A WILEY EXPERT DISMISSED.
loyd Roblson , Holding Wiley's Views ,
Is Cut Off From Job.
Washington , July 18. Floyd Robl-
on , nn important member of the staff
f Dr. Harvey W. Wiley , chief of the
ureau of chemistry of the depart-
lent of agriculture , it has developed
as dismissed from the bureau June
0 , on charges of insubordination. Al-
liough his dismissal was important ,
: was not considered sufficiently note-
vorthy to bring to the attention of
3r. Wiley. Robinson was a member
f Dr. Wiley's staff of experts in New
"ork City. He came originally from
llchlgnn.
Dr. Wiley said that Robinson had
> ccn dismissed but he did not know
'fflcially ' why or when he had been
Itschargcd.
Dr. F. L. Dunlap , assistant chemist ,
ecllncd to discuss the matter except
o say It had been done within the
ast two months.
Secretary Wilson said Robinson had
) een relieved of service because of
nsubordlnation. The insubordination
vas a refusal to carry into effect an
jrder of the secretaries of the depart
ments of agriculture , treasury and
ommerce and labor to prohibit the
use of benzoate of soda mixed with
oed , which had been determined was
leleterlous to health. The order was
lot to bo rendered effective provided
'that container or package of such
oed is plainly labeled to show the
presence and amount of benzoate of
soda. " This dismissal of Robinson ,
he secretary said , had nothing to do
vith the recommendation of Dr.
Wiley's dismissal by the departmental
> oard. It Is known that Robinson took
he same view of the deleterious ef-
ects of benzoate of soda as Dr.
\VIley \ took. They were turned down
by the referee board of consulting
icientlfic experts appointed by Presi
dent Roosevelt.
When Robinson was dismissed Dr.
Wiley knew nothing about it. He was
lot consulted concerning the matter ,
ho said.
Lightning Kills Cattle a Ewlng.
Ewing , Neb. , July 18. Special to
The News : During quite a heavy
wind and rain storm Saturday after
noon lightning struck and killed four
lead of steers for Antony Drzewelckl.
The animals were all In a pasture and
were all registered stock.
During the same storm M. R. Barr ,
tving five miles east of Ewlng , had
two horses killed by a bolt of light
ning. A third horse was knocked
down and stunned , but finally recov
ered and Is apparently all right again.
Lewis Alexander , who resides a
short distance west of Orchard , had
: ils barn struck by lightning in Sat-
.mlny's storm and burn to the ground.
A calf In the barn at the time was
also burned. Mr. Alexander was not
it home at the time , but a neighbor ,
seeing the flames , succeeded In get
ting there In time to rescue a fine
span of mules.
Brown County Wants Rain.
Ainsworth , Neb. , July 18. Special
: o The News : Brown county would
be glad to have a good soaking rain.
The corn is not yet suffering that is ,
not the field corn. The early sweet
corn Is a practical failure. But the
field corn will soon need it , and the
potatoes are really suffering. Early
potatoes are not setting on and late
ones will not unless a good soaking
rain comes soon. All have faith , and
hope that it will come before it is
everlastingly too late. There are
plenty of local showers that- measure
all the way from .05 of an Inch to .10
and .11. These are better than a hot
wind from the southwest , but they do
not improve the condition very much
Another thing that this freaky sea
son is showing is that in many cases
the ground that has been cultivated
least Is suffering the least from
drouth. The writer dug into a spot
on his ground the other day where
there had not been one bit of cultlva
tion during the season , and he founc
moisture within an inch and a half of
the top of the ground , while in the
garden where he had put in his best
licks with the hoe , the ground was as
dry as powder down for five to eight
inches.

geons of her navy to all ships bound
o America from plague infected ports
o prevent the spread of infection
imong passengers and to aid the quar-
ntlne officers when ships arrive.

loned a ten-day quarantine for such
essels and have sent hero several
nedlcal experts Including assistant
Surgeon General Lecoffer from the Pa
cific coast and Dr. Von Ezdorf who Is
n charge of the United States ma-
inc hospital at Mobile. Since no ship
s scheduled to arrive hero from the
Mediterranean for two days the health
officers of the port were able to do-
oto all their attention today to the
mctorlologlcal examination of some
00 passengers of the steamer Moltke
ind Perugia still in quarantine. The

Ists charged with the murders of

abroad. He has received from parties
n New York a check for $100 and
hree shares of stock. The laws of
Italy do not , however , permit a mane
o receive presents while he Is a pris
oner and accordingly the director of
.he prison sequestered $ hose intended
'or the prosecution's witness.
The interrogation of Cap. FabronI ,
who was detailed by the ministery of
justice to run down the murder of the
Cuoccolo when the police had failed ,

n the crimes with Giro Vltozzl ; the
> riest Enrico Alfailo , the alleged real
aead of the camorra , and the other
accused men.

years ago , particularly In Polk and
Hamilton counties , with some cases
here , and the people dreaded its reap <

the disease was known the county
