Governor Gray Asked to Quarantine Against
Kentucky Cattle.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
VINCENNEs, Oct. 30.-Hon. Robert Mitchell,
late Republican candidate of Indiana for Secre-
tary of State, and president of the Indiana State
Fair Association, has sent a request to Governor
Gray to quarantine the State against the i'm
portation of Kentucky cattle into Hoosierdom.
In the Princeton Leader, to-day, Mr.. Mitchell
gives the following interesting interview:
Eyes. I have sent the Governor a request to
quarantine against the importation of cattle
from several counties in Kentucky, as pleuro-
pneumonia exists in them to an alarming ex-
tent
Where, in Kentucky. did the disease origin
ate?'
THE disease started in the herd of Frisbe &
Lake, and from there it spread TO several other
herds in adjoining counties. 1t also appeared In
a very fatal form in the herd of Daniel Bran
mock, of Hamilton county. The fatality in this
mock assembled and slaughtered his entire herd,
burning the diseased carcasses with the fence
rails of the farm
But what gave rise to the document sent by
you to the Governor Of Indiana2"
The reason assigned by me for asking Gov
ernor Gray to quarantine against the importa-
ton of Kentucky cattle, at least for the present,
is the existence of that terrible disease in that
State, and the further fact that a large number
Of Kentucky cattle are being brought into this
State and exposed to public sale, and the breed
ers of Indiana are afraid of the disease being
transmitted to the herds of our State by the
cattle here. Indiana is so centrally located that
it is likely to be used as a Shipping point. 1t is
known to be a fact that a great many Kentucky
cattle are being shipped to this State and pas
tured here, and then shipped West as Indiana
cattle"
What is the object of that2"
THE Governors of several Western States
have prohibited the importation of Kentucky
cattle; hence. this plan is Eesorted to, in order
that they may get their cattle upon the market

/. The weather is still dry and cool. II
is the supposition of many of the
farmers that there will be only about
a half crop of wheat this year as it is
looking unusually bad at this time,
owing, no doubt, to the dry cool
weather. Some farmers in the neigh
borhood of Clearspring, in that noted
wheat-growing vicinity, have plowed
wheat fields and put them in corn.
There have been several frosts this
month but III consequence of the dry
weather there has been no perceptible
damage TO the fruit or garden.
The prospects for fruit, of all kinds,
is quite promising.
Business on the canal is booming up
a little.
We are informed that there are four

swift, neither is it to the strong, but
to the one that gets the most votes.

There is not much transporting here
at present that is of general interest.
Last week, and a portion this. how
ever, will not soon be forgotten on
account of the intense excitement
caused by fearful fires. The first, in
Third Hill Mountain, was managed
without much more trouble than
mountain fires usually create; but the
second on Kitchens ridge near Jones
Spring, and the third, in L. O. Willis
Coaling, did more damage; the form
err destroying a considerable amount
of fence, and the latter great many
cords of woods.
We had nice shower of rain last
night. and the wheat and grass are
looking up a little, while the boys are
smiling because the troublesome fires
arc extinguished.
We are glad to notice the name of
of our former friend and fellow eiti-
zen, II. S. Butts, announced as cam
didate for superintendent of schools.
He will be strongly supported by the
voters of this valley.
