Hand Blown Off.

FORT COLLINS, March 2l.-Louis
Wetzler, a well known citizen of this
county, who resides about two miles west
of Fort Collins, met with a very painful
accident, by which he lost his left hand at
the wrist joint. Mr.. Wetzler had been
hunting geese in the afternoon, and had
discovered among his ammunition a couple
of shells which had failed to discharge,
and he decided TO remove the primers and
put on new ones. This had been success
fully done with the first, and while at
tempting the removal of the primer from
the second shell, which he held in his
left hand, the primer went off and dis
charged the entire contents of the shell
into the palm of the left hand, tearing it
open in a most frightful manner, from the
upper edge of the palm to the base of the
four fingers, laying the muscles of the en-
tire hand bare and SCATTERING the bones.
DIR. c. p. Miller was called Immediately,
and he found that it would be necessary to
amputate the entire hand, as the wound
was very badly powder burned. DIR. Mil
Ter was assisted in the operation by no one
but his wife, who has on several occasions
of this kind proven herself a valuable as
sistant. The patient is doing well since
the operation.

The Cattle Plague.

Whilst Wyoming is yet free from infec-
ton, and in all probability will remain so,
it may not be amiss to give some inter
esting facts relative to the so-called cattle
plague. 1t is claimed that the history of
the foot and mouth diseases cannot be
traced further back than 1895; and,
though it ragged from time to time on the
continent, it did not cross the channel
into England until 1889, when it was car
ried over by some imported Dutch cattle.
Since then, it has never been entirely
stamped out in that country, always ex-
listing in one district or another, and fire.
quently spreading widely just after the
great autumnul market fairs, when cattle
are brought together from all parts of the
kingdom. On the continent, this cpl
demic, like others affecting cattle and
men, mas most frequently made is appear
ance during wars and followed the move
ments of armies for the subsistence of
which large droves of cattle are necessa-
rily collected. 1t was in 1870 that the
foot and mouth disease, more properly
known as the epizootic aphthe, was first
brought to the United States by animpor-
tation of high bred but diseased stock.
The disease appeared in chat year in va
rious parts of New York and New Eng
land, excited great alarm, but gradually
died out without having reached the west.
1t is said that the present Kansas outbreak
is due tosan importation of the germs of
the disease in the clothes of two Scotch
~cow-herds. Whether this be really the
case or not, there is nothing improbable
in the report, for it is a well established
fact that the virus of this disease can
easily be transported on boots, clothing or
the hands of men employed in caring for
stock, or on hay or straw, or be preserved
indefinitely in stables or drinking troughs.
But while the epidemic spreads so rapidly
and 50 readily, it is not necessarily, nor
yet frequently, fatal. With intelligent
care the cattle usually recover, and rigid
quarantine and efficient inspection can
stamp it out entirely. Governor Click
did well in taking steps to this end, hat
Kansas may be spared the experience Of
the English farmers, whose pockets have
suffered an endless drain in the combat Of
this and other cattle plaques.

Alarming Adulteration of Food
Discovered.
Official Investigation Thereof
in New York. E-
Some Peculiar and Important
Legal Moves.
Foul Meat Dumped Into an
0ffal Dock.


ALBANY, March 2l.-The senate com
mittee on public health which has been
investigating the authorizations of food re-
ported to-daya and say they have discovered
wholesale and alarming authorizations
dangerous to consumers and depreciating
property in the rural districts. The imi-
tations have been so distinguished as often
to be only discoverable by chemical n
alysis. Out of thirty samples of butter
purchased by the committee in New
York only ten are genuine. The poorer
qualities of bogus butter are selling from
twenty to thirty cents to laboring men.
The better grades are forty to forty-ive
cents. The cost of manufacture ranges
from twelve to eighteen cents, the average
being fourteen cents. Many dairy farmers
have been driven u of the business.
The consequent loss to the state estimates
from 5000, 900 to $40, 0OO, 900 yearly.
The committee estimate that forty million
pounds Of the product is sold annually in
the state and the illegitimate business is
breaking u export in the butter trade.
Butterine can be sold eighteen cents less
than natural butter.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Major E.
Barksdale, member of congress from
Mississippi, who, according to the testi-
mony taken by the Copiah county sub
committee of the senate, made a speech
at Hazelhurst, advising the democrats to
carry Copiah county by the shotgun if
necessary, and hang Bluffton, republican
candidate, was before the senate sub-com-
mittee this morning and made a statement
under oath in his own vindication. He
denied the charge in toto, and said the
history of Copiah county had always been
characterized with love, law and order,
and in the events of the last election there
was nothing inconsistent with that record.
He made two speeches in Hazelhurst, one
on the day before the election in the after
noon to a procession of country people on
horseback, and the other in the evening
to a local democratic club. He could not
remember whether the mounted men in
the afternoon procession were armed with
shotguns. His attention was called to the
statements of witnesses about his speeches
and he pronounced all assertions that he
had encouraged violence to be false.

1t may be of interest to some of your
many readers, says Thomas Martin, in the
Trinidad NeUs, to learn something con-
corning the foot and mouth disease. In
1860 | had some experience with the dis
ease. The disease of 1860 may differ
from that of this year, but / will give to
the public my experience for what it is
worth. The foot evil, as we then called
it, made its appearance first between the
claws and extended upward and affected
the whole leg. In case of the present dis
ease | think the best thing to do would
be, as soon as the animal is becoming
lame, to throw it down and then take a
small rope, such as a clothes line, we'll
tarred, pull it backward and forward SO as
to clean the foot; then have Il painful of
boiling hot tar well softened with lard,
and pour a sufficient quantity into the
claws or upon all that is affected. If APP
piled when first taken one application is
all that is necessary, but if the disease has
been some time at work, itmay be neces-
sary to repeat every two or three days un-
til the animal is cured. In the mouth
disease of 1860, the best remedy we found
was nitrate of silver. Put the nitrate Of
silver in a glass jar, make a swab of any
wooden material, and fasten it on a stick.
Swab the mouth well, particularly the
tongue, and in the majority of cases the
animal will go right off and commence
feeding. Both of these diseases camc
from Kansas in 1860. There is also a very
bad complaint among cattle, particularly
at this time of the year, when cattle art
thin, which is the horn distemper. When
you notice the hair bristled or rough, par
ticularly around the horns, pour about
t~easpoonful of spirits of turpentine in the
cup at the butt of the horns. Watch tn,
movement of the animal, and fit don't
appear to affect him inside of fifteen o
twenty minutes, he is not troubled; but il
he shakes his head it is a sure sign tina
he has got it.
