half mast and everybody who saw it
knew that the beloved wife of the
President of the United States had

several months of Brights disease,
caused by fall in the white house

generally, was not aware of her SER
lous illness until a few days ago.
The end came at 5 O'Clock p. M,
after two sinking spells. She was
surrounded by her family, all of whom
have known for several days that
death was close at hand. The Presi-

FAR, FAR FROM HOME.


Among the people of the United
States who are visiting Europe and
unable to ''come back are Mayor
and Mrs. John Ringle, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathan Heinemann and son, Byron,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Heinemann. MIR.
and Mrs. Paul F. Stolze and Charles
Pfeiffer, all of this city, and who are
marooned at different points in the
Ola World, for the reason that no
foreigners are permitted to depart and
in other instances on account of the
great demand for berths on the Amer
lean liners. A letter post-marked
July %, from n. Heinemann at Lem
genschM albach, Germany, was re-
ceived here Friday by their sons,
Harry and SOL, who said they were
safely located at that place and were
happy and contented. They had
hoped to sail for home about August
Is or y. A letter was also received
here the same day from B. Heine-
mann to his son Walter, postmarked
July 26, in which he states they were
at Frankfort, Ger, that they had
expected to be in Wausau about Sep
tember l, but now the time of depar-
ture is uncertain. They, however,
were as cheerful as could be expected
under the circumstances and hoped
to soon be with their relatives and
friends in Wausau. Mayor Ringle
writes from Bingenbrieck, under date
of July %, and was received here Fri
day by his sons John and Oscar. He
sends German greetings" that they
are well and in good spirits and hope
to be with them at an as early date
as possible. Mr.. and Mrs. Ringle had
intended to embark for home August
/, but the fates deemed it otherwise.
Mr.. StolZe writes his sons, Victor and
Ariel, under date of July %, from
Coin, West Prussia, and says that
place is very old one and that its
churches date back 2SS years. He
du1 pal W VI tCidIiNCo anu lIlti1uS

country and on that date were on
their way further north. They had
their picture taken in their auto in
front of one of the old churches in
Coin and Mr. Stolze appeared leshy
and we'll and as though he had gained
in weight from fifteen to twenty
pounds. He and wife expect to sail
for home from Berlin about August
l5. Charles Pfeiffer, who has been
visiting at his old home in Bohemia,
has been heard from lately from Lam
eSkran, that country, where he has
been taking treatment for rheuma-
tism at Posteyan and is greatly i'm
proved. He had intended to return
home about August TO- but fears he
will have to prolong his stay in that
region indefinitely. Nothing is con-
tanned in any of the letters received
here in reference to the present war
crisis across the big pond, every let
ter, postal card, newspaper and cable
gram being censored, especially from
Germany, in order TO prevent the
out of valuable military in

Hog Cholera

Hog cholera is a very contag- ious disease and affects hogs principally. but may be also transferred to rabbits, sheep and cattle by inocularion. The symp- toms are dullness, with rough ness and dryness of skin. The sick hog will usually lie by him. self and does not wish to move, appears stiff and particularly paralyzed in the hindquarters. The skin will sometimes crack and blood ooze out, and the ears will hang exceedingly low. One distinguishing feature of hog cholera is the eruptlons that are sometimes present on the skin, being at first like pimples and red. or consisting of purple patches which later become dark. The secretions are impaired and the bowels are sometimes cos tive; at other times there is a profuse diarrhea. and the urine is very highly colored. In large herds where cholera exists there is an unpleasant odor, which is very intense. The breathing is very quick and labored.
 Hog cholera is due to a minute organism called |" microcci. " When these organisms enter the system they cause a ferment in the blood which destroys the in- tegrity, and this is sometimes so violent that the hog may die be- fore the other symptoms are fully developed. The lympathic glands are often found enlarged, inflamed and deeper in color. The peculiarity of this disease is the fact that numerous organs become implicated. In many cases it will run it's course in
