Blood

If the blood in sufficient guam.
tity leaves. the body because of
a wound or hemorrhage of the
lungs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to all
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What If these nntritive ele-
ments are absent?
What If they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs?
The first result is disease-par-
tial death. The final result is the
same az from loss of blood.

FEDERAL QUARANTINE.
The Dispatches Regarding It Said
to Be Misleading.

With regard to recent dispatches
from Washington, D. c., to the effect
that the annual order of the Secretary
Of Agriculture, relating to the estab-
iishment of Federal quarantine lines
against splenetic or Southern fever,
makes important changes in this
State, withdrawing from the quaran-
tined area that portion of California
north of a line drawn easterly from
San Francisco, DR.. c. H. Blemer, State
Veterinarian, yesterday said that they
were misleading.
DR.. Blemer said that as matter Of
fact there was no change whatever in
the quarantine lines in this State. The
State Board last year recommended
that the line be fixed where it now is.
The recommendation was approved and
the line so fixed, and the recent order,
which goes into effect January 1st.
makes no change in the line established
last year. The line as it now exists,
he said, is as nearly satisfactory as it
could be made

SWIFT & CO.'S CLAIM.
Comptroller Tracewel1 Directs the
Government to Pay It.

government TO ray LIE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Mr. Trace
we'll, the Comptroller of the Treasury,
has passed upon the claim of Swift &
Co. Of Chicago, for the price of 3Ou,OOU
pounds of fresh beef, which, according
to contract, was shipped from Newport
News, Va, on August 5, 1893, for use
of the army in Puerto Rico.
The record shows that the Manitoba,
the transport on which the beef was
shipped, arrived off Ponce August 10th,
where she ran on reef and remained
until the 10th. The Captain Of the
transport made an effort to have the
beef issued direct from the vessel to
the troops on shore, but the officers in
charge refused to receive it.
On August 25th the transport was
ordered to Mayagues, where it re-
manned until the 31st of August. While
there a small amount of the beef was
issued to the troops direct, as there
was no refrigerating plant on shore.
On the same day she returned to Ponce;
where she remained until September
7th, and was then ordered to Montauk
Point, N. Y, when the beef was found
to be unfit for issue, and was thrown
overheard.
The Board of Survey found that the
loss by the spelling of the beef was
not due to any negligence or fault on
the part Of the contractors The
Comptroller finds that at the time Of
its condemnation the beef was the
property of the United States, and d.
reefs that the claim be settled accord
ingly.

SAMOAN ISLANDS.
Reported Annexation by German
Consul Unconfirmed.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The fol-
lowing statement is made by the Ger
man officials here:
"A press telegram of the 18th inst.
from Apia, via Auckland, reports that
the German Consul in Apia has SOL
EMMY proclaimed the pending annex
alton Of Upolu and Savaii by Germany
to a number Of Samoan chiefs on board
thes German man of-war, and that on
the same day he lhoisted the German
flag on the Supreme Court.
This report does not cover the re-
ports received in Berlin from the Ger
man Consul in Apia, and, according to
the instructions which he has received
from Berlin, it seems absolutely untrue.
1.-THE German Consul has likewise
wired on the 18th inst, but he simply
states that certain Tanu chiefs have
refused to pay the head tax imposed
by the three Consuls, hence they had
been ordered to leave the districts by
the thirteen chiefs. The three Consuls
have instructed the thirteen chiefs to
send the aggressors to Apia for trial.
This has been agreed upon
The State Department has had no
message from our Consul at Apia to
confirm the reports of fresh trouble in
Samoa, and this fact is regarded as
sufficient to show that any slight dis
turbance that may have occurred has
been much exaggerated in the report
The officials are confident that what
ever trouble may occur will not be
chargeable to the German officials, as
the German Government is unite a.
anxious as our own that the pending
treaty providing for permanent set
tlement of the whole Samoan question
shall not be endangered at this critical
stage.

to be hanged on May 10, 1865. The
gallows was erected. but before the
execution the sentence was commuted
to life imprisonment. Later the case
was presented to the Supreme Court,

arguments in Colonel Milligan's behalf,
and the prisoner was released. He
returned to Huntington and resumed
the practice of law, in which he con-
tinued until 1897, when he withdrew
from the bar because of defective hear.
