RIOT NEAR BERNE! Bight ot the parties In court. They are Fined $90.20 for Their Fun. On last Thursday Charles Wittwer took unto himself a wife, and. this was not a strange occurrence for Charles, tor this is his third matrimonial launch in life. He lives about two miles ftorth of Berne, and being a busy, active farmer, he fce.s tha* country life without a partner to help him along, would not be worth living, and of course his neighbors called tn the evening to congratulate him and partake of his ‘’Kaser” which was duly provided. All went well until Friday evening when a number of boys of the neighborhood concluded to serenade them. About twentyfive of them got together and proceeded to the residence and not being satisfied with what noise they. could make with horns and the different instruments used on such occasions, they climbed on the rpof of the portico and kitchen, which was tin, and which they soon had in holes and at his request they refused to leave until they had performed the war dance on the roof to their satisfaction and Chark s discomfiture. On Saturday Charley Wittwer came to Decatur and consulted Deputy Prosecuting Attorney France who prepared affidavits against nine of them, charging them with riot. The warrants were placed in the hands of Constable Smith who left here Monday morning early for the scene ot action, and as the 2:10 p. m. train on the G. R. & I. rolled in Constable Smith formed the eight he had in line and with eight witnesses marched them to the office of James H. Smith, Esq., where they were gyranged and pleaded to the affidavit that fhpy were guilty. The court made the fine onp dollar, but the trimings is what made the boys ‘'scratch wheie they didn’t itch,” when they were informed that it would take $11.25.10 liquidate the bill of each one, or $90.20 of a total. When Christ Searly found that it would cost that amount he said that he did not understand it whan he said that he would plead guilty, that he was only in the road on his horse and did not get off of the horst but only stopped to see what was on hand, to which the Squire asked him what he was doing there, when he replied, “That he Was looking on ” When the squire said “Well, that’s enough, you go down wi h pie rest.” And down he went, that is on |he docket of Smith’s lor $11.25. While hp may have been as guilty as any one, when he proclaimed his innocence and told his story in a straight for ward manner that he should have been duly examined by the court whose duty it is to see that a man is puniehed for violating the law, but that one who is innocent is nut made to suffer for acts that fie did not do. The affidavit also charges one Noah Beiberstine with the same offence. Should he be arrested son eof them who known more about court than, they did last week, yvi|l be on hand to see that the case is duly pontpsted. They fepling that they have been hoedwincked into pleading guilty through ignorance ot the law. Later—Since the above was written fifteen more of them have come in and plead guilty upon which a fine of one dollalf each was assessed with trimmings amounting to $6.25 each. Boys not over twelve years of age were with them and suffered the same fate as the older ones. White the law says that any one commit ing a crime shall be punished, there is a point when courts shall exercise their judgment, and when the case will admit of admonition instead of a small fine and costs. As about all of the above parties were ignorant of the law, not even knowing what was meant when asked to plead to the indictment, but by being told that they could get out of it the cheapest that w ay, permitted themselves to be . wronged ppt of their Jiajd-earnd mopey. Alieady ■ bas some of them connsei for the purpose of trying to get out of the payment of the amount assessed against them, having been informed by parties Uiat know.thai they can’t bp m at l e to pay the fu-1 amount taxed up agaipst them, that the ones who are old enough to realize the :act that they have been misinform ed in the matter, are baling is but mild, they have the war paint on and will now fight for their > ights as they b-lieve them to be. While this may be all, yet they say there is more to follow.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23,1891.

The Foot ana Mouth Affection of Gattie. The wide spread prevalence of disease effecting mainly the mouths and toot o .attle (sometime sheep and dter) has ocasioned considerable unwarranted alarm among cattle owners. Dr. Williams, th< Veterinarian of Purdue University Expen ment Station, has had occasion to makt critical examinations of cattle thus affected, both in Illinois and Indiana, and has treat ed them with abundant success, and the following consideration of the disease an< its treatment is offered by himself. Tnis disease has been confounded with the contagious foot and mouth disease of Europe which does not prevail and has not recently existed in America. The form of foot and mouth disease how quit, prevalent in Indiana was first noticed in 1890 in Missouri and Illinois. It i characterized by stiffness and soreness o the limbs, rendering some animals almos unable to walk. The muzzle and lips be comes hard and swollen, ropy saiiva drib bles from the mouth and jaws are moves in a spasmodic, jerky manner. The lining memb anc of the mouth is colored bright red or scarlet; the pad (gums ot the uppe jaw against which tne trout teeth of th< tower jaw press) and the gums along the front teeth slough off’, leaving a raw surface extremely sore, which breeds easily. The nose and lips suffer similady but noi to so great an extent, and the teats are also frequently sore. Post mortem examination shows the stomach and intestines to be inflamed in patches throughout their entire extent. Constipation is usually present, ending frequently in diarrhoea. It has none 01 the characteristic symptoms of the conta gious foot and mouth disease of cattle, and all efforts to transmit it from one animal to another have so far failed. Last year t prevailed for a few weeks only in late summer and autumn, and it is quite provable that it will again cease very shortly It is probably due to some acid or irritant übstance contained in the food. The ir itation of the bowels and slight constipa* cion should be overcome by giving one juart of raw flax seed oil and following vith one pint of it twice daily until the vowels move freely. The mouth should be bathed twice daily with a mild astiin’ent wash, such as the following: oz. Tannic Acid; 1 oz. Powdered Borax; 8 oz Glycerine, mix together with enough water to make one quart. Soft, sloppfood only, should be fed and plenty oi good water giving for drinking. This station publishes its experimental results, for the benefit of farmers, from time to time. A wheat bulletin has recently been issued. Your name and pos. office address will sepuye you these docu ments free. The Director would especially like to get at this time the addresses of ah persons engaged in dairying °ih Indiana. Whatever special branch if farming you are following, please inuicate it in your application. Address, C. S. Prumb, Direcor, LaFayette, Indiana.
