The North Bend Flail says: We are IN
formed by ]. P. Mallon that the blackleg has
been among his herd, and but for timely at
tention and prevention he thinks 1t would
have swept his yards. He lost four Of his
finest yearlings before he was aware OF the
trouble, but he thinks he has completely
checked the ravages of the disease. His rem
edy-or prevention rather, for when the ami
NAL is once affected there is no cure-is copf-
GUS bleeding. He cords the neck and takes
from one to two quarts Of blood from each
animal, and leaves seaton that continues to
carry off the surplus blood.
Dakota City Eagle: The neighborhood in
the southwest part Of the county was shocked
and all torn up few days ago by the report
that certain young lady of % or 30 summers,
who Is rather handsome, and residing with her
brother on a branch of the Pigeon above
Beaudreaux's, had taken dose OF strychnine,
her wish being to climb the golden stairs on
the easiest route. She was doped with grease,
sweet milk and other emetics until physician
arrived, who went to work with stomach
pump and attempted to bring back the patient
once more into this wicked world. Upon in.
quiring we learned that the lady is enceinte
and that young man in the neighborhood is
the cause of her trouble.
A Papillion (Sarpy county, special Gays:
Considerable excitement prevails here over
the discovery of gold quartz on P. L. Con-
vey's farm, in the range of hills about twelve
miles west of here. Samples of the rock have
been assayed by Omaha, Chicago and st.
Louis experts, and in every instance have
been pronounced worth working. Messrs.
Charles Behrendt and John Zimmerman, of
Papillion, both men of abundant means, have
become interested in the 'find" and will work
the lead for all there is in it. Convey, the
owner Of the premises on which the precious
stuff has been found, has refused handsome
offers for his land, and is confident the rock
will yield better than the assays promise.
The project for bridging the Missouri at
Sioux City does not materialize as fast as the
people of that busy little town desire. The
Minneapolis and Omaha railway ask for what
is considered to mean an exclusive use of the
bridge when it is built, and this the bridge
company is not willing to grant The Journal
says the Minneapolis and Omaha cannot afford
to take, if it were freely rendered, the exclu-
sive privilege of crossing cars on the proposed
bridge. Meanwhile without bridge no cars
are being crossed at all. Since the evening of
March 6, when portion of freight train
went off the temporary winter bridge, but one
days crossing has been done by the transfer
boat. Thig has been no fault of the company,
but of the river, which has cut out the land
ings on the Nebraska side as fast as they could
be made.
