Infantile Paralysis is Baffling
Medical Science.
It is asserted on medical authority
that infantile paralysis is spread
ing. Medical men are not agreed as
to the cause of this new disease nor
as to the proper method of treating
it. It is certainly a baffling question
for scientific men to solve. In Octo
ber of last year the disease beeame
epidemic in Kansas City and since
that time It has spread almost over
the entire country. Dr. Simon Flex
ner of the Rockefeller institute of
New York, took up the question and
the first tests, proved that it was not
a blood disease. A portion of the
spinal cord of a child that has died
of the disease was transplanted into
the vertebra of a monkey. Almost
immediately the animal fell 111. Its
leg began to shrivel and it grew mora
and more helpless, just as a child
does when seized by the disease. Fin
ally the monkey died of anterior pol
omyelitls and its brain and spinal
tissues were studied under powerful
microscopes for the purpose of dis
covering, if possible, a distinctive mi
crobe. There was no trace of any
such to be found. Further experi
ments, however, disclosed the fact
that some germinal agent existed in
the nervous membranes, and although
too small for the microscope, it was
actively infactlous. As soon as a bit
of the spinal column of one paralyzed
monkey was transferred to another,
that monkey invariably fell ill.
The disease is essentially one of
childhood, although adults occasion
ally contract it. The average age of
those attacked is between two and
three years of age. The youngest age
In last year's epidemic1 in Kansas City
was eight months and the oldest was
thirty-one years.
The latest theory concerning thi3
disease is that the buffalo gnat car
ries it and causes its spread. This
is only a theory that is in process
of development. Certain It is that it
comes from somewhere.
In the event of any child showing
symptoms which are usual to the be
ginning of an attack of poliomyelitis,
such as fever, pain, constipation, vom-
. iting, etc, remember that while
these symptoms may mean only a
passing disturbance, yet they may be
the first stage of infantile paralysis
Call a physician at once, and mean
time keep the child quiet. If the
child seems to recover almost wholly
in two to four days, do not remit
watchfulness, for In pollmyelitls the
Initial symptoms, after lasting two
to four days, often disappear for a
day or two to be followed then by a

WILL ASK HONEf TO ;..
FIGHT HOG CHOLERA
"devolutions have been adopted at a
signal meeting or the rseurasKa
Swine Breeders' association asking
the next legislature to appropriate
$5,000 to equip a hog cholera serum
laboratory at the state farm. The re
quest is the result of successful ex
periments at the Union Stock Yards
in South Omaha.
It will be the office of this labora
tory to supply the serum free to the
farmers of Nebraska, thereby maiclng
certain that they get the pure serum
and not Imposed upon by fakirs of
fering remedies.
The Union Stock Yards company
furnished thirty healthy hogs for In
oculation and treatment with ser
um. The experiments demonstrated
the value of the remedy beyond the
shadow of doubt.
"If the experiments are successful
In South Omaha, hog cholera Is a
thing of the past in Nebraska," said
the swine breeders, when the hogs
were given the experts by General
Manager Buckingham.
The experiment succeeded. The
hogs died which were not treated.
Those treated are living today, strong
and healthy. Those given the serum
and placed with the healthy treated
and untreated hogs, passed before
their unfortunate brothers into the
beyond of American hogs. The re
sults of the experiment were shown
at the state fair In Lincolnthe hogs
rescued from cholera by means of
the pure serum.
The special meeting of the Swine
Breeders' association resulted and
this organization will begin at once
a campaign to equip a state office
to supply the serum direct to the
swine breeders.

PLANS INCREASE IN PEN
SIONS OFOLD VETERANS
An increase In pensions for the civil
war veterans Is the object of an or
ganization which is to be backed by
all the veterans in Douglas county.
Representative of 600 old soldiers
met in Baright's hall Tuesday night
and endorsed the measure known as
the National Tribune Pension bill.
W. H. Green was eiected chairman of
the meeting and Curtiss C. Guild sec
retary, and a committee of Colonel
Green, Charles Allen and J. H. Pres
son was appointed to write to the sen
ators from Nebraska and to candi
dates to enlist their support. A
mass meeting will be held In two
weeks.
The bill endorsed provides for a
pension to be paid all veterans of the
civil or Mexican wars; 15 a memth
for those over 62 years old, $20 for
those over 63, $30 for those over 70
and $40 for those over 73. If this
art Is passed it will not prevent a
oldier from drawing any pension that
he may now draw If he prefers it to
the new claim, but none will be al
lowed two pensions. Widows of vet
erans who married them since 1890
will not be allowed pensions and ques
tions of rank will not be considered.

Put Ban on Advertising Fakers
and Fly-by-Night Program
Men.
One of the worst evils encountered
by the newspaper or job offices In the
average mid-west town, is the loss of
business given to fly-by-nlght adver
tising fakers by the merchants of the
place. For years protests and appeals
have gone up from newspapers and
trade publications against this evil,
pointing out that if the merchants of
the city desired to advertise, they
should patronize the newspapers and
Job offices of their home town first.
That the merchants of Beatrice
have finally woke up to the Injustice
of this long common practice, and at
a recent meeting of the commercial
club of that city, passed the following
set of resolutions:
Appreciating the large amount of
money wasted on doubtful advertising
schemes, we hereby agree that here
after we shall decline to patronize all
such so-called advertising. Among
the things which we will not patronize
or support under any circumstances
are the following:
The city directory, unless Its pub
lished in Beatrice.
Hotel registers, desk cards, card
cases, room cards and similar devices.
Cook books, society or church pro
grams, blank books, time cards and
other similar devices.
Race track programs, base ball
score cards, etc.
Newspaper schemes of every char
acter when presented by traveling
promoters or agents other than those
regularly employed by Beatrice pa
pers. Irregular publications and circu
lars Issued wholly or chiefly for the
purpose of selling advertising space.
This paragraph shall not be Interpret
ed to prohibit circulars Issued by the
merchants themselves.
When programs or announcements
in connection with local charities, or
meetings, conventions or assemblies
held In or near Beatrice are presented
to us, we will re'er them to the sec
retary who will present each proposi
tion to the advertising committee for
approval or rejection.
In the case of programs, etc., for
meeting held In the vicinity of Beat
rile, preference shall be given to
those where the local association in
charge of the meetings gets the full
benefit of the profits from the adver
tising, and we recommend that the
amount of advertising be limited to
simply cover the cost of publication.
We will also refer to this commit
tee all propositions which appear to
be questionable, whether they are
'lamed in this agreement or not.
The foregoing resolutions could he
made lust as applicable for Platts
mouth as they are for Beatrice, and
if the commercial club of this city
would pass similar regulations for use
among the merchants, Justice would
only be done the newspapers of this
city, who at all times are working
for the interest of the merchants
themselves.

'PHONE BILL
L BE THE RESULT
From the attitude expressed by at
torneys on both bides in the argu
ment in supreme court Monday on
the modification of the injunction
now existing against the Bell com
pany and from the questions askod
by members of the court, It seems
certain a universal telephone physi
cal connection bill will be Introduced
In the next legislature and will take
near the top of the list of Important
measures.
Both interests have tried to attach
their toll lines to (opposition ex
changes. The connection of a toll
line with an exchange gives the line
a terminal of no less value In .the
telephone business than good termin-
al facilities are to railroads. .With;
a compulsory connection law every
exchange In the state would offer Its
patrons toll service over two toll
lines, extending long distance service
to the territory occupied by both
telephone systems.
The telephone men will demand
that a provision be Inserted in the
proposed law that the wishes of the
subscriber shall determine over which
of the two toll lines a message shall
be routed.
It is asserted that such a law would
tend to quiet conditions In the tele
phone world as It would take away
the Incentive for much of the harsh
and fierce competition that now ex
ists between the two interests for the
possession of terminals.
A referee will be appointed to take
testimony In the suit whereby the
state hopes to oust the Bell com
pany from the state, but there is yet
no hint of who this referee will be.
The supreme court has said that It
will appoint the refree Itself unless
the state and the defendant attor
neys agree upon some one. The po
sition is one well worth going after,
stenographic ability and some know
ledge of the law being required in
the refree.
The Nebraska Bell company filed
Its answer to the Injunctive proceed
ings Monday night, setting forth
nothing new, however, than w hat had
been adduced during the Bell argu
ments in supreme court during the
day. It Is asserted that the state
does not allege farts sufficient to
constitute a cause for action and as
serts that If the complainant Is In
jured that damages can be secured
In a court of law.
The court did not' decide today
whether it would grant the modifica
tion sought by the Bell company, the
members of the court falling to meet.
The Bell Interests want the injunc
tion bo modified that they can make
toll lines connection with the Platts
mouth, Papllllon and Nebraska City
exchanges.

OETS TOO JJCH BUG JUICE!
C. M. Kidder, vegetable vender
from Iowa, was In the city last even-
ing with a load of produce and after
supper having imbibed a bit ot Glen
wood whiskey and afterwardstmlxed
the drluks with Plattsmouth beer, had
visions of wealth, and going to the
Patterson & Thomas garage, stated
that his wife was dying in an Omaha
hospital and that it would be worth.
$50 to him to be landed In Omaha
as speedily as possible. An auto was
speedily brought forth, oiled and
shtned, ready for the race. All of
this occupied but a short time but
when the machine was ready for tho
spurt, the passenger did not show
up. Mr. Thomas had an Inkling that
his customer had gone to the M. P,
depot and he determined to, see him
at least, and In company with Chief
Ralney and Night Police Trout, he
started for the M. P. station but over
hauled Mr. Kidder on the way and
found him In the act of attempting to
pull down the telegraph wires, prob
ably intending to send a message to
his dying wife. The man acted other
wise singularly and the police brought
him In and threw him In the cltr
prison. This morning he was taken
before the police Judge who heard
the evidence and from the symptoms,
the judge concluded It was a plain
drunk with haluclnatlons, for which
for the first offense, the precedent
of $5 and costs was followed. Mr.
Kidder was released on his own rec
ognizance with the understanding
that as soon as he had realized suffi
cient on his load of produce, to pay
the fine and costs, he should do so.
The night's loading was donated to
him.
