H. ‘Graves, 85 years old, who drove Lincoln and Douglas on their memorable debating tour of Illi- * nois, and the oldest veterinarian in Wisconsin, died Monday at the Odd Fellows’ Home at Green Bay. What is reported to be a rich strike of lead and zinc ore has been made ona farm four miles south of Afton, Oklahoma. Prospectors uncovered the ore at a depth of only 14 feet. This is in the Same region where oth- er veins of ore have been located. The newspaper Wort announces officially that Germany thus far has paid Luxemburg 1,280,000 francs’ (256,000) for damage done tothe fields and crops by the passage.of the Ger- man troops and 311,000 francs ($62,- -200) for the use of roads and the damage done to streets and buildings. The wish of David Jacobs, 60 years old, who had spent 20 years in the State prison for murder, that his life not might not be ended within the walls, was granted on ‘Thanksgiving Day, only to be followed by the old man falling dead a few moments after eating dinner with his son at a local restaurant outside the prison at Wau- pun, Wis. The dry weather which has lasted near Cottonwood, Kansas, almost two months is beginning to tell on fall wheat. A lack of moisture together with the very warm fall has caused bugs to infest wheat fields more thickly than ever before. In Cotton- wood most of the cisterns are dry,, forcing a large number of the towns- people to carry their drinking water from the few good wells. Seeretary Haouston’s order modify- idg tha quurantine for foot and mouth | disease so that the supply will be re-j leased for use and the industry of feeding meat animals freed from ob- stacles over a large territory in Illi- nois, Iowa and Wisconsin became effective Monday. The order is par- ticularly significant in that it permits the shipment of dressed calves, sheep and swine, commonly shipped with their hides, hoofs and heads on, with- out restriction from the territory specified. Virtually all Southern Tlli- nois is released. St. Louis packers and the St. Louis market will be ben- efited. : Supplanting the good old fashioned American turkey on the dining table, “baby’’ ostrich was served in at least three places in New York. Fresh from the ostrich farms in the south- western part of the United States, the baby ostriches, each weighing 50 pounds, arrived.there Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Though ostrich has been on the menus of Chicago and other Western hotels for the last few weeks, this was the first time ostrich has been served in New York. Fifty more of the birds will reach New York in a day or two and roast ostrich will be added to the menus of other hotels. Rather than electrocute ten men in Arkansas, who have been convicted and sentenced to death for various crimes, Luther Castling, electrician at the State Penitentiary, present- ed his resignation to the Prison Commission. No action has been taken on the resignation, as - the}. authorities say they know of no one who can take Castling’s place. The first of the electrocutions is set for Wednesday, when Neal McLaughlin, a white man convicted of attacking a white woman, will die unless the Governor intervenes. Six of the con- demned men are negroes. General News of the Week lishing $738,000,000, a total in all, three of $33,938,000,000. In other. words, agriculture exceeds all of these | industries from the standpoint of in- | vestment. Tilling of the soil is the largest single industry in the United) | States. And when it is considered | that the people engaged in agricul- ture constitute more than one third of all the people in this country en- gaged in any business occupation, it will be readily understood of what prime importance is the furthering of good roads that will open up our, rural districts. New Educational Posts ' For Laidlaw and Reeves. , Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 29.—It is | announced that W. N. - Laidlaw, statistician in the office of State Su- perintendant of Schools W. P.
