WAR. ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Gov. Tanner of Illinois Convinced
that tuberculosis is an Ac-
tual Existent Menace.
IT is CONDITION, AND NOT A THEORY.
He VIII Now Lend All the Aid i'm His
Power TO the state Live stock
commission in Their Efforts to
Rid the Diaries of the state of In
fected Cows.

Chicago. June After the post
norton examinations of the tubercu-
| losis COWS killed at the stock yards,
Gov. Tanner said:
Il am convinced hat tuberculosis
has made a more general invasion of
live stock than is generally believed,
and | also am confident that such Il
condition, if o remedied by proper
laws and Il liberal appropriation by the
state, will have results more serious
that the mere loss of cattle. | shall rec
ommend at the next meeting of the
live stock commissioners he given an
appropriation of at least $4,000 with
which TO carry on the work of eNter-
minating tuberculosis cattle. | also
shall exert my influence in obtaining
for the commissioners more authority.
An Inadequate Appropriation.
The appropriation this year for
this work was $1,000. The commission
ers asked for 100000. | myself WAS in
strumental in cutting down he sum
requested. Having seen conditions as
they exist, l shall take Il personal in
terest now in the matter and spare all
necessary time in aiding the board,
whose work is. 10 say the least. prac-
tically humanitarian.
MY observations lead me to believe
that it is unsafe to drink milk which
is not known positively To be nOn-tu-
%bcrculous.
Has Seen for Himself.
''Fhe cattle which / have seen
slaughtered and dissected. and which
| saw, were saturated with tuberculO-
sis. ten days ago, We're furnishing
milk to my family. did not institute
this investigation. | had no reason 10
believe that the milk sold me was 9TH
erwisc than pure. The fact is. like the
thousands of others who drink milk.
/ never questioned its purity. And
there is the secret of the official neg
ligcnce which has permitted this dis
ease TO make such progress. | am glad
my eyes have been opened. The recent
awakening of public interest on the
subject Will have practical results.
What is necessary.
What is necessary is this: The live.
stock commissioners must be given
police power to enter any and all Gai-
ries for the purpose of testing the
cattle with the tuberculin test. They
mus cOnfiScate to the state all cattle
that show symptoms of tuberculcus
infection. They must also be allowed
enough money to remunerate the Tor
mer owners of such confiscated cattle.
The cattle then must be slaughtered
and destroyed"
Plans for the summer Work.
In view of the encouragement given
the commissioners by Gov. Tanner the
live stock board held a meeting nj the.
Great Northern hotel and adopted
plans for the summers work. New
rules were adopted in accordance with
the advice given by the governor that
the commissioners utilize. as rigorous
ly a. possible, all the authority gwen
them under the present law. The live
stock commissioner has started on Il
our of inspection of dairies in Nc

new STOCK INSPECTOR.
Sol Hip Of White Pine County
Secures the Position.
The Position is Worth 800 a Month
and Travelling Expenses.
[From the Elko Independent.I

[From the Elko independently
Governor Sadler has appointed Sol
Hip live stock inspector. The act under
which the appointment was made pro-
vides that the inspector shall be OF
recognized skill and ability and shall
devote his time to the investigation OF
the nature, causes and the remedies for
the diseases Of horses, mules. sheep.
swine, cattle and other domestic animals.
1t is evidently the intention Of the law
that the inspector should be 3 man
skilled in the diseases of live stock. II
this 10 true il is difficult to see how Mr..
Hip can fill the position. as 9 greater
part Of his life has been devoted to
merchandising. He owns no live stock
now and probably knows as little shout
their diseases as the editor OF the lnde-
pendent. But then this should not dis
qualify him from drawing down the
salary of 500 . month. A generous
Legislature, lsvished with the peoples
money, provided for the office and gave
the Governor authority to fill it. Then,
too, Mr.. Hip was wheedled out OF the
Orphans Home aud the position OF book
keeper ct the Asylum, and political
promises must be kept even if the people
nave to dig up the money to pay the
salaries Of useless officials.
In this connection the reasons fer the
appointment as given by the Governor in
an interview should be stated. The
Governor Gays that the farmers in the
western part Of the State who raise hay
to sell urged the appointment OF the
inspector in order that cattle from Cali
forniA could be shipped into the State to
consume the surplus product. Unless
al inspector was appointed, cattle could
not be shipped into the State under the
quarantine regulation now in force, and
there would be no market for the surplus
nay Of the ranohers in the western part
Of the State. The Governor frankly
says that the stockmen were opposed to
the appointments being made. and claims
that the only injury that can possibly
be done to the stockmen OF eastern Ne
vads will be the money they will have to
put up to help pay the salary OF the
inspector.
SO far as Mr.. Hip is concerned, the
Independents congratustes him upon his
appointment. He is an old resident OF
the State and possesses the requisite
ability to draw down his salary every
month. So far as the man is concerned.
no better appointment could have been
made.

POISONED GLACED FRUIT.
san Francisco Mysfery Solved by
the Police.

thc
SAN Francisco, July 2S.-The mystery
Of the sending OF basket of poisoned
glazed fruit to Miss Florence Campbell
OF 6l0 Ellis street has been solved by
Chief OF Police Lees and the result shows
that there was no attempt made to take
life aud that no one was even made i'll
by the poisoned fruit. 1t appears that
Miss Campbell sent the poison to her
self in furtherance OF Q little plot by
which she hoped to keep her name from
figuring as correspondent in q divorce
suit.
According to the confession which
has been made by Miss Campbell. the
basket OF glazed fruit was sent on June
Doth to 6l0 Ellis street, where Miss
Campbell had been living with John r.
Rsthom. 1t was claimed at first that
Miss Campbell and Mrs. Elsie Scheib
had been made i'll by eating the fruit.
The police learned OF the case and An in
vestigAtion was made by Chief Lees. who
after having Miss Campbell identified as
q recent purchaser Of arsenic. connected
her with the basket and the purchase Of
the glazed fruit. Confronted with these
discoveries, Miss Campbell confessed her
plot. Miss Campbell will return to her
former home in West Virginia and there
will be no prosecution.
