The report is being circulated that
there is to be convention of physi-
clans shortly in Chicago to consider
the spread OF tuberculosis in milk. At
one of the slaughter houses last week
20 cows that had reacted to the tuber-
culin test were slaughtered. OF the
number Is we're found SO badly tuber-
culous that they had to be sent to the
rendering tank, their flesh being
deemed unsafe for food. The other
ten were passed as healthy food, as
the disease had obtained only slight
foothold and that In parts of the body
that would not make the eating Of the
parts ordinarily eaten dangerous. A
convention of this kind will be a move
in the right direction. There Is no
doubt but that it is much easier to
stamp out the disease than most people
suppose. What we need most is light
on the facts. We do not want to be
too much disturbed, nor do we desire
to live in a FOOLS heaven. There are
those who are crying up the crusade
against tuberculosis because they be-
lieve it to be great menace to the
people. There are others who are cry
Ing 1t down, but very often their mo-
tives seem to be controlled by private
interests. 1t is a fact that the milk
supply has never been thoroughly In
vestigated in any western city. Now
and then a fuss Is made and a few
samples examined, but no systematic
and thorough investigations OF both
milk and sources Of supply have been
made. Most city people have no clear
conceptions of the places from which
their milk is brought or OF the cleanli-
ness or uncleanliness OF the stables in
which 1t is drawn.
The dirty brook should be a theme
for thought by more than one dairy
man. The man that has no running
brook on his farm is more likely to
have good water for his cows than the
man that thinks he is blessed by a
stream of running water. Where the
stream is rapid-moving and fairly
deep 1t may serve for a drinking place
the year round, but in most OF our
western states the conformation of the
land is not such that stream Is either
swift or deep or clear. In states that
are filled with FOUNTAINS and hills and
forests the streams to a large extent
remain pure the year round. The soil
on their banks is held in place by a
multitude of vegetable growths. FIRE.

serve as a suitable drinking place for
the cattle most of the year, or until
the summer drouth renders them stag

The report of the state veterinarian
OF Pennsylvania indicates that active
work Is being carried on in that state
looking to the control and elimination
OF animal diseases. The tuberculin
test for cattle has been employed and
.lniected cattle killed. Attention Is
called to the fact that no injuries have
been reported due to the use of tuber-
culln as test for tuberculosis. The
veterinarian says: Considering the
manner In which the herds to be test-
ed are selected and wide distribution

Growing Forest Trees.-The horti-
culturist of the Virginia Experiment
Station, VIM. B. Atwood, states that,
from his experience, it appears to be
simple matter for any Intelligent farm
er to grow forest trees seedlings, either
for decorative planting or for wind
breaks and forest belts. All such seeds
as silver maple and like early ripening
species 1t is necessary to SOW as soon
as ripe. They can be sown in the same
manner and will grow as readily as
peas. All late ripening species should
be sown in the fall. Walnuts can be
bulked down, several bushels in a
heap, and then taken up and planted
in the spring with perfect success.
Also simp.e plan with these species
is to plant the nuts where the trees are
to stand. II no stock interferes. they
will grow with great certainty, and in
rich soil SO rapidly as to astonish one
unfamiliar with the culture Of forest
trees. Most of the forest trees do best
1t set out at to feet tall; hence
many should stand but one year in
the nursery row.

MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION.
Growing Belief Tint 1t IN the Presi-
dents Purpose to Convene
Congress In the Fall.

Washington, May 5.-There is a
growing belief among members of con-
gress that the president will call con-
gress to meet in extraordinary session
this fall, probably early in October.
The questions which will come before
the next congress for settlement, in
,luding as they do everything growing
out of our possessions acquired as
result of the war with Spain, and the
general legislation, including that re-
lating to currency reform, the Near
aqua canal, merchant marine, etc, are
of such great Importance that the pres
dent is inclined to regard it as advis-
able that congress should meet earlier
than the regular session in December
in order to get the work under way.
The retirement of Speaker Reed will
naturally entail considerable delay in
the appointment of committees in the
house, as it is customary to allow a
new speaker four or five weeks to make
up his committees, and this furnishes
an additional reason why congress
should be convened before December.
Of the several senators and members of
congress who are going abroad this
summer the president has particularly
inquired as to the length of their stay,
and has limited that it was advisable
that they should be back in the early
TALL, as the necessity for an extra ses-
sion might arise.
With others, it is said, he has dis
cussed the subject, and moreover it was
upon the presidents direct suggestion
that the caucus committee appointed
Dy the house republicans TO formulate
currency reform measure met when
It did. There had been talk of postpon-
ing the meeting until fall, but the pres
ident suggested that it would be well to
formulate a plan as early as possible,
and this statement was made to the
members when they met at Atlantic
City as having come direct from the
president, together with the further
statement that the president might call
congress in extraordinary session in
lhe fall for the purpose, among other
things, of passing currency reform
measure. Representative Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, and Representative Cur
tbs, of Kansas, both of whom are mem
bers of the caucus committee, saw the
president Thursday. When the former
left the white house he said he had nc
direct information upon the subject OF
an extra session, but that he had all
along regarded an extra session as more
than probable. At the white house nc
confirmation can be obtained of the
statement that the president at present
contemplates calling congress together

"A Fireman Killed.

Massillon, O., May 9.-The largest
confagration in the history of Mas
sillon swept Russell & Co.'S mammoth
thresher and engine plant Monday
night, destroying property valued at
fully $5OO,000. The fire started in the
warehouse at eight o'clock, and in spite
of the efforts of the various hose COM
panies gained steady progress. In this
structure were fully 300 finished ma
chimes, and all were consumed. Canton
was wired for aid, but answered the
late to be of assistance. The machine
shops were saved.
Albert Bamberger, volunteer ire
man, was killed by falling wall. In
the same catastrophe Christian L..
Baalz, workman, was probably fatal
ly injured. Both were in a gangway be-
tween two buildings and were buried
beneath tons of bricks and burning
timbers. Firemen rushed to the rescue
and finally recovered The bodies. The
heat was so intense that the rescuers
were fairly blistered, although con-
stantly drenched with water. Bam-
berger's body was terribly mangled,

West Superior, Wis.,, May 9.-An east
ern Minnesota ore train, consisting of
40 ore cars and several box cars, went
crashing through the bridge of the Belt
line railway that crosses the Nomadji
river at noon Monday. Engineer
Thomas Quinn was crushed to death.
He was caught between the engine and
tender. Fireman Harry Miller had his
leg badly crushed. He was at first
thought to be fatally injured, but will
now recover, probably. The train fell
a distance of 60 feet to the river. The
coroner's inquest rendered a verdict
in accordance with the facts without at
taching blame TO anyone. The cause OF
the accident is not known. 1t is sup

WILD RUSH FOR LANDS.
The Ute Reservation Is Opened
Home Seekers in Large Numbers
Enter the Region.

Durango, Col, May 5.-Promptly at
noon Thursday the heretofore impreg-
nable walls of the famous Ute reser-
proclamation, which removed the bar
rier that for more than &c years has
withstood all attacks of the enterpris-
ing home seeker. The start was made
from different points, hundreds join
ing in the rush. Whistles and bells pro-
claimed the hour of starting. Scores of
men who had been holding places in
line sold out half an hour before the
opening, $50 being the prevailing price.
1t is estimated that 1000 persons sought
in various ways to secure land. The
streets of Durango were crowded and
there was great rejoicing. Hundreds of
well-mounted and well-armed men be-
gan pushing to the front at daybreak,
all giving themselves ample time to
reach the favorite sections.
A new corporation, under the name
of the Ute Town company, comprised
of Denver and Boulder men, located a
town site about 40 miles south of here,
the name, it is understood, to be Ia
Dor. Other town sites were established,
and by night there were more than a
dozen new villages on the map of the
Centennial state. Lumber and building
material are already being moved to
the new towns, and within AS hours the
new villages will show hundreds of
houses in the course of construction
Serious conflicts are expected between
those who filed at the land Office and
those who staked claims, and bloodshed

piece of land.

standard is made in the bill drafted by
the Atlantic City currency committee
for submission to the next congress.
Other than this single standard pro-
vision, the essential features of the bill
are confined to these three main prin-
ciples: The protection of the gold re-

THEIR VOICE is FOR WAR.
dorse Policy of the Administrn-
tion in the Philippines.

Chicago, May s.-Three big mass
meetings were held in Chicago Sunday
to voice approval of the policy of the
administration with reference to the
Philippines, and to protest against the
sentiments expressed last Sunday at
the "anti-expansion" meeting in Cen.
trail Music hall. The meetings were
held in the Auditorium, Central Music
hall and the First Methodist church.
and in spite of the inclement weather
there was an aggregate attendance OF
probably 10000. The presiding officers
of the three meetings were Judge Oil.
yer II. Horton, eX-Judge John Barton
Payne, and Thomas b. Bryan. At the
Auditorium, as at the other two gath.
erings, every mention of President Nc.
Kinley or Admiral Dewey brought forth
tbunders of applause. The speakers at
the Auditorium were William Dudley
Foulke, of Indiana; Bishop Samuel Fal'
lows, Congressman Doliver, of Iowa;
eX-Congressman George e. Adams,
! Judge Richard S. Tuthill and Rev. DIR.
p. S. Henson. Most of these also spoke
at the other meetings.
RESOLUTIONS were read by Gen. John
C. Black and were adopted unanimously
at all the meetings. The resolutions
emphatically endorse the policy of the
| administration with reference to the
Philippines; recite with sorrow the fact
that the chief encouragement to the in.
surgents has been from some misguided
fellow-citiZens; and to them must be
ascribed much of the bloodshed and
ruin which has followed; they declare
that our government has sought by
every honorable way to secure cessa,
ton of hostilities, and point to the fact
that these efforts of peace have beer
constantly rejected by the insurgents
until it became manifest even to them
that they were waging hopeless war;
they declare that it is the duty of al.
citizens to share the burdens of the
government rather than to embarrasi
its efforts and thus prolong the con.
Set of arms, and that until the close OF
hostilities "we know only our country
it's army and navy and its executive
and pledge to them while our flag shall
be in battle our unfaltering support.
The resolutions continues:
THE government of the United State.
should be, and we believe will be, true tc
its principles in the disposition of all ques
tions that may arise in the future in oui
relationship with the people of the Prilip
pine islands. We regard the great issue o
