DISEASE AMONG CAHLEJEREADING 'the disease among cattie seems to be spreading and farmers should be careful about shipping in breeding cattle from other states, VV e have only a few coses in Indiana but in in the states 'of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky there are thousand? of cattle dying. It has been a custom with farmers at about this season of the year to send to other states and purchase heifers for breeding purposes, but suppose we discontinue 1 his practice for one yrar, or, until this dreaded disease has been stamped out. State inspectors say the disease is as dangerous as smallpox with people and equally as eontageous. Not only is it contageous but infeotous and if one animal in a head is infected all must go the same road, and 80 per cent, never recover. So eontageous is tbe malady that one cow cressing the path of that has been sp afflicted will contract the disease, Cattle - when stricken will first refuse to eat, as their mouth is very sore, and later they begin limping, and on evamination, the top of the hoof is. found punctured with yellow water oozing out below the iop of the most tender part of the foot. The length of the disease is five week. The best remedy so far given is to keep the animrl warm and give them as much oil meal as they will eat. The meal will furnish the heat desired tor cattle so afflicted staudand shiver. As "s on as it is discovered that 2 cow refuses to eat and begins limping’, step milking at once, for the fluid is not only unhealthy but the cow u eds ail her surplus. Aid Quake Sufferers. .

Eight years ago last night, Jan. 6, Syracuse was visited with sthe greatest fire in the history of/the town. The conflagration began about seven p. m. and wiped out tbe entire business block now occupied by A. W. Strieby, Wm, Beckmann, Brady’h News Stand, The Fair and the Hojtel Holton. Since that time great, changes have taken place in Syracuse. The burnec|. block which was partly frame has been replaced by a solid brick block and which is tbe equal of any similar building in any town the siz.e of Syracuse. Shortly after the fire tbe question ofc a waterworks system was taken up, the fire having served tbe purpose of a great educator, the question was speeddy settled and today Syracuse has a waterworks and sewerage system/of which we may well be*proud. c . With this improvement came others of far-reach-ing and vital influence to tbe town. An electric lighting system ha? been installed, factories have beefi located here, a fine school house has erected and many other minor improvements I ave been made In fact th gr-d '• v lopme a of our'.t4>wu has dated from the fire of; 1901. 1 J ' A knox vyting mail . dance.? regyjarly, but who has been I unab e to master the new-fangled “barn dane,’’ which is the rage/of the qoun.try at present, sent 25 cent? to a Chicago firm list week fee I mail order lesson.

WNAE OUESIION The Kankakee Reclamation Co. at a meeting held in Knox - recei t. to consider a number ot important matters, at the siiggeetson of Mt, Keller, a member of that compan., A. J. Bunnell of this city, an extensive manufacturer and well known to our people, was asked to express his views as he has taken great interest in the drainage proposition that has arisen, and has been very much considered by- the people of Kankakee pertaining to the jocks at Momence, says , the North Judson News. As our readers pre well aware', Mr. Bunnell was prominently mentioned for congress by those who were aware of the proposition in which be was so deeply interested believing that he could bring about results by being honored that "would revolutionize all interests especially that of drainage of the Kankakee valley. He then proposed that be would make his principal duty ag a member of congress to see that proper aid was given to remove the rooks at Momence. The political conditions in the district, however, resulted in the nomination of Mr, H. A. Barnhart but the views of Mr. Bun,nell are still maintained that he wonld have made, effectual if elected and expresses a hope that tbe present congressman may not overlook thecsame matter now. It was so imbedded in his mind that whnn he wuh'lrew the race, le still pursues, and will until acoomj bslied, use of nis influence an l ener./y to u.. it- of f <•- to o bring about this wonderful fuiurG itmt is Vi-ible to tiie m..luotisitiids oi I ;><k:uia.■ It is a we’.i known fact I'm--rj-i roe’-, at Momfrii-ce slands a barrier again;' , the suocess'ul ‘ drainage unless the ; can be removed.
