ry surgeon of Illinois, reports to the
department of agriculture at WASH
ington, as the result of his investi-
cations into the alleged cases of foot

cal and telluric causes; that it is not
contagious, but sporadic, having
appeared in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas.
Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania,

ayear. soyou can imagine what
proportion Of the work even now
pending will be dispatched Ly the
time for adjournment. The Appro-
prlatlon bills are now coming in
and the Morrison tariff bill has at
last reached the House in shape
ready for attention. ADemocratic
caucus will be held in a few DAYS
to plan a course on the tariff cues.

the articles used by man for food, and
find them to contain the chemical

in short, all cereals and vegetables
are unfit for use.
I find that to grow these articles
profitably the greedy, INSCRIPTIONS
farmer mixes with the soil guano,
stable manure, dead fish and the con-
tents of vaults, and to think of using
for food anything produced from
these things, is to utterly disgusting

Horse Tnieve Prisoners Missing
Associated Press DISPATCH.

HELENA, Sept. 2.-Maj. J.. w.
Hathaway, just from Ft. Maginnis,
reports that last week, the Missouri
river steamer, en- route to Benton,
met five men on q raft, ana believing
them to be escaping horse thieves
took them in charge at Rocky
Point, forty miles north Of Fl. Ma
ginnis. The water became too low
for the boat to proceed further the
prisoners were turned over to men
on shore with instructions 10 deliver
them to the sheriff. It has since been
ascertained the men on shore were
COW boys, and as nothing more has
been heard OF the prisoners, the con-
clusion is they were hung. That
section is a cattle range and is unin-
habited, except by cowboys, who are
reticent concerning the Emortality
among horse thieves, SO it is difficult
to ascertain facts as to the prisoners
fate. Jerry Owens; q notorious
horse thief, is known to be one OF
the missing men. The names of the
others are unknown.
