Surprise for Mr.. Brennan.

At Friday evenings session of the
county board very neat surprise was
sprung upon the retiring chairman,
w. j. Brennan, who has so capably
served the county in that capacity
during the past nine years. When
the order of miscellaneous business in
the proceedings was reached, supervi-
sor Geo. w. Brown, of Millville, who
is one of the few present members
that, have been members of the board
since 1900, as Mr.. Brennan also has,
stepped forward and made brief but
we'll worded speech, in which he re-
viewed some of the work of the
board during that period, in which
Mr.. Brennan had ever taken an active
part, and in which during the years
that he has been chairman he has
ever given his very best efforts, not
only in the annual sessions but
throughout the years, to seeing the
county's business properly and eco
nomically conducted, always refusing
anything in the way of compensation
for extra services when he has been
urged by the hoard to accept same,
but by his legal knowledge, his kind
illness and his public interest render
ing efficient and valuable aid to his
fellow members, who in turn, have
repeatedly and continuously chosen
him as their chairman.
In closing, Mr.. Brown on behalf
of the board. presented Mr.. Brennan
with an elegant mantel clock, with
genuine mahogany case and West
minister chimes striking each quarter
hour in melodious tones, which the
members of the board had all gladly
contributed to purchase, as a token
of their esteem and appreciation.
Mr.. Brennan was taken completely
by surprise by the presentation. but re-
covered nicely and made a grace
full and feeling speech of acknowledge
ment. Few, if any, of the many
excellent men who in the past years
have preceded Mr.. Brennan as chair
man of the board, have retired from
office more universally esteemed and
respected by their co-workers thar
Mr.. Brennan, and none have more
capably filled the duties of that i'm
portant position.

mistake of buying high priced stock

supplies for the family table.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
Ignorance of the conditions exist
ing excuses no woman, let results be
what they may. Home economics
brings all these questions to the fore
and honest, earnest men and women
are giving their lives to the solving
of the problems involved.
These are vital points. We all
spend too much time preparing to
live; getting ready to meet difficulties.
Life is upon US, we are living now,
and only the best is good enough to
enable US to measure up to each days
requirement. In our work we must
instil into the minds of the boys and
the girls that school isn't simply a
preparation for life; it is life, and
they have a responsibility here and
now.

The Fat Stock Show.

Most Wisconsin feeders and breed
ers who have acquired the ''Interna-
tional habit" appreciate now more
than ever before the value and i'm
portance of this great annual live
stock exposition. At and by it they
have acquired new standards Of
breeding and more and more they
have sought to raise animals which
would make them the quickest and
largest profits. All regret that con-
ditions have made it necessary to
cancel this years exposition.

FOOt-and- Mouth Disease

Foot and-mouth disease has for
the first time broken out in Wiscon-
sin but it is now thought to be we'll
under control.
The disease is very contagious and
is caused by virus or germ that
passes through the finest filter. The
germ has never been seen or culti-
waited. 1t is spread by persons who
have handled infected animals, by
all classes of live stock, hay and
straw from infected farms, green
hides and fieeces, and by any
transportation agency. Every out
break that has occurred in this coun-
try has been traced to imported in
lection.
The chief symptoms of foot-and-
mouth disease are small water-blist-
ers' or vesicles which develop on the
membrance covering the lips and
tongue, and upon the skin of the
feet or the udder. Cattle are most
susceptible to the disease, then fol-
low hogs, sheep and goats. Persons
rarely become infected. Naturally
infected animals may show symptoms
after 2 days but sometimes not until
IL days after having been exposed.
A moderate fever develops in the
first or second day. Cattle ''slobber"
when eating and dribble long, sticky
threads of saliva from the corners of
the mouth. The animals get lame
as a result of blisters appearing be-
tween the toes. These blisters soon
break, discharge straw-colored fluid
and leave raw sores which become
infected with dirt, so that pus forms.
In the great majority of cases, re-
covery will occur if the disease is al
lowed to run it's course. The
mortality amounts to less than L
per cent as a rule unless complied
tions set in. However on account of
the serious consequence which would
follow an uncontrolled outbreak,
both federal and state live stock
sanitary authorities exert every
means to stamp out the disease. All
cloven-footed animals on infected
farms are killed and buried in quick
lime The premises are thoroughly
dls1nfected and quarantine rules
strictly inforced. Treatment is out
of the question.
Healthy animals should be pro-
tected in every way possible from
coming in contact with infected
objects to prevent introductions of the
disease. 1t is advisable to keep
stock out of the highways and away
from pastures bordering on main
travelled roads.
Among the reasons why every effort
should be made to stamp out the
disease at once are the following: 1t
interferes with the sale of animals
both locally and with other states and
countries; it brings about the closure
of fairs and stock markets; it re-
stricts the supply of milk and beef.
1t behooves every farmer to CO.
operate in the fullest way to prevent
the further introduction of the disease
into the state.-Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College Bulletin.

Trip Called Off.

II. Pittman, special tax auditor foI
increasing the taxable value OF the
Prairie Oil & Gas company to the eX-

urging by officials of the company
the board set the case for further

and especially in not including in the
value of its investment the oil leases

COURT OF APPEALS

The criminal court of appeals il
reversing a judgment against e. NJ.
Bryan, who was conyi ted in Sc
qGoyah county for larceny of a hog
gave out new set of instructions
which must be followed by county at
torneys in the preparation of infor-
nations or indictments in similar
cases. The court reversed the judg
ment which was five years in the
state penitentiary upon two grounds
First, that the information was i'm
properly drawn and did not conform
to the law or opinions of the court,
and second, because the testimony in
troduced on behalf of the state was
entirely circumstantial
Bryan was charged with the theft
of black and white spotted hog,
and was convicted in the May, 1872,
term of the district court of Sc
quoyah county. His sentence was

Dock Tatum, but severance was
granted and Bryan was tried first
A Clear indictment.
The criminal court in the opinion
by Judge Armstrong refers to a
number of decisions Of the court
touching upon the point, and sets
forth three allegations that an in
formation or indictment must con-
tain in cases of the kind in which
Bryan is involved in order to con-
form to Section 2667 of the revised
le.ws. The information or indictment
must allege first the felonious taking
OF the property in question without
the knowledge or consent of the
owner. Second the ownership of the
said property, and third the felonious
intent to deprive the owner of the
same and the felonious intent to con,
vert it to the takers own use.
The judgment was reversed and the
case remanded for a new trial should
the county attorney care to prosecute
the case further.
The court handed down one other
opinion, reversing a judgment Of the
Stephens county court against Il. h.
who was convicted of vio-
lation of the prohibitory law and |
sentencted to serve thirty days in
Jail and to pay fine of $50. The
assignment of error upon which the
reversal is based was that the court

the hope of prolonging his life still
further, his physicians decided 20
transfuse new blood into his veins.
His sons in this city agreed to sup

men volunteered to furnish additional
blood in response to an advertise
ment. Tuesday afternoon a pint Of
blood was transfused from the body
Of David VI Botsford to that of his
father but the operation failed to re-
store vitality that had been ebbing
away rapidly for several days. Mr.
Botsford at one time was secretary
