COLOXEL DE.1XT A GOOD TTPK Veaerable RMldest ef Coeinrll Blaffa Hsmi Stlrrlaa; Career. Amort the esteemed and venerated resi dents of Council Bluffs Is Colonel Wil liam N. fpenny, a splendid type of the American cltlten and soldier, and of that make of men that have bullded up the west and whose clean record as a soldier, public officer, partisan and cltlsen la a standing refutation to the often repeated assertion that no good can come of a politician. Colonel W. N. Denny, the son of William and Catherine Denny, natives of Kentucky, was born May 12, 1831, at Brucevllle, Ind. In 185S the family' removed to Vlncennes, where the elder Denny at once took a prominent part tn the religious, social and political life of that sePtlon. Colonel Denny received his early education at the old Vlncennes university, and early took an active ' part In the stirring political times of that period, and was made deputy clerk of that county. He took up the profession of law, and was about to engage In the active work of that profession, with the most brilliant opportunities opening out before him, when there came from Washington that resonant call for the nation to arm and offer up every sacrifice of ambition and life for country. Young Denny was one of the first to respond to the call of President Lincoln, and with hla father and brothers was ac tive In enlisting the young men of the county, himself bclns one of the first to sign his name to the enlistment roll. Still but a youth, he started to the front as a first lieutenant, and served throughout the war with distinction that won for him the colonelcy of the Fifty-first Indiana volun teer Infantry. In 1S63 he was urged to accept a commission in the regular army, but he refused the offer and returned to Vlncennes to take up the work he had laid down five years before. In 1(W7 he was united. In marriage to Ellen K. Lemen of Salem, 111., the sweetheart of hla war-time daya, and whose cheering letters, urging him onward and upward were the stimulus of his gallantry and bravery, aa the knight errant chivalry of old. Recognizing his eminent worth. President Grant in lfif, offered him the appointment as postmaster at Vlncennes. He served In that position for thirteen years, with the same distinguished fidelity to duty that had characterized his army life. Naturally a leader In every undertaking in which he engaged, he at once assumed a front position in fne councils of the republi can party of aouthern Indiana. He wrought not for himself, but for the good of the community, and the good of his country, believing that Its best Interests lay through the policies of the ' republican party. He led without being conspicuous. Four great qualities have been the distinguishing fea tures of hla career, patriotism, unselfish ness, retirement and, frankness. . Klght children were born to Colonel and Mrs. Denny, of whom only three daughters are living. Colonel Denny haa for some years, since his retirement from public life, made his home with his daughters In Council Bluffs, where they are engaged In religious and literary work. The young- cat, Mary - P. Denny, la associated with "The Word and the Way," In special edi torial work, and I a contributor to many other publications.

For years the veterinarians of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and the different state experiment stations have been trying to find a practicable cure for hog cholera. Their efforts have been successful and In order to celebrate the event and to ar range the many details in connection with the preparation of the remedy on a com mercial scale and get It before the farm ers of the state. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Chief of the Bureau of Anlm.il Industry Dr. A. D. Melvln have called to gether at Ames today a ten day congress of the veterinarians of the corn belt states to talk the matter over with the officials of the bureau of animal industry. At this meeting instruction In the process of ad ministering the new remedy will be given to the different state veterinarians and meat inspectors. The process will be scat tered throughout the afflicted states. During the last fiscal year, of the 161,8(5 hogs slaughtered In the great packing cen ters under government Inspection, over 19.329 were cholera suspects. This number takes no accourft of the great amount of damage done to Individual herds through out the country every ' season. The pro cess consists of the Injection of the blood of an affected animal Into the circulation of one not yet under the Influence, of the disease. This must be combined with the Injection of the serum of an animal al ready immune. The production of a vac cine by means of Infected blood Instead of artificial culturea of the germ Is the basis of the ire. These deductions were the result of observations , of the action of the disease upon hogs that had once been through an attack. The method haa been so successful that it la generally conceded by prominent veterinarians that It will completely rob the hog cholera scourge of lta terrors. For over six months the veterlnaians of Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Nebraska have been working in cooperation with the federal authorities to determine to what extent the process would prove of value In practice. It now rests with the state and government authorities to see that thla process is efficiently carried out. At the present meeting It will also be decided whether thla cholera cure will be distri buted by state or fed-ra1 authorities or by private Individuals. Dolllver at Marahalltowa. MARSHALLTOWN.
