A MITCHELL JOEE.-I'hey tell quite a
joke on Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. Last
summer be sent beautiful agricultural re-
port 10 an old man residing al the city Of
Scanty ygrease. Clacgamag county. Ii was
closely studied by the 0. m, particularly the
part on d eases Of domestic animals. His
old cow had heretofore always been
well. but careful study Of plates in ths
book convince him that she had all the dis
eases therein described. He began doctor
ing her. and as she got worse he called in
the yxinity hogsdoctor. and between them
they wound up The COW career And now
the veterinary sends mis- bill TO Senator
Mitchell. claiming that If be hadn't sent
the book 10 the old man there would have
leen no sick COW or no dead COW. The sen
asor has presented the old man With q new
COW, bat the bossdocser's bill has been re
ferrsi to the night Of the senate chamber,
and ii may be laid over under the table.
Senator Mitchell fears that the Munroe
doctrine OF noa-interfereEce will tend to-
ward preventing the payment Of the claim
And now that Jerry Rusk and Oa4- arm
Brown and Bill Watkins and the zar are all
dead. ]; may be long while before relief
ball can be gotten through for the good
Doctor. We gIve the above ag one attempt
a: VII on the rart Of Washington journal.
