EASTERN Nebraska and western Iowa
are suffering great losses by death of
cattle Hundreds and thousands of head
have died within the last few days. The
veterinary surgeon employed by the
Union stock-yard company, Of this city
pronounce the disease authorax Or inham-
nation of the stomach and bowels. The
symptoms are eontractions of the muscles
and shaking Of the whole body as with
a chill. The cause is not known, but the
disease is becoming frishtfully prevalent,
and owners Of large herds in Western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska are becoming
very much alarmed. Great precaution
is to be exercised hereafter in keeping
stock from intermingling. Healthy stock
coming in contact with those diseased
seem to oontrac,, the disease at once.
Thus far medical aid has failed. The
mortality among mich COWS to-day is
alarming, and 1T is desirable that the
widest possible publicity should be gwen
to the prevailing epidemic, In order that
the owners of stock may provide against
it as much as possible, 1t may only
prove local III its scope. but 1t is now
known TO be rapidly spreading, and where
1t may end no one, Of course, pretends to
say. The veterinary surgeon Of the
stock yard says that great precauiion
should be used in keeping stock separated
as much as possible, and that carcasses
should be buried as rapidly as possible
A CORRESPONDENT at New Tacoma writes
that Mr.. French, the government inspector
Of the land grant railroads and their mauip-
ulations, is at present here, and it is reported
on good authority that he has said that the
embroebo between the n. P r. z. Co. and
the o. K. & n. Co., has done more towards
bringing this country and its resources cos
spieuously before the people in the east than
anything that has before occurred En-
quiries are now constantly made concerning
the country that is Of consequence enough to
cause such a contest. He also says that it is
the firm and fixed determination of govern.
ment to see that the Law governing the land
grant railI Dads is carried out to the letter
that nothing can now occur to prevent the
speedy construction OF the Cascade MountaiG4
line. The suit now pending will cut no fig. q,
ure, for whichever way it may be decided
the construction will still 80 On, and il d
possible that the road may be completed
before snit is decided.
