War in the East Goes On in
Furious Conflict, and Both
Sides Claim Victories

London. Eng, Oct. 1.-THE con-

than 1t did two days ago. Then Gen.
Won Kluck appeared dangerously
threatened by the enveloping move

er, having obtained from an unknown
quarter heavy reinforcements, appar.

tempting to outfank the French and
British lines.
The counter stroke is viewed here
as the supreme feature in the situa-
ton in the western theater of the
war, and its full significance can be
gagged only by the actors, who only
are privileged to witness the drama
in which they are engaged.
simultaneously with his newly
tauicheu turning movement, Gen.
Won Kluck has been trying to cut
through the center of the allies ex-
tended left at Lassigny. The official
French communication says that this
attempt was foiled, but il is not
doubted that the effort will be re-
newed and in the event of success it
would compel the left wing of the
French army to retire towards the
coast in order to escape the German
lines stretching out from the north
and east. The fighting in this neigh
borhood, described in the French
official report as more and more
violent" must. it is believed. reach
to Antwerp and largely influence the
fate of that fortress.

EDITORS ARE HUMAN

We often wonder IL IL has occurred
to some people that editors are hu.
man, and not super-beings gifted
with second sight.
An editor is constantly on the hunt
for news of interest to the people
who read and pay for his paper, and
he never Intentionally omits All ar.
ticle Of any Importance.
The 81. cess of his paper depends
upon his impartiality in this respect.
And yet often some person con-
ceives the erroneous idea that the
editor has purposely left out some
item concerning them or their fam
lilies.
Has it never occurred to them that
the editor may not have herd of that
particular item, although he searched
diligently in his efforts to secure all
of the news?
There is a very effective remedy
for these isolated but inadvertant
omissions. The next time you have
piece of news concerning your.
self. or your family, or your neigh
bors, or of your community, give
1t to the editor yourself, or write it
to him, and do not depend upon
others TO do 1t. They may be more
interested in affairs on their own
side of the fence.
The editor will thank you for your
thoughtfulness in enabling him 10
secure news that will add to the
value of his paper and make it OF
interest to all of the people, for
that is his mission In life.
He is human, as we'll as you.---Lo-
gan Leader.

JONES.SWEAzfA
MURDER CASE NOW
Up FOR HEARING
Jury Has Not Been Chosen.
Special Venire Necessary
..Other Important Cases

The district court is grinding slow
but sure and the grand jury is be.
ginning to hear many witnesses and
II looks like they will be In session
several days yet.
The case in which.T. II. Hunt ia
charged with the murder of w. M.
Jones and John Sweazea was taken
up yesterday and the selecting of a
jury has been going on ever since.
A special venire was selected last
night after the state had passed
twelve men. The defense is repre-.
sented by three lawyers and their
examination exused about two
thirds of those. II is reported that
1t will take some eight or ten days
to try the case as il will be hard
fought throughout.
The state has new and important
testimony which il intends To pro.
duce and there are many surprises
in store for those who believe that
the case will be tried on merely
circumstantial evidence. There are
many rumors afloat but the News
does not desire to print them at
this time as they may not he true
and we hope that Mr.. Hunt will get
fair trial and if he is guilty he
should be dealt with accordingly. q.
Many other cases of Importance
will come up for trial at this term
and it is thought night sessions will
be necessary in order to dispose of
the extra large docket.

DEHORNING CATTLE

The cruelty connected with cut.
ting off the horns of cattle is the
more to be condemned because II is
wholly unnecessary. The time to
take off the horns Is before there
are any horns to take off. II has
been published 80 often in agricul-
tural journals that by the simplest
means the growth of the horns can
be prevented, that no farmer can
plead ignorance. II he has been too
lazy or Indifferent to take this trou-
BILE and prefers to wait till the horns
must be sawn off or cut off he de-
serves punishment for needless and
brutal cruelty. A writer in the
American Cultivator, while stating
that the humane method Is the ap-
plication of caustic potash to the lit
tie nub while the calf is under two
weeks of age, also says
For the removal of grown horn
there many excellent instruments.
but thoroughly competent operators
often consider nothing equal to
an ordinary sharp saw. The horn
should be cut off close 20 the head
even to the extent of removing fully
half an inch Of hair and skin. This
is also the least painful method, as
one thus cuts where the horn is
thickest and the nerve or quick is
narrowed down to the thickness of a
pencil; and the difference between
this and saving through inches of
horn and the same quantity Of nerve
is obvious"
This writer is greatly mistaken in
what ne says about the nerve or
quick being much smaller at the
base of the horn. The sensiveness is
greatest the farther one goes toward
the base of the horn. At any point
1t is very painful operation.
Any one who has seen cattle de-
horned, heard the moan of the animal
and witnessed the flow of blood, is
outraged when told that the animal
scarcely minds it. 1t is a barberous
thing prohibited absolutely in certain
Many have an exaggerated notion
of the trouble involved in stopping
the growth ot the horn. Take the
calf anywhere under two weeks of
age, preferably from three to eight
lays old, moisten the finger in a |
cup of water and wet well the hair
about the little nub where the horn
IS to start, then rub with a pencil of
,austic potash till the place looks

There is no need of clip

blood comes is wholly needless. We
