ARTISAN ITEMS.

Thank you, Mr.. Editor, for supplying an
item for US last week, it was a kindness on
your part, but say, Jack, (if we may be allow
ed such familiarity please watch that devil of
yours little closer, he makes US say some
queer things sometimes, for instance, ticks
possessor of such polished intellect as ours,
feel somewhat discouraged to see one of our
best ~ Jokes mutilated with horrible mis-
print. Be careful to not foul US with fowl.
Rev. Enyeart, for want of time in which to
speak Sunday, was compelled to carry his
sermon back to Meade with him and as he
was too heavy for his buggy on his return
trip Artesion sinners may count themselves
fortunate.
The blue sky has not been seen much of
late only by those who have been able to rise
above the clouds. One of our neighbors,
however, has slight advantage of us in that
respect but does not seem a bit proud of his
flying trip, He says flying is alright but
dropping is pretty hard business.
Mars and George Edwards were in Meade
Monday.
Emous Eliason, from Oklahoma, is again
among the Artesianites visiting.
Alfalfa sowing is now the order of business
and good acreage will be sowed regardless
of high priced seed.
Mrs. Leach is already numbered as one of
our most useful citizens. Slid has been in
stalled as teacher of the young ladies class in
Sunday school and is universally voted a val
liable acquisition to our society.
Ben Buck and wife were out Sunday look
ing over the Artesian country.
Mrs. Blackmarr, of Salt Lake, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sourbeer did not arrive Satur-
day as was expected. Many of our young
folks will remember with pleasure Mrs. B. as
one of our former good citizens and will well
come her back to the SunAower state.

We are pleased to learn that Hon.
A. B. Reeves, ex-Receiver of the
Land Office, and at present men,
Der of the law firm of Reeves &
Kirkpatrick of Dodge City. will be
a candidate for state senator from
this district, subject to the will of
the Democratic senatorial conven-
ton. Mr.. Reeves record as Dem
ocrat, his untarnished reputation as
a good citizen, and his ability as a
campaigner make him prominently
the logical candidate for the place,
and we believe he will be chosen
without opposition to lead the hosts
to victory. As a starter the Demo
Gratis of Ford county have authoriz-
ed him to select his own delegates
to the convention, while the Popu-
lists are for him to a man. We feel
sure that Gray county will follow
the lead and accord Mr.. Reeves
its hearty and unanimous support.
-Cimarron Jacksonian.
No mistake would be made in
nominating Mr.. Reeves.

The present prospect for wheat in cur
neighborhood is about the best ever known

John Norman was seen going south Satur-

Complaint some time ago was
made to the State Board of Health
of the practice of skinning cattle
that die of disease and selling the
hides-a practice that long has pre-
vailed in certain sections of Kansas.
The board discussed this subject at
its late meeting and instructed its
bacteriologist, DR.. Paul Fischer,
who is also a veterinarian of the
State Agricultural college, to In
vestigate the complaint and make a
report.
DR.. Fischer, March and, filed his
report with DR.. Swan, secretary of
the board. 1t is as follows:
DR.. FIscHBR's STATEMENT.
The practice of skinning cattle
that die Of disease and selling their
hides often enables the unfortunate
owner to appreciably reduce loss
that in either case may be a great
one: Frequently no objection what
ever can be raised against this prac-
tice.
However, when infectious dis
eases have been the cause of such
deaths, the question assumes a diff
ferent aspect. Many infectious dis
eases are dangerous alike to man
and beast and it requires very little
knowledge to show the risk attend
ing the skinning of an animal that died
of disease which is transmissable
to man. Slight wounds or abrasions
which may be considered as always
present on the hands of the operator
afford abundant opportunity for a
direct infection by the disease germs.
Accidental injuries during the oper-
alton of removing the hide may also
occur and are of equal Importance.
MAY RESULT IN DEATH.
The result of such an infection
may be serious illness or even
death, hence anything but pleasant.
At recent meeting of the State
Board of Health the question of the
danger from infection by anthrax,
blaekleg and malignant oedema,
during the operation of skinning
animals that died of any of these
diseases, was under discussion. The
similarity of these diseases, the &C.
currence of two of them in human
beings as in animals, the occurrence
of blackleg in animals only, and the
fact that the disease may easily be
COMPOUNDED with or mistaken for
one of the other diseases, and vice
versa, made it seem desirable that
short sketch be written, showing the
need of more general information
leading to better understanding of
the nature of these diseases and the
dangers attending the indiscriminate
skinning of animals dead from dis
ease and of transporting their hides
and exposing them for sale.
Il is not the purpose of this
article TO detail the symptoms of
each of these diseases and thus en-
