Egner Farm in Oregon Guaranteed.

GSuCl AA OASSOA
The first appearance of the dreaded
foot and mouth disease among cattle in
Dane county was discovered in Ole
Egner's herd the first of this week
DR.. Thompson, government Inspector,
was here Monday to inspect the herd
and found unmistakable signs Of the
disease in ten or twelve animals. On
Tuesday Drs. Digman, Thompson and
Dreher. went to the Egner farm to
make a more thorough investigation
and as a result the farm was quaran-
tined and no one will be allowed to go
off or onto the place. All of Mr.. Egg
ner's stock, which includes IA head of
cattle and 80 hogs, have been ordered
killed by the government officials and
the carcasses destroyed and buried. A
trench 80 feet long, 20 feet wide and
10 feet deep is now being dug on the
arm in which to bury the animals.
An inspection of this herd was made
about ten days ago but at that time
the symptoms had not developed suf-
fciently to determine that it was the
dreaded foot and mouth disease. The
disease no doubt was brought in by the
carload of feeders which Mr.. Egner
shipped in from Chicago about three
weeks ago. Oregon Observer.

NEW CASES REPORTED.

The value of Wisconsin livestock
thus far slaughtered to prevent spread
of hoof and mouth disease has been
determined approximately to be be-
tween $4,000 and $35, 600 by DR.. O. H
Eliason, state veterinarian. Two more
infected herds have been discovered
this week by local veterinarians. One
belongs to Mark Baker, five miles
south of Fort Atkinson, and the other
to Mr.. Franklin, whose farm adjoins
the Miller place near Evansville, where
the first case in Wisconsin was found
Both herds have been appraised and
will be disposed of in a few days.

Slaughter of Diseased Animals Con
tinues.

Forty head of blooded Shorthorn cat
tie and lis hogs were killed last Thurs
day afternoon at the C. E. Parr farm,
seven miles from GAINESVILLE, on the
Milwaukee road in the town of Johns
town. The Staying of the stock was
under the supervision of DR.. c. P. Sny-
der, United States Inspector, who has
been in charge of the infected animals
since they were condemned for having
the hoof and mouth disease, a week
ago Saturday.
A trench 40 feet in length and Is feet
wide was completed Thursday noon and
the cattle were driven into the huge
pit in the afternoon to be shot. AS the
Parr farm is adjoining that of the fields
belonging to George Austin, the in
spectors declared that the disease had
spread from the Austin herd, which
were slaughtered recently. The first
symptoms of the hoof and mouth dis
ease were noticed in the early part OF
the month and the federal authorities
were notified From the cattle the
disease spread to the swine rapidly I'M
til all were diseased. including several
hign- priced blooded animals.
With the present case under control,
the inspectors expressed confidence
that the disease was checked in this
district, and with careful prevention
measures no further spread will likely
result. The statements were expressed
hopefully for the federal men also
stated that at any time an unexpected
infection would cause more spread and
danger.

Work Lose for Sox.

Umpire Eason's decision in the sec

by the majority of SOx cohorts to-

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL sORTs-BOXING


Stage will do some experimenting
with the Maroon attack in the grid
iron battle with Northwestern at the
Midway this afternoon.
Running up a large score against
Indiana last Saturday encouraged the
Maroon cohorts, but the athletic di-.
rector is after an offense of more
versatility. Forward passing is eX-
pected to come in for its share, as
the field is bound to be too heavy for
fast open-feld running.
On defense the Maroons did cred
table work last week. They easily
stopped the cumbersome attack of
the Hoosiers, sitting through the line
in many cases before the plays were
fairly started.
Today they will be up against a
different style of play. Northwestern
has a star broken field runner in Capt.
Hightower and he is a hard man to
stop. His stiffness and ability to
dodge should furnish the Maroons
plent of practice.
Chicago is sure of a victory. The
only question is the size of the score.
Hyde Park, holder of many athletic
championships, and Lake View,
prominent as titleholder in indoor
sports, were expelled yesterday from
the Chicago High School Athletic
League at a meeting of the board Of
control in the board Of education

tense of the new constitution, which
strictly prohibits coaching by others
than members of the faculty.

The report that Senator Thomas
Kearns, of the Halifax, e. B. Ed
wards, of the West End, and Charles
Knox, Of the Montana, came here
for the purpose of considering a
compromise in the Butler-West End
litigation had no foundation in fact,
Judging from the statements of the
gentlemen themselves.
Senator Kearns said he came to
Tonopah for the purpose of seeing If
the Halifax could not be placed on a
self-sustaining basis and he felt con-
fident that the property would do
better than pay its own way with the
very advantageous milling arrange
ments with the West End. Senator
Kearns and Borax Smith have been
defraying one-half the expense Of
operating the mine.

ton of the mines like those of Tono-
pah. When it is considered that
paper currency of the warning pow
ers will not be considered very prime
as payment of debts and that in con-
sequence there must be a resumption
of coinage of silver into money and
that the present silver bullion re-
serves held by the governments OF
Europe will not long endure, the
price of the white metal must neces-
sarily advance. II for example there
were held in the town of Tonopah

would in the opinion of the holders,
be the chances of the redemption of
those notes in money on presentation
at this moment or at the end of the

holder of the paper would not give
much for the chance of getting his
money at all and the intrinsic value
of the notes as such would be NIL

One of the business matters that

arranging was a working agreement
between the Halifax and the Mizpah

use the Halifax shaft. Mr.. Kearns
said this was matter that was left
entirely in the hands of Manager
Brady, who could be relied on to do
the best thing for the interests OF his

Charles E. Knox, president OF the
Montana Tonopah Mining company

of the United States in general ana
the silver-gold producing mines in

A most eowardly assault occurred
last evening at the corner OF Main
and Brougher avenue when ]. A. San

Booth from behind and then backed
away as officers seized the victim
and prevented him from retaliating.
The incident occurred after adjourn

After adjournment Of court the
spectators adjourned downtown. In
cluded in the number were w w.
Booth, editor and manager OF the
Bonanza, Bob Pohl, county clerk, and
Al. Wardle, the well known mining
engineer. The latter group reached
the corner OF Brougher and had
turned up the street in front OF the
Western Union office when they halt
ed Pohl and Booth were engaged IN
confidential talk Wardle having
stepped back a few feet when san

about the case.
Booth remarked that he did not
