HOG CHOLERA vg! < hcm'uiiil’•••;«! by the Purdic Veterinarian. Beginning with the month of July, severe outbreaks of‘’hog cholera have been reported from differei sections of the state, and a num jer of requests have been reoei v>’d f>r a method of treating the disease. It is in response to the demand or information on the subject Hi i this bulletin has been pre pater. A medical treatment is unsatisfac Ty and a successful, practical v > io or antitoxin has not been found, the only treatment that cui Oh oicimmended is preventive, and consists in using all possible preoautims against carrying the germs into the hog lots, and supplying clean, healthful surroundings and clean feed. The main precautions against carrying germs into yards are as folio ws: 1. (Jogs from other herds, or stock shows should not be allowed to mix with the herd until they have been proven free from dis ease. 2 All possible ways in which the germs can be carried into the yard by people, dogs, birds, etc., should be guarded against, especial 1 . <r ' lien the disease is present in the neighborhood. Dipping or washing the hogs with a two per cent solution of a tar disinfectant should be practiced and the animals placed in quarantine fjr at least three weeks in yards that do not communicate in any way with the regular yards. 4. Vben it is necessary for persons to enter pens where the disease is known to exist, they should clean and disinfect their shoes on leaving. 5. Parsons taking care of sick hogs should use all possible precautions against the spread of the disease in their neighborhood. The importance of clean feed, water, troughs and feeding floors must be emphasized, as it is in the feed that the germs usually enter the body. In no other plaoe on the farm are whitewash and disinfectants so necessary as in the hog houses'and pens. Pastures and lots can be kept in a more healthful condition if the hogs are taken out for a few months each year, and a forage crop sowed in the unused lots Clean yards prevent exposure to a large number of active germs at any one time, in this way being an important help in preventing disease. Pern and p istures receiving the drainage from neighboring swine enclosures should not be used Some of the necessary measures in the treatment of a sick herd are as follows: 1. Disinfect the feeding floors, troughs, hog houses and their immediate surroundings diily with a water solution of a tar disinfectant (two to four per cent.) If this cannot be done, remove the hogs and build tempoarry quarters 2 Feel •v I’ght, sloppy diet of short l , bia.u, .t •. 3. Do i< tI J kVe water and slop in the troughs for tho hogs to wallow in 4. Copper sulfate can be dissolv ed in the 'drinking water and slop in the proportion of four ounces to the barrel. 5. Tho dead hogs should be

b urned, or buried and their bodies covered with lime. If these precautions against the sneard and perpetuation of hog ; cholera were observed, it is believ- | ed that this disease would not exist as an epidemic from year to year, j R. A. Craig, Veterinarian. S. S. CONVENTION Calvary Church Will Hold One Next Sunday. A Sunday school township con J vention will bo held next Sunday at Calvary church, five miles east of here in St. Marys township. The event should be the banner one in the history of the church, and arrangements are being made to that effect. Special programs have baen prepared and services will be held in the morning at ten o’clock and in the evening at 7:30. Parties coming from a distance will be entertained all day. Arrangements to that effect having also been made. CATTLE SALE A. G. Briggs and W. B. Hale Will Sel| Some Short Homs. A. G. Briggs and W B Hale of Geneva, have catalogues out and advertised a public sale of Shorthorn cattle, the same to take place on the former’s farm one and a half miles east of Geneva, on Thursday, November 2. Twentyfive pedigreed full blooded ]£male and female Shorthorn cattle will then and there be sold to the] highest bidder. The sale is already attracting the attention of breeders and the same promises to be largely attended, and the bidding lively. Col. Fred Reppert of this city, will auctioneer the sale. Ten years ago the American National bank at Lima, Ohio, was robbed of 118,233.73 by some one who manipulated the ’time lack on the safe. The affair was the smoothest on record and for ten years the best detectives in the country worked on the case without success. Suit was filed against vice president Michael and Cashier Gus Kalb and the amount recovered, through a criminal suit against them failed. Now a woman s‘comed by her divorced husband, Thomas K. Wilkens, one of the thieves, and forced to bitterest poverty,'has assisted the officers in establishing a clear case against her husband, and his accomplice Elijah Bonsher and the stroy is almost a fairy tale. Prosecutor Klinger first secured a confession from the woman and then managed to have her arrange a meeting of the two criminals at her home, where she demanded money to keep her secret, while the officers were hidden in a garret overhead. The two men talked the whole matter over, told of the hidden money and gave evidence that will certainly place them be hind prison bars for many years to come. The bank officials who were ■ charged with the crime are now happy and Cashier Kalb seems many years younger than a week ago. Wilkens and Bonsher are under arrest.

We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the friends, neighbors and all who so kindly remembered us with their assistance, fldwers, and sympathy during tho death and burial of our beloved son and brother, Harvey Opliger. Samuel Opliger and family. Helton Lengerich, Genevieve Coffee, Nellie Geels, Maggie Farout, and Matilda Eiting, five bright and popular young ladies from this city and township, left this morning in company with Father Wilken for Fondolao, Wisconsin, where they will enter the St. Agnes convent and study to be sisters. The young ladies will remain at this place during the remainder of their lives, and will only be allowed to return home at certain intervals to visit with relatives. The duties and sacrifice they make is a hard one, but all seemed willing and anxious to go, and will devote the remainder of their lives to their good work. Receiver Frank Ehle this afternoon sold the Grand opera house to the Union National Lean and Savings association, of Indianapolis, the only bidder, for <lii,ooo, taxes and street assessments, a total of <16.006.90, for property representing a cost of <30,000. Frank Rayman, manager of Kate Emmet in “Waifs of New York,’’ was here today figuring on the property, but did not bid. Since the bid received does not quite Cover the loan association claim and taxes other creditors will receive nothing. Receiver Ehle gave a deed this aftev noon to loan association and was approved by Judge Vaughn. Some thought Charles DeLaoour would appear with a bidder, but he failed to show up. — Bluffton News.

An automobile occupied by a party of four from Van Wert collided with a street car at the corner of Washington and Clinton streets. Fort Wayne, Sunday noon, ana the autoists were all injured, two seriously. Mrs. L. A. Ellis was injured internallly, probably fatally; Mrs. Will France had her nose broken, right shoulder dislocated and hand cut, condition serious; Dr. Ellis and Mr. France were also badly bruised. The accident was due to the slippery pavement, a rain having fallen during the morning. Dr. Ellis was driving and at his machine turned the corner the rear wheels flew around carrying the automobile on to the track. The street oar was going rapidly and hurled the auto one hundred feet. Mrs. Ellis fell under the machine. George Trioker is at home from Jackson, Ohio, where he closed a deal for a large interest in the famous Jackson Hill coal mine located .three miles from that city. The deal included a trade of 160 acre tract cf land in Florida, which Mr Trioker has owned for several years. Mr. Tricker has had this deal in view for several months, and is highly pleased with having succeeded in closing it. The Jack son Hill coal field is one of thg best known in the country, and though not so large as others, produces the finest grade of soft coal known to the market. Mr. Trioker has formed a partnership with John Merrioa, and they will open a big coal yard in this city, acting as sole agents for their famous fuel for this locality, and will do a whole sale and retail business. They have not definitely decided upon the location, but will decide in a day or two, having several propositions to consider.

The directors of the Craigville Telephone company are hard at work at this time stringing the poles for their new line to Vera Cruz and getting things for active work. They expect to have the line completed and in operation before winter sets in. This company was organized early in the season, articles of incorporation were taken out with the state officials and they propose to have a company that will be up to date in every particular. As evidence of their intention to have things right, it is only necessary to state that the finest quality of cedar poles are used for stringing the wires. Most of the co-operative telephone companies so far organized in the county, have resorted to the use of native timber poles and some of the work is not standing up well on this account. The Craigville people will have the finest system of phones that can be purchased, and they expect to meet with a gratifying patronage. —Bluffton Banner.

' PERSIAN DISHONESTY. ft Permeate* Every Class of Society From Highest to Lowest. Veracity is a scarce article in Persia, according to the Kev. Napier Malcolm. In his ••Five Years In the Persian Town’’ be writes of conditions in Xezd as follows: "In the Yezd bazaars prob- , ably not less than one-third of the I speeches made by Mussulmans are falsehoods. One day a cook of a European went to the bazaar and after the usual haggling lived the price of some meat at 12 krans for thirteen pounds. •But,' said the cook, ‘you’ve got your thumb on the scales.’ ‘Did you think, retorted the butcher, 'that I would give you meat at thirteen pounds fur 12 krans unless I kept my thumb on the scales?’ We had a neighbor who was considered a fairly respectable man whose sole business was the forging of seals. “But the fact is that every class, from the highest to the lowest. Is thoroughly permeated by the leaven of dishonesty. A Mohammedan assured me that truth speaking and honesty had nothing to do with religion, but were purely a matter of climate. ‘ln that case,’ said I. ’the people of Persia ought to speak the truth very well, for one of the Greek historians who lived before the Mohammedan era declared that the Persians were famous for speaking the truth.’ ‘But who does not know,’ replied the Mohammedan, that the climate of a country changM entirely every 2,000 years?’ " New Cure For Cancer.
