THE CATTLE DISEASE.
AbOut One Hundred and Forty Cows
Killed in Putnam County.

New York SUM-
While sitting around big stove in the
general lounging room of tavern in Car
mel on Saturday afternoon, DIR. Hopkins
Sheriff Doane, and several farmers dis
cussed the cattle plague that broke out
recently in the upper part OF Putnam
County. DR.. Hopkins is the Inspector
appointed by Gen. Patrick, State Com
missioner and Sheriff Doane has co-ope-
rated with him in trying to stamp out
the disease. 81 don't believe" DR.. Hop
kins said, "there is bad case Of pleuro-
pneumonia in the country now. since
the plague broke out we have killed
about one hundred and forty cows-Or
about five herds. The malady has been
confined to the upper part of the county,
and we intend to let it die out there. We
still keep watch over the farms, and not
a COW can be moved unless we give per-
nit. See that man at the desk? The
Sheriff is giving him permit to move a
cow We know just where it has been
and where it is going, and we know that
there is no danger in moving her. But
there are several farms where we still re-
quest the owners to keep their cattle as
near the barn as possible, and not allow
them to stray to the dividing fences, and
perhaps communicate the disease to the
cattle on the adjoining farm. Men watch
those farms day and night. Why? Be-
cause we do not know whether the cat
tie have the germs of the disease or not.
We divide the cattle into classes-those
that are diseased and those that have been
exposed. All diseased animals are killed,
the carcasses are buried, and the lime is
spread over them. Cattle that have been
exposed to the disease in other animals
in the herd, or in other herds, may get
it, and may escape. Its presence is not
known sometimes until four months after
it has been communicated. This cold
weather has all influence in stopping the
spread of the disease. The disease is not
in the air. 1t is communicated by con-
tact only. BY the way, pleuro-pneumonia
is misnomer. 1t is more properly lung
poison.
"Some of the highest medical men in
Europe have tried for years to save herds
that have had the disease communicated
to them. Some have tried incubation.
but it does no good. About all that we
can do is to try to prevent the spread Of
the disease. Take COW that has been ex-
posed to the disease. If she gets the germs
she may show signs of being affected, and
then under favorable circumstances the
fever will go down and she will seem tc
be well. But the poison is in the lungs
and it will show itself again, but perhaps
not for months"
"The only fear that have" a farmer
remarked, sis that some of the cattle
were exposed at the county fair here in
the middle of September"
"The farmers have been vfgilant." DR.
Hopkins replied, "and I do not believe
that a single case has been concealed
from us"
''But meat is still going into New
York, and it is said that some of it il
diseased" the reporter suggested.
"That is false. Not pound of diseased
meat goes into New York. All diseased
animals are killed and buried"

Get Out DOOrsl

The close confinement of all factory
work gives the operatives pallid faces, poor
appetite, languid, miserable feelings, poor
blood, inactive liver, kidneys and urinary
troubles, and all the physicians in the
world can not help them unless they get
out of doors or use Hop Bitters, the purest
and best remedy, especially for such cases,
having abundance of health, sunshine and
rosy cheeks in them. They cost but trife.

This is to certify that have used Dr. Tobias
Horse Venetian Linment and Derby Condition
Powders, on my race horses, and found them give
perfect satisfaction In fact. they have never
failed to cure any alment for which they were
used; the Liniment, when rubbed in by the hand,
never blisters or takes the hair off: it has more
penetrative qualities than any other have tried,
which suppose is the secret Of its wonderful sue
cess in curing sprains The ingredients from
which the Derby Powders are made have been
made known to me by Dr. Tobias; they are per-
fectly harmless. D. MCDANIEL.

We have just received letter from
an influential democratic member of con-

us that the democrats in congress propose to
sustain Senator Wallace in his efforts to
secure the enforcement of the Eight Hour
Law. In reply to the request forwarded
to him to use his influence to secure the
enforcement of this law, or to have it re-
pealed, he says:
My friend. Mr.. s. s. Cox. of New York,

Political Second Childhood.

The venerable granny of the Organ is
softening in his animosity toward the dem
ocrats, doubtless under advice from ma
tional greenback headquarters. The VEN
cradle INDUCES in the amiable attribute of
old age and gives a world of advice to the
majority in congress, indulging the hope
that the plenitude Of wisdom inherent in
the awkward squad''of thirteen may per-
meate the majority and incline their hearts
to adopt the views of the squad" and not
attach any political riders to the appropri-
alton bills. I'VE" recollect this and that
when we" professed to be democrat, land
acted with that party, and we" hope,
&c, all Of whioh shows that the venerable,
like all men advanced beyond the period
of active life, is beginning TO indulge in
retrospect and live over again the scenes
OF earlier days.
The venerable in his rage committed
political ha7i-kdri when he Joined the ma
| tionals and is now sensible of his moribund
state, DIT leasL IL Is ICdSOuaDlS 10 suppose
such is the case since he appears TO be SO
anxious to spread his political will and tes-
lament upon record prior to taking his de
parture to the realms Of the blessed. The
fire of his early youth has lost its fierce
ness, the noble rage of vigorous manhood
is spent, and the calmness aud Pickwickian
beati;ude of old age seems 10 have soft
ened the naughty spirit and martial vigor
of the whilom exultant and militant parti-
zan; ere long the mourners will gather
around his political remains, and, let Us
hope that none of their number will be
so irreverent as to violate the time-honored
maxim of speaking we'll of the dead. The
venerable is garrulous-but then he is aged
and entitled to respectful sympathy.

ments of kindness and charity. and which

his venerable years.

f. That .Unwarranted proceeding. "

A certain class of men imagine it is q
great thing to be always carping at the
deeds of others. Especially is this the
case in respect to their treatment OF the
action of men holding official positions.
Under the pretence of criticisiDg official
action they make their criticisms the
vehicle of personal Vituperation and envi-
ous spite, The charges OF malfeasance
and unlawful exercise of authority trump
ed up by the Organ against overseer Of
the poor, w. L. Sweeney, is notable
instance of just the kind of unmerited and
malignant criticism which intelligent peo-
pie despise and condemn. An attempt
has been made by the Organ not only to
impugn his acts, to charge him with
cruelty and kidnapping, but to manutac-
ture public sympathy against him as an
officer and to PREJUDICE his action before it
can be duly investigated.
The simple facts of the case in regard to
his proceedings with Mrs. Healey are
these. Upon becoming Overseer Of the
poor he found that for two years she had
been q town charge and the constant
recipient of aid from bis predecessor. Mr..
Sweeney himself also furnished her aid
he continued to do 80 until he became
fully satisfied that the limits imposed TO
giving aid by the Board Of Supervisors
would be wholly inadequate to keep her
from suffering and distress if she remain
ed where she was. As the officer
upon whom the duty of looking after just
such cases devolved. and in the exercise Of
a sound discretion as to what would be
best for her and for the public whose agent
be was, he deemed it proper and right tc
place her at the county poor house where
she could be properly cared for and al
least expense to the tax payers. His de-
Termination in this respect was undoubted.
| ly commendable and wise. If her friends
had been DESTROYS and willing to provide
for her, and had assumed the business 81
, doing so, neither the public nor the officer
would have interposed any objections OIL
interfered TO prevent their doing it. But
if she was to be a public charge aud main
tanned at public expense, then her friends
have no right to insist that it should no
be done in the manner provided by law.
Those who know the really kind anc
generous disposition of MIR. Sweeney. ant
the extremely conscientious manner il
which he has discharged the importan
and oftentimes difficult duties of his Office
. need no enlightenment from the Organ al
to his character, either in private or officia
life, and the attempted severe lecture o
the Organ administered to the late boarC
of Supervisors is as puerie as it was IN
called for We dismiss its accusations ant
its abuse of faithful and exemplary off
Ger to the domain Of public contempt
where they properly belong.
