cision to the effect that a telegraph

ed and that under Its provisions the
companies have right to chrage extra
for delivering messages greater dis
tance than mile from their Offices

Tuberculin Tests.
When the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Wickey, ct Lake county, to
regulate tuberculin tests of cattle. was
passed and became q law, there was
one feature in 1t tha. evidently was
overlooked. While the dairymen and
cattle dealers feel that the law throws
about them ample protection against
the killing Of diseased cattle by the
state veterinarian ON showing OF tu-
berc,llosis, 1t Is doubtful whether they
will find In the law as much protection
rs they now believe. II is true that
the act provides that in case an animal
Is killed by the order of the state vet
erdnarian provisions are made for re-
imbursing the owners, but only under
the condition that the animal be shown
not to have been infected at the time
of the killing nor at any previous time.

The decision of the state veterina-
rian in all cases coming under the pro-
visions OF the act Is final. Power Is
given him to make inspections when

authorities. He may also demand in
