Professor M. Stalker, of the Agricul-
tural College, StateV Veterinarian, ia. has
Just returned from an official inspection
of the herds of cattle near Fort Dodge,
reported 20 be afflicted with hoof dis
ease of fatal type. After n full in
vestigation the Professor concluded that
the disease is caused by ergot in the
fodder. 1t is not contagious, but affiicts
entire herds that are fed with hay in
which the poisonous substance exists
in considerable quantities. Tho ergot
is black fungus growth often found on
wild rye, blue grass, red top, and other
grasses, late in the season. The poison
when taken into the animals stomach
arrests the circulation in the limbs,
causing dry gangrene or foot rot. The
disease usually makes its appearance in
the spring, after the cattle have been
fed for some months on fodder contain
ing the poisonous fungus. Ergot, the
Professor says, Is more abundant on
wild than tame grasses. 1t is black
and brittle, resembling the fungus
growths on grain heads and corn stalks
1t sometimes produces commissions and
abortions. A plentiful supply of corn
will sometimes overcome the effects of
the poison, but there is no specific after
the hoof disease appears. Prevention
is the best cure And the surest meth
cd of prevention is cutting hay early in
the season before the fungus appears on
the ripened grasses and plants.

its best recommendation since it will

used as parts of costumes and being

treasury agent was among the latest
in the patronage of the governor but
that this was the crooked avenue
through which part of the fat came was
not quite such common knowledge I'M
til Mr.. Osborne divulged it in debate.
1t was this fact perhaps more than any
thing else that led TO the passage of the
bill A probable action in the Senate
is concurrence in the bill as amended.
a somewhat unexpected action even
TO the friends of the measure was the
passage OF the Kcogh prison labor bill
the provisions of which will substitute
the public account system for the pres
ent contract system. The first day the
bill came mp it was defeated by but
three votes. At the next session MIR.
Keogh secured 4 reconsideration, mean
while not forgetting 10 do some fine
lobbying fer his pet, and the bill went
through with several votes to spare. As
remarked, such q result was surprise
even 10 the friends of the bill. The bin
viii be disposed of in the Senate within
few days. The prospects there are
that no such smooth shedding awaits it.
In connection with this the "Keogh
war paint act might be mentioned.
The issue of the Milwaukee Sentinel of
the day after the passage OF the bill
contained caustic editorial rejecting
upon the action OF the assembly. This
greatly ineensed the representative
from Milwaukee, Mr.. Keogh, and
fguratively speaking his hair stood on
end No sooner had the chair an
nounced that the assembly was ready
for business than Mr. Keogh was on his

FREMONT, Neb., June IN. J. Col.
stem, a Fremont merchant, who has been
running the Fair for some time, has sud
denly disappeared from the city, leaving
last evening, stating to his friends that
he was going TO Omaha, thence to
Chicago to purchase goods. 1t so hap
pened that simultaneous with his de-
parture a young lady named Minnie Hell
Ter, who was acting in the capacity of
h~ousekeeper at the European hotel, also
disappeared very mysteriously. 1t is
known that Golsten was friendly and
intimate with the girl and the strong
supposition here to-day is that the
two have fed together. What adds in
terest to the circumstance is the fact that
Golsten is married, having a wife and
two children, who remain TO mourn his
departure and his apparent infdelity.
Golsten's creditors, learning Of his alb
sence, and acting on the supposition that
he will not return, have secured sttach-
ments on his stock Of goods, and have
closed his store. The first attachment
was issued in favor of J. V. N. Biles, on
a debt Of $45, he taking sufficient goods
to secure the claim, and turning them
over to the sheriff. Next his father-in-
law, Mr.. Nelson, who held a mot.age for
5000. got out al attachment. Other
claims to be secured are those Of the
Roberts Notion company, of Omaha, for
S425; the Fitzpatrick Koch company, of
Omaha, for 81, 425. The total amount of
goods in the store is estimated at 81, 900.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jane 6.-The nom
partisan prohibitory convention. which
has been advertised for some weeks, met
in this city yesterday afternoon. The
out of town attendance was not 80 large
as expected, though numbering about
300. The attendance from this city was
quite large, and with the exception of a
little jangling with the third party pro-
h~Ibltionists, who wanted to run things,
the entire convention was harmonious.
The chief difficulty occurred over the
adoption of a name for the organization.
IT was proposed to call ii the Nebraska
Non-Partisan Prohibitory Amendment
league. The third party people proposed
TO strike out the words non.partisan and
change p%rohibitory to prohibition, which
they seemed to think would put them on
top. A few threatened a bolt in case
these changes were not made. Good
judgment prevailed however, and the
non-partisan name was adopted. The
plan OF the campaign proposed is a state
league and auxiliary leagues in each
county, with instru ctions 10 put branches
in each school district. There was not
many what might be called old wheel
horse politicians in the convention. In
the evening the convention was addressed
by Hon. b. +. Wright, Of Iowa; Hon. G..
j. Holt, Of Illinois, and others.

Brotherhood Matters.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The Evening Jour
nal says: There is trouble in the ranks
OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-.
gineers. Chief Arthur is a candidate for
reelection, and as such has been making
quite a canvass Of the various lodges O
the brotherhood. Last week a secret
meeting for this purpose was held in this
city. There were upwards Of 1900
members present, representing lodges in
illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and
wisconsin, and with their defeat by
the 20 ~momentarily expected, the re-
duction OF wages on the Santa
re n the recent discharges by
the Alton OF q large number Of brother
men fresh in their minds, they
were not at all satisfied with the chiefs
optimistic speech. A member of the gen.
erai grievance committee, addressing
CHIEF Arthur, said: A reduction Of wages
IS expected to be made before long on a
OF western roads. Such action
we don't propose to accept, because we
believe 1t is justified. We therefore
desire to know whether. in the event Of
the reduction being ordered, despite our
opposition, you would sanction a striker
Chief Arthur did not like the question,
but saw there was no help for it and an
swered: Under no condition of cir
cumstances OF which / can conceive shall
/ ever sanction another strike" But,
broke in the questioner, suppose a
reduction of wages should occur on the
Union Pacific system, where the brother
hood is SO thoroughly equipped as to OBJ
tain the grantir- of everything asked
wouldn't you authorize q strike to resist
II without a moments hesitation?" Chief
Arthur replied: 'No, sir. I would not.
l rus and believe that no reduction of
wages is TO be made; but should there be,
and the men follow my advice, they will
accept the reduction. / shall never
sanction another" Chief Arthur stopped
and the meeting adjourned. Murmurs Of
discomfort have been heard ever since.
1t was known that the chief had a strong
dislike for strikes, but that his con-
was 30 extreme as his speech
i to be, was never dreamed of.

desired Beggs to be again brought before

for him. Dan Brewer, the DO.

against Cronin, testified that he made the

BoyCotted by Women.

FORT DODGE, a., June THE most
novel boycott ever attempted in the
United States was inaugurated here yes
terday by the wives Of several prominent
citizens against merchants to prevent
their holding any business relations with
any member Of the board Of aldermen.
The boycott is the result of the recent
action Of the aldermen in passing an
ordinance allowing cows TO run loose
throughout the city. The ban is placed
upon all branches of trade, and fully
two thirds Of the women of the city sol.
EMMY pledge themselves not TO buy a
cents worth from a grocer, dry goods
man, butcher, baker, or other merchan,
who violates their ironclad demand.
There is much excitement in consequence
of the city councils action, and an in,
dignstion meeting, to request the imme
date resignation Of the entire board OF
aldermen, is strongly agitated.

just Come to Light.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, June 10.-A 1913, 00C
bank robbery occurred in this city in
September which has just come to light.
During that month two men drove UP
in a buggy to the First National bank. Ii
was about neon and one man alighted,
and, entering the place, told the cashier,
who was alone that a man wanted to see
him outside. While the cashier was
gone the stranger went behind the coun-
ter and picked up bonds and money to
the value of $50, 900. The bank kept the
matter quiet with a view of recovering
the securities which it is learned today
they did last March. The bonds were
kahd2d over in Denver by a go%.between.
1t is not known what the bank paid. The
cash secured by the robber was small.
