Anthrax Epidemic

Much alarm has resulted from the
discovery that certain pastures south
of town contained cattle and horses
infected with anthrax, a deadly dis
ease among all kinds Of stock and one
possible Of contracting by human
beings. Following the loss OF two
horses and thirty cows by J. T. Case
and two cows by E. ]. Sheppler, the
state veterinarian, w. W. Yard, was
called from Denver and, after micro
scopic examination was made OF the
blood Of several of the victims, he
pronounced it anthrax and immed.
lately placed quarantine on all
stock In these two and adjoining
pastures, and ordered all the herds to
be vaccinated. DR.. Richards, the
local veterinarian. was kept busy
severrl days at this work and one day
put sixty through the process. 1t is
thought that all danger OF the disease
spreading is past.
DR.. Yard informs us that in rain
countries the germ responsible for this
disease lives underground for as many
as eleven years and is brought to the
surface by worms. This is not likely
to occur here owing to the dry climate
and scarcity of earth worms, and II
proper care is taken to prevent stock
from watering In stagnant.pools there
is little danger OF an epidemic. The
disease can be contracted by human
beings only by the germs coming 10
contact with the blood through abra-
siOns Of the skin.

MRS. H. A. Brooks.1
Child of our love, how sweet was thy form.
Fair as the lily thy face:
Dear to our hearts. every look it has worm
Bright as a sunbeam Of grace.
Child of our love. how mild was thy voice.
Oft like dew drop II fell.
Cheering our spirits. it bade them rejoice
Breathing a soft all is we'll
Child Of our loye. how sweet was thy smile
Sweet like the rosebuds Of May:
Soft was thy touch like an excellent oil.
Soothing our heartaches away.
Light was thy football like feathery flake
Falling from Heaven to earth:
Sweet was thy laughter like music to wake
Souls from despair with it's mirth.
Vera dear Vera thou child of our love.
o must we say thou art gomez
Gone with those messengers silent that came.
Came as the night hastened on.
Gone from our household but not from our hearts
There we shall find you for aye.
Cherished and loved when those tear drops that
start
Fore'er shall have vanished away.
o how we miss thee. how strong was the cord
Binding our hearts unto thine
None but the Father can solace afford.
Naught but affection divine.
Parents and brothers and sisters 30 dear
All must meet thee above.
Be thou our angel to pilot us there
To greet thee thou child Of our love.
