Released From Charge Of Murder.

Will Hunt and James Fezell, both
negroes, were brought here and
lodged in Jail last Saturday by Shelby
county authorities to answer charge
of murder, alleged to have been COM
mitted Thursday night of last week.
A negro named Hill was the victim
and the deed was committed near the
border line, but after Tennessee au-
thorities had arrested Hunt and Fe-
zell it was found out that the parties
were about two hundred feet south of
the state line when the difficulty oc-
Cured, so they were brought here.
Wednesday Justice MCGOWAN gave
both negroes preliminary hearing
and both were discharged, the evi-
denee showing that Hill had attacked
the negroes with baseball bat when
one of them stabbed him to death.

may be immune, but great many
are not immune, and if they become
infested with ticks per chance (and
the chance is always there in the in
tested area) they are sure to be at
tackled by Texas fever, with every
chance of dying. The Department
of Agriculture has knowledge that
the loss from Texas fever among
southern cattle is enormous.
Cattle from the quarantined area
can only be shipped to the great
markets of the north for immediate
slaughter. Look at the disadvantage.
You are at the mercy of the buyer,
and receive from one-half to one cent
less per pound. If there is demand
elsewhere for milch cows and feed
ers you are prohibited to sell at a
great profit. You can only sell for
immediate slaughter, because the
northern people are afraid of your
cattle. That alone certainly is great
loss.
Your cattle need Improvement.
How to do that? Import good bulls
and COWS and with them grade up
your cattle gradually. But good bulls
are high priced. The purchaser,
however, is taking great risks. They
may contract Texas fever and die, or
if they should recover would be
worthless for breeding purposes.
This makes the southern purchaser
very cautious, he will not take the
risk.
Now the eradication of the fever
ticks will remove all these obstacles
and losses. The quarantine will be
lifted and you can compete with the
world, and embark safely in this
profitable business venture to which
your county is especially adapted, i
e. animal industry.
In next issue I will gladly discuss
the great economic aspect of tick
eradication in regard to diversified
farming and the conservation of the
soil. In short, the benefits to the
at large.

HOW SUGAR IS MADE.
Major Tells Interesting Details Of Nam.
moth Industry in Cuba.

HAVANA, March 10, 1909.
Yesterday ! went on an electric
road thirty five miles in the country
to see Cuban country life.
AT the end of the line was a sugar
mill turning out about $4,000 pounds
of clarified sugar per day. The ma
chinery was set in motion the 10th of
last November and has not cooled
since; it runs day and night, Sunday
and all thf time. The cane is brought
in long trains of cars, and in large
wagons drawn by fine teams of extra
large oxen, and is delivered direct to
the carrier at least two hundred feet
from the crusher, aud is Strengthened
on the carrier by revolving device
and enters the crusher in a continu-
GUS layer almost a foot thick. The
juice flows direct to the boiling vats
that hold at least 500 gallons and flows
from one to another until it has passed
through, / think, six, when it flows
into the centrifugal machine upon
the principle of the cream separator)
when the water and molasses are
thrown off and the sugar left dry and
is shoveled into sacks ready for ship
ment. The cane is pressed dry and
used for fuel to run the machinery. /
was told this mill cost about half
million of dollars, and some on the
island cost more than a million.
The sugar makers do not take toll,
as our sorghum makers do, but they
buy the cane from the growers. /
passed through about ten miles of
cane and it extended good deal
farther. The cane fields reminded me
of our delta cane brakes in its tangled
condition. The main cost in sugar
production, after it is once planted,
is cutting and moving the cane to the
mills. 1t is planted but once in from
three to five years. 1t is plowed with

TICK ERADICATION.
Expert Enumerates Some of the Losses
Caused by the Pest.

Here. and there in my travels
through DeSoto county, Miss, / have
heard it said that the United States
Government veterinary inspector
would order your cattle killed if found
infected with ticks.
Let me state especially: We do
not want to destroy your cattle, we
only want to destroy the ticks that
annoy your cattle. Now, why does
the United States Government and
your state go to such great expense
to accomplish this end? Because
their sole object is to benefit the peo-
pie. There then must be loss, a
damags, occasioned by these very
same ticks. Yes, it is loss in dol
lars and cents. Let us in a few words
enumerate these losses:
The Texas fever tick is a parasite.
1t feeds and thrives on the blood of
cattle, and the minute parasite it
conveys to the blood does destroy
enumerable red blood corpuscles.
Well blood is the very indispensable
nutrient fluid of the body. Therefore
a continual loss of blood is loss of
food. Blood produces fat, meat and
and milk. Thus loss of blood is a
loss of fat, meat and milk, and these,
as you all know, are the equivalent
of dollars.
The tick is skin parasite, causes
irritation. This again causes worry,
and worrying animal will never
grow fat nor give an abundance of
milk.
A hide of an animal infested with
ticks depreciates in value from seven
ty-five cents to one dollar. Now the
hides of cattle shipped from the quar-
antine area as southern cattle, infest-
ed with ticks or without them, are
considered by the prospective buyer
worth less by one dollar each.
The tick is the only carrier of Texas
fever, very fatal disease. A great
proportion of your southern cattle

Lincoln Place Names.

InSauk county there is not stream,
hill, postotfice, township, village or
city that is named for the great eman-
cipator. Baraboo is the home of the
Haskins Bros and the street east of
the fair grounds is named Lincoln
avenue. It's in an addition made to
the city by Nv. H. Jacobs and was
named by him.
Prairie du Sac has an avenue bear
ing his name. The street is just south
of Marion Park and extends through
the w. H. Jacobs subdivision and
Riverside addition. 1t was no doubt
named Lincoln avenue by Mr.. Jacobs.
This is the nearest approach to any
thing permanent in the county that
bears the name of Lincoln. In the
state there is a Lincoln county and q

The cry of, coward to Richmond
had become a reality. April 3rd, 1868,
saw Gen. Grants forces enter the capitol
of the Southern Confederacy, and plant
the stars and stripes once more upon
her soil. The 9th of the same month
Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant at
the Appomattox court house. Victory
crowned all our banners, and peace was
assured. The north was wild with joy.
All at once from out the startled air
came the appalling intelligence OF, Pres.
Lincoln's assassination-on the night OF
the 14th of this same month, shot
through the head at Ford's theatre in
Washington. w. H. Seward, secretary
of state, in the privacy OF his Sick
chamber, was the victim of an assassln's s
dagger. A conspiracy had been formed
to take the lives of the president, vice
president, all the members of the cabi-
net and Gen. Grant. So sklllfully had
it been planned, tnat it doubtless had
been, all accomplished ere Gen. Lees
surrender had reached us, as news at
that time travelled slowly, Kilbourn be-
ing our nearest telegraph station.
A man from Kilbourn first brought
word of the assassination on the after
noon of the 10Th and doubtless first told
it in DR.. Mills drug store, which stood
where now the Corner drug store stands.

President Refreshed Many Soldier After the Second


Among those who can entertainlngy
tell of seeing Lincoln is Hon. Philip
Cheek of Barahoo. The first instance
was when the president reviewed $4,000
troops under Gen. Mcclellan at Bailey's
Cross Roads.
The next was after the second battle
of Bull Run. It will be remembered that
the army of the Potomac had met defeat
and took refuge within the Notifications
of Washington. Mr.. Cheeks company
paused at the White House and on the
walks and lawns that hot summer night
The soldiers rested. During the evening
Mr.. Cheek noticed tall form with a
pail of water and dipper refreshing
the tired warriors. There in the dim
light he watched him go back and forth
on his mission of humanity. He does
not recall how long it was, but knows that
it was far into the night that he continu-
ed his task. Humble and in kindness, to
those exhausted soldiers, suffering from
the defeat of battle, Lincoln gave to
them "full measure of devotion"

store talking of the president when the
news was first told. Many of our cltl-
zens hardly took in the situation until
the danger was past. Among those who
did, CONSERVATION gave way to horror.
Men meeting on the street clasped hands
and gazed at each other in the agony Of
mute despair, while their tears fell like
rain. Old Glory wrapped in crepe hung
mournfully at half mast from theliberty
pole at the north east corner of the court
house park, while church bells tolled
dismally. In the midst Of our triumph
the God of battles had given us over to
our foes. Before the north could organ
ize, those southern hordes, fired with
hatred and revenge, would be upon us.
We remembered Mankato and ST. Cloud
and feltwe were not safe from tomahawk
and scalping knife.
Then came the glad tidings that
the plot had partly miscarried. Vice
president Johnson was safe and had
taken the oath of Office. Secretary Sc
ward was the only member of the cabi-
net that had suffered and he would live.
Again our good old ship of state was
safe. But Lincoln, the venerated of
every loyal citizen, who ever had malice
| for none and charity for all was gone
/ forever from us. Memorial services were
held in the court house in his honor,
Rev. Warren Cochran being the speaker
of the occasion.
