"UNCLE SAM" WANTS $4,000.
He Is After the State for That Amount for
Killing His Cows


Killing His Cows.
Uncle Sam Houston is still after the
state to get something out of it for the
killing of thirty eight of his fine COWS a
year or more ago under the preteXt
that they were troubled with tuber-
culosis and therefore dangerous TO the
health of the community to which Mr..
Houston sold milk and to other COWS.
He had Assemblyman John F. Rey-
nolds present a bill to the legislature
appropriating $4,000 to him for those
COWS. Thursday afternoon there was
a hearing on the bill before the joint
committee on claims. G. E. Estabrook,
the Milwaukee lawyer, appeared for
Mr.. Houston. Mr.. Estabrook said that
herd was one of the most valuable in
the state, being blooded cattle. He
said that the state veterinarian had not
done the right thing. The animals
killed looked to be in perfect health,
and the test made by the state officer
was wholly inadequate. The proper
thing was to isolate the COWS if they
were infected with disease, %<and not to
kill them.
Mr. Houston told the story of the
killing, detailing his experience with
DR.. j. L. Scott and the test made to
learn if any of the animals were diseased.
The cattle had been forty-one hours
without water and twenty one hours
without food when the examination was
made. Thirty eight of the cows were
condemned. Mr.. Houston said that the
killing of his cattle had left him with
out anything to make a living with,
and he thought it no more than right
that he should see to it that he is
remunerated.
Chairman Baxter said that it struck
him that it was properly case against
the state veterinarian, if that officer
had not made an adequate test. An
other hearing on the bill will be held
next Wednesday, when Dr. Scott will
appear and present his side of the case

II one is not original enough to do

Women and Life Insurance.

1t Is not so very many years ago that
certain life insurance companies re-
fused to issue policies upon the lives
of women. The difficulties in the way
of a satisfactory examination, the per-
lis of maternity and the numerous
nervous disorders to which the sex Is
liable, were considered sufficient reasons
to put them on the prohibited list.
Experience has, however. demonstrated
that the views of these companies were
not based upon facts. AS a matter OF
fact, whatever advantage there is in the
matter Of longevity lies with women,
and not with men. In 1891 a census
was taken in London among twenty
one centenarians, of whom sixteen were
women and five were men. A group OF
southern counties in England at the
same census exhibited sixty-six centen-
arians. of whom forty-three were wom-
en- and twenty-three were men. A GEN.
sus of centenarians taken. in France in
1895 showed 213 persons who had at
tanned the age of 100, and of those 213,
147 were women and only Sc were men.
The United States census of 1896 gave
1881 persons who had reached one hun

the multitudinous accidents incident to
the pursuits of men. They escape not
only the perils of hunting and rough
out-of-door sports that overtake many
men, but are comparatively exempt
from the devastating effects of the ex.
cessive use of alcohol. which is the in.
direct, II not the direct, cause of the
early death of a large percentage of the
other sex. In addition to all the varl.
GUS causes Of death from which the
more sheltered lives Of women protect
them, they are almost entirely free
from business worries and troubles
which bring in their train the innum-
cradle nervous diorders that under-
mine and destroy the constitutions Of
SO many city men.

The members of the Boys Club will have
q dinner to-day at noon at their rooms on
Court street. A feast has been prepared by
the board of managers and their friends.
A special dinner was served yesterday at
the Young Womens Christian Association
rs the noon lunch rooms will not be open
to-day. The patrons of the lunch rooms
now average 10. The dinner yesterday was
one for Thanksgiving day. There is now a
large attendance in all of the educational
classes. Miss Florence Day has taken the
class in English since Miss Mayo has been
i'll. Already the rooms are becoming crowd
ed with the many lines of Christian, educa-
tional and social studies that are carried on
there.
Each pupil in the public schools con-
tributed something yesterday, if nothing
more than one potato or an apple, and the
result was wagonloads of everything good
fer "a Thanksgiving dinner. A number of
the children contributed pennies, which will
be used for buying some articles. The vege-
tables, fruits, meats and nuts will be dis
tributed to the free kindergartens and to
families. The autumn festival as it was
called, at No. 4 school was profitable and
interesting. Many parents and other Wis
itors attended. Each room was appro-
priately decorated and appropriate exer-
cises were given. The upper grades united
in the hall and listened to an address by
Mr.. H. Russo president Of the School
Board. Similar exercises were held in all
the schools.

HOME MISSION FUNDS
DIR. JOHN l.. WITHROW APPOINTS
THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF FIVE.
VIII Probably Meet in This City in
March-Lines Upon which 1t
VIII Make Its Report.

Governor Mount yesterday received let
ter from DR.. John L. Withrow of Chicago,
chairman of the special committee of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, which met in this city two weeks
ago for the purpose of considering and har-
monizing the different plans of collecting
and distributing home mission funds. 1t
will be remembered that this committee
laid down by resolution general lines IA
voring local autonomy as far as possible,
and at the same time declaring the great
usefulness of the Home Mission Board and
authorizing its chairman, DR.. Withrow, to
appoint a subcommittee of five, of which
he should be one, to confer with sirillar
committee from the board and formulate
report to be presented to the full commit
tee and, if approved by it, to go to the
General Assembly. The other four mem
bers of the committee are: DR.. Samuel j.
Nichols of st. Louis; DR.. John Dixon, of
New Jersey; Judge Victor l.. Lane, of
Michigan and Governor Mount. This sub
committee will meet in March, probably in
this city, and confer with the boards COM
mittee. AS soon as it has formulated its
report the full committee will be called:
The subcommittee was evidently selected
with great care. 1t contains three minis
tiers and two laymen. 1t contains cham
pions of both the Eastern and Western
plans, and the other members are fair and
conservative men. competent to look at the
matter solely in its relation to the best in
terests of the church and the furtherance
of it's home mission work. The following
declarations by the full committee will
serve as basis for the subcommittee re-
port:
81 Local administration is desirable
wherever practicable.
20 There should be a recognition of the
unity of the work throughout the church.
That is to say, the synods and presbyteries
should be in entire harmony with the gen
eral plan of the national board and there
should be no conflict in work undertaken.
49, There should be a sufficient sum
guaranteed to the national board to guard
it against loss and to admit of its work
being carried on in the broad spirit in which
it was conceived"
A resolution was adopted expressing great
sympathy with the National Board of Home
Missions in it's financial difficulties, and
pledging the influence of the members of
the committee in their various synods to its
assistance.
