O Kieck and covers property that is desirable is the large amount of taxes is cleared up and the prop erty sold and placed in the hands of those who will see that the prop erty taxes are paid. The suit involves tracts of prop erty in several parts of tho city, including the lots at the corner of Main and Richey streets, the land occupied by the former Sharp ma chine shops and the Alfa-Maize mill on Third and Pearl streets as well as two buildings on lower Main street, one of which has been empty for some time and the other one which is ustd only by living apart meats on the second floor of the building. The last two buildings are those known as the Pearlman build ing and that elected by Peters & Richards a number of years ago. An other piece of property that is in volved in the action is that at the corner of Seventh and Main street. It is hoped by these actions to clear up the taxes cn the property or at least to realize something of the amount that is due the state, county and city and to again make the property one on which the regu lar return of taxes may be expected each year.

Rabies in dogs is caused by a germ and not by lack of water, hot weather or teasing by children, says Dr. W. II. Wilson, chief of the state bureau of health, in answer to news paper items. He says rabies is spread by a rabid dog biting other dogs and the disease is passed along. He points out that a rabid dog will die in ten days and thus confinement for observation is urged. Delay in the use of antirabic treatment by human beings is fatal, he says. Dr. Wilson said: "Rabies in a dog or human is caused by a specific virus or a germ, just as is diptheria or typhoid fever caused by the specific germs of those diseases, and by nothing else. "Rabies in the dog is not and can not be caused by hot weather, lack of water or being teased by children, or by all of these combined. Rabies is caused and perpetuated by a rabid dog biting other dogs, thus passing the disease along. Of course it is a human act to give dogs water to drink in hot weather or any other time, but be assured the heat or lack of water is not a factor in any way in the cause of rabies. "There are too many ownerless dogs at large In this and other ci ties. There should be none. The stray dog should be at once cap tured, as he i3 always a potential menace. When anyone is bitten, the dog that bit should be at once cap tured and put in confinement and observation. If such dog is rabic, in a few days he will show definite symptoms of the disease, and will die inside of ten days. During this pe riod, if the person bitten Is given antirabic serum, he will almost sure ly recover. If the treatment is de layed until symptoms of rabies set In, treatment is likely to be of no avail. "Lastly, get rid of stray dogs. They are a menace. Do not lose sight of the dog that has bitten." , ent The IT. S.
