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.

In some cases, where th's is desired,' Mr. ' Spiking will sell the flowers to those who wish to dtcf rate their own cars or he will decorat. cars according to Instructions from the owners. He has decorated more than. 3,000 cars In the ' course of his experience In this line - ' : The manner of decorating does not seriously Interfere with the use of the car before and after the parade, for the entire decorations, it Is said, can be removed from the car in about thirty minutes after the parade. v..

By the new plan 'of attaching decora tions to the cars it requires less than four'' hours for even an amateur to decorate his own car, and it in no way Injures or disfigures the car.

" 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.

"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.
