ably narrow escape from death while
crossing a railroad track here i'm an
automobile. In which he had a guam

lumber prevented his hearing an APP

the back of the automobile, damag-

hind wheels.

lost his house ard household goods
by fire a few nights ago. The fire
started from some unknown cause
while Mr.. Moser was in the field after
aload of oats and his first knowledge
of IL was when he saw some of the
neighbors running toward his place.
They all arrived too late. however, to
check the flames and the house and
contents were a total loss. without
insurance.
Mitchell-The new home of Sheriff
4. Il. Owens, into which he expected
to move with his family the first of
October. was destroyed by fire, the
origin OF which is uncertain. When
the fire was discovered, flames were
leaping from the windows. 1t is be-
lieved that some one who had entered
the screened porch during the pre-
vious evening had left a lighted cigar
or cigaret stub there.
Pierre-Out in the vicinity of
Pierre Lodge. at Hisega, the campers
have several times during the sum
mer seen a coyote which carries a
steel trap attached to his tail, and APP
parently does not find ii any great in
convenience in getting about, as the
animal appears to have no difficulty
in keeping up with the other mem
bers of the pack in which 1t runs.
The trap is supposed to be one which
was torn loose from the chain, in a
string of traps set in that part of
the Hills last winter, and which was
carried off by some animal at that
time.
Clear Lake-The destruction by
fire of the large stock barn on the
farm OF George b. Hoy, a we'll known
Deuel. county farmer and stock raiser,
caused a loss estimated at $4,000.
Insurance of about half the amount
Of the loss was carried. In addition
to the barn, eighteen stacks of grain
and two stacks of hay were burned,
the flames communicating to them.
Oyerheated grain stored on the sec

have caused the fire. All the stock

grain burned had been stacked ready
for the threshers and was his entire
crop for this season.

MRS. MILLER RUNS
She Is Wife of the Former
Fourth District Congressman.
Drawn in Race for Congress on
the Republican Ticket.
CHANCES THOUGHT TO BE GOOD
She Has the Endorsement OF
William Allen White.
Says She Looks Like White
Hope on Dark Day.

Fourth district Republicans may
nominate a woman-Mrs. j. M. Miller
of Council Grove-for congress IN
their 1916 primaries. Announcement
of Mrs. Miller'S candidacy is expected
by number of prominent Fourth olS-
trict Republican and it is generally
conceded that the wife of the former
congressman would cause consider
able shake-up among the eight or ten
probable Republican candidates in the
district.
In the Fourth district the Republi-
cans have been unable to agree on a
, congressional leader. They have
looked over some ten or twelve avoW-
ed candidates and probable candidates
and made no selection. In fact the
muddIe in the Fourth district is at
this time more serious than in any
other congressional district in the
state. All of which has added to the
uncertainty concerning the defeat of
Congressman Dudley Doolittle next
year.
Now there is the prospect that the
district will look to woman for lead
/ ership. And Mrs. Miller would prob
ably cause the little army of congress
all of the other possible female selec-
tons in the district. She is the VIE
of ]. M. Miller, former congressman
from the district and possesses a wide
personal acquaintance But that is not
/ all. Far from it. Mrs Miller will not
rely on the fact that she is the wife
of a former congressman If she gets
in the race.
On Her Own Merit.
Strictly because of her own ability
and force of character, she was elect
ed president of the state federation OF
women's clubs. Last year she was &C
corded a place on tn program at the
Kansas Day club banquet, the official
Repu blican club of the state. When
Governor Capper was elected he gave
the Council Grove woman further rec
ognition by appointing her to a posi-
ton on the state penal board which
has charge of the state penitentiary,
4 reformatory and boys and girls indus
trial schools.
Take it from affiant'' said William
Allen White of Emporia, in discussing
Mrs. MilIer's candidacy in a recent edi-
torial she would make some can
didate. She has courage and wisdom
and tact. No organization of watery-
eyed, hanging jowled, sagging-pounch-
ed, barnacles would vote her. She
would be her own congressman and if
she were nominated, Dudley Doolittle
Hustler to get back his job. Far be
it from US to mix into the Repu blican
row, but certainly Mrs. j. NJ. Miller
! looks like a white hope on dark
day.
Considering the further fact that
William Allen White spent many days
and nights carrying grief and sorrow
and woe to James Monroe Miller, hus-
band of Mrs. j. NJ. Miller. the endorse
ment of the Council Grove woman is
doub1y worthy of mention in connec-
ton with the affairs of the district.
With the women voting and eight or
ten men seeking the congressional
nomination, Mrs. Miller may set the
Fourth district on its neck in a cam
paign for the nomination.

In Six Years 1T VIII All B
Over. I'll. Mercer.
Kansas Has Learned How to
Fight the Disease.
COUNTY FARM ADVISER WOW
Assistance From Experts VIII
Be Great Aid to Farmers.
One Year Ago Cholera Cost
Kansas Over S2,0OO,O0O.

Kansas will have no hog cholera
problem in six years. according to the
reports of J. H. Mercer, state live
stock sanitary commissioner. He
pointed out that there have been no
serious outbreaks in the last year and
that the indications are that Kansans
have learned how to fight the dis
ease.
The complete eradication is to be
accomplished, he asserted, by the or
ganization of fighting forces in the
entire state, county by county.
At present the most serious reports
of the disease in the state comes from
Atchison and Leavenworth counties,
where the authorities, headed by z.
H Ross, farm adviser of Leavenworth
county, and C H. Taylor, farm ad-
wiser of Atchison county, co-operat-
ing with the state officials, have unit
ed to combat the disease. Mr.. Mer-
Ger asserted that it is likely that the
disease there will be gotten under con-
troll before it gets any large Roadway.
I'VE can eradicate the disease in
every county in the state just as 1t
has been eradicated in Marshall coun-
ty and it is being driven from Cow
ley and Saline counties he said.
Conduct Experiments.
Government officials. in co-opera-
ton with the state livestock sanitary
department and the department of
Agricultural college. conducted eX-
periments in Marshall county for more
than year. When they began their
work it was asserted that the disease
was prevalent in 1876 farms in the
county and there seemed to be no way
of stopping the scourge. However.
with the establishment of serum and
virus stations and the eradication of
the disease. not a case has been re-
ported from the county in several
months, a record, it is said, that can
be equaled by very few counties in
the west Similar methods employed
by the state departments in Cowley
and Saline counties have resulted, Mr.
Mercer said, in reducing the disease to
a very few cases in each county.
County Farm Adviser.
Wherever possible, Mr.. Mercer sug-
by the county farm adviser, assisted
by representatives of the college and
the state departments.
Minimizing hog cholera outbreaks
means an annual saving of hundreds
of thousands of dollars to Kansas
farmers, Mr.. Mercer pointed out.
While no accurate figures are obtain
able on the annual cost of the dis
ease, a year ago Samuel Graybill,
then state livestock sanitary commits
sioner, reported that it probably ex-
ceeded a million dollars. Mr. Mercer
recently asserted that he believed the
annual loss would reach almost
$2,000,000.
Mr.. Mercer asserted that more care
full handling of hogs, cleaner hog yards
and immuuization by vaccination are
responsible for the decrease in the
prevalence of the scourge.
Three main points in fighting hog
cholera he said, ARE sanitation,
quarantine and immunization by vac
cination, the first two being preven-
tive measures
