The chief evidence Of the transmits
sion of tubercle from cows to human
beings has rested on the cases Of child
ren. The strongest proof was summed
In report lately made to the British
Medical Council that "the mortality
from tuberculosis in early childhood is
not decreasing as at other ages, and the
opinion that this Is due to the infection
by milk appears well founded" Mean
while laboratory evidence accumulated
that the human and bovine bacillus
were not Identical In shape. tests, or in
crease Cattle are relatively insuscep-
tible to human tuberculosis. Ii Is ex-
tremely probable that DR.. Koch has
carried this to full proof and developed
the difference to be one OF species. II.
however, tuberculosis can not furnish
bacilll which give human beings the
disease, the cattle baclll render cattle
diseased Infection once begun infects
the entire herd. Unless people choose
to eat diseased meat and drink milk
with bovine tubercle containing, as was
found In Boston. $40, 900, 600 germs TO the
tumbler, tubercuous cattle must con-
tlnue to be sternly destroyed.

ED Geers, the driver Of The Abbot, Is
very sore over the defeat given his
horse by cresceus Speaking to a New
York reporter the other day he said:
ut was unsportsmanlike in Ketcham
TO distance me when he saw that The
Abbot was on his feet. After The Abb
bot broke he couldn't have caught up
with Cresceus, and had been Ia ket-
CHAINS place I would have pulled up
enough TO save The Abbot being dis
tanced. Ketcham knew my horse was
not In condition and saw that he was
of his feet, and then went on and dis
tanced me-"
II Is very doubtful II It Is any more
unsportsmanlike to distance a horse
when he breaks than II is to beat him
when he breaks. There is not and never
was a driver who would not take every
advantage OF break made by his ri
yaPs horse. OF course It Is very bad to
be dlstanced for to be distanced means
that the other horse wasn't ''in II" and
explanations Of why he wasn't are al
ways accepted with either cynical or
an incredulous smile.

Big Court Martial

San Francisco, April pa court
martial of unusual rank has been ord
cred to sit at the Preside. Several
officers of General Skaters staff are
appointed to sit on it, and Major John
A. Hull, judge advocate of the depart
ment, is judge advocate of the court.
There are thirteen members of the
court All this seems to indicate that
an officer is to be tried.
All the officers are under oath to pre-
serve the utmost secrecy in the matter
and claim either that there is nothing
unusual on foot or that they know
nothing about it. No officer stationed
in this department is known to have
committed any court-martial offense,
but is is possible that, among the num-
erous officers who have been return
ing from the Philippines lately, some
one may have been sent to General
Shafter under arrest and with orders
for his immediate trial.

Big KlOndike Clean Up

Seattle, Wash.-James H. Arden, of
one of the mining companies of Daw-
son, came to the city on his way to
London, England. Arden said that the
cleanup this year in the Dawson camp,
would, from a conservative estimate,
amount to $3O,O00,O0O, making it the
biggest output in the history of the
Klondike.
Mr.. Arden has had an extensive ex-
perience in the Klondike, and says that
the new strike in Eldorado, below the
level of the old bedrock, is not in the
least exaggerated. He is taking to
London samples of the quartz from the
ledge lately struck in the country rock,
and which runs from Victoria Gulch on
Bonanza to Eldorado. This quartz,
which is said to be fabulously rich, is
free milling gold, Mr.. Arden thinks
will raise the Dawson camp great
deal in the estimation of the financial
centers of the world.

National Irrigation Work

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Hon. Ellwood

California. He said the headquarters
of the bureau would be retained at
Cheyenne, which was favorably To-
Gated for it's field of operations in the
arid belt.
Referring to the work of the bureau
for the coming season, he said they
had planned several special lines of
investigation. One would be the selec-
ton of some river in California to
make an exhaustive examination of its
lirrigating capacity, with all its canal
systems, measuring the flow of water
the entire season, the amount of acre
age watered, the amount of water lost
by seepage and evaporation in trans
mission, the cost per acre, the different
allowances for fruit orchards and ag-
ricultura1 crops, ETC., also the COM
parative results in value and labor on
adjoining lands cultivated from natural
waterfall.
The same study will be made on one
stream in Nevada and another in
Idaho. In Utah an investigation will
be made of the water rights Of the
state, compilation of the laws and
decisions in water controversies and
their practical results.

SAN DIEGO MURDER MYSTERY
A Mans Body Is Found In Car Loaded
With Hay

San Diego, April 21.-What appears
to be a case of murder came to light
this afternoon when some men began
to unload hay from a Santa Fe car
that came in Thursday and has been
standing on the track on the water
front. In the car was found the body
of a man dressed as a laborer. and
lying on the hay, apparently asleep.
An examination quickly showed that
he was dead. By his side were his
shoes. and in one of them was a bottle
of morphine, and the supposition was
that death had been cause by the drug,
but when the corpse was taken to the
morgue the physicians discovered that
his neck was dislocated, and they de-
clare that he was dead drunk when he
was placed in the car.
The identity of the dead man is I'M
known, and the affair is mystery.

BROTHERS UNITED
A Romance in an Old Sacramento Mans
History

Sacramento, April CIV. A. Pow
ell of SIT Sixteenth street had just
sunk into slumber one night this week
when he was aroused by the ringing
of his doorbe,l Taking his lamp
with him he cautiously opened the
door. Before him stood an old gray
bearded man. He did not recognize
the nightly visitor, and called for an
explanation. When this was given
he was soon clasped in the embrace
of a brother he had not seen for forty
years.
When the war of the rebellion broke
out the brother, A. H. Powell, was a
clergyman Of the Methodist Episcopal
church at Springfield, Mo. The call
for troops to fight the battles of the
Union was quickly responded to by
the then young minister, who surrend
cred his pastorate, and saying good
bye to his relatives and friends, he
shouldered a musket and marched to
the front
His elder brother, w. A. Powell, now
of this city, then of Ray county,
Missouri, enlisted in the cause of the
confederacy. The two brothers met on
the battlefield of Wilson creek. One
wore the blue and the other the gray.
That was the last time the brothers
looked into each other eyes until W. A.

and discovered Rev. A. H. Powell
standing at his threshold.

ANOTHER KESWICK' FIRE
Upwards Of Twenty Large Frame Build
ings DESTROYED

Keswick, Cal, April 81 For the
sixth time in four years Keswick has
had a big fire. Fire broke out in Bar
barry coast today and all North Main
street is in ashes. Fifteen places of
business have been destroyed and also
half a dozen dwellings, enta'lilg d
total loss of about 100000.
The buildings constituted a long
frame range. None of the owners Lave
been able to secure insurance, so to-
days loss is total, as little or no stock
was saved.
The fire broke out in the Mascot sa-
loon, conducted by Cecil & Bray. There
was no wind and the flames crept
southwark slowly, sweeping everything
before them. To the south, in order,
the fire licked up the Blue Wing sa-
loon of Ookley & Munga, John Nor
gans saloon, John Perth's restaurant,
Pete Bernals saloon, Carpenter & Con
zales' barber shop, Gus Bauer's saloon
and Joe Borde's laundry. With much
difficulty the fire was stopped there
and prevented from eating its way
into the most important business part
of the town.
To the northward from the starting
point were destroyed the Monte Carlo
theater building, large tWo-story
frame, leased by Harry Monroe, John
Millers' saloon, John Ramsey's restaur-
ant, Herold & Neudert's restaurant and
a half-dozen dwellings owned by Gus
Bauer and John Bartos.
The heaviest losers are Paul Fried
manof San Francisco, six buildings,
loss $4,000; Gus Rauer, Monte Carlo
theater building, and other houses loss
$4,000; Henry Frickinger, two business
buildings, $4,000; Charles Bartosh, three

$500; John Miller, $500. The large

Keswick has no water works and no

not disastrous was because of the alb

Novel Horse Race

Prescott.-A novel race occurred here
between two horses owned by Dan
Reams and Joe Ray, of Big-Bug. The
wager was $500. Reams was required
to cover a distance of twenty-six miles
on a wagon road, while Ray was to
select his own route, the one reach
ing Prescott first was to win the
money.
Ray selected a trail seventeen miles
in length, between the two places,
and covered the distance in one hour
and seventeen minutes in spite of the
fact that the trail is quite precipitous
at several places. Reams, whose horse
was much larger and stronger. covered
his twenty-six miles in an hour and
forty minutes, contrary to expectations.
Neither animal is apparently injured.
