Health CommlH loner Assert Ihut There Is Mreat Danger from Docs II n nlnK nl Large. An ordinance compelling dogs to be mux sled or confined on the premises of tha owner during the heated term may result from the recent appearance of rablea In Omaha. The matter Is being talked up both by city officials and the public gen erally and leemi to b meeting wun ap nrovaL No draft of the proponed munici pal regulation has been prepared, but it Is .nt uniikrlv that an ordinance to this effect will be introduced at the next coun cil meeting. fhicf of Police Donahue Is one of the authorities who favors such an ordinance. "The welfare of all the dogs In the world la not worth one human life," la the way h uma ud his reason for a restriction of canine liberty. "In other cities," he says thp am atrinirent laws compelling the muzzling of dogs from June 1 to October 1, and the police are uBuany iiici.iiij ious to carry out the provisions of the law. They know the danger In dogs during hot weather. All over town at thu present time there are many vicious animals snap- ulna: at oeople. horses and other dogs whenever they get the chance. Power of the Police. "In this state dogs are property and the police have no right to kill an animal for which a license has been secured, unless the dog Is violent and Intent on Injuring people. Under the muzzle ordinance all dogs not so equipped could be taken to the dog pound, held and If not redeemed and the public protected from their Jaws could be destroyed. "Since Mrs. Stover's death this office has been called up by many persons who are afraid of dogs In their neighborhood which thev think mad or on the verge of It. This single case of hydrophobia has produced general feeling of alarm, and my observa tion is that It is not in-founded." Health Commissioner Ralph said yester day that he would be heartily in favor of the muzzle ordinance. He views it as almost a necessary precaution to safeguard the public Detective Flsk, who investigated yester day as to what dogs the rabies-infected spaniel had bitten, reported that so far as I he could learn no other dogs had been near the puppy and therefore apprehension from this source is probably groundless. One qualification, however, was that there are two cocker spaniels at the Gellenbeck home with which the smaller dog associated. Orders will be given to have these animals confined and watched until all danger of hydrophobia has passed. The danger is said to exist as long as six months after the wound has been Inflicted.

Miller Reiterates Hie Firm. Disbelief In Local Danger of Hablea. OMAHA, July 24.-To the Editor of The Bee: I am frequently asked what I think now, after the Bad case of Mrs. Stover, about the existence of hydrophobia. I ask space In The Bee to make public reply by saying: 1. I have always doubted, but have never denied, the existence of rabies in dogs and men. What I have said was, and what I now say is, that, admitting the existence of the disease which I am free to do with entire candor, it is so absolutely rare that there has been more danger to Human life In an hour's ride in a carriage In Omaha than there has been from mad dogs in the forty-nine years as a medical observer that I have lived in it. I appeal to the facts. If there is anything In truth; If there Is anything In intelligence and rea soning and Inexorable logic to be put against imagination and fright, then I am wholly right about it. Z. The competent physicians who tried In vain to save the life of Mrs. Stover, I understand, never saw a case, of hydro phobia until they saw her case. Brooklyn has had outbreaks of what I consider to be the same disease, which great men in medicine denounced as not being hydro phobia at all. Sir Thomas Watson, who was the great physician and medical teacher of London sixty years ago, never aw a case among Its millions of men and dogs. It is conceded that there never has been a case In Omnha before since the white occupation, even if Mrs. Stover had the disease. A veteran dog fancier a few years ago who had been scarred all over from the bites of the dogs which It was Ms profession to train, openly said In an interview in the Boston Herald that be never saw a case of rabies, and did not believe that any such disease existed. I have lived a long life with dogs for my constant companions from early child hood. I never saw a case of hydrophobia . i .a t iiur um r o injr person who ever aw any other person who ever saw one Out of 8.000 dogs reported mad to the Hu mane society of Philadelphia not one was conceded by the ablest examiners among meaicai men o nave mat disease. i asK tne press of the city to stop this excitement by speaking the truth to the people.

JACKSONIANS CHANGE PLAN Will Now Try to Have Convention Tele- ' gates Eleotei at Primaries, DENY THAT THEY FELL INTO A TRAP One Jacktuniau Boasts that the County Democracy Cannot Elect Any of Their Men at Primaries. Now It Is announced that the Jacksonians will break away entirely from the action of the democratic county committee and bring about an entirely new deal by which the county convention to elect delegates to the state convention shall be composed of persons elected at primaries instead of appointed by committee. This comes from a person who seldom makes a mistake when prophesying as to the course of the Herdmans, who are at present all-powerful In tho Jacksonlan organization and who are dressing down their friends who per mltted the motion of a representative from the County Democracy to prevail wlthou opposition. "The County Democracy may pretend it sprung a trap to catch us," said this Jack' soman, ' but the fact Is the motion was made to get a few members of that faction into the conventions. We can beat them every time there la fight and they know It so well that they are willing to dlsfran chlse the people In patty matters in order to get a few of their number Into a con ventlon, where they can never land If the people are permitted to make the selection, We have opposed the arrogance of the committees before and have carried the matter lrto the state convention, where we defeated them on Just such a scheme. Few of our men were present at the meeting of the county committee and one of them of fered opposition to the appointment plan. "There is going to be another meeting of the county committee, and at tils meeting the action taken last Saturday will be set aside and a date fixed for primaries for the selection of delegates to the convention. There Is plenty of time for this, and we will never submit to the undemocratic i method of selection of delegates by the committeemen. A. to the selection of dele. gates to the Judicial convention the action of the committee was foolish, for no Ju dicial convention has been called and It Is not within the power of the committee to call for the selection of delegates to a con vention lor which no apportionment has been made."

CIRCUS MEN TCPROVIDE HOME HtDlln Will Care ror Lad Who W Assaulted on tho Show Grounds. An episode on the Ringling Bros.' circus grounds Thursday night may be the means of saving a 12-year-old boy from facing the world and Its disagreeable features alone. Just before tha show began tha youngster, Robert Harris, complained that two ele phant caretakers had abused him and had deceived him by refusing to get him Into the tent after they had so promised. The two men were arrested and yesterday were sentenced tn three months each In the county Jail on the charge of assault and battery. A representative of the circus stayed behind to see that they were prosecuted. It developed, however, that the boy Is more or less of a tramp. According to his story his parents are dead, though he has sttp-parents, said to be at Hastings. He drifted Into Omiha about two weeks ago and has been living the best he could. A good voice fini a talent fur recitation made life easier for him, as occaslona'ly he got a few days' employment as a performer In a tent show. Now that the Ringling people have found the lad to be without a home they have telegruphed back to their representative to bring him along and they will find such place for him.
