STAMPING OUT THE FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE AMONG
THE CATTLE OF THE COUNTRY
How does it happen that within
forty-eight hours after the discovery
of the foot-and-mouth disease among;
cattle in the Chicago stock yards it
should be reported to exist in thirteen
states? Has there been any adequate
system of inspection by the federal
and various state authorities if its
appearance in so many localities had
not been before suspected? There is
always reason in such circumstances
to anticipate that alarmist reports
mry be exaggerated. One wholesome
effect, fortunately, is to stimulate of
ficial vigilance and the taking; of
measures for the prevention of the
spread of the disease. If there has
he-en negligence in the past, it is not
likely to happen aeain for some time.
The interests at stake are too great,
for both the cattle-growers and farm
ers on one side and the consumers on
the other are directly concerned. The
sinister aspect of the matter is the
evident eaeerness of some people to
take advantage of the government's
prompt action and profit by it to cre
ate a panicky feeling; among; farmers
and consumers. As yet there is no
proof that any larg;e number of cat
tle has developed the disease, and the
number actually destroyed at Chicaero
has been only what would an incon
siderate part of the daily receipts
there under normal conditions. But
the g-amblers in food need little en
couiajremer.t if they see a chance to
help along; the frame of extortionate
prices.
MRS. SARAH SETZ, MOTHER

rison. In this suit the plaintiff seeks
to have two deeds to real estate ex
ecuted by George W. Garrison, de
ceased, to the two first named defend
ants set aside. In her petition the
plaintiff states that the deeds were
made in 181)0 by George W. Garrison,
and remained in his possession until
his death, when they were secured by
the defendants and filed. The petition
further states that the plaintiff was
married to the late George W. Garri
son on June 12. 1002. at Seymore. Ia..
and that in August, 1003, he executed
a will giving- to the plaintiff the sum
of $500 and a life interest in the
homestead, and after his tleath in
June this was admitted to probate and
the plaintiff refused to accept the set
tlement and demanded her dower
right of one-fourth interest in the es
tate. She asks that the deeds be set
aside and the real estate, consisting
of farm lands, be listed with the
property of the estate for division.
Matthew Gerir.g appears for the
plaintiff, and Rawls & Robertson for
the defendants.

From Friday's Dallv.
The condition of Mrs. Mary J. Jean,
who was injured quite severely a few
days ago at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Alice Collins, in Lincoln, is
reported as being slightly improved,
and the relatives and friends are now
hopeful of her recovery from her in

of the Collins home with another
daughter, Mrs. A. N. Sullivan, when
Mrs. Sullivan slipped and fell, and in
doing so caused Mrs. Jean to fall, with
the result that the aged lady sus
tained a broken hip as well as a brok
en shoulder blade. Medical assistance

would allow. Her son, C. L. Jean, and
wife, residing southwest of this city,
are at her bedside in Lincoln, assist
ing in caring for the mother, who is
quite well advanced in years, being
over 80 years of age. Mrs. Jean is
one of the pioneers of Cass county,
and her many friends here will re
gret greatly to learn of her misfor
tune and will trust that she may re
cover without serious effects from the
injuries.

HUNTERS MUST LTJOK OUT
FOR GAME WARDEN ON
DOTH SIDES OF RIVER ii;
From Friday's TaPr.
Deputy Game Warden T. L. Hall
was over on the river near Folsom
last Sunday and incidentally found
three non-resident hunters from Oma
ha in the act of hunHr.g. took them
before Justice Bouquet ef Pacific
Junction and they put up a bond of
above $30, sufficient to cover the state
license and costs. Whether they will
contest the case in court, time will
tell. G'enwood Tribune.
The sportsmen from this city who
hunt to any extent on the Missouri
river should fight shy of the Iowa
side of the river or they may suffer
a similar dose, as the Towa laws are
very severe on the wrong-doer from
out of the state.

LOCAL FOOT? BALL
TEAM REGISTER
ANOTHER VICTORY
Th? Glenwood Boys Not Stout Enough
and Fast Enough for Our Boys,
bv Any Means.
Yesterday afternoon the Platts
mouth foot ball team added one more
to their list of victories when they an
nexed the contest with the team rep
resenting Company I, Iowa National
Guard, by the score of 12 to 0, but
which should have been much greater
had the locals played the foot ball
that they can and should have done.
The game was attended by a large
outpouring of the fans to witness the
efforts of the athletics representing
Plattsmouth, and the victory was one
that gratified everyone. The use of
the forward pass by Tlattsmouth was
very successful thioughout the game,
the throws by Arries at quarter and
the receiving by Humphries being all
that could be asked for and added to
the ease with which the game was an
nexed from the Iowa boys. The
kicking of Streight was also one of
the features of the game and his
trusty putting of the ball was one of
the causes of the victory for the
locals. Ames, the veteran center, was
out of the game yesterday suffering
from injuries received in the game a
week ago with the Columbians at
Omaha, and his place in the line was
taken by Fred Dawson, who done very
good work, although not used to this
position. The locals have a very fast
organization this year and one that
does not need to take a back seat for
any of the small town teams in this
section of the country.

day for a short time trying to get
trace of a team of small gray ponies
that were stolen from the premises of
Mr. Dwyer near Maryville last Thurs
day evening. The sheriff had traced
the team as far as Shenandoah, Iowa,
and there the track of the team was
lost and it was thought they had been
taken west and as the ferry over the
river here made a convenient crossing
place the Missouri sheriff came over
to consult with Sheriff Quinton as to
whether or not a team of the descrip
tion of the one stolen had been seen
here. The two gentlemen returned
home without having found a trace of
the team.

ED SCHWALD HURT GY
OVERTURNING WAGON
WHILE HUSKING CORN
Last Friday afternoon Ed Schwald,
who is employed e:i the farm of
Charles Tucker, one mile we.-t of Mur
ray, met with an accident that will
lay him un for several months, as
the result of the overturning of the
wagon in which he was stan ling. Ed
was engaged in shucking corn in the
field and had occasion to turn the
wagon, in which he was putting the
corn, around, and climbed into the
wagon box to turn the team, and in
doing so the wheels of the wagon
cramped and the vehicle was over
turned, throwing Ed out and breaking
his right leg some six inches below
the thigh bone. He was at once taken
to the house and medical assistance
summoned from Murray and the in
jury set by Dr. B. F. Brendel and the
patient made as comfortable as pos
sible. It was decided that it would
be best to take the injured man to the
hospital in Omaha where he co.i'd
have the proper care and attention
that the serious nature of the irjury
demanded, and yesterday afternoon
the neighbors brought the unfortunate
young man to Murrav from where 1 e
was taken to Omaha on the afterno. n
Missouri Pacific train to undo: go
treatment. Mr. Schwald has lived
near Murray for the past year, beir g
employed on several farms in th.it
locality, and has made many friends
there by his manly actions and deal
ings and everyone in that section of
the county will be grieved to kar ri
of his misfortune. He is about twenty
years of age and came to Murray
from Chicago, where his home is.
Miss Josephine Ulrich returned this
morning to Omaha, after an over
Sunday visit in this city with her par
