that it will be recommended to tie
next Congress by Mr.. Knox, that the
$4,000 appropriation is not large
enough and that, more money will be
needed. Congress usually comedies
with the recommendations OF Mr..
Knox. In this way. it is seen that
Fairmont will get good building, in
a central location. but that 1t will re.
quire some time for all Of the neces-
sary legislation to be brought about.
There was once a law that did not
prohibit. Federal building from be-
ing started, when 1t was well known
at the beginning that the sum was
not suflcient to complete the struc-
ture. When the building was once
begun and money ran short, Congress
would come to the relief, and make
another appropriation sufacIent to
complete the building. In this way,
very fine building was built al
though started with a small sum Of
money. This manner OF getting fed

ARE CITIZENS OF REDWOOD
OVER FEAR OF RABIES
AMONG DOGS.

REDWOOD, July 11.-This vlcin-
ity for several days has been terrSFsz.
lied with fear Of rabies among The
dogs. Several COWS are thought to
have been bitten by dogs with rabies.
The head of one OF the COWS was sent
to the Pasteur department Of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons
few days ago from this town. Dt-
rector N. g. Kefrle of the Institute was
requested to examine it with a view
Of ascertaining whether or not the
animal had rabies. A telegram was
received this morning that the head
was in such a condition that he could
not make an examination. The citi=
zens are in'the dark now as much as
ever as to whether rabies are in this
neighborhood. Every precaution is
taken, however, to prevent an cpl.
demic of hyhrophobia. &
