LINCOLN, Esb., Sept. 7.--(speciai y
At meeting of the veterinary state
board this. morning the matter Of the
new disease which is proving fatal to
animals and especially horses through
out the state was taken up and discussed
and it was finally decided to take UP the
matter with the national board Of ami
NAL industry and the following telegram
was sent Immediately:
A. D, Melvin, Chief of Bureau Animal
Industry, Washington, ID, c..
Cereho-spinal meningitis of horses now
spreading over one-half of Nebraska. We
need assistance from your department.
G. III. ALDRICH. Governor.
A. Boostrom, State Veterinarian
In addition to the telegram the follow
ing letter was sent by the governor to
Mr. Melvin:
Pursuant to my telegram to you ask
ing your department to dender assistance

helping to stamp out a disease among
horses in this state, diagnosed by the
veterinary department as spinal menin-
gitis | am writing you SO that the
exact condition of affairs In this state
may be brought to your attention more
at length
You, no doubt, have already been ad-
vised through the state department of
Kansas, as to the extent of the disease

emily originated and has now started in
the state of Nebraska. AT this time
about one-half. OF the state of Nebraska
is affected and from the statistics that
the veterinary department has been able
to compile to date, it appears that only
about s per cent of the animals affected
recover. Dr. Bostrom and his assistant
veterinarians are working night and day
at this matter as Is also the university
experiment station. But the extent of
the disease and the remarkable per cent
of fatalities makes 1t large problem for
them to handle and wish to urge upon
you to render every assistance within
your power to the end that something
may be done towards cradicating this
terrible disease
According to DR.. Bostrom, the state
the matter of checking the
disease has now become very serious
mattor. Reports come from Kansas that
the disease has appeared among the
people and that 1t bids fair to become
serious. Il have Just returned from
Holdrege," said DIR. Bostrom. "and the
disease has reached an alarming stage
there. Fully 500 horses have died in the
last few days in Phelps and adjoining
counties and 1t has become necessary to
