QUEER DISEASE
KILLS CATTLE
Perry County Herd Suffers
With Symptoms of Poison
ing New to Veterinarians
Newport, Pa.. May 13.— A queer
disease, the classification of which is
unknown, has caused within the past
several days the death of four head
of cattle belonging to H. K. Steph
ens and several other animals in the
same herd are suffering from the
malady. Two of the four animals
suffered so badly that they had to
be shot. Veterinarians have been
unable to diagnose the affliction ex
actly.
The first supposition was that the
animals had eaten swamp grass and
had been poisoned. This has yet not
been entirely disproved. The symp
toms are those that result from hy
drophobia.

ASK FRANCHISE
FOR INDIAN MEN
Members of Order of Tipi
Launch Movement to Bring
Matter Before the Public
MeCull's Ferry, Pa., May 13.
At the anr.uai meeting: of the Order
of Tipi, held yesterday at the bunga
low of J. Edward Vandersloot, near
here, a movement was launched to
extend the franchise to the Indian.
At the same time a service flag was
unfurled containing three disks, the
emblem used by the Indian instead
of stars, for three members of the
order now in the service. The Or
der of Tipi is composed of York busi
ness and professional men, and the
bungalow is a museum of Indian
relics found in the hills adjacent to
the Susquehanna river. Here the
history and traits of the noble red
man are studied and discussed, and
many of the ceremonies long since
forgotten by men in general are re
enacted and retold.
It is a fact that the redman does
not possess the franchise, yet many
of them have been educated and De
come goo'd citizens.. The members of
the Order of Tipi have decided to
launch the movement in such a man
ner that it will eventually come be
fore the public in a general way. A
number ot new members were added
to the order yesterday.
