A cow belonging to Eli Gerber died Monday afternoon after suffering for several hours from a strange disease, that is thought possibly to have been hydrophobia. Dr. Gwin, the city health officer, sent the head to the state laboratory for analysis and will probably receive a report tomorrow. Jim Reed lost a calf Saturday from what seems certainly to have been the disease. The animal frothed at the mouth and bellowed for several hours and ran through the hedge fence and cut up capers much the same as the Gangloff boys’ calf that died several weeks ago. Lodts H. Swartz was in from south of town yesterday to have a dog bite cauterized. Sunday morning he went to the home of his farm neighbor, Jake Hensler, on an errand and Jake’s dog slipped up and took a snap at him. One tooth penetrated the calf of the leg through his trousers and underdrawers, barely breaking the skin. There was nothing Ao indicate that the dog was afflicted with rabies, but after Louis thought the matter over a few hours he decided that he had best be on the safe side and have the bite cauterized. The dog had been muzzled until just a few minutes before, when Mrs. Heusler took the muzzle off so that the dog could catch a chicken.

Did you ever see a star In daytime? One can be seen now, even on the brightest sunshiny day, and at noon.it you knew where to look for it. It ’■ Venus, now the evening star, which blazes out in the west so brightly just after sunset. Venue is now approaching its farthest distance from the sun, and because of thia fact gets far enough away from the bright orb to shine out by its own reflected light, even in the face of the sun. Venus is about three hours behind the sun—that is, east of it. That means that when the sun is at zenith, Venus is about one-half way down the zenith to the eastern horison; or, when the sun is une-half way down from the noon mark to the western horison, Venues at zenith.
