SWAMP FEVER.
Very Peculiar Ailment Appears
Among Horses IL
This State. u, ,s

F. This State.
Many Many horses in the state during
the past year have succumbed to a
peculiar disease known. as. swamp
fever, according to the report;of the
veterinary department Of the State
board Of health which. will be sub
mitted to Gov. S..R. Van SAINT IN a
few days. The disease, which is
peculiar to Canada and Northern
Minnesota, IS characterized by a
mortality rate Of osper cent, and is
called swamp fever, on the supposi-
ton that horses become infected by
eating grass and hay grown in low
lying regions.
In the neighborhood of .Beltrami
alone, in district covering only
two miles wide by six miles long,
twenty-six outbreaks, involving the
loss of l36 horses have been report
ed. On IL other farms Is animals
are known to have died from the
disease, making total of 211 deaths
on 38 farms. .
The disease is insiduous in it's
onset. Sometimes the horses seem
to be "out of Sorts for weeks be-
fore the disease takes hold. The
animal has voracious appetite, but
grows weak and emaciated. The
coat becomes greasy in appearance
and the flesh is soft and fabby Al
the disease progresses a staggering
or webbing gait" is noticed This
is particularly apparent in the hind
legs. Swelling of the legs often is
a symptom. The temperature rang
es from 100 to 105 degrees Fahren-
heit, the pulse becomes rapid and
the eye shows strange pallor. On
internal examination the blood ap-
pears colorless and hemorrhagio
areas shows the effects Of LESSONS.
Most of the cases have occurred
in low-lying districts. The soil is
ola heavy black loam and the conn
tryis generally fat with little drain
age, Flowing wells are usually
present and the land is frequently
boggy. The drains usually. freeze
solid in winter, and in. the early
spring there are vast quantities of
ice, resulting in the formation Of
small lakes or ponds in the neigh
borhood of the farms.
This has led to the general belief
that the horses become infected by
eating grass in the. swamps. DR..
Bracken says, however, that few
cases have been reported from the
sandy regions, where there are no
swamps. One outbreak was report
ed from the vicinity of Litchfeld,
where the soil is light and sandy.
4 local doctor reported that during
the past ten years at least 60 out
breaks with swamp fever symptoms
have occurred in that vicinity.
The disease seems tobe more gen.
eral in July and August. It is be-
lieved, therefore, that insects have
much to do in carrying the infec-
tion. At this season Of the year,
also, horses are likely to be over
worked. Farm horses, driving
horses and colts running at large
have been found affected. Well
bred horses of Eastern stock have
succumbed to the disease. No cas-
es have been reported among mules.

RECEIVED BUT $3.50 SAYS LEWIS
Files Answer In the Washington Match
Company Receivership-Had But
1900 Shares.

TACOMA, Nov. 20.-In the Washing
ington Match company receivership,
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis who
made the applicat ton for the receiver
and who still remains in the city of
Chicago, has filed his answer in the
federal court covering the charges
made by the defendants against him
His answer is very full, covering some
IA typewriter pages. In it it is
stated that Colonel Lewis never got
one dollar of the company's money or
property; that the company paid him
for organizing it and for about one
years services in its behalf 1900 shares
of stock and $3.50 in cash; that this
covers everything he ever received
from the company; that the $3.50 cash
was paid him for expenses and services
in his trip to Washington, D. c., where
he was engaged some three or four
weeks in Investigating and pushing
the companys applications for patents.
Confusion in Companys Affairs.
1t is further stated in his answer
that his application for a receiver was
caused by the great confusion the
company's affairs had gotten into since
he resigned as its president in October
1902; that the decision of Judge Smell
handed down last month in the suits
brought by stockholders to get their
money back threatened to swamp the
company in such litigation, as there
was some 1O00 6ifforapt
and that if one had right to get his
money back. than the others had the
same right: that three different sets
| OF officers were claiming to have the
right to act for the company; that one
set (and they are the ones now at
| lacking him and asking to have Mr..
Cole removed as receiver) had bored
| into the company's safe and were
selling the company's properties SO
| that a judgment creditor had gotten a
restraining order to prevent them;
| that it appeared to him that a court
Of equity through a receiver could
alone untangle this confusion and il
was only his desire that every one
should receive fair treatment that
prompted him in making the applica-
ton for receiver.
Lewis Goes On Record.
His attorneys have also filed a brie,
for him in this matter in which Col
lionel Lewis goes on record of beins
willing to forfeit his license as ar
lattorney if defendants charges art

To Look Out for a Man
Named {. J. Rogers
PASSES FORGED MONEY ORDERS
By Use of Chemicals Erases tho Writ
ina on the Original and Raises
the Amount.

Postmaster E. L. Brunton is in re-
postal inspector at Spokane, request
| ing him to notify all merchants SO far
as practicable to look out for man
going by the name of E. J. Rozier, who
| has been passing forged money orders
on the merchants in eastern Wash
ington. The inspector requests that
the merchants cause the arrest of the
man by the local authorities as soon
as he may offer any of the orders In
payment of goods. This man is Oper
ating under the same as J. G.. Coggins,
who was recently arrested and con-
victed on a similar charge.
His method is to purchase a money
order, usually for 25 or 80 cents, at
some small office, payable at one Of
the larger cities. BY means of chem
icals he grasses all of the writing on
the order and makes a complete new
order payable to himself at an office
different from that named in the orig
inal application. He then visits the
town upon which the raised and forged
order is drawn, and usually on Sat
urday night, he purchases a small bill
Of goods from some merchant and Of
fers the raised order in payment re-
questing the difference in cash. If
identification is required he produces
a number of letters addressed to him
self The orders are generally raised
to $50 or $50 The alterations in the
orders cannot be detected by the naked
eye.
The description Of the man as fur
nished by Inspector Linn is as follows:
Age, 80 or 80; build, slim; height, 5
feet 10 inches; complexion, dark;
weight, $50 to It's pounds; hair, med
ium dark; eyes, dark and squirting;
nose, ordinary; neck, long; prominent
lower lip. Drinks, CANDLES plays races
and continually loafs about saloons.
Has a swinging walk and impresses
one as a railroad man. Always seems
cool and self possessed.

SMOOT is NOT WORRYING.
Denies His Oath to the Church Makes
1t Superior to Country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20
Senator Smoot of Utah, does not seem
at all dismayed over the great flood of
remonstrances against him that have
been pouring into the senate from all
parts Of the country within the past
week.
Il am not in the least worried about
the matter" he said. Il know that
am right, and there is no just pretext
for unseating me except because I am
a Mormon. l am not a polygamist,
and that feature, which entered into
the Roberts trial, resulting in the loss
for him of his seat in the house, can't
figure in my case
Regarding the charge that he took
secret oath as a Mormon apostle
which would interfere with the provi-
sions of his oath as a United States
senator, he said:
Il have taken no secret oath or obli-
cation to the church recognizing it as
superior to my country. There is no
secret oath administered, and no dis
tinction is made by the church regard
ing the allegiance between apostles
and other members.
IF l am unseated, any member of
the Mormon church may be unseated,
simply because he is Mormon"
