attendance upon the services was larger

there was an immense crowd more than five
thousand people being present during the
day. Rev. DIR. McLane Of Boston preached
In the forenoon and Rev. DIR. N. II. Whit
taker of Portland in the afternoon. Both
were very able and eloquent discourses.
The order and decOrum during the day was
unexceptionably good.
Rev. Mr.. Adams, the president of the
meeting on that day, before the commence

compliment, when he remarked that this
was the fourth meeting he had then attended
as presiding officer, and that during all this
time, Sundays included, he never had oc-
casion to call for the services of police

of any one not consistent with the pro-
prieties of the meetings. AS a popular
manager and superintendent of the religious

There were 27 sermons preached during
the meeting. All Of these discourses were
good, while many of them for ability and

The music under the direction of Prof

PASTURES WHERE CATTLE LIE DEAD.
The Feeding Ground of Animals for
the Eastern Market.
Texas Fever or Something Worse
Raging Among the Herds.
a Sensational Story Told by Travellers
in indian Territory.

KANSAS CITY, NO., August 26.-Reliable
news of greatest Importance to cattle men in
all sections of the United States comes from
the southern line of Kansas and the pasture
lands Of the Indian territory. There has
been for some time suspicion among cattle
dealers that the herds of native and Texas
cattle which range in the territory were af-
nicted with Texas fever, but the fact has
been SO well guarded that nothing more def
mite than suspicion has ever been made
public.
William Johnston has just returned from
trip to Oklahoma, and passed through the
country where the herds are pastured. He
says that not only are the natives afflicted,
but the thorough Texans are dying by the
hundreds In the pastures south of Arkansas
City. The symptoms are exactly the same
as Texas fever, but thorough Texans have
never been known to die of the disease before.
it has always been the natives that suffered
Dy taking the disease from apparently healthy
Texas cattle.
He says that cattle are being shipped TO
New Y 0rk and Boston markets from pastures
where carcasses are lying in hundreds, and
OF the same brands as those shipped. They
a. are re-, considered good enough for Gamers
OF good natives, and had them in pasture
with thorough Texans, has already lost half
OF his herd, and the rest are dying so rapidly
that it will only be short time until the
whole herd is gone.
This incident is repeated from several pas
lures, and the cattle men are becoming so
much alarmed at the outlook that there is a
strong probability of the Governor being
called upon to take such quarantine measures
as will prevent the introduction of any more
infected stock from the South.
Among the cattle raiSerS it is a preyalent
belief that the disease isn't Texas fever, but
something that is even more serious. The
fact that the through cattle are as badly af-
fected by it as are the natives gives an air of
probability to the theory. The managers of
the Kansas City stock yards will take imme-
dlate action in the matter and try to prevent
the shipping of cattle from the points where
the disease Is ragieg.
The worst feature of the trouble is that the
cattle have been shipped from the infected
sections for the past month, and are scattered
now all over the United States. From sew
eral towns throughout central Missouri come
complaints that cattle are dying from Texas
lever contracted from passing herds that
were driven through or were shipped through
on cars.
