Mouth and Foot Disease.

EMPORIA, Kan, March A large num-
ber OF prominent cattle dealers held pub
lie meeting this evening to take steps tor
the suppression of the cattle plague. 1t Is
known that foot and mouth disease
exists in malignant forms at NeOshO Falls.
Several large cattle owners returned from
NeoshO Falls yesterday and reported bad
state of affairs existing. A resolution was
adopted. urging the citizens of the afflicted
districts to use all means in their power to
stamn out the disease 1t is believed that
this can be DONE Ever since the publica-
tiop of the telegram from Lieut.. Gov. Fin
nev stating that the cattle in the vicinity
ofNeosho Falls were affected with the foot
and mouth disease, the information has
been the chief theme of conversation
among our cattle men. Hon. VIM. Mar
tinsdale, l.. S. Every, Sheriff Wilhite and
VIM D Bird. who went to NeoshO Falls to
examine into the prevalence of the diseases
and consult as to the sbest means of exter-
nina. on, returned yesterday. These gen.
item, n state that they visited three herds
of ca ,e. those of A. c. Goodrich and ID. A.
Keith. of Coffey county and John Bird OF
Woo son county. OF these cattle about
three hundred and lightweight are more
or les affected and many have the disease
in a very virulent form. Some have their
hoofs off and the legs OF others have rotted
off as far up as the second joint. The dis
ease is said to resemble and be cOmmuni-
Gated exactly like small pOx, in fact there
is no c0ntagion among cattle which so cas-
lily spreads.
WASHINGTON, March THE treasury
department, in view of the reported preva-
lence of the foot and mouth disease in
the cattle of Great Britain, is considering
the propriety of prohibiting the importa-
ing neat cattle from that country. COllec-
tors Of customs at Boston, Portland, New
York, Philadelphia and members of the
Treasury Cattle commission have been
called upon to give thaF views on the sub
ject.
Topeka, Kan, March Gov. Click re-
turned to-day from WOOdson county, where
he has been investigating the mouth and
foot disease among cattle, and he says that
he found the situation bad enough indeed. |
In answer to the reporters inquiry, the
governor said, "an immense meeting of the |
citizens was held at NeOshO Falls and a |
committee of six men appointed, with
Lieut. Gov. Finney as chairman, who were |
instructed to adopt quarantine regulations,
