DIED OF HYDRoPHosIA.
Cattle Bitten by Mad Coyote In Yuma
County.

Denver.-Eleven head OF cattle, bit
ten by a mad coyote, perished miser-
ably upon ranch in Yuma county a
few days ago, according to report
made by DIR. Charles G.. Lamb of the
State Board of Veterinary Surgeons.
The owner of the cattle, prominent
ranchman, was unable to account for
the crazy antics of the animals. He
could not figure out what disease had
stricken them, and reported the mat
ter to the State Board of Veterinary
Surgeons with the result that DR..
Lamb went to investigate.
DIR. Lamb, after making an examina-
ton. declared that the animals were
victims of hydrophobia. and inquiries
developed that in the vicinity of the
range there had wandered a mad
coyote.
Cases of this kind are extremely
rare in Colorado. Upon the records of
the State Board OF Veterinary Sur
geons there are only two previous
cases of cattle contracting hydrophobsa
from coyotes.

MANUAL TRAINING.

Manual training is likely to go into
the public schools OF Oskaloosa in
the near future if the recommends
tions of Superintendent F. w. Else,
as made to the new school board after
its organization last evening be adopt
ed by that body. Mr.. Else, after an
examination into the manual training
and domestic economy departments OF
other schools. has decided that the
courses are practical for the city OF
Oskaloosa.
Mr.. Else reported last evening to
the board the results of his recent
trip of investigation to Iowa City,
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline.
He brought with him, in addition to
faith in manual training as an aid to
education, several samples of the
work done by the pupils of the diff

Fifteen hundred dollars will cover
the entire cost of instruction in both

plans Of Superintendent Else. Nine

The latter branch is to be taught
to the boys of the school. A shop
with benches and the simple tools
will be fitted out in the High school
building and the students will take
their instruction there. Inc children
of the sixth grade VIII probably be
the first to take up the training
should the school board put it In.
Domestic science will also require
a laboratory, not as extensive nor as
expensive as that of the manual
training. Little girls will here re-
ceive training at competent hands, in

of womankind.
The school board is considering the
matter earnestly, ana according to
