The Horse Disease.
Ohio Farmer.

The past winter has been the worst for
certain diseases of horses-as scratches,
grease peel, grapes edematous swelling of
the legs, etc-that we have experienced
for the last twenty years. These troubles
are all aggravated by mud and sloppy
roads. Even animals that were turned to
pastare did not escape The pasture field
was not the calse, but standing and tramp
ing in the barn-yard among the sour,
urine-mixed slush. We are now on the
verge Of fine weather, and have been living
in expectation Of getting over all this, but
different calamity has overtaken us in an
epizootic form, namely, influenza. For
the last two weeks several horses in the
city have become seriously affected and
several have died. The symptoms are a
thick, hacking dry cough, stock in the
legs, and braced forward with no inclina-
ton to eat or move. The lungs being the
seat of the disease, low rale is heard,
and hard puisating action of the heart is
felt by placing the palm Of the hand on the
ribs. Few run at the nose, as usual in
such cases, indicating clearly that such an
attack is not the result of cold. Those
that have died have shown inhamed lungs
with the thoracic cavity filed with album
isons matter, which was the cause of pro-
ducing the rale so prominent in life. In
breeding stock, abortion follows, which
keeps us on the anxious seat as to precau-
airy measures. On first observation the
disease give five drops OF tincture of
aconite in tablespoonful of water every
two hours. Feed scalded oats and coarse
bran only, three times a day, with little
hay. Give little walking exercise.

THE DIRIGo HoTEL.-In another
column will be seen an advertise
ment of the Dirigo Hotel at Glen
brook, Lake Tahoe, of which
Frank Jefferson is the proprietor.
There is not place on the Lake
where one can get more whole
some food, cleaner rooms, better
beds or closer attention to your
wants The hotel is situated on
high ground but five minutes
walk from the wharf, where the
sewerage is perfect, and grand
view of the Lake can be obtained.
Hammocks are swung in the shade
of the tall pines, and a spacious
lawn is growing around the prem
ises, squared off by fine gravel
walks. The culinary department
is under the direct supervision of
Franks sister, who spares moth
ing in her efforts to please the
guests and makes everybody feel
at home inside of fifteen minutes.
She is doubly able to administer
to guests whether they be sick or
healthy. Everything gives the
best of satisfaction, though the
rates charged by Mr.. Jefferson oc-
casion considerable comment, as
they don't appear to be high
enough to give the proprietor any
margin for profit. 1t is cheaper
to stay there than live at home,
and you will be just as well salts
fed.

A BROKEN DAM.
VIM. PRICE RUINED EY A
gURSTED RESERVOIR.
How the Flood Came Down
the Ravine.

the NaVinS-
On Sunday afternoon at about
quarter Of o'clock, Prices res
ervoir at the foot of Slide Mount
ain burst, and the water rushing
down the canyon submerged the
V. & 7. track at Franktown, caus-
ing a delay of the passenger
train, which returned to Carson
for the night.
SCENE OF THE BREAK.
Slide Mountain takes its name
from the fact that some years ago
about half the mountain caved
away and fell into the valley.
The land ide occurred n the
night, and it was believed that a
band of Mormon enligrants camp
ing at the foot of the mountain
were buried in the debris, but the
story has never been authenti-
Gated.
The CONFUSION Of nature left a
hollow place that was utilized by
W. E. Price as a site for water
storage. He turned 4 mountain
stream into the depression and
damned the lower end.
This gave him a lake three
miles long, half a mile wide and
seventy-five feet deep. Below
this he made another reservoir
covering about five acres of land,
with the water fifteen feet deep.
These two reservoirs are situat-
ed about three miles from the V.
& T. r. r. track at an elevation
of about two thousand feet.
Leading from the reservoirs is
ravine through which a fiume
runs. The f1une was used for
fiuming ice and water from the
reservoirs. Mr.. Prices is at the
foot OF the f1ume and here are his
barnes, residence and ice houses.
The improvements and reservoirs
are valued at $4,000.
A FEARFUL SIGHT.
Some of Prices men were in
the ravine at work on the flume,
when they heard a roar like a
train of cars coming. AS they
looked up the ravine they saw a
wall of water thirty feet high and
one hundred feet across, coming
down the ravine. From base to
crest it was as white as marble,
and at the summit it carried
Dad of logs and boulders.
As the ends dashed and writhed
against the sides of the narrow
ravine it licked up everything In
its path. Fallen tress, under
brush and rocks were sucked into
the swirl, and above all was a
roar that shook the earth.
A RACE FOR LIFE.
There were three men in the
raviDe at point were the sides
were too steep to climb, and the
only means of escape were down
the path about three hundred
yards.
The instant the wall of water
flashed in sight at the turn of the
ravine they dropped everything
and fed down the rocky path.
The water was several hundred
yards away but gaining at fear
fnl pace. There was a narrow
point in its path where the rocks
jutted out from the sides. Here it
paused for a few seconds as the
accumulation of logs and bould-
ers were caught in the jam, but
weight of water piled up behind
soon amounted to thousands Of
tons, and with a crash the tempo
rary obstruction fell away and the
water cleared a hundred feet at
one leap.
The three men who were just |
ahead were nephews of Price, and |
they think that this temporary
checking of the downward sweep |
II the food saved their lives.
They reached a spot where they

out of the house in time. The 70
of the ravine is about half mile
! from the house and the water
spi cad out as soon as it ceased to
be confined, spreading over about
twenty-five acres of land.
It swept away the barn, rose
above the lower floors of the house
went through the ice house and
then covered the railroad ira K
with debris for about five hundred
yards.
The down passenger train which
contained an extra quo'a of laflies
and children en- route to Reno to
attend some school exercises, was
delayed until nearly midnight when
all efforts to clear the track failed
and the train returned to Carson.
CLEARING THE TRACK.
When the news of the break
reached Carson, men were SCI t
down on a construction train to
clear the track. 1t was covered
with logs and boulders and the
water was flowing over it. In
about an hour the water stopped
and the men were able to work,
but suddenly there came anothsr
rush of drift wood, water and
boulders and covered the track
again. When the second rush
came, it was supposed that the
upper lake dam had broken.
The water subsidized and came
down again at intervals all light
and the men who were at work
about thirty, gave up exhausted
about three i'll the morning. There
was also gang OF twenty China
men higher up the creek cutting d
new channel to divert the torrent
by removing boulders, but did not
succeed and in the morning the
bouldeIs were blown out with
giant powder. This accomplished
the desired result and by noon the
track vas clear.
At the present time it is not
known for certain whether the big
reservoir is broken or only par
TALLY SO.
Big aves came down at inter-
walls but smaller than at first. The
place is inaccessible except by the
ravine and no ole dared go up.
The dam was neverregarded as
strongly constructed and Price has
always feared high water. The
water which escaped has flowed
into Washoe Lake and now m@n
are guarding the Washoe dam for
fear OF a break.
Several years ago dam broke
near the present one and nearly
wiped out Franktown.

There is reason to believe that Fun

WcStphalia Times.
Yes, reader, the postoffices (some of
them, at least,) were sold outright.
What do you think of it? Isn't this a
nice state of affairs! The offices,
which belong to the people, are dealt
out by politicians, to persons who
have no more principle than the poll
ticians who sold them. Now, we want
to ask you question: Have politi-
clans right to barter away the post
Offices--or offices of any kind?
Let us look at at this matter of the
Greeley postoffice. There was an old
soldier candidate for the Office, also an
other candidate in the person of SOL
dier's son. Did either one get office ?
No: but young, ignorant craven,
who was in his swaddling-clothes at
the time of the war, was appointed,
upon the payment of money.
Think of it. Study it over careful

Senator Ingalls, Disected.

DR.. j. w. Hutton writes:
The Rev. M. D. Shuttea, of Mime
apolis, Mimi, preached lengthy dis
course on the subject of subject ofNa-
tional Defense, in that city on July 6.
After giving an earnest plea for edu-
cation in the broader sense in which
it will prepare every man to defend
his country intelligently, the speaker
concludes as follows:
1t is wrong to use such means as
bribery, intimidation, or falsehood. 1
am aware that this sentiment is not in
harmony with those of some distin-
guished statesman, but I humbly ven-
ture to hold it, nevertheless.
One of the New York papers, not
long ago, published an interview with
a United States Senator, in which he
is reported to have said:
"The publications of politics is an
irresdescent dream. Government is
force. Politics is battle for suprem-
acy. Parties are the armies. The
decalogue and the golden rule have no
place in political campaign. The
object is success. To defeat the an
tagonist and expel the party IN power
is the purpose. The Republicans and
Democrats are irreconcilably opposed
to each other as was Grant and Lee in
the Wilderness. They use ballots in
stead of bullets, but the struggle is as
unrelenting and desperate and the re-
suit sought for, the same. In war it
is lawful to deceive the adversary, to
hire Hessians,to purchase mercenaries,
to mutilate, to kill, to destroy. The
commander who lost battle through
the activity of his moral nature, would
be the derision and jest of history.

ruption of politics is fatiguing in the
extreme. 1t proceeds from the tea

JAPANESE NEWS.

Russia Reported to Have Seized an Island
OFF the Coast of Corea-British War
Ships with Steam Up-Fifty-Nine People
Observation-Disclosures Election, Etc.
SAN Francisco, July 10.-The steam
ship Galicia, from Hong Kong, arrived
yesterday. The Japan mail contains a
report that Russia has seized an island
of the coast of Corea, and that the
British men-of-war Lelander and Sew
ern were under orders to keep up steam
and be ready to proceed to sea at a mo-
ment's notice if required.
BY the capsizing Of sailing vessel
which was being launched at Osaka,
Japan, on June Is, fifty-nine people out
of one hundred who were on board
were drowned. The bodies of fifty
have been recovered. About twenty
persons were more or less injured.
On June 23 the first election under
the new Japanese Constitution for the
House of Peers took place, some forty
four members being returned. Twenty
two of these are farmers by occupation,
fifteen are merchants and only one a
noble.
The Japan Gazette states that the
United States steamer Palos left Ma
gasaki June for Nensen, Corea, and
that it was probable that the United
States steamer Omaha would go on to
Corea from Kobe.
