Chicago, November 4.?The Chicago Union Stocks Yards, the lajgest | 1 ^ cattle market in the world, which j c . ' has been in continuous business since t ISG 1SG.1. tonight was ordered closed for If several days because of the preva- ; ng lence of the hoof and mouth disease t among cattle. 1 The stock yards, it was oflk-ia'lv i ^ stated, probably will remain closed 1 ten days. The order will go into ef- . . ' feet at the close of business Xovem- < ber G, and continue until the open- t ing of business November 16. This i GS ' makes the cessation of business at t the yards cover nine days, including 1 ol Sundays. 1 The decision to close was ieached \ ig. after a prolonged conference of the t 2members of the State board of live i ' stock commissioners with all the < leading stock dealers and packers i Y\& ... ., ? and after consultation wun governor 1 Dunne. j 121 In ten days it is planned to rid the i stock yards of contagion. The pro' cess of elimination will include the i destruction of infected cattle, the dis- j r, ' infection of cattle pens and the kill- l rk ' ing of rats. The immediate effect of ? the suspension order will be to stop < shipments of cattle, sheep and hogs ? to the Chicago market, which \ S amounts to almost 100,000 head t Z daiI>-- < The finding today that 6ix hundred j c cattle here had been affected and the i , belief that the contagion had spread j 6Q to various parts of the yards made 1 immediate action necessary. 5 "There is only one way to eradi- j cate this contagion and to prevent c 6y its spread and becoming possibly a i peril to cattle raisers throughout the c 0 country," said Dr. R. A. Ramsey, a en chief of field inspection of.the bu>rs reau of animal inquiry, who arrived or from Washington Sunday. "The a remedy is to close up the stock yards f and give them a thorough cleaning. We have acted merely in an advisory < ity capacity as to the closing up of the yards." All cattle-carryipg railroads were a sr- notified not to accept live stock fo* s 'e- the Chicago market. The closing s ag cuts off at once the chief market for t be twenty-two cattle-raising States. It is the first time business ever ( 10- was suspended at the stock yards. It a o- was said that while the closing down a d- is tremendous in its consequences to t the industry, it will not entail any f great narasnips. 11, it- it was said that stock instead of c being sent to Chicago for slaughter j bt will be sent to Kansas City, Omaha, ^ da St. Joseph, Sioux City and other t jrs points. j es f. E. White, a director in Armour a Jl- & Co., said he believed neither the jds meat industry nor meat prices would j be affected by the brief suspension j he of the Chicago end of th? business. c er ? m is- Sowing til? West in Wheat. ^ in t Just at this time when the farm" it T or ?-rs are ruminating over whether it i v_ is to be more wheat or the same c thing in cotton, it may be interesting to know what the farmers out west _ are doing. They are preparing for 0_ the largest wheat sowing in the hisict torv of the United States. The harad vest last season covered 35,387,000 n re acres, and that was 9 per cent, larg- ^ jie er than the largest previous acreage in Brain The increases in acres de- ^ I voted to wheat this season cannot be ? n al estimated, but it will be enormous, Jr ranging in the wheat belt from 5 to ho' 25 per cent. The western farmers et are taking advantage of the halting j he situation of the farmers in the cot- f th ton country and are going ahead with a larger seeding than ever, taking 0j chances on a continuation of good on prices and a prolonged war. All of ^ ve which should be encouragement for ;s_ the Southern farmers to go in more t e_ heavily on wheat, corn, cattle and lb. hogs.?Charlotte Observer.

'ondenined Man Ha-sn't Spoken in S Months. Greenville, Nov, 4.?That recoglized physicians have adjudged as rrazy T. I". Vaughn, former superinendent of the Odd Fellows' orphanige at Greenville, now in the State enitentiarv hospital awaiting execuion for criminal assault upon one of lis charges, is vouchsafed in a rejort submitted by Drs. Thomas Brocknian and D. B. Jackson tc ludge of Probate John T. Bram'ett if this city, before whom these pro eedings were instituted. Drs. Brock nan and Jackson forwarded their ;o Judge Bramlett last week. That v'aughn was believed to be insane Decame generally known several .veeks ago. when Sheriff Rector re:urned from a visit to Columbia and nade it known that the self-confess;d criminal was laboring under the mpression that he was infested with nsects and was continually catching ind disposing of imaginary objects with an habitual thump. Assistant Attorney Dominick has idvised Superintendent Strait of the isylum that jury of 12 men would 3e required to pass upon Vaughn's sanity and an order from the circuit sourt would be required to legalize such a transfer. Papers for commitment of Vaughn :o the asylum were in possession oi he attorney general's office. These stated that Vaughn had not spoken n eight months' time and he is unible to accomplish the simplest acts. 3is condition is described as the remit of loss of social position, shock ind grief, and his "dementia" is ontinued and progressive. "Pitiable" s the word used by the physicians to lescribe his present state, physical ind mental. Doctors' Hej>ort. The report on Vaughn's condition is received by Judge Bramlett is as ollows: Greer, S. C., 3-9 1914. 'Judge John T. Bramlett, Greenville, S. C. "Dear Judge: I enclose report of in examination of T. U. Vaughn everal day6 ago, and had planned to end this earlier, but have been too iusv to do it. "Dr. Jackson and myself went to Columbia several days ago and made . thorough examination of this man, ind we find him to be in a most piiable condition. We have styled his nrm of insanitv as dementia: This s a derangement of the ntfnd that omes from grief, shock, humiliation, oss of social position and the like. Ve find that Vaughn has not spoken o anybody in eight months' time. Je is in the penitentiary hospital, ;nd is well cared for, but we consider lis condition hopeless, whether he s put in the asylum or turned loose. have never known of just such a ase to come back. "I certainly feel that if any of lis prosecutors could see hi-m in this roubled condition of his mind, they vould be just as anxious to get him >ut as they were to put him in. "Yours very truly, -THOMAS BROCKMAN, M. D." The Spinster Scored. Somehow or other, whenever a (lakes a remark to a spinster about ier being an "old maid" she manges to get even with him. In a cerain county where the Quakers were lumerous the entire body on one ccasion gathered together for one f their periodical meetings. After he exercises of the morning a public uncheon was held, at which all the riends attended. The conversation urned to matrimony. "Hannah," said an unmannerly outhful member of the society, peaking across the crowded table to rim, elderly maiden lady, "wilt thou ell me why thou has never maried?" "Certainly, friend William," reponded Hannah, in a voice audible wer the room. '"Tis because I am tot so easily pleased as thy wife ;as." Fearful Mortality. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, of the 2ity Temple, London, says the Philalelphia Ledger, once had a collection o the announcement of which he idded with deep pathos: "Widows tnd orphans will not be expected to ;ontribute." A few Sundays later there was anither collection for the same object. "This time," said the preacher, 'widows and orphans will not be eximpt; for no battle ever made so nany widows and orphans as the anlouncement made on the previous Sunday." All Changed. "We don't have honest elections 111 lis town like we used to." said .Mr. Srastus Pinkley. "Like you used to!" "Yassah. It used to be dat when ley promised you $2 for yeh vote ou'd git it.
