Tuberculo.i. Concealed.

AS it is the often long-concealed
character Of tuberculosis through
which 1t is especially dangerous when
1t affects animals that are valued, like
dairy cows. because an important ar.
ticle of food, like milk, is produced
within and is daily drawn from their
living bodies for long periods Of time,
this concealed character must be re.
garded as one of the important facts
about the disease. and as too many
persons are inclined to take for grant.
ed that dairy herd is free from tu-
berculosis simply because the COWS of
which 1t is made up look and act like
healthy animals, 1t seems desirable to
clearly define this concealed charac-
ter.
Tuberculosis may be acute and pro-
gress rapidly from infection to death.
But this is very rare. More commonly
1t is an insidious. slowly progressive,
chronic disease, the beginning and
early stages of which are rarely rec.
ogntzed. 1t may attack and remain
confined to any one part of the body;
1t may attack many parts in success
sion, one after the other, or 1t may at
tack several or many parts simulta-
neously. Its Entertainments are SO
gradual that the body can adjust or
adapt itself to the changes the dis.
ease causes until they have become
very extensive. without giving exter-
nal evidences of the struggle to do SO,
and often the disease progresses to
nearly its fatal termination in cattle
without showing well-deflned symp-
tom or an observable sign of its pres
ence.-Farmers and Drovers' Journal.

OUR MILITARY COMPANY
Interest Revived in the Organization
More Members Needed, Etc.

The Washington Guards have been
greatly revived by the election OF two
lieutenants and it is the wish and belief
of the commanding officer, Capt. I. M.
Larkin, as we'll as the entire communi-
ty. that the company will not only
maintain its we'll earned reputation,
but will 90 to the head of the list in
numbers and in other respects. That
this may be accomplished it will be
necessary to enlist number OF new
men, as the company is near the mini
mum at present.
Let all those interested lend assist
ance to Capt. Larkin and the newly
elected officers and make this a COM
pany that will be a credit to the city,
to the State and service as it has al
ways been heretofore. The stores and
equipments furnished are far better
than ever before and this company has
a full supply of new uniforms on hand
and the two large rooms under the
armory have been fitted up so that each
man has large locked closet for all uni
forms and personal equipments.
The annual State inspection will take
place shortly and it is hoped that be-
fore that time the ranks of this we'll
known organization will be filled and
the company continue to occupy the
high place it has always filed.

PANTS FACTORY
TO Be ENLARGED
Force Of Operatives Will Be
Doubled
Re 5UlL ING wOOLEN MILL UNSETTLED
Loss Was Heavier Than Supposed,
ETC., Etc.

Mr.. VIM. II. Duvall, of New York.
partner of MIR. John {. Melville IN
ownership Of the wooden mills. which
were destroyed by fire Wednesday
night. arrived here Thursday night.
and Friday morning the loss was gone
over by Mr.. Melville and Mr.. Duvall.
1t was found to be between Sl73, 600
and $2OC. 600. Notwithstanding this
immense loss, the owners state that
every dollar of indebtedness of the
woolen mills will be paid out Of the
$50, 600 insurance.
The woolen mills had orders ahead
sufficient TO run the mills at full capac-
ity for six months, but these orders
will only hold good in the event that
samples can be delivered at an early
date. Mr.. Melville is making an effort
to secure a mill where this work may
be gotten out and the orders taken care
of. This will be done as quickly as
possible.
The heads of the departments of the
burned mill will be sent to the mill
secured to fill the booked orders and
they will be rushed
The wooden mills and pants factory
were two separate concerns. The lat
ter has not been seriously damaged and
will continue in operation. This busi-
ness has grown rapidly, and while a
much smaller plant, the gross product
of the pants factory is greater per an
mum than that of the woolen mills.
The growth of the pants factory has
been so great that previous to the fire
plans were being considered to build
another factory to double the capacity.
The burning of the wooden mills will
not materially affect the pants fac
tory, as less than one-tenth of the cloth
used came from the local mills, the bal
ance being from other mills controlled
by Mr.. Duvall, who is interested in
both Of the industries.
To replace the woolen mills and ma
chinery would mean an outlay of at
least $50, 900 and capital of from $50,
600 to S75, 900 to operate same.
At present Messrs. Melville and Du-
vail cannot make any statement as to
rebuilding the wooden mills here. 1t is
probable that the pants factory will be
enlarged sufficiently to employ as many
laborers as the combined plants did be-
fore the fire, as this factory has dou-
bled its business every year since 1t
started.

he would probably have not been dis
covered 50 quickly for his departure
furnished the clue that tells tue hardest
against him.
Sheriff jarrett IS responsible for
working the case out and it Is pity
that he was a couple of weeks too late
The first clue was afforded by one OF
the anti Catholic letters, which was re
ccived by William Gertz, an employe
of the Honolulu Iron Works. Jarrett ;
attention had been attracted to the Iron
Works through other reasons and when
Gertz showed him the letter, he started
in to work on the fact that Gertz had
been addressed as ''Malntop. inns
nickname was relic of old seafaring
DAYS and furnished the first line on
Webb, who had often addressed the
other by it.
Further inquiry resulted In finding
ont that Webb had left for the Colonies
on the Maitai and a visit was at once
made 10 the postot1ice As expected
he had left signed card behind notify,
ing the department of his change OF
address and asking it to send ms man
on. The handwriting on tins cara ana
that on the cards and letters sent out
against the Catholic religion was com
pared and found to be exactly the same.
The two clues. both pointing to the
man. are considered by the authorize:
as being conclusive and the Australian
authorities will be notified at once OF
his character.
As a precautionary measure Nepp
sudden departure was most opportune
for himself and for the authorities who
will be saved the expense OF taxing
care of a man who would not be worth
so much free board and lodging. The
unjust suspicious against the Holy
Rollers are dispelled by the new eVl-
dence.
