Rabies from DOE's Paw.

The popular notion that rabies only
follows the bite of a mad animal or by
exception, the licking of a superficial
wound Is Incorrect. 2. Remlnger, d.
rector OF the Imperial Bacteriological
institute of COnstantinople, has brought
forward three observations, which show
the possibility of third method Of
contamination.
\ certain number of animals. partIcu-
larly the dog and the cat, have the
habit of licking their paws. But Roux
and Nocard have shown that the saliva
becomes virulent in a few days after
the first appearance of the symptoms Of
rabies. When the rabid animal Is con-
fined in one place the saliva drips upon
the ground and soils his paws. which
are also contaminated by licking with
his tongue.
Wounds. therefore. made by scratch.
ing with the claws of rabid animal
are necessarily infected wounds. In
scratching the human skin the animal
lays bare number of nerve filaments.
upon which the virus is deposited.
Persons who are scratched by animals
thought TO be mad should. therefore.
submit themselves to appropriate treat
ment without loss Of time.-Le Bulletin

No Soldiers Need AppIy.

Leavenworth. Kan. Nov. 1.-Two
soldiers of Company X, Eighteenth In
fantry, stationed at Fort Leavenworth
were refused admittance to a skating
rink here recently and Captain NJ. Nc
Farland, commanding the company
who was appealed to by the men,
wrote a communication to the Military
Secretary of the War Department stat
ing that the proprietor had said that
he would admit soldiers only in citi-
zens' clothing.
Captain Mcfarland referred the let
ter to Lieutenant-Colonel William
Paulding, who indorsed it by stating
that 'it is very unfortunate and to be
deplored that the uniform of the Ma
tion's Army should be held in such
lack of esteem by individuals in this
community. and it is to be hoped that
some means may be found in correc-
ton"

FIRST BRUSH WITH INDIANS.
Soldiers Outwitted and Lose Band of
Captured Ponies.

Butte, Nov. IA special to tn,

ports of the first brush between troop,
and Utes have reached here by tele
phone from Birney. A troop of tn,
Tenth Cavalry rounded up and at
tempted to drive off so head of ponies
being grazed by the fugitive Indians
The herders sent the alarm to the
main band AS the soldiers were driv
ing the ponies away band of 1OC
bucks came riding up, and, circling the
troops, succeeded in stampeding the
ponies and recovered all but five
which were shot by the soldiers.
The Indians did not fire, but their
determined rescue Of their ponies in
dicates their temper. The soldiers
felt themselves unable to cope with
the force and the shots killing the ami
mails were fired as the herd was being
driven away
The Indians are outwitting the
troops now in the field. A troop of
the Tenth Cavalry marched all Tues
day night in hope of capturing a small
band Of Utes on Bitter Creek, arriv-
ing there only to find the band had
moved. Later scout reported the
Indians 20 miles away. The troops
then made a forced march to Powder
river.
Soldiers are complaining bitterly
against the actions of the Indian

TESS not to know the country, but the
belief is growing that they are pur-

search in order to gain time.
Another detachment of the Tenth
Cavalry met and turned back a small
band of Cheyennes under Chief Two
Face He said they were hunting and
they were started toward the reserva-
tion. The band of a hundred Crows
under Sweet Mouth, which hurriedly
left Sheridan Monday night, was also
met and turned back by the Tenth
Cavalry.
The Indians are making forced
marches at night to elude the soldiers,
and, owing to the poor work or treach-
cry of the scouts, the soldiers are un-
able to keep track of them.

CAPTURE SOLDIERS SUPPLIES,
Utes Loot Wagon, While Troops Go
on Short Rations.

Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. "A band OF
100 Ute Indians, it is reported, cap
tured wagon loaded with flour and
supplies bound from Arvada to the
Tenth and Sixth Cavalry. The driver
was held at rifles muzzle while the
redskins sacked the load and carried
it away allowing the driver to proceed
with the empty wagon.
Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. 2.-Further
details Of the raiding of a government
supply train bound for the camps Of
the Tenth and Sixth Cavalry from
Arvada characterizes it as very
clever piece of work, evidently plan
ned by some of the older heads OF the
Ute tribe. According to Driver James
FOrgen, no Indians were in sight until
a bunch of about 100 mounted red
skins suddenly dashed out of def1le
in the hills and quickly surrounded
him. They made little noise outside
of a few sharp yells in the nature OF
commands, and, while several Indians
kept Forgen under their rifles, the bal
ance looted his wagon train of 5000
pounds of -four, the sacks of which
were strapped to the cayuses of the
Utes, who then disappeared into the
hills.
AS the result Of the raiding OF the
supply train, the troops are in need,
and operations looking to a chase of
the Utes are practically at stand
still until supplies can be had. More
supply trains will be sent out from
Arvada at once. Troops from Keogh

| IN an address, by JOhn Graft or Mo-
bile it was stated that the cost to the
farmers of the South Is 80 cents per
bale of cotton for an average haul of
eight miles.

would be reduced to 16 cents bale. Es-

IL have studied for some years the
problem Of working convicts on our
public roads," said Mr.. Craft, land they
have proved to be the most economical
road builders to be had. The convict
has long passed the experimental stage
for road-making.
Judge Fave Of Georgia, who has had
twenty years experience in working
convicts as road builders, says: They
are the best and cheapest road builders.
While working convicts, not a single
overt act was committed, or a single
child, woman or man molested, or one
dollars worth Of property deprecated

"Mecklenburg county, North Carolina,
has the finest macadamized roads, and
it Is being done with convict labor. 1t
costs an average of 25 cents a day to
guard, feed and care for convict labor
when 1t is managed on business prin-
ciples.
"As for the convict himself, statistics
show that 80 per cent of those who are
worked in the open air, properly fed
and guarded, return to their families
and cease to be charge or a menace to
the State, while Of those who are kept
in prison or are worked in mines, saw
mills or similar places, So per cent be-
come hardened criminals.
