Dreaded Foot and Mouth Disease
Reported to Have Again Made
It's Appearance.

/. Alarm over the possibility of
new outbreak of the foot-and
mouth disease spread Monday and
was reflected in quarantine and
embargo orders. The Union Stock
yards at Chicago have declared a
quarantine against all cattle, sheep,
horses and swine originating in
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. A
trainload of livestock was held up
at Clinton, Iowa, for examination.
DR.. o. d. Dyson, State Waterman
ian of Illinois, issued orders on the
stockyards of Chicago and East
st. Louis forbidding the shipment
of any livestock except for imme-
date slaughter. This, it was ex-
planned, affects only small pro-
portion of livestock handled there.
The animals affected are those not
yet heavy enough for slaughter and
which are reshipped from the yards
to farms for further feeding. At
this time this traffic is said to be
light.
At Kansas City the embargo es-
tablished Saturday night probably
will remain effective until Wednes-
day, by which time it will be known
whether suspected animals have
contracted the malady. Federal in
spectons are at work among sus-
pected herds.
Springfield, Ill.-Orders closing
the Union Stock Yards at Chicago
and the National Stock Yards at
East st. Louis against the ship
ment of any cattle, Sheep or hogs
save for immediate Slaughter were
issued by State Veterinarian Dyson
Monday after receipt of news of q
suspected outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease in Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri.
Kansas City.-The temporary
quarantine imposed upon the local
stock yards Saturday night be-
cause of suspected cases of foot
and mouth disease, probably will
! remain in effect until Wednesday.
At that time the effect of hte virus
on the inoculated pigs and calves
will determine positively whether
the cases are foot and mouth di-
sease, officials at the stock yards
announced Monday.

shipment of cattle, sheep or swine
into Colorado has been placed

J. r. MAGowAN's HORSE SALE

Mr.. James R. Mcgowan, Of this
city, sold a number of horses at the
Old Glory sale at Madison Square
Garden, New York, last Thursday.
His consignment was headed by the
champion yearling trotter OF the
year, DR.. Elmore ~ 2:241a, for
which he received, :. the handsome
price of $4,000, which is by the
way, the highest price paid at pub
lie auction for yearling in the last
fifteen years. This colt is out Of

unbroken yeariings that sold from
$145 to $4O0. The Mcgowan con-
signment attracted more attention
than any consignment at the sale.
While in New York more than two
dozen mares were booked to the

Numbers on Football Players.

The mum bering of players in foot ball games for the convenience of the spectators, few of whom know one player from another, was adopt ed by Dartm outh some time ago, and later it had the approval of Prince ton, which is always progressive. Har- ward and Yale refused peremptorily to have anything to do with the inno vation, regarding the numbers as too much like professionalism and as cheapening the sport of football.
 In one or two instances where cap- tains and coaches expressed them selves about the proposal there was a yelled inttmatiOn that it was no concern of the public, although among the patrons of the games were many graduates and their families Perhaps this consideration has at last begun to tell, for Yale, which only a year ago was immovable, has now decided to number its players. Har- yard, we believe, still holds out. May we not expect that Percy Haughton, the greatest of football coaches, hav- ing lost the support of New Haven, will gracefully yield?
 To our way of thinking, there is nothing professional or undignifed in track athletes carrying numbers to identify them as they cross the line in a race. If numbers are neces- sary in track sports why are they not at least desirable on the football field? It Is true that the game can be played without them but we venture to say that the officials who have to follow the different plays and make decisions would sometimes be aided by the sight of number on a players broad back. As to the spectators their un- derstanding of gridiron strategy and their enjoyment of the contest would be vastly greater. This season VIC hope to see all the players, including MT. Haughton's we'll drilled athletes, showing identification numbers as they dodge and run about the field kick goals and dash across the line for tOuchdowns.

This Cannot Happen Now.

The Federal Farm Loan Act has been passed, and Farm and Preside tells an interesting story about some of the evils which made such an act necessary for the protection of the farmer. It says:
 Here's a little story about one farmers experience in borrowing money that may point moral in con- nection with the passage of the Fed eral Farm Loan Act:
 His farm was worth comforta bly, S25,0OO, and was carrying an incum- brance of $5,O00 on real estate. He had perhaps s1o,OOO worth of stock, crops, personal property, and excel lent general credit. He decided to borrow $3,O00 more to make inn provements that would immediately add largely to the earning power of the farm.
 Applying to the people who car- ried the $5,O00 loan, he was assured that money was tight; they couldn't furnish him what he needed but across the street another agency was glad to do it.
 Yes, he could get an $8,OOO loan, but on only first mortgage security: that would pay off the old loan and give him $3,O00 of new capital. He made the loan at per cent
 and paid a per cent. com mission on it-that is, on the entire s8.0OO, | though he got only $3,OO0 of addi- tional capital, and had paid a like commission on the older loan. Here's the way it worked ont: "The people who had carried the original plan got their money handed i back to them, to remain idle till fhav | could find a new investment for if. After they had lost their interest on 1t for some time, it was loaned a,ew 1 and a ? per cent commissi on taken for replacing 1t
 Thus in this series of transactions.
 by which the farmer raised s3.OOO of
 new cash on gilt-edged security. l there was placed a total of S13OO0 1 Of loans, on all of which the gojna commission of per cent was paid |: total of commissions $26O: all of if
 'earned' by the pleasant process, oe | shifting some loans about, all or l them In the same neighborhood. IT l was neat little transa ction by which | the lo1n agents got new commissions. ! and the borrowers got the privileee 1 or paving those commissions"

 member of the Italian parliament is quoted in a Swiss newspaper as saying, "No German, Austrian or Hungarian will ever be permitted to set his foot on Italian soil again, and we even intend to make the exchange of letters with these Huns crime
 Tn the future the world be- longs to the Anglo-Saxon the Italian and the Slavic races undisputa bly,"
 The statement of the Italian law maker is interesting only so far as it shows that the great war has aroused the same passions and brought for ward the same sort of foolish speeches that other wars have brought forward No doubt the speaker believes what he said. Yet many of those who heard him say he will live to see the rela- tions between Italy and Germany friendly to a point almost equal to that existing before the war.

NEARER THE TRUTH.

Elihu Root in Carnegie Hall, New that President Wilson had kept this country out of war, called attention to the fact that every President for seventy years, with the exception of same thing, and said:
 Never since Columbus sighted San Salvador has there been a time when it has been so easy for America to it has been during the great conflict now raging in the Old World.''
 Probably MT. Roots auditors be- lieved that assertion. Probably they passed it by as the opening salute in speech made for purely political purposes. Probably the orator of the evening had not at that point warmed up to his speech in such fashion as to bring out the foolishness of the re- mark. At any rate, when the eye greets that one sentence in the quiet of the study, or even in the busy mart, it takes on all the semblance of some childish utterance. Were it not that MT. Root admits in the same sen- tence that there is a great conflict raging in the Old World" one would be disposed to believe he thinks there is no war going on in Europe.
 How man of Elihu Roots intelli- gence can knowingly make such an assertion especially in view of all that has happened on these shores since the European war started is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary man. If some soap-box or street cor ner orator had said there has never been a time when it was so easy for America to keep out of war; it might be charged that the man was not keep ing abreast of the times, or that he did not know a war was going on in the Old World. Tn the case of Root it is different He has lived through all the conflicting emotions that sWelled high soon after the Lusitania went down and saw the nation standing on the brink of war War has been hang ing over this country for some time; but, thanks to a President who has not answered the call of the jingoists, the sons of American mothers are not today fighting in the trenches or lying dead on European battlefelds. What MT Root should have said is "Never since Columbus sighted San Salvador has there been time when it has been so easy for America to get into war by doing nothing as 1t has been during the great conflict now raging in the Old World.' Then he would have come nearer the truth.

Tn the crowd that greeted Presi-

In the crowd that greeted Pres1- dent Wilson in Omaha yesterday were many little school children. The President smiled at the children, and said:-'Why, I thought school was in' Mo- responded a little girl, "school is out, because somebody has come to town.'
 And somebody had come to town. It was the man who later in the day ad- dressing a solemn meeting said:-"It is very important that statesmen of other nations should understand America. We have held off from the conf1agration in Europe because we wanted to play a different part. We are holding off because when we use the force of this nation we want to know what we are using it for"
 Yes, somebody had come to town. Somebody with an idea.

Going Up in Smoke.
Providence Journal.)

For the week ending September twenty third Tampa turned out of her cigar factories 7,975,879 cigars. The value of this output is not given. but the United States Revenue De- partment collected in revenue s23.- 927.52, which was $3,310.44 more than was collected on the output for the same week last year.
 Tampa's cigars are now said to equal those made in Havana. Ha- vana once claimed the distinction of making a cigar exclusively for the German emperor. While the cheapest grades of tobacco produced in the West Indies went to Germany, the highest priced cigar ever produced went to the emperor. It was said by the manufacturer that the workman who made it received one dollar for the mere making of it, exclusive of any other cost
 Whether the Emperor smokes the same cigar or not we are not told, but if he does it would be curious to know how he gets it.

opportunities, opening up to the busi- ness genius of the country.
 The president was cheered by thou sands during the day. The size of the crowds and the enthusiasm shown far exceeded anything he has experi- enced since his inauguration. At tracted here for the celebration of Nebraska's fiftieth anniversary, thou sands of people from nearby cities and states packed Omaha's streets and shouted frantically every time MT. Wilson appeared. It was an impressive demonstration which greatly pleased the president and his political advis- ers
 Omaha was in gala attire for the day. The celebration, non partisan n in character and arranged by com- mittee made up largely of repub- licans was given a political touch by the presence of the president. All the buildings were draped with American flags, windows were packed with people during the parade, and bands constantly played popular and martial music.
 While MT. Wilson made no distinct fy campaign speeches, he neverthe- lcSS was III Cd1lpdlSi lnOOO. Snl1l- ing, he shook hands with thousands of people, patted babies on the head waved his hat to enthusiastic admir- ers and entered thoroughly into the spirit of Nebraska's semi-centennia1 celebration.
 Half of Nebraska There.
 It seemed today as if half of Me- braska lined the streets of Omaha to greet the president. Not since the inauguration at Washington in 1912 has the presence of the president drawn so great a crowd. Estimates of it's size varied all the way from 150000 to 100000 and it was as easy to admit the latter figure as the former.
 The population of Omaha is about 100000, and there are supposed to be from 50,00O to 100000 visitors in town for the semi-centennial cele- bration. Certainly there were few of these who were not among the close-packed masses that. cheered the president from the sidewalks as his car passed along the streets for miles at the head of the pageant this aft ernoOn.
 Although Roosevelt and Taft have passed through here, Omaha has not entertained a president since 1900, when President Mckinley was here for the Trans Mississippi Exposition, and she set out yesterday to make up for the hiatus. It was a reception such as MT. Wilson never before re- ceived in any of his trips away from the capital.
 All along the path the presidents car travelled there were shouts of Were for you," You'll have my vote,' and "Hurrah for the eight hour law In it's delight over the celebration of the birth of Nebraska, Omaha did not forget for a moment that it was in the midst of Presiden- tial campaign. Senator Hitchcock, who assisted in entertaining the president, told him there was no question that he would carry Ne braska by at least 10000, and other politicians were as optimistic.
