at a Justifiable expense.
Slioiilil lie ItlKlillr Uniirnntliiril.
It Is yet uncertain If 1he enormous ex
pense attendant upon nn attempt to destroy
all animals reacting to the tuberculin test
Is lustlflod. but It Is undoubted that a com
munity , both on the grounds of public econ
omy nnd those of public health , will be ben
efited by such control as will ensure thr
Isolation ot and the prohibition for human
consumption of the products of all anlrnala
showing physical signs of disease.
In order to reallzo the many nnd nlmo
Insuperable dltncultles of an enforced con
trol of tuberculosis. It will bo necessary
to touch upon some of the known factors
connected with Its cause and spread which
I will summarize briefly ns follows :
The actual and direct cause of the disease
Is the existence In the blond and tissue ?
of a specifics bacillus , capable of unlimited
development In the animal , wherein It ha <
gained access. This bacillus Is practlcallv
Identical in man and the lower animals
and Is constantly being excreted by an In
fected Hiiblect and can mnnln potent out
side Its host under conditions of extreme
dryness or moisture nnd of tcmperaturi
from zero to 150 decrees F. for nn unknowt
length of time. The active direct cauw
therefore. Is constantly Intercommunlcabli
between subjects of various species , con
trary to the llfo history of nearly all othc :
disease germs. Fortunately , the power foi
evil of this germ Is limited to the susn p
tlblllty of the subject it attacks. So commoi
at the present tlmo Is the germ in clvllhci
llfo and highly domesticated 'animal ' llfi
nnd so peculiar nro the conditions of suscep
tlbllltv that the latter In the actual produc
tlon of the disease constitutes a more 1m
portnnt factor than the germ. Itself.
The conditions which play such nn Impor
tant part are all thpse methods of llvlm
which tend to deoxygonatlon and dcllbrlna
tlon of the blood : all of those conditions
which tend to Imperfect or excessive secre
tlon and excretion nnd all those which pro
duce nnharmonlouB development. Such , I
short , as may bo produced by ovcrcrowdtnp
badly ventilated , damp houses , by the dls
eases of Innutrition , by both "sprouts" an
retrogressions from Imbrcedlng or Intens
breeding , and by any of the numerous cause
which reduce the quantity of red corpuscles
Repressive measures may do much towar
annihilating the- germ , but all which ca
bo done In this direction Is futile unless th
more Important predisposing causes nr
taken care of bv the Individual.
Not Virulently Coiitnuloim.
Strictly speaking , tuberculosis Is not vlrti
lently contagious In the sense that It I
passed from ono subject to another , undt
normal conditions , with anything like th
certainty of cattle plague , pluuro-pnetimonlj
foot and mouth disease , smallpox , dlphtherl
or scarlet fever.
Were It not for this feebleness of this Ir
fectlvo qualities this germ would utterly d <
stroy the human race In a few years , c
few of us can escape Ingcstlon every dn
of our lives of thousands of the germs , eac
time wo Join a public gathering , enter
public qonveyanco or meet a common dui
storm of our cities. Under abnormal cond
tlons , however , the germ Is contagious In
high degree and , although they are to
great extcnt.prcventable by the Indlvlduo
yet some protection against the germ
rightly demanded.
Taking Into consideration , then , all <
these several facts and the dangers to 1
expected from the occurrence of this dlseas
we will now consider what steps should 1
taken bv the nation , state or Indlvlud
toward Its suppression. The tirst clemei
to bo considered Is the Important ono
expense. So widespread Is this disease ai
so dirtlcult is It at times of detection th
expense forms the most Important facto
fin much Is this the case that I do not he
Itate to say that the thorough handling
this dlPJnso by many governments has n
been undertaken up to the present tin
simply on account of th ( > expense. The cffor
of the British and other European goveri
confined to giving BUI
mcnts are nt present
advice as will tend to heln owners to redu
the predisposition of their stock.
Continuing on this line. Dr. Gresswcll ea
that It would seem unjust that the who
expense ot detection and disposition'
diseased animals should be borne cither l
the stock sanitary bean
{ ho individual or
saying :
Only Preliminary.
In the case ot a dlseno like tuberculos
where the danger of animal Infection fro
one owner to another's Is comparative
small and where the loss occurs to the 1m
vldual owner , and can by him bo control !
to n great extent without damage to r
neighbors and , further , where the dan ?
to the community at large lies In the co
lamination of human beings from the si
of the products of diseased animals. 1 tliti
thft lurlsdlctlon of live etock boards shoii
extend onlv to the preliminary Investlgati
necessary to determine thn existence of t
disease and the * giving of such advice
may help the owner to control the dlsea
and ttf prevent its spread to the stock
others. The other expenses of taking FU
action as shall prevent the Infection frr
spreading to human beings cither by t
prohibition of the sale of diseased produi
or the confiscation or the condemnation wl
Indemnity of Infected animals should f
under the special Jurisdiction of the lei
boards of health. The duties of the 1
stock boards In the matter of public heal
should end with the giving of duo not
to the local board of health officers of a
occurrence of the disease.
The offspring from affected mother ? shot
bo tested with tuberculin when a few wee
old. repeated nt three months nnd again
further Intervals until maturity Is attain :
The milk from affected dams after sterlll ;
tlou could be used for other animals , but
account of the risk of Imncrfect stcrlllzati
neither the milk nor the flesh of st
animals should be used for human consutr
As to the practical control of this d
ease wo have first the National Bureau
Animal Industry , which , rightly. I thli
confines Its efforts to the free supply of p\
unadulterated tuberculin for official use. 1
have , also. In most states boards of 1 !
stock commissioners of animal sanltz
boards , whose duty It should be to Inves
gate outbreaks and take such steps 01
as may be considered necessary for the pi
tectlon of owners of healthy stock , and
this end no severe reflations nro necessr
beyond the prohibition of affected anlm
ot nnd Instructions nnd advlco to the owm
thereof as to the best methods to take to i
at rid of the disease and prevent Ita reci
st renco in the future. In addition to thi
, ic inencles for the control of the disease ,
"hould have another , the most * importt
f all. the owner , who , by better npprec

ot bo acted on today in connection with oil
ot a similar nature.
The regular routine of business did
rail for the election nt officers until today ,
> ut these present seemed to think that Clio
Ime was opportune , not knowing what
might como up today , and so the regular
order was done away with and officers for
ho ensuing year were elected. C. P. John-

This pleco of business being out ot the
way , the next suggestion was that a place

'rom ' Chicago , Kansas Cluy , Fort Worth nnd
Oklahoma City presented the claims of
their respective choice nnd the balloting
proceeded. It took three ballots to decide
and then Fort Worth came out the winner.
Chicago was never In It , but Kansas City
was a close second until the last ballot ,
when a majority of the delegates voted for
the Texas city. October 10 , 1809 , was the
date set for the next meeting. President

TEST OF TUB STU13U TIIACIC HUAO ,
SucccKflfnl nxlilliltloit of the Advun-
< HKC of tlic Now I'liin.
A test of the steel road , which Is ot
exhibition north ot the Dairy building , was
made yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
Three heavy wagons loaded with nearlj
100 men were drawn over Its smooth sur
fnco by a single horse. This representei
the hauling power of the animal on thli
style of roadway to bo nearly ten times It :
weight.
The steel road has been placed on ex
hlbltlon under the direction of Martli
Dodge of the United States bureau of roai
Inquiry. It consists of two steel rails elgh
Inches In width and onc-'hnU an Inch thick
laid on a foundation of cement. Ilotweei
these Is a hard surface ot crushed gravel
The rails are laid In lengths of thirty feel
It Is estimated that this road can be pu
down In almost every kind of soil at a ;
average expense of from $3,000 to ? 3GO
u mile.
On a common road a good load for a hors
Is his weight. On the paved streets In th
city a horse can haul from two to fou
times his.weight. The steel road has th
advantage ot being harder and more un
yielding than one made from any othc
material. There U practically but one pole
of contact and friction Is reduced to th
minimum. It Is believed by those Inter
csted In the construction of the now roa
that If It comes Into general use the de
niand for Inanimate motlvo power will t
Increased , as engines of small horse pow <
would bo cheaper than horses.
The new road will be put down with
single track and no turnouts. The har
bed between the rails and at the sides I
thought to bo adequate to allow the llght <
team to glvo way to the heavier.

While addressing the convention of dairy'

Mr. Gates was the fourth speaker am
was telling of the work of the dairymen It
Iowa when ho suddenly stopped and will
the words "I'll have to quit , " sank Into hi :
chair. These who were sitting near him
thinking that ho had fainted , supported hli
head while his face was bathed with water
The efforts to revive him continued for flvi
minutes without success. Then ho wn
lifted by four of his fellow delegates am
carried out of the building where ho couli
get moro air , and the ambulance was called
While awaiting Its arrival restoratives wer
imcd without avail.
On arriving nt the hospital the case wa
pronounced apoplexy. In five minutes th
fluttering pulse of the stricken man cease
to beat. Life with strength of mind nn
body that were BO fully his had bee
snatched away without warning.
Mr. Gates was among the first dalryme
to start a creamery In the stoto of low

nt Manchester , where he owned a largo fan
and furnished the market with a great der
of butter. He was at ono time a mcrabc

of ago and left a widow and one son.

"You have a great exposition here , " sal
J. W. Wright , n professor in the McKlllc
Veterinary college at Chicago. "Wo wl :
live In Chicago , and who wcro accustomt
to visiting the World's fair every day , he
formed an Idea that the fair hero was a coi
ot the ono at Chicago , and could not be It
duced to believe otherwise. I went out thei
today , and was simply astonished. I he
met a number of friends who told mo It wi
a great exhibition , but was totally unpn
pared for what I saw. It Is beautiful , and
worth far more as an Individual cnt'crprli
than a mere comparison to the World's fal
While In some ways It Is patterned nft

William T , Daniel , who now lives flf
miles south of Kansas City , Is making li
first visit t'o Omaha In thirty years. Ho cat :
hero right after the war , and the grow

said , "they were running steamboats oh t
river. There was a lively little city he
then , but nothing which would Indicate
metropolis of the slzo now existing. The
were good times , too. It was the tradli
point for people for hundreds of mil
around. There were few railroads In t
west then , and freighting was nearly all do
by steamboats and by teams. Great tral
of teams and freight wagons would come In
the town and remain several days before g
Ing out again. Those who have not had e
perlenco with a community of that kind ca
not realize the life and business actlvl
which prevails. You may bo sure I w
surprised when I came here to see the e
