Married His Nurse.

An item of interest to our readers is
contained in a dispatch from Schuyler,
Neb., to the effect that Morris E.
Fuller, aged IS, and Miss Anna G. Her
itage, aged 46, were married at the
Fuller farm home near Schuyler, Sept.
14th, by Rev. Everett Moore, rector of
Holy Trinity church. Only a few rela-
tives and close friends of the couple
were present at the ceremony.
Schuyler people were reluctant to be-
lieve the report of the marriage at first
and were only convinced by the official
record.
The bridegroom, who is very feeble
and infrm, is wealthy land owner and
pioneer resident of Schuyler county.
His condition has necessitated the con-
slant attendance of nurse for the last
six years and Miss Heritage, profess
sional nurse, ministered to him during
that period He has been widower
for five months. The bride is promi-
nent member OF Holy trinity church.
The couple are now residing at the
farm home. They will go south for
the winter.
For many years Mr.. Fuller was with
the late John A. johnson and others,
who organized and conducted the Fuller
Johnson Co. at Madison, which became
one of the leading industrial institutions
of that city. In 1896 he removed to
Schuyler where he had large ranch.
Miss Heritage is daughter of j. A.
Heritage who for years conducted
harness shop here, and after the family
removed from Edgerton she took up
nursing as a profession.

bles in which both teams shared. Wat

passes that failed cost them touch
down.

"A number of farmers of this COM
munity were at Lacrosse to attend a
called meeting of stockholders of the
cooperative packing plant. There were
not a sufficient number present to take
decisive action with reference to pres
ent course of the concern. Much APP
prehension is felt for its future. It has
been proposed to reduce the paid-up
capital stock from $3.50, 900 to $50, 900
in order that business may be coutin-
ued. The losses appear to have been
very heavy from the first, it now being

HEALTH NEWS

It is a remarkable fact, confirmed
by many observations, that many phy-
sicians who have devoted considerable
labor to the study of a particular d.
sease. One of the most interesting
examples is that of John Daniel Ma
jor, born Aug. 16, 1884, in Breslau, a
physician and naturalist of NO mean
ability. Bitten early by the wander
lust, he studied at Wittenburg, took
courses at many Of the schools in
Germany, and finally went to Italy
where he received the degree of doc
tor of medicine at Padua in 1860. Re-
turning to his own country, he re-
sided for short time in Silesia, and
in 1861 married at Wittenburg, Mar
garet Dorothy, a daughter of the eel
ebrated Sennert. The following yea,
his young wife was stricken with pla-
que ana died of an illness of eight
days. Distracted by his loss, Major
wandered up and down Europe study
ing plague wherever he found it in the
hope that he might discover cure
for the disease which had bereaved
him. Spain, Germany, France and
Russia were visited by him. He set
tied in 1865 in Kiel, where he was
made professor Of botany and the di-
rector of the botanical gardens. He
made frequent voyages, however, al
ways in quest of the remedy for pla-
que. Finally in 1893, he was called
to Stockholm to treat the queen Of
Charles the Eleventh, then ill with
plague. But before he could render
her any service, he contracted the di-
sease and died on the third of Au-
gust. !
The bubonic plague of today is
identical with the black death of the
Middle Ages. Primarily disease of
rodents caused by a short dumb-bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus, it occurs in man in three
forms; the pneumonia, which has q
death rate Of almost 100 per cent; the
septicaemic, which is nearly as fatal,
and the bubonic in which even with
the most modern methods of treat
ment the mortality is about so per
cent. It is disease Of commerc.
spreading around the globe in the
body Of a ship-born rat. It is esti-
mated that every case of human
plague costs the municipality in which
it occurs at least $500. This does
not take into account the enormous
loss due to disastrous quarantincs and
the commercial paralysis which the
fear Of the disease so frequently pro
duces.
The disease is now treated by 8
serum discovered through the genius
Of Yensin. This is used in much thu
same way as is diptheria antitoxin.
The plague is transferred from t.,
sick rodent to the well man by feas
The sick rat has enormous number,

Since plague is a disease Of rodent
and since it is carried from sick rc
dtMts to well men by rodent fleas
