An A,.rm,nS Hog Disease

QUINCY, ILL.,, October 26.-rhe Who
to-day has special from Canton, Mo,
which states that \ hog disease has
broken out in that vicinity to \ very
serious extent. Pork packers and
dealers who have returned from
the country report that in some por-
tons half the hogs must have already
died. Joseph Bland, residing three
milcs ont OF Canton, has lost seventy

crop. Its attacks. thus tar have been
among the younger hogs, and not so
much among those now being fatted,
though much loss has occurred. The
work Of destruction is quick. One
man mentions as an example that he
had fed fine tat hog in the morning.
when it appeared we'll, and at IL
O'Clock il was dead. Dealers report
that the opinion appears to be general
among the farmers that the disease is
rapidly spreading, and will probably
continue to apread. The attack is MOI,
like that of the hog cholera. Its first
symptom appears to be a hacking
cough, which soon becomes cOntinu-
ous and distressing, aud the hog At
last dies from something like strangu-
lation. Farmers profess to have made
rude post-mortem examinations, and
some locate the difficulty entirely in
the lungs. while others think they find
Il in the glands of the throat. In one
instance hog was found to have its
intestines full OF worms, while the
flesh was found full Of trichina

We observe in the press Of this
State considerable discussion rs TO
the spcakership of the next House.
\ Dcs Moincs special to the Chicago
Tribune, says that Hon. j. N. Graves.
Of Dubuque. Hon. John Y. Stone OF
Mills county. and Hon. j. ii. Gear. of
Burlington. arc the most prominently
mentioned. We have also seen the
name of Judge Sewers. of Oskaloosa.
in this connection. and Hon. Rush
Clark. OF Iowa City. Gear and Clark
have served rs speakers, and hence
have experience. All Of these are
competent TO preside in the House.
and any of them would honor the
State and the high Office. From
among gentlemen so we'll qualified in
every respect, we see at once that il
will be difficult for many members to
make choice. One thing is clear
whichever one of them is elected can
but be satisfactory to the body over
which he will preside, and this is an
assurance that must be gratifying to
the people of the entire State.-Du

SHOCKING MURDER,
A Man In Cedar County Murdered for
500.
Davenport Democrat. Oct, % ]

WOO.
Davenport Democrat, Oct, %
A number of well-known farmers
of Cedar county named Downing
brought to this city this afternoon
tidings of a terrible murder that oc-
Cured in that county Thursdsy night,
about four miles this side of Upton.
1t appears that there lived there q
farmer, quiet, peaceable, industrious
man named --- Little. He had q
small family consisting of wife, and,
We believe one child, and lived quietly
and happily. On Wednesday he sold
his farm, realizing from the sale SEQ
in cash. This amount of money he
took home, and secreted at the house.
On Thursday night no and his wife
had returned ami were asleep when
the house was entered by. II 10 thought,
two men, who proceeded to rob the
house. 1t IL thought that there was
little or no resistance on the part of
Mr.. Little, IN his body was found up
on the floor of the house with his
throat cut in two places aud fearful
gsshes In the side ofthe head and face.

The terrible deed was committed at
about midnight, just before the rising

the money, and made good their es.
cape, and up to this forenoon no traces
of them had been received. Tho gen.
tleman who brought the news to this
city, came for the purpose of notifying
the Sheriff aud our police.
1t is thought the mur,ierers learned
of tho sale of the farm In Upton,
where the transfer was made, and
that they there learned that Little took

THE Pork Packers are to have a
Convention at Keokuk on the 9TH of
November. In this connection the
following, written by a leading pack
er of Louisville to prominent pack
or of Dubuque, will be of interest:
1.-THE cure of hams has not been
profitable for the last two years. and
unless some change takes place in the
relative value OF cuts, we do not see
how curers can continue the business
unless the consumption increases or
new outlets are found for export.
With the spirit of the times tending
towards economy in living, there
must result a diminished consumption
Of all those things looked upon as lux
uries, and to q great extent a sugar
cured ham, with good margin OF
profit, is a luxury to a large portion
Of the population that has heretofore
consumed them. Their value is not
relatively like that of other parts of
the hog, but depends much upon the
prosperity of a certain element of the
population, which for two years past
has not been IN prosperous condition.
We have, therefore, taken the ground
that hams must be bought at relative
ly lower prices than heretofore, else
we had better let them alone. As far
as our information goes, this seems to
be the feeling of many curers, and we
think this feeling will result in con-
ccssion of the views Of the packers

fercd owncrships of their opinions

The German vote of this State,
we can tell the Tribune, went
just where the Germans saw fit to put
it. 1t will probably go the same way
next year, and the year after that
again. And the Democratic party
will never win it by assuming the
ownership of it; by proclaiming that
it can and will swerve in this way or
bend it the other, as suits its humor.
And when that party considers that
it is beaten by vote it had counted
on so confidently as its own, il has no
reason for feeling disappointed. No
party owns the votes of any class of
our citizens, and every party, save
Democracy, has learned that truth
years ago, and the Tribune should
check its grief, for it is weeping over
something that it has never had to
lose, and instead of scolding Eibnck
for something he did not have, it
should censure itself for not knowing
that every mans vote is his own prop
crty, and is cast very much as its own
er sees fit.-Ha,ckeye.
