NEW FOOT-AND-MoUT OUTBREAK CONFINED
 TO A NARROW CHANNEL.
Only Animals Intended for Inn mediate Slaughter Are Affected and the Disease Has Not Spread Through the Farm Stock.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The dis covery of foot-and-mouth infection in the stockyards of nine cities-Chl- cago, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louis yille Buffalo, Cincinnati Columbus,
 Jersey City and Ba1timore-which has resulted in the closing of these
 stockyards until they have been by the federal auth critics as un-
 doubtedly a setback in their cam paign to eradi cate the plague but is considered to be by no means as ser ious a. matter as if the disease had broken out in stock held on the farm. All the cattle affected were destined for immediate slaughter at various points. No stockers or feeders were included among them. The infection
 therefore has been laid over a trail
 that runs in straight easi1y-traeed
 lines from city to city. The stamp ing out of it is principally matter of disinfecting all cars used in these shipments and all yards through
 which they have passed. On the other hand when the disease nrst
 broke out last fall it was spread over
 the country by a large number of hipnents of stockers and feeders which were distributed more or less broadcast to the farms in many ] states. To trace each one of the ami mals in these shipments to its uIf1- mate destination was task of much greater magnitude than the authort- ties now face.
 The new outbreak, however, in the opinion of the federal authorities em- l phasizes the necessity of adhering | for some time longer to the quaran- | tine regulations that prohibit the shipment of any | stock from the quarantined area for any purpose
 except immediate slaughter, and also prohibit it's shipment at all to points in free area. If feeders and stockers
 were to be sent out from the quar- 1 antined areas there would always be l the danger of the disease spreading 1 once more among the farms, and the country being thrown back in the condition that it was in in October. The government also holds that
 cattle purchased for slaughter and l found to be affected with foot-and-
 mouth disease shall not be paid for l but may be condemned under the
 federal meat inspection law like any
 other diseased stock. Purchasers of
 cattle for slaughter in territory l where there is reason to suspect the 1 existence of the disease, purchase at l their own risk, and there IS no req
 son why the governrnen should in-
 sure them against the possibility of
 loss. For the government to do this
 would be in fact to put a premium upon. the reckless buying of suspect- ed animals and make the task of 1l1-
 tirnately eradicating the diseases much harder. Inspectors havex also been warned against the possibility
 that stock ostensibly intended for inn- mediate slaughter might be diverted for sale as feeders and stockers. and 1 they have been inAtructeG to see that 1 all such stock is slaughtered without I delay.

A Thrilling story Of Man Careless
With His Intimate Correspondence
(By Miss Clair-Ida DeFluh)
On my desk this morning I found
the letter printed below, together
with the following enclosure, signed
by Mr.. Nichols, Of the Bismarck Pan
titorium, which is self.explanatory:
Dear Miss DeFluff: while going
through the pockets Of suit Of
clothes which is my usual custom
preparatory to cleaning the same (the
suit, not the pockets particularly ]

Of the coat pockets The suit belongs
to jeff White to whom the letter was
addressed. We have made strenuous
efforts to get in touch with Mr.. White
but without avail. Knowing he is q
constant reader of your column and
that he has very successfully side
stepped any publicity in the past,
probably due to his "pull' with the
push" he trains with, we are send.
ing you the tender missive, feeling
certain It will look just as we'll in
print as it sounded when read in the
unromantic environments of a Dry

Very truly yours,

Now, Just a word to the gentleman
on the Job: You state that you went

mors of such feats have reached me,
from which I gather that you do a
most excellent piece Of cleaning" at
your establishment. However, the
old saw has it: IAN honest confession
is good for the SOUL" and as this ad-
vertising is only dollar line, here
is the letter:

was picked up by an officer and led to
the discovery that he was wanted at
Wichita. The book contained some
notatiOns and dates of transactions at
Wichita. and Chief Groome wrote the
officials at that place asking if Smith
was known there and if he was wanted
for any violation of the law. Sunday
the chief received a telegram from the
sheriff at Wichita telling him that he
would come for Smith, that he was
wanted for forgery. and asked whether
the man would go without extradition
papers Smith told Chief Groome that
he would willingly go with the Kan
sas officer and that extradition papers
were not necessary.
Smith on last Monday married Mrs.
Minnie Abate, widow of the late Joe
Abate, under the name of Frank Lyle.
He told Mrs. Abate that he was
wealthy: had forty thousand dollars in
cash and just oodles of priceless jew
els The last the bride saw of Smith
was when he borrowed % cents from
her the day after the wedding. for the
purpose. he said, of wiring for ten
thousand dollars The next day Smith
landed in Jail on charge of drunken
ness. Mrs. Lyle has filed suit for di
vorce.
