The Ca tile Disease

There is every reason to believe the
apprehensions entertained by many that
we are on the eve OF visitation among
our grazing stock similar to the fatal rim
derpest that swept like simoom over the
rich pastures OF England have no foundation
in the facts and deductions so far recorded
The truth is, according to some author-
ties, this So called cattle plague is but an
enlarged and exaggerated reproduction of
disease that has prevailed for long pc
Rod of time in various parts Of Europe in
Southern Germany, the eastern provinces
of Austria, Pennsylvania and portions of
Russia For years it has been known in
Texas and is accounted for on the grounds
that cattle fed on corn through the winter
and turned out to pasture in the early
spring, when the grass is weak, uuripe
and unhealthy, find the change of diet so
! violent that their blood becomes affected
to the extent of filing up the kidneys and
and discharging itself through the urinary
vessels. These symptoms may be observ-
ed in the quarantine at Communipaw. 1t
is positively asserted by old farmers that
the disease is not contagious, except per-
haps, whore a fresh and healthy drove of
cattle Craze over a pasture where an infect
ed one has previously MANFRED the soil. =
Some assert that the meat Of such sick cat
tie may be eaten with impunity, and, save
that it is less juicy, is just as good as any
| other. The appearance, however, Of the
slaughtered animals afflicted with this So
called Spanish fever is anything but an
indictment to taste Of their quality. They
look better in the oil tub than on the ia
ble
In Europe the remedy adopted for this
disease IS fluid turpentine, which is said
to heal up the blood vessels and stop the
hemorrhage. 1t might be we'll Just to try
its effects upon some of those cattls in
Communlpaw before they all perish, and
it has been already found that several died
of hemorrhage. None have ever been
known to recover from the complaint by
the simple operation OF nature. A veteri-
marian must exercise his skill in time. or
it will be difficult to calculate the extent
of the mortality among the afflicted cattle.
No more cattle We're received at Commu-
paw yesterday and none are expected I'M
til Friday. Forty-one of the diseased re-
main in the quarantine yard, but none of
them maifest those decided symptoms of
infection that brought their one hundred
campanionst to summary end. Four Of
the drove were taken out for special treat
ment and observations day before yester-
day, because they showed the first symp-
toms of the disease. They were placed
under the care and control of the Board Of
Health for scientific examination. Three
Of these are unchanged, but the fourth,
which was farthest advanced in its sickness,
grows worse, eats nothing, droops much,
and discharges blood The four specimens
will undergo thorough medical examina-
ton. Three diseased steers came in on
the Erie cars yesterday morning and pre-
sented the most complete and striking SER
les of morbid symptoms that have yet ez-
hibited themselves.

The Negro Military Riot at washing
tGl.

WASHINGTON, august 14-The facts
about the negro military riot last night are
that the Butler Zouaves (negroes) while
marching to relieve guard over Stevens
remains fred volley down Twenty first
street in response to stone hurled at
them. 4 colored waiter in the door of a
dwelling was shot through the thigh.
The Express says that when they reach
ed the capitol a disagreement between
themselves ended in a regular free fight.
The Star, speaking of the firing and its
results, says: a large crowd gathered and
for time there was every prospect of a
serious disturbance, but the police on duty
as we'll as the reserve, appeared, and
promptly surrounding the zouaves, check
ed further demonstrations until order was
restored, and they allowed them to pro
coed.

servants of his household. were at his bed
side during his last his last moments. 1t
Is stated that he passed away calmly and
quietly, without struggle, as if asleep.
Mr.. Stevens has occupied recently a
large share of public attention, as the late
leader of the Radical party in Congress
He has been long in public life
Born in Caledonia county. Vermont,
April 4, 1898. Mr. Stevens was, at the
time of his death, over seventy-Gv years
of age. He graduated at Dartmouth
College in 1914, and immediately after
wards removed to PENNSYLVANIA, where

ans county, Pennsylvania, and in 1888
81 '35- '36-'37 and Al, was elected to the
State Legislature. In 1886 he was cleo
ted a member Of the Convention to revise

Reconstruction Committee, from which
emanated the laws which the Radical fac
ton in Congress has imposed upon the
South. He was also prominent MEM
Der OF the never-to- be- forgotten Impeach-
ment Committee Mr.. Stevens was
bold, out-spoken Radical of the sternest
type. He never attempted any concealment
of his extreme views, but acknowledged
that the measures he advocated were ''out-
side the Constitution, y. and belabored bis
political associates for not making the
same frank avowal. He was one of the
few honest Radicals who frankly avowed
their position, and fearlessly invited the
consequences. Thaddeus Stevens is dead
His restless spirit has gone to its final ac-
! count. Mn de nlOrtnis niSi b0nuua

Hon. D. w VOORHEES, IN TIE NATION
AL DEBT. Hon DANIEL w. Voorhees,
made bis first speech Of the campaign at a
Democratic meeting in Terre Haute, 1ndi-
ana, on Saturday, On the subject of the
payment of the national debt he said he
would have the bonds paid as they fell due
in the lawful money of the country. If he
again entered Congress he would support
no financial plan which gave the people
one kind of money and the bondholder an
other. He would not vote to give the
bondholder bread and the laborng man a
stone. Republicans had charged that the
New York Convention was controlled by
the bondholders, but, he said, in very
clear and unequivocal resolution, that con-
vention proclaimed one currency for all,
and equal taxation Of all property accord
ing to its real value, including Govern
ment bonds and other public securities =
Never before, in all the history Of this or
any other country, were the interests Of the
laboring man and taxpayers so distinctly
recognized and defended as by the New
York Convention
