Shipping Cattle to Texas.
A squad Of of Texans have been
riding al out through this section for
several weeks past buying up stock
cattle to ship 10 Texas Some of
them were in the city yesterday, and
we learned that they have already
bought 1900 head, which they will
now begin to beard and ship to Fort
Worth, from which point they will
be taken to some of the great prarie
ranches of that State. We learn
that an average of $720 per head
has been paid for these cattle, and
that they can be shipped to Texas
for $50 per car load, while it costs
over 5000 to bring car load of po-

solemn protest against the proposed pro-
vision authorizing the sale OF leaf tobacco

Zcns privileges denied to other classes, and
as public declaration by the Government

A case of Suspended Animation.

LADY APPARENTLY DEAD AND INCAPABLE
OF MOVING, BUT CONSCIOUS OF EVERYTHING
GOING on ABOUT HER.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., january "a case
of suspended animation, which has excited
considerable interest, occurred last Sunday
morning. Mrs. Reagan, who lives on First
street near the Government printing-oflice,
started with her daughter to attend early
mass at st. Aloysius church, but on the
way she became faint, and was compelled 10
return home. Before reaching her home
she fell insensible TO the floor. and was APP
parently in dying condition. Father
Noonan, Of ST. Aloysius, was sent for, but
would not administer the last sacraments,
il being impossible in her insensible con-
dition. Father Noonan. 1t appears, con-
WINGED that the lady was moribund, and
that death was close at hand. returned
soon to the church to take part In the
morning service. At the close OF the
mass he spoke OF the dissolution OF
the lady, and the announcement caused
much sorrroW in the congregation, OF
which Mrs. Reagan was member. After
the mass many OF the members proceeded
to the house Of the supposed deceased
lady, and were gladly surprised to find her
sitting up in bed and conversing with her
family. When the physician, DR.. s. s.
Bond, who had been summoned, but
came after Father Noonan, arrived,
he found the lady motionless and pulse
less and her body cold. Re saw at
once that the case was one of suspended
animation, and proceeded with prompt and
vigorous measures, which soon restored
her to life. The trance lasted about two
hours, and during that time the lady,
though powerless to make the slightest
motion, was conscious of what was going
on about her.
