Banking Service We want you to become acquainted with _the fact that we have one of the best equipped banks in the country, and it is officered by GERM OF HORSE PLAGUE SOUND Discovered by Scientists of Kansas at Hoxie Experiment Station. KNOWN IN GERMANY 25 YEARS Never Before Recognized in This Country—Tests in Field Station Now to Find Curative Serum. -Hoxie, Kan., Sept. 18—The germ that causes the disease in horses which is sweeping Kansas, Nebraska and.other states has been found by the scientists of the Kansas agricul- tural college, who are working in a field station here. It is a germ new to the bacteriologists of this country and, as yet, has been only temporarily classified as a germ of the pasteurella group. The story of how the germ was found is an interesting one at this time, especially as it is the first time it has been found in this country, and the discovery is doubly important be- cause it definitely fixes the horse plague as Borna’s disease, a kind of cerebro-spinal meningitis, well known in Germany the last 25 years, but nev- er before recognized in this country. It also emphasizes the uselessness of all the hundreds of so-called remedies which have been recommended by different persons. Found in all Dead Horses. Soon after the horse plague began to spread the Kansas agricultural col- lege in Manhattan established a field station in Hoxie to study the disease. In the first post mortem of a horse that had died of the disease Dr. Has- lam found some organisms he had never seen before, and in the first seven post mortems of diseased horses he and Dr. Jackley, working inde- pendently on the same cases, found the same strange organism. “waving found this germ in each of the seven horses we examined that had died of this plague” said Dr. Has- lam, “we decided it was the cause of the disease. And I may add that we found in all the diseased horses we have examined since. “We then decided to try out a bac- terin therapy and see if horses could be vaccinated and immunized against this germ, and if so, if they would be free from the disease afterward. _ Still Seeking a Preventive. So far the tests at the field station in Hoxie have not gone far enough to prove anything definite enough to war- rant the scientists in recommending the bacterin treatment. They are now using it, however, upon a large number of horses. The fact that 16 of the horses de- veloped the disease after vaccination, and that all but two of them recov- ered, is taken to indicate that the bac- terin treatment is effective, as the percentage of recoveries ordinarily is only about 10 per cent. “But,” says Dr. Haslam, “we claim nothing yet. We claim only that what we are doing is the only logical thing | to do in an effort to find a preventive ; for this disease.” i Body of Aged Man Discovered on Bed | In Burned Farmhouse Near Ransomville. Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 18.—When three neighbors reached the stone farm- house of William Marks, near Ran- somville, at 1:30 o'clock in the morn- ing to check a fire which they had dis- covered there, the body of Mr. Marks was found on the bare bedsprings, the bed clothing having been burned from under it. Mr. Marks, who was 76 years old, lived alone in the house. A son and a daughter live within a few miles on other farms, The son, Wi!- Mam Marks, Jr., called on his father early !n the evening and was the last one known to have seen his father. The body was so badly burned that it is impossible to determine whether Mr. Marks may have been shot and the house set fire to cover the crime. OSAGE OIL LANDS TO BE LEASED Bids to be Received in Washington on Tract of 100,000 Acres in Oklahoma. MEN, not by icebergs or mossbacks. We want your business and are in a position to give you prompt and courteous service. LET OUR BANK BE YOUR BANK. PEOPLES BANK Butler, Mo. “The Bank on Which You Can Always Bank.”” Washington, Sept. 18—Bids for leases upon 100,000 acres of oil lands belonging to the Osage Indians will be opened November 2 in Oklahoma. It will be the first tract of 100,000 acres of Osage oil lands opened to lease. A big oil company recently bid for 200,000 acres, but its offer was rejected on the ground that there was no competition. Any bid will be accepted for 25,000 acres or less from any one company, provided it is not a transporter of oil under the interstate commerce com- mission’s ruling as to common car- riers. Reward Bravery in Army. Washington, Sept. 18.—Secretary of | the Treasury MacVeagh awarded a gold medal of honor to Private Henry Hanson, company F, sixth infantry, for extraordinary courage and endur- ance in ‘saving the lives of a party of comrades who had capsized in a sail- boat on Lake Lanao, Mindanao, Philip- pines, January 28 last. PARLIAMENT OPENS WITH HUNGARIANS SHOW MARKED FACTIONAL FEELING. Efforts of President to Restore Order Unavailing—Free Fight Nar- rowly Averted. Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 18.—The opening session of the Hungarian par- Nament was marked by a wild out- burst of factional feeling which only was prevented from becoming a free fight through the intervention of party leaders, The uproar began as soon as Count Stephen Tisza, the president of the lower house entered the chamber. He was received with cries of derision and abuse, mingled with hissing and whistling. The president. treated the opposition outburst with indifference, but all his efforts to restore order were unavailing. His calls for atten- tion only caused the disorder to break out with renewed violence. Not a word could be heard in the chamber or in the press gallery above the or- ganized din. The royal decree opening the ses- sion was read without anybody hear- ing a word of it and it was followed by what looked likely to develop into a free fight, An opposition member tauntingly asked a deputy of the governmental party whether he had his revolver with him. That almost started a riot and the members were about to come to blows when Count Julius Andrassy and the other leaders intervened and separated the deputies who had threatened each other. The tumult, however, continued. Only a few spectators were in the chamber and neither police nor military forces ap- peared, although disorder had been anticipated. Snowfall in Montana. Billings, Mont., Sept. 18.—Three inches of snow fell in eastern Mon- tana, It melted in a few hours, The frost damaged crops seriously in the Big Horn valley. : eel TUESDAY'S BASE BALL RESULTS National League.
