The Cause of the ",ottom Disease.

Des Moines correspondence, 22: Prof
Stalker, state veterinarian, was called to
Pottawattamie county short time ago, to
ascertain the cause of the death of about
l40 horses. They first became dull and
sluggish, then sleepy, and finally dlges.
ton ceased, there was no action of the
bowels. and death ensued in every case
They would go to sleep while feeding, end
even with TUFTS OF grass in their mouths.
Professor Stalker, after full investiga-
tlon of the symptoms, became satisfied
the cause was some narcotic plant eaten.
He made thorough search for several
days. He made post mortem examina-
tlon OF several animals, and in all
found the same condition OF the internal
organs. The stomachs were filled with
impacted grass-in some cases the mass
weighed seventy pounds. He discov-
cred a weed growing lu1uriantIy, which,
though not known to be poisonous, be.
longs to the family of poisonous plants.
1t is known to the botanists as crotalar;a
lily. Farmers would call it wild pea
1t grows three to SIX feet high, spreads
at the top and bears a pod a5outtwo and
ouC,dait 4uCuco 1OuR, 11he pea. IL is
also covered with q fuzz. This was the
only plant to which he could attrlbnte
the trouble. He gathered quantity
and offering it to other horses they
would not taste it. He accordingly de-
cided to experiment with horse in his
intrmary, and, preparing fluid extract
from the plant, gave it to his horse. The
result was that the horse at once became
comatese. After few days he repeated
the dose in similar quan.
tity, and the patient keeled
up, without solving the problem.
Another horse was taken, and given a
very small quantity, daily repeated.
The result Is precisely the symptoms
shown IN the Pottawattamie county
horses. He has now got to the sleepy
stage, and will sleep for hours. Does
not lie down. Action of the bowels has
ceased, and evidently the hay eaten is
being impacted in the stomach. The
experimental test will be continued
until the horse dies, as it undoubtedly
will, if it be not already dead.
The professor is of the opinion the
horses, by constant nibbling of this
weed, acquired taste for it, as they ate
it freely. 1t grows on the bottom lands
along the streams in this state. There
is no remedy against its effects, so that
the only escape is not to pasture horses
where it grows. This discovery is indeed
valuable one to the farmers OF Iowa.

An Aerial CyClOne

Sioux Falls, D. T., Sept. So-Special to
the Journal: A storm which had been
gathering all day, passed over us last
evening. There was but little wind or
rain. although the clouds were very
black and threatening. There was
nevertheless peculiar feature of the
storm which attracted much attention.
As the heavy wall of the black clouds
approached from the south, tremen-
dous and continual roar came with it
which seemed to remain overhead for a
few minutes and then gradually passed
away. The sound restmbled that made
by heavy train passing rapidly over a
bridge, and was undoubtedly caused by
an aerial cyclone or hurricane, which,
however, was above the lower stratum o.
the clouds, and could not be seen.

Hon. John R. Wilson, tue nominee OF
the democratic party for candidate for
congress in Dakota, is a rising young
lawyer of Deadwood, a gentleman of
excellent character and politician of
good reputation. He was member of
the legislative council in 1881 and there
represented his district with ability. As
there is no possible chance for the elec.
tion of Mr.. Wilson his candidacy is a
mere matter OF form. Judge Clifford
will have the satisfaction of beating one
of the strongest men III the democratic
party, from section of the territory
very much inclined to democracy, and
these circumstances will render Judge
Gifford's twenty-five thousand majority
more gratifying than it would be if won
over played out hack, run over the
course for the looks OF the thing. The
campaign will be decent one Will

The Roberts County Record anticipates
good results from recent political
developments. It says:
Judging from the continued wrangle
between the north and south, division is
the only thing that will remove the bone
of contention and turn attention from
factlonal strife to matters of vital i'm
portance to the welfare of our people.
Although we had rather be in the center
of large state than in the corner of a
small one, yet, as it is really choice be,
tween being in the middle of a civil war
or the corner of peaceful state, we say
give us Clifford, division, harmony and
prosperity.

Attorney General Hughes has deliv.

of no importance to the parties inter
ested. The Roberts County Record tells
about it:
In another place will be found letter
from Attorney General Hughes to R
K. Hall in regard to the south line OF
this county. 1t is very unsatisfactory
answer to the important question, and il
is evident from its tone and question at
the end that the difficulty was not
properly explained in Mr. Hall's letter
and that the Jog of two miles and eight
chains in the town line was not consid
cred in Mr. Hughes reply. This leavei

When her photographs were finished

very angry. and revenged himself by
adorning one Of the photographs with a
moustache and painting a cigar in the
mouth. A second he decorated with a
large pair OF red spectaeles, and in the
third he gave the face blotehed aud
disgusting appearance. Then he framed
the three pictures, wrote some doggerel
verses under them, and hung them out
side of his studio. The villagers gath
cred around, aud much scandal was the
result. Bradley went further, and cir.
.culated disgracefully embellished pho.
.ographs of the girl among the yosng
men of the place. The direct result OF
all this was a lawsuit. by which Miss
Horner recovered 5000 damages.
