HORSE PLAGUE ON
The Dread Disease of Three
Years Ago BObs Up.
Many Animals Have Died AL
ready in Western Kansas.

Many horses have died in western
Kansas during the last few weeks
from a disease which resembles the
horse plague of three years ago, ac-
cording TO reports received by state
departments in Topeka and the state
veterinary board at the state agricul-
tural college, Manhattan. As q result
of the prOtracted wet season, a fresh
outbreak of the horse plague of 1912
rs feared in several of the western
counties.
Several veterinarians have. been sent
to Hodgeman and adjoining counties
and official report on conditions
will be filed in the next few days. A
representative of the veterinary de-
partment at the State Agricultural
college, was in Topeka today and de-
clared that reports from Jetmore and
other towns Indicated a fresh out
break of the troubles of three years
ago.
In 1912, many western counties
were infected with a strange disease
that for several weeks puzzled state
and federal experts Hundreds of
horses died in the western counties
and the state and federal government
spent thousands of dollars in fighting
the disease. After an all-Summer bat
tie, experts finally agreed that the dis
ease was caused from eating musty
forage. The condition was due to ex-
ceSSiVe rains in the western counties
and forage in the pastures and feed
lots poisoned hundreds of horses and
OccaSlOned tremendous losses to the
farmers in the infested district.
Until the spread of the disease was
stamped out, Governor StubbS received
many requests for a special session
of the legislature to aid farmers. The

referred to applied only to funds re-

Just the same, / served notice on

My views are so radically different
from those of some other members of

considered resigning. 1t seems to me
that the school board is spending
money for things which are not edu-
cationaI and in ways which the law
never contemplated. But the Com
merciaI club and the women of the
city are right at our backs to have the
money spent.
1T requires the widest construction
possible to hold that when the school
board spends money to install play
ground equipment in public parks
and employs a man to superintend
these Fairgrounds during the summer
months that this money is being spent
for educational purposes. But know
