Serious nature Of Til; Cattle r1sru..

Serious Nature OF the Cattle 2laeue.
In an interview regarding the spread of
p!euro- pneumonia, Hon. James Wilson, the
farmer congressman of Iowa says 1T is a
fact sufficiently startling to the owners of cat
tie and to everybody who deals with cattle
owners. Missouri is directly south of Iowa. No
natural barrier separates us. Diseased cattle
cattle are almost sure to be. The presence Of
this plague west Of the Mississippi will open
great many eyes. Certain wise men assure us
that the disease could not exist in the dry at
mosphere of the West Still, we now learn
that every animal that was exposed In Illinois
several counties in Missouri, and, if prompt
steps were taken at once to stamp it out, it
would cost q very large sum Of money to pay
for all that have been exposed. Missouri can
not ship east nor west She can drive into
Iowa and who can tell One drove will pollute
Iowa. The governor has done all for us he
can 1t ID high time we did something for
ourselves If the disease should be discovered
soon in Iowa ana investigation show that
traders have contaminated several counties as
thoy did in the states that are suffering,
out the disease DISEASE viii q require 1 " large large
sum of money, arc we any better prepared for
such an emergency than the other states that
look helplessly on while the disease spreads!
Nobody thought much about the COW and her
calf in the last legislatures Of our states;
wonder if they will in those that will sit this
winter! A tornado going through each county
in Iowa would be harmless compared to this
plague. A halt will bo promptly called to our
prosperity, and heavy; steady losses will come
to all who deal in cattle or with farmers who
breed them Would it not be well to have
candidates for legislative honors seen on this
subject, and their minds diverted long enough
from prohibition vs.. license SO that IN i'm
preston would be made?

carrying her youngest child in her arms, an
othor child aged ton years and the hired man

door Of the house, which led into the shanty.
the smoke and flames burst in, nearly over
towering him, and burning of part of his
hair and beard. The hired man then broke
out window, through which they got out
but not before Mrs. Luerson was severely
burned. Luerson made several frantic efforts
to reach tho children still asleep up stairs.
but there being no door or window through
which this could be done except the window
on the side of tho house already in flames, no
was powerless to rescue them. The names of
the children burned were: Hans, aged SEVEN
teen years; Louis, fourteen; Barbara, ten;
Samuel, five; and Andrew, six. Nothing but
the charred remains were recovered in the
morning.

Gen. Middleton Wants More Troops.

Winnipeg special:-Lord Melgund arrived in
Winnipeg on the 18th. Ho is on his way to
Ottawa with important dispatches from Gen.
Middleton to the government, which the gen.
eral was afraid to transmit by wire 1t is I'M
derstood that Middleton is urging the govern
ment to send up more troops as he regards the
present number at his disposal entirely made
quate to suppress the trouble in view Of
the Indian rising Melgund left after Saturdays
fight, which does not appear to have been go
favorable to our troops as the first dispatches
indicated, because after an all day hard fight
Middleton had not succeeded in driving
the rebels from their we'll chosen position.
Much comment is bcing made regarding Mel
gund's return to Ottawa from the West. The
government admits that he has come to con-
fer with the governor general respecting rein
forcements. arms and other particulars in put
ting down the rebellion; but the opinion wide
ly prevails that Middleton has tempered with
Orders from Ottawa not to follow up and at
tack the rebels, and this is said to have some-
thing to do with Melgund's mission French
men are still pushing for making concessions
with the half breeds, and negotiating to bring
about peace:
