Considerable excitement was caused on Avenue E, Ensley, yesterday afternoon by the attack of dog on Mrs. Ike Seal who lives on Avenue D. Mrs. Seal was passing the dwelling house of George Serrio, who lives near the city hall, when a large dog sprang at her and seized her by the foot biting her rather severely. Her screams soon brought assistance and the dog was beaten off.
 Mrs Seals was taken to the office of pr. E. T. Fields, where her injuries were attended to and unless the dog had rabies the wound is not serious. The dog was shot by Officer White and 1t is probable that he head will be sent to the Pasteur institute at Montgomery for investigation.

was deliberately planned by them,
they are guilty Of the murder of q
men. The evidence against them Is
more or less circumstantial, and
against 1t the most that they have to
offer are their characters and their
standing In society. II has been de.
cided by one court after another that
a mans character Is sufficient offset
to merely circumstantial evidence.
There are many who believe the
McNamaras are guilty, and equally as
many who believe them innocent,
Those who believe them guilty base
their conclusions on the evidence that
has been brought against them.
Those who hold them innocent do so
from personal acquaintance with them
or their indirect knowledge OF their
characters. IL were well for both TO
suspend judgment until all the evi.
dence is heard, though IL may be
weeks before verdict Is found.

been so In trust cases as well as In

judges do not see why the rich should

Judge Hough refused clemency In
several smuggling cases, assuming
that men occupying high business

violated the customs laws otherwise

Typhoid Vaccine.

In view Of the fact that typhoid fe.
yer prevails In the north and north
western portion Of our county, and
several deaths have been reported, II
will he interesting TO note that the
government has demonst rated,
though II did not develop II, an anti.
typhoid vaccine. In the United
States army anti.typhoid vaccination
Is compulsory for all officers and EN-
listed men under - years OF age.
During the recent mobilization Of
troops In Texas, when men were In
camp for more than three months un.
der war conditions, only one case OF
typhoid developed, that Of teamster
who had not been vaccinated. Dur.
Ing the Spanish.A merican war more
than 10000 cases Of typhoid fever
were reported, resulting In over 1900
deaths. The disease levies an i'm
mense toll death annually everywhere
In the United States.
Tie anti-typhoid fever vaccine is a
sure preventive. The University Of
Wisconsin has thought OF the impor-
lance OF protecting the human family
from typhoid as well as hogs from
cholera. After December I, the uni.
versity will furnish the anti.typhoid
vaccine free Of charge. The vaccine
must he administered by physicians
under the direction Of the depart.
ment Of bacteriology Of the universe.
~.
To prevent the spread Of typhoid,
IL Is recommended that where one
case Of typhoid develops In family,
the Others be vaccinated promptly.
Some idea OF the value of this protec-
ton may be gained from the expert
ence OF Plymouth, Penn, In 1885. A
single case of imported typhoid fever
there occurring on the watershed Of a
reservoir was followed by 100 cases
in . population Of 5000.
Typhoid Is one OF the most DIRE AIDED
and dreadful Of human Ills. The
plan Of the University Of Wisconsin
might be followed by universities In
other states with a subsequent reduc.
tion Of illness and death.
The agricultural colleges OF Kan.
sas, Missouri and others, by making
and distributing hog cholera serum
are doing much TO reduce the enor-
nous loss In the swine herds Of the
farmers. Since the development Of
the serum by the government meas.
ures Of the most energetic character
have been taken to make the proven.
tive available to the farmers.

Physicians who arrived after

of the latter contention, they cite

The coroner will investigate.
Bauler's wife says that at $3.50

HARRY JACOBS WAS HURT
BY AUTO IN ATLANTA
Knocked Down and His Thigh
Broken

KNOCKED down by his own autOmo-
bile and his thigh broken by being
rammed against brick wall by the
moving car, MIR. Harry Jacobs, OF
Americus, is in an Atlanta hospital
painfully injured and will be detained
there some time ere he can be brought
home.
The fracture of his thigh is serious
no doubt, though the full extent Of the
injury was not expressed in the D.
telegram received here yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Jacobs had gone to Atlanta 20
bring a heavy new Mitchell car to
Americas. In cranking it up yester-
day he did not observe the fact that
the car was "in gear" and as it moved
forward, while Mr.. Jacobs still held the
crank handle, he was pinioned against
the wall
The force of the blow delivered by
the heavy car resulted in ne injury,
as above described.
