DAN PATCH EXTENDING.
Cars Run Over Great Western Rails
to Fairbault Marks Beginning of
Second Stage of Extension.

At o'clock last Monday morning
the first car of the Dan Patch line
was run over the Great Western road
to Faribault and at 1925 the first
scheduled car came through North
field on it's way from Faribault to
Minneapolis. The event marked the
beginning of the second stage in the
extension of the line.
For several days previous to the
completion of the cutoff connecting
the main line with the Great West
ern, work had been rushed forward
with feverish speed On Sunday
teams and men were worked so thick
ly on the short remaining stretch in
the north part of town, that they had
hardly room tC turn. In spite of a
vexatious delay in the arrival of the
last car of steel, the last rail was put
in place during the night and III tine
morning the line was ready for traf-
fic.
Six cars of the Dan Patch line are
now run each way every day.

The DEBORAH Hospital,

The DEBORAH hospital committee
held three meetings last week, for
discussion of the hospital PROPOSE
ton and for inspection of the vari-
Gus sites offered for hospital purpos-
es. The committee is of the opinion,
and this appears also to be shared
by the people generally, that if pos
sible an entirely new building should
be erected. Consequently, sufficient
time will be taken before definitely
deciding the matter to make thor
Ough investigation and ascertain just
what is possible TO be done in this
respect While there are a number
of good residence properties offered
for sale that might be remodeled in
to fairly good hospital building,
yet it is the general opinion that a
new building will be more practical
and feasible, even Though it may ne
necessary, with the amount OF money
on hand, to start on a modest scale.
IL a new building is decided upon, IL
will be constructed SO that additions
may be easily made in case they
should be needed

are thankful that the disaster is no
worse
Everybody here has known for
years that any person risked life
and limb in riding on this branch.
By long succession of freight wrecks
sometimes as many as four in one
week, ample and repeated warnings
have been given that a passenger
wreck, involving danger to auman
life, might reasonably be expected
at any time. No man could set his
heel in the ties and see the rotten
wood fly into bits without knowing
that there was nothing more sub
stantial to hold the rails in place
than special providence.
The section foremen were not Civ
en- men or material The trainmen
took their lives in their hands and
made the schedules-when they
could. The public complained and
joked about it, but year after year
life was risked and nothing was
done. And now in characteristic
American fashion we seek a remedy
when we should have insisted on pre-
vention.
There. was not railroad man con-
nected with the Rock Island lines.
from the section laborer up, who did
not know that the operation of
trains over such a line was danger
Gus to human life. The employees
were practically helpless in the mat
ter. Somewhere up the line somebo-
dy is chargeable with deliberate fail
ure to guard against loss of life. II
other railroad companies all over
Iowa and the other states are equally
negligent that does not relieve the
seriousness of this case. Somebody
is guilty Of manslaughter-or of a
more serious crime. The moral re-
sponsibility for killing people is
there-we think a legal responsible
ity also. 1t is probable that men
who ought to have been making a
great railroad system serve the pub
lie have been using it as a mere
counter in Wall street gambling
game.
The victims cannot be brought
back from the grave, but the travel
ing public still living can be protect
ed, and perhaps guilt can be fixed
where it belongs. There is work
for the Fayette county grand jury
to do, and there is chance for the
Iowa railroad commission to show
that it represents the public inter
ests. Blood cries from the ground.

MORAN KNOCKS OUT PALZER.
Pittsburgh Heavy-Weight Stops Win
neshiek County Hope i'm Seven
Rounds.

Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh
knocked out AL Palzer
of this county in the seventh round
of their scheduled ten-round bout
In New York City last Wednesday.
Moran started to force the fight
ing from the beginning, playing with
left hooks for the head, while Pal
ger tried hard for the body. Both
missed several blows, but Moran did
the most damage. In this as well as
in all the succeeding rounds Moran
had the better of the fighting
In the second round he opened up
cash over Palzer's left eye with a
right hook, and in the third, after
delivering left jolt under the jaw,
he sent lefts and rights to the law,

Grand Opera House Fair Week.

When a theatrical attraction can
play the same territory year after
year to business that tests the ca
pacity of theatres, there must be
some reason other than mere luck
1t must possess merit. The Van
Dyke & Eaton Co., holds a record
that is unequaled in popular pricec
amusements. Always presenting
the latest plays, the best specialtieS
and the highest salaried company
in repertoire, its success is greater
today than ever. The list of plays
for this season embrasses a number
of new successes that will be oeel
for he first time at popular prices

sending Palzer down for a count of
eight.
In the fourth Palzer still played
for the body and threw his whole
weight on Moran's shoulder trying
to reach him, but Moran shook him
off with left-hand body blows. In
the fifth Moran hooked right and left
smashes on the face. In the sixth
Moran, with two rights to the jaw
in succession, knocked Palzer down
again.
Moran rushed matters in the sew
enth round, and after feinting with
his left, drove his right to the point
of the jaw and Palzer reeled and fell
nat on his face and was counted out.
The time of the last round was ex-
actly twenty seconds.

CLOSE SCHOOLS
People May Decide Questions at
Annual or Special Meetings.

If the school electors of a district
desire TO close the school aud send the
children TO another district or dis
tricts, they may decide TO do so at an
annual or special meeting. In this
way,tae district organization is MAIN
tanned and the primary money is not
forfeited. Heretofore action OF this
kind could be taken only at the ann
ual meeting but the recent legislature
amended the act. All school electors
whether voters because they are tax
payers or the parents or guardians OF
children on the cencus list may vote
on this question.
Educators INSIST that satisfactory
SCHOOL cannot be maintained with less
than ten pupils aud urge districts
which can conveniently send their
children elsewhere To close their
schools with small enr0llments. The
board may pay their tuition and tran
spurtatlon, If necessary, out Of any
money on hand, except library money
and may vote q tax for such purpose.
Attorney General Grant Fellows
rules that ifthe electors vote to close
their school after the board has hired
q teacher for the next year, the dis
trict cannot be held TO the contract.

HOG CHOLERA GERM DISEASE
continued from Page |, End Section.

toms of the disease are effective pre-
yentatives. In most cases found in
the county vaccination has been given
! too late and in many cases the dose
OF serum given was too small. Forty
c. c. for hundred pound hog. sixty c.
&C. for two hundred pound hog and
ninety c. c. for three hundred pound
hog should be given
| Before vaccination the skin should
be thoroughly cleansed and disinfect-
ed and the same precautions should
always be taken with the instruments
used, and finally care should be eXer-
cised to prevent infection in the
wound from the needle by dust or
mud Iodine used on the skin just
before inserting the needle and again
after the needle is removed is effect
i've. Care should be taken, too, in
keeping the bottle of serum constant
ly covered to prevent access of dust
or other foreign PARTICLES.
Be sure to get good serum. Here
we have been handicapped this year
for it has been impossible to get
enough good serum. The government
is now inspecting plants which manu-
facture serum and we are cautioned
to look for the government stamp OF
approval on the label of each bottle
of serum. Be sure to use sanitary
precautions in administering the Sc
rum. Give plenty of serum and be
sure to. vaccinate at first warning
that cholera symptoms are present.
| The double method commonly called
the simultaneous method where the
virus is given at the same time the
serum is given but in a different part
of the body and from different
needle produces longer immunity
than the serum alone Use of serum
alone should immune hogs anywhere
from three weeks to sixty days. The
simultaneous method will in most
cases give permanent immunity. In
several thousand cases handled by
Dr.. Stouder he reports that his loss
! in using the simultaneous method has
been not more than two per cent.
Greater knowledge OF serum and the
disease, enforced inspection of all
serum plants, with added precautions
in vaccinating will do much in COM
batting hog cholera. Any disease as
deadly as the hog cholera cannot be
successfully controlled by Tom, Dick
and Harry without some knowledge
of the disease and the remedy. In al
most every community there are COM
petent veterinarians who can do the
vaccnating when it is possible to Sc
cure the serum. 1t is probable that
in another year plenty of serum can
be made to meet the demand.
