UNKNOWN NEGRO
ASSAULTS MISS
BESSIE KR0UPA
Drags Woman Into Weeds and
Binds Her to Tree; Physi.
clans Say Her Condi-
ton Is Serious.

Bound hand and foot by an TN
identified negro, Miss Bessie Krou.
pa, 10 years old, was tied to a tree
near Tenth and B streets yesterday
afternoon and assaulted.
The terrified girl was not found
for nearly an hour after the assault.
Last night she was hysterical. Ply
sicians said her condition was seri-
Gus. They confirmed the report
that she had been abused.
The negro grabbed the girl as
she was walking to the car line from
her home, ais South Ninth street
shortly before 2 o'clock.
Holding his hand over her mouth
to stifle her screams he dragged
her to a vacant lot, high with weeds,
and tied her.
She was taken to the home OF
Police Sergeant Philip Wentz, o16
Dominion street, and sobbed out her
story.
HE leaped at me from the
weeds" she said, land told me he'd
kill me il I screamed.
Then he tied my hands and feet
and bound me to "a tree. When l
told him / was III he left and told
me to call for help so somebody
could unite me-" !
Two detectives made an unsuc-
cessful search of railroad yards in
the district, but failed to find the
alleged attacker.
Residents of the neighborhood
said similar attack was made on
young girl about a week ago by
. negro answering the description
given by the Kroupa girl Of her as
sailant. She described him as short,
stout, with pockmarked face and
a mustache.

LONDON STRONGLY
OPPOSES TRYING
EX-KAISER THERE
Even Against Placing Him
in Prisoners Docket
at All.

London. July 7.-Strong opposi-
ton continues to develop in the
British press against the project of
trying the former German emperor
in London, or trying him at all.
Paris dispatches saying that Amer
lea and Japan are opposed to the
trial and that Italy is lukewarm
apparently have had an effect on
sentiment here. ~
Liberal newspapers, such as the
Manchester Guardian the Westn1in-
ster Gazette and the Daily News
are leading the way, with part of
the conservative press taking the
same view, that it would tend to
make the kaiser martyr among
the Germans, prolong the passions
of war and upset the life of Lon
don. 1t is also said that the former
emperor's arrival here might cause
unpleasant incidents.
The Evening Standard, conserva-
tive, opposes the plan because
there are practical difficulties in
arranging the quarters for the pris-
oners and the place of trial, and
there is an unpleasant suggestion
of pagan triumph in the project. If
there must be state trial it should
not take place in London or any
other business center. ~.
. The Westminster Gazette is one
of those holding that the best pun
ishment for the ex-emperor is to
leave him in obscurity, and the
Times gives prominence to a letter
from Sir Valentine Chirol. its for
eign editor, expressing fear that
the trial might create a Hohenzoi-

Austria Gives Up Idea
of Union With Germany

Paris, July 1.-THE Austrian gov
eminent has given up, at least for
tine time being, the idea OF "a union
with Germany, DR.. Otto Bauer, the
secretary for foreign affairs, de-
clared in an address delivered last
week at the congress held by the
councils of workers, according to
the Vienna correspondent of the

Austria, small and ruined" the
foreign secretary is quoted as de-
claring, could only exist by the
permission and assistance of the en-
tente and that is why it was ADAM
doning the idea of uniting with Ger
many at this time, as Austria was
not powerful enough to bring about
union without the consent of the

CHOLERA AND SWINE
PLAGUE CONFUSED

Much confusion appears to prevail
in the minds of Ohio hog owners and
others relative to outbreaks of So
called Hemorhagic Septicemia in
swine. The disease is not new says
DR.. L. B. Beechy, extension veter-
marian of the Ohio State University.
1t was recognized and very accurately
described by Moore and SmitM in 1889.
Swine plague is rarely found as an
independent disease but is commonly
found associated with cholera or other
infectious diseases. 1t is caused by
a micro o-organism known as Bacillus
Suisepticus. The germ is commonly
found in filthy hog houses and pens
where hogs have been kepA for long
time. 1t does not always cause dis
ease but when animals are subjected
to other ailments or conditions which
have a tendency to lower their resis-
tance the germs Of swine plague Of
ten cause considerable damage.
The disease is not easily distin-
guished from cholera. In fact, in
many cases. it is next to impossible
to make a distinction on naked eye
examination. Swine plague does not
run through a herd as rapidly nor de-
stroy as large a percentage of the
hogs as cholera. 1t is more uniformly
a lung disease than cholera, and oc-
ours much less frequently. Ninety
per cent of the, outbreaks of infec-
tious diseases in swine in Ohio are
cholera, which can be prevented by
the timely application of the serum

TUBERCULOSIS CAUSING
BIG LOSS in POULTRY

tuberculosis and internal worms
bring about greater losses to the poul-
try industry Of Ohio than any other
causes, according to H. D. Munroe,
extension poultry specialist Of the
Ohio State University. Unsanitary
conditions are largely responsible.
These may be improved by rotation
in the chicken runs. Soil about perm
anent houses may be plowed and cul-
tivated crops raised. Portable colony
houses may be used for growing
chickens.
The legs Of chickens suffering from
worms become paralized. Although
the fowls eat heartily they become
emaciated. No cure is known for
worms; prevention is the only remedy.
Birds suffering with tuberculosis be-
come emaciated and are often lame in
their left legs. The most reliable evi-
dence of tuberculosis may be obtained
from a post.mortem examination.
White spots varying in size from a
pinhcad to I. pea may be found
throughout the liver and spleen. White
Jumps or tubercles varying in size
from a pea to that of hens egg
may be found on the intestines and
body walls. The lungs are rarely
found to be infected. The spleen is
frequently the first part affected.

REV. AND MRS. BACHTELL

Very Warm Days But Cool Nights
Developing Cotton and Sugar

Rev. and Mrs. Ray Bachtell, who
are visiting at the home Of his father,
S. w. Bachtell, on the Branch road,
are returned missionaries from Siam.
They have served eight yeasr in that
mission tield-a Presbyterian mission
and are on a vacation in the U. S.
1t is customary to grant one year
recreation in seven, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Bachtell stuck to their post for eight
years.
Mr. .Bachtell is a graduate of Me-
dina High, Of Occidental College at
Los Angeles, and of San Francisco
theological seminary. A portion of
his vacation will be spent by him in
study and research so that when he
goes back to the work he may be
better fitted than when he came home.
Rev. and Mrs. Bachtell are in the
Presbyterian mission at Chjeng Raj,
Siam, with seven others. There are
40 missionaries in Siam. The work
is teaching, preaching, hygienic anc
medicinal. Rev. Bachtell does evange-
listic touring work, similar to circuit
riding of older days in our own coun
try. He serves churches, rides thu
, circuit on horseback-rather pom!

country is largely horseback, there be

SPRAY NOW FOR
PEACH LEAF-CURL

Last spring peach leaf-curl was
prevalent in many Ohio orchards and
did a great deal of damage. Some
men who had sprayed their trees
were badly disappointed to find con-
siderable curl in their orchards. The
reason for this was that the trees
were sprayed too late, according to
w. G. Slower, plant pathologist OF the
Ohio State University. "In order to
be effective against curl the spray
must be applied while the buds are
absolutely dormant" according to
Prof. Slower. ."When the buds begin
the swell, the bud scales are slightly
separated and the parasite which
causes the curl can grow into the
tender bud tissues.
"The orchardist is often prevented
by his other spring work and by the
weather conditions from spraying his
peaches at the proper time in the
spring. This danger can be avoided
by fall spraying which has been found
to be as effective in controlling both
leaf-curl and scale as the spring ap-
plications. The weather may also be
more favorable and the other farm
work is out of the way. Fall spraying
may be started at any time after the
leaves have fallen. Lime sulfur IL
is used when it is necessary to spray
for scale. If curl alone is to be
fought, the strength used may be
lis. Only one application Of the
dormant spray is necessary whether
made in the spring or fall, although
the regular summer sprays should
be applied as usual. The spraying
should be carefully done so that all
the buds are thoroughly coated with
the lime-sulfur,"

high. There is very good financial
system though banks do not play any
part in it.
"The people areosort of shiftless as
in all hot countries. The heat is de-
bilitating and men and women cannot
work as hard or persistent as in this
country. The level Of the people is
being gradually bettered, and the
missions-and the Presbyterians are
the only ones in Siam-are doing a
great work for these people.
"The medical side Of the mission is
now self sustaining and the day may
not be far distant when our, stronger
missions will be likewise"
Rev. and Mrs. Bachtell are greatly
interested in the mission work and
are anxious to get the needed rest
and return to their labors in Siam.
While the work is hard and the pri-
vations many once having begun few
whose hearts are in the work feel as
if they want to retire so long as they
can endure the labors.
Mr.. Bachtell says there is no caste
in Siam, as is found in many Oriental
countries. This makes for much
lighter task in interesting these peo-
pie, aids greatly in the task Of conver-
sion, and in many ways adds to the
interest of natives and missionaries.
Rev. Bachtell shows evidence of the
severity of the climate in Siam. While
greatly improved by the sea voyage
home he and Mrs. Bachtell are not
nearly so robust as when they went
abroad. Both hope to greatly improve
in health and strength before the
time comes to return

virus treatment.
Various kinds of bacterins for the
prevention of swine plague are on
the market. The U. S. Bureau OF
Animal Industry is conducting inves-.
LEGATIONS to determine the value OF
such products.
Experience has demonstrated that
in many instances swine plague has
been checked by changing the hogs
to fresh quarters. Frequent changes
in locations of hog lots coupled with
disinfection of stables will go far
toward preventing this disease.
In some sections, the fashionable
name of "Flu" has been applied to
outbreaks of swine plague.

FOUR POINTS STRESSED
IN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Despite the high cost of materials
and labor, many tile drainage sys-
TENS are being installed this fall in
many different sections of Ohio. In
q number of instances assistance is be-
ing given in the planning of these by
the Department Of Agriculture Engi-
neering of the Ohio State University.
In. the plans the following four
points are being stressed:
1. Have tile mains as short as pos
sible. 2. Use long laterals but not
exceeding 100 rods for 4-inch tile. 8.
Use as few outlets to an open ditch as
possible and protect those well with
a concrete retaining wall. A. Use a
uniform grade.

We are certainly pleased with the
results Of the vote on the issuing Of
bonds for the building of a modern
school at Brunswick. The people OF
the township are facing in the right
direction and have reason to be proud
of their new undertaking.
Ladies' Day at the Brunswick
school was attended by about sixty
five women. The display of the Do
mestic Science department and the
program rendered were both especially
good.
York school has organized Par
ents Teachers Association the pur-
pose Of which is to further the inter-
ests OF both school and community.
The young people of any community
are always the center of interest. 1t
must be so. Every community should
at all time she deeply interested in and
actively engaged in the welfare of the
young life. The legitimate and
natural interests of young life are
starved for the want of places for
meeting and persons to lead. Re-
preston cannot solve this vital
problem.
Rural people are inclined to look
with disfavor upon athletics and
sports thinking that doing the chores
offers sufficient activity. However, the
fact remains that boys and girls as
we'll like to play. Nothing today is
doing more to make the boy dissatis-
fed with farm life as the parents at
titude toward play and amusements.
Play is natural, instructive. 1t needs
guidance, but not denial and sup
preston. How many of our schools
lack absolutely any proper place fol
play during the inclement weather
How many lack even the simplest out
door apparatus for play? How can VIZ
continue to neglect so important
matter?
We feel the necessity Of asking tha
some superintendents, principals an
teachers be more punctual in sendin
in their monthly reports. If these wer
all on hand at this time, it woul
make good report for publicatio
but no one cares TO read stale news.

as much absence is due to this cause
as to others.

BUILD A HOSPITAL.

Dickinson county people are think
ing OF erecting tuberculosis hospi7
tai as memorial to the boys who died
in the great war. The idea is one
that might be worked out for Iron
county, also. In its mention OF the
proposition the Press says:
ut has been suggested-by Dr.
Joseph A. Crowell, we believe,-that
the money remaining in the treasury
of the War Relief association me do
mated to the county as a nest-egg FOL
the erection OF tuberculosis sanitar
fum. II Is anticipated that, after al
the liabilities OF the association have
been met, there will remain In thu
treasury about $4,000. To this sun
the board OF supervisors would be ex
pected 10 add the balance necessar
to meet the erection cost and main
tain the institution.
Dickinson county needs the san
tarium, and the members OF the We
fare association would, no doub
