Dr. J. S. Anderson. Htnto veterin
arian, has returned from Madison
with corroboration of the report that
rattle unt hogs were dyinn in large
numbers from anthrax. Oread blood
disease of a highly Infectious nature.
Dr. Anderson report that twenty-
one bead of hogs died on the farm on
t V. Sproult, five miles northwcBt
of Madison, between Wednesday and
Saturday, and that many more of the
herd or one hundred and tlfty had
probably died since. Mr. Sproult al
so lost eight steers of a herd of three
hundred mid fifty. Two doKH in tin
community died. Drastic orders have
been Issued in the community of
Madison, to this effect : All dona must
be kept shut or tied up. Any that
are seen running at large are to tx
hot.
The reason for this order ia pre
vention. Dogs are agents In the
carrying of disease, especially when
mich disease genus are found in meat
from the dead carcass of a beef or
hog. Dr. Anderson reports that the
Madison community is greatly
wrought up over the spread of the
disease, lie brought to Lincoln and
had sent to Kansas City the ear of a
hog and a poitlon of the spleen of a
steer. 1 tot I) annuals died of what is
believed to have been the dread an
thrax. The slate veterinarian desires
verification of his diaunosls. Accord
ing to his statement, anthrax Is prac
tically unknown in Nebraska, lie is
of the opinion that the discus" lias
not Invaded the state on More than
live or six occasions In all time. It
has often been reported, but Investi

the Sproult herd, the hogs contract

had drunk from a creek. Dr. Ander
son Is or the opinion that millions of
the antlirax germs were thus diffus

herd drank from th s stream. The
veterinarian is fearful of the result.
Dr. Anderson has been asked to fur

Heal good hogs were comparatively
scarce on Monday's market, and as
shippers had orders for some loads of
that sort, the competition was very
keen on most of t ho desirable stuff
that was here, order buyers taking a

for a week. Hulk of the offerings

amounting to 137 cars or about 38,000

sharply higher affair. Sellers went af
ter a big advance, and while packers
took their lime about it they finally
gave in. paying prices that were 15

shipment of good lambs topped the
market at $10.25. Feeding lambs sold
about steady with last week's close.

drought in the southwestern part of
the state. The quality of moat bar
ley Is line.
Keturns from fields of potatoes
that have been harvested indicate
that the yield of late potatoes is low
lue to the heat and drought. The
early potatoes are quite good. Re
ports from the western counties show
that the yield is a trifle better than
earlier conditions warranted. I'rices
are very high for this time of the
year and the demand is good.
The total production of hay was
large and while not up to last year
in quantity is far superior in quality.
I'he fourth cutting of alfalfa is light.
Clover seed is fair. The yields of
.ilfalfa seed vary much but an aver-
ige crop is assured. All forage crops
were fair, sweet sorghum being dam
aged somewhat by frost. The total
production of tomatoes, cabbage and
mions is quite low. The condition
of sugar beetV is very good.

Friihiv liiornin- at 10 o'clock an
Vunn of lire was turned in from
rhird street and Hig Horn avenue.
vvliere the burn belonging to K. M.
Macken was discovered to be on lire.
The Humes got a good start but
prompt work on the part of the fire
lepai tment resulted in the putting
ut of the lire and the saving or tbe
buildings adjacent. There was a lot
of hay in the barn and it made a ter-
ible smudge, making the work or
;he firemen somewhat ditlicult. The
building was about half burned
lown. Tlie pressure on the hydrant
waa rather weak. The building was
insured. What caused the tire is
not definitely known but Just before
it was discovered a small boy was
seen to run out of the building, and
it is conjectured that a lad with
matches formed the combination
that resulted in the conflagration.

house. It is alleged the purchase
price Is approximately $12,000. Some
provisions regarding the lease of t he
building, etc., probably will make
the net price somewhat lower.
Mr. DuBuque has made a great
success of the picture show business
in Alliance. He understands what
I the public demands and spares neith
' er expense nor pains in providing
j equipment and features that are at
tractive. He wus not anxious to sell
I the Imperial but getting a satisfac
tory offer he concluded to lake it. It
is reported Mr. DuBuque will pur
chase a theatre in the upper Michi
! gan peninsula at the town of (llad
. stone, but he has not definitely de
cided on this project, but will inves
tigate the proposition.
A meeting of the hospital board
was held Sunday afternoon and steps
were taken to Inaugurate a cam
paign for funds with which to com
plete the payment of claims which
'are due on construction contracts.
Messrs. J. W. tluthrie, Harry
Highland and tleorge Darling were
selected to carry on the good work.
This committee will have the solici
tation tif funds in charge but they
must have the hearty co-operation of
all citizens in this meritorious en
terprise. The sisters in charge of the build
ing of the new hospital have gono
ahead with the construction, and
now it is up to the general public to
contribute liberally in order to place
the hospital on a solid footing finan
cially. The institution is a real ben
efit to the community unci to north
west Nebraska and not only should
the people of Alliance give the hos
pital financial support but the citiz
ens of the northwestern part of the
state should help also, and many of
them have promised to do so. A hos
pital like St. Joseph's is not entirely
local in its benefactions, but its
blessings ramify for many miles In
every direction, in providing a mod
ern place for the Bick and injured.

CONDITIONS IX STATU
Much of the corn promises bettei
jienis man expected, a large per
centage of the corn in the east cen
tral and northeastern parts of the
state will be excellent. Home of the
drought damaged counties pro'i ise
less than a half crop, but even here
well-cultivated fields have a fair
crop. The frost did a slight damage
to some of the latest corn. The past
month has been favorable for matur
ing corn and a good quality is ex-
pected.
Oats ate exceptionally good. Karly
seeding an 1 a cool June with ample
moisture matured nearly all of the
crop before the drought came and
the yield is one of the largest on rec
ord for the state. The straw was
shorter than usual but the heads
were long, and well-tilled The qual
ity is tine.
One-third of the spring wheat was
more or less damaged by black rust
which lowered the yield and quality
considerably. The northeastern and
southwestern sect ions of ihe state
have a fair crop. Later returns on
winter wheat show that the yield is
fully up to the preliminary estimate
of 19.5 bushels per acre. Weather
condition have been ideal for seed-
ing winter wheat but it is quite dry
now in nost sections. The fields
that were plowed early have ample
moisture and the wheat is In tine
condition.
The yield of barley is quite good.
