Open Bids for New Capitol.

Open Bids for New Capitol.
More than a quarter of a million
dollars was the lowest of the bids
opened by the capitol commission
upon proposals to build the south
wing of the new state house.
Two bids were received, one by
Paul REESE & Son of Chicago of S270,-
600 and one by T. c.. Mccarthy of
Madison of $272,923. Both included
the work of excavation. Separate
bids for the excavation were submit
ted, however, one by Paul Riese &
Son at $4,000 and one by ]. w.
Mitchell of Madison at $4,000.
The bids were taken under consid-
Grafton, but will not be finally acted
upon for some time.
The contract for the settings to the
big boilers at the capitol heating
plant was awarded to H. A. Bishop of
Chicago at $3.50.
The outside work on the west wing
will be delayed somewhat because of
the breaking of the two big stones
while unloading them from a car.
One of the stones, weighing some
thirteen tons, fell upon another and
both were broken.

Anthrax Under Control.

Anthrax Under Control.
University dairy farm authorities
have the anthrax epidemic in COM
plete control.
The bacteriology department is en-
gagged at present in Analysing the soil
on which the COWS were pastured
All horses, COWS, and pigs that were
considered exposed to the disease
have been properly injected with anti
thrax vaccine. The stables have
been disinfected and the bodies OF
those animals that died have been
cremated A quarantine district has
been established Until the source of
infection is discovered, no food will
pass either to or from the barn.
Anthrax, or Charlton, is defined by
the bureau of animal husbandry of
the United States department of ag-
riculture as an infectious disease
caused by specific bacteria, known as
anthrax bacilli, and which is more or
less restricted by conditions of soil
and moisture to definite geographical
localities. The progress of the dis
ease is attended by swelling and in
tense pain While it is chiefly limited
to cattle and sheep, it may be trans
mitted to goats, horses, cats and GER
tain kinds of game. The variety OF
domesticated animals it may attack
renders it one of the most dreaded
courges of animal life. 1t may even
attack man.
Like all bacteria, the anthrax becilli
have the power of indefinite multipli-
cation and in the body of infected ami
mails they produce death by rapidly
increasing in numbers and producing
substances which poison the body
They also resist heat to remarkable
degree so that boiling water is neces'
sary to destroy them.
The anthrax virus thrives best on
territories subject to floods and
foundations The particular kind OF
soil on which it is observed is black,
loose, warm and humous, and those
containing lime, mari and clay.
The bodies of dead animals infected
with the disease retain the germs for
years. Flies disseminate the disease.
1t may be carried in the winds in hot
dry weather, in hides, hair, wool, hoofs,
and horns. 1t may also be stored in
fodder from infected fields and cause
an outbreak on animals feeding on it
in winter. One animal may be in
fected and the rest of the herd well.
Anthrax may be transmitted to man
through slight wounds when handling
carcasses. The point of incubation
appears at first as dark point or
patch. After few hours it changes
and soon burns painfully The Ger
man government in it's report of 1890
cites Ill cases of which II terminated
fatally. The large number of these
was due to slaughtering and opening
infected animals. Thirty-six Of those
affected were butchers

An Order Against Graft.

Every time there Is an evidence Of
wanting nothing but honesty, some
newspapers jump at the conclusion
that there has been dishonesty. The
deduction might ibe drawn from that
that the minister who breaches res
lfgIon did not believe there was re-
sligton until he began to preach it,
fallacy in most cases.
Because Governor Glasscock has
taken steps to run his administration
on an honest basis. some newspapers
take occasion to cast the suspicion.
that former administrations have not
been honest and, II they could sue
coed in making the people believe It.
they would busy themselves making
charges without the slightest founda-
tion.
The reason for all this comment Is
the following commendable execu-
tiv order issued by Governor Class
cock:

5. No goods or supplies for the
