Madison Readers Can No Long

Again and again we have read %
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Madison's pertinent question has
always been HAS anyone here in

stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but il cannot have the
same weight with us as the word of
our W citizens, whom we know and

poratioB aid other iron and steel com.
panies In the East were permitted to
stand.
That will mean that unless the
courts enioin the trunk lines from dis
continuing the allowances or the com
mission should give a %rehearing Of the
industrial railways case the tariffs will
be effective against the steel corpora
tons roads and against those of other
iron and steel companies.
1t is estimated by experts of the
commission that elimination of such
payments would mean an annual loss
to the steel corporation alone of about
$4,000, 900.
The order provides for hearings. No
date has been fixed, but 1t is scarcely
likely they will be held before next
autumn, in which event it will be
necessary for the commission before
July 80 further to suspend the tariffs.

BANK CLOSES
THE SECURITY STATE BANK OF
FAULkTON IN HANDS OF
EXAMINER

Pierre, April 2.-The security
State bank of Faulkton has been
placed in the hands of the
state bank examiner for liquidation.
This bank suspended upon the death
of A.. w. Morse. its president, in
October, 1913, but recently resumed
operation, Aberdeen capitalists hold
ing a large share OF the stock. The
bank went into the hands of the ex-
aminer following a conference be-
tween Mrs. Morse, widow of the late
president, and #. ID. Cannon, of
Aberdeen, president of the reorgan-
ixed bank, and o. II. Christian, cash
Ter.
Before they left the city. Messrs.
Cannon and Christian were served
papers by Gardner a. Churchhill, of
Huron, Representing Mrs. Morse.
bringing against them three suits by
the minor heirs and the widow of A.
w. Morse, the first for damages for
closing the bank, the second for al
legged fraud, and the third for con
version of the assets of the bank.
According to the claims of Mrs.
Morse, the sale of the estate to the
Cannon interests was never APP
proved by the county court, and she
further claims that the Cannon in
terests had improperly classified the
assets and liabilities, having classed
items as liabilities which were as
sets. An effort was made to adjust
these claims at the meeting here,
the result being no agreement, and,
according to Mrs. Morse's statement,
the Cannon interests have forced the
bank into the hands Of the examiner
for liquidation.

HOG CHOLERA
CAMPAIGN TO BE WAGED BY
THE LIVE STOCK SANITARY
BOARD

Pierre, April 2.-Regulations pro-
viding for quarantine for farms on
which hog cholera exists, and for the
manner of handling virus and serum
for control of the disease was out
lined at the meeting of the state live
stock sanitary board. 1t was decided
to hold schools of instruction at var
ious points in the state to instruct
veterinarians and others interested
i'm the proper methods of immuniZa-
ton as well as prevention of hog
cholera by sanitary handling. A five
days course was adopted and will be
carried out as fast as it is possible
to arrange for competent instructors.
Application has been made to the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry for demonstration work in
one of the counties of the state.
To protect farmers from impotent
serums, it was proposed, Ii possible,
that a supply of commercial serum
be purchased and kept On hand at
the state serum plant, to be thor
oughly tested before distribution,
at a price simply covering the or
iginal cost, plus that of testing and
handling, believing that serum can
be purchased in large quantities that
would allow of this being done at a
price not to exceed the regular retail
price of the same. All virus neces-
sary for the entire state can be pro-
duced at the state laboratory.
On account of the possible damage
from indiscriminate use of virus, and
for the general handling of the hog
nl-l~.. .s4w.aYtA.u H. Alx 1t4a H.
state live stock sanitary board adopt
ed the following regulations:
To prohibit any shipment or intro
duction into the state by any means
any hog cholera or other active virus
as an infective agent for diseases of
domestic animals, except upon order
of the board.
Require all hog cholera used in
the state to be secured from the lab
oratory of the state college at Brook
ings.
Prohibit the state college labora-
tory from delivering any virus to any
other persons who have taken in
struction in its use and have been
granted permits by the board to use
1t upon their own FARMS.
Require all hogs to be treated I'M
der quarantine.
Require large green quarantine
cards to be supplied by the board,
to be posted on farms or enclosures
where hog cholera exists.
Require all persons authorized to
use virus to report their work to the
state board.
Prohibit selling or distribution of
serum In this state unless same has
been prepared under supervision of
the Uuited States department of ag-
riculture.
1t Is hoped that these regulations
will hip in controlling any further
epidemic of hog cholera in the state.

confronted. by laying off long time

failing expenditures In improvements.
Forced to Lay Off Men.
"Since September. 1913" said Pres
dent Smith, I'VE have been forced to
reduce our operating force by n 500
men. In February of this year, as
compared with February of last year,
we had 5 1000 less men"
Recent developments have impelled
the commission to put aside collateral
issues and extraneous questions and
devote practically It's entire time to
the rate question.
IL is the purpose of the commission
TO expedite In every possible way final
disposition of the case and to that
end continued hearings will be held
until the testimony shall have been
concluded. That may occupy several
days.
Counsel for the railroads already
have indicated that they may waive

in some instances expressed their
