pected, the best thing to do is to cab
in some person competent to judge.
1t is a great mistake to get excited
and buy certain serums, as some of
the serums have been known to in
troduce cholera into herds rather
than cure it.
State Makes Good Serum.
The state OF Minnesota makes a
good serum, which it sells at cost,
and other safe serums can be Sc
cured, but the advice of a competent
person shodid be taken in buying,
and also in administering, or all of
the benefit of a good serum will be
lost. 1t is useless TO try to save
hogs sick with cholera, but all well
hogs should be vaccinated with the
serum All farmers in a neighbor-
hood where cholera has appeared,
and even where it has not yet APP
peared, are advised to vaccinate their
hogs at once with state serum, ii
it can be procured
Serum Has Been Ordered.
1t was decided by the advisory
committee to order some serum from
the state at once, to be kept on
hand by the secretary of the club,
for use of farmers wishing it. 1t is
necessary to put in an order two or
three weeks ahead to get it, as the
supply does not nearly equal the de-
al, Mill al OF nafn
cost.
1t is intended to start the regular
monthly meetings of the entire club
very soon, following the plan that
proved so successful last winter and
spring of having a supper in connec-
tion. Due announcement will be
made of the first meeting.

Danger Of Mob Violence in Mary

CHESTERTOWN, Md. December 30
The excitement which attended the pro-
ceedings of the grand jury at work on
the James r. Coleman murder case yes
terday had entirely disappeared when the
jury resumed its labors this morning.
Presentments against Mabel and PARA
way charging them with the murder of
Coleman We're returned by the grand
jury shortly before the court took a
recess for luncheon. 1t was expected
that indictments would follow early in
the afternoon session.
The grand jury failed to find sufficient
evidence to warrant holding Thomas
Blake, third negro suspected of COM
p'icity in the crime.
The authorities maintained a vigiiant
guard about the Jail all night but there
was no outburst. as was feared might
occur. because of the failure of the grand
jury to render it's verdict yesterday. and
this morning the town had resumed it's
normal aspect, in marked contrast to the
scenes of yesterday. when throngs OF
men surged about the county buildings,
muttering ominouS threats against the ac-
clsed il a speedy trial of their cases was
not assured.

STRIKE IS NOT EXPECTED.
Agreement Between Telegraphers
and Frisco Railroad Deemed Likely.

ST. LOUIS. December 3O.-With the re-
sumption of negotiations between the re-
ceivers of the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco (Frisco) railroad and the grievance
committee of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers here today a compromise
was looked for which would dispel all
thoughts of the threatened strike of LOO
telegraphers employed by the road.
The main subjects under discussion to-
day were the number of hours and work
ing conditions, the question Of salary in
crease having been compromised yester-
day From the statements of both re-
ceivers and telegraphers the negotiations
are pleasant" and peace seems assured.
The situation was summed up by Fl. p.
Perham. president of the telegraphers'
organization. The Frisco officials he
said. naturally are doing all they can
to avert the strike without granting con-
cessions asked. The officials of the teleg-
raphers are doing all they can to get
the demands granted without calling a
strike There is no i'll feeling toward the
receivers. They are only doing their
duty
