small biplane would be fast enough to

HOLDREGE, Neb., Sept. ll.-(Speclal )
In his efforts to help stamp out the
meningitis epidemic among horses. Dr.
D. S. Palmer, county health officer and
physician, has made a discovery that
may be of great value In the fight.
He has successfully t rated two infected
horses with tetanus serum. ; '
Acting on the theory that since the two
diseases are quite similar In that they
attack the nervous centers and cause
paralysis, he secured from Omaha four
bottles of the tetanus toxin, the entire
available supply In that city. This he
immediately tested on three horses In
the latter stages of the disease. Two. of
the animals which had not reached the
final stage of the malady were instantly
benefited and are now seemingly well.
The third' animal was in' the final stage
of the disease and died two hours after
the injection was made.
The results of the tests were so en
couraging that Dr. Palmar was at once
ordered by the oflcers of the Holdrego
Commercial club and members of the
board of supervisors to telegraph to the
factory for a large supply of the tetanus
serum. The serum should reach here
Tuesday or Friday and' further tests will
then at once be made. The results will
be watched with great Interest by veterl
naries and horse owners all over the
Infected districts. It Is estimated Uiat
total deaths In Phelps county number 400.

The gauntlet was thrown down to Cald

The adoption of the resolution brought

When the conference opened, Mr, Stout
and Mr. Drake renewed their request
that the board release a part of the 15

in order that the general contractors
might use it in settling financial affairs
with sub-contractors and others. Com

Mr. Stout wanted to know why", the
county had broken into its 15 per cent
reservations with other contractor on
the building, such as J. .J. Hanlghen,

financial loss because his money was
tied up through no fault of his own, but

After the Spanish-American war he

hesitated," said Mr. Latenser.
"We didn't hesitate," said Mr. Stout.
"We 'simply didn't do it. We unequivo

Labor Scores Point v
in British Politics
LONDON, Sept-11 Major J. A. Hope,

ment for Midlothian today in succes
sion to the master of Ellbank, who re
cently was elevated to the peerage.
Hope's majority over his liberal opponent,
Alex Shaw, was thirty-two. v
The poll resulted as follows:
Major Hope, unionist, 6,021; Alex Shaw,
liberal, 5,989: Provost Brown, labor, 2,413.
The loss of the Midlothian seat to the

despite any effect it might have on the

-Many veterinarians of the state gath
ered in the senate chamber this afternoon
answering the call sent out by the fitato
Board 'of Veterinarians,! About1 230 were
present and most of them took part in
the conference, which became a sort of
experience meeting.' , . "
Governor Atdrlch called the meeting to
order and stated the object and asked
all to give their experience with the dis
ease as they had Come In contact'wlth It.
Dr. . Bostrom, state veterinarian, then
took the chair and told of some of tho
work that had been done in the effort
to get a correct diagnosis of the cases
which had been reported..
It seemed to be the opinion of many of
the veterinarians present that the disease
was most prevalent In places where horses
had been working during the daytime and
were, turned out to pasture nights and
Sundays. Some others Insisted that the
disease seemed to be the strongest In pas
tures whloh ' were not properly drained,
while one doctor said that one man wh,i
lived on a farm where hog cholera had
raged for the last six years had lost
nearly all of his horses and thought that
had something to do with It
Ave No ' Difference.
One doctor reported that the age of the
animal had nothing to do with the dis
ease. He had found it in colts 3 months
old and In horses over 20 years old. They
live from a few hours to ten days and
very ' seldom that a horse afflicted with
the disease ever recovers. A great many
reported that In most of the cases com
ing under their notice the animal had
worms. ''',
Dr. Hoylman of Franklin gave quite a
long talk on the experience he had had
and said that he had gone so far as to
call In consultation Dr. Klngaley ,cf
Kansas City, who had diagnosed several
cases with him and had killed, two or
three horses that were Jut beginning to
show symptoms of the disease. Thny hod
held twenty post mortems and found
practically no difference In the iases
All had shown a largo amount f worfis
In the Intestines and In 3..n'e 'asei mil
lions of them. He read a tetter from Dr.
Klngsley, written after h haJ returned
to Kansas City, lit which It wui stated
that he thought the dleeat was due to
parasites which crawl up the blades of
grass or the weeds and that the horses
ate them with the grass. H suggested
as a help In the matter that Urn nnimals
be kept In- a lot where tluir-; was .
grass or weeds or puf In thu barn and
kept there.
v Symptoms Described. '
Dr. Andrews, another veterinarian,
was called upon to tell the symptoms,
which he said were first chown !iy
dmwslncss. After that the anfincl wouM
sometimes wttlk Up and dowi along th?
fence, taking the same path each way.
Finally they, would' change to a wide
circle, gradually narrowing down to a
circle probably a rod or two rods across.
They would not seem to be In much
pain, but would eventually nt blind and
finally lay down' and die. The tempera
ture would run f roni 103 to 107.
Much Inteestr was taken In the meet

everybody was a loss.

Governor Wilson Explains.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept li.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson while traveling from
Atlantic City to Jersey City today drew
the distinction between a . campaign
"tour" and "trip." , Earlier in the cam
paign the governor has announced that
he would make no "speaking tour of tha
country, but would fill a number of en
gagements on particular occasions."
"The difference," said the candidate,
"Is that a tour means a sweep of an en
tire section of the country, while a trip
simply Is going to a certain place or
number of places and coming back home
again. It's just like a base ball game,
I take a trip around the bases and Blip
up to the plate again after a little rest
and make some more runs. It Isn't Hko
a track meet, where you are running
around all the time. That'a a tour." .
, The governor, said that when he re
turned from his Western trip on Septem
ber 23 he would real, a few days and
start on another. He plans to make one
trip every week until the end of the
campaign. His first western trip is to
begin September 18 and will end on Sep
tember 23 at Seranton, Pa., ,when the
Pennsylvania state democratic candidates
are notified! of their nominations. The
next day the governor will go to his homo
at Princeton to vote in the New Jersey
primaries for United States senator. '
