What Are You Doing Against
Ohoiera7

Hog cholera is again becoming
very prevalent in several locali-
ties of Bates and Cass counties.
Carlessness on the part of some
swine raisers who have had chol-
era on their farms is largely re-
sponsible for this condition.
Upon investigating the manage
ment of severa! herds that are
sick with cholera it was readily
seen that no measures were being
used whatever to keep the neigh
bors from getting the disease. On
these farms sick hogs were al
lowed to run over the fields with
the well hogs and in some cases
streams were running through
these fields. The water Of such
streams will be contaminated and
carry Infection to the farms be-
low. On some Of these farms
dead hogs have been buried in
stead of burned which is another
violation of good principles Of
sanitation. Furthermore it is a
violation of the law to dispose of
dead hogs in any other way than
to burn them, as the law requires
that all dead hogs be burned with
in twenty-four hours after death.
1t also requires that the owner Of
sick hogs shall notify his neigh
bors. The driving of sick hogs
along the public highway or
across public property is strictly
prohibited.
1t ought not to be necessary to
have a law to compel people to
properly care for diseased hogs
as they should consider the i'm
portance Of keeping the infection
from spreading over their farm
and to the neighboring farms.
Farmers in general are depend
ing too much on vaccination and
not enough on sanitation and bet
ter methods of hog management
TO keep their herds free from
cholera. 1t is advisable, however,
to vaccinate when the disease is
in the immediate neighborhood
hut cleanup methods and better
care Of hogs should be, practiced
at all times.
At present there is very little
lime used which is the most prac-
teal disinfectant to use.
1t has been reported that dead
hog was seen floating down the
Miami River in the northwest
part of Bates county. All farm:
ers having hogs on. this stream
should move them to other fields
[ want to request the officers
Of the Anti Hog Cholera Clubs
and cooperators to see that every
farmer in their community will
cooperate with the work by prop
erly handling diseased swine.

A Mistaken

By DWIGHT NORWOOD

the room where the coffin rested OF

Mrs. MacElroy looked down upon tn,
corpse with melancholy visage. ther
went to her seat and whispered tC
Mrs Martin beside her:
"He looks very natural"
''Do you think sol l wouldn't know
him." 49,
Mrs. Gonigle leaned forward and
remarked in subdued voice that she
had been asked to go to the hospital
where he had died and identify him.
She was In doubt at first, but as she
looked the features seemed to throw off
the death look and take on lifeliEe
appearance. She would stake her life
on his being Parker.
Nathan Parker had left home sew
eral days before to go to work at bis
trade-he was plasterer-and had not
returned. He had complained of dir
illness and was seen to stagger as he
walked down the street. Night came
and he did not return. His wife was
worried about him and fearful that he
had collapsed. she would have gone
to inquire Of his employer, but her

that day and unfortunately did not in
form her where it was.
That night was one of great anxiety
to Mrs. Parker. She went to the
grocery and called up every hospital IN
town, asking If man of the name of
Parker was there. They all replied
that they had no such person among
their patients. The next day passed
without bringing the missing mans
return. Mrs. Parker sent out a police
alarm, but nothing came Of q.
linen one day the missing mans son
concluded to go the rounds Of the hos.
pitfalls in search of his father. At one
of them he found that man had died
who had been taken In unconscious
and no name obtained. He had fallen
on a sidewalk, been picked up by pc.
liceman and brought to the hospital In
an ambulance. He had died the day
before.
John Parker went in TO see the
corpse, dreadlng to find his father. He
no sooner looked upon it than he Gov
cred his eyes with his hands, There
lay the man he had feared to see Then
he went home and informed his moth
or co what he had found. After she
had given way to the first outbursts
of grief she asked John If he was sure
that the body he had seen was that
of his father. John said he was, but
there would be no harm in sending
some one else TO identify it. Stephen
Parker, the deceased's brother, went
TO the hospital and expressed q doubt
that the corpse was that of Nathan.
Then Mrs. Gonigle, an intimate friend
of the family, went to the hospital
and confirmed Johns report.

Mrs. Parker took her husband away
from Johnny and Rugged him.
Meanwhile Parker, who had just got

either unconscious or delirious, sue

she had seen him fall, had gone out
and had instructed several persons who

for doctor to attend him.
Parker asked how long he had been
there, and when she told him 1t was

that he must go to his family, who
would be worried about him. On APP

accounts given by the Roman writers
that in the reign of Augustus, the first
Of the emperors, when Rome was at
the height of its power, the amount of
gold in the Roman empire was nearly
$1,000, 100000 This vast treasure had
been gathered chiefly by conquest from
various nations of Europe, Asia and
Africa. There had been extensive
mines in Spain and in the Atlas noun

The Land Question
Though the land bill, Senate Bill 1877,
had been read by sections and subject
ed to all the amendments that the
members could then think of last Man
day night in the committee of the
whole, it was taken up yesterday
morning in the committee and the
amendments were resumed, abinitiO,
that is. with the first section of the bill
describing the constitution of the land
commission. Or rather. the first
amendment offered was to the section
describing the board of appraisers.
Originally the bill provided that the
appraisers should be the board of su-
pervisors in the county where the pub
lie land lay. For the protection of the
interests of the state this section was
amended making the board of apprais-
ers consist of the chairman of the tax
commission, one of the members of the
land commission and the chairman of
the board of supervisors in the county
where the land was to be appraised
An amendment yesterday attempted
the personnel of the board of
consist of the chairman of the board of
supervisors, the county engineer and
the county assessor The objection that
the state would be without representa-
'tion was renewed and it was agreed
that the land commission might. name
the appraisers from within or without
the county affected.
Then an attack was renewed upon
the personnel of the land commission.
Senator Webb offered a motion that
the commission should consist of one
man who should be elected. A heated
controversy ensued in which Mr. Webb
and his supporters were charged with
striking at the members of the COM
mission in the dark. Mr.. Webb said
that the amendment was offered only
in the interest of economy; $4,000
would be saved in two years.
