Dog Crazed by Heat
Creates Excitement
Police Dispatched to West Harvey
Street and Were Compelled to
Kill Valuable Canine,

With the advent OF July this morning
dog days" hove in sight and the open
season for mad dogs" was ushered in
when Emil Barsooks Alaskan spitz tore
loose in the family residence at 1903 Harvey
street and terrified the members OF the
family by its rabid actions.
Mrs. Barsook and the children became
terrified and. shutting the dog in a room,
telephoned the police station for help. In
the meantime the little dog was jumping
around the room irantically and acted in
many ways as II the heat OF this climate
was not TO his liking.
Finally Policeman Relgleman, who was
sent TO the rescue OF the family. appeared
on the scene and with drawn revolver
bravely tackled the spitx in its stronghold
One look was enough to satisfy the officer
that the dog was surely crazy. and one true
pistol ended the career OF the little Spitz
The owner Of the dog priEed it very highly

of the deputy grand regent Of the Royal
Arcanum. who is the proud owner of two
generations of chickens from eggs laid less
than five months ago.
The arrival Of the second brood of chicks
a few days ago is characteristic Of the
progress Of Nebraska along the poultry
line and exempllfies the fact that there is
no race suicide here even among the
feathered family. The strenuous life as
advocated by Colonel Roosevelt is typified

OMAHA'S MILK SUPPLY GOOD
Monthly Report Shows Better Milk
Than Other Large Cities.
COMPLAINS OF LARGE DARYMEN
Improvement ~ shown over the
Month Of June--Many Diaries
Have Much Better Record
Than Heretofore.

The dairy report Tor the month Of June,
sent by Dairy Inspector Claude r. Bessie
to Health Inspector Connell, shows that
the bacteria count in Omaha is remarkably
low in comparison with that of other cities,
many of which boast of their pure milk.
Small diaries make a good improvement
as the report shows:
Omaha. July 1.-R. w. Connell. NJ. D.,
Commissioner OF Health: In submitting
my report for month of June on the sani-
tary condition of diaries supplying this
city with milk and cream, desire to pre-
sent n comparison of the average bacteria
count of the milk and cream this city re-
ceives, with other cities that publish
monthly reports. For instance. the aver
age bacteria per cubic centmeter con-
tanned in samples taken in the city of
Chicago for the year 1910 showed 2,25S,OOO.
Same at Los Angeles month of May, 1911.
$4,000; at Rochester. N. ", a city that
boasts of its pure milk supply, shows for
the month of May 1911, 500. 6s6. In the city
OF Omaha the average, exclusive Of both
the Wholesale and certified milk for the
month Of June, Notwithstanding IT was ex-
ceedingly hot (Which Increases the num-
Der OF bacteria), was only $3.50 This
proves without successful contradiction,
that Omaha. is receiving the most sani-
tary milk Of any city in the union. This
is an exceptionally low bacteria count,
that only be obtained by thorough
cleanliness Of cows, barns, milk houses,
utensils, immediate and thorough cooling,
stored and transported about the city prop
erly packed in ice. These samples were.
taken from the wagons as they were de-
livering milk to houses. We can Justly
defy any other city in the union TO make a
like showing.

CHIEF MAG GREGOR'S
PRESENCE OF MIND.
Tricky Highland Man Used His
Wits to Save His Head.


DR.. William O. Stillman. the presi
dent OF the international humane con
ference, said during the recent session
in Washington, apropos of child labor;
"Pd like to see the employers of
such labor punished every time they
break the law, but these men are like

sMacGregor. head Of the great high.

.sBut MacGregor had been caught
stealing. and he was sentenced to be
hanged. As he was. however. a dis
tinguished chieftain. they allowed him
to select his own tree. MacGregor,
with great presence of mind. then
chose a gooseberry bush.
The judges objected that the goose
berry bush was not big enough. but

WOMAN DISc0VERER or
RADIUM UPsETS ACADEMY.
French Scientists Against Admission
of Nine. Curie to Ranks.

Nine. -Curie's candidature for mem
bership in the French Academy of Sci,
ences has thrown that body into con,
fusion The tradition against women
| members is strong, but so are Nine
Curie's claims to sit as equal in any
body of scientists.
In their dilemma number of mem.
bers of the five academies, those OF
Moral and Political Sciences, Fine Arts,
Sciences, Inscriptions and Bellies Let
tres and the Academic Francaise,
which form the institute, have drawn
up petition by which they hope to
prevent vote against Nine. Curie and
at the same time to avoid eIecting a
woman. The petition asks that the
institute shall consider the question Of
women as members at its next plenary
session on the ground that the ques-
ton affects ali FIVE academies and
therefore should not be decided by one
alone.
Nine. Curie is likely to be an acad-
emician before the French institute
settles the question, for the Academy
of Sciences of Stockholm, which
awards the Nobel prizes, has expressed
a wish to enroll as foreign member
the woman to whom the world owes
radium.
The question of women members Of
the institute is not new one, the ira
ditton against them having been pow
4
and Rosa Bonheur. Such opposition,
however, only dates from the founda-
ton of the institute as such in 1895
Its forerunner, the Royal Academy
of Painting aud Sculpture, included fif-
teen women members. The first of
These was Catherine Duchemin, a
fainter Of flowers. who became a mem
Der in 1868; the last. Louise Elisabeth
