Test of Eli Gerber's Cow Does Not Show Hydrophobia.

Dr. Gwin, city health officer, sentthe brain of Eli Gerber’s cow to the state health officer, as, owipg to the queer antics of the beast, it was desired to know just what was the matter with it. Some anxiety was caused by the fact that it was supposed the bovine was suffering from hydrophobia. This matter was set at rest last night, however, by the report received by Dr. Gwin. The report showed that there was no negri bodies present, positively allaying any fear that the cow was suffering from hydrophobia. The infection wad tetanus, commonly called lock-jaw. This probably has been the malady which causec the deaths of cows and calves over the county that were supposed to have hydrophobia. A calf on the Firman Thompson ranch at Parr was supposed to be mad and was killed yesterday. It did not act like the Gerber cow and pother ones that have been reported. It frothed at the mouth, broke fences, and gave every indication of being mad.

The Hoosier Picnic Held . At Mitchell, South Dakota.

A. J. Harmon, who is now located at Mitchell, South Dakota, sends a photograph of .the Hoosier picnic held at Mr. Kenton’s home Juqe 17th. He says: “The day was perfect for a picnic. There was 198 Hoosiers and the jolliest bunch I ever meet in South Dakota. The day was spent visiting until noon; then a table stlung across the grove loaded with every good thing to eat and a barrel of lemonade on the side. After dinner a ball game was played between a Hoosier team and a Plano township team. The score was 15 to 9 in favor of the Hoosiers. We all left in the evening for home, hoping Uncle Bill Kenton will repeat it next year. This picture was taken on the front porch of Uncle Bill’s new residence. The crops in this country looked excellent until ten days ago. We had three very warm days, thd temperature standing around a ICO, and it hurt 11 the wheat and oats in some localities, but the corn is fine, the best that ever grew in South Dakota, "but we need a good, soaking rain. We have had several good rains sfhce I have been here the last two months. We are living in Mitchell, which is a good, lively little city, and surrounded by a good farming country. The Jasperites are all enjoying good health and looking very prosperous. We have a good ball team here, all salaried men, belonging to the South Dakota league. Have three games a week and its play ball all the way.” ,

Dog Victim Unable to Obtain Aid Under New State Law.

A proviso in an act passed by the last legislature relative to the creation of a fund for the treatment of hydrophobia, requiring a stipulated sum of $2,000 to be in the fund before any part of it can be used, made it necessary for the state board of health to deny a request for the use of a part of the money Wednesday. JM George T. Mac Coy, of Columbus, a member of the board, telephoned that a boy had been bitten by a dog and asked if arrangements could be made to send him to fndianauoils iuuaediately to receive the Pasteiir treatment under the provisions of the new law. Dr. William F. King, assistant secretary, said the treatment could not be given, as the fund from which such treatment is paid for had not reached the required amount. Under the provisions of the law the health board receives a per cent of the surplus dog taxes from each township in the state for the treatment of hydrophobia. Before any of this fund is available, However, it must reach $2,000, and now amounts to only about $1,500.

John W. Poole Taken to Lafayette for Safe Keeping.

The bringing of John W. Poole, the central figure in Benton county’s sensational murder case, to Lafayette Wednesday afternoon, was a big surprise there. No one knew he was to be taken there until two hours before he arrived, but Sheriff Frazier. It was thought that Poole would remain in the jail at Fowler until the opening of court at Lafayette in the fall. Poole appeared to be in good health, but was nervous and inclined to break down and weep without much provocation. He was not backward in talking about his case and said he fully expected to be acquitted. Sheriff Shackleton of Benton county, who took Poole to La fayette, said he regarded the slayer safer in the Lafayette jail than In Fowler.

He states that the acreage is the largest ever planted and that crops are in finer and better condition than he ever saw them.

He explains the reason for the goad prospect, tbetjitie has been an exceptionally dry year and the only one since 1902. It drainage of the Kankakee river will make every season as dry as this one, wild hay will be superseded by oats, corn and wheat, and land will be worth many times its present value.
