HORSE DISEASE CHARLES CITY
c. n. Winterink Has an Animal Sick
on Farm Near Bassett.

c. A. Winterink, a Charles City
liveryman states that the dread dis
ease which had worked such havoc
among horses in Kansas has made
it's appearance in this section and
that one of his livery horses was
now sick at the home of a farmer
two miles south of Bassett. The
trouble seems to start in the mouth,
said to be caused by the sting of an
insect, causing paralysis of the head
and throat. Should the paralysis
work directly upward into the head,
the horse soon dies, but should the
threat and neck be the subjects of
attack then the animal fingers for
several days and seems to die of
starvation, being unable to swallow.
Mr.. Winterink says that several
horses have died in this section with
in the past few days, very suddenly
and without apparent reason, and
that he does not doubt but that the
new disease is causing the trouble.
Mr.. Winterink declares that the
strange malady is not communicable
from one horse to another even in
the same stable. Should the sting
ing insect infect the premises in
large numbers, then, of course, the
more danger awaits the horses found.

COURT HAS 1000 CASES.
September i'm Blackhawk County
Term Has Largest Docket of
Any Month i'm its History.

Waterloo, SIP. 23.-District court
opened last week for the September
term, and the calendar contains more
than 1000 cases, the largest ever
known in the county. Because
Judge Ransier is still at work as
one of the appraisers of the DeS
Moines waterworks, Judge Pratt
holds court.
Among the bills are forty or more
against practically the same defend
ants, Thomas Cascaden, Jr., the
Cascaden Reality Co., and others.
These actions are to foreclose pied
ges and on promissory notes, and the
aggregate sum asked is about $140,-
600. The suits are brought mainly
by banks in Iowa, Illinois and Min
nesota, and the obligation are secured
by pledges and corporation stock.
Mr.. Cascaden died few weeks ago.
Twenty-Five actions for divorce have
been instituted for the term.

Asks $4,000 Damages.

West Union, Ia, Sept. ga very
important trial will come up for
hearing at this term of the district
court. Mrs. Carrie Duggan has
asked damages of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway company
in the sum of $4,000, on account
of the death of her husband, William
p. Duggan. He was killed on Nov.
22nd, last by a train. The rail
road and the wagon road near where
the accident occurred, parallel for
quite a distance. At some parts OF
this drive neither the track nor a
train can be seen. In the papers on
file the allegation is made that the
train was running at a high rate of
speed, was not under control, and
there were no signals given of its ap-
proach to the crossing. Mr.. Duggan
had driven on the track when struck
by the engine and was killed.

MAY HAVE BRIDGE SCANDAL.
Board of Supervisors Won't Let TX
perts Look Over County Books.

Maquoketa, Sept. 23.-Citizens in
this county are up in arms over what
they think is bridge scandal sim
liar to that unearthed in Clinton and
Des Moines, and have asked the court
to order on investigation.
The action of the board of SUI
pervisors refusing to appropriate
money for part of $500 to hire ex-
perts to look oyer the books of the
county, has caused the citizens to
become angry, and they have asked
the grand jury to make thorough
probe of the business affairs of the
supervisors.
A petition, signed by 325 heavy
taxpayers, demanding an invcstiga-
ton, was presented to the grand jury
by former Supervisor Pearson OF
Miles and R. S. Roake of Green
Island.
The grand jury was willing to in
vestigate the supervisors, after their
refusal, but the supervisors refused
to be investigated.

Boy Loses Foot in Mower.

Griswold, Ia, Sept. 23.-While
cutting cane near his house with a
mower yesterday forenoon, Ed Babb
residing three miles south of Girls
void, allowed the blade of the mower
to come in contact with the right
limb of his 5-year old son, completely
severing the child's foot just above
the ankle. The little boy had run
out to where his father was at work,
and was standing at the corner of the
cane patch, and the father did not
see him until the terrible accident
had happened. Physicians from Girls
void were hurried to the Babb home,
and everything was done to care for
the injured child.

After Makers of Bad Coin.

Vinton, Ia, Sept. 23.LIn the ar
rest of Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Kelley, of
this place, the United States officials
believe that they will secure traces
of a mill for the manufacture of
counterfeit money. Marion county
is being secured in a thorough man
ner in an effort to locate the mill,
but as yet the officers have been un-
successful. The Kelleys are being
held in jail at Marion to await the
attention of the federal grand jury.
Mrs. Kelley was arrested last week
and arraigred on charge of passing
counterfeit money. Kelley was ar
rested two weeks ago at Waterloo
and several counterfeit half dollars
found in his pockets resulted in his
being held on a more serious charge
than that of drunkenness. Many
spurious dollars, halves and quarters
have been passed in this county of
late and the lack of the required
amount of silver is easily discernible.

SCHOLARSHIP APPRECIATED.
Three Hundred Students at State
University Have Tuition Free.

Iowa City, Ia, Sept. 23.-Three
hundred students in the University
of Iowa profit by free scholarships
this year.
When the university opened to-
day there were fifteen per cent of the
students having their tuition paid
through the generosity of the state
and wealthy philanthropists.
There are four classifications of
these scholarships-the honor schol-
arships, the Whitney Carr scholar
ships. the Henry Strong scholar
ships and the county scholarships.
According to the preliminary esti-
mates of the figures there will be
175 honor scholars, seventy-five Carr
scholars, forty county scholars and
four or five Strong scholars.
The state grants the honor schol-
arships while the money to pay the
tuition of the Carr scholarships and
the Strong scholarships are paid
from the estates of those wealthy
men who had the good of education
at heart.
Honor scholarships are given to
high school seniors who are most eff
ticient among the best students in
their graduating class. However,
class rank is not the only consider
alton. The Whitney Carr scholar
ships are for the benefit of poor
and worthy young men and women
who are unable to educate them
selves without aid. The Strong
scholarships are upon the same
basis.

BUILDS BEAN CRIB.
Iowa Farmer Has Sixty Acres In
Navy Beans-Worth $500
A Bushel.

Clear Lake, Ia, Sept. 23.-Build-
ing a bean crib is something new in
Iowa. Dat bins, hay mows and corn
cribs have all had their place in the
language of Iowa, but bean crib
is new and novel. Sam Kennedy is
building a crib of this kind, the di-
mansions being 20x22 feet, and he
expects to have at least one thousand
bushels of beans to store away in it.
He will commence threshing out the
crop just as soon as the weather
dries. He has sixty acres of fine
navy beans and he does not expect
to sell them for less than $500 per
bushel. He expects that the crop
will average him between fifteen and
to bushels per acre.

Why We Rap on Wood.

The superstition of rapping on
wood when one has been betrayed
into boasting of special bit of luck,
like immunity from illness, etc., is
of German origin. The raps were
supposed to drive away evil spirits
vexed by Wanted happiness or any
piece of good fortune.
The three raps originally signified
the three persons of the Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and the
necessity for rapping on wood was
because that was the material of the
cross.
