Chronicle There are no stories that multiply so rapidly as those concerning smallpox There are a number in every town that believe the neighboring towns are overrun with the pest Over at Battle Creek last week a story was current that there were so many coses in Madison that the town had been quarantined and any one hailing from the county seat was held in horror by the scarry When it is known that there was but one case of smallpox here the worth of the stories can be seen at a glance This is prob ably true of other towns Since Norfolk endeavored to attain some notoriety by owning a hen that hatched a chicken with three legs the hens of other towns have been exerting themselves to take away the honors The latest rival for the prize is a Nio brara hen the Pioneer relating her achievement as follows As a wonder breeder C A Nippell takes the belt Among his chicken hatch this week were two chicks with four legs and double heads each They were so un like anything else that the mother hen murdered one of them and began on the other but most of this was saved and now it is on exhibition at the Palace drug Btore Stanton Picket Tom Orelup came to town yesterday morning In front
