Plan Hog Cholera Clinic at Fair.

The success that has accompanied the
proper vaccination of millions of hogs
for hog cholera have convinced the
majority of our foremost live stock
authorities and practical stockmen
that the only certain and reliable
method to prevent and control this
terrible swine disease is the treat
ment with hog cholera serum.
There is still much skepticism and
regarding the results that can be OBJ
tanned by such treatment. Careless
and bungling on the part of the IN
trained men who give it, and m1sun-
derstandings as to the processes that
are involved are causes for this feel,
ing. To acquaint hog men with the
actual steps in the manufacture and
correct administration of the serum,
the United States department OF agrl-
culture and the Wisconsin College OF
agriculture will cooperate with the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders as
ISOLATION in providing hog cholera
demonstration at the state fair in Mil
waukee.
This feature will be in connection
with the profitable and improbable
farm animal exhibit which the live
stock association will maintain during
the week Arrangements have been
made by Mr. Faunce, who is conduct
ing a hog cholera investigation in Wis
consin for the department of agricul-
ture. and R. Baker, assistant secretary
of the association, in charge of the ex-
hibit. whereby ample space will be pro-
yided for the cholera demonstration in
tho tent that will house the live stock.

ALL EUROPE IS ON
BRINK OF CONFLICT
WAR EXPECTED TO INVOLVE
EVERY NATION WITH Elk
CEPTION OF SPAIN.
ITALY NEAR BREAKING POINT
Turkey to Be Embroiled Over Shelter
ing German Ships and
Rest of Balkans Will
Follow.

London, Aug. 14.-Indications now
point Enthusiastically to the spread OF
the war to every European nation
with the exception of Spain. France
today published it's declaration of hos
tilities against Austria-Hungary, fol
lowing England's similar action yes
terday. Italy, it is asserted, is also
on the verge of breaking with Franz
Josef.
Others Will Enter War.
Washington, Aug. 13.-All Europe,
with the single exception of Spain,
will become involved in the war now
in progress between Great Britain,
Russia and France on the one hand
and Germany and Austria on the
other
Information received here convinces
the diplomats advised by their gov
ernments that it is only a question of
a short time until Italy and Roumania
will enter the conflict. Turkey has
given Russia and her allies cause for
complaint by permitting the German
cruisers Goebel and Breslau to enter
the Dardanelles, when only few days
ago she announced that this passage
was closed to belligerent warships.
Balkans Near Hostilities.
If Turkey should take part in the
war. Greece will act. Bulgaria,
which is bitterly hostile to Servia,
Roumania and Greece, undoubtedly
will be forced to throw in her fortunes
with them and Russia, Great Britain
and France.
The only two countries which
would be free from the strife are
Switzerland and Spain, and in the
case of the former there is imminent
danger that she will have to fight IN
order to preserve her neutrality, just
as Belgium is doing.

Jansen Heads Chiefs.

Chief John T. Jansen, by unanl-
nous vote. was elected president OF
the Wisconsin Police Chiefs assocla-
ton at meeting in Milwaukee. Other
officers elected are: Vice-presldent'
owen O'Hare, Kenosha; secretary
Don Mckay, Waukesha.
The duty of a police department Is
to protect life and property and pre-
serve peace" said Chief Jansen, ad-
dressing the convention The police
cannot be expected to raise the chill
dren of family. 1t is going little
beyond a policemans Office to hold
him responsible for the morality OF in
dividuals, outside of cases where they
transgress law and good order
This was in answer to complaints
made by several delegates, that par
ents were antagonistic when the po-
lice approached them on the misde
meanors of their children.

FRANCE DECLARES
WAR ON AUSTRIA

Paris, Aug. 10.-France and Austria
finally are officially at war, the ambas-
sailors having left the respective cap
itals. The French government broke
off Diplomatic relations with Austria
on the grounds that Austrian troops
were reinforcing the Germans.
The declaration of war had been ex-
pected for the last three days, but
France was determined that she would
not act until something definite had
taken place on which declaration
could be based This was in order to
prevent Italy being forced into the
conflict as an ally of Austria.
France Feared Attack.
When the announcement was re-
ceived that Austrian troops. under the
grand duke of Tuscany, had crossed
Lake Constance and were at Basel on
the Swiss border, prepared to attack
the French forces operating in Alsace,
a peremptory demand that Austria de-
clare her position was made. The Aus
TRAN ambassador was sent for and
was given until Monday night to get
a definition of the Austrian position.
This was not done, so the foreign Of
fee handed the ambassador his pass
norts and war was Immediately de-
cared.
At the same instant the French am
bassador at vierna applied to his Aus
TRAN foreign Office for his passports

Buildings VIII Be Permanent.

Instead Of two temporary structures
the state fair special committee on
buildings decided to make them per-
manent, and let contracts for red
brick construction.
Both must be completed and turned
over to the board on September 4.
Each is to be II feet wide and 200
feet long, and the two will furnish
more room for exhibition purposes
than the six destroyed by last Sun
days fire.
klug G Smith, who are rebuilding
the cattle barn destroyed by the wind
storm, resBxTed the contract for the
building which is to house the fine
arts, womans work and horticultural
exhibits, for $11,750
The county exhibits and agricultu-
ri buildings will be erected by Mad
son, Christensen & Igbretson, at
cost of 1852. Both companies have
put up bonds insuring completion on
time.
The building committee of the state
fair board consists of Thomas SAKE,
q. e. Kuntz, Milwaukee; James ].
Nelson of Amherst. President o. G.
Rewey, Secretary ]. G. Mackenzie,
Architect A c. Clas and E. c. Hal
bert, state insurance adjuster, assist
ed in consideration of plans and bids.
The $5,000,000 Wisconsin 1914 state
fair will be housed better than ever be-
iore,' said President o. G. Rewey, de
spite the fact that most of the state
fair buildings have been RACED by fire
and tornado The contracts we have
let insure more room than we have
ever had, and the new buildings mt
In with the future plans for develop
ment of the grounds.
Secretary Mackenzie and | have
figured the value of this years exhiD-
Its, and find they greatly exceed So
100000. 1t is safe to call this WIS
consin's 100000 fair. 1t is going to
be the biggest and best Wisconsin has
ever had.
Give US the weather, and we will
have a record breaking exposition.

ARMIES CONTINUE
SHARP BATTLES
FRENCH AND BELGIAN ACCOUNTS
SAY GERMANS HAVE BEEN
FORCED BACK.
BIG BATTLE THOUGHT NEAR
kaiser's Army Resumes Attack on
Forts Around Liege, But Berlin
Remains Silent on Cam
paign's Progress.

London, Aug. 14-The hour of the
great battle which will have much to
do with settling the future of Europe
is approaching nearer.
Reports of engagements, which
when the main armies meet, will be
considered insignificant have been
coming in all day, showing that the
cavalry screens, sometimes accompa-
MED by infantry, whose duty it is to
find out what is going on behind, have
come into contact in northern Belgium
near Haelen, and on the French from
tier near Obtain.
The meeting of these accommodating
parties in force has resulted in some
pretty severe fighting in which, ac-
cording to the French and Belgian Off
cial accounts, the allies scored further
successes.
Berlin Remains Silent.
The other side of the story is still
to be told, for Berlin remains silent.
In fact the German war office has had
little to say since it reported the cap
ture of the city of Liege. The position
around that fortress is yelled in some
thing of mystery. The Germans have
resumed their attacks on the forts, but
how they are progressing has not been
communicated to the outside world.
Brussels had report that the forts
had succeeded in silencing all the big
German guns, but little credence is
placed in this. 1t may be that for the
moment the invaders have stopped
their onslaught, either to rest or to
adopt some new means of gaining
their object.
1900 Are Engaged.
The Germans engaged in the battle
of Haelen, according to late details,
numbered more than 10000, composed
of cavalry artillery and a small force
of infantry. The Belgian forces num-
bered about 1000.
Britain and Austria at War.
London, Aug. 14.-Diplomatic reia-
tions between Great Britain and Aus
tria- Hungary were formally broken on
on Thursday, and state OF war was
declared to exist beginning at MID
night. At the same time, the text OF
the declaration of war between France
against Austria, which was transmit
ted on Monday, was made public In
Paris.
The fact that Great Britain deferred
her declaration of war against Aus
tria until now is believed to indicate
that she meant to utilize the delay TO
get her Mediterranean fleet ready for
action. and an attack upon the Aus
trian ships as well as the Austrian
mort of Pola may now be expected any
minute. Reports from Italy Indicate
that the combined English and French
fleets are ready to engage the Aus
TRAN. who are said to have taken up
position near Pola.
Blame Dual Monarchy.
The declaration of war was followed
by this statement from the BRUSH
foreign Office:
"Diplomatic relations between
France and Austria-Hungary being
broken off, the French government re-
ouested his majesty's government TO
communicate to the Austria-Hungary
ambassador in London the following
declaration:

OMAHA STRUCTURAL STEEL Co.
On the basis Of $35 90 per rum
ming foot, it is estimated that the
bridge across the Gila river can lie
built for $l8,000.00. This would
give bridge of a capacity of Is
tons to the foot, amply heavy
enough for any traffic to cross from
the north side of the river.
The people of the north side of
the river, who are asking for this
bridge, have also provided by sub
scription list for the payment of any
additional expenses for the ap-
proaches.
Il would seem then that the quail
fled voter would be in favor of con-
structing this bridge. The assess
ment on $1.O0O.0O taxable prop
erty would be $l.80, and this tax
would not be collected until Decem.
ber, 1915, a year from now.
There is no doubt but that a
bridge across the Gila river which
would enable the people of the north
side of the river to cross at any
time and market their products and
also allow them to come over and
do their trading at any town in the
valley, will be very beneficial to
every town in the valley, and the
business men of the valley should
see it in this light.
1t cannot help being a great bene.
fit to Stafford, as the business men
of this town are sure of some of the
trade which they do not get now.
The bridge will help everybody. the
business man, the traveller, the
farmer. 1t will open up a country
whose lands are rich and productive
and in the end be the means of in
creasing the assessable wealth of the
county.
The bridge across the Gila river
is the best public improvement that
could be thought of at this time and
should appeal strongly to every
qualified voter in the county.
Vote yes for the construction of
the bridge.
