held her until the firemen raised lad
der and rescued her. The scenes at

building to escape were Witnessed by a
throng of thousands which quickly
gathered in the neighboring thorough
fares. j. S. Robinson, who has
an office in the building
was quite seriously burned in the face
and hands while making his way out.
Ii. Barton Lindley, an employe of the
Chicago Tribune, was loudly cheered by
the crowd when he emerged from the

arms. Mr.. Lindley, ST., is T5 years old,

THE TEXAS FEVER TICK
Is What Does the Harmful Business
SAYS SecreIary Moore.

Is What Does the Harmful Business
Says Secretary Moore.
At the meeting of the state live stock
sanitary commission today the rules for
1896 will be adopted in regard to quaran-
tine. These rules are effective from
February 1st to December LIST. During
December and January they are lifted.
At the morning meeting, at the in
stance Of Mr.. Moore. secretary, the mat
ter of quarantine against infection from
what Is known as the Texas fever tick
was discussed.
II find" said Mr. Moore, SHAT at NAL
vern IN Usage county and at Summerset
in Miami county, trains loaded with
Texas cattle stopped sidings for a
considerable length of time. Since the
cattle cars are open-and they could not
well be otherwise-and the last board at
the side OF the car does not come down
to the floor by perhaps an inch. it
leaves a little leeway for the cattle
to scatter litter on the ground
and this litter contains so much OF
the Texas fever tick that it infected the
cattle driven to and from over the track
at this place and almost destroyed all of
the cattle in that community by Texas
fever. This thing occurred several years
ago at Wellsville in Franklin county.
Now. what | suggest is that the rail-
road companies be compelled to seal
bASL Cdtt1S cars IOr ulStduC0 OI Two
feet up the sides and ends to prevent this
litter and these ticks from working out"
but If we compel the companies to do
that" said Mr.. Brown, there will be a
great roar and they will retaliate by
raising their rates of transportation"
THAT may be true" said Mr. Moore,
"but even then it is the only means see
of stopping the spread of Texas fever in
our state from that cause"
81 think that is very good point
said Mr.. johnson, "and we will discuss
it further this afternoon"
