rUBERoULosIs REPORT.
Official Statement Regarding the
Slaughter of Cattle at Manhattan.

Manhattan. Oct. 28-The official re-
port of the recent tests made by Experts
James Low, F. \. Geddes and Paul
Fischer on tuberculosis cattle at the
State Agricultural college has peeh
made public 1t follows:
ITO the Regents of the Kansas state
Agricultural College: As appointed 70
advise in the matter Of tuberculosis IN
the herd of the Kansas State AgrIcul-
tural college. we beg to report as fol-
lows. We find that the herd has been
subjected to two successive tests with
tubeTculin, once in January and once
in October, 1897. Fourteen reacted on
both occasions. We had these fourteen
animals killed and found in each of
these unmistalIab bic LESSONS of tuber-
cuiosis. There were in every case ad-
Nanced LESSONS of old standing. and IN
the ma jOrity of the cases these were
very extensive. We also slaughtered
and examined the Hereford bull, Col
lege Beau Real, which had failed to re-
act under the tuberculin test, but which
suffered from the severe Wheeling,
caused by a swelling in the throat. We
found the two pharyngeal glands en-
OrmOusly enlarged and with many cen
tiers of sOftening. the whole evidently
of tuberculous nature
I'VE also slaughtered two unthrifty
calves which had abnOTmauy high tenn
peratures previous to the application
of the tuberculin test but which did not
react, and we found no unequivOcal ev-
idence Of the tuberculosis.
Three calves were sick at the time
of the test and could not be subjected
to it. They remain, therefore. without
proof of sOundness but with the strong
est presumption in their favor OF free
dom from tuberculosis, seeing that
calves are very rarely born diseased
and that the oldest OF these is under
months of age These could be re-
tanned and tested with the COW Gen
teel II.
The yards may be thoroughly
cleaned and sprinkled with a solution
of bichloride of mercury. the surface
earth having been removed
The woodwork of the basement of
the barn should be torn out and burned
the surface soil removed and the whole
disinfected with bichlOride of mercury
solution In the case Of the double
flooring and walls on the main floor.
the upper layer should be removed and
the bich.Oride of mercury solution
should be applied to all parts All

therefore be sold fat subject to inspec-
ton a slaughter.

SHE IS MISS rHRALL.
Woman So Often Seen on the SAINTS
Fe Surrounded by Children.

There are few regular travellers on
the Santa F'e that have noticed a tall,
angular lady, with gray hair and an
expansive smile, always dressed in
black, who travels almost continuously
children with a boy or two for good
measure over whom she hOvers with a
nervous anxiety that amuses passen-
gers who often wonder who she is and
where she is going with the little tots
that cling about her.
She is Miss Thran of Wichita, a wo-
man whose life is devoted to philan-
thrOpy. The lonesome little people al
ways with her are orphans she has
gathered up in the cities and larger
towns of Kansas and Oklahoma and is
distributing in Christian homes to be
properly reared and educated. She is
the active worker of the ChiIdrens
Home Society of Kansas and is doing
vast amount of good in rescuing friend
less children and securing them homes,
which she prefers to asylums.
Her unselfish life, and charitable
work is recognized by the Santa Fe
who provide her with an annual pass
on their road for herself and her or
phans thus making it possible for her
to prosecute her rescue work.
Miss Thrau complains bitterly that
eastern states and cities are sending
many of their homeless waits to Kan
sas to be provided for, when scarcely
enough good homes can be found in
the state for our own homeless child

for the benefit of the pub library.
Fifty per cent of the reven he derived
from dog licenses is given to the city
