According to the percentage generally
conceded one out of the 100 will react
Under the old method the examina-
ton of the 100 would have cost $50 and
Sis loss OH the one diseased would
make the total cost $65. Under the new
method the same man sends the same
number and one is found diseased and
ne stands the loss of the full value,
$50. which represents the total cost OF
the examination of the 100 head in the
place of $65 under the old method. a
saving in this case of $35.
According TO these figures. there
fore. DR.. Jolly claims that no injustice
is being done to the farmer or ship
per under the new method and he finds
further support for his position in the
fact that none of the principal ship
pers of the State have made any obJec-
ton to the new method and are willing
to have their cattle examined in Mas
sachusetts. because they recognize
with him that it is cheaper for them
than the old method.
DR.. Jolly also claims that the action
taken by Massachusetts in refusing to
accept the tests made here in Maine.
sustains his claim that the tests were
not always what they should have
been under the old methods.
Another thing that pleases DR.. Jolly
is the fact that whatever of reprOach
or criticism there may have been in the
old method for the veterinarians of the
State has been abolished for this Is
what caused him to make the charges
in the first place and to vigorously de-
fend his position since
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1902-10-31

the Massachusetts markets and have
them examined free of charge by men
appointed and paid by the State Of
Massachusetts. But they receive no
money at all for the cattle condemned
and must have them destroyed or
shipped back mere to Maine at their
own expense.
1t has been claimed that this method
works an injustice on the Maine ship
per and farmer as he must lose the full
expense of sending them back and
forth to market. DR.. Jolly. however.
claims that this is not SO and backs
his belief with the following figures.
Suppose n shipper sends 1900 head of
cattle in Il year to the Massachusetts
market and has them examined here
in Maine according To the old method.
The examination will cost him say so
cents per head, making $500 for the
1900. One per cent of these or II
head. react and are destroyed. the
State paying him half value. Placing
the average value at $50 the loss to him
on the number destroyed is $3.50. max
ing the total expense of the eXamina-
ton of the 1900. $3.50. This is accord
ing to the old method.
But nov suppose that the same ship
per sends the same number and has
them examined i'm Massachusetts ac-
cording to the new method. The ex-
animation which cost him 80 cents per
head here in Maine under the old
method costs him nothing in Massa-
chusetts under the new. The same per
cent react and he is obliged to stand
the full loss or $500 Adding s24 to
this for freight the total loss on the
IL diseased cattle is 1884. Thus under
the old method where the examination
of the 1900 head cost the shipper $3.50.
the same results are obtained under
the new for 1854, a saving of 1896.
Again. take a smaller lot sent by
smaller shipper say 100 for the year.

THE EXAMINATION OF CATTLE.
Dr.. Jolly Explains and Defends the
Method Now in Use.

1t will doubtless be remembered what
a furore resulted about year age
when DR.. A Jolly of this city, declared
that the tuDerculine test of cattle for
the Massachusetts market was not all
that it should be. DR.. Peters of Mas
sachusetts Immediately took cudgels
for the defense of the Massachusetts
board and he and DR.. Jolly had some in
teresting correspondence on the SUBJ
ject.
The latter. in defense of his position,
stated that he had personally exam
ined something like 1000 head of cattle
and that he had found that the per
cent of diseased was one. This was the
experience of other veterinarians, also
so this proportion was accepted as uni
form. According to the laws of the
state all diseased cattle must be re-
ported to the State board of cattle
commissioners but none had been re-
ported out of something like $4,000 head
that mad been shipped to Massachu
sets in the past three years. Accord
ing to DR.. Joly's experience and that
of others one per cent of this number
should have reacted but no such num-
Der was reported.
Whatever the result of this contrO-
versy may have been Massachusetts,
soon after changed her method of ex-
aiming cattle. Under the old method
men approved by the Massachusetts
cattle commission made the examina-
tons here in Maine at the stables of
the shippers and only the animals
passed by these examiners were
shipped out of the State. The cost OF
this examination was paid by the
shipper and was usually about 30 cents
per head, occasionally less, perhaps.
and occasionally more. The State of
Maine paid one-half the value of the
animals condemned and the owner had
to stand the other half.
Now Massachusetts has changed the
name of her cattle commission and
changed the method of examination.
Now shippers can send their cattle to

RICE TO DIE.
Pays the Penalty of his Crimes on the
Ga1loWs Tomorrow.

Special to the Record.
Toronto, Ont, July IT, The
cabinet having declined to inter-
fere, Fred Lee Rice. one of the
most desperate criminals with
which the Canadian authorities
have had to deal in many years,
will pay the penalty of his mis-
deeds on the gallows tomorrow.
The condemned criminal is an
Illinois man, former resident
of Champaign and student of
the University of illinois.
The crime for which he is to
be executed was the outgrowth
of less heinous offense, the rob.
berry of a bank, for which Rice
and three confederates had re-
ceived sentences of 2l years i'm
prisonment-. Rice and his COM
panions formed d gang of the
most notorious and daring porch
climbers on the continent.
Wherever there was opportunity
for plunder they went. They
did not confine their operations
to porch-climbing. Highway
robbery, burglary and forgery
were among their accomplish
ments, and for many years they
baff1ed the efforts Of the police to
effect their capture. Originally
the gang was composed Of Rice,
Frank Rut]edge, a Canadian, and
Frank Stewart. All were des-
perate characters, shrewd in their
methods, skilled in the arts of
the confidence man and utterly
without fear. They made their
headquarters at Chicago, but con-
Quoted their operations princi-
pally in either cities, returning to
Chicago to dispose of and divide
their plumber 1T stated intervals.
The crime for which Rice is to
pay the death penalty is the kill
ing of in officer while heing taken
to Jail after conviction and sent
ence to the penitentiary.

Mitchell is using his influence
in the national convention of Uni
ted Mine work ers Of America,
which meets here, against a gen.

wants is to increase the strike
assessment per capita until the
sum is double its present pro-
portions and a joint conference
with the bituminous operators
for the purposeof drawing up an
agreement to keep coal out of
the strike districts or closing
down the btu uminous mines at

BURNED At THE STAKE.
A Negro in Mississippi Cremated BY
an lnfurated Mob.

By Union Associated Press.
Clayton, Mss, July 17.-Wil.
Ody, a negro, was tied to a stake,
deluged with Oil and burned to
death early this morning in the
woods near here, where he com
mitted an assault upon Miss Vir-
ginia Tucker, a prominent young
white woman. Miss Tucker was
so roughly treated by her assail-
ant that both legs were fractured
and her life dispared Of as re-
suit Of injuries and nervous
shock She was able to identify
|Ody after his capture, but imme-
diately sank into a comatus con-
dition from which it was impos-
sible to arouse her. AS she
was driving ia the outskirts of
the city about dusk last evening,
Ody jumped from the brush and
drew her attention by pointing to
something in the roadway. AS
she leaned forward he grabbed
her ankles and pulled her to the
ground and assaulted her.

Awful Destruction Of the
Burning Oil Can Not
be Estimated.

Fifty-on hours have passed
since lightning set the Jenninss
Oil field on fire, and the destruc-
tive fire is Still raging, ,and hotter
than ever. No efforts have been
made during the past twenty
four hours TO quench the fire,
although big preparations have
been going on, which takes lots
OF hard work, to make a supreme
attempt to subdue the flames.
A carload of chemicals arrived
from New Orleans this morning,
consisting of saltpetre, alum,
borax, etc.
This is all that could be Sc
cured in New Orleans, but more
has been ordered from Houston
and Galveston. and is expected
here this evening. Teams have
been hauling the material out to
the we'll today, and it is expected
that the work Of extinguishing
the fire will begin some time to-
morrow, as it will be a days
work to mix the che micals. Six
or more steam boilers will be
brought into requisition to force
the chemicals and steam onto the
fire, which it is confidently be-
!ieved by the owners Of the we'll
will have the desired effect.
Immense numbers Of people
have been visiting the scene of
the fire all day yesterday, all
night last night and all day to-
day. The fire draws t; bigger
crowd than Was ever seen at a
gusher exhibition. 1t is truety
great sight, the flames shooting
upward 50 to 100 feet high, being
AT times entirely hidden by great
rolls of black smoke Aud the
roaring of the fire, and the awful
Kissing of the escaping gas is
something fearful.
The property destroyed by this
fire was valued at nearly $4,000
and the value of the oil destroyed
can not be estimated, but will run
into many thousands.
