Especial. 1-Governor Marmaduke re-
turned this evening from Mexico,
where he attended a meeting OF
stockmen, called to consider the
subject of pleuro-pneumonia among
the cattle in Galloway county. The
governor feels quite jubilant over the
turn matters have taken. The meet
ing, he says, was one of interested
and representative men. From the
very best of information obtainable,
he feels positive that there is moi
now n single case of typical pleu
ro-pneumonia existing in the state
and all that is necessary to restore
public confidence is for the people tt
raise a small sum of money to hell

Cows very often die. Last Tues
day a cow belonging to Mediation,
lust south of town, died. The cow
had the diarrhea. A man named
Hardness went out to McHatton's
and examined the cow. He said she
had the pleuro-pneumonia. He said
she had it bad-a typical acute case.
He advised the burning of the barn
and the killing of cattle she had run
with, especially the burning OF the
lungs of the dead animal. Hardness
is one of Colman's appointees.
He draws So a day and expenses.
He used to run a livery stable and
what he knows about cows is beyond
our comprehension. The physicians
of Mexico looked at the lungs and
in company with Col. Clay, Mai.
Lawder and other leading stock men,
and also j. F. Llewellyn, refused to
burn the lungs and denied that the
cow had the pleuro. DIR. Rodes took
a part of the lungs and went to Full
ton with them where they were ex'
amined by Veterinary Surgeons Trum
bower and Kitchener, who agreed witt
our people here that the COW did no
have SAID disease at all, as the follow

was only prevented by members of the Isett
family, from rushing in at the great risk Of
her own life, to rescue them. The unfortu-
