SENATE PASSED THE TARIFF
MEASURE, AZ TO 81 VOTE

Washington, Sept. 10.--The DEM
ocratic tariff revision bill passed the
senate by vote of A to 81 amid a
burst of applause that swept down
from crowded galleries and found its
echo on the crowded floor of the SEN

Its passage was attended with sur
prises in the final moments of the
voting when Senator La Toilette, Re-
publican, cast his vote with the
Democrats and was joined few mo,

were greeted with applause.
President Wilson expressed graft

F armers Should Use Precaution
In Purchase of Serum; Meet
ing Of Advisory Board Was
Held This Morning to Discuss
Methods to Stay Disease
Should It Become Prevalent
Hereabouts; Plans Prepared.

Should hog cholera break out in
this vicinity, prompt measures Will
be taken to suppress the disease.
A meeting of the advisory committee
of the Mankato Commercial club was
held this forenoon to take time by
the forelock and be prepared to as
sist Blue Earth county farmers in
case hog cholera should get into the
county. 1t was reported that the dis
ease is working northward from
Iowa and is to be found in counties
to The south and west of this county,
and that 1t has crossed the line into
the south part of the county. In
view of this fact, and the further
fact that it is liable to spread north
ward before freezing weather gives
it a setback, it was thought best to
commence a campaign of education.
Many farmers understand how to
cope with hog cholera, but others
do not, and for the benefit of these
DIR. d. r. Philip, who is a member of
the club and was present at the
meeting, has given the following in.
the nature of counsel for all farmers
who are interested:
Should Divide the Herd.
Upon the approach of hog cholera
to a neighborhood, it is best to di-
vide the herd, so that not more than
twelve or fifteen head should be in
the same pasture, and the further
the pastures are apart the less chance
there will be for Infection. At any
rate, there should be some space be-
tween the pastures, as the hogs can
communicate the disease through a
fence. 1t is best to get new fencing
rather than move any of the old
after cholera gets into pasture.
Dogs should be kept tied up, as
farmers dogs have tendency to rur
through the hog pastures and take
the infection to neighboring pastures.
Pigeons are carriers of the disease
throughout an entire neighborhood
and should be killed. Dog proof
fences would afford some protection
Feed Hogs Disinfectants.
In view of the near approach of the
cholera, it would be well for the
farmers of this county to feed disin-
fectants to their hogs from now on,
and pure water should be supplied
in each pasture, not leaving the hogs
to get water from mudholes. Among
the disinfectants that can be fed are
carbOlic acid enc or two ounces he
ing we'll mixed through a half bar
rel of slop and fed three or four
times week. Any of the coal tar
products are also good disinfectants
Formaldehyde can be used in the
same way as carbolic acid and in the
same proportion, or I've can be used
in the same way and proportion.

COULD ENLARGE YARD
CUTOUT BRIDGE Span
This Scheme Looks Quite Good
To Judge Lorin Cray
DIG SAND OUT OF RIVER BED
DIG SAND OUT OF RIVER BED
Something Must Be Done to Give the
Companies More Rail Room
In Mankato

Since the idea was advanced a
short time ago of filing up the Min
nesofa river bed as far out as the
ttrst pier of the bridge in order to
make more yard room for the
Omaha and Northwestern rail
road companies, the proposition has
been given serious thought by sew,
eral gentlemen here, and it is only
question of time when some one
is going to make some experiments
and find out for certain whether the
plan would be feasible. Judge Lor-
in Cray, chairman of the CONNER
cial club committee which was ap-
pointed to consider the building of a
new bridge across the river, says
that the plan looks practicable to
him. Engineering feats of this
kind with much more doubtful re-
suits have been accomplished be-
FORE" said he this morning, land
have been successful. l believe, it
could be done, and there is no doubt
that something of this kind must
be done"
Must Have Enlargement.
Mankato is growing and will keep
on growing, and it is to be expected
that as the population increases, the
amount of freight shipped in and
out of the city will increase, and
this will necessitate more yard room
for switching Railroad authorities
agree that if some enlargement can
not be made here, great deal of
switching could be done at Kasota,
and Mankato as whole does not
want to see this time arrive.
There has been an objection raised
that if the river bed were lowered
enough to provide, filing for the
side along the railroad yards, the
river would fill up again in few
seasons with the sediment that is
carried by the current
Sand Could Be Removed.
1t is admitted that if the bed
were deapened the current could be
little more sluggish, and the sedi-
ment, deposits would result, but it
must be remembered that this sand
could be hauled out every summer,
and in fact it is being hauled
out, and the water in the
river is being gradually lowered
as the years roll on simply
by the removal of the sand for build.
ing purposes. 1t is also a known
fact that North American rivers are
not so deep nor do they rise SO
high as they did in former times.
Engineers believe that the Missis.
sippi river is lower now than it was
last year, and that it has been grad
ually getting lower and lower every
year for great many years. The
Minnesota river, it is believed, will
never be as high as it formerly was
and the danger of overflow will de,
crease every year.

he disturbed vast swarms of flies.

Everything is in readiness. From
the establishment and fitting up a
rest room for the women and chill
dren to the preparation of the race
track, no detail which will make
the Mankato fair enjoyable has been
neglected. The superintendent and
their assistants have been busy at
the grounds all day today receiving
entries and the exhibitors have been
arranging beautiful displays in. floral
hail.
The entries this year will exceed
all former years, from the estimates
this afternoon, and the grade of all
entries, horses, cattle, farm products,
women's department articles, and i'll
fact all classes, are of unusually
high grade. Six carloads of cattle
have been listed and are housed in
large tents west of the hog house.
Forty-three stalls were occupied by
horses this noon. The number of en-
tries in sheep, cattle, chickens, etc,
is CORRESPONDENCE large.
Rest Room Feature.
One of the special features of the
fair is the rest room. The caretaker's
residence has been arranged for this
purpose with beds, chairs and all
necessary equipment and trained
nurse will be in charge. Mothers will
find it an enjoyable place to rest
and they are urged to leave their
children there with the nurse while
they visit the exhibits. This is an
innovation this year, and is a most
welcome and much needed one.
The grounds are in the best of con-
dition, all weeds have been cut and
taken away, the trees have been trim
med, and there is general air OF,
cleanliness and neatness. The race
track is in the finest condition it
has ever been in, and some fast races
are looked for.
