Ranger's Died of Fever.

Neb., March To the Editor In your {ssue of the 12th Inst made of the existenc the cattle of the of the alarm it created among raisers of that and adjoining writer's good fortune to past winter as a mem ber of the state corps of “farmers’ insti- tute' workers in the western c of that state and had an excellent opportunity to observe the condition of the stock, as well as hear the subject discussed by com- petent men in many localities. At the famous Hawley farm at Pittsford, Y., where a dairy of 140 registered Jersey cows was used in making a fancy brand of fine butter for special customers at high prices, we witnessed the testing of many of these cows by the state authorities for the presence of tuberculosis by means of hypodermically injecting fluld called “turberculine”—otherwise known as “Koch's lymph”—under the skin of the animal which caused the temperature of the diseased animal to rise from two to five degree in a few hours (it having no effect on a cow in good health). We also witnessed the post mortem examination of sgome of the animals thus condemned by the state inspectors in presence of Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal induatry. About 100 head of this dairy were condemned and killed. There is no doubt that the disease is not only present but prevalent in both New rk and in New England, and, perhaps exists in the cattle vell man in greater or less degree in m ates of the union. It is fair to conclude that where the disease affects the greate num- ber of the human family the will al-o be disease to a greater than in other states, Lwo re the climatic influences that riously affect man and renders him more susceptible to the dise has a similar effect upon the animal, and is a well established fact that the dis is often imunicated from the man to the animal and vice versa, This is the alarm- ing feature, I am told that the Board of Health of Ne York clty assert that o great number of children “die annually of consumption con- tracted from the germs of the disease c tained in the milk sold by dealers in the city, and many more in the same way take the germs into their systems ghat develop into fatal disease later in life. The thought- less consumptive, who spits on the fodder or floor of the feeding room of the dairy barn puts the germs of tuberculosis where they may be communicated to the co and they in turn become diseased and de posit the germs in their milk, which is con- sumed as food and recreates the dread dis- case in scores of human beings. The present general excitement in the castern and New England states is not aused by any sudden increase of tuberculo- sis in man or animal, but is the result of a knowledge suddenly acquired that the dis- ease is far more prevalent than was im- agined by the dairymen and stockmen of those states, This discovery was made pos- sible by and is the result of the use of the above described test, which is of compara- tively recent origin and has only been in use in this country a short time. ~Hundreds of cows that appear in perfect health and are pronounced sound by the most skilled veterinarians prove by this test to be badly discased. , It is not confined to the lungs, as many suppose, but may be located in almost any part of the body. Your correspondent was at the experiment station at Burlington, Vt and witnessed the slaughter and examination of a part of the station cows that had the appearance in life of being perfectly healthy and of robust and vigorous constitution, but were condemned by the ‘“tuberculine” test, and the post mortem revealed the fact that many of them were far advanced in the disea mostly of the lungs, but in others the lungs were sound. In one case in particular the lungs and vital organs ap- peared in such a healthy condition that it was at first thought that for once the test lad failed, but on further examination the was discovered in a considerable portion of one lobe of the udder. All but efght of this station herd responded to the “tuberculine’” test and the entire herd was destroyed and examined, and in every case the test proved correct. The New York state inspectors also tes- tity to its reliability. It is made both in Germany and in the United States at a considerable expense and furnished to the states at cost—requiring about 50c worth to test each animal. It is claimed that the germs of tubercu- losis are mever found in butter. Being heavier than cream, they remain in the skim milk, and where a separator is used they are largely caught in the albumen that coats the inside of the separator bowl in the act of skimming. In many of the eastern cities milk is put upon the market that has been sterilized by heating to 160 degrees and bottled while hot. This kills all germs, but renders the milk less palatable and may become less desirable as food for infants than natural milk in a healthy condition; besides, it is too expen- sive for the poorer classes. The steriliza- tion of milk after it reaches the city and then sold in common cans is not consid- ered practical, In the states west of the Missouri the air is so pure and bracing and the climate so Nealthful the inhabitants feel safe from tu- berculosis and hundreds of invalids from other states find permanent relief here. The writer believes that in this very condi- tion there Is great danger—that the germs ught by consumptive people from the are being communicated to our cattle and by them to our children, and if the con- ditions of our milk suply were as carefully investigated as that of the cities of New York we might be as greatly surprised as it There are 1,600,000 cows in the state of New York. It would cost at least $1 each to test these cows with “Tuberculine,” and if cent were found diseased and de- 1 and the state paid $25 per head in- demaity the expense to the state to clear the present generation of cows (not Includ- Ing the other cattle) would be $3,640,000. No wonder the legislature hesitate Would it not be wise for all states to adopt precautionary measures? D. P. e EACH WANTS THE OTHER'S GORE, Bloodthirsty Salvadorians Now clsco - Causes of Their SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.—Andres Amaya and Manuel Casin of Salvador, who have arrived In this city exiled by different political factions from their native land, where both were prominent men, are mortal enemies and nelther ventures forth unless well armed. The feud has existed between them for a long time and they have hitherto taken shots at each other and expect to do 50 ugain on sight. Casin, who left Salvador February 12, thought when he arrived here that he was out of reach of Amaya and other enemies, but to his surprise, on the evening of his arrival, he found the card of his enemy, Amaya, under his door, and in Central America the presentation of a card under such circumstances means a good deal. Amaya has been gencral collector of customs and Casin is the largest and richest dis- tiller of Salvador. Much of the trouble be- tween the two men grew out of the war in Salvador, they being on opposite sides, but Amaya stated today that while he was col- lector of revenues Casin wanted him to list liquors incorrectly in Casin's favor, and upon Amaya’s refusal to do so a fight ensued and animosity has existed ever since, GIBEON, 17 of The Bee mention tuberculosis New York the stock states, It was the spend six weeks the was of state in and inties in those states tle extent for inju it ase SHBURN. in San Fran- Will Make An KANSAS CITY, March 17.—The St. Louls & San Francisco railway, Santa Fe route, yesterday announced that March 19 it will make a limited one-way first-class rate from points fn Missouri and Kansas to St. Louls of $8, tickets good for continuous passage only on date of sale.

The defendants are the creditors of the failed firm who were preferred by means of chat tel mortgs and the plaintiffs alleged a conspiracy to defraud creditors who are not preferred creditor: The preferred creditors of Oliver & 0'Brien hold claims against the firm amount fng to $44500. According to the receiver ship suit these preferred creditors are N. V. Monarch company of Owensburg, Ky.; the Missouri National bank of Kansas City Robert S.

The plaintiff’s claim against Oliver & O'Brien grew out of the big scandal at Louisville two years ago, when it was dis- covered the country had been flooded with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of forged warehouse receipts. Oliver & O'Brien had been assigned some of the forged cemtificates and the Louis- ville Banking company drew them for the amount, but before the draft reached here the fraud was discovered and Oliver & O'Brien refused to pay.

NEW YORK, March 17.—In the city court suit has been begun by F. Marx to recover the value of a note for $500 given to plaintifft by Colonel Richard H. Savage and endorsed by his wife, Anna J. Savage. Mr. Marx is a California millionaire, now living in Burope, and he came into court only in a legal sense, being represented by big deposition and by his counsel, Thomas J. Rich. Through these mediums he sets forth that in 1888 or prior thereto, Colonel Richard Henry Savage, who is the author of “My Official Wife"” and other novels, was visiting with his wife the country home of the defendant in California. While there the colonel, who had not begun novel writ- ing and play writing, borrowed from the plaintift §500, giving his note therefor, his wife endorsing the note. Plaintiff pleaded that the note had never been paid, and asked for judgment for the amount, alleging that in spite of the fact that the statute of limi- tations had apparently run against the note it had not in fact, as the debt had been renewed or reincurred through recent ac- knowledgments by both Mr. and Mrs. Sav- age. This point of the legal renewal of tho obligation within the time (two years in California) when it would otherwise be out- wed was supported by letters which coun- sel for plaintiff procceded to read. In one letter Colonel Savage wrote to Mr. Mags that he would pay the note at once if he could get the fee due him In the Ryer di- vorce case. This was a famous San Fran- elsco divoree case, and Colonel Savage stated in his letter that’he expected a fee of from $12,000 to $20,000, but as yet it remained only an expectation. Colonel Savage acknowledged §$500 from the plaintiff under stances related in the Marx deposition. debt was owing when there came Francisco J. W. Graydon, late of the United States army, who is the inventor of the cable torpedo system which created a great deal of discussion a years ago. This system had been ful ited by Lieutenant in China_during the Franco-Chinese war of 1884-85. Colonel Savage met Lieutenant Graydon and made a contract with him for a half interest in the Russian rights in the cable torpedo patents in consideration of his (the defendant’s) e forts to sell the patent to the Russian goy- ornment. He was, it also happened, in a situation to exert peculiar and unusual in- fluence in Russian official circles, Mrs age’s daughter having married a nobleman who was, or had been, chamberlain in the cz household. The contract having been made, and Mr. Marx hearing of it, the latter expressed a great desire to obtain a share in Colonel Savage's interest. Thereupon the defendant agreed to share his profits equally with the plaintift it Mr Marx would advance $1,500 for the expenses of Mrs. Savage to St. Petersburg. Million- aire Marx accepted these terms and advanced the $1,500—that is $1,000 in cash and $500 in the shape of the debt to that amount owed to him by the defendant., Then Mrs. Suvage went to St. Petersburg. But her nego- tiatlons there came to naught. Savage claims_that one-half the $1,000 drawn by Mrs. Savage is legally chargeable to Mr. Marx. Judge Conlan did not pass on the equity of Colonel Savage's counter clalm, but or- dered the case dismissed on the ground that the note on which the action was based was clearly outlawed, under the California stat- ute, and not sufficient proof had been made that the obligation had been legally removed, the friendly letters between the parties not constituting a legal obligation. 2L ) ARMY A FIZZLE, borrowing the circum- That to San FRYE City Council and Other Bodies Took the Wind Out of the Soldiers' Sils.

Percival contempt case. DBoth Percival and the fun failed to materialize, however, and the sheriff reported that he had been unable to get service upon the defendant. The judge insisted that he should be found and gave the sheriff until 10 o'clock Monday morning, with the information that if he could not get him into court by that time he would devise some plan which would reach him. Attorney Simeral promised that Mr. Percival would be on hand at that time tnd the crowd melted away. Attorneys 1. W. Simeral and E. R.
