.' In addition to the telegram th follow
ing letter was sent by the governor to
Mr. Melvln: .
"Pursuant to my telegram to you ask
ing your department to dender assistance
to ' the . state authorities - If possible In
helping to stamp out a disease among
horses In this state, diagnosed - by the
veterinary department as spinal menin
gitis, l am writing you so that the
exact condlltlon of affairs to this sttte
may be brought t0 vour attention more
at length. '
"You, ho doubt, have already been ad
vised through , the state department of
Kansas, as to the extent of the disease
In that state, where the disease appar
ently originated and has now started in
the state of. Nebraska. At this time
about orie-half-of the state of Nebraska
is affected and from the statistics that
the veterinary department has been able
to compile to date, it appears that only
about 6 per cent of the animals affected
recover. Dr. Bostrom and his assistant
veterinarians are working night and day
at this matter as is also the university
experiment station. "But the extent of
the disease and the remarkable per cent
of fatalities makes it a Jarge problem for
them to handle and I wish to urge upon
youto render every assistance 1 within
your power to the end that Bomething
may be done towards eradicating this
terrible disease. ' .
According to Dr. Bostrom. the state
veterinarian, the matter of checking the
disease has now become a very serious
maiier. Reports come from Kansas that
the disease has appeared among the
people and that it bjds fair to become
serious, s "I , have Just returned from
Holdrege," said Dr. Boslrom; "and' the
disease has reached an . alarming stage
there. Fully 500 horses have died In the
last 'few days in Phelps and adjoining
counties and It has become necessary to
use stringent means to prevent further
spreading." '
Dr. Grace Taylor

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Sept 7.-(Spedal
Telegram.) Dr. Grace Taylor, daughter
of W. J. Taylor of Merna, who was
seriously burned at the home of her
brother-in-law, W. S. Kellenbarger, Fri
day afternoon, succumbed to her In
juries early last night. A week ago Mr.
Taylor's youngest daughter, Mrs. W. S.
Kellenbarger, died at her home north
west of Merna, and Dr. Grace has been
staying at the house since then. . '
Grieving over her sister's death is
thought, to have . temporarily deranged
the young woman, for on Friday after
noon when a -number of the family "was
present, she slipped from the house, sat
urated her clothing with kerosene and set
fire to It. '. ...,
' The family knew nothing of her where
abouts until her piercing screams took
