CATTLE DIsEAsE-Wm. Gurwell of Tanning, in
forms MS that mysterious disease has broken out
among his cattle, of which six of his finest cows
died in six days At FIRST he thought the disease was
mad itch, a. the first symptoms had that appearance
but he soon found that it was something else, and
all the remedies he applied were powerless He
made an examination Of one of the dead cows, and
the only indication of disease he found was that the
gallbladder was enlarged to about four times its
usual size, and the food in the stomach was rather
dry. He thinks farmers would do well to watch
their cattle closely, and endeavor to ascertain the
cause and o remedy, should the disease spread.

ANOTHER CALANrrr.-As We are ready to go to
press, Is o'clock Wednesday EVENING" we learn that
Lelands pork house, below the depot in the south
east part of town. has fallen in, being total wreck
The cause of the breakdown was Il, 900 bushels of
wheat stored on the upper floor the posts in the eel
lar being too weak to hold up the weight The floor
went in, and the wheat, with dirt and rubbish is in
the cellar. The roof hangs the four wallis which
are in such an unsafe condition that persons afraid
to work below. rain is threatened, which, if it
comes, may damage the wheat badly.
Mr. Leland is absent, and we know nothing Of the
value Of the building and grain whether there is
any insurance not But the building cost eonsde-
rable money, and the wheat represents the present
price Of the grain. But with knowledge of Mr. L.
lands push and energy, we safe in saying that he
will 60 right along and have the building up in bet
ter condition than ever, ready for next Winters

hiLLED WHILE REsIsTING An OFFICER.-An unfor-
tunsfe affair occurrea early wednesday notsing, in
Burr-Oak Township, six miles north east of Troy
short time ago. Joseph Schneider living in the above
named vicinity, arrested on complnint of his
sons wife, for having threatened to kill her. Weun
derstand that one of his offences was attempting to
violate her. and threatening to shoot her. in order to
compel her to comply with his demands He was re-
leased on ball. to appear the first day of the Dis
trct Court. He failed to put in appearance Mon
day, and his bond was forfeited. Constable H. c.
Bailey, with posse, was sent out Tuesday evening
to arrest him; but they found him locked up in his
house, with an axe, pitchfork, and revolver, for
weapons of defense, and threatening to kill any one
who attempted to enter The posse returned to town.
when Judge Otis directed the Sheriff to 90 and bring
him in by Wednesday morning. if it took half the
County to secure him. Accordingly that morning.
Deputy Sheriff, n. C. Bailey went out with posse of
three or four. Arriving at the house, they found
Schneider still entrcnched, with his weapons around
him. Upon being summoned he refused to deliver
himself up. and threatened to kill any person who
attempted to take him. Bailey then underworld to
enter by window, but Schneider attacked him with
the ptchfork, and compelled him retreat. Bailey
told him that if he continued his assaults, he would
have to shoot him, as he ordered to arrest him,
and meant to do ii. Thereupon Schneider seizcd a
navy revolver making threats and demonstrations
Of shooting Bailey, when the latter quickly drew
his revolver and fired upon Schneider, the ball pass
Ing through his left lung He fell, the blood gushing
from his mouth and from the wound. Bailey ut
zane to town for assistance, leaving the others us
guard. Sheriff Burkhalter, DIR. Ashmead, and others
went out He lived long enough to make his will,
and died about o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is
that the ball lodged in his spine the low

ST. JOSEPH ScRIr.-Doniphan County is flooded
with St. Joseph City Scrip of the denominations of
one and two dollars In every transaction requiring
change Of less than five dollars, one is almost sure
to have this money thrust at him. As it is made
very much in imitation of greeubacks, many people
take it, supposing it to be such. Why how Doni-
phan County has been made to carry this stuff no
body seems to know. Government greenbacks and
silver ought to be sufficiently plentiful to supply all
needed change without having to take the scrip of
local corporation. Banks viii not receive it, and
many business men object to taking it. even after
giving it out. This scrip represents SO much floating
debt of st. Joseph and is given out in payment for
city Indebtedness. 1t is perhaps bought ut large
discount, and may be scattered out in Kansas, at
par by those who have bought it at u considerable
shave. Whether there is any danger of this stuff
eventually being left to the hands Of holders
we are unable to say; but the people will be better
of, if they have nothing but legitimate government
money.

SOLDIERS REUSIoS.-A number of soldiers have
made a suggestion to us, which we think is good
one. The Reunion is set for three days, during the
Fair and the general suPposton u.s. that is intend
ed to camp on the grounds. Whatever the arrange
ment in this respect may be, nearly every soldier in
the County is making his calculations to attend but
many of them, especially those living at distance
in the County for out of it, say that it will he inpos
siblc or nconvenient for them to give it more than
one day. 1t has therefore been suggested that one
particular day out of the three be designated upon
which the especial obssrvances of the Reunion take
place, such speeches, review, and general re-
newRl of acquaintance. This will enable every
one to make his arrangements to he here ON that
particular day, while those who wish to stay long
er, can do so, and miss nothing. We are decid-
eddy of the opinion that it will make the affair more
successful and satisfactory to set special day as
the big day for the soldiers.
