•OOIiUMBUS, 0., May 24.—The pre
liminary meetings of the Democratic
State Oouveutiou were unusually ani
mated today owing to contests from
the larger conventions involving two
hundred delegates and nine members
of the committee that are selected by
twenty-one congressional districts.
Under what is known as the "John
sou rule" of the past two years, the
State Central Coiuuntten passes on
ooutests for the temporary organiza
tion of the convention and for the dis
trict meetiug at which members of the
new State Central Committee and all
committees of the convention are sel
ected. The State Committee was in
session during the day hearing the con
testants preparatory to the district
meetiugs in the evening.
The convention proper does not con
vene until tomorrow, but its control
was determined at the meetings today
and especially by the selection of mem
bers of the committees at the district
meetings. When the holding over State
central committee was selected last
year at the convention that nominated
Mayor Torn L. Johnson, of Cleveland,
for Governor, it was composed largely
of "Johnson men," but recently this
committee acted so independently that
there was great doubt today as to what
it would do with the unusually large
number of contested seats
At the recent meeting tbis commit
tee selected E. L. Starr, of Bryan, for
temporary chairman of the convention
aud other Hearst men for temporary
officers, although Mayor Johnson was
opposed to Hearst. Even the two state
committeemen from Cleveland, at a
previous meetiug, voted against the
Hearst organization and thev were re
ported today as not in accord with
their old chief.
The anomaly was presented of the
old friends of John R. McLean, James
Kilbourne and Tom L. Johnson, the
last three Democratic candidates for
Governor in Ohio, who have never co
ojierated before combining against the
recent organization of Hearst men iu
this state.
Does Such Malady as Hydrophobia Exist.
An old discussion, "Is hydrophobia
a bona fide aud distinctive disease?"
is revived by a letter being distribut
ed by the Women's Pennsylvania So
ciety for the prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
The society declares that "the an
nual mad dog scare" causes much suf
fering both to dogs aud human be
iugs. It calls attention to the fact that
in St. George's Hospital, London,
where 4,000 patients havo been receiv
ed who were bitten by dogs supposed
to have been mad, not one developed
hydrophobia.
Many doctors are quoted to the effect
that they have never seen a case of
hydrophobia, and the letter is endors
ed by six physicians, who say that, if
there is such a thing as rabies, they
have yet to see it.
Several of them have made a practice
of following up the cases reported,
aud one in Philadelphia has gone so
far as to offer 1100 for a case of rabies
which oan be proved to be such.
Improvements at Geraiania Brewery.
Koust Bros iu the work of rebuild
ing at the Germania Brewery have ac
complished quite a feat by erecting a
new building without tearing down
the old one to make room for it.
A substantial brick building is re
placing the rambling aud dilapidated
frame structure, which for the great
er part of the last century was a land
mark on the spot. The owners began
the work with the intention of keep
ing the brewery in operation while re
building, if possible, and in tbis they
have succeeded. Only one section of
the brewery is built at a time and the
work is so conducted that it is neces
sary to pull down only a small portion
of the obi buildng at one time, as the
new wall rises to take its place. A
greater part of the brick work to
the second story was laid up with the
roof of the old structure still overhead
and the work 111 the brewery going 011
without the least interruption.
Small Brushes are Reported.
TOKIO, May 23. — 4 p 111—Tho Jap
anese landed at Takustan report hav
ing been engaged in two scouting
skirmishes,during which ten Russians
were killed. In the first affair two
Russians were captured, aud iu the
other General Kuroki reports the cap
ture of an officer aud a man caught
making a reconnoisance in the rear of
Kuroki's army.
Three splendid horses captured at
the Yalu battle by Kuroki and pres
ented to the Emperor reached Tokio
today. They were taken to the Palace
where they were inspected. Two of
them are Russian bred and the other
is an Arabian.
People who have visited Matsuyama
reports that the Japanese are exercis
ing great care with the food and gen
eral treatment of the Russian prisoners
there. The rations included liberal al
lowances of meat,bread aud tea daily.
The prisoners' quarters are clean and
sanitary. The majority of the wound
ed are making good progress.
Are Foreigners Eligible ?
Attorney General Carson has been
asked by Dr. Charles T. George, Sec
retary of the State Pharmaceutical
Examining Board,for an opinion as to
whether foreigners oan take the ex
amination.
Several graduates of foreign colleges
have come to this country and establ
ished pharmacies in places where < ol
onies of foreigners have located. These
persons ask to be permitted to take
the examination of the board so that
they can reoeive certificates.
The board is uncertain whether for
eign born persons who have not been
naturalized can take the examinations
witli the aid of interpreters but it is
iuclined to refuse an examinaton to a
person who is not a citizen of the
country.
RAILROAD CO. S
RULES ON LIRE
Geueral Supt. A. T. Dice, of the P.
& R. Railway Co., has issued orders
bearing upon tires in and about the
stations and other property ot the com
|iauy. Certain rules are set forth
whieli the employes are supposed to
carry out to the letter. These relate
to the placing of stoves on metal or
stoue or iron bases, the keeping ot
matches in secure tin boxes,having no
sawdust or cotton waste near the lire,
fixing gas jets so that they cannot be
twisted against any wood work, keep
ing steam pipes a sufficient distance
from wood work, using sand to catch
oil droppings and various other pre
cautionary measures. The order con
cludes with the reminder that the
majority of fires aie due to careless
ne>s and uegleot. Supt. Dice also to
commends that in departments where
a large number of men are employed a
system of fire protection be inaugurat
ed aud each employe bo assigned a
certain duty to perform in this re
spect so that in case at any time a fire
should occur there will he 110 excite
ment, but a systematic fighting of the
flame-, (tuckets of water and sand are
to lie kept 111 and about the stations,
and are to be insjiected not less than
once a week to see that they are 111
proper condition. Employes will not
be allowed to smoke in warehouses or
buildings where any inflammable ma
terials are kept and trainmen are cau
tioned against entering cars with a
lighted lantern,where there are fumes
of gasoline, naphtha or any other in
flammable gas. Cars containing oils or
other inflammable materials will nev
er bo coupled next to the engine.
When cars are standing in yards or on
sidings they should always bo coupled
so. that they cau be pulled out with
out delay should a fire at any time oc
cur.
Rale of "Bob" Veal For Turkey.
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Warren,at a conference with his agents
a few days ago. began to lay out new
laws which will help them still furth
er to rid the State of impure food and
drink. It has been discovered that
there are many sales of two and tliree
day-old calves, which are injurious to
health. These calves are sold for veal,
aud in many cases this meat is substit
uted for "boned turkey" and other
delicacies. The law now carries with
it only a small fine for this nefarious
traffic, aud what is desired is the pro
hibition of sale of veal under six
weeks old, and to make an offense
punishable with imprisonment and
fine.
Another important law to beadvocat-
Jed is the prohibition, of the sale aud
i manufacture of what is known as re
' novated butter. The chemists report
j that tbis product is the old,rancid and
: putrid butter sweetened, while the
I putrificatiou still remains, although
1 the objectionable smell and taste is to
a great extent removed. The legisla
, ture is to be asked to stop all traffic
' in this unwholesome product.
A standard for milk is also to be
legal 1 y established, such not now be
ing on the statutes.
There is to be a stricter law against
the use ot preservatives for fresh
meats, it being claimed that fresli
meats cannot be such if they are pre
served. With the preservatives used,
much decayed meat is being sold as
, fresh, and tbis is a disease breeder.
The department wants a law giving
j magistrates and justices of the peace
' summary power to imprison anrl in
flict heavy fines on those trafficking in
impure food products.
Thus far the principal crusades of
the department have been against the
sale of oleomargarine colored in im
itation of butter, which is prohibited
by law, and against adulterated liqu
ots aud beers. All branches of grocer
ies were also thoroughly tested.
Grafting Ohestuut Sprouts.
The annual grafting season has just
closed at O. K. Sober's Irish Valley
chestnut farm. Thousands upon thou
sands of Paragon scions have been
grafted tbis spring on native chestnut
sprouts. The success of Mr. Sober's
efforts in raising the celebrated Parag
on chestnuts lias attracted the atten
tion of leading agriculturists through
out the country. The system of graft
ing was perfected by Mr. Sober him
self and has proven a pronounced suc
cess. The groves were visited this
spring by scores of men, whose atten
tion has bfon directed to Mr. Sober's
experiment in turning waste mountain
land to profit, and the work of graft
ing the scions was watched with much
interest. With the proper care from
accident aud protection against dam
age from wind storms fully niue-teuths
of the "tongue" grafts will grow. The
Paragon scions are cut in February
and laid away in sand until the open
weather comes and the grafting begins.
The grafts begin to bear in a small
way the second year. The third year
the burrs increase in number aud as
high as three pints ot chestnuts have
been gathered from a three-year-old
tree not more than six feet high.

BELIEVE JAPANESE
WILL REST AWHILE
ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.-2 p.
111.—The prevailing opinion at th
headquarters of tho general staff is
that the withdrawal of M.e Japanese
upon Pong Wang Cheng means that
the enemy has decided to dt vote him
self primarily to operations against
Port Art bur and that tho present ob
ject of General Kuroki, with the First
Army, supported by General Nadya,
with the Third Armv now landing
near Taku Shan, is to watch Geueral
Kuropatkiu and prevent a move south
ward which would take General Oku
and the Second army, on the Liao
Tung peninsula, in tho rear.
A direct attack upon General Kuro
patkin's main force appateiitly is not
considered to be impending. Nothing
more than out-post affairs are antici
pated. although some of these may he
quite sanguinary. The Russian s ;outs
are keeping in constant touch with the
enemy and thus far the minor shifting
of the enemy's detachments west of
the Tayaug river and northward of
Moi Ting Ling are considered to be in
tho nature of screens.
If tho two armies of the ltussiau
commander-in-chief are trying to work
a force around in the rear of Geueral
Kuroki or are planning a surprise, ot
course the fact is sedulously conceal
ed. Uneasiness is displayed at the near
approach of tho rainy season, which
will retard,if not completely stop field
operations, although this plays direct
ly into the Russian bauds. The Rus
sians continue to hold New Chwatig,
Kai Chou and Tashi Cliou until a
move in force is made towards Hai
Cheng with the object of cutting off
the retirement of the force at Kai
Chou. which is sufficient to stand off
an ordinary force of the enemy and
discourage the landing ot troops there
or at Hiung Yo Chen. The Japanese
are not iu force north of Wafamliau.
Apparently there is good warrant for
the belief that General Kuropatkiu
has a strong line extending south from
Liao Yang and west of Hai Cheng,
protecting an advance upon Kai Chou
and New Chwang.
The Bourse Gazette insists that no
body iu Europe knows whether Chin a
will remain neutral to the end of the
war or whether two powers, one Jap
an's ally and the other friendly, will
remain neutral daring the peace
negotiations.
The Kuss says China's entrance into
the conflict would be the signal for an
advance of the Russian forces in Cen
tral Asia.
Tho report circulated by the St.
Petersburg correspondent of the Cen
tral News tha ten stokers were killed
by an explosion yesterday 011 board the
Russian battleship Orel at Cionstadt
is absolutely denied.
The Novoo Yreuiya today prints the
Paris report of last week that Ger
many is endeavoring to form an alli
ance between Russia, Germany and
Austria.

Vaccinating Cattlo.
At a meeting of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board held on Saturday re
ports were recieved lelative to the in
vestigation which is being conducted
by the board for the protection of cat
tle from tuberculosis by vaccination.
State Veterinarian Dr. Leonard Pear
son, and Dr. S. H. Gilland have been
conducting experiments in the endeav
or to ascertain whether cattle can be
immuned from the disease by means
of vaccination. These experiments
have developed the fact that vaccinat
ed cattlo exposed for a year to daily
contact with animals affected with the
disease did not contract it while those
which had not been vaccinated readily
became affected.
Calves of infected cows are now be
ing vaccinated and left with their
diseased mothers. They are allowed to
use the parent milk for the purpose of
ascertaining whether vaccination will
prove effective under these conditions.
It is generally conceded that uuvac
cinated calves raised with cattle in
fected with tuberculosis contract the
disease.
