Doctor Claims Serum
For Cancer Succeeds

OMAHA.-The cancer germ has
been segregated and a serum pre-
pared which has performed complete
cures of cancer, staff physicians at St.
Joseph hospital were told Saturday by
DR.. M. ]. Scott, Butte, Mont, formerly
of Omaha.
The segregation was accomplished
in New York laboratory by a Cana
dian physician working in connection
with DR.. Scott, he said. Official an
nouncement of the discovery will be
made within so days, said DR.. Scott
"Just as certain as we are that the
typhoid germ is the germ that causes
typhoid, just as certain as we are that
the diphtheria germ cause diphtheria,
just so certain are we that the germ
we have isolated causes cancer" DR..
Scott told the physicians.
DR.. Scott told of inoculating animals
free from cancers and watching the
cancers develop, removing these can
GERS, again isolating the germ and
growing cultures again.
eve have been able to isolate this
same bug in every case of cancer that
has come under our observation said

ROAD MEASURE
PASSES IN ALL
3 TOWNSHIPS
Vote Yesterday Showed
Farmers Favor Good
Highways.

That the farmers of southern Grant
county are in favor of a hard road
project connecting up Lancaster, Po-
tOsi and Dubuque was shown by their
action at the town meetings yester-
day.
All three towns, So Lancaster, Po-
tosi and Paris, favored the project by
a decisive vote The town board of So.
Lancaster included the recommends
ton to appropriate $1,000 for the hard
road in their budget. This was passed
without dissent. A project to relocate
Pigeon Hill and lower the grade to 8
percent was tabled until next year on
account of hard times. Potosi passed
the $1,000 appropriation as a part of
the budget but one vote dissenting.
Some anxiety was felt about the town
of Paris but it was needless. The vot-
ers there passed a $1,000 appropria-
tion for the project.
This makes it possible to eXpend
$4,000 on the project. $1,000 will be
spent in the neighborhood of Dickey-
vile and $4,000 on the Potosi-Lan-
caster road. Work will be carried on
the coming summer and probably
completed.

WIDOWLOST HOME
NOW FIRE DEMON
TAKESBELONGLNG.S

Mrs. Ashley Walker, a widow with
five children, residing in the Geo. Fin
ney house in Elmdale, was burned out
about 8 o'clock Saturday evening when
a chimney fire caused the destruction
of the humble two-story cottage.
The blaze spread with such rapidity
that nothing could be done to stop it.
A stove and few other articles were
saved Neighbors came and assisted
as best they could.
Mrs. Walker recently had the bad
luck to lose her home and had moved
into the Finney house until conditions
improved. The fire took all she had
including nine sacks of -four and a
quantity of meat and canned goods.
She has now located in the Hartman
house nearby. A collection is being
taken in behalf of the Walker family.

BECK WINNER

MAYORALTY
Heavy Vote Polled in
Lancaster Election.--
Other Results.

Winners-BecI1, mayor; Calls, treasurer;
Garner, assessor; Croft, alderman LIST ward.
With over 400 votes polled here
yesterday in the spring election Lam
caster had the heaviest balloting in
it's history. This was partly due to
the heavy woman vote and still more
due to the intense interest displayed
in the mayOralty contest.
Partisans were at work all day
bringing in the vote. Aged, infrm,
sick and uninterested were sought out
and either brought to the polls or
urged to come.
The polls were crowded all day and
considering the number of ballots
handled the polling went forward
smoothly. Following is a table show
ing the Lancaster vote by ward where

less. In any case he pays from five to
ten times as much as the average
householder in town. No wonder he
hollers. No wonder he's sore. Who
wouldn't be?
The system is wrong. Some method
should be devised toward Tightening
the burden on the farmer. He can't
stand it. If forced to accept present
unbearable conditions he is stumb-
ling block in the way of school prog
ress. His walls resound to high heav-
en-.
We need the good will aud cooper
alton of the farmers IN our schooA
district. If we can't obtain this by
some Just and reasonable method Oh
taxation we had better release them
from the district and go on our own.
At present they block our school
progress because the burden is more
than they can bear.

Bird Protection
A Noble Work.

An old friend who reads the Herald
thoroughly asks us in pleading for
fish conservation to say something
about birds. Birds, he says, are a
thousand times more important to a
farmer than all the fish in the world.
The Herald agrees. Wild life of all
kinds is important. Bird life is par
ticularly important. AS one of Dame
Natures checks on the ravages of in
sects and vermin the work of the bird
cannot be overestimated. Even the
lowly and much condemned blackbird
will follow a pillow in sWarms and eat
the turned UP grubs.
Examination of the craw of bird
has shown numerous weed seeds, in
sects, etc. Rarely do birds bother the
growing plants, grains and fruits.
Their ravages there are easily pre-
vented And what little they do take
is generally given freely. Some men
watch robins strip a cherry tree and
laugh hugely. They like birds and
they like to see their feathered
friends eat their fill.
Much of the protection of birds lies
in the farmers hands. He can dispose
of predatory cats. He can kill off the
bird outlaw-the English sparrow.
He can prevent brutal boys from kill
ling birds and robbing their nests on
his farm. He can provide shelter for
the birds by leaving little woodland.
Town people can help too. They
can protect bird life on their prem
Uses. They can encourage officers to
do their duty and protect birds and
they can report for prosecution any
one killing birds.
One thing is sure: Unless the vic
ious slaughter of bird life is checked
birds of all kinds will disappear. De-
struction of bird life will result in in
sect evils such as no farmer has ever
dreamed Of We are not pleading
now, boys, we are telling you. Over
look bird protection at your peril

STORM PLA VS. HOB
WITH PHONE AND
ELECTRIC SYSTEMS

The sleet and wind storm that began
Friday evening and lasted with dimtn-
ishing effect until late Saturday night,
was general from the Rockies to the
Alleghanies and the Great Lakes to
the lower Mississippi valley. Several
lives were lost, much property dam
age resulted and stock suffered con-
siderably. Locally the storm tore
and split huge trees and wreaked hay
oc on telephone and electric service.
Light and power were off from Friday
until Saturday night and power was
not restored to electric lines until
Sunday afternoon. The Farmers Tel
ephone Co. suffered heavily from up
rooted and broken poles and wires.
1t will be some time before service is
fully restored on the Farmers lines.
Secretary Petersen of the Farmers
Company, placed the total loss on the
company's lines at not exceeding ST.
500. He said Monday that 140 poles
valued at SIS each would have to be
replaced The cost of replacement
and all is about 81 pole. The dam
age to the wire plant is negligible.
Ten linemen are out on trouble and
repairs will be effected as rapidly as
possible. The lines will be got work
ing temporarily and the broken poles
will be reset when weather permits.
The Bell company reports so poles
down in Grant county Most of these
are north of Lancaster where toll
lines are ripped to pieces. Fennimore
and Boscobel remain isolated from
the world. The Bell lines suffered
heavily throughout the state and calls
are made by laborious rerouting-

Query and
Answer
1.-THE Cemetery Trust Fund.-

Question-What does the Cemetery
Trust Fund consist of and what has
become of it?
Answer-The Cemetery Trust Fund
is an accumulation of money placed
with the city of Lancaster to provide
perpetual care for burial lots in Hill
side cemetery. The fund first appears
on the city books as of Jan. q, 1909,
by Margaret Welsh $25. This fund
has since accumulated until it now
totals $5.938.60 Upon this fund the
city of Lancaster pays the Hillside
Cemetery association 4 percent inter
est each May /. Last May the interest
total was $213.91. 1t gets larger each
year as the fund grows. The cemetery
trust fund is and has been a part of
the city general fund and is not set
aside except as book record to keep
track of it. The reason for not re-
investing it is that it would be impos-
sible to find borrowers for random
sums ranging from $3.50 to $50.
Impugning Our Column.
Question-Who writes the questions
in the Herald? l believe you write
them yourself and make up your own
answers.
Answer-A bully good suggestion.
Thanks When we run out of ques
tons We'll follow your little idea out.
Now ask us another one.
Origin of BuckWheat Ridge.
Question-Kindly give me the origin
of Buckwheat Ridge, how and why it
was named and some of the customs
of the pioneers of that day on the old
ridge?
Answer-Will some one kindly sup
ply the answer to this question. We
have no data on Buckwheat Ridge.
We understand, however, that the
ridge got it's name through the large
quantity of buckwheat raised there.
They say it's a great place for flap
jacks on a frosty morning.
Should Lancaster Pave.
Question-Why can't Lancaster have
paved streets the same as other towns
have? What kind of a street depart
ment have we, anyhow?
Answer-We can. Considering what
they have to contend with our street
department does very well. If the
public wants paving a scheme has
been proposed whereby the city pays
a third and the property owners on
each side third. This will make the
total cost per lot not unreasonable.
The Herald favors a paving project to
cover the main streets of the city.
Once in the people wouldn't part with
well-paved streets.

LANCASTER MAN
DELLRIOUS FROM
HLNESS, WANDERS

Christian Vesperman of the third
ward has been i'll the past week with
a form of paralysis. The attack made
him delirious and he is the subject of
constant care. Last Thursday night
Mr.. Vesperman eluded the observa-
ton of his son, Walter, who was car

dow to the outdoors, dressed in
nothing more than night clothing.
Walter discovered his father was
missing and phoned a son-in-law, Jno.

Success.

success
What is success? 1t is achievement.
How do we measure it? By the
benefits that it confers. Wealth is not
necessarily the measure of it, for a
man may be successful and never rich,
or he may be rich and fail of success.
True success is measured not by dol
lars but by service-and health, char
acter, education and industry are the
foundation stones upon which it rises.

yesterday to visit her son, Frank, and

How We Elect a
Mayor in Lancaster.

One inevitably draws conclusions
on how to elect a man for mayor in
Lancaster.
First. we keep away from or over
look all mention of platforms or pol
icies. These things become necessary,
to be sure, when the candidate is III
office. They have nothing to do with
the election as the people might know
how to vote.
Then select a man of the highest
standing possible so he can be humll-
lated as much as possible. The high
er he is the more he can be dragged
down. Pick a good one and slam him.
Be sure and drag in old religious
issues. They have nothing to do with
it but they sway the unthinking and
preiudiced and make good campaign
material. 1t all blows over anyhow
couple of months later.
Don't say anything about our muddy
streets or how to improve them. use
the mud as campaign supplies.
Be sure and call one of the cand1-
dates a drunkard. Drunkards are
rare nowadays and the man may oe
dry in reality but that makes no dill
ference. Some people can be sWayeo
bv this and it serves the prime pur-
nose anyhow-hurts the candidate S
feelings.
And be sure to question his moral
character. Nothing hurts respec-
table man more than to have his vlr-
tue assailed. Don't neglect this fea-
ture as it will make him wr1the
proper. That's the big idea.
Both sides should spread as many
lies as possible about their own men,
pretending that the other side orlgl-
mated them. This is one of the slick
est schemes ever worked out and
never fails to make hard feelings and
counter-charges.
Be sure to tear the town wide open.
Make everybody hate everybody else
Create suspicion wherever posslole.
Open all the old sores and put salt IN
them. Array brother against brother
and husband against wife. Keep US
ALI in turmoil until after electlon
ANYHOW. Harmony and good feeling
in a little town is all ID foolishness.
With the prime purpose of one tac-
ton trying to lick the other factlon
and show it up instead of good gov
eminent. we pass by election day with
a new mayor and the city goes Tor
ward happily.

ReScind Farm School Taxes In

If there is a way to do 1t scnooi
taxes on farm property in city dis
