raisers Of this county. The disease spreads

lower point. Mr.. Miller says there ought to
be a law against shipping Missouri hogs into
Kansas, except fine stock for breeding pur-
poses, and we are declined to coincide in
that opinion.

very quiet during the entire session, gave the
House touch Of his Scotch metal the other
night in an hours speech on the resolution
seeking re-submssiOn Of the prohibition
question. He not only went into the effect
of sumptuary laws on the morals of the peo-

industrial interests OF the State. His speech
is said to have been original, unique and at
times so eloquent as to draw a large number
