HYpRorHoB1A WEST OF THE RIVER.

Editor Register: AS there have
been many reports circulated about
the prevalence of hydrophobia among
the stock in this neighborhood, plain
statement of the facts in the case may
be of interest.
Sometime in October, 1887 a mad
dog was killed few miles south west
of Neosho Falls, but not until several
other dogs and some stock was bitten.
Later In the month another one made
bis appearance few miles south east
of Neosho Falls, visiting several of my
neighbors, and was also killed. In
due time my dog went mad and died,
before we suspected the hydrophobia.
but not until several head of stock, been
bitten. About that time cattle began
to 60 mad and die. Since then other
dogs have gone mad and been killed.
On Christmas day very large bull
Of two thousand pounds weight, went
mad with hydrophobia and died soon
after. Before We had him buried. an
other steer took it and died. making in
all three for me. every one Of which
died on the fifth day after the first
symptoms. One neighbor lost four
cattle. Another lost several head of
hogs and some cattle.
Some of the symptoms of this disease
as shown by an animal when first TAX
it are a. follows: First, refusing to eat
and profuse slobbering from the mouth.
Second, q vicious inclination to fight
every thing In its way. About the
third day the animal will commence
to bawl, aud bawls necessarily until it
dies. never showing any signs of weak
ness (as In other diseases) to the last.
I hope my sad experience and these
suggestions may tend to warn others
and thus prevent the spread of Hydro
phobia In our country.

TERRA GOTTA LUMBER.

There was considerable talk at one
time about establishing terra Gotta
lumber factory at this place. 1t was
found that we had inexhaustible beds
of clay admirably suited to the manu-
facture of this article while our other
facilities were unsurpassed. We trust
the idea will not be abandoned as we
thoroughly believe that the establish
ment of such a factory here would be
of immense benefit to the town besides
paying large dividends to its owners.
The Kansas City Journal, referring to
the extensive use of terra Gotta lumber
in that city, says:
The erection of the many fire proof
structures In this city has created an
enormous demand for terra Gotta lum-
Der, and the factory..which started near
the end of 1885, has been worked to its
fullest capacity In order to partially
supply the demand.
A careful estimate of the amount of
terra Gotta lumber manufactured and
sold in this city during the past year
places it at 1900, 600 feet, or about
Ii, 600 tons. This substance has been
heretofore manufactured for fire proof
business structures, but during the
past year there were many dwelling
houses built Of terra Gotta lumber and
its cheapness and absolute safety from
fire, will. undoubtedly, soon bring 1t
into more general use.
In fire proof business structures this
material is admirably adapted to build
ing fiat arches and partition walls. 1t
is made for these uses in hollow tile,
porous, hence light in weight, and q
non conductor of heat and sound, and,
being of burnt clay, is absolutely in
combustible.:

Of nearly 60 per cent during the

controlled the paper. Remembering
that the population Of the county dur

than four per cent. and that it has
three more papers now than then. We

pardonable.

THE STRIKE IS STILL ON.
A Secret Circular Issued by the
Brotherhood of Engineers Re-
gaPding the "O' Trouble.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. ga local paper
publishes what is claimed to be copy of
a secret circular issued by the Brother
hood of Engineers at Aurora, Ill. The
circular claims that the Burlington
strike is still on and the men are as firm
as ever; that the wrecks are numerous
and are causing great loss to the Bur-
1lngton company, who conceal fIom the
public all particulars; that the COM
pany is anxious for the return to work
OF the strikers, and that overtures have
been made recently TO many of them
to return. Continuing. the circular
says: I'VE must not think of
ever giving up this fight, for
1t is not long before winter will be upon
US. and then they will have to come to
us, or have their road sink into the
hands of receiver" The circular
says the road is doing but so per cent
OF Its business, and that with poor sue
cess, and asks what it will do in bad
wintry weather with the force at its
command. 1t denies that many of the
men have sought work elsewhere, and
declares the men too confident of win
ming to do SO. 1t expresses great hopes
of the good results of the next conyen-
ton, and that there will be federation
OF ''the four B's." The circular ap-
peals TO each man to do his duty; ex-
hortS them to not become discouraged,
and concludes with an appeal for money
TO help the firemen, with whom it says
money is very short.
