MAD DOGS APPEAR
EARLYTHIS YEAR
State Health Department Urges
Killing Worthless Animals as
a War Measure and for
Protection.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 24. (Special.) The
appearance of mad dogs in several
parts of the state before the usual
time has caused the state department
of health to issue a bulletin calling
attention to the condition. It offers
the following instructions and infor
mation regarding the disease:
1. The treatment is entirely of a
preventive nature. There is no hope
after the disease begins to maifest
itself.
2. The department is very crowded
with work, still each examination re
quires the greater part of a day, there
fore we cannot make very many.
3. The people of the state are striv
ing to conserve, food and we cannot
see where anything is to be gained by
feeding the enormous number of
worthless dogs.
4. The cost of the preventive treat
ment is considerable.
5. This disease has been reported
around Lincoln and we have heard of
several dogs having been killed in
Lincoln because of suspected rabies.
It has been reported that a mad dog
outside of Omaha bit several animals
and caused other damage.
We would therefore ask the people
of the state, particularly in cities
around which this disease has already
shown itself, that they destroy worth
less dogs.

Colonel Settle Detailed
To Army Post in the South
Colonel Settle, formerly in com
mand of Fort Crook, last night left
Omaha for a southern army post of
which he will be in command. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Settle. Col
onel and Mrs. Settle made a host of
friends in Omaha.
No one has yet been detailed to take
Colonel Settle's command at Fort
Crook. Major Severson is next in
