Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay, who left the
Republican party in the Greeley cam
paign, has returned to his first love, and
will vote and speak tor Blaine and LO-

There are indications that the Demo

rated against Blaine with so much hope

DR.. Salmon Interviewed.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-"Have you
recorded any reports regarding out
break of cattle disease in the west ?'
asked an associated press reporter of DR..
Salmon, veterinarian of the department
of agriculture: Eyes, We have a few
kilograms from Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, notifying US OF an outbreak
We can, however, give them nothing
but advice. The law provides that the
commissioner of agriculture may ex-
pend an appropriation in cooperation
with state authorities only VIXEN neces-
sary to prevent disease from spreading
to other states. There is no danger in
this case of its spreading 10 other states.
The disease affects ODly native cat
tie, and is not communicable from
them. They take it from places where
southern ANIMALS have been pastured.
The southern animals do not sicken, but
they alone communicate the disease.
The disease Is Texas fever. l have not
doubt of 1t. It does not come from
Texas alone, but any portions SOUTH"
'IS not the outbreak In Chicago evil
dence that the disease Is carried from
state to state?'' l think not, as a con-
tagion. The cattle which are affected
in Chicago probably took IL from pens
where southern cattle had been fed
The effected cattle will die aud the dis.
ease will end then. It is surprising
continued DIR. Salmon, that people dc
not learn the nature of this thing Here
| we have this outbreak year after year
yet measurers to prevent it are not
| taken.

president of the Normal school, is men
toned as a candidate for county attor-

no intention to interfere with the af-
fairs of our neIghbors, we do
feel like saying for our old
neighbor that we believes if he Is elected
to the office he will perform its duties

If he is elected and does as we'll in that
capacity as he did In the management Of
the Normal, the people of Tapeka
would have no cause to regret theiI

1t is not necessary for the Republican
press of the country to follow up the
Buffalo scandal regarding Grover Cleve-
land, The public, through the agency,
largely, OF Democratic and Independent
papers, are in possession of the facts
and the story has not been denied by
even the friends OF the Democratic nom
inee. There are many Democratic jour
nails and some Republican sheets, falsely
so.called, which are disposed to divorce
the moral character of Mr.. Cleveland
from a consideration of his qualifications
for the first station in the land, but the
great conscience of the American
people is pretty safe thing to count on
The case is in the hands of the people
and the Republicans can afford to rest
easy concerning the verdict.

Hiawatha World: st. John stayed
1t and elected a Democratic governor.
Now he is running for president tor no
other purpose than to aid the Democrats
in doubtful states states like Indiana.
He may get 1000 votes In Indiana, or
enough to give the stste to the Demo-
Gratis. This shows that the man whom
the Republicans twice elected governor
is vain glorious shyster, without one
atom of Republication IN his little
head. Personal vanity, dyed nous
tache and political treacherY-these are
the leading features of the latest candi-
date for president.
