NUMBER 9 STATE VETERINARIAN Mikit Close Eiannatlon of Sick Anlnl leUnging U C. R. Newcon Ei- plimt tht Disuse F. T. Ecscnman, State Veterinarian, of Louisville, was in the city Monday. He came down to examine a mare belonging to C. R. New-corn. Mr. Newcom bad owned the animal about three years. About the time he come in possession of her, he noticed the mare was running at the nose. He applied all the remedies he knew of, but they did not improve the condition of the animal. Upon examination by the State Veterinarian, it was discovered that the mare was infected with glandcis. This was so reported and the Fiscal Court appraised the nimal, after which it was killed and buried. Dr. Kesenman gave the following history of the disease: "Glanders is due to the bacillus of mallei or Glanders can not appear in animals unless this germ is introduced into the system. Glanders is of an insidious character and after invasion of an animal there may be no appearance of disease for a long time. A horse may be infected for years without suspicion and at the time is capable of infecting other horses, which may show typical symptoms in the course of two or three weeks, and die. Mules are highly to glanders and often die in the course of ten days or two weeks, in fact the disease in this form is very often mistaken for distemper. It is well for farmers who are able to recognize distemper among their stock to become suspicious of glanders, when they find it is not getting well in the course of ten days or three weeks. Glanders appears very much as distemper, except in addition to the continued discharge from the nose, there arc patches, known to the profession as chancers, on the partition of the nose. They can be recognized by elevating the nostrils and exposing the parts to the sunlight. Quite often it is necessary to feel them, this can be done by rubbing the fingers over them very lightly. When these ulcers heal, which is extremely rare, they leave a star shaped scar, at the same time other ulcers will be eating their way deep into the partition of the nose and it is quite common to find an animal chronically infected with the disease to have the partitions of the nose perforated. "The glands under the jaw, neck, arm and thigh arc always thickened from inflamation when the animal is suffering from glanders. A caugh is always present in glanders, especially in chronio type. "Man is susceptable to glanders and within the last year there has been three cases where the attendants contracted the disease, and two have since died. "Farcy is nothing loss than in the skin form and is just as contagious as that of the nose and lung stage Jt is. quite common to find an animal infected with both types at the same time. "The disease is incurablo and as soon as it is determined the animal should be destroyed. The Glanders law, recently enacted, provides an indemnity and compels the owner to burn or bury all infected animals." Agricela's"WirdsHayetielarkOn. The following letter appears in the Owensboro Inquirer, who describes its anonymous author as' "a leading lawyer and able jurist." Some of our neighboring counties 'are infeoted just now with bands of lawless miscreants, who are 'being called "night riders," I object to cip Misleading. It does not describe rF the bands referred to. I know net '. BIW IV IV WW w JaurajJIMSW. It must be admitted it's difficult to find a term that is descriptive. But when an outlaw, an assassin; an anarchist, marauder and would-be-murderer is simply called a "night riders" the English language is a miserable failure. Judging the character of these bands by their deeds the conclusion is unavoidable that they are public enemies; that they are savages; that they are cowardly and brutal ; that they ought to be hunted like wild beasts and shot down as such when found. They pretend friendship for farmers' organizations, but their pretenses are basely false and are intended to mislead. They are friends to no one. They have all the viccB of the anarchist with none of his courage of conviction. They are wonderfully daring if he is a poor man or friendless. The intrepid manner in which they shoot down women and children is striking. Injuring crops, burning barns, setting traps of dynamite in wheat threshers, driving people from their homes and from the slate these things and much more of the same order occur and the criminals arc not even arrested. Grand juries sit and judges expatiate, but nothing comes of it. A reign of terror seems beginning. It looks as if the stories of Orchard in the Haywood case are to be duplicated The good name of the state is being sullied, yet no special effort is being made to suppress this fearful state of affairs. The longer it continues the worse it becomes. The immune criminal doos not reform. Every good citizen should set about stopping this carnival of crime and lose no time in so doing. The miscreants can be all killed or jailed in a months. Let the work begin. Let every one understand that shooting these fellows down is lawful. No grand jury would indict for such a commendable act. AnmcoiiA. Table Talks. You will find that a great deal of character is imparted and received at the table. Parents too often forget this and therefore instead of swallowing your food in sullen silence; in stead of brooding over your business; instead of severly talking about others, let the conversation be genial, kind, social and cheering. Don't bring disagreeable things to the table in your conversation any more than you would in your dishes. For this reason, too, the moro good company you have at your table, the better for your children. Every conversation with company, at the table is an education to the family. Hence the intelligence and the refinement and appropriate behavior of a family which is given to hospitality. Never feel that intelligent visitors can be anything but a blessing to you and yours How few have gotten hold of the fact that company and conversation at the table are no small part of, education.

"A beautiful life is its own eulogy. It stands out against the background of years serene and complete. There is nothing to wish undone, nothing to add to that perfected span of spotless days. There are those whose epitaphs we dare not write and tor wnom our silence is kindness. There are others whom those alone who shared their daily walks can fitly praise. Blameless, upright, charitable and with the purple and fine gold of their natures unsoiled, tender to little children, loyal to family and friends, with love and charity for the afflicted, peace to all mankind; those who have fought the battles of life with clean hands and spotless life and have passed into the presence of their maker as fearlessly and trustingly as a little child."

Owing to the fact that there was a considerable disagreement between the players in the game of base ball played a few days ago between the Wilson Steam Laundry team and the team known as the Moore team, concerning the interpretation of certain rules of play, it was agreed that the question be left to the Base Ball Editor of the Courier Journal for interpretation. The following letter was written to him: "Dear sir: Enclosed find self-addressed envelope for reply to a question in base ball which has been left to you. "Runners are on second and third with one out; the batsman hits the ball and the runner, who was on second, runs to and touches third; the fielders throw the ball home ahead of the runner who was on third and the catcher touches the home plate with his foot alter the runner, who was on second, has touched third; the catcher throws the ball to the pitcher and the runner, who was on third when the ball was hit, runs homo and touches the plate without beiug touched by the ball. "Question 1, Is the runner out at home? 2, Could he have run back to third and forced the runner who ran up from second to have left the base? 3, And if this last proposition is true, could the runner have gone back to second and have been safe if he had not been touched with the ball before he got back? 4, Could he have been forced out, in case he could go back to second, by the ball being held by a fielder on the base as in running to first base?" The answers to the questions were: "Question 1, No. 2, Yes. 3, Yes. 4, No." So, the answers to the questions submitted bears out every contention of the Moore team and the ruu made in the play should have counted for that team as well as the out should have been counted against them. This is the proper way to learn the rules and because a play comes up that is different from the way it "used to be played," is no reason it is not right. J. W. Lamb is in possession of the Editor's reply. Advertised Letters.

Hcndelsou, Ky., July 211. The Gleaner has the following to say of a bold scheme worked here. "Apparently one of the boldest schemes by which to make the merchants and business men generally part with their cash is being worked in this city by a man named Hugg, who says he is representing the Harry Mack Reporting Co., with headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind. Hugg claims that his company jhas a eon-tract with the American Society of Equity to visit each town in the country and got the names of all the merchants and professional men in in each town who are in sympathy with organized labor and the aims of the great farmers' organization and these names arc then listed in folder form and these folders are supposed, to be used by the labor unions and the Society to keop the publio posted as to who arc the friends of labor. Each firm is mulcted to the tunc of fifty cents to get its name on the list and if it refuses to pay up it is placed on the "unfair" list, as are also the names of those who refuse to bite. Sixty-four merchants, doctors, liquor dealers and blacksmiths in all parts of the city were duped by Hugg. It was left for a Gleaner reporter to take the first steps which lead to the discovery of the frudulent scheme by seeuring a copy of the folder containing the names of the victims and submitting it to local officers of the American Society of Equity, who at once declared that they had no knowledge whatever of such a contract. The following quory was sent to J. A. Everett, at Indianapolis: "Has the Heury Mack Reporting Co. contract to canvas for sympathizers with the A. S. of R. and organized labor? T. T. Barrett." The reply was: "Don't know parties referred to. Know of no contract. J. A. Everitt. Teacher's listltate.
