OFFERS MAIDSTONE
FOR PERSONS BITTEN
DIR. G. M. CHURCH VOLUNTEERS
USE OF RARE REMEDY.
Magic Articles, Found in Stomach of
Deer or Walrus, Are the Traditional
Cure for Those Bitten by Mad Dog -
Victims of Yesterday Are Doing
Well.

DIR. G. NJ Church Of 800 Tenth street
S has volunteered the use of several
madstones for those who were bitten
by the mad dog at Third street and
First avenue S yesterday.
The existence of the maidstone has
been known for many hundred years.
1t is found in the stomachs of deer and
Of the walrus, but only occasionally.
1t is gray, oblong in shape, and some
times large enough to be cut into two
or three separate stones. Tradition
derful healer and preventive of hydro
phobia and other maladies dut to for
eign virus. The stone is network Of
small cells, running in perpendicular
lines, each cell appearing to be star
of exquisite "tatting.'' In applying
it for treatment small scratch is
made as in vaccination and the stone
is bandaged over the wound. The poi
son is supposed to be drawn out into
the cells of the stone. It is the old
belief that a repeated treatment with
nine days following the bite of the
dog, will effect a cure and prevent
hydrophobia.
Victims Doing Well. .,.5
! All the victims of supposedly mad
dog are dong as nicely as could be ex
pected under the circumstances. DR.
| U. G. Williams has wired to DR.. Parks
for sufficient virus for the treatment Of
the patients by, the Pasteur method, ant
expects ito receive a favorable reply
before the day is over, as the New York
health department. is in position tt
supply the virus to outside cities.
DR.. J. Frank Corbett, city bacterial
ogist, has inoculated several rabbits
with virus from the brain Of the dog
which was shot. He greatly deplore
the death Of the dog, for if the ANNA
had been captured alive it would hav'
been known within three or four day
whether it had rabies or not. Now i
will require eighteen days before itsca1
be conclusively shown. n
"Rabies is an infectious disease
which is communicated from one ami
NAL to another or to human beings with
out regard to weather conditions,
said DR.. Corbett: "The fact that thi
animal was stricken in the dead of win
ter gives no assurance that it was no
afflicted with rabies. We hope that
was not, but we fear that it was.
The health department. is desirou
| that all who We're bitten by the do
should report their names and addresse
to the health department so that rec
> ord may be kept Of the progress of tn
disease if it proves to be rabies.

CARD FROM MIR. oVERMYER.
Defends His Position With Reference
to Circus Ordinance.
Topeka, Kan, June 6, 1906.

Topeka, Kan, June 6, 1906
To the Editor of the State Journal.
Mayor Davis in his message vetoing
the Decoration day circus ordinance
leaves the impression that l was the
only lawyer who expressed the opinion
that such ordinance would be legal. He
forgets apparently that two lawyers
beside myself addressed the council
and expressed the same opinion as l
did. / refer to Messrs. Duminel and
Cochran, both experienced and able
lawyers. There were therefore before
the council three legal opinions in
to one against it. The mayor also says
that l stated that 1 had not "invest-
gated or looked the matter up. This
puts the matter too broadly. said
that 1 had not given the matter special
consideration, which was true and the
same is true of the several good law
yers quoted by the mayor. But the
mayor seems to overlook the fact that
was present and heard all three of
the other gentlemen who addressed the
council, including the city attorney, for
whom 1 entertain the highest respect
That I heard all the authorities that
were produced to sustain the conten-
ton that such ordinance would be IL
legal, and was satisfied that they utter
ly failed to sustain that contention and
so stated and gave my reasons for my
opinion, which reasons no one has an
swered. One OF the lawyers cited by
public press really sustains my conten-
ton, for he says that the whole ques-
ton is as to the "reasonableness" of
the action Of the council under the
statute. Every one comedies that I'M
der the statute the council has the
power to regulate circuses. The rule
which limits the council is that they
must exercise their power reasonably.
The question therefore arises. Is the
protection of Decoration day from
desecratiOn by a circus and circus pa
rade a reasonable exercise of the pow
er to regulate the circus? Would it
be an unreasOnab BILE request to request
a circus not to show or parade on that
day? Is it an unreasonable sentim ent
that prompts people to wish that the
circus would not show on that day.
Is it an unreasonable idea that the
circus should not show on that day?
If such sentiment, such idea and such
a request would be reasonable then
the action of the council forbidding the
show and parade on that one day in
the year was not an unreasonable ex-
ercise of its power to regulate the cir
Gus and the court that would hold such
ordinance Illegal for want of power in
the council to pass it would be great
er show than the circus itself.
say such regulation of the circus
by the council is reas0na BILE and there
fore legal. There is no necessity for
waiting for the next legislature to
make a law authorizing the council to
act in the premises or to make such
action of the council legal. 1t is legal
now and no court in Kansas will ever
hold it otherwise. Let the council
pass the ordinance by tn enecessary
majority over the mayors veto, or
give some of the members an oppor-
tunity to share with the mayor the re-
sponsibiIity for its final defeat

TENNIS AT LIVERPOOL.
Miss Sutton Defeats Her Competitors
in Easy Style.

Liverpool June There was a fine
attendance when play in the English
Northern Counties tennis Champion
ship games were resumed. The most
interest focused in the singles match,
in which Miss May Sutton, Of Pasa-
dena, Cal, met Miss J. D. Sturton, of
Lincoln. Throughout it was just a
question as to the margin by which
Miss Sutton would win. She gave no
quarter and driving and serving with
great power, won 60, 81. It is the
general impression that the American
will retain the Northern championship

WON'T RAISE THE PRICE.
Mutual Ice Company VIII Keep Ice at
Present Schedule.

"There will be no raise in the price
Of ice this season, 10 cent gas or no
10 cent gas" said E. D. Benner, man
ager and secretary of the Mutual Ice
company, ''as far as our company is
concerned. 1 have no doubt but the
gas company will make us the 10 cent
rate as they agreed to earlier in the
season when we substituted gas for
coal, and I am satisfied that the
change in price will be made as soon
as the directors of the gas company
can get together. But whether they
make US the 10 cent rate or not, our
price will be the same as it was last
season.
1T is true that it costs US more to
manufacture ice under our present
system where we are using natural
gas than it does in any of the sur
rounding cities. but at that we are not
running at a loss and while we are
making only a small per cent. on our
investment we feel that we should not
raise the price of our product. This
has been an exceptional season, and
there is practically no natural ice on
the market, but we feel that it is due
our patrons who have stood by US so
loyaflv during the critical period of
our existence to tote fair with them
and furnish them ice at the old rate.
''At a meeting of our board of d.
rectors last night the following reso-
luton was adopted which clearly ex-
plains our feeling about the situa-
ton:
'sWhile it is true that in all other
towns ice is much higher than in To-
peka, and the cost of production is
considerably more. owing to the neces-
sity of using gas In place OF coal, yet
the object and purpose for which this
company was established being to fur
nish ice to the people at a reasonab bic
price. and being so literally and
loyalty supported by the people, it is
decided that our prices be and remain
the same for this season as for the
past two seasons.

Ne1V York stocka

Wall ST., New York, June 7.-sTOCKS-
There were a number Of sharp gains over
last night at the opening Of the stock
market here today, while the general
range was a small fraction higher
The early demand showed the best effect
in the standard railroad stocks, particu-
larly in important leaders of the gran
gers, Paciflcs, Southern and trunk line
groups The advance in these was re-
tarded al times by the pressure against
other stocks such as the .coppers and some
other metal stocks. At II o'clock the gen
eral market was showing a good tone
A bulge in New York Central at noon
caused some demand for controlled stocks
ana there was further rise IN Reading
to l451s, followed by Delaware and Hud-
son.
The market showed strength in spots,
put realizing held prices down or caused
reactions from advances along with the
rise II special stocks
Bonds were steady at noon
Small dealings did not interfere with the
Dull program mapped out for selected
stocks. Late in the day Amalgamated Cop
per made bid for recognition, moving lIp
rs points under yesterdays closing in
contrast to its early heaviness. The gen
eral railroad list was quiet, the buyfng
being largest in the sDeciaItfes.
