FOX CHASES THE DOGS
Novel Experience of Hunting Party
Cunning for Rabbits Near Farnhurst

Novel Experience of Hunting Party
Cunning for Rabbits Near Farnhurst
A party of four gunners who were
hunting for rabbits between Will
mington and Farnhurst, had a novel
experience while near Farnhurst
several days ago. The party con-
sisted of Joseph Becker with two
dogs, Edward Neher with one dog,
John M. Hance and John B. Truitt.
They had been unsuccessful after an
hour of hard tramping and were
growing when to their surprise
they witnessed two dogs run away
toward a clear field pursued by a
red fox. The dogs stopped and the
brown animal also stopped and began
to play with the dogs. The three
played together for several minutes
when another dog ran across them
and frightened the fox away. The
dogs then got to hunting with the
result that they bagged four rabbits
each. They also won a game supper
from four men who wagered they
would not obtain ten rabbits
together.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Brief History of the Disease BY
DR.. Montgomery E. LearY.

A Brief History of the Disease BY
DR.. Montgomery E. LearY.
\ Consumption is called a disease of
the masses because of its great pre-
valences among all classes of people.
The first records of it date back to
the fifth century before Christ, or
about $500 wears ago. In 1865,
Villimin, a French physician, dem
onstrated beyond doubt that tuber-
culosis could be transmitted from
one Individual to another This
was verified by other famous physi-
clans, until the disease was gener-
ally branded as infectious. In
1882 the specific germ which causes
consumption was discovered by the
great German scientist Robert Koch.
Researches in recent years have
demonstrated that consumption, also
many other forms of tuberculosis,
may not only be prevented, but can
in many cases be arrested and last
ingly cured. Governments have
taken measures to suppress the
scourge, but their efforts have no
been wholly successful owing to the
lassitude and carelessness of the
people.

MAY HURT CITY's CHANCES.
That the City Was at Fault
in Fillmore Bridge Case.

As a result of the recent wrangIe be-
tween the city commissioners it is
feared that the city has lost a point i'm
a big damage suit in the district court.
In his statement to the State Journal
Commissioner Miller, who has been
engaged in battle with Commissioner
Tandy, stated that the cause of the
weakness and the worthlessnesS of the
Fillmore street bridge was on account
of mistakes in the engineering depart
ment of the city under Tandy.
Now the city of Topeka filed suit
few weeks ago against the contractors
of the Fillmore street bridge asking for
enough money to repair and make the
bridge safe.
Commissioner Miller was one of the
members of the city commission to en-
gage in the city end of the suit To
have Mr.. Miller admit publicly that
the Fillmore street bridge trouble was
due to the weakness of the city en-
gineering department will knock sew
eral varieties of argument out of the
city legal force.
1t will be remembered that the city
let the contract to the Ca pital Iron
works. The bridge was built when one
day it was discovered that it was un-
safe. The iron people said it was the
fault of the city. The city claimed it
was the fault of the contractors. The
contractors sued the city for the
amount due on the bridge. The city
sued for the amount to fix the bridge.
Now it stands in court and is set for
a hearing some time next week.

ELKs' LIQUOR LOCKED UP.
Visiting Good Fellows Will Be Kept
Sober by Police.

Wichita, Kan. May 5.-The Kansas
convention of Elks which began here
today probably will be dry The
chief of police is in charge of the Elks'
liquid supplies and he refuses to open
the door TO the room in which is
stored the large SUPPLY of refresh
ments. Two huge padlocks hang on
the door of the store room where the
liquid is and the keys to, the padloCks
are in the pocket of the chief of police.
The Wichita Elks prepared for the
chasing $4,000 worth of beer and
whisky. 1t was to be served at the
banquets and none of it sold in viola
ton of the citys prohibitory ordinance.
Drays were busy yesterday taking the
refreshments to a store room close to
the lodge room where the banquets
are to be held. When the liquor was
all in the room. the chief of police,
Lincoln Mckinley, and two detectives
visited the lodge and demanded the
keys to the room where the liquor was
stored. The steward said the keys
were in the possession of another per-
son and that he had gone for a long
motor car ride. The chief of police
sent one of his detectives to a hard
ware store and soon the sleuth return
ed with two strong padlocks. The
locks were affixed to the door and the
officers went away warning the man in
charge to let no one modest the police
departments order and locks. The
Elks are wondering if there is enough
liquor in Wichita outside the paddock
store room to mOisten the big banquet
they have planned. The mayor has
been appealed to and he has promised
to investigate the contentious of both
the Elks and the police department.

TAFT GUEST OF MEDICS.
President Points With Pride to Health
Record of Army.

Philadelphia, May 5.-President Taft
was the guest of honor at reception
given here last night by the Medical
club of Philadelphia. The president was
hailed as the chief executive who had
done the most for the advancement OF
medical science, and his two recon-
mendations that a national department
of health be created by congress was
dwelt upon approvingly by DR.. w. I.
Rodman, who presided.
President Taft referred in his ad-
dress to the efficiency of the medical
corps of the army, and pointed out that
in the camp at San Antonio, where
10000 troops are quartered, only one
case of typhoid fever had appeared, He
compared this to the dreadful scourge
in Cuba during the Spanish-Ameriean
war, where he said 80 per cent became
infected within eight weeks from the
date of mobilization.
The president said that much money

me only when I have become excited
by drink. Then only 1 go-that is
at these times only 1 have been in the
practice of going among my friends.

seen me unless excited, take it for
granted that I am always so. Those
who really know me- know better
