Waiting Now for the Expert.

Well, the world is no wiser than 1t

again. lie felt the pulses of the sick
Jerseys and pronounced them some
what ailing, but did not know exactly
what was the matter with them, and,
like all people in high places, looked
wise and talked doubtful, and tele-
graphed to DR. Salmon, at Washing
ton, to send an expert on the pleuro-
pneumonia disease instanter, if not
sooner. So the expert is c)ming and
the country is holding its breath for
the experts opinion, which, in the
humble opinion of the HERALD re-
porter will turn out to be either Texas
fever, contracted since the cattle were
brought here and sold, or, being dis
cased before coming, could not weather
the storms Of this climate and died. AS
to the disease being pleuro-pneumonia,
even the men who were most excited
over the matter admit that these "In-
diana Jersey cattle were a fine-haired
consumptive lot, and very naturally
took sick with change of climate
But we await the experts coming.
