No Further Trouble from Texas Fever.
UNION STOCK YARDS, Ills.-No
further developments regarding the
Texas fever. The diseased cattle have
been slaughtered and condemned. No
fresh arrivals. Those unaffected in the
lot have been sold t0local butchers sub

cattle in the yards have been afflicted in
the least.
The sick cattle, it is asserted, do not COM
municate the disease known as Texas
fever. That maiady comes from

brought here by improved cattle and not
by stock direct from Texas No further

Texas Fever-Excitement among C

CHICAGO, July 29.-The arrival of a
number of sick cattle having been re-
ported at the Union stock yards, this

Der of veterinarians this morning who
are not yet ready TO submit their official
report. The tact is, however, that they
have agreed that the disorder Is

The cattle have been securely quaran-

are unaffected are to be slaughtered sub
ject to inspection by health department.
Those that are unable to receiver are be-
ing shot, and those that are drOopy will
be held in quarantine for further devel-
opment.
A dispatch from Reodhouse, Illinois,
says that sixteen Car loads of cattle from
the Indian Territory arrived at the Chi

night. Nineteen head died on the road
from Kansas, and it was believed
the whole lot was infected with Texas
fever. All that could stand up-twelve
car ioads-were forwarded to Chicago.
The remainder, svehty-two in number,
were dead Monday morning. Andy
Jacobs, of Kansas Guy, in charge OF the
cattle, denied that they had Texas
fever. He said they were poisoned
by eating loco weeds on the trail, but L.
@. Tiffany, veterinary surgeon from
Jacksonville, pronounced the disease

"A Devoted Mother.

When Mai. Converse was LAYING out
the line of the Galveston, Harrisburg
and San Antonio railroad he spent sew
eral days IN obtaining the right of way
through the little town of kingsbury.
There was considerable opposition on
the part of some Of the citizens to
granting the right af way unless they
received extraordinary remuneration.
Among those who regarded the rail-
road as a nuisance was a hard faced
widow of about 80 years of age, who
owned a small farm. She said that if

Yours respectfully,
Literature in Arkansaw.

An Arkansas literary society recently
discussed the question:
'ResolUed, That circus is superior
to district school as a civilizing a.
gent"
The circus packed the convention
from the start. Only one orator got up
to speak for the district school. He was
the teacher, and the president fined him
twice and then made him sit down.
The fines were for calling Pompeyeye
Pompayee, and saying there were more
schools in Boston than in Little Rock,
and he was made to sit down for utter
ing atheistic sentiments when he denied
that Root hog or die was to be found
in the Bible. To crown his disgrace,
the president, in summing up, referred
to his remarks as indicating to what a
low state of knowledge and morals the
habit of attending district school would
bring man. He then decided the
question in favor of the circus, collec-
ting the fines from the unhappy peda-
gogue, and the society went out and
spent the money for bread.-Bwdette

Amusing Printers Errors.

We can sympathize also with the poet

others, of less Hydrologic fame, have
suffered as badly at the hands of the

his works, is made to say:

A well-known temperance lecturer was
indignant at finding the sentiment as

jolly whereas he had declared that it

The deplorable state of the press in
Field time may be realized from the

to preach was not in the book! The

That's where Tot lived. Everybody

So he would stand by the door and
look across the alley at Tot and smile
and Tot would patter across the little
ocean of dirt and water. and claspine
the chubby hand around Wah KEGS
legs, look up into his face and coo.
Tots folks chided the little one-for
they hated the sight of "the haythen,"
as they called Tots friend.
One day Tot stayed away and Wah
Kee looked in vain for the baby. An
other day passed and thea Wah KEGS
face grew sad and his heart heavy, and
he shambled across the narrow al

where Tot was.
They told him she was sick, that il
would be many days before Tot would
be about.
So Wah went back to his dingv shop
and rolled up his sleeves and went to
work again, but his head was heavy
and his heart was across the alley in

One day Wah kee looked over the
way to the little house and his heart
gave a great leap, for there, pressed
against the window, was the face OF
wee Tot-white and wan, but smiling.
And Wah Kee dropped his iron and
ran across the pavement and stood
by the window.
Tots voice was weak and Tot might
not have the window up, for it was cold
and damp, but Wah Kee stood outside
and talked in pantomime and Tot,
punching her fists against The murky
pane, laughed with glee.
So every day Tot was propped up in
the window and Wah Kec stood in the
shop and looked at the little face and
sighed.
Sometimes when Wah KEGS country
men came to see him they laughed, and
