TO PREVENT ITS SPREAD
(From ft. Start Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 5. (Special.) Dr
Anderson, state veterinarian, after an
investigation of the conditions which
have prevailed relative to the foot-and-mouth
disease among cattle, has
issued the following statement:
Owing to the tnrt thaOhe stockmen of
ihis state are confronted wtth a disease af
fecting horses and cattle, known as
vesicular stomatitis, and owing to the fact
that it has become pretty widespread and
a a result the state has received uncom
plimentary advertising-, and It is transmit
ted largely through the public stock yards,
livery barns and public drinking tanks I
leem It is my duty to ask every person in
this state who has in their possession any
animals affected with this disease to Isolate
them and to treat them with some appro
priate mouth wash or antiseptic until the
animals have rerovered; to hold under ob
servation all exposed animals for at least
olffht days. The well animals should be pr.
cnled from getting food or water mouthed
vor by animals with sore mourns. ino
premises where infected animals have been
kept should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected with a & ner cent solution of car
bolic acid or a 3 per cent solution of liquor
c resells compound, or their equivalents.
With the hope that we can get a liberal
(C -ope rat Ion of the stockmen, who own ant
mMj that are affected with the disease In
question, I deem it will not be practical
to establish a general quarantine, although
Rome states arc Quarantined against us on
HccdTmt of this disease and the prospects
arc they will fVmaln so for some time. If
wo could get the hearty co-operation or all
persons who have stock in their charge or
burns, yards and other accessories where
the disease is spread, it will then be pos
nililfi to relieve the sltuatloiv without estab
lishing a general quarantine. Where we find
It Impossible - to get the co-operation
some individuals, we will then establish
Kpcoial quarantine to take care of these con
ditions, aa tn our estimation will be advisa
ble to conform with reasonable and sane
sanitation.
Thomas to Get One More
Chance at Normal Board
iFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec.. 3. (Special.) It is
evident that there is an effort on foot
to keeo State Superintendent A. O.
Thomas from meetjfig with the State
normal noara Dciore ins rciuciucui
from office the first of the year, a let
ter having been received by State
Treasurer Hall, a member of the
board, written by A. L. Caviness, the
secretary, wanting to know if there
is any good reason why the regular
meeting of the board should not be
held December 11.
Whether the old rinff which has
dominated the Norma School board i-ls
does not want to give the state super
intendent a chance to give his farewell
kaddress to his fellow members on the
board is notK nown, uut to tnose
around the state house who have
watched the fight made by Caviness
and others against Thomas, it appears
like an attempt to keep the state su
perintendent from meeting again with
them.
However, Treasure Hall contends
the coming meeting is an important
one and should bemeld.

Governor Proclaims
Vote on Amendments
(From a Styf Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 5. (Special.) In or
der that the people of Nebraska may
be sure that the state went dry at the
last election, Governor Morehead has
issued a proclamation in which he as
sures the people that such is the case.
He proclaims that the amendment
polled- 303,685 votes as a total, of
which 146,574 were for the dry propo
sition and 117,132 were against it,
making a majority of 29,442 for the
amendment, which makes the amend
ment carry because the proposition re
ceived more than the required three
fifths vote in its favor.
He also assures the people that the
pure food amendment did not receive
the required three-fifths vote in its fa
vor and is therefore lost. The vote
showed 302,685 votes cast for and
against, of which 91.215 were for it
and 105,993 against it, therefore not
carried. v

No Trouble to Remove
Superfluous Hair
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD,
OIL KING, IS DEAD
(Continued Pram 1'age One.)
of the operation and transfusion was
performed on the afternoon of No
vember 29 by Dr. Edward Lindemann
and Dr. George F. Brewer. Following
the operation, Mr. Arelibold showed
increased strength and his physicians
and members of his family appeared
optimistic that the improvement
would be, permanent. His simple hab
its of fife and rugged constitution
buoyed up the hope that he would
survive
Member of First Oil Trust.
John D. Archbold was almost as
closely identified with the history ot
the Standard Uil company as jonn
D. Rockefeller himself. One of the
first nine trustees of the "trust form
ed in 1892, he alone remained in this
capacity until its' dissolution in 1911
at the order of the United States su
preme court, and it was he who was
named to engineer the dissolution.
after which he became president, and
director of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey. He wasjthe most ag
gressive tighter in tne on combine
and invariably represented the Stan
dard Oil on the witness stand in nu
merous hearings in connection with
the government's suit to dissolve it.
This publicity was still further
heightened by the publication of a
score or more of letters from Mr.
Archbold to Joseph B. Foraker, then
senator from Ohio, Representative
Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania and
other statesmen, showing that large
sums of money had been distributed
for the alleged purpose of influencing
t'avnrabrr legislation at Washington.
Mr. Archbold considered them as at
torney fees. The publication of these
letters exposed Mr. Arcnbo'd to at
tack from every quarter.
John Dustih Archbold was born at
Leesburg, O., July 26, 1848, and was
working -in a country store at Salem,
O., when he heard of the wonderful
oil regions in western Pennsylvania,
where men were becoming rich over
night. In 1864 he went to the oil
fields and became a refiner and buyer
at Titusville. He became the agent
of a new company, the Acme com
pany, which proved to be an offshoot
of the Rockefeller interests, and from
that time, in 1875, until his death, he
was an associate of the Rockefellers.
Worth Hundred Millions.
It has been estimated tnat Mr.
Archbold's fortune, made almost en
tirely in oil and its byproducts, was
nearly $100,000,000. He was one of
the best informed men in the details
of the oil business in all of its branch
es and, according to his own state
ment, held that all of the practices
of the Standard Oil company were
honorable and, he believed, in con
formity to the law.
"I stand unquestionably." he said in
defending the trust idea, "for co-operative
evolution. I believe that the
large corporations of the present day
represent more nearly this co-operation
than any system yet undertaken."
Senator Jones
Enters a Denial
In Damage Suit
Red Oak, la Dec. 5. (Special Tel
egram.) Senator F. F. Jones of Vil
lisca went on the stand today in de
fense of himself in the suit in which
he is suing Detective Wilkcrson for
$60,000. He said that he knew where
the slaughter house was located, near
which Mrs. Vina Tompkins of Mar
shalltown testified that she overheard
the alleged murder plot in the fall ot
1911, previous to the murder of the
Joe Moore family; that he saw it
about twenty years ago, but not since
that time until a few days ago, when
he visited it in company with his at
torney. He denied that he ever took
part in a conversation near that
slaughter house in which someone
asked, "Where will we get the
money?" as was brought out in the
testimony ot Mrs. J onipmns.
In his testimony this afternoon Scn-
ator Jones told about his going in
company with other persons to the
Joe Moore home on the morning after
the murder, and he stated that he did
everything he could to assist in find
ing out who committed the crime. 1
lie denied that he was ever in a
room over the postolfice building in
Villisca with V. B. McCaull. with a
bottle of beer between them, as was
tct,hiSj lii, K hi Nelson nf Villisca.
ami he denied also any knowledge of
any conversation in the Jones imple
ment shed on the night of May 26.
1910 which I. W. Noell ol Villisca
testified that he overheard. Noel!
testified that the conversation was-be-tween
F. F. Jones, Albert Jones, W.
II. McCaull and a man whom he did
not know, and that it, w as relative to
ihe murder.
The rritss-f-xuminatiou ol Senator
Jones was still in progress when ad

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRHAL
DEAFNESS AND HEAD
NOISES.
If you know snmeorn who is troubled with
head noises, or Catarrhal Deafness, cut out
this formula, and hand it to them, and you
will have been the means of savin it some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
Recent experiments have proved conclusive
ly that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc.,
were tne direct cause ot constitutional dis
ease, and that salves, sprays, inhalers, etc.,
merely temporize with the complaint and
ie mom. if ever, effect a permanent cure.
This beintr so, much time and money has
been soent of late by a noted specialist in
perfecting a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that wouJd quicKiy dispel ail traces oi tne
catarrhal poison from the system. The ef
fective prescription which wan eventually
formulated, and which has aroused the be
lief that deafness will soon he extinct, is
given below in understandable form, so that
anyone can treat themselves in their, own
kkMA mt lit., .wnanu
Secure from your drutctrist 1 oz. Varmint
(Double Strength) about 75c worth. Take
this home and add to it i pint of hot water
and A 01. of granulated sujcnr; Btir until
dissolved. Take one table spoonful four times
day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache, dull
ness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hear
ing rapidly returns as the system is in
vigorated by the tonic action of the treat
ment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping in
the back of the throat, are other symptoms
that show the presence of catarrhal poison,
and which are often entirely overcome by
this efficacious , treatment. Nearly ninety
per cent of all ear troubles are directly
caused by catarrh : therefore, there must he
many people whose hearing can be restored
by this simple home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with head
noises, catarrhal deafness or catarrh in any
form, should give this prescription a trial.

The New Wonder Worker

It is an easy matter to rid the skin
ot' objectionable hair or fuzz, if you
proceed as follows: Mix a paste with
some water anf. a little powdered del

J or 3 minuted rub off, wash the skin
and the hairs are gone. This method
of banishing hairy 'growths is pain
less and does not mar the skin, but tu
avoid disappointment, be certain to
get real delatone. Advertisement.
Here, at last, is the preparation you long
have waited fo a tonic-laxative which
really assists Nature, instead of antagonis
ing her! One which gives-more than mere
temporary relief and which does not
courage the laxative habit.
LAX-OLA acts so easily, gently, there is
never the least pain or discomfort. Nj

LAX-OLA is without question the most
natural, most effective and safest remedy
for costiveness, and associate troubles yet
produced by medical science. It is so re
markably meritorious, so "different," that
no man or woman who tries it would ever
think of using any other laxative after that
LAX-OLA is the ideal laxative for old
and young, for invalids as well as the robust.
