Report on Cattle Disease

NEOsHA EALLs, Kansas, March %.
The following veterinary surgeons
have been in consultation here. and
have made a thorough investigation
of the alleged foot and mouth disease
among the cattle of this locality:
DIR. Beattie, of Chicago; DR.. De Solo
mon, Veterinary of the Department
of Agriculture; DR.. M. Trumb0wer,
of Sterling, Illinois; DR.. Geo. G.. Fa-
vile, of the Colorado State Agricul-
tural College; DR.. E f. Hazard Ar
mold, Scotch surgeon, now of Lex
ington, KY; DIR. Harris, or Lexing-
ton, KY, and DR.. Stocker, of Iowa.
These gentlemen are positive they
have discovered the source of the
trouble ar d all agree: First-It is not
epizootic aptha. lacking many of the
important symptoms of that disease;
it is not lack Of care, neither is it
alkali water; it is no contagious dis
ease whatever, as not new caseh as
appeared for weeks, although the
weather has been moist and wet.
DR.. Solomon says as soon as he saw
the cattle he thought otherwise, and
then proceeded to examine the hay.
This had not been done before. They
found it contained a large amount Of
wild rye which was full of ergot. The
surgeons all say they never saw one
twentieth part as much ergot in q
bunch of feed. The theory is that
the ergot by contracting the blood
vessels and otherwise retarding cir
culation caused the feed to freeze.
This ends the great scare. While it
is proved not to be a contagious dis
ease, yet the people of this section did
only what was prudent to do. Find
ing strange disease among cattle
which they did not understand they
reported it to the Governor. He ap-
piled to the general government for
the best skill they could furnish. The
Department of Missouri sent an ex-
pert whom they fully recommended.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington sent another. Their de-
cision has been published far and
wide. While many did not give full
faith to this verdict of the experts, it
was thought to be the duty of the
community in justice to the people of
other sections to act in accordance
with their decision.

GALVESTON, March 21.-Robert
Owen, George Dodge and Patrick
Donnelly, three young hoodlums who
a year ago took possession of some
street cars, terrified with a pistol
fusilade the people on the principal
streets, and wound up by stopping
negro funeral and dumping the corpse
into gutter and themselves riding
about in the hearse, received pardon
to-day from the governor conditioned
upon future good behavior. The trio
were much affected by remarks from
Judge Cook who released them. The
sister of one of the prisoners never
relaxed her efforts to have them
pardoned from the day they were
sentenced, and at last succeeded in
interesting several we'll known young
ladies who it is understood were in
strumental IN securing the desired
release.

Correspondence of the Miner.
GLENDALE, March 5, 1854.
A contemplated wedding is Gauss
ing much comment in town. The
disparity in ages is too great to be
quietly ignored. The bride, to be, is
13 years old, and her future husband
is 43 years of age. Most little girls
of 13 are enjoying hide and-go-seek,
and it seems pity to deprive a child
of such innocent pastime.
We hear that Mr.. Henry Machen
is improving and will return home
with his wife as soon as he is able to
travel.
And still they go-the men, we
mean. bouncing" is the order of
the day.
The snow comes and goes, and a
horribly sticky mud is the result.
Most OF the ore-teams are taken off
for time.
We understand that f. A. Hun
gate will not go on the rancho, as he
had planned, this spring.
Mrs. George Gassert's mother died
and we shall expect to see the family
back. Mrs. Gassert has the SYM
pathy of all her friends.
We hear that Joe Conway is night
clerk at q hote. in Missoula, and
Charlie takes in goods on toboggan
to the Ceur d'Alene mines, making
S25 trip. We should judge he
earns all he can get, if all accounts of
the trails are true.
LATER.-MARCH q.
The long talked of wedding came
off last evening, the Goth inst, when
the youthful Miss Hardisty became
Mrs. Wells.
Following the wedding was a dane
ing party, and generous hospitality
freely circulated the FLOWING BOWL y
The usual results followed, viz: dis
graceful drunkenness and row,
which ended more fatally than COM
mon. We are not acquainted with
details aud will not attempt to give
them. Two of the men got into a
fight, where a knife was used freely
and one was horribly cut and man
gled. He was terribly intlamed when
his wounds were dressed this morn>
ing. 1t is said the one who did the
mischief had provocation, and some
say it was all in self defense. Dur
ing the fight Joe Shepard interfered
but was hindered in his efforts to stop
it by a man. whom Shepard finally
knocked down to keep out of the
way. Watching his chance the cow
ardly fellow came up behind Shepard
and struck him on the head with a
stick, inf1icting horrible wound.
Shepard was knocked senseless, and
at last accounts was not expected to
live. Such are the effects of whisky
and all alcoholic drinks! Shakespeare
aptly called drink San enemy put
! into the mouth to steal away the
brains"
Mr.. Nesbit the photographer, was
married Wednesday evening at the
place of Mr.. Howard, near town, and
| the irrepressible gave the h.ppy
couple a grand charirori.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gassert returned to-
day, and we are happy to state it was
mistake in regard to the mothers
death, She is living but very ill.

We have just read "Ishmael, or In
the Depths" by Mrs. Emma D. E..
n. Southworth, and, to say the least,
we were surprised.
Accustomed all our life to reading
and, in the last few years priding
ourselves on "keeping up" with the
literature of the day, we are ashamed
that we have SO misjudged the char
acter OF Mrs. SOuthworth's writing.
Prejudice has prevented our reading
much from her pen. We knew she
has been for years the most per>
sistent, successful, ,vOluminOus writer,
but, because Of the sensational titles
of most of her books, and because
they were usually serials in the the
New York Ledger, and, last,
but not least, because her admirers
belong to the class of readers who do
not usually care for the higher style
of fiction, we have passed her by, as
one we had no time for. In one
sense we were not far wrong, for no
book of hers we have read contains
much of philosophy, or of the best
character sketching, but 'tIshmael,"
at least, has high moral and relig-
iOus aim, and no parent or guardian
need be afraid to see it in the hands
of any young person. If as is gener-
ally conceded the characters in fic-
tion, while perfectly natural, should
he such as to elevate and ennOble and
Inspire the reader, then Mrs. South.
worth, in "Ishmael,' is an ideal
writer.
The hero is said to be a national
character. We only hope there is so
noble man in our country. The
reader will be charmed with the
lovely home fairy Bee, and deplore
the one fatal defect in the character
of queenly Claudia. It is book of
interesting plot and characters, and
for the good and pleasant lessons it
teaches, should be widely read. 1t is
published by T. B. Peterson Il Bro.
of Philadelphia, but will probably be
found at all good book stores.
There are those among the MINER
readers who will be interested in new
scientific works. We call the atten-
tion of such to C. III. Aaron's new
book on assaying, published by
Dewey s Co., of San Francisco. The
work is in three parts, and the vol
ume before US is Part I, and treats Of
gold and silver ores. The book is
dedicated by the author as follows:
To the Mining and Scientific Press
Of San Francisco. The Steadfast
friend of truth and progress-an hon.

is treated in a plain and simple man
