Tnls distressing affection, called In

before s and after 20 it is rare.
Girls are affected more frequently
than boys, nearly in the proportion of
three to one
what the essence OF the dlseaes Ia
physicians do not yet know. Some
think 1t consists in an undue irritabili
ty OF that portion of the nervous sys-
TEN which has to do with muscular
contraction, others that it is due to IA
tigue or exhaustion of the nerves. The
principal symptom of chorea is an In.
voluntary contraction of certain mus
cles, commonly those of the face. neck
and arms, giving rise to irregular
movements of the head and arms. cou-
pied with grimaces. In severe cases
the muscles of the trunk and the legs
are affected, so that the sufferer is un-
able to walk, and even rolls and tosses
about Ia the bed.
The constant movements give rise m
an intense and painful fatigue. Some
times the spasmOdic twitching of the
tongue and the muscles concerned in
the act of swallowing interferes with
the taking Of food, and the patient
suffers from semistarvation. Sleep Is
prevented or disturbed, although when
sleep does occur the movements usually
cease. In the milder forms there NAV
be only slight twitchings of the mus
cles of the face, the patient seeming
only to be making faces" at people.
Ihe disease often, although not al,
ways, follows an attack of rheuma-
tlsm, or 1t may be Occasioned by
fright or some other shock to the ner
Vous system. Eye-stran is believed to
be cause in some cases. 1t is some
times initiative in character, being ex-
cited by the sight of another child who
has ST. Vitus' dance, and in this way
the disease may spread, as by conta-
gion, through school. The strain of

and insufficient playtime, seems to be
an occasional cause, or at least to pre-
dispose to an attack.
The treatment of chorea by drugs ia
unsatisfactory. Some have been ex-
tolled as curative, but further trial
has usually shown that the recovery
was In large measure due to other
things. Much good can be done by alb

R. ]. Beall, a brother of Congress
man Jack Reall, last Monday even
4ng, was remanded without bail by
Justice J. F. Williams, following an
examining trial yesterday.
-Four witnesses gave testimony.
They were D. c. Burns, who was sit
ting in the doorway of the saloon
when the shots were fired; William
Skaggs, with whom Beall was walk
ing up Elm street near Crowdus as
he was shot; DR.. H. L. Moore, who

INTANGIBLE VALUES ARE FIXED
State Tax Board Completes Its Labors
Upon Annual Report

Austin, Texas, May 22.-The state
tax board yesterday announced its
final valuation of the intangible as
sets of the railroads of the state and
few bridge and toll companies COM
ing within the provision of the law.
The board finds the total intangible
assets of these corporations for the
current year to be $173,7 ,731, 498,
which is an increase of 1887, ,023
over the final valuation of intangible
assets of the railroad last year. Some
mary estimate of the intangible as
sets and fixed the amount of $780,,
GOO 600, but before this was made
final a notice was issued by the tax
commissioner advising the railroads
to appear before the board and offer
any reason why the amount found
in the preliminary estimate should
not be made final, This hearing was
held and consumed a week or SO.
and as result, there was a scaling
of the preliminary estimate of ap-
proximately s15.oo0.000, being the
difference between $1S9 300, 200 and
S173,737, 7,023. This decrease was
made, Tax Commissioner Dashiell
said, on the showing made by some
of the railroads. The decrease, how
ever, is much less than the decrease
which was made last year by the
board in its report, as at that time
the preliminary estimate was re-
duced about $4,000, 900.
