Circular About Smallpox.

The following circular has been
issued by the State B oard of Health:
Smallpox is spreading throughout
the state to an extent not equaled
since 1898. The disease now ex-
exists in eight counties in Indiana,
and there are many centers of in
fection. There are also very pro-
badly many concealed and unrecog-
nized cases. No county can rea-
sonably expect to remain free from
this loathsome disease, as vaccina-
has been greatly neglected for a de-
cade or more, and vaccination is our
only sure protection.
1.-The State Board therefore recon-
mends vaccination and re-vaccin-
alton. Health officers will publish
this recommendation and add their
their own advice to the same effect.
Glycerine lymph only should be
used for vacclnating, and the opera.
tiCn done in an aseptic manner.
No outward results will follow if
this care is taken. In case small
pox appears, isolation, quarantine
and vaccination of the afflicted and
the exposed must Immediately fol-
low. Guards must be employed to
maintain quarantine, and outside of
cities and incorporated towns the
trustees must furnish
the needed supplies. Domicillary
quarantine should not be depended
upon in cities and towns"

Farmers Should Think Gov. Mount Says.

AT the Thursdays session of the
state board Of commerce the report
OF the committee on agricultural re-
sources, by Alexander Johnson,
recommends scientific farming
Tie dwelt on the former fertility of
Indiana soil, now seemingly ex
hausted, and now in need of legis-
lative consideration. The com
plant of men who claim that "there
Is nothing in farming was attribui-
ed to laziness, and that, instead OF
utilizing what was provided him, he
employed chemical fertilizers; and
instead of scientific farming, he
would read Ayers almanac to find
the changes OF the moon, which tells
him when to 90 to work. The report
strongly favored teaching agricul-
ture in schools, and, although the
measure was defeated in the two
last legislatures, similar bill will
be urged on the next in 1901. The
paper was followed by a discussion,
led by Gov. Mount. He gave a
short sketch Of his boyhood DAYS.
He said that, until he went to war,
his father had given him but 40
cents, and that was to pay expenses
at the county fair. Intense study
OF agriculture he begun when a boy
and has never ceased. His paper
urged falmer to study the science
OF their calling; to care for their
their property better and watch
with Jealous care that the soil is uot
permitted TO deteriorate.
Farmers, he said, ''ignore
science of markets and blindly fol-
low immediate impulse
Then he said
in the spring Of 1891, corn
reached the high price of IS cents
a bushel. Following this high
priced corn, in the fall of 81 hogs
sold as low as S272 per hundred.
Blind to the probable supply Of
corn and the demand for hogs in
1892, farmers reduced their herds,
mary even quitting the business.
To the sagacious farmer, this point
ed to a shortage in 1892.
To the agricuturalist whose broad
view looked to the science control
ling prices, there appeared new
factors TO be considered. The en-
barge on American pork which had
excluded it from Germany aud 9TH
er foreign counties, was lifted by
our meat inspection laws, passed to
satisfy those countries as to the
healthfulness Of our pork, aud there
by we regained these lost markets.
Thus in 1891 could be seen two
factors that would be operative in
1892, viz. short supply and increas-
ed demand. When these things
were pointed out in farm institutes,
the pessimistic farmer replied,
That all sounds we'll, but it doesn't
help the feller selling his hogs at
1915 a hundred, to which the re-
tort was made, No, nothing can
help the man who will not study
he law governing markets
These pessimistic farmers felt
ike kicking themselves when, dur
ng the winter of 1892, hogs reached
n Chicago S. per hundred.

NOT LIABLE FOR SALVAGE.

Atlas Company Wants the Govern
ment to Pay for Saving the AduIa.
The Atlas Steamship Company filed in
the United States Court yesterday its an
swer to the petition of the White Star
Towing Company asking salvage for pre-
serving the steamship Adula from destruc-
ton by fire. The Adula was the prize
vessel which was taken to New York by
the United States marshal for sale and
whose destruction by fire. while lying at
the German-American piers, was mar
rowly averted by the exertions of the tug
Golden Rod, of the White Star Companys
fleet The White Star company sled It's
claim for salvage against the Atlas
Steamship Company, the owners of the
Adula, and to whom her custody had been
committed, pending the trial of the prize
case in the Supreme Court of the United
States, where it has been taken on APP
peal.
The answer of the Atlas company re-
pudiates its liability for a salvage, on the
occurred she was under the control of the
United States marshal, who has been Oh
rected by the decree of the court to keep
her insured and had neglected to do so.
Under the law the underwriters would
have been liable for salvage if she had
been insured, and the answer contends
that the failure of the marshal TO keep
her insured places this burden upon the
United States. The answer asks there
fore that whatever amount of salvage be
awarded shall be directed TO be paid by
the government and not by the Atlas
company.
The contention OF the Atlas company is
that as the failure to insure the Adula
was caused by the remissness of an agent
of the government and while the vessel
was under government control, il is alb
solved of liability for salvage and the
United States should pay it.

WITHDREW LIGHTHOUSE CASE.
ST. GATHERINGS ISLAND APPRAIs-
MENT TOO DIG FOR UNCLE SAM.

The Case Expected to he Brought Up
Again in Another FOrm-The Gov
ornaments Intention Understood
to BE to secure n site ON the Island
in Some Way-The Next Move
Awaited with Interest.
The case OF the United States against
Jacob Rauers involving the condemna-
ton Of part of St GATHERINGS island,
for the purpose Of erecting lighthouse,
has been withdrawn by the government,
upon the motion OF the district attorney.
The order allowing the withdrawal Of the
action was signed by Judge Speer in
Augusta Friday and was received
by the clerk of the court here yesterday.
1t permits the withdrawal of the suit
without prejudice 10 the right of the gov
eminent TO bring il again In the same or
in some other form.
From the magnitude of the appraisers
award and the fame that ST. GATHERINGS
has attained as deer preserve, the case
is one of unusual interest and importance.
The value Of the land and the extent to
which il would be damaged by the cree
ton of a lighthouse, were referred to
board of appraisers which fixed Mr..
Rauers' damage at 100000. The district
attorney was prepared TO file exceptions
to the appraisement and would have done
so had not the case been withdrawn.
Before the appraisers the point was
made by Assistant District Attorney Lea
ken, representing the government, that
he han, q
ownership In wild animals and that there
fore the value or extent of such a property
could not be a proper subject for consd-
Grafton by them. The point was overruled
but would have been pressed with added
force had the issue ever been presented
10 the court,
Mr.. Leaken was seen yesterday and
asked in regard to the withdrawal of the
case. He replied that ne was unable TO
do 50, but he surmised that the district
attorney was acting under instructions
from the Attorney General He inferred
that this course was pursued because of
the large award made by the appraisers;
by which the government did not care
TO be hampered when the case was finally
brought 10 trial. Exceptions to the award
had been prepared and were ready 10 lie
filed. ,r.
Mr.. Lesken thinks the government has
no intention of abandoning its position
or rehnquishing its purpose to erect a
lighthouse on St. GATHERINGS, and that
the suit will probably be brought in some
other form.
The case has been pending for about six
years having been commenced by Dis
trict Attorney Gary in 1892. Upon the first
trial it was lost upon defect in the origi-
nal petition, on which account 1t was
thrown out of court by Judge Speer. At
the second trial the plea of res adjudicata
was raised by the defense. but was over
ruled and the amount of damage referred
TO the board of appraisers, who fixed 1t at
$4,000. The suit was in this condition
when it was withdrawn. The withdrawal
comes as a surprise and has been the oc-
casiop of much comment among the few
TO whom 1t was known. Developments in
the case will be awaited with interest.
