that the estimate made last December Of

Texas Fever AmOnr Cattle,

Recently Jos. Rooms, near Middleburg,
and Maurice Wilhide of near Detour,
bought cattle from dealers near Taney-
town.
Last week five of Mr.. Koons' cattle
died and the cause was not known by any
who saw them. First of this week Mr..
Wilhide phoned DR.. Pittinger ofour town
to come up to his place at once to treat
his sick herd, several Of which had died.
The Doctor went and examined them and
diagnosed-either Texas Fever OF An
thrax but thought the former disease
right and told Mr.. Wilhide he was oblig-
ed under a penalty to report it to the
State Veterinary Board. He immediate
ly requested DR.. Allen German of Balti-
more to come up, which he did and on
last Tuesday they together went to Mr..
Wilhide's and the disease was pronounc-
ed Texas Fever and S Of his herd were
then dead.
They are now quarantined under State
law on the premises and are not permit
ted to commingle with other stock. 1t is
a warm climate disease, develops in from
10 days to 4 or S weeks and never reach
es this far north unless brought here by
imported stock. 1t is a contagious and
fatal disease and but few recover from
it. About 10 were bought by the men
named and DR.. Pittinger thinks all will
die, and if warm weather continues 9TH
err native cattle may contract it.
Veterinarians are bound under a pen.

For "AutOists" Convenience.


The suggestions of the Editors of the
Carroll Record and the CLARION that sign
boards bearing the name Of the town be
placed at the entrances of the town on
thoroughfares most used by autoists is
in some respects good one but the time
is rapidly approaching when the author
tiles of Thurmont especially will have to
place some restrictions upon the running
Of automobiles through the streets Of
Thurmont if our charter permits such ac-
ton.
The drivers of automobiles are becom-
ing more reckless daily and on Sunday
last one collision occurred on Church ST.,
near the Lutheran church, and second
would doubtless have occurred but for
the skillful driving of a conveyance drawn
by horse.
The collision referred to occurred about
eight o'clock in the evening, when MIR.
"Bud" Rowe with surrey in which
were hitched two horses was standing in
front of the office of DR.. M. A. Birely.
A touring car approaching from Emmits-
burg while being run very slowly, was
very carelessly driven and the result was
that the wheels of the car struck the
wheels of the carriage showing the latter
towards the centt Of the street several
feet and badly frightening the horses.
The writer was present at the time of
this accident and is satisfied that nothing
but carelessness was the cause of the
collision. The driver of the automobile
(Which bore No. lO949 on the rear Light
did not even offer any apology to Mr..
Rowe but seemed very anxious to get
away from the scene of the accident.
The crossing of Main street and the
pike through town SO much used by au-
toists is indeed very bad one and we
have but to stand near the square on
Sunday to see a confirmation of these
charges of reckless running.
In connection with the suggestions be-
fore referred to, it might be well to have
painted on these same sign boards ere
duce Speed" SO that there may be no
possible excuse for fast running through
Thurmont.
The writer is taking the most liberal
view possible in this matter but realizes
that it is only matter Of time that some
accident will result either at the crossing
referred to or on the streets Of Thurmont
used by these tourists.
Autoists have perfect right to use all
public highways but they must cease to
be reckless and use better judgment.
Town fathers, wake up and take action.

Academy of Music.

1.-THE Clansman, by Thomas Dixon.
Jr., will play return engagement at
the Academy of Music, Baltimore, begin
ming Monday night, October l, for one
week with Wednesday and Saturday mat
inees. The phenomenal success OF this
remarkable play last season was such
that it is generally referred to as the
most talked of play during the past for
ty years. Dealing as it does with proba-
bly, the most dramatic period in Ameri-
can history, it is permeated with an emo
tional interest which carries its appeal to
both North and South, and it has been
witnessed with almost frantic enthusiasm
in all of the large cities of both sections.
Whether the spectator agrees or dis
agrees with the authors views, the ne
gro question has no influence on the en-
joyment Of the play as a play. Every
auditor is held firmly in the grip of the
thrilling situations founded on the facts
of history. The scenes are laid in South
Carolina. 1t is undeniably true that Mr..
DlAoiI pay PlSoSHto Vic law PioDiSiH
in powerful manner.
The era depicted is that Of Reconstruct
ton in the South, when the members of
the Ku Klux Klan wrested the govern
ment of the Southern States from the il
literate negroes and the rapacious Car
petbaggers. The mysterious Khan is
shown upon the stage, its habit and GER
emonial revealed, in picturesque and
awe-inspiring manner. Thro' the drama
runs the thread of delightful love story
between a gallant Southern cavalier and
a beautiful daughter of the North, and
the whole is frightened by bounteous
supply of genuine, old-fashioned darkey
fun.
The many advance orders received for
seats indicate record breaking run of
1.-THE Clansman" during this engagement
at the Acaeemy, and out of town patrons
are strongly advised to order their tick
cts we'll in advance.
Following the engagement in Balti-
more, 1.-THE Clanman" will be seen in
Washington for one week, beginning Oct
ober 9th, at the Columbia Theatre.
