WADE FAMILY NOT
PLANNING TO MOVE
FRIENDS OF NEW FEDERAL JUDGE
SAY THAT IOWA CITY SHOULD
BE IN DISTRICT.

Iowa City, M. ]. Wade, who was in
Washington, d. c., when President
Wilson sent to the senate the noted
Iowa democratic leaders nomination
as successor to the late Judge Smith
Mcpherson of Red Oak, is expected
home soon. No statement has been
made here for publication by Judge
Wade as to his intentions, but his fam
lily admits that there is no removal
from Iowa City planned in the Wade
home
This indicates that Judge Wade has
assurances that the transfer of Iowa
City to the southern Iowa district is
promised along with the honor that
has been accorded him by the admin
istration. Iowa City was in the south
ern district originally and was gerry
wandered out of it, to make Cedar Rap
ids court affairs satisfactory, it is said.
Therefore, a restoration of the univers-
ity city to the southern bailiwick
would not only make things pleasant
for the new appointee, but would be
simple return to condition that once
existed.
1t is announced by the firm Of Wade,
butcher & Davis, that Judge Wade will
retire from the partnership, and the
younger members, Charles M. butcher,
formerly for years secretary of the
Iowa State Bar association, and Wal
ter NJ. Davis, president of the Johnson
County Savings bank, will continue
the practice of law under the name of
butcher & Davis.

VACCINE MEN ARE
WINNERS IN CASE
ACTION INVOLVED TECHNICAL
POINT ON MATTERS OF
SERUM TREATMENT.

Clarion, March 1.-THE jury return
ed verdict in favor of the defendant
vaccine manufacturers in most I'M
portant case which occupied three
days of the district court, case which
is thought to be the first touching the
question involved to be tried in the
state. and which will be a precedent
relative to the liability of hog cholera
serum manufacturers as to results
from the use of their cholera proven
tatives and remedies.
The case is entitled J H. Nitchem
VS.. the Ames Vaccine company of Fort
Dodge, and Dr. e. G. Evers of Gold.
field. the veterinarian who administer,
ed the serum to the Nitchem hogs.
The jury was composed of farmers.
The incident of the case dates back
to September 10, 1918, when hog chol'
era was very prevalent throughout
this county. The evidence in the case
developed that the plaintiff summoned
DR.. Evers to administer the serum,
which was purchased from the Ames
Vaccine company, to his herd OF hogs'
Thirty brood sows which were with
sucking pigs and eighty-fve shoats
were vaccinated. Twenty-seven runts
and affected pigs were not submitted
to the treatment owing to this condi-
ton.
Treated Hogs Died.
The hogs treated Immediately began
to swell along the side and within
twenty.four hours twenty-seven OF the
brood sows, eighty-three OF the shoats
and about 100 of the sucking pigs
died. Plaintiffs petition charges the
defendants with the responsibility OF
the death of the hogs, because Of i'm
pure and poisonous serum USED ana
contributory negligence in the ADMIN
istering of the same and asked for
Judgment of $2,525 In payment for MS
loss. Several expert witnesses were
on the stand and the evidence was
very conflicting as to the condition OF
the hogs when treated, the condition
Of the prem ,es and corn given Tue
hogs after treatment, which mlgnt
have contributed to this sudden death.
Z; 10 instructions or the court 1ndlcat-
ed that the burden of proof was upon
the plaintiff to show that the serum
was the more probable cause OF death
than four or five other possible causes.
The Jury has not yet returned YER
dict. =,
The results Of this case will be
watched with keen interest and con-
Germ as upon it's result depends the
future business of manufacturing and
selling hog virus and serum. Before
the case was submitted to the jury
on motion of defendants counsel tho
court absolved the co-defendant, pr.
Eyers. as a party to the case and IN
structed the jury to consider the Ames
Vaccine company only, as DR.. hvers
could not be liable in any event.

The coat is cut like kimono, on the

slashed up at each side to a depth of
about eight inches at the bottom.
There is a shaped band of silk about
the neck and down the front opening

in lovely shade of grayish blue silk
and lined with white silk of the same

backgrounds for the long sprays of
flowers and leaves that wander over
the surface of the coat. The chrysan-

the flower so faithfully portrayed in
the embroidery. The stems and leaves
are in a soft gray green.
The embroidery appears at each
side Of the front and across the back,
