The condition of Belle street be tween the Overath Meyer garden and Madison arenue continues to get worse and it bad weather should set th" and aid the other bad conditions the street will be dangerous to travel Lover, it hot actually impassible. The street 1s used by farmers almost exclusively. in going to or coming from down town, and they ire complaining that they caanct haul a load out that was any longer, their horses and their vehicles to.
damage if nothing worse; The aldermen of the ward bare. no money on hand to repair the worst places and if there is any money in the street and alley fund it is probably too sick to leave its bod. Anyway it stays in the fund instead of being used in fixing op such places as Belle I street, north of the pared portion. The board of trade is doing all it can to induce farmers and others to come to Alton to trade while the city engineer and others responsible for street! conditions will allow without effort to remedy or thought apparently, one of the, main streets leading to and from all of the country north. of Alton to become, and remain in a most ed condition: for weeks and months at a time.
Warnings Being Sent to The Illinois State Live Stock Com: mission is again issuing warnings to farmers and stock raisers agalost the feeding of cornstalks to -horses during the remainder of the winter. Secrotary Lowrey of the commission states: "More deaths have been caused this winter than ever before through the poisonous. fungus on cornstalks. So far as have yet been able to determine there is no remedy for such poisoning except to keep the horses out of the stalk fields." As has been stated before, prevalence of the fungus growth the stalks this year. has been due to the wet autumn.
season and the drouth which closely followed it. Farmers. in this vicinity have been heavy losers of horses from the above supposed cause, end: even yet cases are developing suddenly and resulting fatally in this locality. Rough feed for live stock, is scarce anyway land if the fecding of fodder must be abandoned altogether, farmers. will have to buy hay and other' high priced stult for their horses.
It is raid the corn fodder, or whatever deleterious substance is in it- does not or at least has not affected cattle unfavorably at all. Farewell Gathering. A farewell party WAg given last evening to Mre. Josse Starr at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
