At New Petersburg Last Saturday Night, Thieves Getting $15 In Stamps. h Dr. Brown Tells of Symp toms and Effects Upon Cattle and Stock ONLY FEW ANIMALS DIE But Recovery is Very Slow and at Great Expense to 'Own ersQuarantine Should be Strictly Observed. The following brief, description of the nature of the foot and mouth disease, now epidemic among cattle, was furnished by Dr. Brown at the request of the editor, a number of our readers having asked us to secure an authoritative statement on the dis ease: Foot and mouth disease in cattle Is one of the mo9t contagious of the ail ments affecting animals It starts out with chills and fever and ruffing of the hair which are soon followed bv blisters on the inside of the lips and cheeks and over thB tongue and almost simultaneously therewith, blebs or blisters with red ness and swelling may be observed around the tops of the feet, at the function of the hoof and hair and be tween the toes. , These symptoms appear In from three to six das, after exposure to the infection, beginning first with the chill and fever and loss of appetite, an uneasy shuffling of the mouth and tongue and "licking of the "chops showing evident distress about the mouth preceedlng the actual breaking out of the blisters which Is always accompanied with slobbering first of a glaring stringy mucous which subse quently merges into a grayish purulent discharge owing to the Issuing of the blister contents. Immediately, or thereabout, follow ing these signs the feet become in volved and the animal suffers great tM Mrl In n Inmn fronnnnt'llT fD. pu duu is voi, iauio, Hj " lusii.g to anou iium t..c .,... .., until great bed sores are produced on the hips, and other dependent portions of tho carcass, seriously complicating the chances of quick recovery. In the cas6 of dairy cows the udder will frequently show the same lesions as the mouth and feet ; on rare occa sions other regions of the body surface are also attacked, such, for instance, as that part of the hide located above the back part of the udder and below the tail head which normally Is thin ner and more delicate there than In other regions On still more rare occasirns the In ternal organs are attacked even before there are any outward manifestations. Those are the cases which may die of paralysis of the heart or by suffoca tion from swellings about the breath ing organs. Whilst this disease is essentially a malady peculiar to cattle, it is, by no means, confined to them ; hogs, sheep, goats, horses, cats, dogs and poultry may contract it, nor can it be said that the human species enjoys any reliable immunity to it. Although the actual mdrtallty is low, perhaps not over two or three per cent, it nevertheless is capable of causing unlimited and prodigious losses should it develop, to any considerable extent, and gain a foot hold in this country. The subjects of it usually accomplish a slow recovery with a loss of bloom and capacity to thrive that are not regained before the expense of main tenance has exceeded the value of the animal In a large percentage of the cases. Dairy cows are likely not to regain the normal flow of milk for a year or more, or, at least? until fresh again, but those that are in calf, when taken, are very liable to abort and, in that case the freshening process may be arrested for a much longer period than normally would be expected under conditions of health. Ttppf putMp, miiHt1 ilIko nass throuch a. long process of retarded recovery before they can be prepared for market, thus rendering it doubtful whether or not it were better deliberately to destroy , them In the beginning, and be done with it, so far as any profit may be concerned. j In most contagious and infectious sickness of men or animals one attack will furnish immunity to a second for a more or less considerable period of time but In tills no such protection can be depended upon and hence no assurance that those first sick in a herd may not be sick again by the ftime the last ones are over it and so on indefinitely, From such a clinical history It Is Practically all the candidates at the recent election have filed their state ment of expenses with the board of elections as required by law. , The different statements show that all the candidates spent their money in about the same way, assessment to committee, livery hire, board and lodging, advertisements and printing miking up almost the entire amount of the expenses of each candidate.

All up and down the main business streets the bright lighted shop win dows reflect the Christmas spirit. "Peace in America Good Will to Hfnn I) This will be the title of the moving picture reel which Schaap, the Keith Camera Man, expects to make of nillsboro. I Everyone on our streets will see themselves as others see them, for the camera man will catch our people in their every day characteristic poses. Schaap comes to our city with the highest credentials. If taken, when completed, the pictures will be exhib ited locally three days and then go to the adjacent cities and towns. The reel can be successfully made with the cooperation of twenty merchants de clared Schaap Wednesday. The school children, teachers, police and fire department, mayor and city officials and all other essentials of a successful reel of motion pictures will be shown. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Miller and son were the guests Sunday of Mrs. Mil ler's parents, Mi, and Mrs. Nelson Barrere; Sr., of New Market. then, easy to see why the govern ment and state authorities are making such f rantto efforts to stamp it out before It acquires such momentum as to en danger tho entire live stock industry of this nation. All stockmen should carefully enlist themselves in atd of the measures adopted no matter how hard the re quirements may be, for It appears to be a most serious situation. Trying to Oust Him as School Superintendent Dis missed Saturday ELIGIBILITY NOT DECIDED Judge Molds Suit Can Be Brought Only By Prosecuting Attor ney or Attorney General Other Court News. Judge Newby dismissed the suit of J. A. B. Srofe against W. H. Vance on Saturday. This suit asked that Vance be ousted as county superin tendent of the schools of Highland county. It was decided upon a de murrer to the petition on the grounds that the plaintiff was not a proper party to bring the suit. The question of Trof. Vance's eligibility to hold the office was not passed upon. Judge Newby held that the only persons who could bring suit question ing the right of Prof. Vance to hold the office were the attorney general of the state oi the prosecuting attorney of the county. As a citizen of the county he said that lie deplored that there should be any question of the eligibility of Prof. Vance to hold the office and strongly urged that the proper official bring the action so that the question could be determined on its merits ; that this should be done in fairness to Prof. Vance and for the welfare of the schools ; that If Prof. Vance was eligible to hold the office the cloud should be removed from his title and that If he was not he should be removed from the office. The reasons advanceJ by Judge Newby for sustaining the demurrer and dismissing the suit were in brief as follows : That the county superintendent of schools was what is known legally as a public officer. He defined a public of ficer as one to whom some of the sov ereign powers of the state had been delegated, his duties being defined by statute. The duties of the county superintendent are defined by statute, the county board of education having no control over him after his election. The right of a public officer to hold office can only be questioned by the attorney general or prosecuting at. torney. Therefore, he dismissed the suit. Prosecuting Attorney McBrlde has not stated whether or not he intend ed to bring a suit to settle the right of Prof. Vance to hold the office. He recently stated that he would take no action until he received an opinion from the attorney general. TWO JIOKK DIVOKOE CASKS. Two new cases, both for divorce, were filed In the Common Fleas Court during the .past week. Elizabeth E. Warlamont asks for a divorce from James W. Warlamount on the ground of wilful absence for more than three years. The parties were married June 1, 1889, in Salem township and have no children. Lee Tarlton Hunter wants a dl. vorce from Terry Hunter. They were married at Washington O. H., on Oct 10, 1913, and have no children. The plaintiff says that the defendant has I been guilty of gross neglect of duty in ' ' " "l"?, er " the common necessaries of life. She also accuses him of extreme cruelty, stating that he was insanely jealous and threatened to kill her If she spoke to other men and often threatened to strlkeher: that last Julv she wu, very sick and he showed her but little attention that-. rinrlnrr Mia wlntor .nt. hnn.mr.nri .nirBri she often went hungry and suffered from cold because he failed to furnish her food and clothing. NOT QUILTV OF nOKSK STEALING. Leslie Williams, charged with horse stealing, was tried Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict of not quilty. Williams was one of the young colored boys, who were accused of taking a horse from the pasture of Jesse Spence, near New Petersburg, last summer. PI.EAES OUILTY.

Here During January, Rev. Faulconer Having Been Secured as Evangelist CHURCHES HAVE JOINED In Movement and Large Taber nacle Will be Erected Por Meetings and Great Revival Expected. A Union Revival will be held in Hillsboro during January. Rev H. N. Faulconer, of Philadelphia, for merly pastor of the Hillsboro Presby terian church will be the evangelist. The meeting will be held in a Taber nacle and the work of constructing it will be started soon. While the question of holding a Union Revival here this winter lias been under consideration by the differ ent churches for several months defi nite action was not taken until last Sunday afternoon, when a meeting of the paties and officers of the different Protestant churches was held at the Baptist church. Rev. Slutz was chair mm of the meeting and Rev. Emerick, secretary. Rev. Faulconer will have to assist htm, a tine singer to lead the music A large choir and orchestra will be organized and the music will be a feature of the meetings. Every effort will be made by the churclies to have a real revival of religion during these meetings and it is hoped and believed that great good will come from them. At the meeting Sunday the following committee to arrange for the location and the construction of the Tabernacle was ap pointed : C. F. Hugglns, Noah Roads, Charles Whlsler, C. N. Winkle, Daniel Morgan and Charles Duffey. Meetings will be held tacli Sunday afternoon of the pastors and contro 1 Ing bodies of the different churches until the meetings open. The meeting next Sunday afternoon will be at the M eihodlst church. At these meetings all details of the services will be ar ranged ana plans made to insure their success. A finance committee will be appoint ed by the pastors. This committee will secure signers to a fund guaran teeing the construction of the taber nacle, although there is no doubt but that the collections at the meetings will defray the cost of its construction, pay all running expenses and the salary of the evangelist and singer. Rev. Faulconer needs no recommen dation to the people of Hillsboro and Highland county. All who heard him while he was pastor of the Presbyterian church know of his eloquence, of his sincerity and of his power to awaken people to the desire for higher and better things. Since leaving Hillsboro he has engaged almost exclusively in evangelistic work and his success has been wonderful. Band May Go To Washington. The Hillsboro Band has made appli cation to T. P. Riddle, of Lima, asking to be taken as one of the binds on the Boys and Girls Corn Special Trip to Washington City. It is understood that Mr. Riddle Is favorably impressed by the many flattering recommenda tions sent him concerning the Bana and that the boys have an excellent chance of going on the trip. On all the trips the Hillsboro Band has taken, the people have been un- ri""."".wu,B us.ca. ao. icy ana uieconauct or the uu'' ouwiimuiiu. a, . uii ' cimpraent at Chattanooga, Tenn, the Hlhsboro Band was conceded by all to be the best musical organization that took part In the program and there was a constant demand for Its services. It is an organization of which the people of Hillsboro are proud and everyone here- will be hoping that they will get to take the trip. If Mr. Rid- die decides to take the Hillsboro Band on the Washington trip, we prophesy that he will be pleased with his selec-' tlon and the corn boys and girls de lighted and that Mr. Riddle will be as glad thereafter to give his endorse ment and highly recommend the nillsboro Band as were the high offi cials of the G. A. R. to recommend it to him. New Market Baptist Church. Dr, J. n. Holllngsworth will preach the annual Thanksgiving sermon at New Market next Sunday morning.

The postotllce at New Petersburg was robbed Saturday night. The thieves secured $45 worth of stamps. Frank Pearce is postmaster and, the office Is in ills store. The robbery was discovered by a brother of Pearce on Sunday morning when he went to the store, me omcers nere ana at ureen field were at once notified but no trace of the robbers has been found. Tne thieves had gained entrance to the building through a window at the rear. This admitted them to a back room. .They cut a hole through the door leading from this room to ttie room used for the postoffioe so they could unlock it. From the manner In which an entrance was effected Mr Pearce thinks the work was done by local people. Besides the stamps the robbers also laid in a supply of tobacco from the store.

To Pay $20,000 Outstanding Indebtedness of Town Called by Council TQ gg HELD DECEAIBER 15 Same Day as Election on Street Light OrdinanceAttempt to Make Temporary Light Contract Fails At the special meeting of Council Thursday night a special election was called for Tuesday, Dec. 15, to pass on the question of issuing $20,000 of bonds. These bonds are to cover the outstanding indebtedness of the town. This indebtedness consists of certifi cates of Indebtedness issued by the town to cover running expenses and taken up by tne Slntcing Fund Trusteesand 87,000 due the H llsboro Light and Fuel Co. on Uie old con tract,. This indebtedness Is drawing six per cent, interest. It is believed by Council that the bonds can be sold to bear not to exceed five per cent. In terest. This election will be held on tt e same day as the election un the initia tive petitions for an ordinance for street llgtits. The two propositions should not be contused. The 420,000 whlcn the town owes does not mean that it owes that much on the street lights. The street lighting contract had no more to do witu tins indebted nest than any of the other expenses of the town auring the last three years. It in simply that lor the last tnree years the revenues of the town hae been about $0,500 less each year tban the expenditures : that since the Smith One Per Cent. Law went into effect the town lias been running be hluU that much each ear. At the meeting Thursday n'gtit Council also pissed a resolution in structing the Ligtit Committee to confer with the Hillsboro Light & Fuel Co. and at.empt to make a tem porary contract for street lights Tt.e 'committee was authorized to exp-nd ! not to exceed $300 a ruontti for a. is purpose and hid puwer to make at y contract it considered reasonable. Ttie Ll'ht Committee exiled un vi r beeclier, manager of the Light Com pany, Friday afternoon. According to Mr Meneley, chairman ot the corn mlttee, an oiler was made to pay lue Light Co. $300 a month for light, tl fi lights to be on until eleven o'clock at I night and turned on cne iuur in the nuniing and no lights on uijonlUi t night This contract was to be for a month at a time. Mr. Bcecher e fuel to make such a contract Mr Meneley then asked how much lii.t the company would furnish the twn on a monthly contract for f :?t k a month and Mr. Beeclier replied on y so much as could be purchased at rate of ten cents a kilowatt, which Is tie regular rate to all private consumers. Mr. Meneley says that the only condi tion on which Mr. Beeclier ague I to furnish light to the village temporar ily for less than ten cents a kilowa1 1 was upon the promise that at the ex piration of some set time Council would agree to make a ten year con tract with the Light Co In which the town was to piy for street lights not less than $5,100 a year. Such a con tract Mr Meneley says can not be considered as with the o d arc lamps this would only mean ligtit about two or three hours each night; Il would, therefore, seem that there Is no temporary so ution of the street light question. U. B. Church. Preaching next Sunday at the regu lar hours by the pastor. The first quarterly communion for this confer ence year will be held at the morning service.
