the necessity of quarsntining agains
pleHro pneumOnia-which is depicting tn
herds in some portions of Europe. III
would like to ask the chairman, who, b
understood, had recently imported stOcl
from Europe, il quarantine was now en-
forced
Mr.. Leonard replied that strict quar-
antine was enforced, but notwith -tandin,
this fact the terrible disease, which i'm
variably resulted fatally, had made its APP
pearance in some Of the eastern sta,es
Congress should be induced to pass a Law
protecting our breeders.
DIR. Henry Evans offered the following
resolution upon the subject, which passed
unanimously:
Resolved, That we, the members of the
Missouri Short Horn Breeders association
in view of the great danger of an out
break OF pleurO-pneumonia or other dis
eases among the herds of the west
earnestly request our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress to take such action
as will tend 10 stamp out al once any con
tagiOus disease that may break out il
this country.
Mr.. Leo Roberts thought that in a.
much as there vas some money in the
treasury OF the association for which Their.
was no particular use, he would move That
$25 be appropriated to pay for one share
Of stock in the American Herd Book.
DIR. CuBdiff was of the opinion that il
would be better to appropriate the sum
towards reimbursing Mr.. Z. Z. Leonard,
who had made frequent visits TO different
parts of the country i'm The interest of the
short ho,n breeders at his own expense
and who would soon be called upon to
make another journey TO chicago in their
behalf.
Judge Gentry endorsed the suggestion of
Dr. Cundiff.
Mr.. Leonard PROMPTLY refused TO accept
such an appropriation saying that The book
would soon be on lis feet and the direct
ors would then be reimbursed for any
outlay they had made.
DIR. Cundiff then advocated that the as
ISOLATION elect one or two delegates
10 the National Short Horn convention and
that the money on hand should be appro-
pr,ated towards paying the expenses Of
such delegate or delegates.
Mr.. II. b. Scott was opposed to DIR.
Cundiff's proposition. The Ma ional con-
vention was free for-all concern, where
every Inan interested in the business was a
delegate of his own, and where the Informal
tion gained fally repaid him for the ex-
pense incurred in attending.
Capt Sneed agreed with Mr.. Scott.
Mr.. VIM. Leonard, of Sedaiia, said
what was everybody's bust
ness was nobo1y's business, and the as
socistion ought 10 send at least one delegate
to the National convention.
Capt. Sneed moved that the question be
laid over informally, and that a committee

The following gentlemen were appointed
