IuAamation Of the Bowels N Hogs
On account Of the rainy autumn
which is responsible for much de.
cayed and moldy forage, a great
deal Of sickness among hogs has
been reported. The symptoms close
ly resemble cholera and, in some
instances, may be the real thing.
A prominent symptom noted seems
to be blush or dark discoloration
Of the lining Of the intestines. Dur
ing the attack the animal shows Sc
we're pam, becomes restless, has an
intense thirst, at first being constipat-
ed, being followed by diarrhea. Ten
perature may be high and practi-
cally every symptom Of cholera may
be present.
Causes may be many and varied.
As above mentioned, moldy forage,
especially plentiful IN stubble, may
be the melting factor; ergot found
in rye pastures; wheat or barley
boards lodging in the stomach or
bowel walls; soap or alkali IN slop,
cotton seed; widowed alfalfa, or
genuine hog cholera.
The treatment is wholly prevent
i've. Figure out a possible cause
and then remove it. Soothing laxa-
tiyes, such as a tablespoonful ofcas-
tor oil or epson salts are always IN
Dictated. Remove at once the healthy
from the sick. Give bran mashes
containing tablespoonful Of hypo-
sulphite Of sodium per pig dissolved
IN water.
If a veterinarian is available have
him make personal examination Of
the premises and prescribe suitable |
treatment.
All inquiries addressed to the Vet
Urinary Department Of the Idaho Ez-
pertinent Station will receive prompt
attention.

THROUGH THE MAILS.

Mrs. Amanda Taylor is confined
to her bed today and Mrs. Hattie
Figina is on the verge of a men

ing messages sent them shortly
after they filed affidavits alleging
they were coerced by jurymen to
give a verdict of guilty" in the
arson case against Girls Farrell
last week.
Mrs. Taylor, who was drawn
as a juror in the damage suit
against former Commissioner OF
Public Safety Petit and other
members of the Tacoma police
force, was unable to appear this
morning.
A. j. Laycock was selected as
a juror in her place.
The messages were sent first to
Mrs. Figina advising her and Mrs.
Taylor to say no more of what
went on during the deliberations
of the Farrell jury lest they be
thrown into Jail and otherwise
prosecuted.

ROGRESSIVE PARTY WILL STAND FIRM

(By United Press Leased Wire.C
CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-Speaking
before the bull moose conference
here today Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, by inference only, elim-
mated himself as the real leader
OF the new progressive party. He
insisted that the party had come
to stay and pleaded for its rep
resentatives in congress and state
legislatures to work hard to carry
progressive legislative program
especially for legislation which
provides for federal supervision
of trusts.
Hundreds of delegates wedged
in when the doors to the confer
ence rooms at the Lasalle hotel
were opened.
Col. Roosevelt, Oscar Strauss
and Senator Dixon we're greeted
with cheers. The delegates rose
en- masse when Jane Adams of
Chicago entered. Col. Roosevelt
shook her hands. Senator Dixon
called the meeting to order at
1905 a. IN.
Roosevelt said in part:
I'VE have fought a great fight.
We accomplished more In 90 days
than any other party in history
has accomplished in such a Inn
tied time. We forced all the 9TH
er parties and candidates to at
least give lip service to progress
sive principles"
Roosevelt denounced popular
contributions to campaign funds,
and said:
II am willing that the party
should take large contributions
if honestly offered in exactly on
the same terms and exactly the
same spirit as when offered by
the small contributions. The test
of the gift is the motive and not
the size.
Every law proposed in the So
cial and industrial planks of our
PLATFORM" he said, Should be
pressed. Our people should ex-
pound our policies in the school
houses and before oranges as we'll
as in the great industrial CEN
ters."
No party which denies to the
people the right to secure justice,
such as the progressives propose,
has the right to claim credit for
sincerity In any effort or work
for social and Industrial Justice.
In the matter of leadership
both local and national, no man
should come into the party with
the idea that he can establish a
claim. He must be content with
the opportunity 1t offers for SER
vice and sacrifice"

about me that very morning.
"Why, that woman, with her

couldn't see how anybody but a
blind man could marry me. She
said l was uglier than sin, and

would give myself to any fellow

The brides father is held as an
accessory, because he was pres
ent at the shooting and didn't try
to stop it.
Joe Lang, a hard-working
young man, the husband of "the
ugliest BRIDE" stoutly refuses to
believe that his wife of a day is
guilty of murder. "She was
crazy when she did it. The way
folks talked about her was
enough to drive anybody insane.
But Prosecutor NJ. L. Fansler
and Police Chief Morris are quite
sure they can convict "the ugly

PREACHER'P0ET
CAUSES SHOCK
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 10.-A.
Dimmitt, a Methodist preacher,
created a sensation in this city
by a sermon directed against
modern dress now popular with
women. A special portion of the
sermon was the quotation from
the pulpit of the following lines:
Little girl, you look SO small;
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear chemise or shirt?
Don't you wear a pretty skirt:
Just your corset and your hose?
Are these all your underclothes?
The poet ended with a predic-
tion that:
after a while, do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve"

sNo, these men are not DiablO
brothers of Ringpaugh's World S
Famous shows.
Nor is there great net spread
under them to hold them safe
should they lose their grasp OH
those thin steel strings.
Down underneath is II skeleton
of steel beams, and still further
Down, 200 feet, are the cold salt
waters of commencement bay.
These men are "Red" Newton,
''the daredevil of the new Eiev-
enth street bridge" and his fei-
low workman, Christ Cristenson.
Their perch is the cable bracing
on the viaduct that spans the
bay at 18th street.
They are only two of rs steel
workers and other mechanics who
are building Tacoma's big bridge.
{ There is Pat Twohy, who
stands aloft on a floor beam di-
recting this daily aerial perform
ance, watching the placing of
every beam and girder as the big
skeleton rears itself into the air.
There are Happy Harry Thomp-
son and Charley Walters, hoist
engineers; lex Matthews and A.
E. Johnson. No one of these has
made a bobble since the bridge
began, and a blunder would have
meant a workman plunged into
200 feet of sheer air-perhaps
death.
There is an army of rivetters
composed of two "gunmen,"
Ridge Ridgeway and S. Peterson;
Dusty Williams, who heats the
bolts and hurls them red and
whistIing to Whitley Connoway
and Charley Peterson, who In
turn pluck them from the air by
means of buckets. One by one
they are driven into place, the
rivetting guns" sending them
home, clutching together the
whole framework.
There's Peg" the utility man,
who lost one limb in fall years

out over the 200 feet of nothing

the wind swept up the bay, cut
ting cold. His antics in keeping
warm, noticed by the men high
up on the framework, reminded
them of bear.
And so the bridge grows, day
by day. On January 1 il will
be ready for traffic, and when the
throng passes over its paved floor
few of them will think of the
