OKLA UNION, Tex, Aug. %. 1889
Our little town was captured last
night. We surrendered to Capt. Pinck-
| ney of the Taylor Rifles and his party.
But as his party consisted of the young
ladies and gents of Vernon, Messrs.
Napean of the Houston and Texas
Central. first lieutenant of the Taylors,
sad others, and the property captured
twas the use of fiddle and the Emf
grant house for a few hours, we are
happy and want to be captured again.
The party was out on a picnic excur-
sion to the coveted COmanche country
had broke bread in the promised land
and of course had to stop and see the
''Gate City -
Already the air is thick with rumors
as to the result OF the settle
ment of the COmanche country. 4
renegade from the other side of
the territory was trying to make the peo-
pie believe yesterday that they would be
arrested for going in there. He found
the wrong party to deal with. The cow
men admit that they are "gOne'' if we
ever get a foothold in the Comanche.
To prevent it would forbid us the COM
mon right of American citizens. The
settlers know their rights, and will not
ask more and will accept no less. The
enthusiasm for the Oklahoma bill is
growing daily and THE GAZETTE is max
ing friends Tor its fair and fearless stand
on the issue. Immigrants are pouring IN
every day, and the correspondence from
homeseekers is simply immense. Build
ing is going on lively, for well we know
that the rush to the gold and silver mines
in the near future will be ahead of the
rush for homes, and to accommodate all
is what we are here for. Greer settlers
are coming here for supplies and we have
no merchants ''equal to the occasion, -
as nothing short of wholesale store can
supply the Is 900 population IN Greer.

"A remarkable and very disastrous
plague to stock is now raging in Davis
county, Ind. During the past few
weeks Il number of farmers i'll various
parts of that county have lost some of
their finest horses. An investigation as
to the cause of the strange occurrences
brought to light what seemed an incTed-
ulOus state of affairs, but has proven an
absolute fact. 1t was found that ticks
are actually killing horses, which these
pests attack in great swarms, and suck
the blood from the animal until it is
helpless and is relieved of its sufferings
by death. Examinations show that the
pests eat their way through the hide into
the flesh. 1t Is thought the ticks were
brought by the Texas ponies, which have
been sold here in large numbers in the
past few months. The ticks attack cows,
but do not seem TO have the same effect
as on horses

Hog cholera and swine plague are two
distinct diseases, but are often con-
founded Each is caused by a minute
germ, but the hog colera germ is distinct
and different from the germ of swine
plague. The honor of discovering these
germs is ascribed to Dr.. E. ID. Salmon
of the bureau of animal industry of the
United States department of agriculture .
whose methods of investigation have
been all that could be desired. DR.. + .
5. Billings of Nebraska, himself a dis
tinguished investigator, has denied the
existence of the swine plague germ be-
cause he could not find it in his hogs, but
that was his own fault. DR.. Bill
mgs was the first to CLAIM
that hogs could be protected
against cholera by incubation from dis
eased subjects. But this practice is a
bad one, because it makes every hog so
inOculated a means of spreading the dis
ease. 1t has been found, howeveIS that
the cholera germ may be propagated in
artificial preparations. Hogs inoculated
with this artifciaIly prepared virus APP
pear to possess immunity against the dis
ease and also to be unable to spread it.
This last fact is not thoroughly demon
strated yet, but is believed to be the
great discovery that will afford a practi-
cal remedy for or preventive of hog
cholera. DR. Salmon IS plan of dIsin-
lection or quarantine affords no practical
protection against the disease. Such, in
brief, are the conclusions (after six
months work. of the special commission
appointed by the United States depart
ment of agriculture last winter to investl-

ever seen in this city, and the pieces were
OF such proportions and numbers as to en-
