PECULIAR ATTACK ON GIRL.
Waterloo Young Lady Overcome by
Pungeant Poison.

Waterloo, Ia, June S.-Armed
with a mysterious pungeant poison
procured only in South America, an
unknown man, Tuesday evening
caused Miss Margaret Beener to be
overcome while she was returning
from the city to her home. She
was with her sister and they noticed
two men and a woman standing in
the shadows near the Chicago Great
Western crossing at Lafayette street.
AS they Passed one of the men
tossed a powder over Miss Beener's
clothing and the trio followed. AL
most Immediately Miss Beener began
to feel the effects of the drug and
when she reached home, only a short
distance away, her body became rig
id. A physician was called and re-
the victim. Officers could
find no trace OF the trio, but will
watch for similar attempts upon 9TH
ers. They believe the incident was
evidence of a new ruse of white
slave operators.

Big Hog Loss Throughout L. :.

Throughout the United States as
a whole there has been a loss of 119
out of every 1000 hogs during the
last twelve months. More than 90
per cent of this loss was from chol-
era. These are the figures of the
United States Government Depart
ment of Agriculture as announced
on April 23d. The government es-
Inmates that there has been total
loss of 10000 head, which, at a
value Of 5000 per head means
a loss of $4,000, 900.
The government states that the
country is passing through the third
serious epidemic of hog cholera in
the past thirty years. The first per-
iod reached its climax in 1886 to
1887, when the loss amounted to
1874 per thousand head in one year.
The second outbreak developed in
1894 and reached its climax in 1896
to 1897, when losses amounted to
144 per thousand head. The present

1000 CHICKS MATCHED.
Interesting Sight on Farm Near Ia
bOr-Huge Incubator Brings Off
Immense Flock.

Tabor, June S.-W. E. Long, liv-
ing northeast of Tabor, counted the
first hatch of chicks from his 2,400
egg capacity incubator the first of
the week and numerous townspeople
drove out to witness the lively sight
of 1000 little fluffy birds popping
out of the shells, for that was APP
proximately the size of the hatch.
1t was equal to moving picture
show and there would have been
still more doing if the eggs had been
all home grown, but Mr.. Long i'm
ported several cases of fancy eggs
that he was obliged to hold for three
weeks before setting and these
mostly failed to hatch.
However, he will soon have 2,40O
more incubating and soon expects
chickens by the thousands.
Besides his new forty-five foot
building and Matching apparatus for
the benefit of early chicks, he is
about to build an underground struc-
ture sixty feet by twelve for incu-
batting purposes, since it is much
easier to maintain even temperature
in incubators below ground, where
the sudden changes of temperature
does not affect them.
Mr. Long recently bought eight
Plymouth Rock hen at s. each
and one cock for $40 as a starter
for pure bred flock

Mount Ayr, Ia, June S.-Farmers
of this vicinity who last year struck
it rich on wheat are loosing out this
year. The crop was of such an ex-
ceptionally good quality last year
that most of the available ground
was sown in wheat this season.
Now the Hessian fly has invaded the
fields and hundreds of acres will not
make half a crop, if that much, ow-
ing to their ravages.
One farmer, A. R. Shrimplen, has
200 acres in wheat, and the entire
crop is doomed.

Muscatine County Farmers Make

Muscatine, Ia, June S.-Despite
the activity of Deputy State Veterin-
arian Tillie and County Agent Kirk
patrick assisted by the committee
members of the Muscatine County
Crop improvement association the
hog cholera situation in Muscatine
county is becoming alarming. Three
hundred cases have thus far been
reported and strict quarantine and
vaccination has not sufficed to pre-
vent the further spread of the swine
plague.
DR.. Tillie returned home Saturday
evening from Des Moines where he
conferred with State Veterinarian
Gibson and the state officer has prom
Used aid. The county society has
ordered $4,000 ounces of serum from
the state plant and this will be con-
sumed almost as soon as 1t arrives.
The farmers are resorting to vaccina-
ton on large scale to prevent a
repetition of the heavy losses of last
year.
Unless the spread of the disease is
curbed loss Of many thousands of
dollars will result.

TRAILS CHICKEN THIEVES.
MarshalltOwn Divine Makes Good
As Detective When The Police
Fail

Marshalltown, Ia, June S.-Rev.
Charles E. Pilgrim, pastor of the
United Brethren church of this city,
proved last week that he is as good
a detective as he is a preacher. Last
Saturday night Pilgrim had stolen
from his hennery seven fine year
ling hens. The same night one of
his neighbors had eight fowls stol-
en-, seven hens and a cock bird.
Pilgrim didn't have time to do
any scouting OF Sunday, but begin
ming Monday he was driving alleys
behind his fine sorrel. The result
was that yesterday, in company with
the sheriff and NJ w. Irwin, who lost
the other fowls, Pilgrim swooped
down upon James A. Clark and o.
w. Jones, two residents of this city.
Both were arrested. charged with
the theft of the chickens, and Clark
confessed. Clark admitted having
stolen the entire fifteen chickens, al
though eight hens and the rooster
were found at the Jones home. Jones
was discharged, and Clark was
bound over to the grand jury under
500 bonds.
Although facing a penitentiary Of
Tense, there is some doubt whether
a good case can be made against
Clark, who is paroled inmate of
the state hospital for the insane at

extensive epidemic of hog cholera be-
gan to be serious in 1911. During
the ten prior years the loss of swine
ranged from 10 to SIS per thousand
Fer year. In 1911 it jumped to SO
then to ITO in 1912 and to 119 last
year. 1t has thoroughly ravaged
the heart of the hog-producing belt
during the year just passed." says
the government report. In the state
of Iowa alone, losses amount to
nearly 100000 swine, over one
fourth of the entire number in the
state. In many counties over half
were lost and in some townships
over nine-tenths. AS a rule the
losses of swine are heaviest in the
southern states, but in 1913 the nor
thern states have suffered the most.

What Is This Mans Crime.

Recently it was discovered that a
young man had taken high school
girl and made her believe that he
had married her. Then they went to
housekeeping and lived as man and
wife for several months. 1t was
then discovered that the young man
had a real wife living in the city.
The young man was arrested and is
now out on bail, the only charge
against him being 'lewdness." The
girl has returned to high school.
The young man says that he only
lived with his first wife a few days
and that he was compelled to marry
her All these things disclose rec
ord of wrongdoing which ought to
rank higher than charge of 'lewd-
ness"
Our laws are a strange mixture. A
man has been indicted under a fed
eral statute for bringing a woman
of mature years from Kansas City.
The crime alleged is a serious one
and in other states convictions have
been followed by the severest of pen
alties.
Yet here under our Iowa law a
young man with one wife to whom
he only claims to be nominally mar
riod and a vOupp GIRL whO Thought
she was his wife are his victims, is
bailed out on the simple charge OF
lewdness, says the Des Moines Capt.
