Speaker Cannon Kicks Mad Dog

Ten persons, six of whom were hur ried to Chicago for treatment at the Pasteur institute, were bitten by dogs believed Co have been suffering from rabies in Danville, H., and as a result the city is in frenzy of fear. One of these supposedly rabid animals was knocked over by kick from Speaker Cannon, who stood in front of the Plaza hotel in his home city at the time 1t attempted to pass.
 Uncle Joe" did not wait to see the result of his kick. The moment he had delivered it he turned and ran at a speed no one in Danville ever remem- bered him to have attained before, straight through the front entrance of the hotel into the cafe, where he slam med the door behind him.
 The dog was shot and the cheering crowds surged in to shake hands with the speaker.-Chieago dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Tea "Curo" for Tpnhoid

Peter Buhr of l0S6 Second avenue New York, has written letter to Mayor Gnichtel suggesting cold tea as cure for the typhoid fever that is raging at the state hospital for the in- sane. He says this cure has never been known to fail. This is his recipe:
 One tablespoonful of mixed tea boiled in four cups of water. This must be allowed to stand until cold and then taken without cream or sugar. A cup ful . day should be given to typhoid patients and those in danger of the dis ease, according to Buhr. The latter em- phasized that the tea must be cold, not hot, nor even warm.
 He asks the mayor to request the ministers of the city to announce the "cure" from their pulpits next Sunday.
 Mayor Gniehtel has turned the letter over to the hospital doctors, who are skcptical as to the value of the pre- scription.-Trenton, N. J., dispatch to the New York Tribune.

URGES WIDE OPEN SUNDAYS
Professor Zueblin Proposes Municipal
 Beer Gardens for Masses

Charles Zueblin of the University of Chicago, a professor of sociology, advo- cates an open Chicago Sunday, with mu nicipal beer gardens and city operated theaters for the masses. This was in an interview with a reporter, in which he elaborated lecture he had deliv. cred on "The State and Religion" in Mandel hall.
 "Closing things up on Sunday is not best, he said. "It is too late to die tate to others what they shall do. Sun day should be beautiful day. Work ing people must have something to dc for an outlet for their energies The saloons, as they are at present, should be abolished, and in their stead there might be municipally owned beer gar dens conducted on respectable lines.
 "There also should be municipal the aters at which both serious plays and frivolous comedies and farees could bc presented. While I have no objection to the endowed theaters, l don t think they are success. They could be run by the state as they are in Europe where they are . success. Washing ton Post.

"First Aid to the Iniured'

eff you could sec some of the vicious home treatment applied to cuts," the young interne at Bellevue said, "you d wonder at the comparatively few cases of tetanus. If playful mongrel pup snaps at you, the East Side knows that the only thing to do is to put some of the hair of the dog that did the biting the hair must be from that particular dOg--into the cut. They come with incisions rocking with all the filth inn aginable; the dirtest cobwebs from the garret, for instance, which are even more popular as poultice than those made of 'chew of tobacco. Two boys came in recently the same day with cuts to which cigar butts had been bound down because, they explained, they don't chew tobacco. You can t convince the East Side that it wrong Don t waste time, but clean the wound scientifically, pray for good luck, and yell 'Nexti' "-New York Sun.

YUMA M|L|TIAMEN
 WANT ID WITHDRAW
Dissatisfaction in Ranks of Arizona National Guards Spreads to Peniten- tiary Town-Claim They Got the Worst of It in Camp Brodie.

The big row in the territorial militia growing out of tue encampment at Camp Brodie is rapidly spreading and there is now strong likelihood of the disbandment of one or more companies of the National Guard. The petition of large percentage of the Phoenix company to be allowed to resign was published last Wednesday and at the same time vociferous kicking of sol dier boys from other towns was com monted on, says Yuma paper.
 A report from Phoenix today says that the trouble in that city has been practically settled, but the company there are still inclined to be belliger- ent
 Now comes forward Yuma with the loudest kick of all. From captain to high private the entire company de- sires to be mustered out. A round robin is being signed by all the men of the company, setting forth their griev- anccs and asking for their immediate discharge, while the officers will back it up with a strong recommendation that the wholesale request for discharge be complied with, and in turn rendering their own resignatiOns.
 The letter being signed by the men is evidently a red hot onc A copy could not be secured, but of its con tents the boys, who contained them selves in silence for few days, are now willing to talk freely
 They charge that throughout the en- tire encampment Company II was treat ed atrociously. The Yuma soldiers were made the victims of many times more than their share of the camp drudgery. while the discipline they were subjected to was decidedly tempered in its appli- cation to the favored B and C compan- ies of Phoenix and Tempe respectively. In the matter of policing the camp, guard duty and the like, Company II

FOR CONFEDERATE WOMEN
Definite Steps Taken to Erect $100,0O0
 Monument in Richmond

At recent meeting of Lee Camp Confederate Veterans, the first definite step was taken toward the erection in Richmond of n costly monument to the women of the Confederacy, the pro position appearing in the shape of . resolution offered by Captain John A. Curtis and calling for the raising of $l00,000.
 By request of the patron the reso. lution was laid on the table until No. vember, when it will be considered at length.
 ''If this monument is erected, the work must be done before the Confed- crate soldiers pass away" said Captain Curtis yesterday, "and it should stand here in the home of the Confederacy as an everlasting tribute to those faith ful helpers, whose suffering in time of war has not been and can never be appreciated and understood '
 The idea of Captain Curtis is to ob- tain $30,000 from the state of Virginia and $30,000 from the city, the remain der of the fund to be raised in all the southern states. He has suggested that the monument be placed in Chimborazo park, at Thirty fourth street.
 Those in favor of the plan here say that this will be the first united effort to honor the women, for, though there are tablets and bronzcs elsewhere, they are of local character.
 The cooperation of the Daughters of the Confederaey will be invoked, and if the resolution meets with general favor the proposition will go before the next reunion at Birmingham for official ap- proval and indorsement.-Wa Washington Post

Nineteen-hour Days

"Our days" said nature student "are nothing to the birds. Why, some birds work in the summer nineteen hours day. Indefatigably they clear the crops of insects.
 "The thrush gets up at 2:30 every summer morning He rolls up his sleeves and falls to work at once. And he never stops until 9:30 at night. A clean nineteen hours. During that time he feeds his voracious young 2O6 times.
 "The blackbird starts work at the same time as the thrush, but he lays of earlier. His whistle blows at 730, and during his seventeen hour day he sets about 100 meals before his kiddies.
 "The titmouse is up and about by 3 o'clock in the morning, and his stop ping time is 9 o clock at night. A fast worker, the titmouse is said to feed his young 417 meals-meals of cater pillar mainly-in the long, hard, hot day. New Orleans Times Democrat.

Georgia Expectations

Many people are most supersti- tious, v said Austin Beddock of Mariet- ta, Ga, at the Maxwell. CT know of many people in my own neighborhood who still cling to the wild and unrea- sonable ideas drilled into their heads by the old-time southern negro slave. For instance, one man living near me cannot stand to have dog moan near his house. For such thing to happen would almost mean his becoming half mad; he says that the moan of dog at night means that someone in the neighborhood is going to die. Another fellow doesn' t like the call of an owl or the scream of a night bird He says it means something terrible is going to happen. In all of the southern states you will find many people with queer and strange beliefs. They learned them all from the old-time negro. ''-Nash- vile Tennesseean.

 More fatalities have their orgin in or result from cold than from any other cause. This fact alone should make people more careful as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this disease.
