CATTLE DISEASES.
Different Portions of Iowa Afflicted-Epi-
delnic and Contagious.

Different Portions of Iowa Athicted-Epi-
dernic and Contagious.
Dies MONIES, July 30.-The governor
has received information that a peculiar
disease has broken out in the vicinity If
Bennett. The first symptom of the dis
ease is noticed by a drying up of the
milk, which is followed by a stiffening
of the limbs, sore mouth and nose, with
the result that the animal is unable to
either eat or swallow, and death ensues.
A large number of COWS in the neigh
borhood are afflicted. The governor has
received another telegram concerning
the mysterious and fatal cattle disease
that is carrying off the bovines in Palo
Alto county in such large numbers.
Several days ago IN official statement of
the presence of the disease was filed
with the governor and he sent the dep
uty veterinary surgeon at Algona to in
vestigate. The spread of the disease
continues, however, and the governor
has now sent the state veterinarian,
Professor Stalker, to investigate. The
disease is epidemic and contagious and
is carrying off the animals in that part
of the state in large numbers.

Captain Saunders of the Whaleback
Wetmore Found Dead in His Bunk.
LONDON, July 3O.-Captain Saunders,
Of the new American "whaleback"
steamer Charles Wetmore, died sud-
denly at Liverpool. He was found ly-
ing in his booth when the officers of the
steamer entered his stateroom at an
early hour. The Charles Wetmore was
to have sailed for New York with a
cargo of machinery, but her departure
will now be postponed until a new cap
tain has been appointed. During her
stay in Liverpool the vessel has been
visited by many experts in the art Of
navigation and many thousands of
merely curious. She was especially de-
signed to carry large cargoes of freight
through the great lakes and across the
Atlantic, thus doing away with the ne
cessity for breaking bulk between Liv-
erpool and the Western cities situated
on the inland seas of America. Her
voyage from Duluth to Liverpool with a
consignment of 95, 700 bushels Of grain
was q successful one, and her officers
declared that in heavy seas the steamer
was much superior to the ordinary
freight bOats.

THE SOC,

Michigan Central Refuses to Honor 500
Tickets to the Detroit Reunion.
ST. PAUL, July 3O.-A bombshell has
exploded in the camp of the beligerent
500. 1t was carefully loaded, and being
touched off just at the present j%uncture,
places the 500 in a rather peculiar posi-
ton. The Michigan Central strikes the
blow at a time when it's effect is most
powerful. This line refuses to honor
tickets sold to the G. A. R. encamp1nent
at Detroit beginning Aug. 8, and states
that the 500 has no authority so far as
this road is concerned, to ticket the
veterans via the Michigan Central rail-
road. It further states that no
cars will be in waiting at Mack
inaw City to receive and transport
passengers holding tickets sold by
the 500 for the Detroit reunion. What
the 500 will do now is the question of
the hour in railway circles. Very nat
urally this fighting competitor of the
Chicago lines will turn to the Grand
Rapids and Indianapolis to honor the
tickets sold to Detroit. But it is said
that this line will refuse to enter a com
bination at this late day. In fact, the
situation indicates that the long pre-.
dicted boycott against the 500 has at
last been l~naugurated.

Chairman Hall, of the Chippewa Com
mission. Makes Some Suggestions.
WASHINGTON, July 80. - Chairman
Hall, of the Chippewa commission, who
was requested by the secretary of the
interior to report upon the payment of
the $3.50, 900 reservation fund to these
Indians, writes from the White Earth
agency to the secretary as follows. IF
you wish to contribute to the success of
this commission. so far as removing the
Indians to White Earth is concerned, it
cannot be done better than to
pay the reservoir damages in cash
after they had removed to the
White Earth agency and taken their
allotments. This would apply especially
to the Mile Laos band, who are now
making much trouble among the set
tiers, as they will receive nothing if the
payment is made in stock, implements,
etc. So also, in my opinion, it would
assist in removing the Leech Lake band
mostly to White Earth. I think this
was recommended by Agent SCHUYLER,
of this reservation, and I concur heartily
with him. Mr.. Rice, my predecessor,
promised this, Notwithstanding his later
recommendations"

FARM MORTGAGES.
The Census Ofico Figures the Incum-
brances at Two and = HALF Billions.

The Census Once Figures the Inoum-
brances at Two and = Half Billions.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The count Of
the farm and home transcripts made in
accordance with the mortgage collec-
ton clause Of the census act has been
completed by the Office. The figures
r subject to slight notifications.
There were returned by the enumer-
ators 2,49l $3.50 farms and homes occupied
by owners which are incumbered by
mortgages. This number includes some
farms and homes about which the enum.
orators made no report, and which be-
long partly to the class of hired and
partly to the class of owned free, az
we'll as partly to the class of owned and
lncumbered. Until this unknown
quantity, due to the failure of the en-
umerators, is eliminated, it may be
regarded as approximately true that
$3.50, 900 families of the II, 800, 900 fam
lilies of the United States occupy and
rwn unincumbered homes and farms,
ID that 10,250, 900 families occupy
farms aud homes that are either hired
or owned free.
The proportions of hired and owned
free homes will be known when the
population division completes the count
OF the returns pertaining to them. The
preliminary results indicate that the
average debt for a farm in Iowa is ST.
e93; home, S119: average for farm and
home, $1,140. If these averages hold
good for the Union the incumbrance on
the farms and homes of the United
States occupied by owners is about ST.
$685. 600, 900.

WASHINGTON, July Sit is given out

Secretary Noble was in the hands of the
president three weeks ago. The secre-

action upon his resignation. When the
secretary went away on his extended
trip to the Hot Springs it "a thought

if the announcement of the acceptance
of his resignation should be made any
day, and the appointment of his success

Tunnel Near Portland, Ore.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 81. Engineer
Jack ROCKFORD Of the through express
southbound met death in an unusual
name in tunnel IA, sixteen miles
south of Ashland. Two engines are re-
quired to take the train over the Sikh
yos. ROCKFORD had the front engine.
When the train was nearly through the
tunnel the coupling between the express
cars broke. Twenty minutes were
consumed in making a new coupling.
The smoke and gas from the second en-
CINE blew directly into the cab of the
one ahead, ~suffocating the engineer and
fireman. 1t was decided to back out of
the tunnel, and when the train stopped
outside the engineer and fireman of the
front engine were missing. Search re-
vealed the engineer lying dead by the
track, with his left arm cut off by the
engine. Fireman Fitzpatrick was lying
unconscious by the track, but revived
half an hour later on. Both got off the
engine to escape sufocation and were

the ground. ROCKFORD fell with his
arm across the track and bled to death.

Arrangements Made for Shipping Neg
rqes to Liberia. .
WASHINGTON. Aug. "a movement
of considerable magnitude is now on
foot to arrange for the deportation of
the negroes of the Southern States to
Liberia. Captain John Murray and Mr..
w. B. Lewis, representing Elder,
Dempster & Co., Of Liverpool, owners
of an Important line of steamships have
been at Chamberlain's for some days in
consultation with Mr.. Benjamin Gas
ton, the authorized agent of the Libe-
lian Emigration company. The nego-
tiations between them have been car
ried to a successful point and an agree
ment has been reached whereby a feet
will be ut the disposal of the colored-
people. Ships will sail at frequent in
tervals from Southern ports direct to-
the African coast, and it is believed the
first contingent will be ready to start
out inside of two months. One the
company's vessels is now at Baltimore.
Captain Murray talks enthusiastically
of the good to accrue to the negroes by
immigration to Liberia. !.

RECIPROCITY GOES.

A Commercial Alliance Agreed Upon
Between GRANGE and Russia.
LONDON, Aug. lit is understood
that the term, of q commercial alliance
have been practically agreed upon be-
tween France and Russia whereby each
country will give preference to the
product of the other. AS Russia. in years
of favorable harvest, is largely a food
exporting country, this arrangement
will initiate against the United States
rather than England. although British
manufacturers receive a severe blow
from the new French tariff, as it is. In
return for French concessions, Russia
will, it Is said, give preference to French
manufactures, while maintaining a
stringent tariff for imports from other
countries. The advantage thus given to
France enhances enormously the value
Of Russian alliance, irrespective of n
motive of hostility toward Germany.

CHARLESTON, Aug. IA Farmers
Alliance store in Spartanburg county
failed some time ago, and although the
store was run under the auspices of the
county Alliance when the failure came
the Alliance disclaimed all responsibility
holding that it lay with the managers
personally. The creditors, Allmett,
Nixon & Goldsbrough, of Baltimore,
finding they could not collect the debts,
have entered suit in the United States
court for 81, 1925. The defendants named
in the complaint are 8. T. y. Lancaster,
H. E. Williams, Alfred Harris, R. M.
Smith, Moses Wood, L. R. Padgett, N.
F. Walker, George 3. Dean and Will
lam Zimmerman, doing business under
the firm name of the Farmers Alliance
of Spartanburg county. The complaint
alleges that plaintiffs sold merchandise
to the amount of 81, 1876, but only 81
bill had been paid. The plaintiffs ask
for a judgment of So 1926. No answer
has yet been filed. 1t is expected that
the case will come up soon. It is n
of the first OF its kind ever had in the
country and the decision will probably
define the liabilities of Alliance organ

Regarding the Catholic Bureau.

WASHINGTON, July 81. - Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, had a long and
pleasant interview with Commissioner
Morgan in regard to the late controversy
between the commissioner and the
board Of Catholic Indian missions. The
archbishop expressed himself as salts
fed with the commissioners plan of
contracting direct with the Catholic
schools for the education of the Indians.
The commissioner assured the arch
bishop that no discrimination would be
made against Catholic schools during
his administration and that they would
receive q large increase in the app1opri-
alton for those institutions.

GIBBONS INTERVIEWED.
h Baltimore Cardinal Has Something
to Say ON the Subject.

The Baltimore Cardinal Has Something
to Say ON the Subject.
BALTIMORE, July 9l.-A reporter of
The Sun called on his eminence, Car
dinal Gibbons, in relation to the con-
troversy between the bureau of Catholic
Indian miss ons and the commissioner of
Indian affairs. The cardinal said: ri
have given the subject Of the Catholic
Indian bureau in its relations to the in
terror department much anxious thought
during the last two weeks and have
taken all the information hat could be
obtained from the best and most relia-
BILE sources. MI. Morgan has thought
it advisable for the more effective ex-
pediting OF business in his department
to have all contracts for schools signed
by the several superintendent of such
schools rather than by the director Of
the Catholic bureau as heret ofore prac-
ticed. l do not see how this change
can in any n affect the real in
terest of the Indians, anu therefore it is
q point which should not disturb us.
The bureau of Catholic Indian missions
is still in a position to labor in many
fields Of usefulness. In fact the signing
OF contracts was not originally COM
prised in the scope of it's work. At my
request and in obedience to his own
hearty sympathy for the Indians, the
archbishop Of st. Paul paid a visit to
Mr.. Morgan. The commissioner re-
ceived him most kindly and gave him
ample and positive assurances of his
disposition and intention to treat the
Catholic Indian schools with equity and
generosity.
DIR. Morgan Promised
that all of last years contracts shall be
continued and furthermore in view of
new applications recently made to him,
he is, he said, appropriating an addi-
tional sum of $40, O0O over ana above
the amounts heretofore assigned, for
the support Of Catholic Indian schools.
Archbishop Ireland is personally salts
he'd that Mr.. Morgan's assurances will be
carried out, and is delighted with the
result OF his interview. I have every
reason to believe that the president and
secretary of the interior are kindly dis
posed toward the Catholic Indian
schools. Indeed on this point l speak
advisedly. There can be no doubt but
what they will treat these schools in a
just manner. We should remember
that men in high places have conflicting
interests to subserve, and they are re.
quired to consider the views and de-
mands not of a section of the com
munity, but OF the entire people.
Catholics have many reasons to thank
God for the blessings they enjoy as
citizens OF the United States. 1t is but
just to say, in conclusion, that the
bureau of Catholic Indian missions has
never obtained for itself or for any one
of its employees one cent Of the govern
ment money. The checks it has been
receiving from the treasury of the
United States were Immediately in
dorsed over to the superintendent of
the respective schools. Its w ex-
penses have been entirely betrayed by
private contributions"
