INTEREST TURNS TO TRACK WORK

AT EARLHAM MANY OLD STARS WILL BE MISSED NEXT SEASON.

MERLE GENU, RUDOLPH HILL

Are Expected to Do Great Things For the School Earlham After I. 0. A. L. Championship.

Notwithstanding the fact that the basket ball season is only half over at Earlham, interest in track work is on the increase. All the candidates for the team, assembled in the gymnasium ever Saturday morning and tinder the direction of Coach Collins, took a good workout in starting, high jumping, pole vaulting, hurdling and high jumping. There is much speculation as to the probable strength of this year's team owing to the fact that many of the old stars are out of school. Wann, Itond, Maple and Graves will be missed more than any others. Branson a member of last year's team, who broke the Earlham record on the broad jump, will be taking the required amount of school work and will be eligible to compete. There are many new athletes in school, and it is hoped by all that these will fill the places of the old men on the team. The most promising of the new men is Merle Genn, of this city. Much is expected of him in both the dashes and weight events. Glen llollingsworth of Vermillion

Grove, 111., and Rudolph Hill of this city are looked upon to carry the distance runs. All students wish to win the I. C. A. L. pennant again this year. Last year is the only year in the history of the league that Earlham did not carry off first honors and it is need

less to say taat she will bend every

energy in that direction this year.

LOSS FROM FEVER

MANY CATTLE ARE AFFECTED.

Decline In VaJue Annually Ttals More th.n $30,000,000. Washington, D. C, Feb. 5. A statement issued by the bureau of animal . industry of the Department of Agriculture says that a "publication will soon be issued by the United States Department of Agriculture on the subject of Texas fever, a disease which has been a serious obstacle to the development and prosperity of the cattle industry of this country, especially in the south." It is stated that the infected territory has been carefully studied and a quarantine line established which extends across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Continuing the statement recitees: "It is estimated that there are in the quarantined area 4,500,000 of cattle east of the Mississippi and 11,000,000 west of the river, which, at a reduction of $1.50 per head, will give the enormous shrinkage in value of $23,250,000 directly chargeable to the cattle tick. This should be regarded as an unnecessary reduction in the assets of the infected country. "The above figures do not include the decrease in flesh and the lack of development in the infected animals, nor the expense to the federal, state and local governments for enforcing the quarantine re filiations." The shrinkage in the milk production of cattle harboring many ticks will average one quart per day, and the loss occasioned, at 3 cents per quart, for the 875,000 ticky dairy cattle, out of more than 4,000,000 cattle below the quarantine line would amount to $7,875,000 annually. Approximately 387,500 animals die each year of Texas fever, at an estimated loss of $5,812,500 per annum. With these losses, Texas fever Is responsible for a loss of about $40,000,000 annually to the stockmen of this country. These appalling losses and annual sacrifices of the cattle raisers, it is believed, can be entirely effaced in time by methods outlined by the department, and at a small proportionate cost. The Department of Agriculture has issued the annual regulations for

the prevention of the spread of Tex-I

as fever, effective Feb. 1. On and

after that date cattle are not to be moved from the quarantined area to other parts of the country, except by rail, for immediate slaughter, and under certain conditions prescribed in the regulations. The quarantine area comprises Arkansas, Mississsip-

pi, Louisiana, Alabama, South Caro

lina, Florida, Indian Teritory, all of

Georgia, except a few northern coun

ties, the southern half of California,

the southeastern half of Oklahoma,

the eastern half of Texas, the south

ern half of Tennessee, a few counties

in southeastern Kentucky, the east

ern three-fourths of North Carolina,

and the southeastern part of Vir

ginia.

Southern cattle properly dipped or

otherwise satisfactorily, treated un

der government supervision, and

freed from ticks, may be shipped

without restriction.

Swift Electric Messages. A traveler sent out from the Australian government to see which country had the best telegraph service begs leave to report that England has the world skinned both ways from the ticker. We will never kick on that. While we love to sit where the echo is 'perfect and hear ourselves brag on all tbiugs American, yet we feel like bumbling ourselves or throwing things at the relatives of the stockholders when we recall some of the deliberate and painful details of our telegraph service. Even In so exasperating a thing as this It is well to speak only the truth, so the story that a man can start out on foot and beat the ordinary telegram to Its destination is an exaggeration, but the prudent man does sit down and write a letter after he has sent a message warning the folks that it is coming.

IS

WOMAN'S NOSE WORTH $2,500

JURY DETERMINES PLAINTIFF

IS ENTITLED TO THIS SUM OF DAMAGES.

FEMININE BEAUTY VALUED

Justice Agrees That Looks of Young

Wife Mean Much More to Her Than to That of a Man.

London, Feb. 5. Gentle reader, if

you are of the fair sex, at how many hundred dollars would you value your nose

Women's noses are worth ever so

much more than those of men. This dictum was laid down by Justice Big-

ham in the High court yesterday.

But though they are worth so much j more, the exact value of women 's

noses it is almost impossible to de-

t ermine. This his lordship also said.

The jury in Justice Bigham's court

nevertheless made an earnest endeavor to compensate adequately Mrs. Ri

ta March, a haplss young lady who had her nose ruined it was "squeezed flat," her counsel some

what bluntly put it in the following

manner:

She had gone with her husband, '

Mr. March, to the Burlington hotel .

at Dover. After dinner, having had no fresh air all dav, she took her hus

band and her little dog into the ho

tel Grounds for a walk. The little

dox ran on in safety, but the others

had not followed far when Mrs. March suddenly disappeared from her view. She had been swallowed up. Mr. March shouted to her. There was no answer. Then, as his eyes got used to the darkness he discovered that he was on the brink of a black abyss. "I dared not jump down into it," he told the court. "I Avas afraid of jumping on to Mrs. March." The unfortunate woman was dragged out and put under medical treatment. It was weeks before she could be said to have recovered. But though she got back some semblance of her health, her beauty was practically gone. Mr. Shearman, K. C, her counsel, called the jury's attention to the extent of her loss. Before her fall Mrs. March had been a lovely woman ,and her nose had been not the least of her facial attractions. Now friends passed her in the street without recognizing her. "To man," said Mr. Shearman impressively, "Many careers are open,

but to a woman her beauty is everything." Photographs were produced, and the jury-men were invited to compare the Mrs. March of now and the Mrs. March of then. "She has such a large hat on that it is difficult, to see," said Justice Bigham, intent on the task of valuation. Mrs. March was very plucky during her unpleasant ordeal of being inspected. Counsel's description had done justice to her claim, but was necessari!' a little hard on her present appearance. Her nose had been disfigured and lost its reguarity but she was still an attractive looking woman. In the witness box she said that she had been photographed during a visit at Monte Carlo.

"Those photographers take good photographs, do they not?" asked Mr. Gill, K. C.y for purposes of cross-'examination.

Mr. March, who followed, explained how, although the proprietors of the hotel had been very kind to Mrs. March after the accident, it was necessary to bring an action against them. They had offered a piece of jewelry as a souvenir. "No that is hardly the word," the witness hastily added. "Hardly," repeated Justice Bigham in his driest manner. One of the doctors called a witnesses gave some remarkable evidence about medical devices for restoring damaged noses. Where the skin had shriveled up it was posible to induce permanent plumness by injections of paraffin. But this treatment was not considered suitable in Mrs. March's case, the doctor added. The Judge made a joke at his own expense in his summing up. "If it was my nose that was injured," he said to the jury, "I dare say you would not give me very much." Then he pointed out that a woman's nose is more valuable than a judge's. The jury awarded Mrs. March $2,500 for the part of her beauty which she had lost.
