DIED IN AGONY.
Sufferings of Little Teresa MUIR
ply Are Ended.
Death Came to Relief OF the
Child Last Evening.
SAYS 1T WAS RABIES.
DIR. Keith Insists Child ExhfD-
tied Hydrophobia Symptoms.
Frothed at Mouth. and Was In
Commissions.

Little Teresa Murphy, the 2-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Muir
ply, who was badly bitten by pet
dog on the second day Of the present
month died at Keith's hospital last
night with all conditions indicating hy-
drophobia. says Dr. Keith. The par
ents OF the child live on a farm near
Calhoun Bluffs and while the little child
was playing about the yard on the
morning OF the I'd day of July she was
suddenly attacked by pet dog which
had been her playmate for months.
The mother came to the rescue of
her child and in turn was attacked by
the savage animal and though most OF
the clothing was torn from her body
she was not bitten. The father who
was feeding stock in the barn lot heard
the cries of his wife and child and
came to the rescue as the dog refused
to leave his victim and was finally kill
ed by a blow on the head with an ak
in the hands of the father.
The child was badly mutilated, one
eye being torn from the socket while
she was bitten in numerous places
about the legs. head and body. The
doctor was called Immediately and
brought the little sufferer to his hos
pital where her wounds were cauterized
and dressed and she began to improve
within a few days.
She had progressed so we'll that she
was taken home by her parents about
two weeks ago and had so far recov-
cred that she played about the house
and her ultimate recovery was ex-
pected by DIR. Keith and her parents.
Tuesday evening she showed signs Of
restlessness and nervousness and dur
ing the night went into commissions.
DIR. Keith was called and again pre-
scribed for her and returned to the
city. only to find a telephone call await
ing him from the parents of the little
child saying that she was again worse.
He returned to the home of the
Murphys and found the little girl suf-
fering from what he says was a well
defined attack of rabies and brought
her to the city in his automobile and
again placed her in the hospital. Her
condition grew worse and CONFUSION
followed CONFUSION until she died in
horrible agony last evening.
"'I have never seen a case of hydro
phobia," said DR.. Keith this afternoon,
but this little child exhibited every
known symptom and l am satisfied
that her death was caused by a gen.
uine case of rabies. She frothed at
the mouth, the saliva running down
her little lacerated cheeks in streams.
AT times she would growl and bark
like a dog, swapping and biting at ev-
erything within her reach and ii was
necessary for us to tie her to the bed
with sheets. The wounds made by the
dog had almost healed and we regard
ed her as out of danger as far as the
result of these wounds were concerned.
There is no question in my mind as
to the cause of the child's death though
her parents did not believe that the dog
which bit her was mad. Her rawlings
were frightful and her deli1 Tm some

ROBERTS ON PANICS.
Chicago Bank President Speaks on
Guaranty Provisions.

Colorado Springs, Colo, July "a
George E. Roberts, president of the
Commercial Natioanl bank of Chicago,
was the principal speaker at today S
meeting of the State Bankers associa-
ton. He spoke on "A Central Bank of
ISSUE" His address was in part as
follows:
plan is that it ignores the fundamental
defect of our currency system, its
rightly. There is no actual need for
more money to handle the business of
this country in the fall of the year
than in the other seasons and the
guaranty plans does not meet that de-
mand. The advocates of the guaranty
plan recognize no evil in the present
situation, but the evil of panic, when
the fact is that panic is simply the last
stage of the disorder. A panic marks
the stage where the system finally
collapses, but there is costly strain
which precedes the collapse and which
does not always come to collapse. A
panic comes only once in 10 or 20
years, but the strain and cost of our

ment of credits, the EXCHANGED interest

the guaranty of deposits offers no
remedy.
Instead Of seeking to strengthen
the banking system and provide the
means by which the banks may meet
all calls upon them, whether those of
panic or of legitimate business, this
policy proposes that we continue to
endure the annual evils of the most
inadequate currency system In the
world and confine ourselves to an at
tempt to persuade the depositors not
to call for their money.
1.-THE second objection to the guar
anty of deposits is that it eliminates
character as a necessary factor in the
banking business. Under present con-
ditions the investment, the personal
habits, general character and abilities
of the banker are a matter of public
interest and constantly under the
scrutiny of the community. After all
allowance is made for occasional in
stances in which the public has been
deceived, who can doubt that alert and
interested public opinion has q great
influence in maintaining proper stand
ards of banking practice?

that influence

Freed by a Bear

ASCS " e OSoA
 To be treed by big black bear; to have the animal then follow him out on big limb of the tree in which he had taken refuge snapping and snarl- ing viciously in an endeavor to reach it's enemy, was the experience of c. l.. Johnson a few days ago in the Carbon mountain country says the Ratalla Herald. Johnson has been in the em- ploy of Surveyor c. s. Hubbell and one day last week MT. Hubbell, George Nylen, John Strebolt and Johnson were making their way to their camp at the foot of steep hill, on the sum- init of which, close to the trail, stands big tree with big out stretching branches. In clim ping down the hill it was the custom of the men to seize hold of projecting branch thus start themselves gently down the steep in- cline. The other day Johnson and Strebolt were making for the camp, Strebolt in the lead and he had swung himself down on the limb Johnson followed. The latter had just seized the limb to follow his companion when, on hearing noise close behind him he looked back and few feet away, coming straight at him, mouth open and eyes gleaming like balls of fire, was a big black bear. Johnson, who is something of an athlete, made a spring and pulled himself up on friendly limb, just in time to escape vicious swipe from the bears paws, the blow falling short, striking the heel of his boot. Then he began to climb, the bear following. Johnson finally olim bed far out on big limb; the boar followed, but not liking the position, 1t descended to the ground went to another tree about forty feet distant and gazed at Johnson, Then turning it again climbed the tree and limb and attempted to dislodge him from bis lofty perch. The bear finally abandoned the job and again returned to the ground.
 In the meantime Strebolt, who had seen Johnson's predicament returned with Hubbell and Nylen. They had axes but no guns so they attempted 70 frghten the hear. But she made bee line in their direction, apparently, but stopped, returned to her lookout under meath the neighboring tree, while the rescuing party also scampered to safe distance. Finally Johnson, watching his opportunity reached the ground, and joined his companions in safety, The bear evidently had cubs, probably in the tree under which she watched, except while making diversions up Johnson's tree and intimidating him.
 So fast did Johnson cIimb the tree, so the story goes, that he overlook squirrel. Get out of the way" yelled Johnson, "and let someone climb who knows hOWn

State Flower of Alaska

c. w. Thornton, corresponding sec retary of Igloo No. 1, Pioneers of Alas ka, writing to the Katalla Herald in regard to the selection of a state
 flower, encloses the following reso- lutions adopted by the Nome lgloo:
 Alaska is blessed with a variety of flowers, which growi in super-abundance on her hills, mountains, valleys and tundra lands. But, of the almost end less variety of flowers, no other one has the double attraction of being beauti- ful and at the same time expressing, in it's name. the wish and prayer of many Pioneer of Alaska, so far from loved ones in other lands, as the "forget me not" Therefore, be it
 Resolved by Igloo Mo- l, Pioneers of Alaska, that the "forget-me-not" be adopted as the state flower of Alaska. And be it further
 Resolved that the corresponding sec- retary be instructed to send copy of these resolutions to each school in Alaska, each Igloo of Pioneers of Alas ka, and the Yukon order of Pioneers, requesting them to endorse our action, thus making the lovely little forget me.not" the permanent state flower of our adopted home-Alaska.
 The following from a Fairbsnks paper may perhaps be Ssken with @ pinch of salt: The latest reports from the Innoko, as received by letter and from arrivals are not as encouraging as come of the earlier advices, as it appears from all of them that the so- called pay streaks on the creeks are not only narrow, but extremely spot cd and that there is very little gravel, It's place being taken largely by loose, almost unwashed slate.
 Owing to Che enormous rise In the price of platinum in the last year, and to the fact that the basin of the Tula- meen river, Alaska, once prodoced . larger amount of platinum than any other part of North America, 1t Is alto. gether probable that attempts will again be made by interested parties in the near future to locate the source of the metal in this district, or to work some of the higher bench deposits oe gravel which are known Co carry plati. nun, but which formerly necessitatsd too large an outlay of capital to work.

The Monticellonian., 1908-03-19

The stock argument of the Donaghey boosters, in this coun- ty, is that they believe Ilinemon is the best man for the office. but they do not think there is any chance for Hinemon, and hence, they are going to vote for Don aghev in order to beat Kirby. Now. in this, they not only stul- ify themselves but place a very low estimate upon the intelli- gence of the voters of the State. If Hinemon is really the best man for the office of Governor then what intelligent reason can warrant them in assuming that the people who are presumed to vote for the best man, will not vote for him? People, as mat ter of course. will honestly differ as to who is the best man for given office. and this is all right and no more than could be ex- pected. and the privilege of the ballot in the hands of such men is not q menace to the liberties of the people; but when men will, through prejudice, vote for an inferior man, knowingly, to defeat someone else, the dan gers of suffrage is plainly appar- ent. Vote for the best man, as you see 1t, and you will have done your duty.
