the Chicago fire, her prototype at S:15

no cou1agration followed.
The OLD time fire apparatus was sup

of the lantern explosion had passed.
The incident marked the close of

residents against carelessness that
might bring about another such blaze

TELLS HOW
To Chose The Good MuSh-
rooms and Avoid Poisoning
Bulletin Issued At The ExpCr.
iment Station

The numerous cases of serious
mushroom poisoning which do not
end fatally, as well as the many fata-
alities of such poisoning, about all the
large cities of the northern United
States during August and September,
1911, show how dangerous the pois-
onous mushrooms may be. This is
no wse detracts from the high food
value of the edible mushrooms.
A writer of the New York Botanical
Garden has recently pointed out that
around New York City the white form
of the deadly amanita, or destroying
angel. has been very prevalent. The
assistants of the Department of Bot
any of the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station have also collected these
forms of the amanita about Wooster,
and they are quite likely the cause
of several recent cases of mushroom
poisoning. This fungus has sprung
up very freely in all situations favor
able to the growth of mushrooms and
because of it's abundance and danger
calls for warning against it.
The common edible mushroom,
garicus campestris, is a form that one
must learn to recognize correctly be-
fore using. For practical purposes we
may state that this form never has
sack or volva about the base of the
stem. One in gathering mushrooms
should never fail to take up the en-
tire base of the stem to make sure
whether it is provided with bosal
sack
The deadly Amanita, Amanita phal-
.oides, or destroying angel" on the
other hand has, in addition to white
annulus or ring and veil toward the
cap the swollen base of the stem
sheathed with a white volva or death
cup"
This note is written to warn all
mushroom collectors to seek always
the base of the stem of the mush-
room and TO examine this closely, dis.
cardins always such specimens as
are provided with sack about the
base OF the swollen stem The button

be collected except when they are
known to be of the same kind as 9TH

Columbus, Ohio, October 10--Dr.
Paul Fischer, State Veterinarian, to-
day appealed to Governor Harmon,
asking emergency aid to stop the raw
ages of hog cholera, which is killing
thousands of swine throughout the
state and causing losses to live stock
raisers. DR.. Ficher says that unless
funds can be provided Immediately to
combat the disease the loss will
amount to millions of dollars.
"ohio will lose from $3,OOOOOO to $5,-
100000 worth of swine this year from

few dollars to fight this disease when
there should be thousands appropriat-
ed for the purpose. Pork is bound to
go UP and the people will pay the in

By This Decision

The supreme court of Ohio ON Tues
day affirmed the judgment Of the cir
cult court oil Knox county in the case
of Ohio VS.. Charles Suttles, convicted
on a charge of rape in the court of

guilty in the court of common pleas
On charge of rape and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life by Judge

circuit court and the case was revers-
ed on the grounds Of the weight of
evidence. The case was then taken
to the supreme court by Prosecutor

day. On Tuesday the supreme court
affirmed the opinion of the circuit
court

time the merchant prince of Mon
tana and very prominent in bust

million dollars, was struck by a
street car Saturday and instantly

He was standing on the tracks
watching a passing train when an
electric car bore down on him.
Gamer was working for So a day as
weighmaster in the smelter. living
alone by himself in a cabin close to

idence in Helena.
He was the founder of the Mon

resulted disastrously and the Gam
er fortune finally was lost and the
