RUSHVILLG. Neb., Dec. 3.-(Special.) >
What appears to be a new and somewhat
mysterious disease among stock has sud
denly made Its appearance among the horses
and cattle in this county. The disease
consists of an affliction OF the tongue princi-
paly. although in some cases the inside
of the lips. the jaws and the throat at the
root OF the tongue are also afflicted The
tongue is red and swollen and in most cases
raw, and seems TO be very sore and painful
The affected animal will stand still and
work it's jaws and rool It's tongue and slob-
her profusely. refusing to ear a mouthful
OF anything until the disease begins to abate
No loss of stock has been reported yet from
1t, and so far as observation goes the chief
damage is in the loss of flesh and condi-
ion perhaps, mainly from the entire in
ability of the animal 10 cat, No one here
seems TO know anything about It: to be
able to give 1t a name; 10 account for its
origin; assign cause or suggest o remedy
None OF the veterinary works oxtant men
tion anything like it. nor can any one be
found who has ever seen anything similar
to IT, II is not believed TO he caused by
eating hay containing needle grass Russian
thistlea or anything of that kind, and seems
TO be contagious, 1t affects cattle more
seriously than horses, causing them to be-
come thin and haggard in a very short
time

w mere RHts nnI Mice Are Numerous.
NORTH LOUP Neb., Dec. 3.-(Specialo-
One OF the peculiar things noticeable in this
neighborhood during the fall and winter
of the present season is the vast number OF
rats and mice, especially the latter, which
are making themselves obnoxious. Even
those most wise in rodent lore appear to
have at hand no satisfactory explanation
OF why these pests should now be more nu-
merous than at any other time since suf-
fcient grain for their sustenance can be
round here even during the most meager of
harvests, but 1t is nevertheless true that
their appearance In the force now existing
is phenomenon hitherto unprecedented and
traps and devices of all kinds for their cap
ture and destruction are in great demand
Their ravages are not by any means confined
to the fields, but the little invaders have
tnsinuated themselves into occupied resi-
dences, vacant buildings, outhouses boxes
bins and cribs, stores and churches; in fact
almost everywhere that the slightest shell
ter or hiding place can be found. To make
their presence all the more aggraVatiug they
run hither and thither in broad daylight
fearlessly showing themselves at long dis
tanccs from places of refuge, destroying
stores OF seed and grain and otherwise MAX
ms themselves generally obnoxious The
most probable explanation of their appear
ance in such unusual numbers is that they
were concentrated by the high waters OF
last June from the lower lands and forced
to the higher situations, where buildings
were located, and that they have since
preferred such a location to that from which
they fed from the rising waters

PECULIAR COMPLICATION IN COURT
Interesting Point in the Selection of n
Jury in The Einmigmn VIII Cnsc.

SCHUYLER, Neb. Dec. 3.-(Special.)-In
the selection of jurymen in the Finnegan
will case very unusual matter came up for
consideration. James Green while being eX-
amined touching his qualifications as juror,
testified that from his knowledge of the
case, obtained through talking and reading
about 1t. he had formed and expressed opin-
ions that he did not believe evidence could
remove; also, that he had an opinion as
to wills in general that would influence
him as a juror in the consideration of this
case, and stated that he had made strong
statement of his opinions since the Sittings
OF the present term of court. PrCponent' S
attorneys upOn finishing his examination,
said, well, well pass that for the present" 4"
Nothing further came of it until after Judge
Marshall requested the jurymen to arise
and be sworn when Mr. Green announced
that he would like to make a statement,
whereupon he reiterated statements made
und,r examination and strongly urged his
disqualification for a juryman. Both sides
had passed challenge for cause, the propo-
nents peremptory challenges were exhausted
and the contestants had waived theirs hav-
ing had one left. The matter went into
energetic discussion proponents desiring
Green's dismissal and the contestants his
retention. 1t was eventually disclosed that
the minor fCir Sumner Finnegan, had
rights to a challenge which he could not
waive, so, upon request Of James A. Grimi-
soh' Sudl uldh du llleIn, Gfoen was excused.
Ihefe was talk on the part OF contestants
OF taking exceptions to his being excused.
Dut an agreement was finally made to drop
the matter entirely.
Today was consumed in the examination
OF the first witness called by the contest
ants, Pearl Finnegan, direct examination
being finished and cross examination being
conducted about an hour The witness, &
comely, intelligent young woman, was quick
to respond, making her testimony on the
domestic infelicity in her home during the
ten years before her father took his wife's
and his own life. Her testimony was in
the direction of proving her fathers in
sanity, which was aggravated by various
dolusions the principal ones being touching
his wife's chastity Her father repeatedly
threatened to take their lives, especially
upon occurrences of little things to excite
his suspicion. such as actions of hired men
visiting neighbors, or tracks about his wife's
bed room window.
