CATTLE DYING OF FEVER.
Over One Thousand Perish In KAN

sas.
WICHITA, Kan, August 3.-Texas fever
is spreading with alarming rapidity among
the cattle in Butler and Elk counties
Some weeks ago about fifty thousand cat
tie were taken to these two counties and
represented to be from Arizona. An in
vestigation has shown that they were
brought from the pan handle and Greer
county, Texas, and this fact has greatly
enraged the owners of native cattle. Two
men were killed two days ago in a dispute
over the matter, and more bloodshed is
almost certain. So far about one thousand
head of cattle have died.

Everything I'm Readiness for the Exc

Beginning August 1-Only Two Re
pOrters TO be Admittcd-The Com
demned Man i'm Good Spirits.
AUBURN, N. ", Aug. 3.-No invitations
have been issued yet to the witnesses who
are to attend the execution by electricity
of Kemmler, the murderer, and so there
can be no certainty about the date of exc
cution, except that it will be later than
Tuesday. The law requires that three
days notice shall be given the witnesses.
There are indications that the invitations
will be issued tomorrow. and that the ex-
ecution will take place Thursday. All sto-
ries concerning the possibility of postpone
ment on account of the mental condition
of the condemned man, possible in
junction to be got out against the warden,
are of doubtful origin. Warden Durston
returned from New York city this morn
ing. On the train with him were reporters
from half dozen of the New York city
papers, hut he vouchsafes no information
to any of them. He denied himself to Wis
itors to-day. 1t is believed that the dynamo
is in working order, and that there is no
probability-hardly a possibility-that the
execution Will not take place TINS week.
The chief local interest in the event is
taken by the swarm of reporters who have
come here to pick up what information is
obtainable when it is over. The warden
| may admit two persons connected with the
press associations to witness the execution.
| They will go in as members of the jury.
But none of the special representatives of
individual newspapers will be admitted to
the jail on that day. One New York eve
ming paper has platform twenty feet
from the ground on telegraph pole, di-
| rectly across from the prison. A long dis
lance telephone wire will connect the
watcher on the pole with the Office of his
paper in New York. He can see
nothing though, except the bare walls OF
! prison. The Western Union company will
| open~Hp office in the freight building OF
| New York Central and Hudson River rail
road directly opposite the prison on the
morning of the day fixed for the execu.
| ton.
Kemmler spent the day quietly, finding
his chief amusement in listening to the
performance of his fellow criminal, Fish,
the condemned murderer, who occupies
the cell next to him. Fish is an expert
| banjo player, and he is allowed to keep the
instrument in his cell and to play on it al
his will. Kemmler appeared to be in good

THE new election law has been tried
and, in all its essential features, it has
met the expectations of the people and
has their approval. That some changes
can be made that will tend TO perfect
and simplify the law there can he no
doubt. The tedious way of counting
the ballots should be done away with
The people do not like to wait until the
day following the election before re-
ceiving reports, and the necessity for an
all-night's sitting of the election board
should be remedied.

THE ELECTION.

Returns come In so slowly that it is
impossible at this writing to even APP
proximate the result, but enough is ut
hand to make these facts clear; The
House of Representatives of the fifty
second congress will be Democratic;
Michigan elects Democratic governor
and seven of the eleven congressman
ODonnell i'm the third, Burrows i'm the
fourth. CutcheOn i'm the ninth and
Stephenson in the eleventh districts be-
ing reelected, but all of them by re-
duced majorities. The Michigan legis-
lature is Republican by small major
ity. This county, grand old Van Blu.
rem, stands firm as rock between the
attacks of the united opposition and
Democratic success and, not for the
first time, saves the district for the Re-
publicans Mr.. Burrows plurality in
this county is 1856, and in the district
about 400.
In New York the Democrats gain five
congressman, but present appearances
indicate a tie on joint ballot in the state
legislature, which is to elect United
States senator
From Ohio, we learn that the Repub-
licans lose eight congressman, among
whom is Maj. Mckinley.
In Illinois the contest was so close
that both sides claim victory, but
every indication points to Republican
loss of three congressman. Cannon, in
the 10Th dist, against whom terrific
fight was made, is reelected
Pennsylvania probably elects Demo
cratic governor and that party gain two
congressman.
Minnesota re-elects Gov. Merriman
(rep.) by reduced majority, and Re-
publican state legislature.
Massachusetts elects Russell (dem. J
governor by about 5000 majority, and
the Democrats gain two congressman.
Colorado elects a Republican gov
ernor, but the balance of the state tick
ct is divided. The state Legislature is
in doubt.
The result is anything but pleasant
for Republicans to contemplate, and
the only ray of sunshine that creeps
through the sombre cloud is the hope
and belief that the Democratic MAORI
ty in the House will be true to their
traditions and give the country such
unsatisfactory legislation as will send
them back to their homes at the close
of the congress to which they are
elected
Following are the unofficial figures
of Tuesdays election, so far as received
at this Office at the hour of going to
press. We believe the official canvass
will not materially change any of them.
OF the state ticket we only give the
vote on Governor, as that was the only
one liable to much fluctuation.
The vote in the several townships is
given, Republican first, them Demo
cratic, Patrons of Industry and Prohi-
ton in order. We have been unable to
get the vote of Antwerp, Hamilton and
Pine Grove townships, neither have we
time to make footings or summary:
