Galesburg displays the largest northern Illinois share of state penitentiary inmates outside Chicago and leads the state outside Chicago in bankruptcy filings under the new law. In Sandwich, an epizootic disease resembling a past horse illness is quarantined south of town but not yet affecting local horses. The Hart farm near Winnebago, 320 acres, sold at master in chancery for 671.50 per acre totaling 21937.50 to A H Merlien of Rockford after stiff bidding among three rivals. Moline Dispatch notes horses have died this fall from cerebrospinal meningitis linked to frost bitten corn, a condition possibly farm-specific due to mold growth. Mercer county reported a case. Frost bitten corn is common, advising feeding only corn that froze prior to first frosts.
