WAsulsoToS, Jane l7.-It Is sometimes
very diasrous for applicants for Office to
70 or halt-cockei, as It were, and com.
mence 10 abuse their influential friends
for seeming neglect or half-hearted sup
port In their behalf. A case OF that kind
occurred in the appointment Of the Su-
pervising Inspector for the Cincinnati
district. Mr.. James Burke, OF Covington,
KY, was strongly indorsed for the posi-
ton By many prominent and Influential
gentlemen, including Hon. Samuel ].
Randall and Speaker Cafiisle. A few
weeks since, when Mr.. Carlisle came on
to Washington, aIr. Burke gave him a
letter from Judge Holman to Secretary
Manning Introducing and indorsing Burke
for the place. Mr.. Burke requested Mr.
Carlisle to deliver this letter to Mr.. Nam
ming. At the time Mr.. Carlisle told Burke
that he had better present the letter him
|Belf, hut the latter thought not.
Itseems that Mr.. Carlisle was so oeea-
pied with other matters during his brief
stay in Washington that he forgot all
about Burke'E letter=and carried ig back
TO Kentucky with him. Burke found ont
that Mr.. Carlisle had not died his letter,
and he wrote TO the latter, who was then
In Louisville, requesting him to send the
letter TO the Treasury Immediately. This
Mr.. Carlisle promptly did, also sending an
other letter that he thought would aid
Burke in his aspirations.
In the meantime, however, Burke i'm
aeined that Mr. Carlisle was playing him
false, and charged him with attempting TO
hide his Endorsements. Alf. Carlisle heard
Of Burke's charges, and he Immediately
wrote to the Secretary Of the Treasury
stating the case and Withdrawing his in
dorsement Of Burke, He also wrote 10
Burke notifying him Of what he had done,
and stating that his conduct was inexcusa-
be. Up 70 this time It WAS conceded by
every one here who had any inside infor.
nation upon the subject that Mr. Burke
would be appointed. Mr. Higgins was
sure ofik. The letters Of Mr.. Carlisle had
4 most disastrous effect upon Mr.. BuIke's
chances; from the horr OF its reception he
never had the slightest chance for the ap-
pointment, though h6 was regarded as q
splendid man for the place, and was csr-
ytlinly handsomely endorsed (; still the law
appointing power concluded that he had
necessarily gone out Of the way to inn
pugn the third ranking offseero the Gov
ernment, and that he should suffer for the
indiscFation.

over Plymouth and Cherokee counties,
vas attended with great loss Of life. The

MrS. Gramer, Mrs. D. Rayes; two other
ladies' In the same house were also in-
iured; John Gpetehle, his wife and two
children, John Bsancaife and Mrs. stlAs
Forbes. The streams have risen so rapid
" that the physicians cannot visit their
patients. There viii probably be other
deaths and injuries reported Is the water

Thecourssof thetornado was as follows:
II reached sionx City ut 10:15 and Lemars
10:45. Itlastei about thirty minutes, and
Was accompanied by rain and hail. It
then yeered 10 the East, and was next
heard of, damage being done as far East as
Waterloo. Until 1915 q. y. il rained,
when smother tornado from the North
west swept over Lemars more destructive
than the first, lasting an hour and O half.
This came from Southern Dakota, q far
west as Yankton. The track, ss far Is can
be learned at this time, was in the shape

Texas cattle fever. They believed that
the prominenea he had given the disease
In his investigations and recommendations
had damaged their cattle interests fully q
million dollars. The Commissioner list
ened with an appEeciatfve ali, said he fele
q particular interest in the cattle industry,
and wanted Il fostgred rather than dam
aged. He spoke Of the necessity Of having
q man at the head Of the Bureau who
possessed the requisite scientific attain
ments, who was uppreindiced, who would
act impartiaiiy, neither coneealing nor
magnitying the outbreak Of the diseases.
Where could he find Euch q man? Had
the Texans somebody who would I'LL all
the requirements they could recommend .
This was practical. The possessors Of nm
numbered long.horns manifested inereas-
ed interest in the matter. They asked
numerous questions as TO what qualifca-
tons would be expected Of Dr.. kalmon's
successor. The Commissioner informed
them July. At length one Of them pru-
IDENTIFY asked the sAlary attached to the
Office.
aThe pay Is S, 500 year, replied Mr..
Colman. These cattle kings, used to i've
and six-fgure checks and to calculating
their cali crop by the thousands, rosa up
as one man. Apparently the subject had
lost all interest 70 them. They 6ade the
Commissioner good day and walked away,
not leaving the name Of the successor 70
Dr.. Salmon behind them.

ExeeedlnsIy Weak Condition.

From Mount MeGregor-rha GenerA1 In an
Exceedingly Weak Condition.
MI. McGREooR, n. Y, June 1T.-When
General Grant reached bis cottage after
his walk to the brow Of the mountain he
was much exhausted. and sank into his
chair in the parlor. Very soon he indi-
Gated by signs that he wanted some
writing materials which were procured,
and he then wrote for nearly half an
hour. Theresult was two letters or papers.
One was headed Memoranda for my
family"
In It the General had written that he
thought he was fatliug and for certain In
structiors that he desired carried out he
referred his family TO other and more de-
Gnite memoranda prepared by, him before
leaving New York. The other note he
folded and addressed to Dr.. Douglas. He
handed the papers to Col. Fred Grant aud
that addressed to the physician Ia under
stood TO have been otsimilar import Is
that 70 the family.
The afternoon wore away with the Cen
eraI sitting outside on the piazza, alter
having written as stated. The sunset
found him still there, and when dusk
deepened he was yet sittlug silently on
the porch at the outside otthe front door OF
the Cottage. When the lamps were light.
ed and the light streamed out into the
growing darkness the sick man was
yet outside, though the air was chilly and
4 stiff breeze was swaying the pine tree
tops. Col. Fred Grant and DR.. Douglas
were near at hand.
At length alter s o'clock the General
went inside the cottage and Or. Douglas
wrote and sent meSssgeto DR.. Sands. He
asked him TO come here II possible to-
night. At 9 o'clock the General retired
and Dr.. Douglas then thought that
his throat and neck appeared better
than on Tuesday night. Its possible that
the Generals walk this afternoon
tested his waning strength too
far and the reaction has brought
to him sense Of weariness that he feels
is not to be lightly disragsrded. Whether
his weakness to night IS the immediate
result Of undue exertion or whether Il ia
the weakness Of reaction alter his journey
Is question that the doctors only may
presume to answer.
At 10 o'clock the General seemed to be
sleeping in his room. The family at that
hour, as during the entire evening, we're
gathered In the .psrior, aud DR.. Douglas
vas With them for the night. At II
o'clock they retired and the cottsge was
daIkened. Dr.. Sands leaves New York
at II to.niga and will reach here in the
morning.
