BUCKNER'S BILLS.
A Hard Working COngressman-Prac.
teal In His Views and in his
Work.

The index shows that there were $500
bills introduced in the House of the Forty
eighth Congress. Of this number the
Missouri members contributed 29s.
Mr.. Hatch was the prolific member, put
ting in thirty-six measurers. Mr.. Buck
ner comes next, with thirty-three to his
credit, and Mr.. Burnes and Mr. Fyan ran
q dead heat for third place with thirty
two each. Going to the other extreme,
one finds that L. H. Davis is deserving of
mention for having put in only three bills,
q record which it is believed vas not
beaten by anybody in the last House. Mr..
Bland and Mr.. Cosgrove got their wants
down to a moderate basis, putting in only
ten each.
The following are the bills introduced
by Hon A. H. Buckner of Audrain.

AUDRAIN 0. K.
No PIeuro-Pneumonia in This
County.
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
TO KEEP 1T OUT.
The Prompt Action Taken by the Citi.
zens of the State.-Notes.

The question as to whether there is
any pleuro-pneumonia in Audrain
county is now settled beyond doubt
and we trust we will have no more
unnecessary excitement. All we can
do now is to assist Callaway in
stamping out the disease and help
her keep it within her borders. AS
soon as it gets out of that county
the whole state will be put under
quarantine. We have had two or
three mass meetings IN Mexico and
good resolutions have been passed
and committees have been appointed.
The committees are as follows:
Local communicated. Green Clay,
Judge James f. Ross, G. NJ. Lack
land and Maj. r. E. Lawder.
Township committees-Saling. S.
w. Downing.
Wilson-Judge r. C. Carter.
Salt River-W. S. Hathaway.
Prairie-E. Hughes.
Loutre-Henry Howe.
Linn-rhomas Robnett.
Cuivre-Judge ]. NJ. Beshears.
The following committee was ap'
pointed to raise money for McHat
toms and Crosby's COWS and Others
that might be killed: Judge John A
Guthrie, Judge VIM. Stewart and ]
A. Potts.
DIR. Trumbower came to Mexic'
Monday to kill the only two cattl
in Audrain that had had a chance Il
catch the disease-one Of McHat
toms fine COWS and Mrs. Crosby
cow. They were both killed and afte
a careful examination Trumbower dc
cided that they were all sound an
well. If any other cattle are foun
in Audrain that have come from Flu
ton they will be killed. This is th
only way to stop the disease and
every county will take such prom
action there will be no trouble. Al
drain and all other counties in tn
state should and will do all they ca
to help Galloway. Money is VIII:
they want and must have. Hundred
of cattle around Fulton are to /
killed at once.

NOTES.


Audrain county.
Colorado has quarantined against
cattle from any other state.
Audrain will do all in her power to
assist Galloway in stamping out the
disease in that county.
Drs. Rodes, Crawford and Russell
were out to the slaughter and took
great interest in the matter.
The Saline county people are petit
tioning the governor to call an extra
session of the legislature to attend to
the matter as it should be.
We trust there will be no more ex-
element in Audrain county as it is
now settled there is not a cas- of
pleuro-pneumonia in the county.
Col. Green Clay, c. N. Lakeland,
Maj. r. Z. Lawder and other leading
stock men as well as business men in
town are taking a deep interest in
this matter.
One hundred dollars was paid for
McHatton's thoroughbred cow. Mrs.
Crosby only asked $50 for her animal,
which was accepted. Her cow was
very poor and had been sick.
Audrain has killed the only two
cattle in the county hat had a chance
to catch the disease. They were
sound. Other counties should do the
same and the disease would be
stamped out.
Coils. Rickenbaugh, Bailey and
Harrison from Galloway were over
and called on the LEDGER. They
we're much pleased at the prompt &C
ton taken In Audrain and were glad
we did not find any disease.
Governor Marmaduke and DR..
Trumbower have telegraphed the gov
ernor of Kansas that it is not neces-
sorry to quarantine against Missouri
as the disease will be kept in Gala
way till it is stamped out.
There are some stock men who
still think there is no pleuro-pneu-
monia anywhere. Such men should
go to Fulton and see for themselves.
If all were like them every herd OF
cattle in the world would die.
DR.. Trumbower, who was here this
week and superintendent the killing
of MIR. McHatton's and Mrs. Crosby's
COWS, is U. S. veterinary surgeon and
knows his business. He has more
experience perhaps than any other
man in the U. S.
Governor Marmaduke and Con-
g1"ssman Bland have telegraphed the
HiH. Norman J. Colman, commits
ssoner - agriculture at Washington,
calling his attention to the existence
iof plenro-paaumonia in Galloway
county, and asking him for the
prompt and vigorous 8 of all the
power he has under acts of Congress
f. the suppression of the disease.
The disease has not spread outside
of Callaeay aud We think not ter
miles from Fulton. Ali the herds
examined in and around Fulton ars
