County Seat War Is Now Believed
TO Be Ended.

Montgomery City, Mo, Nov q.
This town is delighted over the de-
cision on the county seat case,
quashing the writ, which was insti-
tuted to compel the records to be
taken back to Danville.
Last February the County Court
ordered the records sent to this city
and placed in the Courthouse, al
leging that they we're in jeopardy at
Danville.
This was considered one of the
last chapters in the county seat war
but Danville instituted writ.
1t is now likely that proposition
to build new Courthouse here or
Danville or at both places will be
submitted at the election next

Corn Mold Fatal to Many Horses.
Weldon, Iowa, Nov. "a. Farmers
of this community are buying wire
muzzles to prevent their horses
from eating corn stalks while in the
fields during husking season. The
appearance of a peculiar poisonous
mold on the stalks Is causing con-
siderable worry in the community
as several horses have died from
the effects of eating it, aud other
animals are in a serious condition.
Whether the poisonous mold will
prevent the feeding of cattle on the
stalk fodder is a question that is
causing considerable agitation also
If the mold affects cattle as it does
horses, it will mean a serious loss
to the farmers, for most of them al
roady have sold their hay, attracted
by its high market price for the last
few months.

him a nickel if he would agree

upon the conditions named, and
