' CHILDREN MAD DOG BITTEN
Texas Farmer Has Five of Family in New Orleans
'
- r to Take Pastetir Treatment for Rabies.
' 'tjHooeton Post Special.)
"Winy Orleans July. 4-FIve children
each of whom waa bitten two or thre
tine by a mad do reached the city
Saturday morning- and are staying at
the boarding bouaa of Mlsa Ollie Caldwell
lata Canal atreet. The children were ao-
eempanled to the city by their father.
aaBuel Danysh and their uncle. Theo-
dore Danysh. They lire to Torktown.
D Wit oounty. Texas and they were
tour days In reaching the city. They
went at once to the Charity hospital.
Where all of the children were given In-
jection! for the prevention of rabies by
the Pasteur method and alnce then three
pno imniHiiw iiM-vv uven given.
. After the children left the hospital a
reporter went to ae them at the home of
Miss Caldwell. When the room was en-
tered the three youngest children were
lying on the bed. while the. two -jat
were sitting up talking with their father
nd ancle. One of the children the
youngest waa aoftly crying but as soon
a Mm Caldwell and the reporter en-
tared the room the child hushed crying
ad got out of bed and itood by Ha
father while Its uncle the only one who
could speak English told the story of
their coming to this city.
The Danysh family la from Prussia al-
though the brothers came to this oountry
twenty yeara ago. The father of the
hlldren la a cotton farmer three miles
rom Torktown. while his brother is em-
ployed In a tlnahop at that place. 8am-
vel Danysh has been a hard working man
and by economy aaved enough to buy a
marl farm near Yorktown. He has five
ehlldren all of whom are boys.
Two yeara ago Mr. Danysh owned a
Valuable dog but one day It disappeared
an 4 nothing was seen of It until several
days ago. While the children were at
work In the field the old dog put In an
appearance and the children recognised
him Immediately. They tried to coax the
dog to them but the animal would have
nothing to do with them and as he any
' peered In an angry humor the children
. threw clods at him and he ran away.
" When they went home however that
. afternoon they found the old dog had
already gone there ahead of them and
had made the acquaintance of a young
4og. The old dog bit the youn dog and
1 the children drove It away from homo.
Nothing waa thonght of this however.
i as It waa believed that the old dog had
aimply become vlcloua from running at
if large. But last Monday the young dog
"' began to act queerly and to bite at every-
thing that came In Its way. The c!m-
dren bad alwaya been used to playing
with It. and they were anxious to see
what the trouble "was with the animal.
When they tried to play with the dog
It began to bite them. Some of the chil-
dren were bitten that day. but nothing
waa thought of that as the wounds did
not amount to anything. The next day
the doc was In the same condition and
the ofner children were bitten. Mr.
Danysh took the children to a physician.
Living In the same town was a man
who had been treated for prevention of
rabies at the Pasteur department of the
Charity hospital and with such good re-
sults that he advised Mr. Danysh to
bring his children to this city so thy
eould enter the same treatment. . Mr.
Danysh was not well supplied with
means and It required considerable
amount of money to bring the children
hers and keep them for twenty-one days.
But aa it was a matter of life and death
to his five children he determined to
come no matter what the cost might be.
He mortgaged his farm for enough
money to bring them here and as this Is
nearly gone he aald that he would have
to aend for more soon.
As soon as they reached the city JIlss
Caldwell gave them bre.ikhat and then
showed them how to go to Ul; hospital.
Tho little children were feeling badly
and the poison from the rabid dog had
taken effect to auch an extent that they

THE COTTON CROP.
Summary of Reports from the
Correspondents.
(Form the Now Orleans Times-Democrat)
Reports received from special corre
spondents of the Times-Democrat Indicate
that throughout entire cotton belt there
has been material Improvement in tne
condition of the growing crop sine tha
flrgt of June. Aa a rule weather condi-
tions nave been favorable and the crop
has made up much of the lose sustained
by reason of a cold and backward spring.
Cultivation has been thorough and with
few exceptions the fields are free from
grass and tha plant In condition to make
rapid and satfafactory growth with le-
voraDlo aeasons aunng im moun. .
There Is some complaint of the crop pa-
lp damiged to a limited extent by
drouth In certain sections of Georgia
. . . T . W.. . mm m mlA
good ralna fell throughout the belt during
tne last rew aays 01 June wbk
of great benefit to the crop.
The Increased acreage noted m the
Times-Democrat's report of Msy S has
been somewhat .educed; probably about
per cent. In the Inolan Territory and
Oklahoma where the largest Increase In
acreage was noted In the May report ex-
cessive rainfall early In. June and scarci-
ty of labor since have made it Impossible
for farmers to properly care for all the
cotton planted. It Is estimated that tha
crop of Arkansas was reduced W per oent
ny the floods In the valley of the Arkan-
sas river during June. The acreage In
Northeast Texaa waa also somewhat re-
duced by flooda In the Red river valley.
With these two exceptions how ever .the
? resent crop has bean notably free from
oss by flooda.
There Is little complaint of plant dis-
ease or damage by insects otitalde of
Texas In which State the Mexican boll
weevil gives much cause for apprehen-
sion. While It Is yet too early to secure
anything like an accurate estimate of the
result of the ravages of this pest present
Indications are rhat it ! steadily Increas-
ing the scope of Its activity and that It
will do great damage during the next
two months in spite of persistent efforts
to exterml'e to It.
' In man; sections of the cotton belt
there la complaint of a scarcity of labor
with every indication that thia will be
more seriously felt when the time comes
to pick the crop.
The movement to market will probably
be somewhat earlier than last year
though aa a rule It is not expected to ba
quite so early aa normal.
Much depends upon the weather of tha
next thirty days.
. These reports are brought down to the
afternoon of July 1
