STRANGE DISEASE IN HORSES
State Veterinarian is Puzzled over
Rock County Case.

LINCOLN -- State Veterinarian
Thomas has just discovered n disease
in horses heretofore unheard of in No
braska that is causing the death of q
number OF animals in the neighbor
hood of Passett. He was called upor
to examine colt. The colt died ano
the doctor held a post-mortem exam
nation and found that the caecum, one
of the intestines, was filled with lit
tie worms, imebedded in a circula,
shape. Some of the circles were nc
, larger than pin head, though there
were thousands OF them in the intes
tine. While it is not uncommon fol-
parasites to be found in horses this
is the first time in the history of the
state, SO far as known, that anything
like this case has ever been found
The effect ON the horse attacked is &c
cause general debility and wasting
away until death. A number of horses
that were not examined have died il
! the same neighborhood with symp
/ toms similar to those of the colt.
DR.. Thomas will take his specimen
TO Kansas City, where he will exhibit
/ it at q meeting of the Missouri Valley
! Veterinary association. 1t is said the
| first time anything of the kind was
! ever heard OF was in Scotland many
| years ago, and the old text books con
| tain pictures of the worms as found
| by DIR. Thomas. Just what causes the
worms is unknown and how to get rio
of them is u question that is yet to be
| studied out. Whether the disease was
! brought to the state or whether it was
, caused by something the animal ate is
! another question that will have to be
| looked after by the doctors. In the
neighborhooL where The disease was
found the land is sandy and water is
close to the surface, but whether this
ad anything to do with starting the
disease is vet unknown.

but 1t is really impossible to give

The report Of the British associa-

in different localities, but that it is
not easy to dcduce a fixed law of III

called on President Lincoln, who re

and the officers of his regiment 10
attend a reception at the White House
that evening, an invitation which was
ioyfully accepted.
When they arrived at the historical
mansion the Colonel introduced his
officers to the President, who greeted
them warmly. But when the Colonel
paused with the last one, Lincoln
said:
why, Colonel you've overlooked
one of your soldiers"
The Colonel did not understand, but
following the direction of the Presi-
dents gaze. he saw, slowing himself
away in an obscure corner where he
hoped not to be noticed, his regi-
mental drummer boy, who had stolen
along behind his superiors.
And what did the great President do
but walk over to the BOY and take l. s
hand, saying
My name is Abraham Lincoln.

He talked to the surprised ard de-

admissions will show the largest num-
Der of visitors OF any one day during

the exposition.
Mississippi day, farmers day and
Texas day were also incorporated in
the general celebration. Governor
vardeman and General Keesley. Of Mis-.
sissippi and their staffs, participated
in the days exercises.
The opening event of the day was
the parade in which 1t Is estimated So
900 regulars, the national guardsmen
and uniformed civilian societies par
ticipated and were reviewed by Major
General Bates of the United States
army, President Francis and other ex-
position officials and Mayor Wells.
