TAKING CARE OF
THE HERD HEAD

AS many farmers are anxious to get
information about bulls. an expert on
handling these animals suggests the
following plan for taking care OF
them:
The first thing is to gain the bulrs
confidence and let him know that the
persons handling him are his friends.
BE kind. but irm. and always make
the bull keep his place. Never take
any chances BY getting careless, and
a person should never fight bull un-
less he wants trouble. But right here
/ wish tn say there is great diner
ence in making him keep his place and
fighting him. To illustrate:
once bought four-year-od bull

PATR0LMAN TOM IVERS STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS Rushed to St. .Vincent's s Hos pital In Ambulance In
 Critical Condition FORMERLY CRACK
 BALL PLAYER .Afliction Is Continuation of Long Series of Mis-
 fortunes

Patro1man Thomas Ivers, one of the best known members of the Bridgeport police department, a for mer fireman and once catcher of the Bridgeport baseball team of the Con snecticut league, was removed from his home, 434 Arctic street, to St. Vincent's hospital just before noon today, in a critical condition follow ing an attack of paralysis with which he was stricken on Sunday morning
 Officer IVers' shock is the culm1na- tion of a series of mishaps that have befaIlen him and his family during while in pursuit of burglar suspect in the rear of the home of Dr. George B. CoweIl, East Washington avenue, he encountered a rose bush that all but scratched his eye out. This dis abled him from duty for many weeks. Less than two months ago, when he eye injury, Mrs. Ivers was stricken with scarlet fever and segregated from her husband and four small children for many weeks, 6ear 1uar. reported off duty, feeling i'll, and re- maining at home entered the attic Of his home to bring down potatoes for the midday meal. While alone in the attic he stum mbled and fell, and found himself unable to arise. He strove to regain his footing but still failing realized that his right side was numb. He managed to crawl down. stairs, however, suffering little pain, but when his family saw his plight, he was put to bed, and Dr. J. H. D. Budau, the family physician was summoned.
 pr. Budau visited Officer Ivers daily at his home and believed he was nending rapidly. This morning, how ever, he suffered a sinking spell and when Dr. Budau arrived in response to a hurry call about Il o'clock he found the policeman unable to talk, the paralysis apparently becoming g general. He advised his immediate removal to a. hospital, and summoned the ambulance corps. Dr. Krause su- pervised the removal, and Officer Ivers was made as comfortable as possible in St. Vincent's hospital.
 His condition is so grave, however, that doubts are expressed to the outcome. Officer Ivers was first ap- pointed to a permanent position in the fire department as a member of the crew of the horse drawn chemical en- zine, and later was transferred to the post of driver of No. engine He was fireman when on May 3, 1907, he was elected a patrolman. He has proved himself one of the most efic- tent members of the department and has a splendid record. His legion of friends hope that his hitherto fine phy- sique will pull him safely through his present dangerous illness.

It was the third special election held to fill va cancies in the House and it was the third shock sustained by the Repub- Iicans, who showed plainly that they W ere elated by this "harbinger of the fel1 election, as Bryan called it.
 The Rochester defeat is blamed by Republicans largely to A1dridge's con rrection with the scandals in the New Y ork Legislature. The Democrats de- clare that dissatisfaction with the tar if was a great factor. The problem that now confronts them, Republican leaders say, is the removal of the cstIses of defection before the Novem- fer elections Conferences have al- ready been arranged to investigate the causes of the slump and to counter act it.

 The investigation has been quietly demanded, it is said, by friends of Highway Commissioner Macdonald who read a certain interview in the newspapers which was attributed to MT. Bdltz in which the State commits sioner was blamed for the poor condi- tfon of the work.
 Some of the matters in which it is claimed there was neglect relate to the rolling both of the bed of the road before the stone was put on, and the road after the stone was laid down.
 It is also claimed that the grade of the road is defective. so that water instead of being shed at the sides, runs to the center

 @Gaynor is making a. good mayor, 9 he said, land a man of his positive convictions is what this city needs. He is fit to occupy any position in the country and is sure to be called to higher duties.
 ..There is one deduction to be drawn from the election at Rochester and that is that public feeling is now swinging to the Democrats The next Congress and President will be Dem is responsible for the high cost of living and people know it.
 Boss rule in America is at an end. The people are tired of party rule. They are dissatisfied with the results obtained by it. The day is coming when the two old parties, or five or six new parties, will select the hest candidates they can. The voters will select freely from all tickets. Democrat and Republicans there will still be in name, but very often their tickets will differ only in one or two names. We shall have Socialists, for whom all the members of the old parties will vote, and the labor man and even prohibftionists. There will use the word now.
 asThe time when Americans will call in one man to act for them and Edeave everything to his discretion, has gone by. They will be doing their own thinking pretty soon."
