not to be quite like the old time
hog cholera, but which is probably es-
sentially that disease. John Kleeman,
manager OF the Corson farm reports the
death OF twenty-five fat hogs worth
about thirteen dollars a piece, and twelve
more very sick. The Corson brothers
have eighty fine fat hogs on the farm
worth over $1,000, and the outlook now
is that they will loose all. A farmer east
OF Sioux Falls recently reported the loss
OF forty hogs from the same disease.
The breaking out of hog cholera in a
pork raising country is a calamity much
to be dreaded, and the situation can only
be fully sympathized in by those who

Ever since last August there has be

Ever since last August there has been
a very heavy demand upon the United
States treasury for 1-cent pieces. The
The treasury department is doing its
best to meet the demand and is coming
10000 pennies per day. On this the
government has a profit Of $1,000 per
day arising from the seigniorage, which
is nearly 80 per cent OF the face value OF
the coins. Speculation as to the cause
Of this great demand for pennies gives
several reasons one Of which is the grow
ing custom in dry-goods establishments
OF marking down prices from round ing
ures, which practice naturally requires a
good many pennies for making change.
Another ca use is attributed to the recent
fight Of large dailes in which they have
reduced their price to n cent each and
pennies are available money to buy them
with. But we believe the real and primary
cause of the whole matter is the hard
times, the necessity of a currency hat
will accommodate the poor in their
meager purchases. whether prices are
reduced or not, purchases must be
smaller IN such timessand fractional u
rency is more IN demand.

GENEROUS OFFER OF RUSSIA.
Has $500. OOO, 900 In Gold That incl.
sam Can Have.

Has $780, 600, 900 in Gold That Uncle
Sam Can Have.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The report
that Russia lras offered to loan the
United States 500, 900, 600 of gold. and
that the RothschildS, who last week
were Withdrawing gold from this cum
Try, have fastened to head of the Rus
sian scheme by protfer;ng all the gold
that may To needed, has created the
greatest interest here.
In all hU:"I .obbies and on street cor
acrs. wherever men congregatc, the
us &n loan is the one topic of discus
sion. The ~cOnccnSuI of opinion is that
this offer viii have Il decided effect
upon the Venezuelan controversy, mas
much as it will certainly brace up the
American market and will convince
British statesmen that the greatest EN-.
pire in the world intends to stand by
the greatest republ in the event Of
any warlike movements.
Russian Minister'S Remark.
When Minister Cantacuzene left the
United States u few weeks ago he called
on the secretary of state to bid him
farewell and incidentally remarked:
Mr.. Secretary, there was an occa.
sion when IA Russian feet was needed
in American waters. The feet made
its appearance and an occasion may
arise again. In such an event Russia is
ready
This significant utterance by the de-
parting Russian minister, followed by
the wonderfully generous offer made
by the Russian authorities, means that
there will be an alliance between the
United States and Russia in the event
Of a controversy with England, which
makes it certain that the Venezuelan
question will be settled without a resort
to arms.
