CONNOR GIVES HIMSELF UP.

The Sentinel on Saturday briefly
announced the surrender to the Of
ficers of Harry Connor, a principal
in case that attracted much local
attention a few months ago, Con-
nor's partner being captured in this
county.
The Glenwood Post tells of the
Connor surrender as follows:
Harry Connor. son OF Ed Connor,
a prominent and respected rancher
of near Silt, surrendered to Sheriff
Wilmuth Thursday at noon.
1T will be remembered by our
readers that Connor is the young
man that gave information which led
to the arrest of Hardy Fuller on the
charge of horse stealing. officers
We're on the trail of the men who had
stolen horses near New Castle. This
trail led them to the vicinity of Ri
fle, and as the officers We're going
along the road they met young Con-
nor, who told them they might find
the horse thief in clump of trees
farther back along the road. No one
suspected Connor of being one of the
thieves, and, in fact, no attention was
given him. but the hunt of the thief
was renewed.
Fuller was captured and brought
to Glenwood. where he learned that
his pal had given the tip that led to
his arrest. This caused Fuller to give
the name of Conner. and the officers
then secured the country for him:
but he had disappeared and nothing
was heard of him until he turned up
at the sheriff s office at noon Thurs
day He announced that he had come
back to face trial, and that afternoon
appeared before Justice Cardnell, who
bound him over to the district court
in the sum of $500.

THE SPREAD OF
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

There is at all times danger of the
spread of contagious diseases through
many channels Contagious diseases
are due to their respective germs,
some of which are more virulent than
others. Rabies is a ntagious dis
ease; but is seldom. if ever, transmit
ted. except through bite from a rab-
id animal. tuberculosis is another
contagious disease, and is usually
spread from cows to calves and pigs
through the milk, or by healthy ami
mails coming in contact with diseased
ones, or, in case of hogs, where they
are following cattle in the feed lot
and the cattle have tubercular ulcers
in the bowels. Chambers is transmit
ted by coming in contact with the
discharge from the nostrils. or from
ulcers on the legs or body, or through
drinking fountains.
There are other diseases of horses.
cattle and hogs that are more viru-
lent and more acute in their attack
and more easily distributed Hog
cholera germs are easily carried by
the feet of coyotes. dogs, men and
other animals. and distributed from
one farm to another, thus spreading
the disease through a whole commun-
ity or country, and finally through
the state. Anthrax and many other
diseases are spread in like man
ner.
A recent outbreak OF a contagious
disease among horses was noted in
which the germs of the malady We're

farm either by dogs or on the shoes
of individuals. In these cases all

Sherman, who was native OF Ohio,

On account of his being a graduate from
West Point, he was elected to the Superin-

of Learning and Military Academy, near
Alexandria, which opened it's doors to
pupils on January /, 1860. In January,
1851, he resigned and "turned his face
Northward." Just before his departure,
according to our recollection, he told the
citizens of Alexandria that he would never
unsheathe his sword against the people OF
the South. The darkest pages in the his

through defenseless country was marked
by burned homes, destroyed farms, women
and children left roofless, without clothes,

THE GREATEST LOUISIANIAN.

| A correspondent submits to the New
Orleans States the interesting question
"Who is the greatest Louisianian, living
or dead" to which the States replies as
| follows:
"That inquiry is one that has often been
made, although it never seems to have
been conclusively answered up to this
time. Louisiana has produced many noble
men, but no one among them perhaps has
lowered so conspicuously above all his
fellows as to cause him to be pointed to as
Louisiana's pre- eminently great son.
In responding to toast proposed to

banquet composed of the members of the

Francis I. Nichols. It would probably be
difficult to find citizen of the State, living
or dead, who more nearly measures in all
respects up to the requirements that 90 to
constitute true greatness
In our humble opinion, Henry Watkins
Allen sis the greatest Louisianian living
or dead" True, he was Mississippian
by birth, but his great life-work was given
to Louisiana. AS Governor during the
last two years of the War Between the
States Allen proved himself to be the
greatest Chief Magistrate Louisiana has
ever had. Next to Allen we place ssthe
gallant Brigadier Nicholls," as Gen. RE.
Lee, in his report of the Battle of Chan

Allen and Nicholas! This State can with
great pride point to their deeds of patriot
ism and devotion to their people.

solve II but the veterans themselves,
and they settled 1t in short order.
After marching In the last review
they simply dispersed That was all
there was to It,
So far from desiring to take charge
OF the government, or turn II into a
military despotism. the old soldiers
hated the very thought OF war for
wars sake. The Grand Army OF the
Republic. which was organized some
years after the close of the rebellion,
through the efforts OF Dr. b. F. Ste
phenson, had hard time getting
started because of this fact But the
G. A. r. had reason for being, and
II gradually won its way into the
hearts OF the old soldiers, who began
at length to appreciate the society
which took up the work OF preserving
the memory OF the heroic dead, and
assisting needy living comrades.
We owe the reverential observance
OF Memorial Day largely to the influ-
ence and example of the c. A. r. The
day at first devoted merely to the
placing OF flowers on the graves OF
the dead, has widened into great
historical holiday, even superseding
the Fourth OF July In serious atten-
ton to our military annals. and to
the incubation OF patriotism The
G A. r. will leave Memorial day as it's
special gift to the nation, when with
the death Of It's last surviving cOmrade

But Memorial day Is only one OF tho
many good works OF the G. A r. IT

emphasis on the comradeship OF arms
