What to Do Quick?The Pasteur
Treatment.
People should avoid handling do?s
at all times, but more especially during
the warm summer, as a dog's
saliva may be full of germs of rabies
several days before It "goes mad"
with that disease. It is enough If he
licks your hand or your face, and
the skin Is broken previously so that
the germs find entrance to the circulation.
Itlght here, too mtich emphasis
cannot be placed on the absurdity of
the old superstitutiou that if the
dog that bites you should, at some
future time,have rabies, you?although
never ngain bitten?would
have to die of that disease!
In the case of your pet dog, if he
la morose and sullen there may be
a possibility that he is In the early
atuges of rabies. It has been demonstrated
as a fallacy that rabid
dogs dread the sight of water. It is
only human beings in that conditio^
who go into convulsions at the sight
of water. A rabid dog Is thirsty. He
would like to drink, but on attempting
to do so his throat contracts owing
to the paralysis of its muscles
that Is characteristic of the disease.
If your dog approaches eagerly
when you offer him water, puts his
tongue to it but cannot swallow, and
perhaps gags, has convulsions and
froths at the mouth, then you had
better have him ut or.co examined for
rabies?being, of course, extremely
careful to allow none of his salive to

the act of drinking, the

gerins of rabies is the nerve centres.
The original germs travel from the
point of infection through the circulation,
Infecting all the nerves of the
body and bosleging^as they multiply,
the spinal cord and the nerve centres
of the brain.
As the disease progresses there is
more and more paralysis of all the
nerves and muscles. That of the
. - throat is particularly noticeable because
of the difficulty of swallowing.
But quite early there are Jerky motions
of the legs in walking, nud of
the arms when they they are used.
Applicants for treatment at the
Pasteur Institute in New York who
show these signs on entering are immediately
subjected to other tests.
Sometlmos the Pasteur physicians
will blow a breath of air suddenly
in the patient's direction. Even
that slight, sudden draught of air
has been known to throw an applicant
for treatment into convulsions.
A certain patient who complained
of thirst, but could take no water,
suggested an experiment to 0110 of
the nurses. She divided a peeled orange
into small bits. One of these
she offered to him. lie opened hts
mouth to receive it, but the moment
the moist object touched his lips his
teeth closed with a snap. It was a
signal from the paralyzed throat.
In addition to the indications refered
to, the eyes of rabies patients are
enlarged and have a look of anxiety,
sometimes of terror. Wherever there
are nerves to actuate muscles the
disease shows itself.
Infection with rabies is most dangerous
where the nerves are nearest
the surface. Communication to the
spinal cord and brain is then quicker.
When the face is the point of infection,
mortality is 80 per cent.; hands
and arm, 60 per cent.; the lower extremilltles,
3 0 per cent. Infection
at the ends of the fingers Is also particularly
unfortunate, owing to the
centering of nerves there directly
beneath the skin.
Don't place any reliance on that
hoary "madstone" superstltution.
The most approved "madstone" *tre
figrous balls composed mostly of hair,
ejected from the stomach of a horse
or cow, or other hair-covered animal
that scratches itself with its tongue.
Naturally, this Herons mass will
stick to a moist wound?but It Is no
more efficacious in removing germs

" , The characteristic manifestations
of rabies are found in the large nerve
cells, principally of the brain. They
are crimson colored bodies in those
cells, which are never found except
where rabies is well developed.
This discovery was made known to
the medical world In 1903 by Negri,
<K me university or ravia, Italy and
name has been given to the little
crimson spots which the autopsy discovers
in the nerve cells of victims of
rabies, now known to medical science
as "Negri bodies."
Ixmg before this, in 1885, Pasteur
recoftniaed rabies as it germ disease
and advocated the preventive
serum treatment with which the name
is Identified. One year later the original
Pasteur Institute was opened in
ParlB. From that time until 1905.
inclusive, 29,201 persons had been
treated at this institute.
The success of the treatment was
remarkable, after the preparation of
the serum and its administration had
been reduced to a system. Mortality
from the disease was reduced from
94 per cent during the flrst year to
18 per cent In 1902.
During that period Pasteur institutes
for the treatment of rallies were
established in most of the large cities
of the United States. At the present
time the mortality in cases treated
at the New Yor? institute has been
reduced to 5 per cent?deducting
cases where the patient's nervous

Attack on Pastor Created a Panic in 1
Missouri, and Two More Were Slashed
by Wealthy Farmer.
Standing in the doorway of his
church at Salisbury. Mo., shuking
hands with the departing meinl>er8
of his congregation, the Rev. Father
Joseph F. Lubeley was twice Btahhed
by Joseph Schuette, a prosperous
j farmer nnd one of the most promin
ent members of his congregation.
One of the knife thrusts made a deep
wound in the priest's temple und the
other cut his neck less than a half
inch from the jugular vein. The ]
priest was hurried to a hospital where
it was stated he has a fighting chance
for recovery.
Created a Panic.
The stabbing of the priest caused
a panic among the men and womeu
who were filing out of the church, as
practically all of them knew Schuette
and the members of his family, who
were standing close by when the farmer
whipped out his loAg knife. His
wife and five children reached the
door in time to see a dozen men sitting
on the raving man, trying to
subdue him. It is evident that the
farmer became suddenly insane, as
he had no reason for his attack on
the r.i'est, and in addition had been
acting queerly for a few days previous.
,
The police of Salisbury also rre
convinced Schuette is insane. He
has been raving almost constantly
since he was locked up. Later he
was sent to a sanitarium until he
recovers his reason.
Attacked From llcltind.
The priest had finished his mass
and had walked to the door of the
church to shake hands witlj the
members of his parish as they left,
the building. There were about 400
worshipers present and they were
headed toward the door in small
groups. Father Lubley was shaking
hands with a woman when Schuette
came up from behind. In his hand
there was a sharp knife and just as
the priest dropped the hand of the
woman he felt a sharp cut on the
forehead. With an exclamation of
pain Father Lubley turned around
and as he did so the knife made a
deep wound in his neck. The priest,
reeled and fell to the floor, blood
streaming from his wounds. The
members of the congregation seemed
stunned for a moment and then women
screamed hysterically und rushed
hastily to the street.
Most of the men also seemed bewildered.
but about a dozen of the
worshipers grappled with Schuette.
He struck out wildly with his knife
and cut the hand of Mrs. Barbara
Binter, who was trying to pass
through the door. John Gates, one
of those who overpowered the farmer,
was slashed on the elbow.
Schuette was one of the wealthiest
farmers of Salisbury. Oue of his
daughters was a chum of Father Lubeley's
cousin, who lived with the
priest. The two young women visit,

COTTON EXCHANGE
IN NEW YORK IS A GAMBLING IN- 1
STITITION.
It Is Operated Under a "Debased and
Fraudulent Contracts Says the
Official Report.
The charge that the New York Cotton
Exchange Is a gambtit"; institution
and not a mercantile exchange
is practically sustained in the reuort
submitted to President Roosevelt by
Commissioner of Corporation Herbert
Knox Smith, just made public.
Mr. Smith's report is based on an
exhaustive investigation begun shortly
after the adoption by the House
of a resolution introduced by Representatives
Ilurleson and Livingston
on February 4. 1907. That resolution
was aimed to ascertain why
the contracts sold on the New York
and New Orleans exchanges brought
about such violent fluctuations in
the psice of cotton, and also to leern
whether the members of the exchanges,
by combining among themselves,
brought about depression in prices
because, under the terms of the contracts,
they could deliver any one of
thirty grades of coton. The charges,
which sem to be upheld, in part at
least, by Mr. Smith, include the following:
"That New York City has ceased to
be a commercial spot cotton market,
and that the New York Cotton Exchange,
operating under its present
debased and fraudulent contracts,
has developed into a purely speculative
or gambling exchange, and that
the grades of cotton shipped to New
York and tenderable on the contracts
under the rules of the New York Cotton
Exchange cannot be used for
commercial spinning purposes, and
that such grades of cotton are used
solely to depress the price of spinnble
grades in the South, to further
the speculative features of the New
York Cottpn Exchange, to the heavy
detriment of the entire legitimate cotton
trade of the United States."
The care with which Mr. Smith
mollllies his findings seems to have
been forcasted by Representative
Lbirleson, who, in a leter to Mr. Jordan
on April 30, this year, wrote :
"I do not believe thut the President
has any idea of making recommendations
along the line on which I think
legislation should be had. The report
from the Bureau of Corporations on
the resolution wrlten and introduced
by me has not yet been sent to the
House. I understand it is in the
hands of the President, and that he
is holding it. for som purpose. On
Saturday I had adopted a resolution
introduced by me, directing that said
report be sent to the Congress at
once.
"Recently the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor gave out an interview,
in which he stated that the
President was not oposed to the
legitimrte cotton exchanges, but was
opposed to bucket shops, etc. I, too,
am opposed to bucket shops, but the
injury to the cotton producer co nine
from bucket shop operations is nil
compared with the great hurt which
is done him l:y operation on the socailed
legitimate cotton exchanges."
Mr. Smith in his report indicates
that he vi'i have much more to ray
later on. What he gave oat for publication
today was two parts?dealing
with cotton exchange methods of clasflcat'.oo
of cotton and with the range
of contract gjades. Subsequent parts,
he says, will take up the effects of
exchange ri If * and other conditi.-ns
upon the price. In the report made
public he says:
"So far as spinners are concerned,
the i ractical certainty of receiving
sevei at diffeient kinds of cotton on
one contract makes it impossible for
for them to buy their coton on the
exchanges.
' I no contract must be broad
enotign to induce general 'raring
thereon, and thus furnish the broad
market necessary to fulfil the true
functions of an exchange. There is
ih> reus* liable obligation, however,
to take care of that part of the. crop
which is for most purposes unsplniiablc.
and the a.'mission ot very low
grades of such unmerchantable or
linspinnable cotton into the exchange
stmks c rf ales :<evc at evils. The effect
of such cotton is to depress the
price of future contracts, and this
tends to affect unfavorably the value
of the entire crop, the groat bulk of
which Is of much beter quality.
"The investigation has shown that
in: ny extreme charges regarding the
stock of cottoir at New York can not
l?e fully sustained.
"A prevailing impression that
many thousands of hales of coton in
the New ork market have 1>? -it carried
for many years, until the stock
is litle more than an accumulation of
n.bl ish, is disproved hy the fact
that the entire stock at New York has
on several occasions in recent yearF
been reduced to a vry smalt quantity.
Thus, in October, lf?00, the total
certificate stock was very only a trifle
over 5.0 hiiles, and as recently as
September, 1904, it was only 15,ti00
bales. At the latter date a com
sidcrnble pail of the stock was apparently
of fairly high grade. Con
seqiiontly It is certain Jhat the
i?nou"t rf ?-ery low grade cotton carried

Able poilod of years can not he

there is some cotton which has thus
been en; led over front year to year.
"Tbo president of the New York
Cotton Exchange in November, 1!)00.
stated to the revision committee that
some cotton hod been in the New
York stock for f-oir years, and that
the reason it had not been purchased
for consumption was that it was
of such poor quality as to be undesirable
at the grade difference then
existing.
"While extreme charges against
the grading of cotton at New York
undoubtedly exaggerated actual conditions,
nevertheless it is certain that
sorJous overciassiflontion has frequently
occurred in that market.

Constable Fant, Sheriff Green and
the other officers have been making
tests of all this booze, and it will be
surprising to many to know that the

In some cases, according to the
tests, the doctoring of 12 quarts resulted
in 72 quarts. These 72 quarts
were retailed at $1.25 a quart. In
other words, the retailer reecivcd
$00 for some doctored stuff which
had cost him $4.50. Despite the
fact that the stuff was hadly doctored,
the retailers found ready purchasers
at these exorhitant prices.
An analysis of some of the booze
held by Constable Fant discloses the
fact that soapsuds, tobacco juice,
pepper, etc.. were mixed with the

d-ltvery teen ceitifled at New York,
nut such cotton was for a ti.'.xe virtually
forced into the New York stock
in pursuance of a ruling of the Board
of Appeals of the New York Cotton
Exchange, one of the highest committees
of the exchange, and against
the judgement of members of the
Classification Committe.
"This certification of cotton actually
below tenderable grade is especially
Important because it was not due
to the carelessnss of the Classification,
Committee, or to the dishonesty
of linv individual pnmlnvp lmt
the exprer: ion of a deliberate policy
of one of the highest committees
of tho exchange, which should have
taken every precaution to protect the
intergrlty of tho contract.
"Members of the New York Cotton
Exchange have also attempted
to excuse this extraordinary ruling
of the board of appeals on the ground
that only a few hundred bales ofrejctahle
cotton were thus deliberately allowed
to go into the certificated stock.
They have further attempted to defend
he classification of the exchange
generally on the ground that the
amount of certificated cotton, which
was ically below tenderable grade,
or even the amount which, although
tenderable, is of exceptionally low
grade, is but a small percentage of
the total certificated stock. They
argue that the buyer' of a future
contract would therefore be indlffer nt
to the possibility of receiving
some of this action.
"Tbic argument is so absurd as
ha'dly to call for discussion. It
would be about as logical for a man
to say that he would be willing to
standup before a squad of soldiers to
be shot at simply because only a portion
of the guns were loaded. Such

effect that Clod told Moses to put bis
hand in bis bosom, and that when
Moses drew the hand out. it was

Wall Street >Innipulat ions.
The Wall Street speculators have
idvanced the price of stocks beyond
:he pre panic level, and it is hardly
accessary to say, that with reduced
incomes and smaller dividends,
should not be in demand at higher
prices on their intrinsic merits. As
tiarrimau and Rockefeller are said
to be engineering the advance, there
is no doubt they can force prices
.?ven higher, but that is all the more
reason for small tish to seek shallow
vater, or those big fish may swalow
them up like the pike doeu the
minnows. The Wall Street stock
market >s no longer run on business
principles, it is now entirely at the
nercv of the big speculators, who
force prices up and down to suit
hemselves, and generally make
loney whichever way it goes. How
an the ordinary business man com>ete
in such a nest of manipulation.
