HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Farmers of Newton county are fearing an epidemic of hog cholera. Sickness among the hogs is reported from various sections of the county, and the death rate is increasing. Some pronounce the ailment cholera, while others hold to the belief that the sickness is caused by overfeeding of green corn.—Kentland Enterprise. Mrs; Vesta Foster of Brooksotn, 31 years old, was burned to death at her home there at 5:20 o’clock Thursday evening as the result of an explosion \yhich resulted when she poured kerosene upon live coals in a heating stove. The clothing was burned from her body and her hair and eyebrows disappeared in a flash of flame as the human pillar of fire rushed in maddened agony through the rooms of the modest home on First street in the northeast part of town. She was dead when neighbors reached the scene. A husband and three children survive her. ■ John M. Shanks, who resides on the C. J. McGreevy farm in the north part of Carroll county, made a ghastly discovery Thursday morning about 7:30 o'clock when he went into a corn held at his home to shuck corn. The body of an unknown man decomposed beyond recognition was found by him in the center of the field. All the flesh on the head, face and left hand of the man had rotted off the bones, and a set of upper false teeth had dropped from their position and was lodged in his mouth about to fall out. On account of the man wearing false teeth and from his general appearance, it is believed he was middle aged. A revolver of 3 2 calibre with five shells intact and one exploded gives evidence that the man committed suicide.-. .

Says stone Roads Are Failures.

Editor Homer J. Carr of the Gary Tribune, hit the nail squarely on the head when lie penned the following editorial in reference to the stone roads of Lake county, which have long since been proven can not stand up under the heavy traffic of the automobiles. The Tribune says': "The time has arrived for the board of county commissioners to acknowledge the macadam road is a failure, and take steps to substitute some other kind of pavement suited for automobile traffic. The larger cities have done so. It is useless •waste of money to keep on putting down macadam pavements, which have been proved so utterly inadequate to carry the traffic of the present dayr Dozens of instances are ample proof of this fact. The macadam roads built to the westward of Gary go to pieces with a rapidity that is. startling. "For a while the macadam 10a d On,West Fifth avenue held up well. That was because the traffic upon it was small. The day the through route to Indiana Harbor and Chicago was opened, the road began to fail. By next spring it will ibe nearly impassable, if it lasts that long. The whole experience of Gary with macadam roads can be offered in proo' were it necessary. We. cannot see the use of continuing to build a certain kind of ro2d after it has proved a complete failure as in this case. The best interests of tlhe taxpayers will be conserved by passing up macadam altogether in this region, and giving us something else, which has been proved adapted to the kind of traffic we have.” —Lake County Star.

Monon Officials Attend Apple Show.

President Kurrie entertained several southern Indiana apple growers at luncheon. “We are here to boost the apple, show and to lend our earnest support to the apple industry in Indiana,” said President Kurrie. “It is a matter of some pride with us, too, that of the first five prizes already awarded at the apple show four have gone to growers who have orchards along the Monon. Naturally we take pride in that situation and, of course, will do all we can to have every apple grower on the Monon a prize winner.” In President Kurrie’s party were

PRIZE GUERNSEYS KILLED.

Herd Worth $60,000 Slaughtered Because of Foot and Mouth Disease. Chicago, Xoy. 10.—A $60,000 herd of prize Guernsey cattle belonging to Mrs. Scott Durand, of Lake Forest, and condemned to death because of foot and mouth infection, was slaughtered yesterday afternoon under rather sensational circumstances. Sheriff Griffin, of Lake county, armed with an order from Governor Dunne, locked Mrs. Durand and her servants in the pretentious farmhouse and read the order to her. Mrs. Durand protested that the cattle were protected by an injunction obtained Saturday in a local court, but the sheriff carried out his orders. The hoof and mouth disease struck the farm last summer and it was by means of an injunction at that time that the cattle were saved from death.
