CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. IA cattle
plague, thought to be species of the
Texas fever, has broken out among cattle
IN the surrounding country. Texas cattle
this year are covered with ticks of two
varieties, the bite Of which is poisonous to
the blood. Many cattle are dying daily.
Several cases of children having been poi
soned by drinking of the infected milk has
already came to the notice of the city
physicians. Beef is affected by the dis
ease, but can be easily detected by experts,
The disease is said to be very infectious. A
veterinary surgeon, who has treated about
| fifty cases, says the the symptoms with
milch cows are, first, falling off of about
half the yield Of milk, the bloody passage
of urine, and in few hours death. He
recommends as treatment to wash the
fectant for the ticks and an antidote for
the poison.

Bruce 70, Jackson CO. AS firing at 500
yards progressed it became reasonably
certain the American team would win. In
that range there was elegant shooting by
the Americans, several making continuous
bulls eyes, which caused their admirers
to feel all the more confident.
Partisan cheering was checked by the asso-
ciation's officers. Some of the members
of the British team did excellent work at
the 500 yard range Following is the
score: Rigby rs, Miner 70, Ferguson 70,
Halford II, Lieut. Fentou IL, Evans II,
