To tha Editor ot Th Bee: Ordinarily negative statement are rmt worthy of attention, but occasionally they ara so misleading that contradictory statements may be excusable. Dr. Miller tatea, and repeats la a recent communlca- tlun, that there has been no oaaa Of rabies In dog, man or woman In Omaha In fifty years. I do not wish to discuss Dr. Millar's letter in detail, but only wish to say that I reported to The Bee a few weeks since an undoubted oaaa of rabies occurring in a watchman at tha am el Una company about two months after being bitten by a dog, the man dying In tha Clarkaon hospital after three days' lllneaa. ' I also eaw an undoubted care of rabies, a patient of Dr. Lord's, sixteen or eighteen years ago, the man dying after a brief ill ness. I am satisfied that there Is a mild epidemic of rabies in Omaha at tha present time, and I trust those In authority will deal with It wisely aa well as humanely. It might bo wall to suggest that killing dogs suspected of rabies Is not good manage ment; rather the dog should be secured safely until tha dioeaae haa an opportunity to develop Itself or until sufficient time haa elapsed ta demonstrate that tha dog Is not Buffering from thla dlaeaao. I would Ilka to ask Dr. Miller. Is a man's Ufa worth more than a dog's t Perhaps I had better ask the widow and children of tha man who died In Clarkaon hospital so recently. There haa been an pidemlo of rabies In western Maenaehueetta extending over a period of more than a year, and many deaths have been reported during that time. Scientific men have also had an opportunity to carefully study this dis ease. Our veterinary surgeons could give us valuable' Information on tha subject of rabies 'as It exists in the lower animals. Very respectfully, ANDRU B. SOMKRR Conflae th Doers. OMAHA, March 30. To the Editor of The Bee: I have just read tha article-ot Dr. George I Miller, president at tha Nebraska Humana society. , I would like to aak Brother Millar how ha would like to open the door of his house and find lying on the porch a vicious look ing dog, showing hie teeth and growling, as if h owned tba place. Now, would not Mr. Millar feel a little more safe If that dog had a mussla out 1 . think that he would, I think that h would forget hi humane feeling for that, day and wJsh (just for an Instant) that tha mayor bad ordered the musxles on sooner. I do not approve of the mussllng of dogs at any certain time ot the year, whether It be In dog days or In th (old weather, but I do believe that there ought to be soma steps taken by our city council ta prevent dogs running at large, and thereby endangering people and children ot . being bitten. We pay taxes on our horses and cattle, but wa are not allowed to let tham run at largo on tha streets. There ara doga In thla city that run at large, biting at and driving people about In fear, that ought to be fnuxaled or killed. But when a complaint la made there can be nothing dona till the dog bites soma one, because the tax is paid. I believe there ought to be an ordinance passed that would require the owner of a dog to keep It on his own premises, and when tha dog Is allowed to go off of the owner a property he should be muzaled or ohained, this at any and all tlmea of the year. I know of doga in this city that run at large and go into neighboring yards and onto porches, and tha people, do not dare go out of their own houses, for fear of being bitten. I am a friend of the dog and so am I of tha borae, but I don't want my nelghbor'a dog to lie on my porch or his horse to run on my lawn. I am willing that every cltl- en of Omaha ahould own a dog, but I don't want to take chances of being bitten by dog any more than I would want to tak the ehancea ot being run down by a horse. In accordance with Mrs. Josephine Rod ding's article, there may ba ho rabies, but there I danger. She elaima steaming the bite will take out the poison, but who wants to take chances on having to tak a Turkish bath every tlm they go down town? Tb PopU are up against it on th dog quesiion. w a arc not auowea to kill a dog, even If be chases us oft of our own property. If we do, and tha tag la paid en htm, we will have to pay for the dog, and be arrested for shooting Inside the city limits. I sm with the mayor in muss ling the dogs. Musxle all dogs running at large, and It the owner don't want hla dog mussled, let Lira keep him on his own premises, and any dog found off his owner's ! Drocerty without a muzile should h t.i.-. to th pound and hla owner fined. CITIZEN, Ballet Prf Ronaoa.

OMAHA, March To the Editor of Tha Bee: I have just come to Omaha to re aide, or to- make R my future home and am just about settled, but t suppose I will have to leave tha city, which I certainly would dislike to do, for I have a very dear little dog, a Fox terrier, that wouldn't hurt a flea. Rut ha will bark to tell me when any body comaa in tha house. Ha la a good little watch dog and will aiwaya tell when anyone come In that's strange, and I think It wicked to put a mussla on him and I never will. I would rather leava tha city than ba so Inhuman. It's cruel It's down right barbaric and enough to make any poor dog go mad. I wouldn't think of torturing It to death with a muxsle. I have a tag or license for my dog and that Is alt right.
