entire subject and the probable adoption
of some such radical action as It had
suggested by the Age The lawyers had
costly judiciary bill to put through,
the administration had school and rail-
road bills TO pass and It was a general
understanding that the farmers should
be allowed their diseased cattle" and
highway measures. And so. out of a
political compromise. the aching subject
of diseased cattle was let alone.
The Herald is inclined to think that
the powers that be will be compelled by
public indignation to give this subject n
hearing this fall. II, as now seems prob
able, the Legislature will be confronted
by a deficit IN the State treasury, the
strongest hand upon the Legislative rens
will not be able to hold back panicky
rush toward retrenchment, And the in
eVitahlc result of extravaganza will be
a cramping of the States resources
dong lines OF real progress and back
ward step on paths that are now being
Travelled with benefit to the States peo-
pie.
Diseased cattle will be an issue In
Vermont This condition is inevitable.

DISEASED CATTLE.

The Herald inttnation that the testing
of cattle for tuberculosis may tie very
easily made source of profit to the
farmer is fully confirmed by the Wood
stock Age which states the case sue
cinctly by saying:
Under the present law the state pays
to the owners of diseased cattle killed
- per cent. of the value of the sound
animal, which is safe to say in most
cases, under fairly liberal appraisal,
amounts to its full value. 1t is really
putting premium on diseased cattle,
and reduction of n herd at the begin
ming Of winter might bc made profitable
unde" law which provides free test
of cattle and a generous reimbursement
for .hc loss of defective animals; it even
makes diseased animal of more profit
than sound one"
1t may not be generally known. but
most state officials are beginning To
have hearty disgust with the whole
business of testing and paying for dis
eascd cattle. There Is 10y no means a
united opinion on the tuberculin tset;
| some eminent experts in tho germ theory
declare that tuberculosis in the animal
Is not transferable to human beings. and
still more hold that the injection Of tu-
horculosis into the cows veins and the
resulting "fcver" are by no means con-
! elusive Meanwhile, Vermont is spend
1 ing something like 10000 a year on a
matter in which the doctors disagree.
! The Age. as noted herewith, is prob
ably in fairly close touch with the farm
er. and yet it feels itself impelled to

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of po!sons upon the sys-
tenn IS and always has been one Of the
most interesting of subjects. Just how
and why It kills have been determined
through series of experiments made
by scientists. The following descrip-
ton is one of the best and most lucid
of any that has been given to the pub
lie: "The venom may be roughly sepa
rated Into two parts, one acting upon
the blood and the other upon the
nerves. When injected 1t Immediately
begins to create terrible destruction
in the blood vessels. The walls of the
veins are eaten away, and m Internal
hemOrrhage takes place. While this
is going on II portion of the venom Is
attacking the nerves. Particularly
susceptible to its ravngcs Is the vase
motor system, Il nerve center which
controls the muscles Of respiration.
Paralysis takes place in these organs,
and the victim generally dies from an
inability to breathe. "-EXchange.

Nine. Gould said she will remain in

to travel very little except that she
will go to Niagara Falls, which she
wishes her sons to see.

BOLDlTHIEF

One of the boldest pieces of work
which has been done in the city for
some time was the stealing of fine
new graphophone from the home of
Mr.. NJ. c. Miller at the corner OF Sixth
street and CASTOR avenue night before
last. The machine is one of the best
in town. having cost fifty dollars. 1t
was in the parlor of the Miller home
and was stolen some time in the night,
but wasn't missed until yesterday Gf-
ternoon. The police are working ON
the case and an arrest would not be a
surprise before very long. 1t will go
pretty hard with the fellow who stole
It If the police run him down. 1t is
thought the machine may be returned
rather than have the man who took 1t
exposed and punished.

While Col Chiffon said he was here
ON business rather than politics, he

might be added that while east Chill

VOTE IT STRAIGHT.

The Republican voter should
take no chances tomorrow If
you don't clearly understand how
to mark the new ballot ask the
clerks for assistance. A thing
that will be confusing is that the
Republican ticket will be In the
first column on the ballot instead
of In the last column, as has been
the case at former elections. A
cross In the circle at the top Of
the Republican ticket is all that
Is necessary to signify that a
straight ticket is voted. The way
for the Republicans TO win Is to
vote the straight ticket and then
there will be no possibility Of
losing their vote.
