To Make Hog Cholera Serum.

Madison.-To prevent the great
losses from hog cholera of last year
being duplicated during the coming
summer, the regents of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have authorized the
veterinary department of the College
of Agriculture to manufacture hog
cholera serum. Sufficient serum can
be produced, it is expected, to meet
the ordinary demands and thus give
Wisconsin farmers an opportunity to
protect their animals with serum at
reasonable price. The veterinary de-
partment is prepared to furnish in
structions for the checking Of any
outbreak of hog cholera epidemics

Washed Away the Hills.

In building both Seattle and Port
land 1t was necessary to remove from
the face of the earth several stable
hills. This work was done, for the
most part, by hydraulic power. That
is, the hills, composed mostly OF dirt,
were washed away by powerful
streams OF water. At Portland. Ore.
electrical power, driving huge centrif-
ugal pumps. lifted water from Guilds
lake 400 feet uphill and hurled 1t
through 411inch nozzles against the
great piles of dirt and gravel. In this
way the hills were washed away much
quicker and cheaper than they could
be cut up and carted away with steam
shovels and dirt trains.

PASTOR IS EXECUTED
CLARENCE V. 7: RlcHEsoN ELEc
TROcuTED SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT TUESDAY.
MINISTERS ARE WITH HIM
Doomed Man Does Not Falter and
Walked to Chair With Firm Step
and Every Outward Sign of Calm
ness.

Massachusetts State Prison, Charles
town, Mass, May 22-At 1910 Tues
day morning, in the Charlestown state
prison, former clergyman Clarence v.
T. Richeson paid the penalty for the
murder of Avis Linnell by being cleo
trocuted
The condemned man walked to the
electric chair with more firmness and
courage than had been expected by
those who had observed him for the
past few weeks. He had spend his last
hours in seeking spiritual consolation
in the Bible and in conversation with
his spiritual advisers, who were In al
most constant attendance up to the
last moment
Prison Chaplain Stebbins and Dr.,
Johnson had a nerve-racking expert
ence with the condemned man before
they succeeded in having him resign
himself to his fate
Only when they had reminded him
that he was once minister and ought
to show a sublime faith in the here
after did the man announce that he
was ready to face the ordeal of legal
death without finching. Before this
he had exclaimed:
1T is terrible / cannot stand it.
They will have to carry me-"
Afterward, however, he seemed to
take the attitude that it was his duty
to the church to be brave. Under the
influence of that attitude he bore up
remarkably well, although there were
periods when outbreaks occurred.
In hotel near the Charlestown Jail
was Douglas Richeson, brother of
the condemned man, who had come
here from Chicago. A lawyer asked
him to go and say farewell to his
brother He said he was ready. The
lawyer sent word to the condemned
man. who cried:
Il can't! l can't! Douglas had best
not come here. could stand it, but
he might break down."
The solemn hour of midnight found
Richeson praying, after which he re-
cited the Twenty-third Psalm. He
seemed to find consolation in this part
of the psalm:
Yea. though l walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, l will
fear no evil, for Thou are with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort
me-"
Il am ready now" he said
A moment later the warden APP
peared to escort him to the death
chamber. Richeson did not falter,
and walked to the chair with firm step
and every outward indication of calm
ness and resignation.

HAS CHANCE TO COME BACK
H6ili" Belvin, Manipulation of Stocks,
Returns to Broadway After
Workhouse Term.

''Bill' Belvin was released from the
workhouse the other day, sober for
the first time in years, with fat on his
ribs from good food, and muscle on his
limbs that had been placed there by
honest work. Bill" is SO years old.
but he is as sound in body as colt.
He says he is going to try TO come
back
A few months ago Belvin was a
familiar figure in the Waldorf's CORR
doris. Then he was supposed to be a
very rich man. He had been very rich
at one time, without doubt. Some of
the things he had done were credit
able. He had manipulated stocks in
a small way, and sold stocks in enter
prises that were not precisely doubt
full, but which had not yet been
proved
Sometimes Belvin's stocks proved
goo3 investments. More often they
did not. But all the time Belyin made
a profit
II made SO much money that lost
my sense of proportion" he admits.
Things were never as good as they
seemed to me. Then everything went
to pieces 1t seemed sudden to me,
but the way had been prepared. I was
a ruined man long before l realized
the fact"
He went to pot in a matter of weeks.
In the heyday of prosperity he had
not troubled to be very kindly to those
he met. His word had not always
been as good as his bond. A good
many people owed bill" Belvin a lab
with a knife. So that almost before
he knew 1t he was on the streets, beg
ging. He begged for drink money.
He could drug his memory with booze.
Intoxicated, he could plan campaigns
for the future and forget the present.
He was arrested at the corner of
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue,
where the Waldorf stands.
On that corner Belvin had stood
many sunny afternoon swinging his
cane, pleasantly awash with wine, his
pockets filled with money, to watch
the feminine parade go by. No one
rame to his relief when he was tried
as mendicant, although it furnished
a good story for the papers. No one
cared
Il can see now" said Belvin, that 1t
really pays to be honest, and tell the
truth, and play fair. / can see that it
doesn't pay to drink, and run around
with women. | can see that 1t pays to
earn the respect of men, and to give a
mint value to your word. l wonder if
1t Is too late?"-New York Letter to

Within four years one out of every
six of these found a grave in the
south or returned only to be laid TO
rest in the quiet of Gods acre on
the hillsides and praries of the north.
For fifty years, since the warfare
ceased, the grand army OF the dead
has been constantly recraiting from
the grand army of the living, until
now but few remain personally to
remind US of the heroism Of that
crisis.
1T is most fitting that the living
who inherit he glory and reap the
rich rewards such warfare has
wrought shall devote one day each
year to honor the memory of those
who have answered the last roll call.
But as the nation mourns its sol
der and sailor dead, families, too,
mourn loved ones, gone never to re-
turn. While veterans plant the flag
of our country on the graves of their
comrades and children bring their Of
fering of flowers, it is a fitting time
for families also to visit the last rest
ing place of their departed and Of
fer tokens cs their affection for
them.
I'm accord, therefore, with the
long established and commendable
usage, !, Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin. here
