School Opens

The Fall term of the Meade

many more to come. The fol-

The school now affords full
year accredited high school
course, and many pupils from
other districts have come to
Meade to attend school this
year, in place of going out of
the county, as they formerly did.
A diploma from the Meade High
School will entltle the holder to
enter any college and since
Meade High School is the only
one in the county affordlng an
accredited course, pupils who
desire more than common
school education, could not do
better than to come here to at
tend school.
With the above corpse of
teachers, there is every reason
to believe that we will have an
other excellent school year.

Troops Ordered to Mexico

Junction City, Kans., Sept.
Final orders directing the
Thirteenth Cavalry to proceed
to the Mexican border for an
indefinate period were received
today by Col. Charles Hatfield,
commander of the regiment, and
comma ndant at Fort Riley.
The regiment will leave Thurs
dayfor Ell Paso, making the trip
in special train of three Sec
tions, two sections for officers
and men and one for equipment
and horses. The entire regi-
ment, consisting of headquart-
ers, three squadrons of cavalry,
the machine gun platoon and
regimental band, will go.
Immediately upon the arrival
of orders early this morning all
excitement vanished and the en-
tire regiment set about packing
its effects. There was no hurry
or disorder about the prepara-
tions, and save for the unusual
number of orderlies scurrying
about with orders the post pre-
sented its customary quiet ap-
pearance. In the band barracks
several musicians were practic-
ing while their bunkies packed.
In the administration building.
however, everything was busi-
ness. Most of the officers were
there, as well as the civil service
clerks and their soldier assist
ants, all busy perfecting the de-
tails of the trip.
1t is seldom that regiment is
so well fitted to take the field as
the Thirteenth. Both horses
and men are hardened to cam
paigning by the manauvers in
Eastern Kansas and they are all
eager to get into action. The
regiment is recruited almost to
war strength, nun bering nearly
a thousand men. The troops
average seventy men each.

heat to the boiling point, use two
vessels and change so as to keep
the water hot, cover the horse
head and all with blankets and
hold or set the bucket near the
horses nose so that he can
breathe the steam and part of
the steam will go up around the
body bringing on a good sweat
and large amount of corruption
will run out of his nose. In from
one to four hours the horse can

Fair Over

The second annual Meade
county Fair closed last Friday.
The exhibits in all depart
ments were good, and since the
the Art building affords much
more room than the building
last year, all exhibits were dis
played to a much better advan-
tage than the previous year.
A good race program was ar
ranged for each day, and good
liberal purses were awarded to
the winners. No official time
was kept.
The Meade Band was in daily
attendance. They had been
practicing for this event for
some time and were ready at a
minutes notice will all the late
and popular airs. Nothing is a
a greater help to a town or a
Fair than good band, and Mr..
Olson and the band boys are de-
serving of vote of thanks for
their faithful attendance and for
the high class of music rendered.
The superintendents and judi
ges in all departments are also
deserving of thanks. They were
always on hand, doing their best
to make their department a sue
cess.
The exhibitors and those in
attendance must not be forgotten
as the exhibits and the attend
ance determines in a large meas
use the success of the Fair.
The management certainly
deserve a vote of thanks and a
great big boquet thrown in, for
their untiring efforts to make
the Fair a success, to say moth
ng of the time they spent before
the Fair in { citing the grounds
ann buildings in readiness. A
better set of officers could not
nave been selected. They have
succeeded and most admirably, |
md they may conscientiously |
say well done"
We have heard many favorable
comments relative to the ar.
-angement of the grounds, the
Courteous treatment to visitors,
md the Fair in general.

With Strange Disease.


is causing the death of so many
horses in Kansas, but the re-
suit at present remains the
same, heavy losses reported
from all parts of the state and
still no signs of this dread di-
sease being checked.
DR.. A. C, Sterling, assistant
to the state live stock sanitary
commissioner has been in Meade
county since Wednesday of last
week. and since that time has
been working on this disease
almost constantly.
At first it was thought that
the disease was caused by some
sort of small insect which was
upon the grass, getting in the
horses ears and working into
the brain and causing blind
staggers, but this theory seems
to be wrong.
The latest cause discovered
seems to be caused from a small
worm infesting the digestive
tract and later getting into the
blood vessels. The following
bears out the statements made
by DR.. Sterling while in this
county,
The opinion of the state veter-
mary board of the disease as set
forth Monday is as follows:
"After careful investigation
of the malady affecting horses
and mules in Lane county, we
believe the trou BILE to be due to
'strongalus armatus, small
worm infesting the digestive
tract, from where it migrates
and is later found in the blood
vessels, where it fl equently
causes an anurism or blood clot,
which frequently produces
symptoms of a varied and seri-
Gus nature. These organisms
are most frequently taken into
the system with the drinking
water and occasionally with the
food. The showers of the past
few weeks have caused water to
stand on some of the low places,
and this, in conjunction with the
hot weather of this season of
the year, has made a favorable
place for their habitat.
"As to the treatment we have
nothing of curative agent to
offer. Preventative measures
consist of feeding a laxative diet
for day or two, then fast the
animal from twelve to twenty
four hours and administer on an
empty stomach one quart of raw
inseed oil, to which has been
added two ounces of turpentine.
Repeat this in twelve hours.
Good care should be taken in
administering the oil for fear of
'trangulation. In case the ami
nal strangles lower the head.
A quart and a half of melted
ard may be substituted for the
,il. This course of treatment
should be repeated in from six
o eight days. Afterwards it
would also be of advantage to
rive them access to a mixture

commend that all horses be

SNAH Nus ~ Ohl tHS AdhSdS AS i
cultural College Monday, re-
garding the horse disease that
is sweeping western Kansas.
ITS cerebro-spinal meningitis
that's killing horses by the hun
dreds in western Kansas. Ex-
pert veterinarians at the Kansas
Agriculture College announced
this today after very careful
study of the disease in the field
and in the laboratory. The de,
partment bacteriologist has dis
covered germ which, it is be-
lieued, causes the disease. and
this germ is very similar to the
one which causes the cerebro-
spinal meningitis in human be-
ings. The germ, when injected
into a guinea pig, produced
death within forty-eight hours,
1t is known technically as dlplo-
coccus.
Because of the fact that the
germ has been isolated it is be-
lieved that the present outbreak
is infectious but not contagious.
In addition to the meteorological
examinations of the abnormal
fluids surrounding the brain,
spinal cord, the urine, and the
blood, clinical and post mortem
examinations were made. All
lessons learned in this work
point to the fact that the di-
sease is meningitis. Further in
vestigations along bacteriologi-
cal lines is needed and is being
made by the college. An effort
now is being made to produce a
serum with which to combat the
disease.
Remove all litter and rub
bish from the barnyard or cor
rail- and from the hangers.
Thoroughly scrub out all wat
er buckets, troughs and tanks.
Disinfect all these premises and
containers by applying liberal
application of some reliable dis
lnfectant, such as ordinary dip
two per cent carbolic acid, etc.
The first symptoms usually
are drowslness, then a peculiar
stiffness of gait, and often tet-
anic spasms of the muscles of
the body; later the tongue be-
comes coated with thick coat
very offensive to smell. The
throat becomes partially paralyz-
ed making it very difficult to
-reat, without a stomach pump
'r bypodermic, The latter be-
ng dangerous method in the
hands of any man who is not
thoroughly versed in Alkaloidal
.herapy.
Treatment-After the first
symptoms of the disease de
'elop nothing is successful in
he majority of cases, as the
worm cannot be reached with
after it reaches the
blood vessels. Therefore-in
,rder to prevent an epidemic
which will surely destroy hun
lreds of good horses and mules,
advise these preventative reme-
lies.
Take all feed from horse for
"a hours, then give one quart of
pure raw linseed oil and 2 ounces
If turpentine for each animal
1000 pounds and vary
the dose according to size. Re-
peat in twelve days. This rem
edy can safely be given to mares
n foal as well as others. Then
take your horses from the pas
Iure as the worms are in the
ponds and on the grass IN low

places; then feed corn, fodder or
cane, hay or alfalfa.
"Remove all horses from
their accustomed feeding or
grazing places and place them in
the disinfected corrals and
barns. Feed them green corn
fodder, green silage and oil cake
meal, or any food that has lax
ative action. Every time the
borse is watered, from one-half
to ole teaspoonful of perman-
ganate of potash should be put
in each bucketful of water.
Horses should be kept away
from diseased animals, and all
articles or places that have come
in direct contact with these ami
mails should be Immediately dis
infected. Horses should be
kept from pasture till cooler
weather begins. Diseased hors-
es should have a separate at
tendant, and all water buckets
and other utensils used for sick
horses should be kept away from
healthy animals. These meas
ures should be thoroughly car
ried out as half hearted attempts
are useless.
Most of the affected horses
die. But curative measures will
help some. The following have
given the best results:
Keep the animal in a shady
place. Place on top of the head
cold packs either of ice or water.
Or this mixture may be used:
One pound of Glauber salt, one
pound of ordinary salt, and one
pound of salt petre. To these
should be added a small guam
tlty of vinegar. Do not drench
affected animals as the throat is
paralyzcd and they cannot swal-
low; drenchlng will therefore re-
suit in lung fever. Every two
or three hours inject into the
rectum about one half gallon of
cold water, and three or four
times daily inject in the same
way some milk to which has
been added two or three we'll
beaten eggs"
There seems to be little hope
Of curing animals already affect
ed with the disease, and many of
our people are devoting their
entire attention to caring for
those not yet taken with the dis
ease, and the immediate dispos-

Horses were first affected IN
Ness County, and the course of
he disease seems to be south
Up to Monday of
his week no cases had been re-
ported in Seward county, while
n Gray county between 200 and
$50 were reported to have died
rom the disease. In Meade
county between one and two
hundred have died within the
past week.
Every effort is being made to
get the disease stamped out.
Besides being great loss,
threshing and fall blowing have
been indefinitely postponed.
Word comes from Plains,
Kansas, that mules take the dis
ease as we'll as horses, that two
have died and others are sick.
