Mud Dog Causes Feavy Loss-
A dispatch from Wilkes-Barfe to
the Press says: Nineteen cows ot
a herd owued by Albert Lewis, a
wealthy resident of Bear Creek, ten
miles from here, were bitten by a
mad dog about ten clays ago, and it
is feared that the entire herd will
have to be destroyed.
The dog was killed by a lumber
man and the head sent to the Live
Stock Sanitary Board of Philadel
phia for examination ofitsbraiu,
which proved that it had rabies.
The herd has been placed sepa
rately in quarantine and is being
closely watched.
It is believed that a number of
other cows and dogs in that vicinity
have been bitten and the farmers
are greatly aroused.
State Veterinarian Pierson, of
Harrisburg, has notified the local
authorities to quarantine all animals
suspected ot having been bitten.

One of the largest meetings the
Wheelmen have ever had was held
Monday evening. The entertain
ment question was taken up and it
was unanimously decided to give a
show about. Thanksgiving. The
entertainment will be of the variety
sort aud will be a continuous per
formance. The club contains some
of the town's best talent iu the his
trionic line, and with the outside
assistance they have secured, the
forthcoming entertainment from an
artistic standpoint, should be a suc
cess. As to the finaucial outcome
there is little to be feared. The
Wheelmen are popular and all their
friends will want to see them on
this occasion. We rather expect
to see this show smash the Opera
House record. What the Club will
do with the money will be decjded
later, but the probability is that it
will be devoted to the purchase ofa
piano.

It appears now that the big ques
tion that will come before the next
congress will be the extension of
rural mail routes. By the end of
this year 25,000 new routes will be
in operation and for their mainte
nance an increasing appropriation
amounting to 3,000,000 will be re
quired, while other costs incident
to starting them will have to be
met. It is figured that the depart
ment will be compelled to ask con
gress for an appropriation of at least
20,000,000 for this service alone.
