Mortality Among Live Stock In Texas.

ST. Louis, Jan. I8.-Dispatches from Texas
continue to report great loss of cattle and sheep
by the late cold weather on many of the ranges
in the northern and western part of the State.
Great numbers'o of cattle have drifted southwark
till stopped by wire fencing running many miles
east and west, and are now dying by hundreds,
and even thousands, from hunger, thirst and
cold. The loss is chiefly on the ranges, which
had suffered from drought both grass and water
being scarce, and the cattle in poor condition,
great amount of stock has arerdy been lost by
the unusual severity of the weather 1t is esti-
mated that 10 per cent. of the cattle and 20 per
cent. of the sheep have persisted.

IF it be true that the police board-or
rather Messrs. Murphy and Mcrrison-have
concluded to enforce the laws it is not only
we'll, but it will provoke wonder that such q
determination was not sooner reached. There
is no demand for nonsensical effort at en-
forcement, which is really in the interest of
law breakers-such as has heretofore been at
tempted-but there is a demand for proper
and reasonable enforcement of the statutory
regulations in the interests of public morals
and public order. In such an enforcement
the new majority of the police board will
have the hearty support of the Journal, and of
all good citizens

WE are informed that Mr.. Cooper Treas
urer of State. has denounced as false the state
ments Of the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which we copied into our columns
on Saturday last We are informed that in
the cloakroom of the House of Representa-
tives he said with much apparent heat that
the letter misrepresented him. We are
grieved to hear this, for it gives color to the
reports circulated by the enemies of Mr..
Cooper that he is interested in preventing an
official inquiry into the condition of the State
Treasury. We have not thought it possible
that Mr.. Cooper should do this. 1t
Is remarkable thing to see the Gus

objecting to a show-up of their condition

a barrel Shortly after eating breakfast they
became very sick, and were taken with cramps.
Their symptoms indicating poison, they were

contain arsenic. How it got there is mystery
which will probably never be solved The VIC
TINS are in serious condition.

turned quickly enough to accommodate
their business. Lumber shipments from

General Agent Sage, of the Chicago,

to agents saying that the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific will not receive from
any connecting lines any box or stock
cars loaded with freight of any descrip
ton upon the outside of the car. CaI
inspectors are instructed not to pass cars
when so loaded This is the result of al
lowing omigrants to put some article, such
as a wagon, etc, upon the top of cal
when the car is loaded full and will not
hold more. This has led to numerous
accidents, principally on account of low
bridges, and the order is issued to remedy
the evil.

TimRlV Warning.

The city marshal will have all that he
can do to get the city cleaned up thOrN
oughly before summer comes and the hot
rays of the sun cause refuse carelessly
deposited in dangerous places to become
putrid and give forth poisonous gases.
Cutters are we'll filled with the accumu-
lation of long winter, and the alleys,
many Of them are terribly filthy. Wheth-
er the cholera comes or not this summer,
the city should be well cleaned up. 1t is
little compared with the evils that u.s.
ually follow uncleanlines. 1t is neces-
sary that the citizens should cooperate
in this work and see that all dnt, slops
and refuse of all kinds are cleared away
and no more suffered to accumulate.
There is little danger as long as the tem>
perature is below the freezing point, but
now that the weather is becoming warm
er, and all corruptons of that kind are
made dangerously unhealthy, prompt and
vigorous measures are necessary.

Our Maple Trees.

During the last cold snap, the maple
trees were noticed to have hanging from
them small icicles, while there had been
no rain or snow to melt and freeze again
to form them. When these are tasted
they were found to be sweet and were in
reality formed from sap which exuded
from under the bark. The.previous warm
weather had started the flow from the
roots and the cold weather suddenly COM
ing forced i: to flow from the bark. OF
late years public attention has been at
tracted to the rivages of a minute insect
or bark lice upon the soft maple. This
has led to the general practice of looping
off the limbs Of these trees where they
have been found infested with the vermin.
The brush has generally been thrown in
the bitches instcsd of being burned, and
now it is beginning to be thought that this
does not allay the difficulty, and that the
eggs on these branches hatch in the
spring and become as bad as ever.

Notwithstanding the oft repeated COM
plants which are daily being uttered in
regard to the long continued close of the
river, it is not nearly so bad as it has
been, and the people lived through it too.
Only four years ago, in the spring of 1881,
it was much worse 1t was three weeks
and two days later than this that it went
out on that occasion, and the people, par
ticularly those of the lower portion of the
city, have good reason to remember it, for
the whole of the lower portions of the
city were flooded by the greatest rise ever
known hereabouts. Then tie water rose
to over eighteen feet above low water
mark and people feared that the moving
ice would tear every thing to pieces on
the river bank. The river frozc over on
Nov. q, 1880, and was closed within five
days Of five months, an extraordinarily
long season AMI an extraordinary ending.
1t does not look as though we would have
flood this year, but it looks more ant
more as though the ice would hold out
for some time.

An old man was about the city today
trying to sell some cement for sticking
wood glass, etc, together He said he was
an old man, over 20, and that he was
through the war, q member Of the Eighth
Michigan regiment. He claims that he
was so injured in the war that he cannot
work at his trade, and he has bill for a
weeks board to pay in Davenport which
he promised his landlord that he would
try to make up tonight. The story of the
man may be perfectly true, but it did not
look well to see man literally begging
people to buy his glue and wearing a
couple of gold rings, watch and hand
some gold chain with fancy bangle. He
was well dressed and seemed to be
healthy and comfortable.

Smoker Discharged

The Spickler trial ended at about half
past o'clock last evening, the arguments
having consumed less than two hours
Mr.. Parmenter opened for the people,
followed by Mr. Kenworthy and Mr..
Beardsley for the, defense. Mr.. Parks then
answered for the prosecution and States
Attorney Entrikin thought that the
ground had been covered by the others
and made no argument. The evidence
on the part of the prosecution was strong
to prove the perjury, and that of the de-
Tense to prove that Spickler had time to
get home from the sale, take care of the
stock and then drive the hogs to his
fathers, seemed almost equally as strong.
Justice Chopper discharged Spickler,
thinking there was not sufficient ground
for holding him. The attorneys for the
prosecution thought they had sure thing
on the binding over of Spickler, and
hardly thought Justice Chopper would
take upon himself the responsibility of
discharging the defendant when the testi-
mony was so conflicting. A threat of
prosecuting Bateman for conspiracy was
made, but the Spickler hog trouble is
probably ended for good as far as the
courts are concerned.
Three cases against the Spicklers have
all been decided in their favor. The first
WIS as to the ownership of the hogs; then
the long Jury trial Of the charge of steal
leg the hogs, and now the perjury case.
In the first the hogs were decided to be-
long to Spickler, in the second Ellsworth
was acquitted of the charge of stealing,
and now no grounds for holding Henry
on the charge of perjury are found.

Coming to Time.

II is said at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that
Mr.. Wagner, of this city, who had about
81 900 worth of beer seized there on &C
count of the prohibitory law, has settled
the case by written agreement between
the temperance league and himself, in
which Mr. Wagner binds himself to nei-
ther sell or ship beer in Iowa, and to pay
the accrued'costs. They seem to mean
business there and the late decision of the
supreme court of the state strengthens
them in thei- stand. In Muscatine Charles
Lang, proprietor of Lang's brewery, in
formed the secretary of the county alli-
ance that n OF another key or glass of beer
would be sold from the brewery Mr..
Lang said he had been waiting for the
supreme court decision to know if the
prohibitory law was constitutional, and
the court having now plainly and une-
quiyocally declared in the affirmative, he
had resolved to remove his brewery bust
ness from Iowa TO state where it was
protected by law.
