THOSE TEXAS CATTLE.


PoECA, |. T., May IA, 1892.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Please allow me space in your paper
to correct an item that appeared in your
paper few days ago, in which l was
quoted as having said that there were
1000 dead cattle at Ponca and the rail-
road company was not taking care of
them properly.
Your correspondent was in error, as
said that there were about !, 200 dead.
Then he said that it must be a sweet
scented place, and / told him it was. l
meant no reflection upon the railroad
company or any of its officials, as they
have been untiring IN their efforts to
draw away and bury them.
These cate are started from Texas,
very weak on account of the drouth in
that country, and of course there are
some that are unable to stand the trip.
1t IS simply wonderful that there is no
greater per cent dead than there Is, as
there have been 125. 900 cattle unloaded
here this season. Kindly allow this
space and oblige respectfully yours.

The sudden and unexpected death.
Saturday morning, of Senator Barbour,
of Virginia, was almost an exact count
erpart of the demise of the late Secretary
Window, several months ago, at least in
Its suddenness and absence of visible
cause. Heart failure was undoubtedly
the immediate cause, but what produced
that condition is the perplexing question.
1t has grown to be a common thing for
men IN public life to pass away from
that cause; tometimes, it is claimed, the
effect of overwork; but this is not al
legged as the case with Senator Harbour.
Our notion is the trouble comes from
the sedentary habits of the victims. A
reasonable amount of PHYSICAL activity
is essential to the enjoyment of health

Calvin Hood of Emporia; Lucien Scott
of Leavenworth: James a. Condor of
Oswego; S. a. Brown of Ottawa; John

The Kansas City Gazette thinks there is

list, Hood, Scott and the two Mulvanes.
