CORN STALK DISEASE
RAVAGES NEBRASKA
CBy United Press.)

LINCOLN, Neb, Feb. 1.-THE raw.
ages of the corn stalk disease among
horses this winter are the worst in the
history Of Nebraska, according to Or.
Charles NJ. Day, state field veterina-
rian. in a report today
According TO word received by the
state veterinarian s department from
one Of its field men, over two hundred
horses have died IN one county alone
as a result of the disease.
The animals affected with the dis
ease first become affected with drowsl-
ness and later become d~elirious. The
disease is acute ana death results in
a few days. The attacks are in almost
every instance fatal.
A substance in the corn stalk on
which the animals feed causes the poi
soning. An analysis by government
at Washington resulted in the
that the poisonous substance IS
a species of mould.

The legislature has passed Dill 10
abolish county teachers Institutes.
The view here expressed may not meet
the approval of some people but we
look upon the action of the legislature
in doing away with teachers lnstl-
tutes as a wise and economical meas
ure. These institutes are always held
a. a time when schools are iT session,
requiring a vacation of a week, gen.
orally only a short time after school
opens in the fall, diverting the atten-
ton of both teachers and pupils from
work we'll in hand, thus creating an
awkward break in studies, recitations
and discipline just in the formative
period of the school year. Then these
institutes are very expensive luxuries
for the county, and it is very doubtful
if the benefits teachers derive are
commensurate with the cost. A few
more such cuts as that in the expense
Of running counties may have per-
ceptible effect in reducing the taxes
that people are groaning under.

GENEROSITY OF OLD TIMERS

w. V. Champneys, the we'll known
pioneer stock man of the Similkameen
valley came in Friday last on bust
ness, and remained over Saturday.
Mr.. Champneys delayed his return
home to see his old friend Alex Nc
Cauley, for whom he has high re-
gard founded upon an incident that
occurred very many years ago. 1t was
about the time when Mr.. Champneys
came into the country, and the white
man was few and far between. Mr..
Champneys is blacksmith by occupa-
ton, and was desirious of opening a
shop, but was deferred for the good
reason that he found himself without
a dollar and shy materials. His situa-
ton came to the ears of Mr.. MeCauley.
and that generous old COW man not
only advanced Mr.. Champneys money
without solicitation, but used his in
tuence with others to such good eff
feet that the stranded son of Vulcan
became possessed OF the means and
material to start in business. It was
this kind and unexpected assistance
that kept Mr.. Champneys in the coun
try and marked the beginning of a
successful career, for he has gradual
~ forged ahead every year since those
dark and gloomy days of financial en-
oarassment, until now he is classed
az one of the wealthy men of the coun-
Ly' 1t was the helping hand of the big
hearted Scotchman that made COM
portable circumstances possible. hence
there is little wonder that Vic Champ
neys, who is not the man to forget a
Iavor, is always anxious to see Uncle
Alex when he comes to town.
