PLAGUE TO MAN AND BEAST.
Thousands of Animals Dic-Eight
Humans Stricken.

Lake Charles, La, July 25.-Char-
bon, deadly and loathsome disease,
which afflicts cattle, and which has
killed thousands of valuable animals
In Louisiana, has attacked human be-
ings now, and many men are under
treatment. In Leesburg, the county
seat of Cameron parish, eight hu-
mans have been attacked. Up to
date no deaths have resulted.
Charbon has afflicted cattle for CEN
turtles, but has seldom visited this
country. 1t was known to the an
clients in Egypt and often scourged
the Asiatic and Oriental countries.
1t Is caused by germ. which enters
the animals skin through an abra-
sion. 1t multiplies and causes an
Inflammation which. turns into tu-
morous or generous growth, which
terminates In blood poisoning.
The disease first made its appear
ance about June l in two localities
In Southeast Louisiana, along the
Mermentan river, near Lake Arthur,
and at Iowa, near Lake Charles. 1t
was not detected In time, and spread
rapidly over neighboring parishes.
Germs from the dead cattle infested
the ground upon which the cattle had
died and were thus communicated to
other victims. The United States
Government, alarmed by the inroads
the disease has made, has sent an ex-
pert from the bureau OF animal in
dustry to assist local veterinarians
In fighting the plague. They are urg-
ing cremation of infected animals
and the vaccination Of all others.
Once an animal is infected, there Is
no known remedy, but vaccination
seems effective in making them i'm
mune.

TRAIN PLUNGEs INTO MISSOURI.
Six Dead and Many Injured-Road-
bed Undermined by Flood.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 25.-Six
lives were lost, three persons were
probably fatally injured, and some
90 more were hurt in the wreck of
Wabash passenger train that
plunged into the Missouri river 80
miles east of Kansas City last night.
The dead were members Of the
train crew and one passenger.
or the eight cars in the train, five
coaches and the locomotive are now
in the river. A chair car and two
'Pullmans remained uninjured.
For days floods undermined the
roadbed, making 1t too weak to hold
up the heavy trains.
AS ths passenger train was run
ming only IA miles an hour, the i'm
pact of the cars was not great But
there was great confusion as the
cars slipped ard rolled into the
murky water.
Eight mail clerks were saved by
the fact that the roof of their car
was torn off, allowing them to get
out and swim to the bank. All were
injured. In one sleeping car e. r..
King was holding his little son when
the crash came. The child was in
stantly killed and Mr.. King was un-
conscious when found.
The locomotive OF q local freight
train, which was just behind the
wrecked passenger train, was attach
ed to the three intact cars Of the
ill-fated train, and all the passengers
were hurried back to Kansas City
Thirty-one Of the injured are now in
a hospital.

MODEL FARM IN CHESTER.
Diversis cation Ekemplified on Col,
Il. j. Cunningham's Place.

A dispatch from Chester says: Col.
4. j. Cunningham is one of Chester
county's farmers who is always en-
deavoring to find and apply the best
and most modern ideas in farming,
and visit to his farm little more
than mile west of the city, Is al
ways interesting and refreshinga 1t
was the writer's privilege to accom-
pany Col. Cunningham over large
part of the plantation and see what is
going on.
Col. Cunningham is, above all
things else, scientific farmer-not
a farmer who jumps from one idea
to another in mad succession in the
futile hope Of finding something more
successful than the old beaten tracks
but farmer who is actuated by
good, sound reason, and who plants
one crop one year and another the
next on the same piece of land, be-
cause the soil demands a certain sue
cession of crops, and because certain
crops following each other in cer-
tain succession build up the soil. 1t
follows, therefore, that one sees or
this farm no vast acreage OF cotton,
and cotton alone, but diversification
and general assortment of the crops
that this section of the South Is best
adapted for. Col. Cunningham Is
giving his attention largely this year
to hay, and the many acres of fertile
meadows on his home place and the
275 acres that he is farming on the
opposite side of the road are yielding
him a golden harvest of fine hay. He
is confident of getting 200 tons Of hay
this year, and very conservative es-
innate would place the yield at much
more than that. The second cutting
is now in progress, and the uncut
portions of the lush meadows show
how fine the yield is.
Col. Cunningham is not much of a
believer in terracing. His method
for eradicating gullies and washes is
by planting cover crops, which not
only stop the washes, but at the same
time lay the foundation for a fertil-
ity. He Is putting this idea into op-
Grafton on what have been heretofore
badly washed fields, and already af-
ter only one such crop the fields show
a noticeable Improvement.
The cotton patch that Col. Cum
bingham is conducting under the di-
rections of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington is showing up
nicely, while two patches OF corn that
are being worked under the direc-
tions of the experiment station are
also showing up we'll. One Is being
worked with the hoe alone, while the
other is being plowed. Other condi-
tfons are the same. At this stage
there is not much difference between
the two, the advantage, If there is
any, resting with'the latter patch.
Col. Cunningham is also making
use Of some of his fertile meadows
as pastures for large number OF
cattle that he will put on he mar
ket this fall. He also has several
Chester county raised horse and
mule colts that are growing fast and
give promise Of making fine stock. 1t
Is his idea to make his farm self
supplying as much as possible, and
the intelligent and orderly conduct
of affairs, coupled with his past sue
cess, shows that he will succeed.

THE CLEMSON PRESIDENCY.
Board Meets on 12th--The Outcome
Is Uncertain.
iAnderson Mail.)

IAnderSon Mail.)
On August 18th the board of trus-
tees of Clemson College will meet at
the college to consider the resigna-
tion of President Nell, which was
submitted at the regular session of
the board last month. Senator Till
man, who is making addresses In
Ohio, has said that he will be pres
ent. as will all the other members OF
the board There are several unfin-
ished matters also to be considered,
among them the election of several
professors.
1t is rather hard at this time to
even conjecture What will be the
action on the resignation. 1t is
known that the majority OF the men,
bers of the board are Nell sympathiz-
ers, and these are wont to decline
the resignation. In case the resigna-
tion is accepted there will be several
applications before the board, as sew
eral prominent educators have ex-
pressed their willingness and desire
to assume the presidency of the col
lege.
Next to the disposition Of the res
ignation in Importance will be the
election of director of the agricul-
tural department. Prof. Barrow
submitted his resignation to the
board last month. This is about the
most important department at Glenn
son and the board intends to exer-
else due care and precaution in Sc
lecting a man. DR.. Barrow resigned
to accept similar position with an
agricultural and mechanical college
in the West.

GUARANTEE OF RAILWAY BONDS

Several years ago the United States congress enacted
law whereby the interest bonds issued by railroads.
sructed by private individuals corporations in the Phil
ppines is guaranteed for term of years. So far
information goes says the Kataa Herald this law has
been productive of positive results Railroads have been
built and building and remote districts have been
brought in touch with the mars of trade and
and the substantial development Of their has
begun.
Attempts have also been made to the passage OF
similar law applicable to Alaska But far little pro-
gress has been made for because opposed
by powerful railroad interests already building in Alaska
and because the proponents of raroadbond guarantee
law somewhat divided to the scope and extent
srable in such enactment In the meantime believe
there has been crystaaton of public sentiment in this
respect since papaby evident that the great Alaska
interior is to be developed within reasonable time the
building of railroads is sine qua to the opening of
the country.
We do not know Of line Of railway that has been pro-
ected in Alaska that should not pay its stockholders hand
dividends within brief time after it's completion

paid for itself from the grass roots to speak, and which
