COUNTY AND NEARBY.

The Fielder Motor Co. new garage
at Platteville is now being occupied.
The building is said to be the largest
and best appointed of it's kind in this
region. 1t was laid out by engineers
for garage purposes.
The Verona general store was bur-
glarized Friday night and merchan-
disc valued at $1,000. The goods con-
sisted chiefly of coats and wearing
apparel of other kinds. Due to the
quantity of goods taken it is believed
a truck was used.
Alvin Thompson, Blanchardville,
had his left arm taken off in corn
shredder while working at the T. N.
Thompson farm near the city. The
shredder became choked and Thomp-
son reached in to clear away the corn.

EXPERTS STTTr BATTLE
CHOLERA. SWINE PLAGUE

DR.. Geo. Gruenewald, animal hus-
bandry expert in this area for the U.
S. Government, says the cholera sit
uation in the eastern part Of the
county is now being held in check al
though the farmers have lost thOus-
ands Of dollars in hogs as the re-
suit of the epidemic.
The plague has been most virulent
in the atteville-Livingston Fenni-
more region and the farms affected
have been placed under rigid quaran-
tine The experts can do no more
than quarantine and advise the farm
er what to do leaving it to his judge
ment whether the advice should be
followed.
Some farmers object to vaccination
although they know the disease is
prevalent in their neighborhood The
cost of immunization is given in many
cases as reason for not vaccinating.
This runs from Use for a small hog
to several times that sum for a large
one, the dose depending upon the size
OF the individual.
The cholera experts isolate all i'll
animals and vaccinate the healthy
keeping them under observation for
81 days. 1t is useless to yaccinate an
animal after its illness has reached
an advanced stage. The time to vac
cinate is before a herd is infected and
not afterward,
Farmers are warned to be careful
about buying up feeder pigs unless
they know whether or not the ami
mails have been immunized. One
farmer near Beloit lost 70 pigs be-
cause he bought one little spotted pig
from a dealer and failed to isolate it.
From this herd cholera spread to
neighboring farms, causing losses of
thousands of dollars.
Dr. Purcell of Madison, state and
government agent, says that hog
cholera was first discovered in Ohio
in 1888.
Had they known then what we
know now, cholera could have been
stamped out by killing the infected
animals, but cholera spread through
the United States costing millions
each year to the producers" declar-
ed DR.. Purcell. ''The farmers here
must get busy and cooperate to check
the disease or the damage here will
be enormous"

Postmaster Mccoy has received or

him to order firearms for the use OF

der states that all employees handling

and apparently this includes men en-
gagged in hauling mail from the Of

does not include rural carriers, as

At Montfort the entire force has

The Lancaster employees whom it

HUGE APE 4

GROVE FOLKS
Children Flee From
Phantom Gorilla
Cow Killed.

A report is in circulation that a
gorilla, escaped from a circus show
ing at Platteville last summer, has
been causing considerable scare
among residents Of Elk Grove and
neighboring yicinities. 1t is said that
farmers have been driving their chill
dren to and from school in fear of the
animal and that COW was killed by
the huge ape Farmers have reported
seeing the animal and hunters have
been looking for him 5ut without sue
cess. II the story is true it is likely
that a Wisconsin winter will make
the gorilla wish he was back in q
tropical land and that he will freeze
to death. 1t is said that monkey
escaped at the same time and has been
seen but never captured. Our cold CHI
mate is likely to make the monkey
wish he was among the cocoanuts

MAYNARD MISS
Tells STORY or
her WRONG
Buffeted Since Child
mood, She Asks us
This Justice?"

Sheriff Dick Holmes and wife went
to Milwaukee Monday as custodians
of Inez Wallace, Is, Platteville Miss,
committed Saturday to the Industrial
Home for Girls The complaint was
made by Mrs May Morris, mother of
the girl, who said Inez was hayward
and beyond her control Inez is a
bright-appearirg girl who had reached
the second year in high school.
Her story as related by the sheriff
is pathetic and not because reporters
like to write about such cases but be-
cause it bears on wrong and villain
Gus conditions, it will be told here.
Inez told the district attorney and
sheriff that when she was eight years
old her father died and home near
GAINESVILLE was found for her by a
Home Finding Society. She was not
there long when the head of the
household and father Of children,
took advantage of her lack Of pro
lection. She was sent to the Indust-
rial school, remaining there for two
years. Coming home she was located
with a family south of Platteville
There she was again wronged. The
last commitment followed
The last man in the case was in
court not long ago, the sheriff says,
getting off with a fine of 5000. He
escapes easily and l am sent away
for six years; is that what you call
justices" The little girl asked the
sheriff and district attorney. The
local palladiums Of law and justice
could not answer. They did ad-
wise that her future was probably
safer in a public Institution than in
some so-called homes"

CITIZENSHIP
KEYNOTE OF
MORGAN PLEA
Armistice Day Speaker
Hopes For Better
Things.

Attorney General Morgan in his Ar
mistice day address here Friday night
spoke BRIEFLY of the higher concep-
ton Of human relations that have
grown out of the World War. He
hoped that the sacrifices made by
the living and dead Americans who
participated actively in the great
conflict had not been in vain. He
said the hope Of the world, the yearn-
ing for peace and simple happiness
lay in the hands of the great con-
ference now on at Washington and
asked divine guidance for those en-
trusted with this responsibility.
Mr. Morgan thought that the Bible,
the history of the United States and
the constitution should be in every
home as guide to better citizenship.
With these ancient and true guides
to character he felt sure the OncOming
generations would understand and
live up to Americanism. Mr. Nor
gan's address was shOrt--lasting no
more than thirty minutes. He said
what there was to be said concisely
and then concluded--a virtue not un-
derstood by many platform speakers.
His remarks were given close atten-
ton and heartily applauded at the
close.
F. C. Meyer, Post Commander, Am
erican Legion. presided at the meet
ing and explained the purpose of Ar
mistice day observance. He sincere
ly hoped the day would become Ma
tional holiday, to be reverently OBJ
served
The band directed by Mr. Nealy
supplied several excellent selec-
tions, including On Wisconsin and at
the close, The Star Spangled Ban

tinued to Nov. 30 The men are now

step. Webb, a barber, is charged
with having liquor in his possession
while intoxicated. Lenstra is a sal
oon man in whose place the author
ities claim they found liquor. It is
said that the Lenstra place changes
hands every time q new raid is made
so that first offense penalty can
be melted out.

OBTTUARY-Mrs. Lucy II. Kilbourn.

Emma Clara Shrader was born Oct
list, 1852, at Lancaster, Wis, and died
Oct I'd, 1921, at the family home in
Berkeley, California. A private flu
neral was held Oct % at the home
with burial in the cemetery at Berk-
eley She was the daughter of L. o.
and Emma G. Shrader. pioneer res
idents of Lancaster. Her father was
for a time the editor of Grant County
Herald. Two sisters still survive
her, Mrs. Francis Burr of this city
and Mrs Katherine Hoskins of Calf
Her early life was spent in Lancaster
where she acquired her education, and
she later taught for number of years
i'll the schools here.
Possessed of an unusually sunny
disposition and most pleasing person
ality, she made many friends and won
a warm place in the hearts of those
who knew her best.
She united with the congregational
church in 1878 and during her life re-
NAMED true to her faith, living as a
conscientious Christian and bringing
sunshine to TIE hearts of those about
her.
Jan I'd, 1878, she was united in mar
riage to Leroy H. KilbOurn, and their
early married life was spent on the
Kilbourn farms in Cassville and Glen
Haven. Five children came to claim
her boundless mother love. They
we're: Elizabeth, Mrs j. e. Vance of
Milford, Nebrs Alice, who died in in
fancy: Benjamin j of GoOding, Ida.
Katherine and Clara of Berkeley,
California. Also very dear to her kind
heart were the grandchildren, twins,
John and Jean Vance.
In 1883 the family moved to Albion,
Nebr., but for several years past had
resided at Berkeley, Calf. The priv
ileges of a college CITY, together with
the natural beauties of the place were
a great pleasure to her, and for time
she greatly enjoyed life but about two
wears ago her health failed. She suf-
Tered a slight stroke, followed by a
second a few months later and on the
4th of September a third stroke came.
From the last she never regained con-
seriousness and on Oct. 20 she passed
peacefully to the Great Beyond, the
land where Death comes not; neither
Sorrow nor Signing.
Weep not for the days that will
come no more,
For the sunbeam flower from hearth
to door.
For missing step, for the nameless
grace
OF a tender voice and loving face /;
But not for the Soul whose goal is
won.
Whose infinite joy is just begun;
Not for the Spirit enrobed in light.
And crowned where the angels are
tonight"
