made by George Ashton, their ma

The proceedings began with u con-

Mrs. Prouty Has New Evidence in
Case Against Railroad.

Arguments on motion for a new
trial IN the 100000 suit of Mrs. Hen
rietta Prouty, widow of the late ex-
Governor Prouty, were heard at a
session Of the United States court in
Burlington last week. The argu-
ments were based on the grounds of
newly-discovered evidence which
mostly centers on the discovery of
the fact that the signal system was
not in working order on the day that
Governor Prouty and his chauffeu
were struck by a Grand Trunk train
and the former killed.
NO damages were granted in the
new suit of Mrs. Prouty against the
railroad but at that time according
to the statements of her ATTORNEYS
now, no evidence could be introduced
to show that the signal system was
out of order. The railroad people
proved that it was all right but while
the plaintiffs could show that the
bell rang when it wasn't wanted and
some things along that line there
was no material witness to show
that the system was unstrung.
Since that trial Z. W. Nottingham,
who could not be procured at the first
trial, has been found. He was In

CITY RAISES OVER $500
TOWARD MEMORIAL.
Principal and Students of High
School Do Splendid Work for
Worthy Cause

The citizens of Newport city re-
sponded generously to the Roosevelt
memorial Fund campaign, which was
conducted Thanksgiving week by the
Newport high school students. The
committee on this campaign at their
last meeting thought that the older
members of our high school would be
IN position to take this work in
charge and make it a success, and in
this they thought right, for when the
canvass was completed the students
had received in cash $204.38.
Principal Hubert Pierce took the
responsibility of conducting the can
vass and selected % of his older pu-
pills and assigned them to territory to
cover The high school not being in
session the week of the campaign en-
abled the pupils to do the work.
Those contributing $1,000 to the
fund were: G. S. Emery, the Burgess
family and T. E. Alfred. The fol-
lowing named persons gave $500: t.

SUITABLE SPRAY FOR FLIES
Mixture Suggested by Iowa State
College Will Keep off Pestif-
erous Little Insects.

The Iowa State College experiment
station suggests the following mixture
as being suitable for spraying dairy
cows for flies:
Four and one-half quarts of coal tar
dip, four and one-half quarts of fish
oil, three quarts Of coal oil, three
quarts of whale oil, one and one-half
quarts of oil of tar. Dissolve three
pounds of laundry soap in water, add
the ingredients of the spray, and bring
the whole up to thirty gallons with
lukewarm soft water.
This spray will keep off the flies
and prevent the coats of the animals
from becoming harsh. The cows should
be sprayed twice day-in the morn
ing after milking and In the afternoon
when in the barn for silage or green
feed. With a portable cart, made
from a half-barrel by attaching wheels
and spray pump and nozzle, two men
can spray forty cows in five minutes
