1T AFFECTS THE MILK.
Nature or tho Disease Among Council
Bluffs Cattle.


A disease which appears to be sort Of
contagious opthamia prevails among the cat
tie in Council Bluffs especially among the
cows belonging to private citizens and pas
tured in the bottoms. The disease is rapidly
conveyed from one 10 another when assoc-
ated In punches, and the cows are rapidly be-
coming blind In one or both eyes. The ami
mails recover very slowly unless properly
treated in the early stages.
DIR. Ramacciotti was seen and asked II, In
his opinion, the milk given by those cows was
fit for consumption. He stated the disease
would affect the milk indirectly, as II would
tend to stop the secretions and render the
milk more or less unhealthy. He expressed
the opinion that the animals would event
ually recover with proper treatment, but
thought they should be separated from the
other cows, as the disease spreads very
rapidly
1t was learned that only two milk wagons
come to this city from the Bluffs. The
names of the proprietors could not be
learndh, and 1t Is not known whether or not
their cattle are affected
DR.. Ramacciotti was of the opinion that
the cows affected were family cows owned
by individuals and that none of them were
te property of milkmen. He also stated
that no trace Of the disease had appeared in
this city, and he anticipated no trouble on
that score. He said that the disease had
undoubtedly originated among range cattle
which had been brought from the range and
were affected by the change in the atmos.

July 8, 1886. On that date the young
lady, then the daughter of II wealthy
merchant, had her foot crushed in n
carriage accident. Several bones had
to be removed and when the foot healed

with the nine toes came into possession
of her snare of property her first con-
sideration was with DR.. Taylor regard
ing the possible price, not pain, it
would cost to reduce her toes to
double quartette.
1t so happened that the case at the
time went on record as the only in
stance where the affliction had not ter
minated fatally, as traumatic tetanus or
lock-jaw resulted from the wound, and
the greatest skill was necessary to save
the life Of the patient. For nine days
she endured most excruciating palms,
that nothing but large doses of NOR
phine would allay. Lock-j jaw was mani
tested three days after the accident.
The body was bent so that the head and
heels almost touched and the jaws were
SO firmly set that a tooth had to be re-
moved through which aperture stimu-

All through the case the muscles of

horrible agony seems to have renamed

with the odd pair of feet is not only
willing to go through it again, but will

for the sake of having her feet mates,

An Interesting Case for lowa's RAIL-

Colored Masons-A Com
tamInated Stream.
Rurnl Rivalry.

DEs MoINBs, Ia, July 14.-TSpecial Tele-
gram TO THE BEE. There is a very anus
ing, and no doubt to the participants very
important little fight going on between two
littlo towns in southern Iowa, which the
railroad commissioners have been called
upon to decide. The two rival towns are
Knowlton and Diagonal, both on the line of
the Chicago. st. Paul & Kansas City rail-
road, though but one Of them, Knowlton, Is
station. AT Diagonal the Humeston &
Shenandoah road crosses the other, by an
overhead crossing. The people of that place
want the Kansas City road to establish a
station there, thinking that with the two
roads they will have q boom right away.
But the road stops at knowlton, mile and
q half away, and the company thinks there
is not business enough to justify the main
tenance of two stations so near together.
The people of Diagonal want the road to
make its station there and abandon Knowl-
ton. They have generously offered town
lots to Knowlton people IL they win give up
their hamlet and come over and live with
them. But neither town is willing
to surrender its grip upon the
future, and so the commissioners were
sent for. They went down last week and
had a great picnic. Each town had prepared
Fourth of July celebration in their honor,
and they were met ut the train by the local
dignitaries and given great reception. AT
Knowton, the meeting was held IN the
church, where local orators waxed eloquent
with praise Of the future greatness of the
place. Then came q big dinner for the Wis
ltors, and then everybody adjourned to the
rival, Diagonal. Here the exercises were
held in q grove, and substantially the same
programme was carried out. The commits.
sioners listened patiently to the oratory and
arguments and then took the case under
advsement and came away. The people Of
Diagonal urge that the railroad is obliged
to make station at their place, because it
is at the intersection of another roai, but
as the crossing is an overhead one and not
on grade, some raise the point that IL is not
the one contemplated in the law. The two
little towns, neither Of them much larger
than pint of cider, are waiting anxously
for tho decision of the commissioners on the
question which is to them of momentous in

SIOUX CITY, Ia, July 14.-[Special to THE
BEE. The interest in the contest for the
republican nomination for governor of Iowa
Is increasing here. There is in Sioux City
virtually no difference of opinion among the
politicians as to chice among the three can
didates who are contesuing for the nomina
tion. These candidates are Hon. H. G.
Wheeler, of Sac county; Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hull, of Polk county, and Senator
Hutchinson, of Wapello county. Lieutenant
Governor Hull has many personal friends
here, but they are disposed to discard his
claims for office this year. ihasmuch as he
has not drawn a breath out of Office in Iowa
from the day he returned home from one
years service in the army during the
civil war The unanimous disposition here
is to stand by the candidate of northwestern
Iowa, who is MIR. Wheeler. His county is
one of the extreme northwestern counties of
the state, which constitute the Eleventh con-
gressional district. This district has never
been allowed to name the republican candi-
date for governor. 1T has never been con-
ceded any of the prime honors of the party
in Iowa. And yet the party Is now forced to
depend upon the northwestern counties for
majority in the state. Outside OF them the
republican party is minority party In Iowa.
But for their republican strength
Larrabee would have been de-
feated in 1885, and again in 1887
These and similar facts have bound the re-
publicans of northwestern Iowa together in
common interest, aud this feeling is
stronger this year than ever before.
The entire northwestern quarter of the
state will 60 to the convention virtually solid
for Mr.. Wheeler, who will have, it is be-
lieved, much support from other sections of
the state. This county is the leading county
in this part of the state, being entitled to
twenty-five delegates, and it will be solid
aud distinctive Wheeler delegation. There
are only three other counties in Iowa having
so many delegates as this county.

The International Kiss.

Among the political and diplomatic
innovations of which Prince Bismarck
is the father, remarks Das Volk, the
most novel and most amusing is the
international kiss" says the Pail
Mall Gazette. When Bismarck and
Crispi met, the Prussian surprised
the Italian by giving him Il
hearty kiss. The poetry of kisses
is encyclopaedia, but German poet
has said that there are only three kisses
which come direct fsom heaven-the
kiss of u mother to her newborn babe,
the first kiss of two lovers, aud the last
kiss which is impressed upon the lips of
the dead. The -Bismarckian kiss has
not been anticipated by any OF the poets
and no precedent is to be found for it in
the rich literature of oscu'ation.
Many poet has looked upon secrecy
as one of the elements Of perfection in a
kiss. The new diplomatic kiss, how
ever, was ostentatiously public, and it
was supposed to be given by the whole
OF Germany to the whole OF Italy, and TO
pass from Berlin to the remotest cleo
toral districts in the valley of Apulia.
AS Bismarck is the glass of fashion To
SO many of our modern statesmen, we
may expect his diplomatic kiss 10 be
inflated When the shah arrives in
London, may we be present TO see the
kiss with which Lord Salisbury, as
premier of England, greets the highest
dignitary in the train OF the Asiatic
pOtentate.

LlNCOLN'S RELIGION.
He Had Deep Convictions But Fol-
lowed No Creed.

The forthcoming (August) number OF
the Century will contain chapter on
''Lincoln and the Churches" in the Lin
coin history, by Messrs. Hay and Nico-
lay, from which the following is an ex-
tract from advance sheets:
He was a nan OF profound and intense
religious feeling. We have no purpose
of attempting to formulate his creed;
we question if he himself ever did so.
There have been swift witnesses who,
judging from expressions uttered in his
callow youth, have called him an athe-
list, and others who, with the most laud-
able intentions, have remembered inn
BILE conversations which they bring
forward to prove at once his orth odoxy
and their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal evil
dences, we have only to look at his
authentic public and private utterances
to see how deep and strong in all the
latter part of his life was the current of
his religious thought and emotion. He
continually invited and appreciated, aG
their highest value, the prayers of good
people. The pressure of the tremend-
GUS problems by which he was
surrounded; the awful moral sig
niticance OF the con iict in which he was
the chief combatant; the overwhelming
sense of personal responsibility, which
never left him for an hour-all con-
tributed to produce, in "a temperament
naturally serious and predisposed to a
spiritual view of life and conduct, u
sense of revcrent acceptance of the
guidance of Superior Power. From
that morning, when, standing amid the
falling snowilakes on the railway car at
Springfield, he asked the prayers Of his
neighbors in those touching phrases
whose echo rose that night in invoca-
tions from thousands of family altars,
to that memorable hour when on
the steps Of tho capitol no
humbled himself before his Creator in
the sublime words of the second m
augural, there is not an expression
known to have come from his lips or his
pen but proves that he held himself an
swerable in every act of his career to a
more august tribunal than any ON
earth. The fact that he was not a COM
municaut of any church, and that he
was Singnlarly reserved in regard to his
personal religious life, gives only the
greater force to these striking proofs of
his profound reverence and faith.
