send big report to the cattle markets next season.
There has not been much doing in the line Of
transportation the past week or two. This is not
strange when 1t is remembered that distances to
our railroad points are 2OD miles, with no possibility
to obtain forage along the route excepting such as
the prairie affords Some of our larger trains,
more especially those with oxen motors. have
laid by until the badge Of the winter shall have
passed. and those the road have TO observe some
caution about fretting the cattle. 1t il expected
the full force will be brought into reonistion in
the coming month or March, and that the carrying
trade will have all it can do during the spring and
the summer to supply our town and the Panhandle
ranches.

The Irrigation Canal.

J. W. Gilbert, secretary Of the Eu-
reka lrrigating Canal Company, was in
the city Tuesday and informed us that
two Of the ditching machines for the
company had arrived and would be put
in operation as soon as the ground
would permit. g. G. Gilbert has gone
east to purchase horses for the com
pany, and will return shortly. Mr..
Gilbert, on behalf of the company, de-
sires to express his heartfelt thanks to
the owners of property along the line
of the proposed canal, for the read
mess with which they extended the
right of way, and without charging the
company for the use of the land. Sew
eral ditching machines will probably be
put in operation as soon as the frost is
out of the ground, and We may now
confidently soon look for the much
anticipated irrigating ditch.

Dry Murrain.

During the cold weather stockmen
should see that their cattle have an
abundance Of water to drink While
the streams are frozen up cattle are
liable to suffer for water The ice in
the streams should be broken daily dur
ing the existence Of freezing weather
and when large herds may possible as
semble at one place to obtain water,
enough of the stream should be cleared
of ice to enable hundred head to drink
at one time At places where only a
few can drink at once, in cases of a
rush the young cattle are crowded away
by the older and deprived Of water.
Cattle need more water at this season
of the year than at any other time.
The grass is dry and in many places
dead and large quantities Of grass are
necessarily absorbed that contains no
nutriment The consumption Of so
much dead grass hasa tendency to cause
dry murrian unless an abundance Of
salt and water are within easy access
to cattle. We hear of several fatal cases
of this disease among cattle of the Wal
nut Valley Pool The treatment CON
sists in an administration Of liberal
doses Of laxatives Dissolve an ounce
each Of common soda and aloes in half
a pint Of hot water. and add to this So
luton one ounce of turpentine; also
dissolve one pound of Epson salts in a
quart of hot water. Mix the two So
lutions together. and give the whole in
one dose to cattle over one year and
half old; and a third of the quantity
named every six hours, and at every
intervening hour give a half gallon of
flaxseed tea with half an ounce Of
ground ginger; or instead Of the fax
seed tea give pint Of linseed meal or
molasses every intervening hour Inject.
as often, blood warm soapsuds, or salt
water, per rectum. Give gentle walk
ing exercise. On recovery, give steam
ed, cooked, or ground feed wettcd.
among which, during the week, mix a
handful of ground willow bark
The pecuharities of this disease are
thus described by an eastern correspon
dent: Il have lately lost two cows
with murrian. / have also another COW
with the same disease now She looks
very gaunt, but has a good appetite;
constantly shakes her head and ears, and
throws her head around toward the top
of her back, first on one side and then
on the other; back bowed up; her dung
does not look particularly wrong; she
has been sick for about two weeks; was
fat and gave one and one-half gallons of
of milk per day, but dried up immedi-
ately after being taken. She looks as
if strong breeze would blow her over,
but walks lively. The last of the two
cows that died seemed to have sort of
hiccugh for fortyeight hours before she
died, which was about three weeks since.
| examined her after death, and the
many plies was very full and hard, and
when cut open was dark colorcd and al
most entirely decayed internally. The
other organs did not seem to be much
affected, although | am not very familiar
with their appearance. Several COWS
have died in the same manner in this
vicinity. 1t is the murrian. kansas

SUNDAY IN DODGE CITY.
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR GOOD.

At the Union church, Sunday morn
ing, Elder Collins chose the text from
the 2Sth verse Sth chapter of Romans
"And we know that all things work together
for good TO them that love Goi.'
He said these words were spoken
under extraordinary and peculiar cir
cumstances, when public sentimen:
was decidedly opposed to the preaching
of the gospel, when it was unpopular
and at time when the masses were
against it. Those who did preach did
SO at great sacrifice. God servants
were interfered with in every way
were forbidden to speak the name of
Jesus Christ They said. ought we
obey God or man, which they submit
ted to their enemies. They admitted
the authority of God was above man,
and it followed that they would rather
obey God. All things work for good
Gods ways are not cur ways The
minister spoke of mtn banding them
selves together to thwart Gods pur-
poses The history shows how they
failed. He cited the case of Joseph to
show that man 8 plans were avoided by
God-how the brothers were thwarted
in their wicked designs He spoke
of the deception practiced upon the
father of Joseph. When the brothers
went down to Egypt to buy corn and
discovered Joseph, the latter accused
them of being thieves. The missing cup
was found in Benjamin sack. The
brothers had agreed that the one who
should prove guilty would be put to
death but Joseph demanded that
Benjamin should stay with him. The
brothers demonstrated. In this diem
ma Jacob the father looked upon these
circumstances with dark and mysteri-
Gus feelings but God thought other
wise-it was all for the best to break
Jacob from the love of his home 1t
was necessary in order to take him to
Egypt and enjoy the plenty of Egypt.
Joseph was good thelogian and realiz-
ed that God 5 hand was in the plan that
brought the family together.
In the end God brought good out of
apparent bad. The minister said all
the goodness in man God has had to
scourage it in man-has taken props
away and caused them to lean on Him.
The great trouble with men is that they
will take things easy if they can. He
hol;ava1 x-oo1th ros , o,,rco +, con,o
men. God has wise purposes in all of
His acts, the minister said in speak
ing of the different conditions Of men
in financial comparison.
Moses was saved, though in great
peril, in the ark in the bull-rushes, CON
trary to the wishes of the king who
sought the infant destruction. The
history of Moses shows that God was
good to his people, and the attending
circumstances were necessary.
If we take individual characters. we
will see the sentiment of the text
that all things work together for good.
We could refer these thoughts to our
own individual character and we find
that there is little difference in men.
How true that many men who We're
once rich that now thank God for their
poverty! God has done so that He
might change their affections from
wealth to Himself There is a wisdom
in all the sickness, there is wisdom in
all the diseases, there is wisdom in ali
the deaths-we know that things work
for good to those who love God.

Let it not be forgotten that the three
great teachers of to-day are the pulpit,
the press and the stage, and of the three
the pulpit instructs the least in number,
and the press the greatest; and all are
agents for good or for evil in their re-
epective channels, as they are pure or
defled. The stage has the greatest
temptation to prostitute its power, and
it has been made greatly better and will
yet be made greatly better by the infu-
epce of the reputable press in restraint
of dramatic license. The honest public
journal takes the world as it finds it
and seeks to make it better, and in that
it fills the full measure of its grave
pubic duty Philadelphia TptEs
