While we havo no cure for this disease, we have a sure preventive in hog cholera serum, prepared according to the method originated by Doctors I)orsey and Nlles of the U. 8.

As pre viously stated, this nerum ylll pro tect hogs from cholera, but will uot cure those that have already con-i traded the . disease. As w? cannot supply mor/> serum than needed by tjhe veterinarians of this Division in thoir work thruout the State, it will be useless for veterinarians or others to apply for serum. M.

Jetmore, Kan Rudolph Myera, the man who it* building a railroad west from this city all by himself, has purchased moro right of way .Hi.i iH pushing his Mt& de wwutwunl Myers" objective is Garden City, 64 miles southwest of Jetmore. Al ready he ban graded more than four miles of the roadbed, moat of which required heavy filling; He expects to build at leant 10 miles the coming year, most of the right of way being ovei; comparatively love allnd. MyerH never haw taken anybody into hie confidence since he began work on his grade. He bait used only hie own money and his own labor, but he appears to have all the money he need*. He never has employed any help, doing alt the grading himself with a four .mule team and a wheeled scraper. Nat urally, the people hereabout are dying with curiosity, but Myers nev er haa given them the slightest Idea of his plans. All he haa ever said is that he Is grading a railroad to Garden City. This town lu on a branch of the Santa Fe running from Lamed. The people of the town have hoped for years that the branch would be ex tended along the main line connec tion at Garden City, and for that reason they have always encourag ed Myers, but he has always refus ed any financial aid. Whether he hopes to build the road himself, or whether he Intends to sell right of way, he has never told. Never theless, If the Santa Fe ever builds from Jetmore to Garden City, My ers' right of way 1? there, holding the keye to the situation. Myers Is fifty years old, a Kan Ban born. H6 came to Jetmore 4 years ago, and about three years ago began acquiring the right - of way for his road, his first purchase being thirty acres, for Which he paid J|30 an acre. There was one hill on this right of way, 50 feet in height, gthru which Myers . has cut, using the earth excavated to make a fill over ""a ravine ?ome 40 feet deep. For the remainder of the distance there are few hlljs or ravines and Myers expects to grade at least ten miles a year. Printing of the Better Kind at The Chronicle Job Shop. "HtouttWttU" idduun. "Stonewall" Jackhoii was burn iu W??t Virglula. He ,wi? one uf our greatest general* of the war be ' twe?n the States. Some people nay | that.' If be had lived tbe Confedera | c y would have beaten. He wow ev~ I ery real battle he ever fought, ?Wtouewal!" Jack won wkm noble, kind und true. He was an older In the 1'resbyterhin church. He and Lee were good friends. I^ee said i Unit fur tbe Hake of tbe confedera cy u would have betfn better ?fer him to have been killed than Jack son. lie waa loyed by every one' who knew him. In the battle uf Mu ' iiUHHUb he stood up before all the 1 guns and cannun ballB and beheld ; the Federal rank. den. Harnard liee, of Suuth Carullna, said, "Look al Jackson (standing like a stone I wall." He was ever afterwards ; called "Stunewall" Jacksun. I It is Httld that when Jacksun was nick that his horse would stick his head in his window and when Jack Hon died he laid down and died too. One time during the war between the States eome men sent Jacknon and bin men several barrel* pi whl? key. When Jackson heard about It, he nent neven or .eight men and knocked the bottoms uut uf them. "Stonewall" Jackson waa tbe most 'ambit Ioub man In tbe'Southei?rCon federacy. Every time there waii going to be a battle Jackson would pray a 16ng time. One time his ser vant naid, "It's gwlne ter be a great fight tormorrow," Somebody anked him how did he know. He naid, "Because I heard Marse Tom praytn' all las' night." lir three weeks Jackson fought 4 battles and captured 4,000 prison ers and several millions dollars of stores, fcje never allowed his sol diers to swear and he often had prayer-meeting In the camp. As "Stonewall" Jacksun and a party uf ufflcers were returning frum the. battlefield they were mis taken fur Federal soldiers and Jacksop was wounded by his own men. He ' died a few days after wards. It Is doubtful if America ever had a purer man than "Stone wall" Jackson. His last words were, "Let us cross over the river, and rest lender the shade of the trees."
