Attempt to End Life Fails.

Atlantic, Ia, July 6-Mental de
rangement and melancholia is as
signed as the cause of an attempt OF
Peter Christensen, Jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Christensen of south
west of Marine, to kill himself at
daybreak Thursday morning. Before
his parents had seated themselves al
the breakfast table they instituted a
search for him and found him hang
ing in the barn suspended by rope
about his neck. He was Immediately
cut down and although unconscious
medical aid saved him. The fact
that the rope was a trifle too long
to keep him clear of the ground is
responsible for his being alive. He
is "a years of age.

Our Tailed Ancestors.

Mrs. Farthingale was going out
and was wearing-it was not quite
altogether spring yet-the wonder
full red fox furs that her mother had
given her as birthday present. Lit
tie Walter, Mrs. Farthingale's eld-
est hope, was amusing himself by
playing somewhat roughly with the
tail that had belonged to the fox.
BE careful, child" said his
mother, that came from your dear
grandmama.
To which little Walter, surprised
Snd puzzled, replied:
did grandma used to have a tail
then, mother?''

Will Have Storm Caves.

Iowa CITY, July 6,-By order of
the newly organized school board OF
Penn township, storm caves will be
constructed at each of the school
houses The seeming increase of
storms in that rart of the country
has brought about this decision on
the part of the school board.
The matter of school consolida-
tion was discussed at their last
meeting, but while it is regarded as
coming in the future, the present
difficulty in the way of long distan-
ces, in that township and the pres
ent road development would seem
to make it a matter of several years
before such school is feasible, il

NEW INFECTIOUS DISEASE.
MaIady Producing Hemorrhage O
lntestines Attacks Floyd Co.
Herds.

Herds.
Ames, Ia, July Ga mysterious
infectious disease which is causing
heavy losses in farm herds in Nit
chell, Cerro Gordo and Floyd coun-
ties, has just been diagnosed by DR..
Kent Schern of the veterinary re-
search Laboratories at Iowa State col
lege. Some local veterinarians call
ed it rabies and quarantined the
farms; some gave it other names.
The cases in which investigation has
been completed by DR.. Sohern he de-
clares to be hemorrhagic septicemia
disease which causes numerous
hermorrhages in the internal organs
and tissues. Where the disease has
a foothold fine cows or choice steers
which seemed healthy only a few
hours before are found dead, or per-
haps individual animals or whole
herds are found in semi-crazed con-
dition or dying. A serum and vac
cine have been worked out by DR..
Schern and are now being tested.
DR.. Sahern visited five different
infected herds in northern Iowa at
the request of local veterinarians. He
found the disease affecting cattle
chiefly, although sheep, horses and
other animals have been afflicted, &C
cording to the reports of farmers. In
one of the herds the owner had lost
fifteen head Of cattle; in another,
fourteen head, and in another elev-
en- head. DR.. Schern examined the
infected herds and also made sever
al post norton examinations. In
three herds he was able to say defin-
itely that the disease was hemorrha-
gic septicemia, although the varying
work difficult. In the case of anoth-
er herd he is doing experimental
work in the laboratories at Ames to
make a diagnosis, which will take
two or three weeks.
DR.. Schern is carrying on work
now at Ames to find a remedy for
this destructive disease, none being
we'll known to veterinarians up to
this time. From several outbreaks
of hemorrhagic septicemia in Janu-
airy and February. DR.. Schern was
able to isolate the germ that causes
it, in the first experiments in Iowa,
in the cultivation of the germ. Then
he undertook to produce good SER
UNI and a good vaccine against the
disease. The task was very difficult
but he has had success thus far and
good results. With some Of the
serum produced at Ames, Dr. Schern
and DR.. Mcleod of Charles City vac
cinated thirteen calves and four
COWS on one of the worst infected
farms For vaccination on another
farm, serum was shipped away from
Ames yesterday. 1t will be some
time before the results of the vaccin-
alton are known.
Several farms in the three coun-
ties are under quarantine for rabies.
1T is possible that rabies is there"
says DR.. Schern, but up to the pres
ent that is not certain. If rabies
should prove to be present, then the
dogs in the infected sections should
be quarantined or shot, because dogs
spread the disease. 1t is my judg-
ment that we need more effective
measures against rabies in Iowa than
we seem to have. believe, also, that
hemorrhagic septicemia is more
prevalent in Iowa than is generally
known"

She Found the Catch"

A woman wearing an anxious ex-
preston, called at an insurance office
one morning.
Il understand" she said, that
for five dollars ] can insure my
house for a thousand dollars in your
company"
YES" replied the agent, that is
right. If your house burns down,
we pay you one thousand dollars"
And" continued the woman anxi-
ously, do you make inquiries as to
the origin of the fire?"
Certainly" was the prompt reply.
I'VE make the most careful inquir-
les, madam"
"Oh"-and she turned to leave the
Office thought there was a catch
in it somewhere"

A Perfect Cathartic.

There is sure and wholesome ac-

congested feeling, so uncomfortable
especially in hot weather. They keep

two weeks Long jealous of London s
annual season, Berlin is making its
first effort to organize rival attrac-

leans, of course, are expected to be
the largest foreign element here dur
ing these two weeks.

MEMORIAL DAY

Washington, May 30. Members
.of all civic, naval and military or
carnations throughout the United
States are today celebrating Memoir
'ial Day, and in many towns the SER
vices last through tomorrow. The
patriotic enthusiasm aroused by the
situation in Mexico and the eager
ness of many for militancy have
Keyed all to a high pitch and this
Memorial Day will undoubtedly be
more largely observed than any in
past years. The parades of the va
rious military posts and the decora-
tion of the soldiers graves will, in
many places, precede athletic games,
and Sunday will be devoted to the
Memorial services in the churches
Nearly all the national officers have
made ARRANGEMENTS to attend the
services and address the members Of
the various organizations and asso-
Citations in which they are individu-
any interested

FOR COOPERATION OF UNIONS

Boston, Mass, May 80 The
grand chiefs of all the labor organi-
cations of railroad men of the Unit
ed States and Canada are present or
represented to take part in the meet
ing called for tomorrow, for further
conference upon the movement for
a great cooperative association of
federation, which was inflated last
April, A difference of opinion devel-
oped as to the control of the fedora
tlon, If one shall be formed: and,
moreover, the Big Four Train Sery..
ice bodies objected to the word Fed
Grafton because their constitutions
forbid them to federate with other
than train service organizations.
The fight for control will probably
take place at tomorrow meeting,
and an effort will be made to agree
upon some sort of cooperative
scheme that will ultimately bring to-
gcthcr the railway employees of the
United States and Canada even with
out formal federation, if the original
federal plan shall prove to be i'm
possible.

CORRECT PRONUNCIATION
OF MEXICAN NAMES

Much trouble has been expert
enced by English-speaking people in
the pronunciation of the names of
people and places in connection with
the recent trouble in Mexico. There
are more than fifty seven varieties"
of pronunciation and it is not to be
wondered at for the reason that the
names are sometimes Spanish, some
times Indian and often combina-
tion of both.
From a western exchange the fol-
lowing table is reported, which may
serve as a rough and ready guide in
