TEXAS FEVER.
1t Makes Its Appearance on Governor Cooper's
Ranch In Colorado-Iittls Cause
for Apprehension.
srecial to the Gazette.

DENVER, Cot. Aug. 9.-'It is surely Texas
fever" said Veterinary Surgeon Lamb who had
Just returned from Governor c. o Jer's ranch
in Morgan county. where TWEEN. y-two cat
tie had died on Monday and several since.
He was at first loath to believe
that the disease was Texas fever, but the
swolIeL spleen and other evidence convinced
him. He cou Id learn no cause for the breaking
out OF the plague. Mr.. Charles Colwell, man.
ager of the governors ranch. could himself as
sign no reason. The ranch is situated about Eve
miles from the railroad and the railroad is fenced
in. The range where the herd is accustomed 10
pasture does not touch the road. In conse-
Quence the cattle could not have become in
fected from the passing shipment of Texas
cattle Last May the Brush cattle company
got in 1000 head from Texas. The herd
had been duly guaranteed. They were turned
loose on the range and mixed Unfortunately
with Governor Cooper's herd. Mr.. Colgell
found it impossible to keep them apart, but no
infection had been communicated from
them, the fever would probably have made
its appearance soon after the coming of the
long horns. The surgeon does not anticipate n
spread of the disease and thinks there is little
cause for apprehension. There was Just such
scare as ihe present one about this time
last year which ended in smoke. The disease
so far is confined to Governor Cooper's herd.
When DR.. Lamb left the ranch only three or
four head were sick, and they seemed only
slightly tainted with the disease. There are
country, viz: the Pawnee cattle company and
the Brush cattle coinpauy's herd. In none OF
them have the least symptoms OF the disease
appeared. The cattlemen of Denver are con-
siderably agitated over the appearance OF the
fever,

The End was Pence,

-
They had lived apart for twenty years
Both being OF Stubborn cast
But time had ried up their angry tears
And brought them to terms, at last.
She acknowledged she'd been a horrid thing
He admitted he'd been brute;
And Just as they vowed through life to cling
They touched on the old dispute.
''You did!" said She 81 didn'tIp said he,
And rising, he opened the door. :,
"I've maintained it ior twenty years" SAID
she.
"Wen, maintain 1t for twenty more"
And so grievance that n xt the heart
They had guarded with jealous fears
A trife-drove them once more apart
For another twenty years.
They came together at last. I'm told,
But not to dispute nor rage
For neither could hear the other scold,
As they both were deaf with age.

ELECTIVE COMMISSION 1D1ocY.

ELECTIVE COMMISSION LDTOCY.
Let who will be governor, the railway
commiss ion should be appointive and not
elective. II that is Gen. Hogg's idea,
then he is right. If he contends that
the members of the board should be
named by the governor instead of being
elected by the people, he does SO because
the principle is right, and not because
he as governor may have the appointing
Of them. We don't care what an AL
lance paper in Alabama, as quoted by
the Waco Day, says about the "horri-
bic failure" of an appoiutive commits
sion. There are papers and orators that
tell us Christianity is failure
and the Bible an old wife's story; and
it is even intimated if not boldly asserted
by few reckless Republicans that
Cleveland was a failure as president.
Life is too short to attend to the whims
and follies Of cranks. Common sense
ought to teach child that an executive
board like q railway commission should
be appointed, and not made the play
thing before the people, of the dema-
gogue and che shyster politician. Who
ever heard of commissions being elected
by people who really wanted a COM
mission? OF all the idiooy paraded by
the ants during the present campaign,
this of an elective commission is the most
outlandish and grotesque.

MERCANTILE circles in the North are
beginning to realize the danger to their
business involved in the passage OF a
force bill, and those in New York have
very properly taken the initiative In
preparing petition to congress IN oppo-
sition to the bill. They see that it Is
nothing but political dodge, mean
and inscriptions party trick that u
calculated to do infinite damage TO the
commercial interests involved, and that
1t should therefore be overwhelmed with
public condemnation, as it will be.

svooped ,Enn In.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. ga horde
of constables swooped down upon the
"original PACKAGE houses of Des
Moines to-day and seized the stock of
each of them. This action Is the result I
of the passage of the Wilson bill, VIII ic h
the president made operative by his sig
nature Yesterday. Dealers had sntici-
pated a movement of TINS kind and
their places were found encountered by
very light stocks. A great deal of liti-
cation will grow out of these seizures,
as the best lawyers contend that the
Iowa law bearing upon importations
was set aside by the Federal courts de-
cision Ia original package case.

as many guesses as desired). The en-
velopes are preserved as evidence of the

there may be tie, and the award will
be made TO the party whose guess was
first received.
