EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES
Over 1000 Cases in the City
During February.

An epidemic of measles now has this city
in its grip. according to tho Department OF
Health During the month OF February
alone there were 4,219 cases reported. as
compared with 1,5s2 for the corresponding
period In 1911. There have also been a
large number Of chickenpox cases. the total
number reported in February. 1912, being
.2s5. as compared with 6o5 for the same
month last year
This is the time Of the year when con-
tagious diseases are most prevalent in the
city. One reason ascribed for 1t 10 the
fact that people have been breathing IN
door air all winter, and many children have
been confined to much greater extent
than In other seasons of the year.
The total number OF contagious disease
cases reported in February was 9,16i, as
compared with 6.22o for February. 1911
Diphtheria and scarlet fever, however
have shown a decrease as compared with
the corresponding time last year There
were 2,2n cases Of diphtheria, as against
1.2sO in the previous February, while there
were l,545 cases of scarlet fever, as against
2,01s for February, 1911.
The measles epidemic is much moro
noticeable in Manhattan than In the other
boroughs. There were 2,O65 cases last
month, as against $40 in February, 1911
While measles itself is not disease great
Iy to be feared, complications which often
appear with it cause the death rate from
that malady TO be high in New York. II
was said at the department. Another rea-
SON for the death rate from that disease Is
because a large part of the cases are
treated in hospitals, where the children
suffering from it do not feel the same about
their surroundings as when at home.

using clean ground and seed for the
present.
New clean ground has been in
fected by diseased seed and pota-
toes shipped fairly sound are arrtv-
ing at the big markets rotten and
unfit for human food. Some idea
of the serious situation can be
gathered when it is said that Pro-
fessors Bennett and Gillette frankly
say that the resources of the col
lege are not sufficient to cope with
the situation alone and that govern
ment aid must be invoked as we'll
as that OF the farmers.
Professor Fitch, who has done
good. earnest work. very much OF
it with his own money, has gone to
the Wisconsin college to put in a
winters study on the pathologicai
and biological side OF the subject. In
fact, it may be said that those who
know most feel the need of serious
work most strongly. This is no
light matter. Districts which for
merly furnished heavy tonnage are
showing disease the worst. but no
section is free from trouble and no
one knows when the havoc will be
arrested.

Potato Growing Conditions Noted
BY Agricultural Expert Of Post

(IIord Ogilvy in the Denver Post)
A meeting was held in Greeley to
consider measures to combat the
potato diseases which threaten the
great potato industry.
Eugene Grubb read a letter from
DIR. Galloway, pointing out the ne
cessity OF investigation of the di-
sease of potatoes and sugar beets
which were curtailing western pro-
duction.
The government has a large acre
age under reclamation projects
which ia directly affected by any
changes detrimental to crops under
irrigation.
Along this line DR.. Lory pointed
out that our soils presented an en-
tirely different problem from those
in the East and that whilst far more
fertile and unleached. they become
subject to much greater bacterial
action when irrigated or even turn

DIES BY
own HAND
A. HENNESSY, FARMER, SHOOTS
HIMSELF IN HEAD AT DAY.
LIGHT DESPONDENT OVER
MONEY TROUBLES

Ault, Nov. S-Al Hennessy, who
lived on the Law farm a mile and
a half west of Ault, shot himself in
the right temple at daylight this
morning with a 3S-caliber revolver
and died almost instantly.
The cause of Hennessy's act is
not known, but it is believed that
1t was due to despondency over his
financial condition, which is said to
have been somewhat distressing for
the last two years. His wife said
that he had been acting strangely
or some time, and that he had car
ried the revolver almost constantly
and acted as if afraid of something.
This leads to the belief that his
mind was slightly unbalanced. Yes
terday he complained of having a
severe headache. This morning at
daylight Mrs. Hennessy asked him
If she had not better get up and
build the fire, but he said that he
was feeling better and would do so.
He went out to the kitchen and
built the fire. Then she heard a
shot and when she reached his side
he was in his death struggles and
died few moments later before the
physician who was called arrived.
Mr. Hennessy had been living in
the vicinity of Ault for several
years. Last fall, in financial dis
tress, it is said, he deserted his
crop on the Geo. Deffke farm north
Of Ault. leaving the landlord and his
creditors to step in and take what
was left on the farm. Then last
spring he returned again to Ault
and started up again, locating on the
Law farm. where he has lived since,
apparently getting along we'll, al
though it is said that he has been
pressed at times by creditors. He
formerly worked west of Eaton.
Hennessy was some where near
forty years old. He leaves a wife
and three children. one about six
years old, one about five and a
three-months-old baby

For months Greeley citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Greeley residents. Would these
prominent people recommend b

shown the remedy to be worthy of

SMALL WRECK
DELAYS BEETS

Windsor. Nov. S-Shlpments OF
beets were delayed for about day
recently when four cars on the
Great Western line were thrown on
the track near the c. 4 S. crossing
here at the Hanna farm. The track
was torn up for a distance Of about
200 feet.
The wreck was believed to have
been caused by a broken f1ange on
car wheel just behind the engine
tender. the broken piece being car
ried along until it struck the frog
at the crossing. The train was
slowing down for the crossing. a
fact which probably prevented more
serious results.
There were three ears loaded with
beets and one loaded with spuds IN
the four that were ditched. Ono Of
the beet cars contained As tons OF
beets, which were being brought in
from Severance.
