CATTLE AFFECTED
BY TUBERCUL OSIS

Chicago, June 6.-After the post mortem
examinations of the tuberculosis cows
killed at the stock yards Governor Tanner
said:
81 am convinced that tuberculosis has
made q more general victim of stock than
is generally believed, and ! am also conf
dent that such condition, If not reme-
died by proper laws and a liberal appro-
priation by the state, will have results
more serious than the mere loss of cattle.
Itshall recommend at the next meeting of
tie legislature that the state board of live
stock commissioners be given an appro-
pria ron of at least $4,000 with which to
carry on the work Of exterminating tuber-
culosis cattle. l also shall exert my nflu-
ence in obtaining for the commissioners
more authority. The appropriation this
year for this work was $1,000 The COM
missioners asked for 500, 600. l myself was

qrested. Having seen conditions as they

Remains Were Removed

San Francisco, June 6.-Tne report
comes from Honolulu that when the tomb
of Lunalilo, the barefoot king of Ha-
wai,' was recently opened, it was found
that the remains had been removed and
that the metal casket contained only por-
tons of the grave clothes. 1t is surmised
that the body may have been taken by
natives to a heather grave in the noun
tains, as a thunder storm on the day of
the burial had much affected his super
stitious subjects. Lunalilo was elected
king in 1873. but 13 months afterward
died of consumption. Although he pos
sessed large fortune, he insisted on go
ing about the streets barefooted at all
times. BY his will which was not opened
until 1881, he left his entire fortune to
found a home for aged Hawaiians.

MY observations lead believe that

known positively to be tuberculosis
The cattle which have "a slaughtered
and dissected today, and -. saw sat-

furnishing milk to my family. I did not
institute this investigation. l had no rea-
son to believe that the milk sold me was

like the thousands of others who drink
milk. I never questioned its purity. And
there is the secret of official negligence
which has permitted this disease TO make
such progress. I am glad my eyes have
been opened. The recent awakening of
public interest on the subject will have
practical results. What is necessary is
this: The live stock commissioners must
be given police power to enter any and all
dairies for the purpose of testing the cat
tie with the tuberculne test. They must
confscate to the state all cattle that show
symptoms of tuberculosis infection. They
must also be allowed enough money to
remunerate the former owners of such con-
fiscated cattle. The cattle then must be
slaughtered and destroyed
In view of the encouragement given the
commissioners by Governor Tanner the
live stock board held a meeting at 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 commits
sioners utilize as vigorously as possible all
the authority given them under the pres
ent law. The live stock commissioners to-
day started on a tour of inspection of dair-
les in McHenry county.

was so firm in the belief that the holding
up of a Rio Grande Western train was in
contemplation that he notified the railroad
authorities of his suspicious. The stop
ping of the Union Pacific flyer and the rob-
bing of the safe is believed to have been
decided on instead for the, reason that the

filling up with prospectors, incident~to the
copper excitement, making it difficult for
the gang to operate successfully there.
