GLANDERS IN ILLINOIS.

county aforesaid, to be immediately vacated, and a thorough 
cleansing and disinfection instituted and carried out under the 
supervision of a physician. 
2nd. That five of the horses owned and kept by the Cona¬ 
way family, be immediately appraised, destroyed and buried 
deeply in the ground, distant forty rods from the public highway. 
3d. That the whole of the stables in which the said five 
horses were kept, together with the harness, halters and stable 
utensils, be appraised and burned. 
4th. That all of the fencing, together with the fence-posts, 
for a distance of 400 feet along each side of the public highway, 
also the fencing around the barn-yard, and all the loose boards 
and railing, and the watering-trough, be appraised and burned. 
5th. That all the hitching-posts and railing on both sides of 
the streets of the village of Coleta, as well as the hitching-posts 
and railing adjacent to the churches of said village, be removed 
forthwith and destroyed. 
6th. That six horses remaining on the Conaway farm, besides 
eight horses owned by neighboring farmers, and three horses 
owned by three different parties in the village of Coleta, be kept 
secluded within enclosures, during sixty days, or longer, if found 
necessary, from date; that the owners be prohibited from selling 
or otherwise disposing of the same during such period; and that 
they be examined every tenth day by Dr. M. R. Trumbower, 
veterinary surgeon, of Sterling, Ill. This for the reason that 
these animals have been more or less exposed to contagion. 
All the above measures have been recommended because of 
the existence of glanders among the horses owned by the late 
Wellington Conaway, who, together with his son George Cona¬ 
way, died from glanders or true equinia.

In conclusion, I may further state that, while glanders and 
farcy may hereafter develop in some of the animals, now kept 
secluded under surveillance, in Genesee Township, and thus con¬ 
tinue to be a source of contamination to both man and beast,—this 
township is not the only one in which the said disease at present ex-
