Colonel Samuel A. Macallister, OF this
city. Is probably one OF the best known
Of these survivors. He is keenly inter
ested ia the project Of marking the
position where 2S6 Delawareans fell and /
will, In conjunction with others, en-

a suitable monument.
The Tuberculosis Scare.
Anthrax and tuberculosis, which have |
been very quiet for nearly two years, |
may take a notion to come out again this |
Spring. Two years ago, when there was
a Farmers Institute movement on foot
TO secure a state veterinarian and the
slaughter of all affected animals at the
expense of the state, so much was heard
OF these dreadful diseases that the
Legislators could neither enjoy their
milk nor beefsteak. The agitation ended
10 nothing being done.
This year there Is some talk that the
General Assembly viii be asked to estab-
lish State Live Stock Sanitary Commits
sion, the duties OF which will be to pre-
vent the spread Of tuberculosis and other
contagious diseases among animsls.
There is already such a movement
afoot In Pennsylvania, and the act has
been outlined. II provides for the
destruction OF infected animals to be
paid for by the state after sppralsement
at rates not to exceed $50 per head for
unregistered cattle, $40 for those
registered and $50 for a glandered horse
or mule. No animal or animals found to
be infected with contagion within ninety
days after having been brought from
another state shall be paid for, but must
/ be destroyed Just the same. A hne OF
| $i00 or Imprisonment for one month, or
| both, is imposed for Interference with
the commissioners and officers while they
are discharing their duties. Several
months will intervene between the time
OF the pass ge Of the act and the time II
will so into effect. This will enable the
| Pennsylvanians to unload their diseased
live stock on the adjoining states and
Delaware will probably get her proper
tionate share
