FEAR AN EPIDEMIC
Rare Germ Causes Excitement
in BerIin-67 Dead.
5otuIinus Bacillus Said to Have Been
Discovered in Food Eaten by Some
of VictIms-Kalser Calls for
Reports.

Berlin.-Announcem today of O
dozen more deaths and thirty new
cases of prostration have intensified
the public alarm over the mysterious
malady that first made its appearance
three days ago at the Central Munich
pal Shelter.
The deaths now total sixty-seven
and the prostrations 142.
Despite official denials that there is
any suspicion of the presence of chol-
era in the city, Berlin is giving more
and more credence to the most sinis-
ter rumors. These rumors are chiefly
due to the fact that many cases of i'll.
ness and death have occurred at wide
ly separated places in and near the
city where there could have been
scarcely a possibility of the malady
having been due to eating spoiled her
ring gathered by habitues of the Cen
trail Municipal Shelter.
The latest explanation of the au
thorities, put forth from the Berlin
Magistracy, is that the strange dis
ease is due to a microbe known to
science as the "botulinus bacillus"
This particular type of bacillus is said
to cause a deadly sickness similar to
that produced by "allanto-toxicum'-
the acid developed in spoiled liver
sausages. There has been no posi-
tive Identification of this bacillus In
allanto-toxicum. 1t is a case of SIM
ilarity of effect.
1t is announced that investigations
st the meteorological institute seem
to determine the present malady as
due to the botulinus bacilous in food
eaten by those who have been strick-
en-
II that be so, the mystery is how SO
many persons in such widely separat-
ed districts could have CHANGED to
eat food infected with the compare
lively rare microbe.
The German emperor has asked the
minister of the interior to send him
a full report on the outbreak. The
Emperor and Chancellor Hollweg have
sent messages to the Burgomaster OF
Berlin expressing sympathy for the
victims.
Tho fact that thirty deaths occurred
the first day OF the outbreak, after
which the spread OF the disease less
ened. Is conclusive evidence to Prof.
Gaffky that there is present in the
community no infectious disease. such

Rs cholera, moreover, all the symp-
toms themselves, he adds, point to a
parasitic disease.
The professor says this type of all
ment is luckily infrequent The most
recent researches, he says, lead to the
conclusion that the botulinus bacillus
Is not restricted to meat or to food
prepared from meat, but may occur in
vegetables. To this bacillus is attrib-
uted the outbreak at the cooking
school at Darmstadt in 1894, when
twenty persons were attacked after
eating salad, and eleven died.

institute have begun an examination

SPARE THE TIME TO LAUGH
Even In Depressing Circumstances tIt

lib Is thet duty of mankind, even In
depressing circumstances, to strive
to be cheerful. 1t is the general be-
lief that If man Is not naturally
lght7hearted, he cannot make him
self so.
Yet this is far from being the ,case,
and there is many a man who Is at
present weary burden to his rela-
tiFes, miserable through the carking
care of some bodily ailment perhaps,
or some worldly misfortune, who, IL
he'had grown up with the idea that to
be cheerful in all circumstances was
one Of the first duties Of life, might
still see pleasant enough world

On the other hand, the man who
can laugh keeps his health To the
perfectly healthy laughter comes Of

hood is left behind. the habit fails, and
half smile is the most that visits the
thought-lined mouth of a modern man

May Organize Band

A move is on foot now to Or
ganize q brass band in Lubbock.
Prof. N. c. Bishop formerly of
the Canyon City band is in our
city and is talking the matter
up among the band men of the
town. Mr.. Bishop comes well
recommended as a man and
band director, and he informs
the Avalanche that he is receiv-
ing encouragement enough in
Lubbock that he believes a good
band will soon be started. He
has submitted a proposition to
the band men of the town that
we feel sure can be accepted
with all safety. All the business
men have not been interviewed
but those who have been ap-
preached on the subject are
highly in favor of the organiza-
ton and will pledge a liberal
support. 1t is a good proposition
and we believe that when the
matter is formerly placed before
a meeting of representative bus
mess men that it will be accepted
and Lubbock will again score a
victory over every other South
Plains town. II this organiza-
ton is accomplished Lubbock
will be the only town on the
Plains that has a band. We can
do 1t and speaking for Lubbock
we will do it. Ready. Play
