Stiff pressure by Texas politicians upon that
venerable relic Of JEFF Davis's Cabinet, John
ii. Reagan, has induced him to step down and
out Of the Senate aud take 4 more lowly posi-
ton on the Texas Railroad Commission. The
pressure came IN very wcll-defned shape and
was stated with frankness, thus: We want your
place FOR another man, Senator Reagan, and are
going TO have il. If you serve until the end Of
your term, which is about 90 months we shall
defeat You for reelection. If you will resign
now you shall have the Chairmanship Of the
Railroad Commission for a term Of five years.

Abortion.

Ed. TELEGRAPH COURIER: How
to prevent and how to cure abortion
is difficult problem for the dairy
man. There are, doubtless, many
yet unapprehended conditions in
foods, care, water, and the elements
of soils that have a greater or less
degree of influence in preventing or
promoting the appearance of this
disease.
Two prominent dairymen here,
Messrs. Chas. L. Marsh and R. y.
Waldo have both suffered severe
losses from abortion in their herds.
AS a cure and preventive they are
now giving their COWS, daily, small
doses of bone meal with a little sui
phur. The condition of the cows
when they come fresh again next
fall may give evidence of favorable
results of this treatment.
Hon. R. S. Houston the most ia
nous dairyman of this county has,
for some time, given his cows regular
doses of bone meal and sulphur and
so far has never had a case Of abor-
ton in his herd of sixty COWS. In

BRIGHTON, March 2I, 1891

BRIGHTON, March 2I, 1891.
EdJtoy Te1GgrqPh- Courier:
The good people of Brighton were
greatly disappointed to-day in the
Kenosha bird. 1t had been an
nounced in the bulletins that a
matched game would be fought to-
day at the cockpit in the town eff
Brighton by the Kenosha and Salem
bully banties. Brighton bet high on
the Kenosha bird, while Salem bet
on the Salem bird. At the appoint
ed time the Salem bird was on hand
with host of hackers ready for the
FRAY, but the Kenosha bird failed to
come to time, consequently the ref
cree decided that the Salem bird had
won the pot, whereupon shout
went up from the Saiemites. Fifteen
minutes later the Kenosha bird put
in an appearance and attempted to
crow, but his effort was so feeble
that his hackers concluded that their
bird was sick and asked the referee
to reconsider. The referee refused.
The Brightonites then raised anoth
er stake which the Salemites covered
and the birds were brought into the
pit and made their pointers. The
Kenosha bird made a false motion,
when the Salem bird made jump
and struck him between the wind
and gizzard, which sent him rolling
out of the ring, where he lay with his
claws skyward painting for breath
He was picked up for dead and con
veyed Immediately to the depot and
shipped to Kenosha the same day.
The Brighton men claim that
their bird met with foz0I play on the
road and in the ring, that he was ex-
cessively c0rned yesterday in Keno
sha, that his rest was broken by his
friend last night at Screenings Park,
thatDhe had nothing but the distilla
ton of corn for his breakfast this
morning, and that he was generally
out of sorts and not in condition to
win any money to-day. The Keno
sha bird had better stay in his coop,
as it is exceedingly unhealthy for
him in the country.
Yours truly,
A SPECTATOR.

this case the bone meal and sulphur
may have proved a prophylactic, but
that IS not proven.
In my own herd Of thirty cows
have never had a case Of abortion
and have never given a cow dose
Of bone meal OF sulphur. There are
other small herds in which the dis
ease has never appeared and the
owners of which have never even
thought Of bone meal and sulphur.
The Messrs. Waldo 4 Marsh have
never overstocked with COWS. Both
gentlemen keep and handle quite
flock of sheep and a considerable
number of fat hogs are turned off
each year. In what degree contact,
sympathy and infection are factors
in this disease, would seem to be
difficult to determine. In both the
herds mentioned, although none of
the cows were isolated, one in four
of the COWS escaped the disease.
A comparison of each dairyman's
method of feeding and handling his
COWS, might possibly throw some
light upon some of the causes that
influence the breaking out of this
disease. For one, | should be will
ing to give at some future time my
method of feeding and handling
COWS, for comparison with the ways
of others, provided the editor thinks
it would be of sufficient interest.

This community was shocked
Thursday morning by the announce
ment that Mrs. Ferdinand Richter
had committed suicide by drowning
in the Fox river early that morning.
Searching parties Immediately pro-
cured boats and about 10 O'Clock
the lifeless body was found.
Mrs. Richter, evidently laboring
under a temporary fit of insanity,
was last seen alive about 9 o'clock
on Wednesday evening, when the
family retired for the night. About
6:3o the next morning Mr.. Richter
first missed his wife, and Immediate
ly commenced search for her. He
found tracks in the little snow on
the ground and followed them to
the bank of the river, where they
ended. The tracks were partly
frozen over showing that Mrs. Rich
ter must have left the house be-
tween II and 8 o'clock. 1t was then
quite plain that she had taken her
own life by drowning.
Mr.. Richter alarmed some of the
neighbors and after searching the
river for short time the body was
discovered by Herman Valid and
Albert Zebler, some 80 or 40 rods
below where the tracks led to the
river. Another boat was hailed and
the body taken into this boat and
to the shore, from where it was car
ried to the house
Justice Denniston Immediately
summoned jury and held an in
quest the testimony given being sub
stantially as above, and the jury re-
turned a verdict Of suicide by drown
ing. No cause can be assigned for
the act.
Mrs. Amelia Richter was Al years
and 4 months of age, and was the
mother Of ten children, nine of whom
with the husband, survive her. The
funeral will be held from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Richter this afternoon,

LONDON, April i.-on top of the sc-
count OF the recent horrible massacre
by the HoyS governors OF Nosaye,
Madagascar. comes another story
illustrating the ferocity of those peo-
pie, who are nominaliy under French
protection. lt appears teat Ran
nlsllofo, governor Of Aahanoro, had
an unfortunate native tortured IN the
most horrible manner because he re-
fused 10 obey him. The victim was
bound 10 pole and IN that position
paraded through the village for two
whole DAYS When freed from
the pole he was placed IN a
sort of coffin, followed from
the trunk of tree and covered with \
plank, IN which there was nothing but
4 small hole of about inches for the
victims mouth and nose. The un-
fortunate native Was kept screwed
down IN this coffin not less than two
months and actually lived during that
time. lie was fed through the aper-
ture, his relatives being permitted 10
give him food. At length, upon the
payment of 100 plasters, the Governor
allowed the man 10 he released. In ad-
dltlon TO these brutalities, the Hoyas
are everywhere aggressive against the
French, and Europeans are not sale,
even at the port OF Tamatave. The
question whether France will enforce
It's claim OF authority over the island IS
becoming an important one To other
nations that have commercial interests

CAPTURE OF FORT THABET.

CALCUTTA, April 4.-Later advices
concerning the capture OF Port Thabet,
which is distant twelve miles from
Manipur, the scene of the recent massa-
ere of British troops by the natives,
state that the British force which
carried the fort by storm numbered
only eighty Indian soldiers, under the
command of Lieutenant Grant. The
garrison OF Fort Thabet consisted OF
800 ManipurIs, but so fierce was
the British onslaught that
the natives fled from behind their for
tihcations in panic. Re-enforcenents
have been hurried forward To the sup
port of Lieutenant Grant. but great
anxiety is felt lest the Manipurls rally
and attack the British IN full force
before Lieutenant Grant receives as
slstance.
Dispatches from Rangoon, the cap
ital OF British Burman, say that a re-
port has been brought there by natives
that Chief Commissioner Quinton and
