Census.

Fl. Reno dispatch: The enrolment of the
Cheyennes and Arapahoe Indians has been
concluded. There are 2, 169 C~heyennes and
1,3C0 Arapahoes. No census has been taken
of these Indians since 1874, when the Chey-
ennes numbered 3,905 and the Arapahoes
1856. Upon this basis rations have been is
sued ever since. The present count shows
that the government has been defrauded ont
of the difference. The amount saved by the
new census viii be $1,000 pounds of beef
weekly of the value of 1852. The smonnt
to be saved yearly is $50, GOO.
This result shows how strong the Influences
are likely to have been to prevent the count
not only from the Indians themselves. but the
contractor as well. The INDIANS are now ner-
fectly satisfied, and the trouble is all over

] A SEVERE hail storm recently passed
over the western and central portions Of
Nemaha county and great damage was

the damage to the crops is SO great as to

still in others the damage is comparatively

WHEAT o BILGHrEp.-"Whatdo I know
about the report of blighted wheat in Ne

from private sources?" said Mr.. Hime-

porter's question.
'r'Why, 1T was undoubtedly started in

added that, while the wheat crop OF Ne

She wheat in this state was blighted, fol-
lowing the reports of failures in the south,
was intended to have it's effect.
His firm received several kilograms, On
Saturday and yesterday from Chicago and
other points inquiring as to the truth OF
the reports. He had himself recently been
out on the road as far west as Cozad and

into the country to see the crops for them
selves. In addition to this he had sent out
--siace the reports of the blight had come
from Chicago and St. Louis-to two-thirds
OF the grain dealers in the
etate, covering nearly every sec
ton, and replies from a majority
of them had been received. All but one
dealer Gin Clay county, had reported fav-
orally on wheat. Samples OF wheat had
been received of fields being cut. the poor

As a result of the inquiries the following

Secretary Chicago Board Of Trade:
After travelling many hundred miles
through the wheat region OF Nebraska and
making general inquiries by mail We fail to
discover, except from two points, any evil
dence of blight to the spring wheat. Cut.

danger OF blight is passed and nothing but
weather can spoil our oats, wheat and

and large yield. Respectfully,

Col. Fisher, United States minister to

partment a report made to him by E. De
LaGrania, a physician of Boston, who &C.
companied the medical commission re.
Gently sent to Valencia by the Spanish gov.
eernment to investigate the cholera epidemic
and to report upon the efficiency Of the
new system OF incubation practiced by
DR.. Ferran. The report says: Persons
treated by Ferfan were found to have
inoculated in both arms, but presented no
marks or scars other han those made by
the hypodermic syringe and now almost
obliterated. Some of them stated that they
had a little headache and all severe pains

hours after incubation. One of the most
remarkable things is that none had either
vomits or diarrhea as effects OF i~nocula.
ton, excepting the small children, who,
according to one of Ferran's ASSISTANTS.
had both. Statistics presented by Ferran
cannot be taken as statistics by ANYBODY
free from prejudice. The only thing to be
said in favor OF Ferran's method is that
those who have undergone it have lost all
fear OF the disease. Ferran asserts that
the inocculated do not nave any immunity
until five days after incubation, but he
does not know for how many days after
that they are protected. The inoculated.
however, do not appear to acquire much
immunity because they are attacked by
cholera and die like those not inoculated.
The commissions has concluded that the
NEGOTIATIONS are inoffensive and recon-
mended that Ferran be allowed to con-
tinue his experiments. The opposition to
the present government OF Spain has been
making political capital out of the sus-
pension OF NEGOTIATIONS pending investiga-
ton, thus allowing FeTran and his asso-
ciates to pose as martyrs for the cause OF
humanity, science and progress. It is my
opinion that Ferran's probylactics will be
short-lived and will fall into as much dis
credit as the treatment OF cancer by the
use OF cundurango discovered some years
ago by n OF our WI physicians"

NEWS OF NEBRASKA.

The DYING APPLE TREEs.-The state
horticulturalsociety through its secretary,
James T. Allan, deem it important to
present the following facts to the fruit
growers OF the state, which call for decided
and immediate action in every orchard,
and by this action a disease, of which the
cause and cure have been in doubt, may be
wiped out. The fire, or twig blight, as it is
known, is where the ends OF the limbs are
killed in summer, as if q fire had swept
over them. 1t is more prevalent in Ne
braska this year thar it has been during
any previous enc in the history of Nebras-
ka orchards. TIL subject has been dis
cussed for years without conclusion as to
the cause.
At a meeting of the Farmers club, held
at Lincoln July 13, Prof. Bessey, dear of
the industrial college of the university, ex-
hibited some specimens of the bacteria
which produce the sap blight in apple trees.
He called attention to little drops OF
gummy matter which had exuded from the
dying twigs, and soaking one of
these in water, placed it under
a powerful microscope. The water was
seen to be swarming with millions OF
mlnute bodies OF an iva or oblong shape,
and Tor the most part arranged in twos.
These the professor assured the club were
the famous blight bacteria, which bear the
technical name of "micrococcus amylor-
orus." They are related to the bacteria
which produce smallpox and diphtheria in
man, and the swine plague in hogs, and it
has been demonstrated that the blight in
trees is as much a disease as are the dis
eases ei !mep and animals.
Healthy trees, when Calculated with the
fluid containing bacteria, soon become af-
fected with the blight. This suggests to us
a source of danger hitherto unthought Of
that is, we may i~noculate our trees while
pruning. By Cutting through the affected
part great numbers OF bacteria may adj
here to the knife and be carried to the next
healthy tree The knife must be thorough
ly cleansed by dipping In carbolic acid after
using it on blighted twigs. 1t must be
borne in mind hat the disease extends
much farther down the twig han is shown
on the exterior. TIL professor showed
specimens of Juice from a blighted twig
eight inches below apparent limit OF the
disease, swarming with the bacteria. 1t
takes a practised eye to tell the real limit
of the disease and the limb must be cut
again and again until sound wood and
bark are reached and the ina cut made
with a clean knife.
Mr.. Masters, the veteran orchardist of
the state, was present and said: "If a
man will cut off every blighting twig as
soon as it appears he can clean his orchard
of blight, being careful to burn everything
cut Off" 1t is hoped that the fruit growers
will give this their immediate attention
and report results to Mr.. j. T. Allan,
Omaha.
