Armstrong of Dawson cdDrJty was nominated for congress hfem the Sixth district. Atibrew Morrlsey of Lincoln, demc eflttl candidate for attorney general, big protested against the nominees of the progressive party going on the ballot under that party designation, and the matter will be threshed out id the courts. The ticket offered the people of the state by the republican party is one tbat every iover of good clean govern ment can honestly and conscientiously support. It is a good clean ticket and worthy the support of alt re publicans and good citizens of all political parties. The dreaded horse disease, menin gitis, has made its appearance among the horses In this county and horse owners should take every precaution to save their horses from this ailment. Most authorities say that about the only thing to do is to take the horses off the pasture, and this should be done to protect them. Remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of oure. Andrew Morrlsey is the possessor of a nomination for attorney general from a political party that has no real legal existence tor the past four years the peoples Independent party-yet he tttrying to prevent the nominees of the progressive party from going on the ballot under their party desig nation. As long as Andrew retains the populist nomination we believe it cqines with poor grace for him to <}|!Mt!on the looallty of the nominees q( (he progressive party. -4-»h> Governor Wilson wa3 an Iowa visitor the first of the week, speaking at the Inter-State fair at Sioux City l*WTu esday.

Bryan spoke tb a crowd of thousands at Sioux Olty,|and they went there to bear him t0OM there was no Inter-State fair to help draw the people, but notwith standing the fact that thousands went to hear him he was defeated by nearly 100,000 votes in Iowa at that eleotion. Doc Bixby in State Journal: Judge Howard’s grief over the apostasy of Hike Harrington is the most pathetit thing we have seeu in the publlo prints since Brother Charley Pool an nounced bis withdrawal from the raoe for governor. The judge declares that Mike has dug a ditch so deep and wide that when he calls to his political friends to come to the aid of the party, they will find it impossible to do him any service. We don't see any good reason for blubbering about it, even if all the judge says is literally true. In beooming a bull moose,Mr. Harrington may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire but he is surely getting away from mighty bad political associations, and the change cannot fall to be helpful and uplifting. Shallenberfer Should Talk. A. C. Shallenberger, democratic nominee for U. S. Senator finds him self severely complicated over the “harvester trust” issue. In December, 1010, Mr. Shallenberger’s attorney general, Arthur F. Mullen, requested the writer’s presence in Omaha and paid the expenses of the trip out of the state treasury. Arriving at Omaha the ouster petition against the harvester trust was read to us, with the surprising information that it was not going to be filed. The responsibility for keeping this question out of court was plaoed at Mr. Sballenberger’s door and the fact that the governor’s brother, who is general agsnt for the International Harvester Company In Indiana, had been a Nebraska visitor tbe week previous was vividly pictured. We naturally felt a deep regret against tbe cbief executive as tbe case had been prepared with the aid and advice of Ex-Attorney General Jack son of Kansas, Governor Hadley, At oorney General Majors of Missouri and other specialists. When the vouch ers are checked up in the state treas urer’s office it will be seen it was pre pared at quite an expense. Later another cat hopped out and it looked as though the attorney gen eral himself had been the malefactor in fee simple. The question of the responsibility was put directly up to Mr. Shallen berger. It was printed in bis home paper and in twenty-five others. If Mr. Shallenberger choses to default and let public opinion render a judg ment against him on the Mullen evi dence that is his business. The ex governor knows the kidney of the po litical strnmpet for the harvester trust by this time or he will if he goes to dealing In facts. He win then find that friendship, confidence, religion and professional ethics are merely merchandise to be auctioned to the highest bidder. Mr Shallenberger finds himself be tween two fires. Mr. Mullen is one of the most practical men in Nebraska politics. He knows the inside of the Shallen berger administration and is there fore in a position of dangerous strategy for the would be senator. The voters however will expect Mr. Shallenberger to face tbe music on this issue or the few Taft votes he will get will be bonesome after election day.—Creighton Liberal. The Horse Disease. During the past two weeks the papers have been full of matter to the effect that hundreds of horses have been dying in Kansas from a disease that has been called meningitis. The disease has reached this county. J. F. Shoemaker losing three head the first of the week. D. A. Doyle lost a fine mare Tuesday. We understand that John Hickey has also lost one horse and we hear that there have been several head lost In the south oountry and down near Page. Dr. D. S. Palmer of Holdrege claimed to have some luck in the treatment of the disease and the following treat ment Is reproduced for the benefit of our readers. “Lobelia was formerly used for treatment of syphilis before mercury oame into common use. Many phy sicians in the last year or so are using the hypodermic lobelia in dlsptheria and tetanus Instead of the serums, as it has proven to be a vegetable antltoxine. “The treatment (for the horse meuingitls) is to Inject hypodermloally an ounce of Sloyd’s hypodermic lobelia every four hours, using a gallon of salt water In the bowels every two hours. The hypodermlo lobelia is the same strength as the flued extract. The fluid extract has been used with the same results, but there Is no need In forming an abscess at the point of lnjeotlon.” Bulletin From Washington. During the last five months numer ous reports have been received by the bureau of animal Industry at Wash ington relative to the existence of forage poisoning In various sections of the United States, particularly in Louisiana, West Virginia,Kansas and . * f ■ Home of Green Bay, Wisconsin, says of BLISS NATIVE HERBS uMm^ azu, 'fUALi/y SSov~ /MnutKiy AM /CUA*AM&uXiiXi, a*mhaV aaakaJ' BUSS NATIVE HERBS is used in \ 'Kidneys and Ever, makes rich bloodandinsures,perfcthealth. \^X0&blel^ ^^tbeB/issagenf.^ Alberts Harness & Shoe Store - -• - — Nebraska. It has usually occurred when a hot, dry period has been followed by rains, or during wet seasons, especially those which are characterized by frequent rains alter nating with hot sunshine, producing a damp, sultry atmosphere. Such conditions are most favorable to the productions of molds, and all out breaks that have been Investigated by the bureau have been traced to the eating of unsound or moldy forage or , feed, or to the drinking of water from ! wells or pools containing surface water drained through decomposed or moldy vegetation. The desease has beeo shown to be also due to eating damaged ensilage, bay, corn, brewer’s grains, oats etc. Horses and mules at pasture may contract the disease when the growth of grass is so prof used that it mates together and the lower part dies and forments or becomes moldy. No specific organism or virus has yet been found which can be considered as the cause of this disease. The so-called cerebro spinal meningitis of horses being an entirely different disease from that which occurs in man, the spmptoras as well as the cause are distinctly different. In the most rapid fatal attack death takes place In from four to forty-eight hours. Such eases begin with violent trembling or stupor and extreme weakness, or with staggering gait, partial or total inability to swallow, impairment of eyesight, followed by partial or complete paralysis, inability to stand, with marked delirium, dur ing which the animal lying flat on its side becomes violent and knocks and bruises its head. In the second form of the disease the same line of symptons may be be noticed in a milder degree. Difficulty in swallow ing, slowness in chewing the food and Inability to switch the tall are ob served. Breathing becomes heavy and noisy, and delirium may develop with stiffening of the spinal muscles or partial cramp of the neck and jaws. Death occurs In from six to ten days. In the last or mildest form the lack of voluntary control of the limbs becomes but slightly marked, the power of swallowing Is never en tirely lost, and the animal has no fever, pain or unconscious movements In those cases which get well the animal begins to improve the fourth day. and goes on to recovery. One attack does not protect against a second attack, as horses and mules have been known to have the disease two or three times. The first principle in tbe treatment of this disease consists in a total change of feed and forage. Horses kept in the stable should be fed with sound forage and grain from an un contamlnated source, even if such food has to be brought from a distance. Horses that have become affected while atfpasture should be removed from the field in which they have been running. The animals should be brought to the barn or corral and fed on wholesome and clean feed and forage. The water, unless from an unpolluted source, should likewise be changed. At present this preventative treat ment is the only satisfactory metnod known for checking the disease, as all medical remedies used have been un satisfactory in the vast majority of cases. The first step is to empty the bowls and remove the poisonous puoducts, but on account of the difficulty in swallowing, an aloes ball or Glauber’s salt is hard to give. In fact no remedy should be given In the mouth if the throat is paralyzed, as pbeumonla is liable to result. Fifteens grains of barium ohloride injected into the jugular vein or two grains of eserin under tbe skin, if the animal Is not too greatly de pressed, will usually aot promptly. Intestinal disinfectants such ^as calomel, salicylic acid, or creolin are also used. If much weakness Is shown and the temperature is below normal give aromatic spirits of ammonia, digitalis, alcohol, ether, or camphor* Rectal injections of warm water are good, and warm blankets wrong out of hot water may also be applied to the body. Subsequent treatment should consist of two-grain doses of strychnine twice daily, or a mixture of two drams tincture nux vomica and one-half ounce of Fowler’s solution given at one dose, and repeated three times dally, to oombat the effect of poison upon the rervous system.
