DEADLY WATER.
CRITICAL CONDITION OF SBVBRAL
SCHOOL CHILDREN.
4 HORRIBLE STORY.
Wholesale Poisoning at an Indiana
Country School—Two Children
Dead and Several Seriously
Slck—Shocklng Story From
Louisville.
Frankfort, Ind., Nov. 26. —Informs-
tii in has been brought to County Super
intendent Lvddy that one of the pnblio
schools in Forest township, in the east
ern part of this (Clinton) county, had
been closed by the wholesale poisoning
of the pupils and also the teacher. An
investigation proves that the teachei
ami fifteen of his pupils are in a critical
condition, while two ot them are dead.
The school is located in the country,
and a few weeks ago the township
trustee caused a well to be driyen on
the premises, from which the schoolgot
their supply of water.
For the past tbrse weeks the teacher,
Joseph G>>ar, has noticed the attend
ance growing gradually less, all caused
by sickness. One week ago he himself
was taken ill and compelled to close the
school. It was found upon investiga
te :i that all the pupils who had regu
larly drank of the water from the well
ware sick, while a few pupils who lived
near the school and went home for
in- sis were not affected.
The symptoms developed are similar
to those of typhoid fever. Thursday a
child of Robert Dillen, who had been
afflicted for several days, grew rapidly
worse, and died Friday. Saturday
another one of the pupils, a 10-year-old
daughter of James Burgett, became
suddenly worse, and died Sunday. In
vestigation shows that fifteen other
pupils and the teacher are decidedly'
worse, and several more deaths are ex
pected by the doctors. The doctors say
it is a clear casa of water poisoning. An
incomplete analysis of the water has
b.-en made, which confirms their theory.
Tnev s»v that the water possesses some
peculiar chemical property which, in its

MISS KELLY’S SUIT.
The girls in the envelope factory have
just finished luncheon when the fore
man comes in and annonnees that owing
to a break in the machinery work will
be suspended for the rest of the day.
Though this will make some difference
in the amount of their bills at the end of
the week, the girls are not sorry for this
half holiday. It gives them an oppor
tunity to do many things. There is Mian
Maggie Kelly, for instance.
Thin young lady had long been wait
ing for a chance to visit that locality in
definitely described as “up town” in
order to inspect the various styles of
gowns, wraps and hats offered there for
sale. She is about to purchase a new
suit and proposes to bare it in the latest
style. She can get a fairly correct idea
of this by visiting the various establish
ments where costumes are displayed.
After the foreman has made the an
nouncement that the girls will have that
afternoon to themselves, Miss Kelly hur
riedly fixes herself np. Then she says to
one of the girls:
“Hey, Marne! Come np town with me,
. will yer?" The yonng lady addressed
in on the water pipes, generates the | assents, and so they start,
u. Samples of the water have been tv*,, snPT1 ^ nrp , ttv intl „
si irvd, and will be subjected to a crit
ical analysis, in order to unravel the
ii. aiily mystery. Later information is
t.i the effect that the teacher is rapidly
gmwing worse. What makes the case
nu.re dangerous is the apparent fact
t s who have drank tho water are
afflicted with blood poisoning.
Miorking Story of Harder.
l.orsviLLE, Ky., Nov. 26.—The ex
termination of an entire family save
o r nienibci by poison is a case that has
L i-n discovered here. One year ago
T .ms Austin, his wife and five chil-
dren lived at 100 Eleventh street. One
by one the children died until one re
mained. The father and remaining
child were reported dying. In each
case the symptoms have been exactly
the same. A slight fever, accompanied
by vomiting and severe pains in the
stomach, was .the first indication. Then
tli. patient grew rapidly wor.-e, and in
fi day or two death would ensue. In
earn case the regular physician gave
typhoid fever as the rann‘ of death.
T-arli child which nad died had been

im .mice company immediately after

im.l well. The insurance policies wer*
all made out in her name. She refuses
to talk.
They spend pretty innsh all the after
noon visiting the big dry goods stores
and inspecting the costumes worn by
the women out shopping. Maggie scans
the latter closely, and is much struck by
the beanty of several “swagger” cos-
tnines worn by yonng ladies about her
size and build. Why could not she have
one?
In the next establishment visited is a
fine display of these pleasing innovations
in woman’s attire. Miss Kelly inspects
them all with deliberation. The more
she does, the more infatuated does she
become with the swagger costume.
She inquires the prices, and her heart
sinks as she finds they are beyond the
amount of her capital. With her face
bearing a sad, hopeless expression, she
goes home. Miss Maggie does not sleep
well that night. Her dreams are dis
turbed by visions of ehirt Uisoins, four-
in-hand ties r.nd cute lit *le vests. In the
morning she awakes i. rtusked.
Her longing to possess a swagger suit
has grown during t it i.'giit. She tries
to overcome this by settling her miud on
other objects, but fails utterly. Only a
swagger suit will appease that wild long
ing. She must—She will have it within
a week, but how?
Presently au idea strikes her. The
cloud clears from lie - face. L’r spirits

| “What will it cost?” she asks.
I “Five cents for each letter, lady.
I you want them?”
“Yes,” she replies.
“M. M. K." are the initials she tells
him. These, she tells herself, will in
form everybody that the article belongs
to “Miss Maggie Kelly.”
While the initials are being placed on
the shirt tab Miss Kelly selects a tie, for
which she pays twenty-five cents. When
these purchases have been made, she
goes home. Going into the front room
by herself, she fits, cats~knd sews, and
sews, cuts and tits until far into the
morning. Not until then is she certain
that all will look right on the morrow.
Panday comes. Waiting nntil the
afternoon, onr heroine attires herself.
The costume is perfect. She shows it to
her mother. Her father is out at the
time. The old lady is somewhat startled
at first, ami says so. The daughter as
sures her that “they” are wearing them
“up town,” which somewhat calms the
old lady's fears as to the absolute, pro
priety of such a costume. In fact, she
is not altogether satisfied, and warns her
daughter to “look ont” when she goes
upon the street; “and moind, Maggie,"
she says, in about the same tone she
would employ if the girl was going on a
long journey, “don’t let yer father see
yer."
With these words ringing in her ears
Maggie goes ont. As she walks down
the hill that Snnday afternoon she creates
a veritable sensation. The world seems
very bright to her. Even when a small
boy, too yonng to possess a senes of the
truly' beautiful, says, “Git onto it, fel-
luz,” the yonng woman pays no atten
tion, but continues right along, proud in
the consciousness of her beanty and of
being the wearer of a suit in the very
latest fashion. Hasn't she the stiffly
starched shirt front, with its tab and
M. M. K.” in bright red letters? And
don’t her piccadilly collar and tie look
just too sweet for anything? What more
can she desire?
While Miss Maggie has been dressing
her father has been “ont” with some
friends. He has left these and started
for home, somewhat foggy in mind. He
comes np the street as Miss Kelly goes
down. As an inevitable result they meet.
The old man spies his daughter from
afar. At first he does not think it is she.
But as she comes closer he is sure of it.
He catches hold of a railing and steadies
himself until she comes up to him. Mag
gie is about to pass by as her father calls,
slowly and with great sternness:
“Mag—gie!” She stops. “Maggie,”
he continues in the same solemn tone,
“go home and take aff my shirt.”
“I ain’t got on yo-r shirt," the yeang
woman replies.
“Maggie,” says her father still more
slowly, “you’ve always bin a good gynrrl
and never told me any lies before. Don’t
begin now.”
‘Tin not beginnin iyin,” the yonng
woman replies hotly. “I ain’t got your
shirt. It’s me own shirt, see?" Then,

don’t care phwat you’ve on yure ahirt.
it’s inoine. Go home an’ take it aff, or,
be the powers, I’ll break ev’ry bone in
ynre body!”
- From the manner in which this is said
Miss Kelly know? that her father will
carry out this threat unless she does as
he tells her. So she walks home, with lips
quivering and the tears ready to start
And when she reaches home the young
woman cries. Her mother offers her
sympathy, but Maggie is in no mood for
it. She cries nntil she falls asleep.
Sue has removed ths shirt, and when
her father comas home he confiscates it.

CONVEYING WATER.
IN THE DAIRY STABLE.
Arrangement of Floor and Watering
Tronglv at VVI.cotialii Experiment Farm.
L. H. Adams, superintendent of the
experiment farm, made the following
report on the arrangement of the stable
and methods of tying, at oue of the
Wisconsin farmers’ institutes. He said:
“We have had experience in several
methods of tying, at the station, bnt
none have given such success as the
stanchion. There are opponents to this
system of fastening cattle, bnt. all things
considered, I know of nothing to replace
the stanchions with at the present time.
The floor represented in the diagram is
the same as tho one in use at the experi
ment station farm, and has been foi
three years. In putting this floor into
onr stable we took ont a plank floor
with a 4-inch drop behind the cows; it
was unsatisfactory. Onr cows wonld
get dirty in spite of a liberal bedding.
This matter of bedding is a point that
we must spend thought upon if we wish
to ent down the expenses of dairying.
With the floor represented here there is
no absolute necessity of using bedding
for the sake of cleanliness. There has
not been a forkful of straw litter of any
kind put on that floor in three years'
time, and there is not a tag of manure
on the flank of one of the cattle.
“This floor is six feet wide, and we can
drive right in with a team and wagon
and load the manure from the gutters
on either side directly into the wagon
This floor that the animal stands upon is
about fifty-four inches wide. This water
ing trough is made of two planks, one ten
inches wide and the other twelve, spiked
together, and-the bottom of the trough
is on a level with the floor on which the
cattle stand. The trough has an incline

Two Plaus for Obtaining Water from a
Well at it Distance.
In reply to a request for information as
to convey ing water from a well located
250 iset from where the water is wanted,
Ohio Farmer illustrates the two plans
following: The first of these is to run
pipe from the bottom, of well. A, as
shown in Fig. 1, to pump, B, which ex
tends about fonr feet below the surface so
as to be below frost and give working room
for valve. The excavation beneath the
pump, in case the soil is not sufficiently
loose and porons to admit of water read
ily leaking away, is to be filled with stone
or gravel two or three feet in depth, as
shown in cut. The water referred to is
that which would escape from a leak
valve in the pump jnst below the surface,
a very important feature where frost is
troublesome. If no trouble is feared from
tins source, then make the excavation
only about fonr feet. At E is placed a
small air chamber to act as a cushion to
the water in starting and stopping, on
account of the quantity to be moved and
stopped at each strokeof the pump handle.
The working of the pump will, aside
from the length of volume and conse
quent friction, be as easy as it wonld
were it to be placed in a well directly
under it and with water standing within
five feet of the surface, i. e., when the
water is, as stated, ten feet deep in the
well at A r '-..

goes right through and is taken np with
an absorbent that is thrown between the
joists which snpport this. floor. The
solid part of the esferement is left along
in this drop. A cow in urinating will
drop the water farther forward than siio
will the solid part of the manure, so
that in cleaning out it is not difficult if
the manure is out here.
“For an absorbent v. e use horse manure,
The horse stands ove: the cows and the
manute is pushed through a hole daily
down into the basement stable where
the cows stand, and distributed along
these gutters, and it takes up the liquid
and keeps the manure of the farm all
together where it gobs cut. If, as I have
explained, the urine passes through
these slats, yon can readily seo how the
cow lies down on a dry floor.”
When questioned on the use of bedding
Mr. Adams said iie wonld prefer to have
the cows bedded where were was the
material for t, but many daily men
utilize the waste products of the farm
so closely that they do not have material
for bedding.

The second plan would be like that in
Fig. 2, and wonld operate the same as
in Fig. 1, except that a siphon is con

well, D, is lowered below that in A.
However, in this plan no air chamber is
required, and no long body of water is
moved and stopped at each stroke of the
pump handle. To make this clear to all
it may be stated that the pipe is con
ducted from the bottom of well, A, us

which is not quite as low ns that of A.
Here it forms a U, the bottom of which
is a short length of pipe, about eight or

to admit sufficient water to fill the pipe
when pumping.
To put this in operation, lay the pipe

Whether a farmer should bay the raw
materials and make his own fertilizers
by doing the mixing on his own farm
is a question that each individual farmer
onght to be able to best determine for
himself. There are considerations, how
ever, that should be taken into account
iu coming to a conclusion on the sub
ject. First, the quanti ty required should
be large enough to make it an object to
save the ascertained difference in the
cost of the materials when bought
singly, and when bought from reliable
manufacturers mixed ready for use.
Again, if the attempt is made to dis
pense in whole or in part with some
one or more of the ingredients of a com'
plete fertilizer on the score of economy,
this can only be done by snch as have
through previous experiments ascer
tained with considerable accuracy the
requirement* of particular crops on cer
tain soils. This will l»e found the most
difficult part of the business, for there
are large numbers of farmers who do
not know what their different fields re
quire. and who are not likely to spend
time and money in finding out. Hence,
in making or bnying fertilizers it will
nsually be foand best to*use snch as are
prepared for general application rather
thtin for special soils. The saving from
home mixing will depend on the prices

A Vermont correspondent tells in the

where the subsoil is clay or hard pan.
For main drains have S-inch sides

sides and 4-iuch tops. The boxes can
be of any length, and from eight to
twelve inches does very well. For
th« nnder side of the box pnt on

in the middle. Have the drain dug so
that there will be no dead water. In
laying the boxes sink the cleats down to

as the boxes will last longer in that than

These Messenger Boys were sent out to make special
delivery of Catalogues, and told to hurry. This idea so excited
them that they got all mixed up and don’t know which is
which. They want you to pick them out and put them in their
proper order, so as to show the name of a leading piano.
Here is a hint. The catalogues tell all about the famous

skilled mechanic has the latest and best machinoi * u> enable him to accomplish
the most satisfactory results. No one wishes to pitt» iw» a workman who does
not keep abreast with the improvements of the day, foi II 4 an impossibility for
him to turn out a novel and artistic job. In printing, styles are constantly chang
ing. Type faces that were popular last year, are now rarely used. Better effects
are seen by the most casual observer.
OUR TYPE MCTS ME ME NEW
In Thb Banner Job Office there is to be found the largest selection of new
and artistic type in Northeast Georgia. If you have a Poster as large as a newspa

the eye”—The Banner office is the place'to have it printed. If you have an in
vitation card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to us. Is
fact, we qave the best selection of typo for any kind of work that is printed.
