SCORES KOCH THEORY.
Secretary Wilson Says the Theory ls
All NNrooo


All Wrong.
Milwaukee, Aug. S1-Secretary Will
son, in an interview yesterday, COM
hatted the theory OF Professor Koch
that human beings are in no danger
from tuberculosis in animals. The sec
rotary cited numerous cases where hui
man beings have been inoculated with
tuberculosis from cows and thru cows
milk. and also where intestinal tubercu-
losis had been caused by milk from COWS
affected with tuberculosis Secretary
Wilson said:
1T has been determined that bovine
tuberculosis can be communicated to-
man, and we have cases of local tuber-
culosis produced by incubation. These
are mostly with persons who make post
norton examinations of tuberculosis in
cows. Three such cases have been re-
Gently reported from the state of Penn
sylvania in veterinarians who cut then
hands or wounded them with sharp
pieces of bone.
In some of these cases the bacili
We're demonstrated by the microscope,
and in one of them by incubation of an
imals. Similar cases have been reported
from Europe. Two cases recentely re-
ported from Pennsylvania We're of men
employed In repairing cattle care. They
wounded their hands with pieces of
woodwork and local tuberculosis set in.
One man was cured, but in the other
case the disease had invaded the mans
lungs and caused death. Another case
was reported in an Omaha clinic. 1t
was of little girl with an eruption on
the leg, supposed to be ivy poison. Par
ents applied cream and local tuberculo-s
sis resulted. Investigation showed that
the family had only used the milk from
enc COW, and rabbits inoculated with the
milk and cream from this COW, died of
These local effects from the bovine
tacilli are fully as serious as occur from
linoculations of the skin with the human
bacillus. These local inoculations fur
nish as direct and positive evidence as
could be obtained from experiments. An
other class of facts is represented by a.
case reported in France of number Of
girls at a boarding school who died of
intestinal tuberculosis. Investigation
disclosed only one source of Infection,
end that was the milk from cows which
were shown to be badly diseased. There
are numerous instances of this kind on
record
Referring to the importation OF dis
eased cattle Secretary Wilson said:
I'VE do not permit tubercular cattle to
be imported. The test is applied in all
countries. We are particularly watch
ing the British Isles

which gradually grew larger was seen
coming rapidly from the north shortly
after 3 o'clock. Little attention was
paid to 1t until rain began to fall, when
a rush was made for the golf club house
and any available shelter.

Do THE young men on the farm tend
to leave an agricultural life to enter
commercial and industrial pursuits?
This question was discussed by Prof
Milton Whitney, chief of the division of
soils of the department Of agriculture in
his testimony before the Industrial com
mission. There is still such tendency,
Professor Whitney stated, but a change
is taking place in that respect, brought
about by attractive salaries to be OBJ
TAXED by agricultural experts. It is
common thing now, he said, for a tobac-
co expert to be paid such a startling
salary as $4,000 or $4,000 a year. These
experts are not college bred men, and
frequently have deficient general educa-
ton, but have become valuable in the
practical work of tobacco growing, and
allied industries. Such salaries are now
often paid men who are experts in the
manipulation Of soils of various kinds,
and in the management of large truck
farms. A recent instance is the salary
offered by Japan to Oscar Loew of $1,000
year. Mr.. Loew was tobacco expert
of the Department Of Agriculture; still
more recently that government offer of
$1,000 year for an expert of that kind
TO 60 to the island of Formosa. A large
beet-growing concern has paid $4,000
year to a man who could successfully
treat the alkali soil with which it has
been troubled. The old methods of
farming have largely gone by the board
and the successful farmer of today must
think as well as work

THERE were 234 death claims allowed

THERE were 234 death claims allowed
at the March session Of the board of di-
rectors of the Modern Woodmen society.
The total amount disbursed in payment
of these claims was $444, 100. Of the
death claims allowed, there were 20 re-
sulting from tuberculosis: IL from ty
phoid fever; 81 from pneumonia; 20
from accident; 3 from suicide; and one
from murder. Last month for instance,
there were 1859 benefit certificates is
sued to that number of new members.
How many other societies are there in
the United States, or in the world, that
can show record in comparison? The
fact is, that this months record of the
Modern Woodmen-which is not equal
by the way, to some other months-rep
resents greater gain than was made by
any other society doing business in the
United States during the entire year of
1900, with the exception of five. These
five societies for the whole year made
net increase of members in excess of 49,
459, but in no case exceeding 10000. The
Modern Woodmen, on the contrary,
made a net gain of over 10000 members
and 1890 camps in the year 1900.

His Goal the Letter "v.o

When the late Horace Maynard, LII.
D., entered Amherst college, he expos
ed himself to ridicule and jibing ques-
lions of his fellow students by placing
over the door of his room a large
square of white cardboard on which
was inscribed in bold outlines the sim
gle letter Y. Disregarding comment
and question, the young man applied
himself to his work, ever keeping in
mind the height to which he wished to
climb, the first step toward which was
signifed by the mysterious V.
Four years later, after receiving the
compliments of professors and stu
dents on the way he had acquitted
himself as valedictorian of his class,
young Maynard called the attention Of
his fellow graduates to the letter over
his door. Then light broke in upon
them, and they cried out:
"Is it possible that you had the vale
dictory in mind when you put that V
over your door,"
''Assuredly had" was the emphatic
reply.
On he climbed, from height to height,
becoming successfully professor Of
mathematics in the University of Ten
nessee, lawyer, member Of congress,
attorney general of Tennessee, United
States minister to Constantinople and
finally postmaster general.-Success.

The Scientific American gives this
recipe as one which the world ought to
know: At the first indication of diph-
liberia in the throat Of child make the
room close and then take a metal cup
and pour into it quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts. Hold the cup
over the fire 50 as to fill the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaling the
fumes will cough up and spit out all the
membraneous matter and the diphtheria
will pass out. The fumes of tar and
turpentine loosen the throat and afford
a relief that has baffied the skill of
physicians. Great care must be exer-
cised to prevent the tar and turpentine
which are highly infammable from
taking fire.

A BILL is now before the legislature
which, if it passes will greatly enlarge
the High schools throughout the state.
1t provides that all country pupils shall,
upon presentation Of proper certificate
of attendance, have their tuition paid by
the town from which they came. This
tuition is not to exceed so cents week.
This maximum price is considerably in
excess of the very low tuition now
charged at our own High school. This
bill would admit of charge of 500 per
year and would be borne by the sur
rounding towns instead of by individ-
uals. 1t seems to be part of the gen
eral plan which is going on in our system
Of education viz, that of the state fur
nishing free to ALL country children as
we'll as those of the city, High school
education. The time was when it was
deemed the duty of the state to give
every child the opportunity of com
mon school education. Influences have
been at work which seem to make the
High school the common education for
every boy and girl. This has been shown
in the phenomenal growth of the High
schools all over the country. They have
doubled and trebled and in some in
stances quadrupled in the past Is years.

Rock county's senator: "But, to return
to personal gossip, [ think Senator
Whitehead commands more weight than
any senator on the floor when he makes
statement regarding legislation. He
is credited with care and sincerity, and
when he says thing is so, it is accepted,
not alone because it is made in good
faith. but because it is reliable"

The New-Fangied Banner.

O say, can you see, by the new CEN
tury's light
What so proudly we hail with our
eagles a-screaming?
Whose big stripes and bold stars
through the smoke Of the fight,
From the ramparts of battle are every
where streaming,
And the bomb and the blare that are
rending the air
BY day and night prove our flag it
got there;
o see how the tangled banner now
Ger sulus proud sultan, his wives and
his slaves.
On the shores dilnly seen through the
mists Of the deep,
Where our little brown brothers for
freedom are fighting,
What is that which they hail till their
eyes fairly ween?
What is it they're ng about our
uniting?
How their eyes ar :, on opened-'tis
only dream;
Our friendships sham, and our help
all a scheme,
For the new-fangled banner famboy
antly waves
Over millions of subjects and thou
sands of slaves.
And where is that band that were gal
lantly sure
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion,
For home and for country they still
could endure?
Their blood we have trampled as if
'twere pollution;
No refuge can save them, though pa
tient and brave,
From the terror of death and the
gloom Of the grave;
For our new-fangled banner in tri-
umph must wave,
Whatever it costs us their land to en-
slave.
o thus be it ever when freedmen shall
stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolatiOn,
May manifest destiny give us their
land,
And blast all who kick at benevolent
assimilation.
And this is our motto: eve beat or
we bust,''
Then conquer we must; we belong to
the trust,
And the new-fangled banner flamboy-
antly waves
Over millions of subjects and thou
sands of slaves.
