fT~)HE few survivors left of all
That mighty host Of stall
ESEgJ wart men
Who answered once the
country's call
For hel p are gatherednow again.
While meath the flag they fought
They totter on their weary way
To deck fallen comrades grave.
Their dreams are of a vanished
day.
Asmemory takes a backward sweep
What recollections crowd their
soulsl
They see again the red fame leap;
Above the plain the dun cloud
rolls.
Below the locks now thin and white
Andwrinkled browof age we see
From those old eyes leap into sight
The deathless soul of SO.
Those four dark years. when tears
and blood
Mixed in a carnival Of strife,
To us are but an episode;
To them they shaded all of life.
The march through cold. heat, snow
or rain,
Body andnerve strained overtime,
The wounds that manned with rack
ing pain,
Made Of them wrecks before their
prime.
The few now left are marching on;
They'll cross the river soon and
rest.
IT'S well before the last are cone
That they should know we hold
them best.

CATTLE ARE RECOVERING
Veterinarians Fight Foot and MOutl
Epidemic Hard

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Veterinarians
ct work at the stock yards to pre-
vent the spread of the hoof and
mouth disease among cattle today
were apparently holding their own.
-Four new cases we're discovered
among the blooded dairy herds
brought here for the National Dairy
show and caught by the epidemic.
The first Of the blooded cattle to
be taken with the ailiment are now
recovering rapidly, according to
DR.. o. e. Dyson, state veterinarian,
and pr. Charles Hughes. president
Of the Chicago veterinaries, who ex-
amined the animals which were
kept alive for treatment and study.
Only a small proportion of the
cases are fatal, according to Doctor
Hughes, who was retained by the
exhibitors to find a means to pre-
vent their cattle from being slaugh-
tered.
The work of disinfecting the
yards continues twenty-four hours q
day and the time was extended to
the packing plants. All the hides
that have accumulated in the yards
since October 1 will be dipped IN
disinfectant before being shipped. At
the serum plants it was decided 20
destroy all the manufactured serum,
now on hand, in order to prevent
any possible spread of the ailment
through that means.
Twelve new cases we're reported
to Doctor Dyson from the 125 dep
uty state veterinarians who are in
specting herds throughout the state.
Doctor Dyson refused to indicate
where these cases were found.

NEELEY TO CONTEST ELECT1oNq
His Friends Say He viii Deny Char.

Hutchinson, Nov. 9.-Friends Of
George A. Medley, Democratic can
didate for United States senator,
stated that contest proceedings will
be instituted before the United
States senate in his behalf, IL the
sfficial returns show that Charles
Curtis has majority. Medley would
not admit that he had such a course
in view, nor would he deny it.
"Gross irregularities in behalf of
Curtis were committed in some
counties" said a politician close to
Medley. ''In several precincts, in
one city, sample ballots were taken
and hole cut in them opposite
Curtis name. These were given IL
literate voters. who went into the
booth and, placing the sample bal
lot over the official ballot, marked
in the hole. Under the law these
voters could not comply with the
requirements and should not have
been permitted to vote.
"In one precinct that Curtis car
ried by 400. the voting was at a
private house and was done in three
different rooms, giving opportunity
for all sorts of fraud"
AS soon as the official returns
are received in Topeka and tabular-
ed, so that the result is certainly
known, It is said Medley will give
formal notice of contest and state
the grounds on which his action g
based.
Charles Curtis, United States SEN

night, when asked about the alleged
scheme:
