TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
Experiments Being Made in the Chicago
Stock Yards on Native Cattle.

Experiments Being Made in the Chicago
Stock Yards on Native Cattle.
CHICAGO, August 1.-The experiments
with Texas fever are progressing at the
stock yard. July IL, five native cattle were
placed In q pen previously occupied by
Texas cattle. They appeared to maintain
their health and flesh till August 9, when
SYMPTOMS of Texas fever began to be mani
tested. The next day one of them died. An
examination of the dead cattle showed the
bladder filled with bloody virus, the kidneys
highly infamed and discolored, and slightly
gangreneous, and the spleen and stomach
enlarged and infamed. These are unmis-
taxable signs of Texas fever.
Another experiment was commenced July
20. Some native cattle were placed in pen
with ten Texans. At the end of week the
Texans we're taken out. The object was to
see if a weeks contact is enough to trans
NIT the infection. The native cattle used
in this experiment have not yet shown
any symptoms of disease. A change
will hereafter probably be adopted in the
matter of placing Texas cattle at
the yards, SO that they will be penned
separately, and their pens used for no other
kind of cattle. Texas cattle themselves are
never affected by the disease unless they are
taken back to their native home after being
in the north six months or more. While
here they never betray symptoms of any
disease. The greatest danger is that native
stock cattle may contract the disease while
kept in Texas pens, and after being sold
and taken into the country spread the con-
taQion.

ROME, August 13-The following details
have been received of the massacre at Sagi-
nett: The Abyssians chief, Hebeb, had as
sembed force of four hundred men, with
the intention of raiding the Arkike district.
The Italian commander at Massowah, hear
ing OF the intended raid, sent 400 Bash ba-
zonks, under command of five Italian offic-
ers, to try to surprise the Hebebs forces.
On the road the officers enlisted the services
OF 200 members of tho Assaortin
tribe. Sagineh was reached on
Wednesday last and it was found
that Hebeb had been warned of their ap-
proach and intreuched his position. An
attack was made by the Italian force, how

village. But during the assault the Assaor-
tins proved treacherous, and made an attack
on the Italian rear. The Bashe Bazonks be.
came panic stricken and were massacred

Last night detective told reporter that
the police expected to arrest Tascott, the
murderer of millionaire Amos j. Smell,
within forty eight hours. Three days ago
Inspector Bouield left town and it was
given out that he had gone to Colorado for
recreation. A dispatch from Denver yes
terday said he had arrived there in COM
pany with two friends. Che names of the
inspectors friends could not be obtained at
police headquarters, but q reporter learned
that two officers had disappeared from the
city at about the time the inspector left.
Two weeks ago the inspector expressed con-
fidence that he would yet bring Tascott to
the gallows, and said that he had strong
hopes of laying his hands on him before
macy months. At the same time he stated
that Tascott's relatives had been closely
watched and if there was any communica-
ton between them and the murderer the
police would surely learn of it. The in
spector also said he elieved that Tascott
was still ON the continent and that he was

SIOUX CITY. Ia, August 13.-Reliable "A

IN Northwestern Iowa and Southern Dakote
give different picture from that which =
drawn by the reports which are current in
the east. In many of the important crone
tnere Is gloomy outlook in both reQioas
named. Wheat and all grains in northveef
ern Iowa will yield less than a third of an
average crop, and in many counties rust has
severely attacked wheat and oats and nroh-
ably not more than one-half the fields viii
90 cut and the grain threshed out. Many of
the farmers will cut oats only for rouoh
feed for stock. The fields that will be bar

otherwise promised fairly good crops are
twisted and trampled by the storms of tha
| last lew days 80 that there must be in anv
event great loss in the yield. This is The
real situation, and it obtains to a greater or
less extent up to- the Minnesota state line or
| through three or four tiers of counties.
Passing to the southern part of Dakota
| there are considerable sections in which the
same situation exists. It is even worse in
| those sections than in northwestern Iowa,
because more wheat ard grain are raised in
the former than in the latter. Many Dakota
| farmers are too poor and have had high
hopes of an abundant crop. The corn crop,
which is the least damaged of any, is slightly
damaged in some sections in both southern
Dakota and northwestern Iowa. Hail and
wind storms, which have been playing havoc
In the corn fields, have also blown down and
broken the corn. Corn was not in good
shape to resist the wind, because the late
spring was followed by hot weather and fire.
quent light showers. These caused the roots
to spread near to the surface, instead of
striking deep as usual; 80 it did not require
a heavy wind to PROSTATE corn.
In the track of some of the storms of last
week great fields have been leveled to the
ground. Extremely cold weather has en-
sued, and continues. Corn is maturing
slowly. The crop was two weeks late to be-
gin with. ALI these these things enhance
the peril from frost. The last week there
fore has put a new and less agreeable face
on the crop outlook in this section. Before
that time it was exceedingly bright. Even
now 1t is not to be understood disaster is i'm
pending, but that the reports which were
sent out week ago are to be taken with de-
duCtiOns.

the bugler came to attention, raised his

A Murder Confessed.

COLUMBIA, g. O.. August 9.-On the 9Th of
December last the body of Jacob Burt an
elderly deaf mute, was found buried in q
potato patch near his home in Edgefield
county with his skull crushed in. Circum-
stances pointed to Louisa Burt, the muir
dered mans wife, his daughter CLANCY, Is
years old and, Ephraim Mays as the guilty
parties, and they were accordingly arrested,
but upon their trial the jury failed to agree,
owing to the fact that the state only pro-
duced circumstantial evidence against them.
The second trial took place in the Edgeheld
court Of general session yesterday, when
the states case against the prisoners was
made conclusive by the voluntary: comics
sion of CLANCY Burt, which was to the effect
that Dan Graham knocked her father in the
head With base ball bat and killed him
while be was asleep, and that <Ephraim

were present, and acquiesced in the murder,
picked the victim mp, carried him about ten
yards from the house and buried him in the
potato patch, whore the body was found
few days later by the people of the neigh
borhood. The jury rendered q verdict of
guilty. Ephrahm Mays and Louisa and
CLANCY Burt we're eentanced to be hanged
on the 18th of September next. Dan Grs-
ham disappeared immediately after the
murder and has never been arrested. Cha
