in his arms, shoulders and chest,
which REQUIRED several times since,
the attacks lasting for but a short
time, but he did not seem to
regard his condition as serious.
He continued to attend to his
Office duties as usual, and only the
last three days said he had not
been feeling very well. He was
about town as usual on Monday,
and although he did not appear so
we'll as few days previously there
was nothing to indicate that final
dissolution was so near.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon from the Presbyterian
church, under auspices of the
Knights of Pythias. Rev. w. ]
Thompson oficiated, assisted by
Rev. A. w. Luce. Mr.. Thomp'
sons sermon was an eulogium on

Adolph w. Post was born in
Nassau. Germany, May 1o, 1845.
He came to America with his
parents at the age Of 10 years, re-
siding many years in Illinois, later
removing to Kansas. In 1870 he
was married to Mary E. Gilman.
Mr.. Post came west with his
family in 1884, locating at Rath-
drum where they have made their
home ever since, acquiring extern
sive property interests here. He
first engaged in the sawmill bust
ness, from which he retired later
to devote his attention to other
interests.
Active in church work, K. of P.
lodge circles and as one of the
prominent republicans of northern
Idaho, Mr.. Post acquired wide
acquaintance. In 1856 he helped
organize here the first Presbyter-
ian church in Kootenai county,
and devoted a great deal of time
to its welfare until his death. He
was charter member of Panhan
die Lodge No. 10, K. of P,
organized in Rathdrum Ian. 8,
1892, was its first past chancellor
and first grand representative, as.
sisting in the organization of the

grand master of exchequer at that
time and was reelected at each of
the nineteen succeeding annual
conventions of the grand lodge
held in various places in Idaho.
He was much interested in thi !
work and was looking forward with
pleasure to this years convention

all infectious diseases, and the killing OF
the dog should always be discouraged.
Until recently 1t was considered that
the dogs saliva became virulent only
three days before the appearance OF symp-
toms of rabies. According to some recent
experiments by Nicolas, 1t has been
found that the saliva may become virulent
six or even eight days before the symp-
toms develop. Therefore in case the ami
NAL remains healthy for ten days after it
has bitten the person or animal, no dam
ger need be apprehended from that bite,
even though the dog develop rabies with

try. Within the last few years mad

the owner stating that it had prevented
several cases of rabies and he was anx-
ious for it to be tried by the bureau.
Some Of these madstones. properly called
hair falls, are obtained from the stom-
achs of various wild and domestic ami
mails They are in some cases composed
of matted hair which the animal has
licked from it's body and swallowed; but
in the majority of cases they consist OF
masses of vegetable fiber, such as the
awns Of clover and boards Of grain,
which have gradually collected over
considerable period Of time and are form
ed into spherical shape by the contrac-
ton of the gastric walls. Gallstones, in
testinal calculi and. in fact, any porous
stones, may be used as madstones.
After a person has been bitten the
maidstone Is applied to the wound. and
it is believed that the longer it adheres
the more sure it is of preventing the
disease. Whether it will stick or not de-
ponds entirely on the amount of hem
orrhage or discharge from the wound.
Where this is profuse the blood infiltrates
the meshes Of the maidstone. soon coagu-
lates or dries and tends to hold it in
place, and it adheres for a considerable
time under such circumstances. In these
cases the virus is supposed to be removed
and the treatment is heralded a success.

having an excessive feeling Of fear and
uneasiness. The eyes were staring and q
general expression Of anxiety pervaded
her countenance. Her mind was clear.
and no efforts at violence were made.
When interviewed. as to the scars on her
head and forearm she lightly replied.
oh, a dog bit me there some weeks
ago, but they are all right now
From time to time. reflex spasms in
volving the muscles used in swallowing
were noticed, causing clutching at the
throat and difficult breathing during the
attack. These rapidly became more gen.
eralized and soon involved the respiratory
muscles. Attempts at vomiting would
then occur, but no excavations followed.
Contrary to the views Of our skeptical
friends, the patient accredited these
symptoms to indigestion. and had not the
slightest suspicion OF the true nature of
her condition, thus disproying the idea
that the nervousness and fear usually
seen in the early stages Of rabies in the
human subject are due to the natural
dread OF the disease, and apprehension of
the consequences, rather than to organic
changes in the central nervous system.
During the night these symptoms became
more aggravated and spasms followed
one another more rapidly, causing grave
delirium. The patient finally became
violent, requiring the adoption OF forcibie
measures to keep her under control.
Death occurred on the following morn
ing, twenty-one days after the bites had
been inflicted On post-mortem examfna-
ton no pathological LESSONS were found
which could be held accountable for the
symptoms which resulted in death, but
histological examinations as we'll as the
incubation OF rabbits with an emulsion
of the brain resulted in the confirmation
of the diagnosis Of hydrophobia."
That supposed rabies is in reality te-
tanus. or slockjaw," is another charge
which has been made by certain Jealous
chamnions Of mans best friend AS
to THIS DIR. Mohler said:
.'Tetanus may be readily differentiated
from rabies by the persistence of muscu-
lar cramps, especially Of the neck and
abdomen. which causes these muscles to
become set and hard as wood. In tetanus
there is also an absence of depraved
appetite or of a willful propensity to hurt
other animals or damage the surround
ings. The general muscular contraction
gives the animal a rigid appearance. and
there is an absence of paralysis which
marks the advanced stage of rabies. The

Immediately falls Off. Certain of these
madstones have been held in families for
three or four generations and are guarded
as carefully as any heirloom. Cases have
been known where people have made long
journeys and paid large sums of money to
have a maidstone applied. It's specific
value against rabies is no greater than
that Of a piece Of blotting paper applied
in the same manner. The application of
madstones gives the unenlightened public
a false sense of security. and their use
should be discouraged by all possible
means"

which will absorb blood with avidity and

1T Is commonly believed that mad dogs

land in case such an animal is seen to
ford creek or lake, this is taken as
proof that he did not have rabies
This fear Of water is symptom usu-
ally marked in human cases. but is never
present in the dog at any stage of the
disease. Animals in the early stages
when running about the country will
cross bodies of water without the slight
est fear. Even after the throat becomes
completely paralyzed the animal will

its reach, but. owing to the paralysis of
the throat muscles, swallowing is i'm
possible.
