CATTLEMEN WILL FIGHT.

New YORK, Aug. 20 Long Branch
special to the Herald says: The Herald re-
Gently published telegram announcing that
Gen. B. f. Butler had paid visit to Rock
Island about which there was more or less
mystery. The real cause of the visit was
the order of President Cleveland directing
owners of CATTLE on Indian lands in the west
tc vacate their grazing grounds. Gen. But
ler is himself one of the proprietors of large
ranch, and his clients, and personal friends
represent many million dollars of capital
thus invested. The order is therefore OF
very great consequence and Importance tc
them.
He was preparing to see the president, and
the object of his visit was to ask prelimi-
nary order restraining execution of the proc
lamation of the president until the question
conld he determined by the court. Gen.
Buffers object was to present the matter to
Judge Miller. Judge Blatchford being absent
from his circuit, and not easy of access.
Butler presented very cogent reasons for
some order that would protect them. The
desired order was not issued.
Now the order of Cleveland prempto-
ry, summary and dictatorial. says they must
90. and 90 at once. Over this order there
will surely be fight. The cattle will not
be moved You could not move colored
picnic, let alone 5000. 600 head of cattle, by
any proclamation. let it issue from the presi-
dent or any one else. Yes, a fight will be
made 1t involves important questions;
the right of property, power of Indians to
make contracts, and power and authority OF
the government to interfere. OF one thing
rest assured; the cattle will stay and the
fight will go on. We have no autorrat III
this country If landlord wants to put
you out of house he gnes to the courts, not
to the president. If contract has been vlo-
lated we go to the courts, not to the execn-
tive. As to what Justice Miller decided |
do not know! He did not grant the injunct-
ion. No overt act has been committed.
The president had SIMPLY issued orders. If
nobody obeyed that was the enl of it, unless
he attempted to enforce it, and then another
question would arise.

OUR WHEAT SURPLUS.

New YORK, Aug. 30.-The Financi'l
Chronicle says: "The decline in wheat has
certainly strained spectators who have been
tryin. to carry our large su plus at prices
that Europe was not willing to pay. This is
the third occasion within four years that we
have kept our crop, when we might have re,
allzed good price for it, only to sell it at a
less figure later on. The decline appears to
have had no effect on business at western
trade centers. One reason is, perhaps. that
most of the old surplus is in the han'ls o.
specuiators, the farmers having got rid of il
at fair price. Still there is large crop O
spring wheat to come forward"

BUSINESS REVIVAL.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2S.-The revival i'll
business here is by no means confined t"
manufacturers 1t is felt by wholesale mer-
chants in all lines of goods. The conditions
of trade have visibly improved and the feel
ing is consequently better one. There is
yet much complaint of slow collections, but
the moving crop will in time bring relief.
Orders for goods from points adjacent and
remote are being received in usual quantities
at the factories, and many demands are ur-
gent so that full forces will be employed, In
some instances, for extra time. Profits gen
orally are light and business is being done
on small margins, but for the most part upon
a safe basis.

GENERAL NEWS.
THE HOP CROP DAMAGED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-An Albany special
says: In Schoharie and Otsego counties
hops are the greatest product. Within
week everyth hing was favorable to large
yield, but picking had scarcely begun when
the rainy period set in. Examination of the
flower in the past two days shows in large
number of yards that rust has injured It,
The market has been fiat for several weeks,
with prices below the cost OF production.
Under these circumstances destruction OF a
part OF the crop would be benefit rather
than calamity. Around Cherry valley it
is reported that 100000 pounds has been
made at eight and half CENTS. The Schoh-
arie acreage has increased 10 per cent.
Many growing crops in this region have
been contracted for at ten cents, and no
doubt many thousand bales have been sold
in this state ulthin the last few weeks at
that price.

Tim. Bacon's Farm

We quote the following about Mr..
Bacons farm, former resident of this
city, from the Waukegan Press:
Four miles northwest from Waucon-
da lies the 200 acre Meadow Lawn
Farm of T. Bacon, one of the most
Intelligent breeders in the County.
The farm is sloping prairie, we'll fenc-
ed and tiled, Some so acres are devot-
ed to corn, the balance being
pasture and meadow. The prime at
traction is the Meadow Lawn Herd of
Jerseys. The herd numbers twenty
females, all typical animals of their
priced race. At their head are the
two registered Jersey Bulls Ignatius
5,346 and Gala SOIL The former
is son of Lord Byron and Reindeer
I'd. He was bred by Sharpless, of Phi
ladelphia. The latter is coming three
years-old from Galveston and Zadoro.
He was bred by G. S. Dole owner of
the Lakeland Herd. All the
animals of this herd are
registered IN the American jersey
Club Record. Additional Mr.. Bacon
has 80 high grade Jersey cows and
heifers. These are IS and 1915.
His average of butter from Jan. 1, 'S4
to Jan. l, 'o5, has been 800 pounds.
This has been about the average for
the past three years. He is now re-
ceiving forty cents per pounds for his
butter and the year average is thirty
three cents. Last year he shipped
over $4,000 to Chicago. Mr.. Bacon
is a square, manly New Yorker. has
made his means on this farm and pro
nounces this first rate dairy country.
He invites correspondence and inspec-
ton of his herd and those who desire
first rate young Jersey stock No. l
grade cows will do well to address L.

County Judgeship.

The canvass for the office of County
Judge between Geo. L. Williams and
j. w. Cochran. was carried on in a
most friendly and agreeable way, so far
as the candidates were concerned; and
we know of no bad feelings generated
by any body interested in the canvass
outside Of the usual interest manifested
between two good candidates. The
popular sentiment throughout the
county before the election was in favor
OF Mr.. Williams as the large vote be
received now indicates. His majority
will probably reach $50, OUT of total
vote of 5000 cast in the county. This
result is of course gratifying to Mr..
Williams and his many friends throgh-
out the county regardless of party.
Mr.. Williams has held many posi-
tions of trust. He was first elected
County Supt. of Schools in the fall of
1877. He was next elected District
Attorney in the fall of 1880 and again
In 1882. He has been unanimously
elected Mayor of this city two terms
in which capacity he is now acting
We feel that We express the sentiment
of large majority of the citizens
when we say that in all positions he
has made a faithful, competent and
efficient officer. That in the capacity
of County Judge to which Office he is
now handsomely elected we have rea-
son to believe that he will MAINTAIN bis
already superior record.

At Stevens Peint, Wis, April 2nd, 1885. Mrs
a. q. Long. o. consumption, agel 80 years
months and two days.
Mrs. Long whose sad and unit mely
death we record in this issue. was born
in Montreal, November Both, 1916.
When only child she was left an
orphan and was adoped by Duncan
Dewar Esq, Of st. Andrews province
of Quebec. In the bosom of Mr..
Dewar's family she found every COM
fort that abundant means could be-
stow Great care was taken with her
education, and possessing a good mind
she loved culture araently.
At the age of % she was united in
marriage to Mr. A. E. Long. the
efficient millwright so we'll and favor
ably known throughout this section of
the state
Mrs. Long was the mother of four
children, two boys and two girls, Of
whom only one girl Kate) remains
to mourn the irreparable loss of an
affectionate mother.
About nine years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Long came to this city, and with few
Interruptions continued to reside here
until year ago, when in consequence
of Mrs. Longs poor health, and de-
spondent state of mind occasioned by
the death of her little Edwin, whom
she dearly loved, they broke up
house keeping and Mrs. Long for her
health's sake, visited among old time
acquaintance for some four months.
In the month of August last Mr..
Long decided to settle in Stevens
Point, and rented comfortable house.
Mrs. Long was never we'll from this
time until she died, as she contracted
a severe Geld while fitting up her
home.
Since the beginning of the year she
has been wholly confined to her room
aud required constant care. Her hus-
band lovingly and tenderly waited on
her day and night, proving the reality
of his affection until death should
part those whom God had united.
The best of medical skill was pro-
vided, but all proved of no avail and
the chastened and purified spirit of
sister Long passed quietly home to the
better land, on Thursday morning last
at 6:15 A. NJ. Mrs. Long was a
member of the church since she was
fourteen years Of age; and in every
place where her lot has been cast
actively Unidentified herself with christ

She often attended the services Of
the church when many in like con-
dition of health would have been
found in their bed With her the
spirit was truly willing but often the
flesh weak
Especially in Sabbath school work
among the young did she take deep
and abiding interest. ..,>...
In the fall Of '7s when resident in
Pittsville, she organized Sunday,
school almost in the face Of opposition.
and the seed sown has borne fruit, as
both a church aud Sunday school are
found there to day in active operation.
Mrs Long was a member of the
Congregational church in this city and
in its welfare she took an undying in

As friend, Mrs Long was warm
hearted and sincere, never guilty of
discrimination. AS neighbor thought.
