months, returned to his home
in Stratford, Texas, Saturday.
Ford County Com missioners
were in Meade the first of the
week consulting with Meade
County Commissioners relative
to the bulldog of bridge near
the Way farm in the north part
of the county.
At the sale of the furniture
of Mrs. Nancy M. Hale, last Sat-
urday, shall gold pen was not
iced in one of the pitchers which
was to be sold, but when the
pitcher was sold, the pen was
missing, and it is supposed that
had fallen out and had
been picked up by some one.
The pen was the property of
Mrs. J. K. Roberts and was a
keepsake. She would much ap-
pretiate having the party who
found the pen return it to her or
leave it at this Office.
This week an incident came to
our notice which caused us TO
wonder. Rev. ]. N, Stamper
has an acre of ground leased. up
on which he raises feed for his
favorite COW, Jersey. One
day this week we. noticed Mr..
Stamper, who is more than so
years of age, cutting this feed,
and upon inquirey as to why he
had undertaken the task, he
replied that he was unable to get
any one to do it for him. Times
are certainly prosperous when
such conditions exist.

Vaccine to prevent the horse
disease now prevalent in severa
states will now be shipped int
the infected districts, free, BY
1.-THE Kansas Agricultural College
The field station of the college
at Hoxie, working night and day
is making the vaccine at the rate
of 5000 to 5000 doses every
twenty-four hours, OF 2,o3t
horses vaccinated at this station
with this vaccine, only nineteen
died. Two-fifths of the animals
vaccinated were from herds in
which many animals had died.
while we do not consider this
conclusive proof that the bacteriu
will prevent the disease in all
cases, we do believe that it will
be valuable in checking the
disease" said DIR. F. S. Schoen-
leber, State Veterinarian at the
Kansas Agricultural College.
DR.. Schoenleber, with ]. H. Mer-
GER, state live stock sanitary
commissioner, had just returned
from Hoxie. Their decision to
distribute the vaccine as rapidly
as possible was reached after
noting the results obtained with
the 1000 animals at Hoxie.
To get the vaccine a commun-
ity must select committee that
will be responsible for its proper
distribution and administration.
This committee must get the
services of competent veteri-
marian. The com mittee also
must agree to send full report
OF the results obtained with the
vaccine to the state veterinarian
at the college.
I'm communities where there
are no graduate veterinarians,
Mr.. Mercer, at Topeka, will
furnish qualified man," said
DR.. Schrenlebey. ut is very i'm
portant that the vaccine be ap-
piled by men who know their
business. When properly ap-
Piled it cannot injure a horse,
but if administered carelessly it
may do harm. 1t is necessary
that we make some restrictions
as to where we send the bacterin.
II we shouldn't, the ever present
CRATER would try to make money
from it. Orders should be sent

Having received the nomina-
ton for Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction at the August
Primary, Iwish to express my
gratitude to my friends for their
support and will appreciate
continuance Of their kind favors
at the November election.
In making this announcement
l feel that l am not a stranger to
the most of you, as the greater
part of my life has been spent in
Meade County.
am a woman, aud candidate
for this Office, for which I have
no apology to offer as it is a set
tied fact that the burden of
teaching, even in the most remote
districts of this county, has fall
en- upon the shoulders of the
women.
Of the fifty-six teachers EN-.
ployed in this county but ten are
men. -Four of these men are
teaching in the graded schools
leaving the schools in all but six
of the rural schools to be con.
ducted wholly by women, this
being the case, feel free to ask
your support as it is but justice
to recognize representative of
these teachers who are laboring
in the rural schools of this county
1t is not my intention to revo-
lutionize the whole educational
system of this county, while per-
haps it will be possible to i'm
prove upon some neglected lines
ofstudy, still believe our schools
in this county may be favorably
compared with any other schools
in the state.
/ believe the greatest defect in
our rural schools today is the
lack of preparation for the teach
ing of the primary grades and
am in favor of providing this
special instruction in our Normal
Institutes which are held in our
county each summer.
| believe this to be vitally i'm
portant as the educational

working in the territory where
the "horse disease" has been
doing its greatest damage, gath
cred in the Office Of Governor
Stubbs in answer to call ISSUED
by the governor. They discuss
ed the disease in all its phases.
Three conclusions were reached:
First-That the disease is
transmitted or carried by the
grass and water that the horses
have access to.
Second-That the vaccine de-
veloped by Prof. T. P. Haslam,
of the State Agriculture college
and his assistants, has been full
( ly tried out with good results.
Third-That none of the med
icinal cures offered have proven
successful.
Following out the first conclu.
sion set of recommendations
was worked out for the benefit
of horse owners. II is recon-
mended that all horses and mules
be taken off pasture until the di-
sease has disappeared from the
state. The disease has been
controlled in that manner, al
though the actual organism that
causes the disease has not been
definitely determined upon.
There were three men pres
ent from the government de-
partment-C. E. Griffin, veterln-
arian of the third field artilliary;
Chas Thorn, mycologlst of the
bureau of animal industry, and
H. Russman, veterinary inspect
or for the bureau of animal in.
/ dustry. They showed great in
terest in the recital by DR.. T.
P. Haslam of the Agricultural
college of his work in the field
laboratory established at Hoxie.
DR.. Haslam calls the disease
"Bona's disease" which has pre-
vailed in Germany and other
European countries for years.
He stated that he found the
same organism in the Kansas
subjects.
He was asked if he did not
think the disease was caused by
the mold on the grass.
whenever a local veterinari-
an is unable to diagnose a di-
sease," he replied, "he looks at
the feed of the animal and finds
mold. Then he attributes the
disease to the mold. There is
mold everywhere, ordinarily.
In order to get horse to eat
sufficient amount of mold to kill
him you would have to starve
him to il, and the horses this
year have not been starved. |
There has been plenty of forage
The pastures would have sup
ported many more horses than
have been on them"
The complete recommenda.
tons issued at the close of the
meeting follow:
1. That all horses and mules
be taken off pasture until the di-
sease disappears from the state.
2. Feed these animals limit.
ed quantity of clean dry hay or
straw, and clean sound grain.
Where straw is given, use a lib
eral supply of bran.
8. Avoid use of hay cut from
low or overflowed land or land
receiving drainage from pasture
or barnyard.
4. See that the horses have al
pure, wholesome water supply,
free from surface drainage and
that they are excluded from all
stagnant or surface water.
5. Empty, clean and thorough.

THEGAEKWARW WAS RUDE
Ac'uaIly Snubbed king-Emper-
or at indian Durbar.
Dressed Very UnceremoniousIy and

Bow in Doing Homage.

London, Jan. 2. - More light was
shed on the conduct of the Gaekwar
of Baroda at the recent durbar at Del
hi, when the king emperor took for
NAL possession of his Indian empire.
AS recent dispatches have told, the
Indian ruler, who ranks as one of the
foremost of Indian chiefs, actually
snubbed the king and queen when ii
came time for his recognition of their
rulership The Gaekwar is noted fol-
his unconventional doings; also he fig
ured week or so ago in a divorce
suit.
The advices received now state that
the Indian ruler was dressed in plain
white, more unceremonious than a
bearer" or butler Instead of bow
ing deeply three times in a backward
movement from the throne the Gaek
war gave curt nod to their majesties
and turned his back to them
Another dispatch stated that the In
dian ruler was made to apologize fol
his conduct

CHILD LOVE TRAGEDY
17-Year.0Id Boy Shoots Girl
OF Same Age.
Detroit Lad, Desperately in Love
with Young Woman, Then
Kills Himself.

Waverly, n V, Jan. "A seventeen
year-old boy shot girl Of his own
age, with whom he was in love, and
then blew his brains out in front Of the
First Presbyterian church here. The
girl was shot in the throat and is ~
ing in a serious condition in her home.
Young Darrell Lewis, who did the
shooting, was visiting his grandmoth-
er, who lives here, for the holidays.
The Lewis family comes from Detroit.
He met Nina Lawrence, who is one
of the leaders among the young people
here, last summer. Darrell fell in love
with the girl and they started a cor
respondence when the holidays were
over. After a few months, however,
her letters became less frequent and
although Darrell kept up his end, the
answers from the girl finally ceased
Then Darrell came on from Detroit
and was told by the girl that sire did
not care for him and never could.

Dairy Institute.

The lyast day of tht Farmers In
stitute is given over into the hands
of the State Dairy Association, with
Mr.. Samuel Schlosser in charge.
The meeting was held in the court
room Thursday, and the published
program was carried out. A large
number of interested farmers were
in attendance, and the discussion of
the various subjects brought out
much that is of special value to the
farmer who raisers stock, either for
the market, or for dairy purposes.
Formerly the keeping of a few
COWS was all that the farmer thought
of, but now dairying is a business.
and requires as much tact and fore
sight as any other branch of the
farming interest. The proper food
for cattle, in order to get the des
results. The care Of milk COWS
their pasture, stabling and general
handling. The reason why cream
tests vary, and other subjects we're
brought out and freely discussed.
The matter of improving the herd,
and the construction of the silo. with
the proper dimensions for various
numbers of cattle. All such matters
that could be of interest were before
the meeting, and the able men who
were here as speakers were made to
see that Marshall county farmers are
wide awake by the many questions
asked, which kept them thinking to
answer. Our people evidently want
to know. and therefore ask oues-
tions. Such meetings are full Of
interest, and we are clad to see the
interest manifested by our farmers
and others.

Please KNOCK on Wood"

The day after the great elevator
fire on July II, the fire bell rang
and the whistle blew, as fire was dis
covered in the Ross House. No
alarm has been sounded since tn n
until last evening about five O'Clock.
The call was to the home of Mr..
|Bogda, owned by Henry Kelver
corner of Plumb and jefferson streets
1t was really no fire at ALL Only
the heating apparatus was out Of
order or not managed properly, and
a volume of steam was escaping,
which in the gathering darkness was
mistaken for smoke, and the alarm
turned in. The fire department was
soon on the scene, and on learning
the nature of the scare returned to
the station.
On the lips Of hundreds of PIym
outh people was the warning
Look OUT 'sthis is only start
err" eve will get another soon.'
Some people think these fires come
In "threes" and when there is one
alarm there will be two more, and
one of them will be bic one. Those
who are just a little superstitious
In this respect are very apt to be
in another direction. so we. advise
all such to "knock on wood" and
perhaps the charm will be broken.
Meanwhile it would be well for the
Chief of the Fire Department to Sc.
that everything is in good order aud
ready for any emergency, for no one
knows when the next call will come.

Married Forty Years.

On January LIST, 1872, Noah v.
Hoover and Miss Alice McElrath
were united in the bonds of holy
matrimony by the Rev. Adam Apple
man, father of John Appleman,
whom most Plymouth people know.
The wedding took place at the old
McElrath home southwest of Plym-
outh, near Sligo, and the old house
is still standing, though in a dilapi-
dated condition. Mr.. Hoover lived
near the West school house, and
used to take great pains in blacki4g
his boots to visit his lady love.
After travelling on foot over the clay
hills to her home, he was often an
noyed at the condition they were in,
as he could hardly tell whether he
had any boots at all.
For forty years they have travel
ed the road of life together. That
they have had ups and downs during
this time, We may take as ce'
tainty. No life runs so smooth but
there are places where friction re-
tards the even flow. However, few
people know of any trouble that has
overtaken this worthy couple, and
they have lived happily all these
years.
They have reared six children, five
girls and one boy. Grin F. Hoover,
who is in the grocery business in
this city, Edith, who is Mrs. John
Leighton, Grace, who is now Mrs.
Ira DeMoss, both of whom live In
South Bend; Gladys, living at home,
Bertha who is bookkeeper at the
First National Bank, and Ina who is
at present in South Bend These
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover
are well respected, and honorable
citizens, and are a source of pleasure
to their parents. Very few people
have been blessed with a family
each of whom is worthy the esteem
of all.
AS Mr. and Mrs. Hoover look
back and view the years that are
past. they must find pure happiness
and qualification that they have been
permitted to rear a family such as
bear their name by right of birth.
Noah Hoover has been a business
man before the people of Plymouth
for all these years, and no man
stands higher in the scale of moral
worth than does he. He is a promi-
nent worker in the Reformed church.
and is looked up to by his church
and Sunday school as model for
the young. May Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover have many more years added
to these forty, and may they be as
full Of happiness and joy as have
the ones that are past.
