Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and
so terrifying that its symptoms and treat
ment are little understood AS a matter
of fact, the commonly accepted express
sion of madness in a dog is often misead-
ing. The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as it is said. On the contrary, mad
dogs often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swallow.
The mad dog does not froth at the
mouth. 1t does not run amuck, swapping
at everything in its path.
What, then, are the indications of the
mad dog? To those familiar with a given
dog the surest symptom and the one which
would excite closest attention is a dis
tinct and unaccountable change in the
dogs disposition-a staid dog becoming
excitable and a frisky one dull. That con-
dition does not necessarily mean rabies,
but it is suspicious, and if, in addition,
the dog has trouble in swallowing-as
though it seemed to have a bone in it's
throat-beware That dog should be in
stantly tied up, because if it be rabies it
takes but a day or two for ferocious in
stincts to develop.
The unmistakable evidence, however, of
dog with rabies is the sticky, whitish
saliva which covers the teeth and shows
on the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms of rum
ming fury, during which it banks hoarsely,
which alternate with periods of temporary
exhaustion.-Caspar Whitney, in Outing
for July.

Denver correspondence F:

Denver correspondence:
William Jennings Bryan of Nebras-
ka was nominated for the presidency
by the Democratic party in national
convention at $40 O'Clock Friday
morning. At the same session the plat
form on which Mr.. Bryan and his rum
ming mate are to make their political
bow to the American electorate was
adopted unanimously. 1t was Bryan
platform from first to last, even the
antitrust plank being finally adopted
as Mr.. Bryan wanted it. Both the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan and the
adoption of his platform were accom-
panied by scenes of widest enthusi-
asm.
Mr. Bryan was nominated on the
first ballot, the vote standing:
Bryan $3.50. ............... .S9215
johnson ....... ............... 40
Ofdy ....'. ...-....'.. .'...... o912
The nomination was made unani-
nous on motion of W. S. Hammond,
of Minnesota, who had nominated Gov
ernor Johnson.
The convention was called to order
at II 80 o'clock Thursday. Henry D.
Clayton of Alabama took the gavel as
permanent chairman, and delivered a
speech lasting an hour. ClaytOn's
speech was we'll received by the 1000
persons crowded into the auditorium.
1t was radical, compared with the adj
dress Bell of California delivered when
he took the platform Tuesday. Chair
man Clayton denounced the Republican
party, President Roosevelt and the
Chicago convention in scathing terms.
He did not mince his words in char
acterization of the sins of omission
and commission of the Republicans as
he saw them. His remarks were taken
as a message direct from Bryan. He
had conferred with the Nebraskan and
revised his speech at his suggestion,
according to common report.
Thursday was the biggest day of
the convention, with the stage all set
for the nomination of William J.
Bryan for the Presidency OH a plat
form practically drafted by himself,
the only exception being the anti-in-
junction plank, which was more radi-
cal than the Nebraskan demanded. 1t
was planned that after the address of
Mr.. Clayton the convention would take
a recess until night, which meant
that the nomination of a candidate for
the presidency would not come until
