symptoms Of Loco disease.

When grass is plentiful animals do
not ordinarily acquire the 1oco-eating
habit, but as 1t remains green late in
the fall and early winter, it becomes
a tempting bait for range stock. At
first the animals eat sparingly of 1t
but inside OF two weeks they are hunt
ing loco day and night. 1t appears to
have absolutely no nutritive value and
stock eating 1t become thin snd ema-
ciated There is a marked difference,
however, between the appearance Of a
locoed animal and one In q starving
condition, so much SO that an expert
enced eye can tell fifty yards away
whether the animal has become ema-
ciated through loco-eating or from
starvation. A steer that would or
dinarily run at the sight of a man.
after becoming locoed will turn and
show fight, rocking the head back and
forth. The animals seem to lack the
power of coordination and are likely
to tangle up their feet and fall All
their special senses seem to become
dulled. They apparently cannot gauge
distances and will jump as high In 60
ing over a rail lying on the ground
as they would over fence. They
cannot see distinctly and have been
known to die of thirst within a few
feet of water. An object appearing
in front of a locoed animal causes
1t to rear up and fall over backward.
The disease is remarkably deadly and
no instance Is known In which an af-
fected horse has ever recovered. 1t
does not seem 70 be contagious and
when horses are ;unning on the same
pasture, drinking water from the same
source and under the same conditions.
one may acquire the disease and die
and yet none of its mates will be af-
fected in the slightest. Loco seems to
affect horses running in pasture or on
the open range more frequently than
any others The first noticeable symp
tom is that horses that have always
appeared to have good lungs will be-
come winded and cannot stand the
work ordinarily done. They sweat
easily and appear to be exhausted af
ter little effort. They will stand for
an hour at time and yawn exactly
like a tired man. A little later, the
mucous membrane in the mouth. par
ticularly under the upper lip, will be
covered with red spots. The afflicted
horses will have fever and continually
grow worse until they fall down in a
death spasm. This disease is similar
in some respects to the swamp fever
of the south and is somewhat like the
surra of the Philippine islands. The
symptoms of the disease indicate that
1t is caused by some parasite in the
blood but investigation fails to reveal
anything of the kind.

SKELETON CLUE TO MURDER.
Jefferson County Thinks It Has Evi-
dence of Foul Play.

Morrison, Colo.-The discovery of a
human skeleton in a secluded spot on
Black mountain, seven miles above
Morrison, has furnished mystery for
the Jefferson county officials to un-
ravel. There are indications which
point to either murder or suicide, but
from present indications 1t is probable
that the matter may never be cleared.
E. H. Ballinger, a ranchman, living
five miles south of Morrison, found the
bones while on a hunting expedition
with a party of friends. He returned
to town this morning and Immediately
notified the coroner.
According to Ballinger the head was
missing. He did not make a careful
examination of the skeleton, but ap-
pearances indicated that 1t had been
severed with some sharp instrument.
few remnants of clothing and an old
rifle were found near the remains.
The skeleton was near the aban-
doned Martin sawmill. which is located
in a lonely timber country far from
habitation. The hunter describes the
skeleton as that of a man, probably six
feet tall, robust of stature, and appar-
emily young. He says the man has
probably been dead for several months.
The coroner will go after the skele
ton tomorrow and an investigation will
probably be instituted at once. No one
has been reported missing in this sec
tion for several months.

Popular Author Dead.

Rochester. N. Y-Mrs. Mary Jane
Holmes. the well known authoress, is
dead at her home In Brockport. in her
seventy-ninth year. She was taken i'll
last week in Albany while on her way
from Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts
where she spent the summer.
Mrs. Mary Jane Holmes was born in
Brookfield, Massachusetts, on the farm
of her father, Preston Hawes. She en-
tered the village school when she was
three years old. and is said to have
been making progress in grammar at
the age of six. Her first work was
written and published when she was
fifteen. She married Daniel Holmes,
q lawyer of Brockport. New York, and
with him made long tours abroad.
The statement has been published
that Mrs. Holmes, next to e. p. Roe,
was the most popular of American au-
thors. More than 100000 copies of
her books have been sold. Such is
the demand for her novels at the pub
lie libraries that it has often been
necessary to keep twenty or more sets
on the shelves.
Mrs. Holmes was the author of
thirty-nine novels. Tempest and Sun
shine" published in 1854, was followed
by nearly one new book year. Among
the list may be remembered Lena
Rivers" Dorothy Deane," 'Ethelyn's
Mistake" and "Dr. Hathern's Daugh-
ters." Her last novel. published in
1905, was Comics Mistake"

Crossing Ean Plants

While nosing around Market street
the other day we ran upon a consign-
ment of bully good egg plants which
we saw at once had resulted from the
careful crossing of two or more vari-
eties. These egg plants were of
delicate pink color. The grower told
us that by the middle of July the
plants were in bloom and that when
the fruits were set 1t was noticed that
some OF them were bright pink while
others were white. The matured fruits
were long and bell shaped. The grower
told us that he produced this result
by hybrtdizing the New York I'M
proved with the Long White by means
OF the pollenization method and the
process seemed simple enough al
though We could not see where any
advantage had been gained over the
old purple sorts with which we are
all tamiifar.-Ffeld and Farm.

erea, Institute for Colorado.

Denver.-Colorado, by reason of its
famous cliff dwellings and generally
vast and rich possibilities for archB-
olcgical research, promises to become
the seat of the great Archaeological
Institute of America, the center of in
terchange between professors of arch
zoology in the universities of Europe
and of this country, and from which
all researches in North, Central and
South America are to be directed.
There is a possibility of its being To-
Gated in Denver.
Within the walls of this institution
will gather professors and students
from all parts of the world to study
the ancient Americas and the history
of their peoples as written upon the
rocks and caves. canons and ruins of
the ancient cities. The work OF the
institute has become so extensive that
1t now embraces branches in thirty
states and extends to Mexico, Central
and South America.
Edgar l.. Hewett, director of Ameri-
can Archaeology of the Archaeological
Institute of America at Washington,
d. c., is in Denver looking over the
ground and studying the possibilities
of locating the institute here. He has
Just concluded several expeditions, un-
| der the auspices Of the various West
ern branches. including the Mesa
Verde National Park Colorado; Nc
Elmo Canon of southern Utah, and the
Pajarito Park outside of Santa Fe
New Mexico.
AS a result of his expeditions Mr.
Hewett declares that Denver Is well
located geographically for the insti
tute and that the natural inducements
offered by the state will receive care
full attention. New Mexico and south
ern California are both in the field
for the institute.
