Scattering the Boomers.

CALDWELL, Kas., Aug. II The troops
have broken up the settlement of boom
ers at Pearl City or Staffordville in
the Arkansas valley and arrested three
old offenders, viz: j. D. Ross, j. S.
Clark and C. w. Holden, who will be
taken to Fl. Smith for trial. Valuable
records pertaining to the colony were
captured, among which was stubb
book of certificates at So each bearing
the seal of the colony and the plates and
field notes of the survey made by II. H.
Stafford, coloDeY surveyor, together
with numerous papers pertaining to the
concern. The recent demonstration at
Rock Falls Is having the effect to open
the eyes of the remaining boomers and
they are leaving in most cases without
interposition of the military. Stsfford's
horses aud wagon were confscsted and
have gone to meet Cooper's printing
press at Muskogee.

Ra,aEss OF the Cattle plague In Colo

DENVER, Col, Aug. 9.-The Texas
fever is playing sad havoc among the
herd near Denver which we're first found
to be affected with the disease yesterday.
Six of the ten cattle belonging to ]. L.
Oaks, which were driven to Denver from
his ranch yesterday and lodged in cor
raj in the outskirts of the city, died 70
day, and the others are expected to be
found dead in the morning. Several
others died at Oaks ranch. Messrs-
Roop s. johnson, who lost twenty-five
head yesterday. lost score
more to-day. The Cattle Growers AS
sociation of Colorado met to-day and
resolved to resist the shipment OF any
outside cattle into the state. Governor
Grant is lmportuned to issue snch guar
anime orders, and until such order Is Is
sued the railroads have expressed will
ingness to refuse TO receive for shipment
TO Colorado any other than beef cattle.
The cattle men who met to day say that
they do not fear the spread of the dis.
ease to any great extent. However, no
sooner had the meeting adjourned than
nine-tenths of the big cattle owners left
for their respective ranches in order to
give their personal attention to their
herds. Roop g. JOhnson's cattle were
brought from Kansas by rail and landed
at the pasture the Goth instant. On the
way they were unloaded and fed at Ellis
and it Is supposed they became affected
there or on the cars, which may have
been previously used for transporting
Texas cattle. Mr.. Oaks herd is from
Iowa, and was put in his pasture about q
week previous to the other al
| fected herd. The two pastures
are near together. but are
not joining. In the same pasture with
Messrs. Ro0p & Johnson's diseased cat
tie are fifty head which were there sew
eral days before the sixty diseased cattle
were turned IN, and those fifty head are
not affected. 1t is urged that this fact is
additional proof thatth veterinarians are
correct in saying that native cattle, how
ever badly they may have the fever, can
| not spread it. Messrs Roop i johnson,
however, are not believers IN this theo-
~. They believe that any diseased COW
can infect other cattle, and expect to see
| the balance of their herd show tie dis
ease. Adjoining the pasture occupied
| by the Roop s. johnson herd, and sepa-
rated only by a wire fence. is pasture
in which N1essrs. D. Van Buskirk q Co.
have a couple of hundred Texas COWS,
which are said to have been driven over
the trail and placed in the pasture at q
later date than the Roop herd. Mr.. Van
Buskirk says the only association they
have with the Roop herd is such as they
could get across the fence. Mr.. Van
Buskirk's cattle show no signs of dis

Bankers In Council.

SARATOGA, Aug. 13.-The American
Bankers association assembled In an
nual convention this morning. There Is
present quite a large representation of
prominent bankers The meeting was
called to order by the president, Lyman
j. Gage, of Chicago, who delivered an
inaugural address. Secretary Marsland
read the resolutions submitted by the
executive committee Of the American
Bankers association, declaring that the
coinage Of the standard silver dollars of
4.1216 grains is against the welfare OF
the country and recommended to con-
gress discontinu6uce of such coinage.
A committee of three was appointed to
invite Hon. VIM. Groesbeck to speak
upon the question.
Mr.. Groesbeck responded. He favored
a bl-metallic currency, and went on to
show that for centuries gold and silver
had been of equal value as currency.
The change took place in 1871, or 1872.
What had been done in the past could
be done in the future. It might be i'm
possible for one country to carry gold
and silver alone for its currency, and he
favored. under present conditions, the
suspension of silver coinage in the
United States until other nations took
action on the subject.
The following resolution Was adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the fact
that articles of the ASSOCIATION of nation
al banks of the country are rapidly ex-
piring without sufficient inducement to
renewal, owing to constantly diminish
ing amount and high price of govern
ment bonds, upon which the bank cir
culatIon was based, thus threatening the
serious curtailment of the currency OF
the cocntry, and since the bank note
circulation is absolutely secured and
issued under ample safeguards
for its redemption on
demand, in coin, as necessary for the
convenient TRANSACTION of the business of
the country, and such conditions can be
best provided through the continued
operation of the national bank act, as
has been tested by the responses OF the
last twenty one years, the attention of
the congress of the United States should
be urgently called to the necessity of
immediate legislation to meet the emer-
gencY.
Judge Poland, of Vermont, made re-
marks on the subject.

To the prohibItionists of KAnsas:-On
the 9Th lust, call was made by a COM
mittee for q state Prohibition conven
ton, to be held at Lawrence, Kas., on

purpose eft nominating . state and cleo

my name was signed as q member of the
national Prohibition committee, IS we'll
as the associate committee man from
this state. have TO say that such call
was made without consultation with me
and my name was signed
thereto without my knowledge
or consent. IL my judgment such call
is al edVlsed and calculated TO do the
cause of prohibition injury in Kansas /
am q prohibitionfst and wish the cause
success, but am not willing to sacrifice
the cause to the Democracy or 20 labor
for 9 movement in this stale which will
act Indirectly In its overthrow and secure
TO the rum power another lease OF au-
thOrity in our state, believing this pro-
hibition convention can only result IN
good To the advocates of Democracy and
its allies. The platform Of the Repub-
llcau party IN this state il broad enough
and the candidates are of that character,
and in my judgment, respectable enough
for any ProhIblt1onist 20 vote for, except
one who would rather zee Democracy
without prohibition than the success of
the Republican party with il. would
therefore AdYise all parties desiring the
success OF temperance, sobriety and good
government, 70 protest against this action
