senator The Hon. NJ. N.
johnson and the Hon. Thos. F.
Marshall received the largest numbre
OF votes. The names Of these men
will appear on the ballots. They are
both good Republicans and able men,
worthy Of the support of our party
No nominations having been made. I

Tort as whole. And now nv aaer
sir, I must respectfully ask YOU to
communicate with me if there is
anything if your precinct that needs
special attention, b,-cause it is only
by your assistance that Va can sue
ceed. 1t should, therefore, be your
special duty to see your neigh. "1s
and see that they are right for the
ticket as a whole.
Should YOU It any time come 10

will call on me.

James Johnson, the newly elected
chairman of the Republican County
Central committee is looking after
his work in a careful manner, and
is losing no time in getting in touch
with the situation over the entire
county. The job is big one, but
Jim has many ardent supporters who
will lend him assistance in this gig
antic undertaking. To be at the
head of politics in a county like Ward
is about like being the overseer of an
average sized eastern state.
MIR. Johnson is confident of a great
big Republican majority for the Re-
publicans for the entire state ticket,
in Ward county this year. The fol-
lowing letters whics he has sent to
the precinct committeeman will show

HORSE AND DOG.

Contact With Civilization Lessons
Their Cunning and sasacity.
The dog is no doubt the most intelli-
gent of our domestic animals, and l
yield to none in my affection for him.
I can almost eat and sleep with fine
dog winter and summer. But try not
to deceive myself about his intelli-
gence. 1t seems to me that If the dog
had the least spark Of wit akin to our
own-that is, power of reason-his
long association with man would have
famed it into a fame, however small.
But after all these thousands of
years Of human companionship and
love he has less wit In some respects
than his wild brothers, the fox and
the wolf. Having been spared the
struggle to live that falls to their lot,
his cunning and sagacity have deterio-
rated. The same is true of the horse,
which has less intelligence than the
wild stallion Of the plains and for the
same reason.
These animals do not crow wiser as
they grow less villa. tFAs5 do not civil
lie or develop. We ,aFxA them into
certain ways that Raahe them service
able to us; we bunm iss them without
adding to their naentaa capacity. In
other words, we cannst cross our in
telligence upon theirs and make 1t
fruitful in them. The germ will not
take.-John Burroughs In Outing Mag

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1908-07-02

House owners are sometimes rather
unfortunate in their selection Of names
for their abodes, and in suburbia house
naming is occasionally rather iudicrous.
Thus 1.-THE Naples" has never ma
pie near, '"The Rosary only exists in
Imagination, "Sunnygide" is the most
depressing villa residence, and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the ;Bois de Boulogne.
The Anglo-Saxon word "hyrst," Sig
nifying a forest or wood, has become
hurst in house naming, and wood"
and "holt'' have the same meaning.
All house names ending with these ter
limitations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose.
It is curious to note that In Hastings
and st. Leonards quite a number of
houses have typicany Saxon names,
perhaps to commemorate the great
Saxon tragedy of which the name
Hastings is reminiscent.
