PERCY At HOME.

PERCY Al HOME.
Senator Percy, who has just re-
turned from the extra session Of
Congress, has done the sensible
thing, having arranged a pair
with a member of the opposition
and has renewed his campaign.
His continued presence in Wash
ington could have accomplished
no good just at present, The prin-
cipal matter that will be brought up
for consideration before the extra
session will be the reciprocity
treaty between this nation and
Canada, and it is a measure that is
sure to pass with or without the
vote OF Senator Percy. On all
others matters his "pair' counts
the same as q vote.
To have remained in Washing
ton would have been both useless
and nonsensical. The body to
which he belongs is simply waiting,
idly in their seats, upon the action
Of the Lower House. After the re-
c~iprocity treaty is disposed Of, q
measure for the passage Of which
the vote Of Senator Leroy Percy
is not at all necessary, shou'd Con-
gress decide to prolong the session
for the purpose of taking up the
subjecto OF tariffrevision, he would
be then subjected to another long
and useless wait, for under section
4, OF article /, Of the constitution,
it is provided that all revenue
measures must originate in the
House Of Representatives, and a
tariff revision bill, after having
been introduced, will remain there
many weeks in the hands of the
committee on Ways and Means,
being whipped into shape before
being reported to the House for
action. Leaving the House would
goto the Finance Committee of
the Sen ate, of which Senator
Percy is not a member, where it
would remain probably a month
longer, for consideration and
amendment after being reported
to the Senate would be debated
for several days, and probably
sent to conference for some de-
finite agreement between the two
houses before it could be taken
up for final passage.
During all this time Senator
Percy would be compelled to re-
main Idle in Washington while
his two able competitors, in their
laudable desire to succeed to a
seat in the United States Senate,
"a position worthy of any mans
ambition, would be vigorously and
theoretically canvassing the State
in the endeavorto convert to their
standard the vote necessary to
secure for them this high honor.
II is ungenerous 10 either OF
Mr. Percy's competitors tc believe
thst they will censure him for the
action be has taken, and surely
thefair- minded voters Of the State
will accord to Senator Percy right
motives in his decision. Missis-
gippians are fair and honorable in
their views, and have no desire
to see one pinned UP in useless
inactivity while two other com.
petitors are daily addressing tht

This shows the excellent fair

Farmers In Northern Missouri and

Heavy Losses Every

Farmers in northeastern Missouri
and western Illinois are losing hum
dreds of dollars every week because
of battling disease which is killing
the hogs, according to reports brought
to Keokuk nearly every day. The dis
ease drives the hog crazy and then
topples him over dead. The ravages
show no signs Of decreasing. Just
what the disease is is not known, al
though it is generally supposed to be
cholera, which is epidemic In other
portions of Missouri Vaccinations,
which are supposed to render a hog
immune from this disease, are appar-
emily of little avail in this case, the
veterinary surgeons declaring only
about half of the hogs vaccinated are
rendered immune from the disease A
La Grange, Mo-, dispatch in part, says:
The opinion that the disease is
something other than cholera is partly
borne out. William Jeffries, one Of
the large farmers near here, says thai
when the first of his hogs died ne
looked in the ear of the animal and

little bugs, similar to lice. Thinking
that perhaps the hogs had been killed
by the intrusion of grub into the
brain, Mr.. Jeffries secured some sui
phur and lard and poured quantity
of the mixture into the ear of each
hog. Since that time everyone of his
animals has been immune from the
disease, and he has lost no hogs.
Edward Wolfmeyer, o. s. Barker
and Henry Hackamack are some of
the heavy losers on account of the
disease, and although vaccination has
been tried on their animals, 1t has
produced no appreciable decline in
the number of deaths. The hogs act
strangely when stricken. Some OF
them straighten up suddenly. then
topple over dead; while others appar-
emily go crazy, running around and
squealing, and then falling over dead.
