HOG PLAGUE
State Livestock Department Gathers
Figures As to Losers.

Pierre, Oct. 2.-The state livestock
department has been at work at
tempting to secure as nearly as pos.
sible accurate figures on the losses
suffered from hog cholera in the state
in the epidemic of last year. Theii
inquiries covered the number oil
hogs in the various counties at the
beginning of 1918, with their value
and the amount of loss in that yeal
with the value placed upon the hogs
which died. They have secured fig.
ures from all but twelve counties in
the state, of which but two, Bor
Homme and Beadle, are among those
which raise any great number oil
hogs, and the showing in total is that
at the beginning of last year there
were in the state 544,740 hogs, with
a valuation of $4,214,904. The loss
for the year is placed at 420,026 hogs
with an estimated value of $3,243,-
383.
The counties showing the heaviest
losses, in numbers are: Hutchinson
$3.50; Union, 1866; Lincoln, A.
912; Clay, $3.50; Minnehaha, "a
SOS: Yankton, PLAT; Hanson, 49,
557; Dawson, 14,495.
The department is devoting a large
amount of effort this year to secure
action toward preventing another
such an epidemic sweeping over the
hog raising section of the state,
through the schools of instruction in
the use of serum and virus for the
prevention of cholera, along with lee
lures on the needs of sanitary handl-
ing and steps for prevention of spread
of the disease from infected districts,

UGLY CHARGE
Gary Physician and Young Girl Fig
ure i'm Unsavory Episode.

Clear Lake, Oct. DIR. James HI.
Fonger of Gary was arrested and
brought over to Clear Lake where a
hearing was had before Justice Wal
ter Parish, on a statutory ~offense, on
the person of Lucille Eakins, a Is
year-old daughter of Attorney Eakins
of Gary, and was bound over for APP
pearance in the next circuit court for
$4,000. 1t appeared by the evidence
that the doctors wife and family
have been in California for several
weeks, and Miss Eakins was staying
with Mr.. Aulwes' family. She did
not show up Saturday night, and they
thought she had gone home, but next
morning found she had not, and a
search was Immediately commenced
and continued all day Sunday. On
returning Sunday night to Mr.. Aul-
wes' house, the family were not al
home and the girl Immediately went
to bed. On return of the family she
was found and on questioning she ac-
knowledged that she had been at the
Doctors house all of Saturday night
and all day Sunday. DR.. Fonger's
father and Scotty Morrow went on
the bonds. The doctor has always
borne a good reputation heretofore,
and the case is extremely sad from
all sides, and the brunt of 1t falls
heavily on Miss Eakins and her well
respected parents.

Jane Adams has no fear of the
foreign women's vote. No part of her
recent address in Boston aroused
more interest than this.
II have lived for more than TWEEN
ty-five years with foreign women"
said Miss Adams, "and | assure you
that they are just like American
women. Among them there are
bright women and stupid women, and
all kinds: but they are all interested
in the schools and the hospitals, and
in things which are to benefit the
city.
Il was a judge of election last
spring in the precinct where Hull
House stands. Almost all the voters
were foreigners, and it was a great
satisfaction to me to see what good
judgment the ONE showed. There
was one Irishwoman, yery bright,
who could not read, and therefore /
was allowed to go into the booth
with her to help her mark her ballot.
The first proposition was about bonds
for a new hospital. The Irishwoman
said, rs the same bunch to spend

GOV. MeCREARY WILL NOT
DISCUSS ALEXANDER PARDON.

- When asked Wednesday if he would
make a statement concerning the dis
position of the petition for the pardon
of George Alexander, of Paris, who
pleaded guilty to embezzlement last
Monday, Gov. McCreary said: II don't
care to talk about it,"
1t is not believed in Frankfort that
Governor McCreary will pardon Alex
ander, but it is thought by many that
he may change the sentence. Under
the sentence imposed upon Alexander
he will not be eligible to parole until
he has served eight years.
Governor McCreary, however, could
make Alexander eligible to parole at
the end of one year. A report was
been received at Frankfort that pro-
test is being circulated, to be present,
ed at the same time as the petition
for a pardon, and it is also reported
that if Alexander is pardOned other
charges against him may be produced
at the next term Of the Bourbon Cir
cult Court

CONVICTED BANKER HAS A
PRIVATE ROOM IN JAIL

Contrary to the general report,
George Alexander, who was convict
ed at the special term of the Bour-
bon Circuit Court, did not spend the
arSt night of his conviction behind
the bars of the Bourbon county Jail,
but instead, is said to be occupying
private room in the living apart
ments of the jailer \
Mr.. Alexander will receive no time
off for good behavior, it is said, but
must serve his full sentence of sew
en- years. Under a recent decision of
the Court of Appeals a prisoner SEN
fenced to the State prison must serve
at least one full year before he is en-
| titled to parole. The Alexander SEN
fences are from one to ten years in
| each case, service in each of the
seven sentences to begin upon the eX-
piratiOn of the preceding sentence.
! Thus at the end of the first years
| Imprisonment, instead of being en-
| titled to parole as would be the case
! ii he were serving a long sentence,
he will begin the service of another
term and so on until he has served
the entire seven years, in One-year
| sentences.
Considerable criticism has been
directed toward the county Jailer for
allowing Mr.. Alexander to occupy
| apartments outside the Jail. Jailer
Farris says that he alone is respOn-
Sible for the prisoners Safe-keeping
| that he was intrusted to his care and
that when he turns the prisoner over
to the proper officials he will have
porforn,od tho whole dufv rpOlirpd
of him by the law.

THE VALUABLE QUAIL.

The most expensive meat in America
is that of the quail. The price of the
bird may be moderate enough, but the
loss caused by killing it is another
matter. Competent authorities esti
mate that each quail is worth from
$40 to $25 to the American farmer, as
destroyer of insects and devourer
of weed seeds.
This is particularly true in those
of the South amicated by the boil
weevil. Quails are as fond OF weevils
as wevills are of cotton, and more than
one farmer has noticed that when his
fields are we'll stocked with quail the
cotton crop is safe. There is liable
to be some very vigorous game pre-
serving in Dixie, on economic grounds
rather than for sport, during the next
dozen wears.

Killed by q Train

Last Sunday night about 10
o'clock Robert Kirby was killed
by a freight train in front of
the T. c. passenger depot in
Cookeville and his body badly
mangled. He left here a few
days ago for East Tennessee
and was returning home, it is
supposed, and was beating his
way as passengers are not al
lowed on through freights, and
that he fell in trying to get off
the train, which did not stop
here. His body was found soon
after the train passed. He was
a son of Thos. Kirby, and left
no family. He was buried on
Monday afternoon.

pledge to him the united sup
port of the Democratic party
in his candidacy for reelection.
Being the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, and standing for
all those principles for which
the Democrats have been fight
ing for many years, he is enti-
tied to the support of every real
Democrat in his district.
We approve and endorse the
course of our State Senator,
Hon. George Welch, and Rep
resentative, Hon. Jackson Davis
in the last general assembly.
We give our hearty, unquali-
fed endorsement to the candi-
dacy of Hon. Thomas c. Rye as
the Democratic nominee for
Governor, and Hon. George N.
Welch as the Democratic nOmi-
nee for Railroad Commissioner,
and pledge to them our loyal
support in the coming election.
Their election will mean peace
to the people of the state, rath-
er than turmoil and strife, the
extravaganza and abscondence
which have characterized the
present administration of state
affairs.
w also endorse the candidacy
of Hon. o. P. Pile as the Demo-
cratic nominee for State Sen
ator from the Tenth senatorial
district.
We endorse the platform of
principles announced by the
late Democratic convention,
and pledge the nominee of this
convention to honest obedience
to the declarations contained in
said platform.
We believe that every law on
the statute books should be hon
estly and faithfully enforced,
that public officials themselves,
our members of the legislature
and those holding other posi-
tions should be true to their
trusts.
We favor the retention and
enforcement of all the laws now
on the statute books which
have for their object the sup
preston of the liquor traffic,
as police regulations, coming
properly within the police pow
ers of the sovereign state.
