INFLUENZA, or typhoid fever, is af-
fecting horses and cattle in Dane
county to an alarming extent. Ia
Minnesota and other parts OF the
country the ailment Is known as
swamp fever, epizootic, horse sick
ness, and by other names.
Within the last year 100 horses
have been treated for the disease in
Dane comfy alone, besides nearly as
many cattle. OF those horses affect
ed, twenty have died.
During July and August the di-
sease is more general than at any
other season Of the year. It's proper
name is typhoid or influenza, but 1t
is sometimes called swamp fever be-
cause of the superstition that horses
become infected by eating grass and
hay grown in low-lying regions.

Houser on Freight Rates.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-The statements
Of Hon. w. l.. Houser, Secretary OF
State, at the recent fair in this city
concerning railroad freight rates
were so circumstantial and definite
that they must stand as correct. I'M
less controverted by equally explicit
and authoritative evidence. From
his presentation of figures there APP
pears no escaping conclusion thar
the people of this state are the VIC
tins of discrimination in comparison
with the people of Iowa and Illinois
similarly situated. Supporting his
statements, Mr.. Houser submitted
tables showing rates between Min
eral Point and Milwaukee and Min
eral Point and Chicago in compari-
son with rates for equal distance IN
Iowa and Illinois. Some OF these
tables, and his comments thereon,
should be studied by every citizen.
For merchandise in less than car
load lots the freight rates between
Mineral Point and Milwaukee (l53
miles) and for same distance in Iowa
are as follows:

the RECRUITMENT is that the president

SLOWER THAN Thu HORSECARS
SAYS IT. II. VREELAND or THE
ELECTRICs DOWNTOWN.

And You Can't Mako Better Time with the
Trolleyp Under Present Trah1o Con
ditions-Hardships OF Moving Every
body In the Same Direction st Once,
H. H. vreeland, president OF the Inter.
urban Street Railway Company. talked to
the members OF the mems club OF the Jud-
son Memorial. at IS Washington Square
South, last night. Among other things
he said that New Yorks only hope fol
rapid transit In the future Is the develop
ment Of the underground system.
Street railroads were never built for
rapid transit said Mr.. Vreeland. -They
we're never intended for It. In spite OF the
fact that the average Roadway In New
York city Is closer than In any other city
and with cars running at an average speed
Of eleven miles an hour, there Is not an
electric line in the city below Twenty
third street where the cars can be operated
under present street conditions as fast
as the horse cars OF ten years ago
Mr.. Vreeland qualified as an expert
on railroads at the commencement OF his
talk by saying that no had been in the
business since he was eighteen years old,
ment or another In the business since he
was twenty-one. He gave an outline Of
the development Of transit facilities in
New York since the time OF the Broadway
stages, and said that business had developed
with the growth Of railroads.
Mr.. Vreeland gave the railroad company's
side OF the crowded car problem. He
pointed out that the New York surface rail-
roads take care Of SO per cent. Of the in
habitants Of places within fifty miles Of
New York city, and that the business that
comes into town in six hours expects to
leave within the half hour between s and
$50 p. NJ, while the big downtown building s
turn out about $500 persons each day In
that same half hour.
NO matter what facilities you furnish, y
he said, you can't get 10000 persons away
from one section In fifteen minutes, even
II you do fill the cars in the way they say
! do. ! am speaking now as railroad
expert"
Mr.. vreeland's only complaint was against
the complainants. He said that about fifty
letters a day were received from men and
women who demanded the discharge OF
conductors or motormen. These letters
wero frequently sent by women who could
not keep two servants In one house or men
who had to do with one ONCE boy.
