PURCHASED TOLL LINE
Deal About Closed For TAX
ing Over of Oneida-Vilas
Telephone Line by Eagle
River Parties.

1t is rumored that in a few
days the Oneida-Vilas Telephone
Company's toll line between
Eagle River. Three Lakes and
Rhinelander will be transferred
to new company formed at
Eagle River.
This telephone line was built
eleven years ago, and, while it
has been a sort ola "haywire' svs-
tenn, still it has kept US in com
munication with the outside
world, barring few cusswords
when the dadbinged line was
out of order
1t is also understood that
when the deal is closed, the new
company intends rebuilding the
entire system, about forty miles,
installing complete copper toll
circuit. This is the class of cir
cult the Bell telephone system
uses.

Tried to Evade Quarantine.

Monday of last week, Clyde
Waugh, living on the Iowa side of the
line, having load of sheep ready for
market and being unable to ship
them out of the state, drove them to
Irena, Mo-, where he held them in the
stock yards until they were loaded on
the south bound freight billing them
to St. Joe. At the same time D. w.
Thompson and Charles Combs each
had a load of stock loaded from the
same yards at the same time. When
the freight arrived at Grant City, the
agent, according to orders held the
car of sheep belonging to the Iowa
man. The officials found that the
stock belonging to Mr.. Thompson and
Mr.. Combs had been in the same yard
with the stock from Iowa, they order
.ed the agent at Worth to stop the ex-
posed stock. Ill of the stock was
laid over and the evening passenger
train carried the three loads back to
Irena where they were unloaded.
1t is pretty stiff proposition to try
and beat a government quarantine
in an epidemic like the foot and
mouth disease.-Lamoni Chronicle.

Visit of Corydon Gospel Team.

A crowded house enjoyed very
unusual and intensely interesting
service at the Methodist church last
Sunday evening. 1t was entirely in
the hands of the fifteen business men
who came over in autos from Cory
don, and they accomplished what
many would have said before the
service was impossible. Besides the
a,"naI singing, the men sang
two quartette numbers, and every
man on the team gave short talk.
These talks were all very earnest
and pointed, bearing in the main
upon a mans relation to Christ and
the church. They were convincing.
After all had spoken Mr.. J. ]. c.
Bower, the leader of the team, urged
upon the men of Leon who are
church members to work on the job.
He made a very stirring appeal and
called for the men who would be
members of the Leon Gospel Team to
come down to the front; and seven
teen men responded, taking this
solemn pledge: "I'll never finch"
and praying in unison this prayer:
ooh, Lord, start revival now, and
let it begin in me-"
The first duty imposed upon the
Leon team was that they should con-
duct the prayer meeting on Wednes-
day evening. Each man promised to
be present and take some part. Then
Mr.. Bower asked how many of the
congregation would stand by these
men and be on hand at the Wednes-
day prayer service, and some SO
stood.

ed to the Leon team, but those who

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Lucinda Butcher, 80 Years of
Age, Burned to Death at Home of
Son, Ii. II. West, ut Lineville.

One of the most terrible and heart
rending accidents that ever took
place in Lineville occurred on Tues
day forenoon about 10 o'clock at the
Lone of 3. E. West on West Line
street, when the clothing of Mr..
Vests aged mother, Mrs. Lucinda
Butcher, caught fire, presumably
from her pipe and before assistance
reached her the entire clothing was
consumed and her body burned to a
crisp. She was seated in her chair in
her room on the second floor of the
few moments before to bring wood
to replenish the fire. Mrs. West was
in the yard outside the house, her
mother, Mrs. Tadlock, coming in, Mr..
West stopped minute to talk with
her before proceeding up stairs with
the wood AS he opened the stairway
door he was met by smoke and flames
from the upper room. He is totally
blind, but Immediately gave the alarm
and hurried up stairs to the assist
ance of his aged mother. The others
also lost no time in reaching the
room, where most terrible scene met
their gaze. The old lady was still re-
clining in the chair with every particle
of clothing burned from her body and
she was already dead, the weak and
fieeting spark of her life having ap-
parently left her with the first shock
and pain of the fire. The carpet,
rugs, and the chair in which she was
seated were all atlame, but the fire
was soon extinguished. No alarm or
cutlery had been heard by those below
and the aged woman was so weak and
enfeebled as to be unable to make any
resistance to the cruel flames.
Mrs. Butcher had been a resident
of Lineville for more than forty years
and a widow for about IS years, liv-
ing most of that time with her son,
B. E. West, most of whose entire
time during the past year or two, has
been devoted to her care and COM

The funeral was held yesterday

The Foot and Mouth Disease.

Few farmers or stock growers in
this country had any real knowledge
of the nature of the foot and mouth
disease when it's existence at the Chi
cagO stock yards was first reported
by agents of the federal government.
No trace of it apparently has been
noted in the United States since 1870
, when it was introduced from Canada,
where it had been brought by cattle
from England. Over twenty years
ago the farms of Germany were swept
by the plague and the losses were put
at nearly $4O,0O0,000.
What makes the foot and mouth
disease especially dangerous is the
ease with which it is carried and the
rapidly with which it spreads. Once
it gained a start in certain section,
by the infection of the pens of the
stock yards and of cattle cars, it was
bound to extend quickly in many di-
rections through the ordinary chan
nels of traffic. In establishing strict
quarantine in all localities where dis
covered, the government has taken
only the first step toward extinguish-
ing it. The isolation of all diseased
animals and the disinfection of all
places and substances through which
the infection may be carried are nee
essarily local measures.
Beginning with a sudden fever, the
foot and mouth disease soon reveals
itself through the formation of bis
tiers on the tongue and in the mouth
and nostrils, and on other parts. of
the body where the skin is thin, espe-
cially on the tender parts of the feet.
The immediate effect is that the ami
NAL has difficult in feeding and de-
velops lameness. The disease can be
transmitted to most domestic ami
mails, horses seeming to be the least
susceptible, while sheep, goats or
swine are it's chief victims.
A puzzling feature of this kind of
cattle plague is that, while in Europe
it has been traced back for over 1000
years, periodically it breaks out with
extraordinary virulence and spreads
like wild fire. That the disease was
conveyed to the United States this
year from some part of Europe is the
opinion of experts, but no one is able
to say when or how 1t arrived.
