Glove Contest.

CHICAGO, March 22.-The public was
invited to witness a four round glove
contest at a shady resort known as the
Buckingham" on Fourth avenue, to-
night, between two local boxers named
Tom Anderson and James II. Dalton. 1t
was announced that the affair would be
interesting from the fact that some feeling
existed between the two men. After a
few preliminary passages Dalton struck
Anderson several heavy face blows, when
the countenance of the latter was shown
to be covered with blood from several
apparently deep gashes. The police
parted the men and n of them Selling
Dalton discovered the fact that to both of
his gloves were fastened iron buckles
which served their purpose in mutilating
the face of Anderson. The contest was
not permitted to proceed, but no arrests
were made.

Cattle Scare Ended.

NEosHo FAIas, Kansas, March 22.-
The following veterinary surgeons have
been in consultation here and have made
a thorough examination of the alleged
foot and mouth disease among the cattle
in this locality: DIR. Beattie, Chicago
DIR. Salmon, veterinary for the department
OF Agriculture; DIR. NJ. Turnover,
Sterling, Illinois DIR. George G. Fayille,
Colorado State Agricultural college; DR..
L. E. Hazard, an old Scotch surgeon,
now of Lexington, KY; Or. Harris, Lex
ington, KY; and DIR. Stocker, Iowa.
These gentlemen are positive they have
discovered the source of the trouble and
all agree first 1t is not epezootic, aptha
lacking in many Of the important symp-
toms of that disease. 1t is not lack of
care, neither is it alkali water. 1t is no
contagious disease whatever as not a case
has appeared for weeks in the infected
herds although the weather has been
moist and wet. DR., Salmons says as soon
as he saw the cattle he thought ergotism
to be the trouble, and they proceeded to
examine the hay, this had not been done
before, They found it contained a large
amount of wild rye which was full of
ergot, The surgeons all say they never
saw o~ne-twentieth part as much ergot in
a bunch of feed The theory is that the
ergot by contracting the blood vessels and
otherwise retarding the circulation in the
extremities caused the feet to freeze.
This ends the great scare. While it has
been proved not to be a contagious yet the
people of this section did only what was
prudent to do in finding a disease among
the cattle which they did not understand.
They reported it TO the governor. He
applied to the general government for the
best skill they could furnish. The de-
partment of Missouri sent an expert whom
they fully recommended to the agricul-
tural department. Washington sent an
other. Their decision has been pub
lished far and wide. While many do not
give full faith to the verdict of these ex-
perts, it was thought to be the duty of
the community in justice to the people of
other sections to act in accordance with
their decision.

Ice in the Missouri.

Sioux Cry, Iowa, March 22.-This
mornings developments prove that the
apprehensions about the floods is certainly
wrong. The ice is rapidly going out and
all fears of an overflow from the gorges
have subsidized. Information from Yank-
ton says that a great ice gorge has broken
and the river fell eleven feet last night.
The ferry boat Senator" at Yankton,
which was carried away by the gorge, is
supposed to be lost. There are a number
of boats lying at this point, but all are in
a safe condition except the Nellie Peck
which has been pushed aground by the
ice. She is in no Immediate danger, All
railroads entering here are undisturbed
except the Milwaukee & st. Paul which
suffered from a washout about sixty miles
above here in the Dakota bottoms. The
officials of the road state it will be repaired
by Monday The river is open as far up
as Chamberlain, and the ice is going out

Hennengen and Cavel Gatenbusky, both
Hungarians. were working side by side in
a narrow chamber four feet high. They
were on their knees and about twenty
yards down the chamber Peter Suppalaki

the foul gas must have accumulated in
the c%revice above the heads of Hennenger
and Gatenbusky for suddenly the terrible
report was sounded through the mine
followed by the falling of the roof and
ceal. Two miners were hurled down a
narrow passage sixty feet, killing them
