Though il is rather early TO COM
mence talking about cattle shipments.
cattle trails and such, we want to give
our prosperous and friendly neighborinp
city OF Harper the benefit Of some infor-
nation that must be of interest even
now. A gentleman who resides in that
county near the cattle trail used last
season 10y stockmen in getting to Har-
per, said to us that he had an idea that
there would be trouble in getting that
trail or a similar one opened this sea-
son, for the reason that land owners
along the route will have use for most
OF their land, and for the further reason
that they are not satisfied that Cattle
driven through that trail last season in
the night, were not the means of com
municating Texas fever to their herds
He said there was no doubt that one or
more herds were driven over that trail
after night, and the citizens along the
line have been discussing IL these cattle
may not have come from the infected
districts.
We do not know that there is any
foundation for the rumOr that fever was
spread through Harper county last year
by any cattle except the Boyd herd but
II the people are of the opinion that
herds driven over that trail during the
night spread disease, they will not do
nate any of their land for trail pur-
poses this season.
IL Is necessary, il Harper would re-
tain its position as n cattle shipping
point this year, its citizens must COM
mence early and see that trail is Sc
cured as soon as possible. The sooner
the better, for after farmers have plow-
ed their lands and laid out their fields,
1t will be still more difficult to induce
them TO surrender any territory for trail
purposes.

A Washington dispatch says that the
secretary of the interior sent to the SEN
ate on the 18th information concerning
the unauthorized fencing In of public
lands. 1t shows the general fact of ex-
istence upon large scale and to All I'M
known extent of unauthorized fencing
of public lands, the manner in which it
is done and the purpose and effect of
enclosure. The report of the special
agents also shows fraudulent entries of
public lands within enclosures, which
are extensively made by procurement
and in the interests of stockmen largely
for the purpose of controlling the sourc-
es of the water supply. The secretary
is satisfied, from information received
that the practice of illegally enclosing
public lands Is extensive throughout
the grazing regions, and many millions
of acres are thus enclosed and now be-
ing enclosed, 20 the exclusion OF the
stock of all others than the fence own
ers, and to the prevention of settle
ments and the obstruction of public
travel.

On Monday, April 9TH, two weeks
from next Monday, will be the time for
the regular city election, when there
Will have to be elected mayor, board
of aldermen and police judge. 1t is not
too early even now to commence hunt
ing for suitable men for these places.
Heretofore the matter was not talked
up early enough, and as consequence
the positions of the candidates on all
the important questions were not gem
orally known. OF the board of alder.
men elected last year three resigned.
and their successors were elected at spe-
cial elections. This year it might be
well enough to find out before hand if
the men nominated will serve if elected;
If they will insist on carrying out their
own particular notions and hobbys, or
if they will listen to the voice of public
sentiment.
But for the fact that the town has
had a coOl-headed, fair and impartial
man for mayor in the person of Judge
Shepler, it is altogether likely that the
city government would be in a most de-
PlOrable condition. He has been bal
ance wheel, and has kept the machinery
from running away with itself.
Commence thinking up good men for
the city offices, and by all means let us
have first class administration.

An Indian Territory special says Spell
ehee has returned from Washington.
and is warmly received by his adherents
in the Creek nation. 1t is reported that
at consultation of the united factions
of Speichee and Checote it was decided
to impeach Perryman through the coun-
Gil. Speichee and Checote having ma
lority in both branches of the legisla-
ture, this could be easily accomplished.
In this event Corvette Mica, who was
elected assistant chief at the September
election, will be made principal chief.
Although elected on the Perryman tick
ct, Mica refused to serve on the ground
that Penyman was not the legally elect
ed principal chief. The elevation of
Mica to the chieftaincy will be satisfac-
tory to Speichee and his followers.

THE CATTLE TROUBLES.

Since our last issue the reports from
the sections troubled with the foot and
mouth disease are more favorable, and
1T now appears that it will not be allow
ed to spread to any extent. From every
portion of the state petitions were di-
rected to Governor Click asking him Ia
convene the legislature in special ses-
sion, and yielding to these requests he
issued his proclamation to that effect.
and our law makers assembled at Tope-
ka on Tuesday last. 1t will not be pos.
slble TO know what they will do, out as
the governor, with the assistance of
Judge Thatcher and other prominent
citizens have been busy drawing I'D a
bill looking to the suppression of the
disease, it is likely effective legislation
will be enacted.
In the meantime, our representatives
in the national congress have not been
idle, for Senator Plumb introduced a
bill appropriating $4,000 to be used in
suppressing the disease in this state.
There was a question whether congress
could pass an appropriation of benefit
to but one state, so the bill was amend
ed so as to include any other state and
the appropriation increased to $4,000
and passed by the senate. The house
will no doubt be as liberal, and then the
state can make an appropriation, and
there will be a good foundation for eff
fective work.
All those acquainted with this dread
disease agree in saying that to keep it
from spreading the animals affected
must be closely quarantined and not al
lowed to come in contact with other
cattle. The very grass, fences, stables
and watering places are poisoned when
diseased animals are around them, and
If not destroyed by fire they should he
kept closed up for at least year.
1t appears that sores appear at the
fork of the hOofs, in the mouth and else
where, and that these emit an offensive
matter which drips onto the grass and
is carried around by animals and even
by persons, and thus the disease is
spread.
Some claim that when an animal dies
OF the disease it should be burned or
deeply buried as dogs and birds will car
~ the diseased flesh to other farms and
poison the premises.
Cows, heifers and yearlings suffer the
most, and 1t is among this class of cat
tie that most of the loss occurs. Steer
cattle and beeves rarely die, though
they may get very poor.
One experienced stockman says he
has taken an infected animal, almost
dead, put it on good grass, and in few
weeks it would be ready for the market.
Mich cows once affected are ruined.
Ranchmen in this part of the grazing
country have no reason yet to become
alarmed but there is no doubt they
will be uneasy for awhile and will be
prejudiced against buying eastern bulls
for their herds for long time.
And in this last matter we fear the
greatest harm will be done the grazing
country. 1t is known there are not
enough bulls on this range, and if
hesitate too long about sup
plying this want, the calf crop next year
will be small.

SPECIAL SESSION.

In pursuance to the proclamation of
the governor the Kansas legislature met
IN special session last Tuesday, 18th
INST. There was nearly a full attend
ance of members.
Ihe governors message was read, Civ
ing the reason for calling the session
about the same as set out in his procla-
nation. He also told of the examina-
ton ne and others had made of the dis
eased animals. He recommended that
the ONCE of state veterinary surgeon be
created at once that ample provision
should be provided for quarantininc
stock brought to this state from other
states or counties where infectious dis
eases exist and that moving about the
country, selling or turning loose of dis
eaSed or infected animals should be pro-
hlbited. He also thought the law
should provide for the destruction of
diseased animals and COMPENSATION
should be provided the owners. As
there Is but small amount of funds in
the treasury that could be used in the
emergency now existing, the governor
thinks bonds might be issued to obtain
funds.

a Nebraska cattleman says that his
conclusion from two years experience
with POlled-Angus cattle was that they
were the best cattle for all purposes
that could be raised. That they are
good for breeders, choice for beef, and
the cows were excellent for milk, that
the beef of these cattle would bring two
cents more pound i'm England during
the Christmas season than any other
beef that was put upon the market.
The fat, instead Of being in fabs as on
the outside Of the meat, was distributed
through the lean, thus making the meat
more tender and luscious than any
other. y lawyer in Chicago after eat
ing some of the meat taken from a
Polled-Angus beef, said that if he could
get such beef he would be willing TO pag
forty cents a pound.

AT the very outset the house of repre-
sentatives would not bind itself by res
olutiOn not to legislate on any other
subject than the one they were called TO
consider. This looks bad for a begin
ing.
Three bills will be introduced: One
providing for veterinarian; one for The
appointment of a cattle commission.
and one to appropriate such money as
may be necessary to be used by the COM
mission in stamping out and preventing
the spread of the disease.
Two of the bills have already been
prepared and introduced. The first pro-
vides for the appointment by the cover
nor of veterinary surgeon, with the
advice and consent of the senate. who
il to receive a salary of $500 a wear
and actual travelling expenses. The
other bill provides for the appointment
by the governor of d commission con-
sisting of the secretary of the board of
agriculture, the state veterinary surgeon
and one other commissioner who shall
have control generally of the health of
all domestic animals in the state. They
have power to quarantine herds, brand
infected cattle, prevent their removal
to other localities, kill them if necessa-
~, after they are first appraised, and
generally to prevent the. spread of the
disease. Under this bill the governor
is authorized to prevent the importa-
ton into this state of any cattle liable
to communicate disease.
1t is not likely that the legislature
will come to any agreement before to-
morrow, and perhaps not till next week.
Topeka is crowded with stockmen
from every portion of the country. Not
only is Kansas interested, but other
states also.

1t may have been noticed that when
any public calamity in this state occurs
or when work and energy is required
our Kansas politicians, without regard
to party lines, mix up and all pull to-
gether. Witness Governor Click, Judge
Thacher and Governor Robinson exert
ing themselves in the cattle disease
troubles. And it may also have been
noticed that our governor is not afraid
to shoulder responsibility, and acts
without fear of criticism when an emer-
gency for executive interference ap-
pears.
Compare Governor Clicks conduct
when called on to convene the legisla-
ture with what Governor Crittenden's
course in Missouri would have been UNI
der similar circumstances! wouldn't
give Click for field full of such men as
our sister state has as an executive.
