lean soldier who, while stationed ln
Bulacan, became enamored OF pretty

complete outfit of American clothing.

SORGHUM POISONING.
Those Who Lose Cattle Are Asked to
Report Immediately.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 3.-To the
People of Nebraska: The season for
less of cattle from sorghum poisoning
is approaching and the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station authorities are anx-
ious to investigate as many cases as
possible where deaths occur, and in
some instances they will purchase and
turn animals on dangerous fields and
watch the symptoms of the disease
which causes the death of the animal
1t is hoped that by holding an imme-
diate post mortem the cause of death
may be determined. Persons losing
animals pasturing on sorghum will
confer a favor on the experiment sta
tion by reporting deaths Immediately
by wire or telephone at our expense
and every effort will be made to give
assistance or find the cause of death.

DECLARES IT TO BE ANTHRAX.
State Veterinarian Investigating Cattle
Disease.


PENDER, Neb., Aug. 3.-Dr. w. s.
Thomas, state veterinarian, was called
to this place to inspect herd of cattle
belonging to Fred Gilster, a prominent
German farmer living south of this
place, which is infected with a maiady
which has so far caused six of his
feeders to drop dead in the feed yards
and others are affected. DR.. Thomas.
after making a close examination, pro-
nounced the disease anthrax, or splenic
apoplexy, confirming the diagnosis
made by NJ M. Parish, the local veter-
mary surgeon here. A part of the herd
has since been inoculated against the
disease by the latter gentleman, who
will inoculate the remainder as soon
as additional vaccine arrives from Chi
cago. This is the only instance where
this disease has shown itself in this
locality and every means will be
adopted to prevent its spreading, if
possible. Should it be carried to the
herds grazing on the Indian reserva-
tiOn located in this county IL will
cause large amount of loss, for it is
pronounced to be a very contagious and
fatal malady.
