A correspondent says: ANY one who runs
on the railroad long can understand what a
saving it would be to the stock dealer and the
railroads if the tracks were fenced in. II
would prevent cattle straying on the track.
The slaughter of the cattle along the roads is
something terrible, especially in the Indian
territory. To see an engine dash into herd
of cattle is enough to sicken any one. I've
known as many as thirty cows and horses to
be killed at one swoop. The engineer cant
stop, and the only thing he can do is TO put
on steam and hit the animals as hard as pos
sible to knock them from the track, for if hC
don't he'll derail his engine and probably Kill
his passengers. When the engine strikes the
cattle they are knocked up into the air and Il
one side, and often they burst and festooh tbs
engine with their entrails Sheep are Otter
killed. If one sheep happens TO cross tract
in front of an engine every other one will fol
low, and they'll Try to go through right undel
the moving cars. In the territory coyote
and deer are often killed, and there are an
number of snakes ground up When tn
engine is going rapidly birds often fly agains
the headlight and get killed, and the train
men often get lots of game that way. Mis-

Miasmatic, or malarial disease has
many forms. Physicians have, for the
sake of convenience and for the purpose
of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdivided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever, dumb sgue and

variety of symptoms in different Indi-
viduals. Be these symptoms what they
will, always remember that Hostetter's

Postage stamps in the form of stamped en-

owned private post in the city of Paris in the

to letters. This enterprising person also had
lett r-boxes at different points in the city. ir

be placed to be taken up by his trusty agents.

No doubt this picture of the schools of Vir-

ern States. It is not situation to be pointed
to with pride by any American, and while the
main responsibility for it certainly rests
those communities and States where it exists,
the evils and dangers flowing from it are in
a measure common to the whole country. The
Blair bill applies uniformly to all the States,
and those of the North would receive proper
tional benefits, though it is in the South, of
course, that the greatest need of national aid
exists. A great nation must remember that
there are other interests even more vital than
the development of its national resources.

Dakota and the thermometer marking in the
neighborhood of zero, is beautiful illustra-
ton of mans confidence in the order and

water is ice, and he would have to be a very

hours communing with nature without get
ting his ears frozen. Yet the gentle disciples
of Izaak Walton, if Izaak used fly and not
an ordinary fsh-worm, meet in a warm room,
elect officers and adopt plan of campaign for
next summer. In their minds, with the eve
of faith they see the forests in full leaf, the
fields clothed in living green, and the bound
ing bass lying in wait for the futtering fly as
it falls on the rippling surface of shady pools
in White river or Fall creek Truly, the fy-
fishermen have beautiful faith. But they are
right; nature will not disappoint them, what
ever the bass may do.

the measure will be the tightening of the
burdens now weighing so heavily upon the
masses and the reduction of the surplus in

ignores the idea Of protection to American
industry, which evidently finds no place in
the Democratic plan. Yet with large ma
jority of people it is the uppermost idea. The
people are not suffering from the alleged
burdens of taxation, nor are they worrying
about the surplus in the Treasury, but they
do demand that the policy Of protection to

THE disastrous fire last night is a serious

to, the entire City. At this writing it is
to state with any accuracy the
full amount of the loss or what proportion of
it is covered by insurance; but the destruction
Of property will aggregate above half million
of dollars, and may be very much more. In
addition to the actual loss, whatever that may
prove to be, there is the cessation of business
and the consequent loss of trade for which
there is no recompense. The fire was an OBJ
stinate one from the beginning, and tested
the fullest resources of the fire department;
indeed it was entirely beyond its capacity. But
the fire was fought with stubbornness, and
with bravery and endurance that demand the
highest praise for officers and men. It was
painful to see how feeble were the best
streams of water that could be had against
the furious flames at the hottest of the fire;
but in the face of intense heat and bitter
cold the men held to their work
without finching. That there was
