SAFEGUARDS AGAINST FEVER
Interviews With Prominent SfocH"'e" wv
the Result Of Professor Fdra'es
Inpestigations.

InrestigatiOns.
Denver Tribune. -.
Since State Vetinarian Faville, in his
report on the Texas fever business,
published in the daily papers MONDAY
morning last, much discussion mas
been had in cattle circles as to the Iu-
ture safeguards against this 1eil oe-
stroyer of bovines. The eminent vetl-
marian had said there was no danger
of infection from cattle that were
driven over the trail, but the difficulty
would all proceed from the ANIMALS
brought up by rail. To obtain more
than one mans opinion on this vastly
important subject, the representative
of the Tribune interviewed on this SUD-
iect a number of the leading cattle
owners and others conversant with the
cattle industry. He found the pre-
ponderance of opinion placed the re-
sponsibility of the distemper with the
animals brought by rail.
Said Mr.. H. II. Metcalf: 1--WE never
had the Texas fever in Colorado when
our cattle came on foot. They have
repeatedly had it in the Indian country
and in Kansas, which are in the prop
err belt for the malady. l have not the
least doubt but that the poison, be
what it may, is exhausted before the
cattle reach this altitude. But when
they are picked up in Texas and
whirled in here in a few days, they
bring the germs of the disease with
them.
Mr.. S. H. STANDARD had not had time
to fully look up the evidence in this
matter, but he was inclined to think
the state veterinarian was the best au-
thority. 1t was certain that at all
places where the fever had made its
appearance cattle by rail had been I'M
loaded, and that, at least, was a cir
cumstance against the shipping.
Mr.. Sidney Brown, of the Tiff COM
pany, had not heard evidence enough
for him to pronounce against the rail.
He believed in quarantining as against
shipped cattle until such time as the
fact shall be established. Said he: $50
long as we grow cattle upon these
plains we must have the Texas brutes.
For myself, l would not give half price
for western raised cattle to turn upon
the range. You may talk about your
Herefords and your Black Polls, but
for liver in these bleak winters give
me genuine Texan
Mr.. Taylor, the newly appointed
agent of the department of agriculture
in the animal industry business. was
interviewed, and said he had been down
to La Junta and looked for evidence,
and could find none that would lead to
correct conclusion as to the source of
the fever infection. He believed,
though, that the shipping by rail was
the safest way to get cattle into the
country Those brought in that way
could be quarantined, while those drag
ged across the country trail would
spread distemper far and wide. But"
said the gentleman, 81 think the fever
is over for the present season."

POLITICAL NOTES.

In the recent elections in Utah for county
officers the Mormons were successful in near
ly every county.
In the Trenton (NJ.) republican convention,
after the nominations were made, ex-Gover-
nor Oglesby, of illinois, spoke for an hour,
treating on the tariff and labor questions.
The democratic convention of the Twelfth
Illinois congressional district nominated ]. NJ.
Riggs, the present member for reelection to
congress, and Samuel r. Crittenden, of Adams,
for member of the state board of equalization.
Calvin Page, democrat, was chosen mayor
over w. H. Size, republican, at Portsmouth
N. h., by vote of 1,OO3 to 434, the smallest re-
publican vote ever cast in that city. The DEM
ocrats for the first time in seven years elect a
majority of the city government.
The Illinois republican state central COM
mittee held an open session at Chicago on the
the 9Th and listened to reports as to the presi-
Dental feeling in various parts of the state
and the general outlook for the campaign, all
of which were of reassuring character.
Says the New York Star: at was stated yes
terday on the authority of prominent city Off
eials, that Maria Halpin, the woman men,
toned in the Buffalo scandal case, is now stop
ping privately with friend in New Rochelle
and that she has consented to make an affida-
Wit refuting the story of the Buffalo Telegraph
at every essential point"
Benjamin F. Butler thus speaks in letter
to Chas. A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun:
"As means of reaching more querists than l
can do in any other way, write you this note
for such use as you chose to make of it. do
intend to stand by the nominations of the
greenback and aboring men and anti-monop-
olists and hope everybody will vote for me

Killed While Playing Buffalo Bill.

4
A little son of W. W. Ellsworth, of Negunda,
Webster county, met with sad death last
week, but we have not been able to learn any
direct particulars. One report states that two
little brothers were playing about horse,
that the elder tied a rope about the younger
ones neck and then to the horses TAIL that
the horse ran away and the little fellow was
killed in shocking manner. Another report
is that the rope was about the boys body and
was so short that the horse kicked him about
until every bone in his body was broken. The
little fellow, at all events. met with a sad
death. The funeral occurred Sunday.

Quarantine against Teras Cattle.

Governor Crosby, of Montana, has issued a
proclamation for quarantine against Texas
cattle from northern ranges, coming into Mon
tana by rail.
The governor has been notified by Secretary
Sturgis, of the Wyoming Stock Association,
that the cattle from southern ranges of Texas
and infected with Texas fever are in Wyoming
on the way to Montana. The secretary says
native cattle along the trails followed by the
nOrthward moving herds have in number of
cases taken the disease

CALDWELL, KAN, August General Hatch
moved his headquarters from this city into
the field yesterday, the camp being twenty-five
miles south, on the Chickaskia river, where
six companies of the Ninth cavalry are con-

made public. but there is no doubt from this
time forward the blows will fall thick and fast
until the last intruder in the Indian Territory
has been expelled.

Rejoicing in POlyga1,,y.

August 5th was general election day in
Utah for county officers. The Mormons
swept everything before them as usual. Apos-
tie Brigham Young said in the tabernacle:
Though. 1 am DISTINGUISHED, yet have sons
and daughters who many times over will
make good my vote. Although 1900 are dis
franchised, yet the aggregate voting list has
not been depleted. We can never give up
polygamy. We cannot yet give up one prin-
ciple of our faith. Woe unto him that denies

ways chartered, but are recognized as
corporations.
Their powers are limited to making
and performing agreements that pro-
mote the welfare of the people.
They can erect public buildings, and
appoint public officers with salaries.
But they cannot buy land On specula-
ton, nor can they build theatres or
places of amusement.
In Massachusetts, cities can celebrate
Independence Day. bus towns are not
allowed to spend money on fireworks
for that day.
During the Civil war towns We're not
able to pay the men who enlisted in the
army, until law was made to permit
it.
Municipal corporations cannot make
contracts for the bel fit Of private per-
sons. For example, towns often vote
to exempt man from taxation, il he
will set up a factory III their place.
This vote does not bind the town. A
still harder case occurred at the time Of
the great Boston fire in 1872 A law
was made allowing the city to lend
money on mortgage to owners of land
in the burnt district The law was de-
clared unconstitutional, and the city
was ordered not to lend its money.
Corporations are strictly confined to
the objects of their charters in order to
prevent them from becoming too pow
erful for the safety III the public

The Law of Corporations.

A corporation is an artificial concern,
created by law. and empowered to do
certain specific things,
1t is like partnership, and both are
commonly called companies, but they
are really very different.
Each partner in firm is liable for
all the deots of the firm, while q stock
holder in most corporations of the pres
ent day, formed under the principle of
limited liability, can only lose what he
puts in.
= member of corporation cannot
make bargain for it, but one partner
can bind his firm
A corporation can only do such BUSH
ness, and make such contracts, as its
charter allows, while firm can do all
kinds of business.
While corporation may not do bus
mess outside Of the limits OF its charter,
some discretion is permitted
A glass manufacturing company may
buy glass of another company TO sell
again, at a profit. A ferry boat COM
panv, having an extra boat, may rent it
to another company.
y Ire INSURANCE COLlpbGyy uOAcN6Is ,
cannot go into life insurance, nor can q
railroad company so into the banking
business, or run stage line.
They can make such cantraets only
rs are really adapted to the object stat
ed in their charter.
When corporation has made con-
tract that it had no right to make, it
may refuse to fulfill its part to the agree
ment even when il has received the full
advantage Of it.
For example, il a mining company
should hire men to build railway, it
could refuse to pay for the road after
it was built. The rule oflaw was prob
ably in the mind of the old law writer
who said that "a corporation hath neith-
er body to be kicked nor a soul to be
lost
Cop,rations make their bargains
through such officers as they authorize.
This power is given either by the char
ter OF by a vote ri the stock holders.
The seal Of the company must be at
tached to its contract, since the seal is
considered bs tho Iaw as the signature
of the corporation

Chinese Feeding Their Dead

From the Portland Oregonian.
Early yesterday morning hacks and
express wagons loaded with Cinnamon,
roast pigs, ETC., commenced TO pour
across the Stark street ferry On their
way to Lone Fir cemetery to observe
the religious ceremony commonly called
feeding the dead. A reporter of this
paper, who visited the cemetery during
the afternoon, found large number OF
Cinnamon engaged in this pious duty
The roast pigs and chickens were placed
around on the ground among the
graves of the Chinese and at the head
of nearly every grave candles were burn
ing From the bestinformation to be OBJ
tanned in regard to this custom it seems
that the food is intended as sort OF
propitiatory offering to the Chinese
devil The offerings varied according
to the habits and tastes of the occupants
of the graves. At the grave of one,
his friend, after digging holes in the
hard ground with his knife, stuck up
two candles and then laid out several
sets of chop-sticks and as many small
cups, which he filed with wine; then
he placed some bowls of rice and a
package of cigarettes and small vessel
of opium. Then he made several bows
and genufections. as if inviting his
dead friend or the other party to set to.
A number of fires were burning in
the vicinity. and on these We're placed
pieces of paper with squares of imita
ton gold leaf pasted on them represent
ing gold coin, and smaller squares
punched full of holes represented the
brass cash, which coin has hole in the
center. Some burned small garments
made of paper and this furnished new
suit to their deceased friends at small
cost. After the pigs and chickens had
been displayed long enough to give the
devil time to satisfy himself they were
carefully replaced In the wagons and
brought back to town.
