y Texas paper. the Albany Echo, fur
nishes another cure for Texas cattle fe-
yer, as follows
Mr.. G.. +. Waters, who lives on Deep
creek, in this county, has discovered a
remedy for Spanish fever, or the disease
which attacks fine cattle when they are
brought here from the north. Mr.. Wat
ers had twenty-seven very fine Here
ford and Durham cattle shipped to this
county last fall. They did very Wei
until the latter part of November and
December, when they began to show
signs of the disease which invariably
attacks cattle brought here from the
north. This has been the great draw
back to the introduction of fine cattle
into Texas. Many stockmen would
have brought cattle to Texas from the
north and east but for the great loss at
tendant on their climatization. We
know of several instances where parties
have at great expense, brought from
twenty-five to one hundred thorough
bred cattle to this country, and lost fif-
they were an entire loss. Mr.. Waters
determined, however, to run the risk,
believing that remedy could be found.
After his cattle began to show signs CT
the disease he tried various remedies,
among others belladOnna, which he had
seen highly recommended in the news
papers, without success, and three had
died before he discovered remedy.
Having examined those that died very
thoroughly, he came to the conclusion
that very powerful purgative was re-
quired, and also something that would
act on the kidneys. He consulted ply
stefan and hit upon recipe which he
regards as infallible, and which he has
used successfully, not having lost a sim
gle one since he began the treatment.
Following is dose, to be repeated in
eight to twelve hours if the fever does
not abate: Half pint of castor oil, fif-
teen to eighteen drops of croton oil, and
three ounces of sweet spirits of nitre.

All danger from the flood in the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers has abated, and
unless the June rise is very high, the
people in the low country will manage
to pull through this season. An over
flow leaves rich deposit on the soil,
and when this is plowed under and
planted on, it produces a heavy crop
and does more good than the flood did
harm.
1t is interesting to read the newspa-
pers from flooded district. Before us
is a copy of the New Madrid, Mo, Rec
ord, published in town that regards
that it has been sighted if not treated
to an overflow every year. The water
covers the town from two to four feet
deep, and all travelling is done in skiffs
and boats. Ladies go around shopping
or calling in their modern gondolas, and
though not as enchanting, perhaps. as
the scenes we read about as occurring
IN Venice, it was no doubt pic mic for
old and young, outside of the inconven-
fence and trouble. The Record tells
about steamboats, discharging freight
intended for the town in flat-boats and
these were 'polled" through the streets
and their cargoes unloaded into the
stores and ware houses.
There is talk now of putting the town
on wheels and rolling it back a half
mile.

1t Is difficult 10 ascertain lust now
what the railroads intend doing about
continuing work on the lines they have
commenced TO extend. When the COM
missioners rendered their decision re-
ducing the rates on the Santa Re, it was
currently reported that no more work
would be done on the extensions but
now the board Of commissioners have
about backed down from their position.
having again postponed the rehearing
Of the cases, and this is construed as
practically giving up the fight.
We learn that a new force OF men
have been put on the extension being
made TO Kingman, and that now the
people of that place are certain the cars
will be running there within a few
months.
II that proves TO be the case IL is more
than likely that the Southern Kansas
road will also conclude to carry out its
original intentions and extend its road
from Harper west. Certain it is that if
II does not, that territory it has hereto
fore considered as its own by right of
discovery, may be invaded by another
road.
We have no doubt that the railroad
companies gave il out few weeks ago
that they would make no further extern
sions this year but we think that now
they may have come to different con-
clusiOn.
There is no necessity for giving up all
hope ola railroad to Medicine Lodge
yet awhile.

We are not surprised to know that
Funston was elected as the successor of
Congressman Haskell, in the second
district, last Saturday, beating Riggs
about five thousand votes and carrying
every county in the district. Last week
we predicted what the result would be.
and expressed the opinion that it made
but little difference which one was
elected.
Funston can at least be credited with
having made an open fight as a republi-
can, not declaring himself to be any,
thing else. He did not attempt to ride
but one horse in the canvass while
Riggs appeared to be trying to spread
over a half dozen. Neither the republic
cans, democrats, greenbackers, labor
reformers, anti-prohibitiOnists or indie
pendents could say that if elected Riggs
would be their representative. 1t was
currently reported that he refused TO
say he would vote with the democrats
in congress. Then what was the use of
the democrats making such fuss over
him for I?
Funston is known to be an open enc
my to the democratic party, and he can
be met accordingly he can be avoided
when necessary +; but Riggs would have

In the San Antonio department Of
the Texas Livestock Journal we find
the following concerning the drive of
1854
1t is the general opinion among the
best Informed cattIemen of this section,
that the number of cattle that will be
driven and shipped from this section
the present season will fall considerably
short of what it was last year. This
falling off will be mainly due to the
scarcity of money, not only in Texas
but in the sections where the heavy
buyers reside and do business. 1t will
not be due to the lack of cattle. A
wrong impression exists abroad, that
our section has been Slapped of the bet
ter part of its stock. There are more
cattle now offered than there seems to
be money to buy. Since the trail through
Indian Territory has been re-Opened,
the removal of the distractions has
given an impetus to business, as rail
road rates were put at too steep a pitch
for holders to consider such thing as
shipping, where there was fair chance
to use the trail. The advances, also.
which have been made on contracts will
enable many to move who could not
have stirred peg without such advanc-
es. Our cattlemen are honorable, and
will meet all their contracts as fully as
Is possible.

Buncombe is the order of the day.

The land enclosure bill passed by the
extra session of the Texas legislature is
simply a herd law in disguise, and is
unsatisfactory to everybody. Senator
Fleming voted against it, and says: 1T
puts herd law in operation in one
third OF the state against the protest of
nine-tenths of the population of that
country as evidenced by hundreds of
petitions presented to this senate. 1t
seeks to enforce the lease of the school
and asylum lands by penal statutes, a
policy that has never been enforced in
any civilized country, policy that will
be rs odiOus to the people of Texas as
any of the oppressive laws passed by
the notorious twelfth Legislature. Be
cause it will result in driving the stock
men in the northwest and west Texas
from the state, and especially men of
small means, as under the competition
system of leasing lands in unlimited
quantities the weather. syndicates and
corporations will outbid them and thus
drive the poor man from the state. 1t
will, if rigidly enforced, destroy more
taxable values and more property, and
ruin more peaceable, law-abiding citi-
Zens than the destruction of fences.

This country and Europe is consider
ably shaken up over Bismarck's refusal
to submit 10 the richstag resolutions
adopted by the United States congress
recently, on the death Of Herr Lasker.
Our congress and our state Legislatures
are rather fresh in passing resolutions
of coincidence, Of sympathy, of indigna-
ton, etc, and it is not surprising that
occasionally these resolutions are not
enthusiastically received by parties they
are intended for. In the case Of the res
olutions in question, it is said that they
were introduced as mere clap-trap, to
tickle the Germans of this country, and
no doubt that is the case.
Our legislative halls are fast growing
into vast electioneering machines. Mem
berS use all their energy in getting
through measures 10 tickle their con-
stituents, rather than to do them any
substantial benefit. They do everything
for effect, rather than patriotism. Their
thoughts are Of Office, salary, re-elec-
ton.

Sections of the country troubled with
Texas or Southern fever that expected
any relief from the bill before congress
looking to the prevention of the disease.
will be doomed to disappointment, for
the measure has been trimmed, amend
ed and so generally changed that if
passed it could be of no possible benefit
to this section. Every reference in it TO
Texas fever was eliminated, and the
bill will only attempt to protect the
country from pleuro-pneumonia, what
ever that may be.
This is unfortunate for Kansas and
Missouri, especially. These states have
heretofore been the greatest sufferers
from Southern fever, and will be for
many years, and il was confidently hop
ed congress would enact some measure
to afford relief. OF course Texas and
Arkansas were opposed TO such legisla-
ton, for a law keeping their cattle
out during certain seasons would have
been a serious disadvantage. Other
states, and especially those east, could

ravages caused by Texas fever. The
disease-bearing cattle are rarely ship
ped east until they have been graZed
season or two in climate that purges
them of disease, and after the first sea-
son they do not communicate disease,
so eastern states only know of the dan
ger from hearsay; and this information
is too frequently garbled and incom-
plete.
Congress has the power to prevent
these cattle from being driven or ship
ped north, except under certain restric-
tons, and it should have exercised its
authority. Did we know positively that
our state courts were equal to the emer-
gency it would not be necessary to seek
national aid but there is the rub. Our
state supreme court may declare that
the legislature acted with full authority
in passing the present law preventing
the importation of diseased cattle 4; but
no one can say that the United States
supreme court will not interfere and de-
clare this another case of meddling with
interstate commerce-a question which
when raised, eclipses all others that
may be raised, it appears.
Those of the Kansas members who
appear to care anything about this is
sue We're, we are glad to see, on the
right side and labored assiduously to
have congress pass the bill as it was first
proposed but representatives from
other states that should have been in
terested as Kansas is, were not equal to
the occasion.
1t is more than likely that in few
more years the North and East will see
this question as we of Kansas now see
it, for these infected cattle are being
shipped to ether parts of the country
more every year, and when they have
spread the terrible disease they bear
through the valuable herds OF the East
and North, the representatives of those
sections will awake TO the importance
of acting in harmony with Kansas op-
iniOns.
This year and even next then, we
must protect ourselves, and hope that
deliverance may come from some un-
looked for source.
