NEWS of the greatest Importance to
cattlemen 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 a suspicion among cattle deal
ers that the herds of native and Texas
cattle which range in the territory were
afflicted with Texas fever, but nothing
definite could be learned. \ man named
William johnson has just returned from
q trip to Oklahoma and passed through
the country where the herds are pastur.
ed. AS he made the trip on horseback
he was able to thoroughly investigate
the trouble. He says that not only are
the natives afflicted, but the thorough
Texans are dying by hundreds In the
pasture south of Arkansas City. The
symptoms are exactly the same as Tex
as fever. Thorough Texans have never
been known TO die of the disease before.
He says cattle are being shipped 10 mar
ket from pastures where carcasses are
lying in hundreds, and of the same
brands as those shipped, and that they
are considered good enough for Gamers
stock, and everything goes. If this re-
port sbould prove reliable people will
be very chary about eating canned
meats for some time TO come.

COMMANDER WARMERS REPORT.
An Eloquent EuIoGy on the Aims of the
Order-Membershipa and Recommends
tions.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29.-The lengthy
introduction to Gen. Warmers report
was devoted to an eloquent eulogy of the
Grand Army and its purposes The
present membership of the order he
went on to say was 410,6S6, divided
among GIL posts, and forty two depart
ments. The greatest gain was in Mis-
souri,, 1862. The departments of Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, New
York, Wisconsin and Ohio also showed
heavy, 1886 veterans having passed
away during the year. Since 1871 the
order had spent $4,000, 900 in charity,
of which $3.50, 900 had been distributed
within year. The report urged the
departments Of the country TO initiate
the action of the New York department
in presenting American flags to the pub
lie schools on Washington's birthday.
Action tending to draw the order
closer to the Sons of Veterans as well as
TO the order of Military Telegraphers
was urged and the pension question was
dealt with at length. The commander
in-chief deplored the fact that the COM
mittee appointed at the Columbus en-
campment to press the pension ideas of
the order upon the attention of congress
had been unable to make any progress.
He reiterated the arguments in favor of
the dependent pension bill: declared that
service pension must come and in
sisted that the bond holders of the coun-
try should reward the men who had
stood by it in its hour of peril.
Report of the Adjutant General
was devoted to statistical information.
Two new departments, those of Georgia
and Alabama, had come into existence
during the year.

THE PENSIONS COMMITTEE.
What Has Been Done in Eight Years for
the BENEFIT of the Veterans

What Has Been Done in Eight Years for
the Benefit of the Veterans.
MLwAUKEE, Aug. 29.-When the del
egates had assembled after lunch, a
lengthy report from the commit
tee on pensions was presented. 1t
opened expressing regret that, owing to
the short session of congress following
the last encampment and crowded con-
dition of business, little in the line of
practical results could he accomplished.
After the last encampment the commit
tee prepared two bills, one disability
bill so broadened in its provisions as to
include an Endorsement of pensions to
all honorably discharged veterans,
and another to give every honorabIy
discharged veteran a monthly rate
of one cent for each days services.
These bills were given in detail and the
committee expressed regret that it had
been unable to secure favorable action
upon them. Should, however, the en-.
campment reaffirm its position, the same
bills were ready for early presentation
to both houses of congress Immediately
upon the opening of the session and
from interviews with leading men of
both houses the cordial and friendly at
titude of the administration, and the
liberal views of the secretary of the in
terror and the commissioner of pen
sions, it was believed that before the
conclusion of the next session of con-
gress, legislation would be had which
would go far beyond the completion of
the full measure of the national indebt-
edness to the men who defended her
flag. From this the report went on to
give in detail the work that had been
accomplished by the Grand Army pen
sion committee in eight years. The
clerical force in the pension office had
been increased from TAO to $50; in the
adjutant generals Office to 1877. There
were 1865 additions to the list of surgeons
and 90 in other departments. These ad-
dltions had necessitated an extra expen-
diture Of $4,000, 900 yearly. a law had
been passed giving the commissioner of
pensions power to appoint boards of
examining surgeons throughout the
country to expedite the work. Another
appointing $50 additional special exam
liners in the field to examine cases in
which questions arose. A third
authorizing the employment of experts
40 TO special diseases in cases demanding
special attention; still another that the
acceptance and muster as a soldier
should in all cases be accepted as prima
facie evidence of his soundness at the
time, against existing disabilities. Others
increasing widows pensions from So to
$l2 per month, increasing the rate for
severe disability, had been passed. The
report concludes by recommending that
the work be pushed with vigor for the
wear to come.

HE Democrats of Ohio have done the
best thev could in nominating Jim
Campbell for governor. He will prob
ably poll as many votes as any other
Democrat, but will not seriously inter-
fere with the chances of Foraker for re-
election. Campbell, early in the race
looked was upon as a strong candidate,
but he has made an alliance with Cal
Brice and his barrel and is now looked
upon with distrust by the better class OF
his own party. As for the people at
large, the Buckeye state has had its fill
of Doodle politics and they will not ex-
change a safe, economical. patriotic, ad-
ministrator like Governor Foraker
for one of The reckless characters which
the Democrats have the reputation for,
in that state at best. The proceedings at
Columbus yesterday have in no way az
fected the certainty of FOraker's reel
ectiOn.

THE St. Paul Globe has finally made a
full confession of its belief that the Re-
publicans will elect the next Speaker OF
the House of Representatives. This is
really commendsble. But the GLoJe in
its extreme desire that the public should
know its patriotic wish for the safe keep
ing of the Republican party is constraln-
ed to name its choice for Speaker and
that choice is Mckinley, of Ohio. In
thus heralding its advice to the majority
party the Globe does itself proud, but it
need have no fears for the safety of the
Republican party should Reed of Maine,
Cannon of Illinois, Henderson Of Iowa,
or any of the prominent gentlemen
whose names have been mentioned in
this connection be finally chosen. The
Republicans will endeavOr to manage
everything to the general satisfaction of
the people, and while it is always pleas
ed to listen to listen to good suggestions
from Democrats, it will be pardOned if it
should fail to follow such.
