was only horse. 1t was bitten by a
mad dog three weeks ago, but no ill
effects were felt until the other morn
ing, when a violent and unmistakablc
attack of hydrophobia seized the un
fortunate sufferer. After working with
him for several hours the attending
physician gave up all hopes and ordered
that he be knocked on the head with a
sledge-hammer. While the victim was
only a horse, the manifestations of the
disease were strange and terrible.
His whole head was skinned and LAGER
ated from the fearful blows he had given
it in daShing it against the sides of the
stall. 1t was well developed and well
defined case of hydrophobia, there could
be no doubt about that.
1t is a rare disease among horses.
Veterinarians say it was the first au-
thentic case they had seen in Allegheny
county in 25 years. 1t is just as hor-
rible and fatal as to men-even more
horrible and terrifying, in fact, be-
cause of the great size and strength of
the animal. The mad struggles of the
insane beast were something frightful
and pitiful. 1t is to be hoped another
quarter of century will pass before
the doctors get their second case. They
say the mad plungings, even while
blindfolded, were caused by fright at
the horrible images conjured by the
brain of the poor, mad animal.

SEARCHING FOR BURIED WHISKY
Wreck of the Eldora, Sunk Fifty Years
Ago, Believed to BE Located.

The residents of Elk Point, S. D., some
distance north of Sioux City, Ia, are al
ready smacking their lips in anticipa-
ton of the rich find of whisky which
they expect to make on the buried
steamer Eldora, which was scutued and
sunk while on fire near that place on its
way from st. Louis to Fort Benton
nearly so years ago. After the steamer
was sunk the channel of the Missouri
river changed, leaving the wreck buried
in bar on the Dakota side. Several at
tempts have been made to raise it in the
hope of finding the cargo of whisky, but
until recently these efforts invariably
ended in failure. A party now at work
has recently found fragments of the
boat, however, among them 600 feet of
rope, box of hinges and few packages
of merchandise. The searchers expect
to locate the whisky in the course of the
next few DAYS.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF X RAY.
BY Its Aid Patient at Lawrence, Kan,
Is Successfully Operated On.

A special application of the Roentgen
rays in surgery was made by Prof. Blake
at Lawrence, Kan, the other day in his
laboratory at the state university. Two
surgeons from western Kansas brought
to Lawrence young man who had had
his leg fractured by falling from a
horse in January last. The leg had re-
fused to knit and a running sore kept
the calf swollen to twice its natural
size, and he could not use the limb.
The injured man was laid on the work
table in the laboratory. A large photo
graphic plate in plate-holder was
placed under the inhamed part. Above
this was suspended one of Prof. Frank
Inns tubes, in which the Roentgen rays
were generated by high potential cur
rent of about half million volts. The
current was turned on and the plate ex-
posed seven minutes. When the plate
was developed it showed that a Sec
ton of the tibia or skin-bone was blank.
The surgeons administered an an
aesthetic and cut into the flesh while
the man was still lying on the work
table. They found that the X rays
had truthfully reproduced the exact
condition of the bone. A two-inch sec
ton of it was gone, and for that reason
the bone could not knit. The ply
sicians who took the young man to the
university had just been called into the
case and did not treat it when the ac-
cident happened. They think that that
piece of bone was splintered off by the
fall and had been gradually absorbed.

Red Mans Medicine.

The Indian pharmacopoeia comprised
thoroughwort, spurge and Indian
hemp, used as emetics; the bark of the
horse chestnut and butternut, used as
caUhartics. They were also acquainted
with many poisons, most of which they
used OF their weapons. For asthma
they employed tobacco and sassafras;
for coughs, slippery elm; for dropsy,
the wild gooseberry; for wounds, pow
dered puff balls. They treated boils
with onion poultices.

MORE PLACES THAN MEN.
Number of Graduates from Naval Academy
Not Sufficient to Fill Vacancies.


Not Sufficient to Fill Vacancies.
A New York Times special from
Washington says: The siX-year men
from the Naval academy will getplaces
this year. The probability is that there
will be more places than men to fill
them. For several years it has been
necessary, under the law, to dismiss
a number of graduates with a years
pay because there was no room for
them in the service. The vacancies are
not caused by an unusual number of
deaths or designations, but by the re-
tirement of young cAicers for disabil-
ity.
There are now 10 vacancies in line,
IS in the engineer corps and one in the
marine corps. The class about to be
graduated numbers SO. A percentage
will probably fail, but it is believed
that there will be at least so candidates
for from As to AZ vacancies. After the
qualified members of the graduating
class have been provided with places,
the vacancies not filed will remain
open to be filled next year.
Already it is apparent that the quota
for the engineers will not be filled, and
Engineer Melville, who has been very
solicitnus about the prospect for main
tanning the efficiency of the corps of
which he is the head, is of the opinion
that the number of cadets should be
larger or that assistant engineers
should be admitted from some OF the
+acbnical schools

appellate court handed down Tuesday.
Sept. 20. The use Of money in cam
paigns for the purpose of influencing
voters will practically be done away
with, as the person unscrupulous
enough to sell his vote can accept
proposition and then turn around and
sue for and recover the statutory limi-
tation, $500, from the man who attempts
to debauch the ballot by purchasing his

Those who handle the money will be
very careful not to pay $500 for votes, as
they would be very expensive at this
price.
The decision Of the appellate court,
as written by Judge Ross. was given in
the case Of Charles Thompson vs. the
state on the part Of John Mckinney.
! The case was sent from Knox to Gibson
county on change Of venue and there
tried, and an appeal was taken to the

Mrs. Phipps did not oppose the divorce.
She wanted to be rid of Phipps a great
deal moro than he did OF her. but she
intended to have the child. The first day
of the trial the spectators were few. The
testimony was quiet and il was not gen.

crowd packed the courthouse and swarmed
about the windows on the outside. It got
about that Mrs. Phipps intended to open
q masked battery on the character and

and women went to see how the women
jurors would stand it.

UNHAPPY WOMEN ON A JURY.
A Dakota Judges Experiment in d.
vorce Case.

From The New York World.
Seven South Dakota women are wonder
ine, whether the ballot is worth the price
of Jury duty They have just helped render
a verdict in the Phipps divorce case after
what is called "a spicy trial" This is the
first case of the kind in which women Ju-
rors have ofiiciated.
Their verdict invalidatcs the idea that
women are preiudiccd against their own
sox in divorce suits. Mrs. Phipps, although
the defendant. was granted the divorce and
cusfodv of the tkEd Six of the jury wo-
Ynan were s.aid matrons. The seventh was
\ very pretty and fashionable society girl
Aside from the unpleasant character Of
Tho evidence. their chief cause of complaint
was the hard benches.
When the suit of Aaron Phipps against
his wife, Jane, came W on the calendar

rinent He instructed the sheriff to sum-

Of Clear Lake for jury duty Mr.. Aaron

Of incompatibility. and it seemed good
chance to test the judicial genius Of wo-
man.
Seven Of the twelve women summoned
were accented. Mrs. r. C.. Peterson was
anxious 10 serve but unfortunately re-
marked during her examination that Mrs.
Phipps was right in every particular and
