The audience, with down cast eyes and bowed head re­ mained in silence for a few moments and slowly the crowd began to dis­ perse. Ordinances for ' their second read­ ing were next brought up. The D, S. & U« S. W. was then read but Iliff in behalf of Mr. Frey entered a protest,'but the cldrk waa instructed to read ahead. The ordinance for licensing”of bill .posters, etc, was read for the third time and passed. - K ex t came the allowing of hills and payment of the salaries of the village officers. The fun came right ‘here, for the old saying/'mad as a wet hen” warBnrely exemplified. The allowing ofa hill for crushed rock which was used in front of Jacob Lott's residence created considerable comment on tbe grounds" IHaF The ebuimiao ofotbe street, con/thittee did not order it, and consequently the council had no right to pay for it, Mr. Iliff at this point arose and displayed considerable of his eloquence by the statement that three of the four street 'committee favored it and he didn't give a damn whether the chairman (Bean) signed it or not, A heated discussion ensued envolving Bean, Iliff anil Lott, the former members were soon subdued by the -Mayor, • hut tho latter was warned that unless order was obeyed u fine'wmild be'placed against him. Mayor Wolford nppOiuted a com­ mittee consisting of J . H .' Andrew aud George Irvine to audit the treas­ urers, books. A recess was then Itikwi uu(il Thursday evening. ’ .'

Iliff moved that the D. 8 : & V. ordinance bo placed oti the third reading. Clerk MoCorkle then read same and tlie document was passed Without a dissenting vote, .several amendment were prepared and added to the ordinance, Thfe Frey ordinance was again ta­ ken up and giver, a th ird ’ readJig; same amendments were made and the ordinance waft passed by an unaui mous Vote, Council then adjourned, closing one of the most'exciting ses­ sions held for years. * 'NOTES, An inquest was held Tuesday morn­ ing atSquire Bradford’s office by Frey Jackson,Iliff and Lott, but the Squire informed them that according to foe testimony, death to the Frey ordinance wnsj dhe. to strangulation, fttid the Only hopes now was to begin over with a new ordinance,, of the dry goods quality* Nothing was said dLring foe even­ ing about drafting a set o f resolutions but W« presume copies will be sent to the friends of the deceased.

We know' a man in this town who is very good now, • and that is com­ mendable,.' Such conduct is always to be encouraged; and smiled upon. But foe men who were boys when he- was, say that the- reason he got good was because he was a. “ piker,'V which means that ho would help drink ahd cat- where he had not paid, so they kicked him out. After that.he went right straight,and became a-good man. -While he is .to btj congratulated, they augh at him, Therefore it is a pretty good plan not to begin being tough; ‘ * 0 *—*’. • A tombstone man was trying to sell a widow a tombstone for her deceased lusbtind.

A little incident took place one evening last week that in all proba­ bility if pushed to some extent might cause ftome trouble. I t has been thought, especially amo&g civilized people, that foe day for prize fights,; bull fights and cock fights was over, but it seems that such . is not the caseaS a cock fight took place o n # farm east of town a few evenings ago* Of course there are some people that are always ready to attend such -af­ fairs but when the list of attendants were named over we were really Sur­ prised to hear of some of our best .boys being, there. The ‘“parents ,of eOm# children, had better begin a t home and not worry so much about their neighbors, Traveling in tbe southern states ia not like that of the northern states. One feature is, on some roada you can­ not buy a round trip ticket and you pay straight three cents per mile Whether it amounts to an even or odd amount. •An amusing incident oc­ curred while traveling on one of foe branch roads in the sfAte of Mississippi.

Noi what was it? Bo tell! Oil, tlie two electric roads had a head end ' collision last night and a number wc?e injured. Such was the conversation as was gathered by a -Herald representative Tuesday morning, after the catas­ trophe of tlie previous evening. The party went pk_. to state farther, that several Cedarvillians were in the col­ lision, and we became foe more alarmed. - I t seems as though it was the_trial trip, over the F rey road and indeed a terrible accident to record for the first run. In the body were -the councilman, Iliff, Bean, Lott, Shroades and .Irvine; along with foe officers of the company: Pres, Frey, Vice Pres, Keyes, See. and Tre&s, Jacksonand chief.promulgator.Bar­ ber. The car was .In charge of mot- ermnn Walter Procter, (who they ex­ pected to see them safely through,/ and Boone Hinds was riding on the rear, with his wiunie can trying to dispose of hot Winnie sandwiches.' Both. Procter and Hinds, sustained fractures font time will soon heal, If cot s light-application of “ Springfield dust” will, From all reports only Bean and. Irvine escaped injuries, foe remaining members of foe crowd seemed to have suffered dissapoint ment, broken hearts, loss of tears, sleep and. encouragement. Tabsrculosis of Cattle. - As'announced last Fall, the .Ohio Experiment Station is prepared to ap*, ply the tuberculin test to cattle sus­ pected of being effected with tubercu­ losis, foe teat being made without .cost to the owner of the cattle, except the hoard o f the Station’s agent during, the two days required to make the test, aud his transportation to and from the nearest railway statum. tluder this offer the Station has thus far tested 13 herds, containing 279 cattle, with the result that six herds were found to b£ entirely free from tuberculosis, whi.e in foe remaining herds there were 18 cases of positive reaction to the tuberculin test. Five of these 18 cattle were immediately tilled by their owners and examined iy foe Station Veterinarian, foe re­ sults of the autopsy confirming the accuracy o f the tuberculin diagnosis in every instance. In other cadesThe Owners have been advised to fatten the animals, itt.foe hope that the dw ease would prove not to ImVe become sufficiently generalized to affect the meat, I t will be observed that nearly half tho herds examined proved to be cn tlrely free from disease. One of these lerds belonged to a children's hbme, and others were dairy herds In which Occasional coughing or other tempor­ ary disposition had caused some anxi ety. In four other cases only one of two animals were found affected, and foe owners were enabled* by foe test to Stonce separate eucb animals froffi the herd, disinfect their stalls, and proba­ bly prevent further spread of the di# ease,"' No doubt many persons hesitate to Subject their herds to this test for fear of exciting public suspicion; bu t it if no part of foe Station’s duty or inten­ tion to advertise the presence of foil disease in any particular herd, 18 XSR ‘•nrBKRCtT.lJC XBSX liUltiUDUft? Others ate . probably deterred through fear of foe test Itself produc­ ing an injurious eflbot on tlie tested cattle; foil oafU»Wpoint foe evidence is conolUslyeAkat no iuhb effect toBnfoi ■ . 1 ; " j this test. A t foe Ohio Station eight cattle were subjected td the tuberculin; teat during tbe period from June,1897. to April,1899,the teem being repeated a t intervals of a month during foe lat ter part of this -period. The catte had all reacted to the tuhercnlin test a t the beginning of tbe experiment, hut as ft progressed the reactions, became more and more -irregular and finally ceased altogether! notwithstanding' a considerable increserin the dose of tu­ berculin. Some of these cattle were under three years old, others were cows and a bull of various ages, The young cattle kept fat anrd grew rapidly, the- older ones constantly, increased in weight, te d when .asd-wken -slaught­ ered the evidence preseated indicated that if foe" "tuberculin injections had had any effect upon the health of the animaiB it line! been beneficial rather than otherwise. AH the cattle a t this Station are now tested regularly every six months, and animals which' have been subjected to "these test? for four years are still in . the beat .of health. Altogether, this Station has -mtee many hundreds of tuberculin injec­ tions, with never a suspicion o f apy injurious effect,” On • the othei *,qd we have -abundant eficouragemcm ') believe that we are building up a herd of healthy cattle, a large proportion of which are the offspring of tuberculous parents.. . - A t the Maine fitatton IQ cattle re­ ceived tuberculin injections-at infer vais of a few .days to. # few months from 1895 to 1897,- as many as 24 for jections being given in some' cases; The results were similar .to those reached at the Ohio Station. At tho New Jersey Station a Jherd of tuberculous cattle was- kept under observation for six years, the animals receiving from 8 to 19 injections each during that period, but no evidence waa found to justify the assertion that foe general health, even of non-tubqr- cplous cattle, - bad. bee affected, either for better or for worse, by foe treatment, Frof. H. W. Conn, bf the Btorrs Experiment Station of Connecticut, spent n year, in Europe,' making # special study of cattle tuberculosis and the tuberculosis and the tuber­ culin te s t,. He reports that those who have had the' largest experience in foe use of this tost say that, there is absolutely no reason for believing that It is followed by any injurious results:. The Station's object in offering its services in this work is to assist farm­ ers, breeders and dairymen in freeing their hoards from a disease which, if permitted to continue unchecked, will inevitably cause great -financial loss, as well "as endanger foe lives of those who may consume the milk produced.
