STOCK xArTERs, SUGGESTIONS AND
RAOTA.

We take the liberty to make the follow
eng extract from a private letter written by
Mr.. james Mauidin, of Beaverhead county
I think we sheuld have q law, Offering a
suitable reward for tire destruction Of coy
otes, wolves, ETC., and u repeal OF the sheep
law, passed Feb, 18th, 1876. AS that law
now reads, a man can come in upon oar
range with a band of sheep and run of all
our horses and cattle, and defy US from v
bringing sheep within six miles of him I'M
der penalty Of arrest, etc. etc. AS that law
now reads we are compelled to stock our
range with sheep previous to the arrival of
an intruder, or give him the range and pull
out, for it is ala.ost impossible to bring
sheep into the country and have them free
of scab.
I have read a number of articles in the
press on the cattle disease, some of them evs
identity from the pen OF gentlemen that
have no knowledge of what they are writ
ing about, and l feel fully as incompetent
to write up the disease as they !; bat for
your private information I will state that
this disease is still destroying and reducing
the bands in this vicinity, and not a day
passes but fresh carcasses can be seen. The
disease is confined principally to calves
from four to eighteen months old, but occa-
sionally an older one Is taken, and i'm a few
instances a fall grown steer Is found dead.
The disease always selects the best, even in
u pen OF skim-milk calves it selects the best.
Many predicted that cold weather would
check it, but it has not, others said a snow
fall would stop 1t, but it has failed to do so.
After an attack no remedy will save the an.
imal. This fact has been proven to our
complete satisfaction. The only way to
get blood out OF the animal after it is at
tackled with the disease, Is to dissect it and
find first where the blood is. The loss of
cattle along the Beavcrhead and Its tributa-
ries has been quite heavy. From informa-
ton obtained | should place it at 1000 head.
Some estimate the loss at a much greater
number. The only remedy or preventive l
know Of is thorough bleeding before All at
tack, or the driving of the cattle out of the
infected district.

THE Emerald Isle. with an area no larger
than the state of Maine, is an immense pro-
dncer of live stock, the bulk of which finds
its way to England. Last year the ship
ments of live stock to England amounted to
100000. head, as follows: Cattle, 65. 900
sheep, 65l 900 j; swine, 5s6, 900 ; goats. 1900;
horses. 5000 asses and mules. 500 other
stock, 524, 500.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-03-01

While GEN Mclkoh, who has charge ofthc
military Gordon around the plague district, re
ports the plague disappearing, ana that As
tnchan is soon to be relieved from quarantine,
letters from Austrian and other commissions
sent to Russia report that they receive harsh
treatment from the military authorities, but
that, according to the best information they can
obtain, the plague has spread TO the southern
provinces at Il rapid rate, and that even now
thousands are dying oft daily. All physicians
undertaking to care for the sick, die within y
hours The commission ordered to burn hous
es in the plague district are actively at work.
TO show the state of feeling in ST. Petersburg,
it is mentioned that iootman from the South
who showed slight attack of the plague was
at once isolated with 40 associates and all their
effects were burned.

An OFFICIAL MhRTYR-Somc years ago
Barrett Township, De Witt county, H., voted
bonds under the law of 1869 to the amount Of
some $4,000 in favor Of the Pckin, Lincoln
Il Decatur railroad ON condition that said road
should pass through the center or near the cen
ter Of the township. The railroad company
as commonly happens in such cases, paid no
attention To this part of the contract, but locat
ed the road barely inside the western line OF
the township The supervisor of the town
therefore, when the time came refused To issue
the bonds. The railroad commenced suit and
got mahddaVs upon the supervisor, Mr. Bar
nett. The latter, however, proved obduratc
and has gone TO Jail rather than obey the man
date OF the court and says he will remain ther,
as long as the people OF the town take care oi
his wife and children.

ELECTIONS.

/ As the vernai season approaches and buds
begin to swell and burst forth, elections in
Vulnerable press upon us and candidates as
thick ~ new vcrdure spring up and blossom
ont into full leaf and flower
/ First in order comes our city election
which occurs two weeks from next Monday
when there will be a mayor elected and one
alderman for each ward
Secondly, occurs the annual town meeting
and township election on the lst OF April
when there will be supervisors Il town clerk
assessor collector, &c, to elect,
Thirllv-on the same day takes place the
spccial election for Recorder, to ill The vacan
cv caused bv the death o: c. W. Bernhard,
Fourh-on the 1st Saturday IN April the
school election occurs, when there will be two
members of our city Board OF Education to
elect
Flrth-on the following Saturday, being the
second Saturday in April, there will b" one OF
the three township school trustee, to elect in
place of the member whose term expires.
And SiXthly, on the first Monday in June
there viii be three circuit judges to elect in
this district, one Of whom will also act rs a
judge OF the appellate court
As to candidates at these various elections,
the elections themselves being SO multitudn-
Gus, doubtless the names of candidates will be
legion For mayor, at our city election, Dir,
Lynch positively and peremptorily declines to
stand reelection, and us aSpirants for his
place are somewhat backward about coming
cut, we have as yet none to name. For alder
men, however, several have already expressed
willingness to be sacrificed for the good Of
the city, among whom we violate no conf
dcncc in naming: James Carew as a candi-
date in the Sd ward, John Murphy, present in
cumbcnt in the 4th ward, DR.. lIobcrt and o.
W. HUFF in the 9Th, ID. HolleCker and John
Hoban in the 9th, and Logan in the 18th.
These are all good enough men and the cleo
ton of any or all of them will suit u.s.
As to recorder, the republican convention
on the 18th will certainly not be troubled with
a lack of names from which to make a choice,
for We already hear at every street corner the
names Of c. III. Hook, John Stout, Capt. L. Is,
Smith, Sherman Leland, Will Nicely and
Frank Donevy, clerks in the Office Mr.. Pill
cher, of Streator, and-35 township, yet to
hear from.
The present members of the school board
will probably be reelected without opposition
nor will thew probably be much opposition to
the reelection of the present circuit judges.

We submit to the Joliet GreeHjdch Mars that
il Is somewhat behind the times-anachronis
tic, so to Speak-tO argue through whole col
umn that the only currency we ever had that
was stable III value was the grcenback, and
that gold and silver are terribly iluctuating
All that was settled by Carey, Kelly, Cooper
Brick Pomeroy and that eminent school OF
political economists and philosophers long
ago. In 1868, "a and 90 gold and silver tluc
tuated so that at times 1t was worth $50 to 21s
cents on the dollar Corn in those days, thai
readily brought Il dollar a bushel in good, sta
Die money like greenbacks, was worth but 81
cts. in gold or silver, such was the strange iiuc
tuation of the metal. 1t is true, there was nc
such fluctuatlon on the part of gold and silver
observed in England, or any part of Europe al
the time, but 1t got round to Turkey and Rus
STA after Il while, and even Austria has moi
wholly escaped the evil We shall never have
any reliable standard Of value until the gov
eminent wholly demonctizes the Preciou:
metals and gives us about four thousand
millions of fiat money Neverr-r,
