SEASONS HUNTING ACCIDENTS.
Chicago Broker and a Florida Judge
Among Those Killed.

The hunting season thus far has been
much less deadly than those of previ-
Gus years. Only 81 persons were acct
dentally killed this year, against - in
1907 and "A in 1906. The total of In
jured shows an increase, the number
for 1908 being 81, against 81 in 1907
and 20 in 1906. Over half the fatal
accidents happened in the States of
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wis
consln, the number In those States be-
ing I, 6. 8, and IL respectively.
One well-known Chicago man was a
victim. He was Sidney b. Tremble, a
broker. He was shot by Frank Stuart,
his hunting companion while in Kansas
sistance could be secured. Judge ].
c. McKinnon of Mariana, Fla. also
was killed. A hunting companion at
tempted to climb fence carrying three
guns. One was discharged and Judge
McKinnon. who was near him, received
the charge in the abdomen. Five Of
the dead were mistaken for deer and
ten were drowned.
An unusual feature this year il the
killing of two women. Mrs. Jacob
Gantz of Warsaw, Ind, was killed by
her husband, who had shot at hawk

CATTLE DISEASES ALARMING.
Secretary of Agriculture to Person
ally Direct Fight Against Them.


Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
decided TO take personal direction of
the fight against the highly contagious
foot and mouth disease which has brok-
en- out among the cattle IN certain sec
tons of Pennsylvania and New York.
He has begun holding conferences with
inspectors in those States. One of the
greatest dangers feared is that the
dairy supply of the great cities will
become infected. More than 200 in
spectors are in the afflicted area killing
cattle which show the FIRST signs of the
disease. The Territory now covered by
the disease is already larger than the
section of New England which had the
same trouble two years ago The Secre-
tary has asked all railroads east of the
Mississippi to disinfect their cattle
equipment tAat had been in the infected
area within six weeks. The disease
when transmitted to man is seldom
fatal. Its invariable signs are sores
about the mouth and between the toes
Buffalo is the chief center of the pres
ent epidemic. The British government
has quarantined against all cattle from
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylya-
MIA.
While rejoicing over the fact that
last weeks receipts were the largest of
the year. cattle men at Chicago were
forced to own that they stood in daily
fear of the cattle plague or hoof and
mouth disease which has been discover
ed among cattle in the East. All of the
stock sent from Chicago last week
bound for foreign shores was stopped
in Pennsylvania and New York. and
either slaughtered Immediately or held
for rigid inspection. The plague was
discovered in Philadelphia, and a num-
Der of slaughter houses quarantined
and cattle and sheen killed

Americas Fire Losses.

Apart from any incidental or accom-
panying expense, the cost of fire, of ac-
tual combustion and destruction of prop
erty in this country, is equivalent to
tax of $3.50 per capita a year; in all
of Europe the average corresponding tax
is a trife less than 80 cents per capita
In Italy it is II cents in Germany 40
cents, in 80 foreign cities the average is
81 cents, while in 252 American cities it
Is $40. We have 4.05 fires to each
thousand people; Europe has SO fires
per thousand. New York City has II, 1872
fires year, with fire loss of S7,56S, 666.
Her fire department costs her $4,000
600 a year, and it is estimated that the
cost to public and private protection com
bined amounts to pretty nearly 100000,
600 a year. Now, in all of London there
are 3,S43 fires in a year. and in the
whole of the British kingdom in the same
period there were but 30 fires Of over
$4,000 cost each. and all of those 81
fires cost but $3,7S5.OO0 Rome. city

Establishment of Appalachian and
White mountain forest reserves.
Corporation legislation, including the
establishment of governmental Ii
censing system which will permit con-
troll of stock and bond issues.
Labor legislation.
Extension of ocean mail facilities
Provision for the thirteenth census.
Settlement of the Brownsville affair.
Passage of rivers and harbors bill.
Strengthening of the public land
laws.
Reorganization of the navy depart
ment.
BY far the most important piece of
legislation which it Is incumbent upon
Congress to enact at this time is the
postal savings bank legislation, Endorsed
by both the Republican and Democratic
parties in their last national conven-
ton. The outlook for further amend
ment to the Sherman antitrust law
does not appear good at the coming ses-
sion.
Control of Corporations.
Legislation looking to the further
regulation and control of corporations
by following the Presidents idea to Ii
cense interstate corporations, requiring
publicity of their accounts and regu-
lating their stock and bond issues. is
not expected at the coming session. The
leaders of Congress take the position
that the country, which Is just now re-
covering from a depression and facing
a revision of the tariff, should not have
further embarrassments thrown upon
its business interests.
Much interest is manifested in the
recommendations of the President on
labor legislation and the subsequent
attitude of Congress thereon. The en-
tire Atlantic coast will be found this
winter readvocating the White noun
tain and Appalachian forest-reserve
bill, which has some hope of passage.
The mere question of appropriating
$14,000,0O0 to take the thirteenth cen
sus of the United States in 1910 is not
nearly so important to Congress as
seeing to it that the enumerators and
other special-census employees are not
made amenable to the civil service
Two years ago Congress passed
rivers-and- harbors bill carrying in cash
appropriations and authorizations al
most $100,000,000 This year the bill
will be extremely important by reason
of the fact that the inland waterways
commission has since that time,
mapped out definite policy for Con-
gress to pursue.
Whether the proposed reorganization
of the Navy Department will be at
tempted by this Congress or not de-
ponds upon how soon the President ap.
points his commission to make recon-
mendations, how soon the recommends
tons are made and how long it takes
Congress to accept them.-Leroy L.
