SICK HOGS.
Black Tush" Is Killing Them Off in
 Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 1O.-A strange disease is playing great havoc with hogs in Randolph, Green, Clay and Lawrence counties, and the rav- ages have cost the farmers of that sec tion the loss of thousands of dollars worth of swine. The disease has been pronounced to be black tush" It is very infectious and so far has proved fatal in every instance, in some cases causing the death of every hog on large plantations. When swine are at tackled with the disease they stand motionless for awhile and become blind. As the disease advances they wallow on the earth and die in great agony. The farmers in the affected district are greatly alarmed over the spread of the disease

MEXICAN BOUNDARY LINE.
The Senate RatifieS an Interna-
 tional Agreement.
Senators Cullom and Calls Cuban Speeches Were Listened to By Crowded Galleries What Was Done in Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The house under the call of committees.
 MT. Scranton Rep., Pennsylvania from the committee on territories, called up the bill to amend the act forbidding alien ownership of land in territories. The bill sought to enable aliens ito acquire title to real prop erty under mortgage foreclosure. By the terms of the bill they must dispose of such title within ten years.
 After considerable debate the bill was defeated 60 to 73. MT Powers Rep., Vermont, from the committee on Pacific railroads, called up the bill to define the rights of purchasers un- der mortgages on the Atlantic 6 Pa ciic railroad. MT. Powers said the purpose of the bill was to permit mort gagees to exercise under reorganiza- tiOn their right as a corporation Af- ter considerable discussion the bill went over until Tuesday.
 The senate got into the regular chan nel of business today, taking the inn migration bill and partly perfecting it, and also hearing the first of the speeches on Cuba, those of Mr. Cul- lom and MT. Call. The disposition to put through the immigration bill was shown by the defeat of the motion by MT. Gibson of Maryland to postpone the measure until after the holidays
 Only thirteen votes, all Democrats, were given in favor of postponement The proposition served to involve Messrs. Chandler, Lodge and Gibson in several personal colloquies. The bill was not passed upon up to the time of adjournment, but the senate agreed to what is generally known as the Lodge bill as a substitute to the house measure.
 The substitute requires that all i'm migrants over the age of IA years shall be able to read and write their native language and shall be required to read and write in thsspresenee of, a United States official at least five lines of the United States constitution.
 The Cuban speeches Of MT. Cullom and MT. Call were listened to by crowded galleries, indicating the pub lie interest felt in this subject The senate adjourned over to Monday.
 The senate in executive session to- day ratified an agreement made be- tween Secretary Olney and Minister Romero of Mexico, extending for a year the provisions of the treaty be- tween the United States and Mexico for survey and relocation of the international boundary line west o1 the Rio Grande. The treaty was called up by Senator Sherman and was adopted by the senate without debate

SOUND MONEY MEEI.
National Democratic Party to Keep in
 Fighting Trim.

WASHINGTON, Dec lG-The Dem ocrats are here to stay ss Q new and distinct political party. This, it is given out, will be the deeie:on of the executive committee of the gold stand ardites, which is in session today at a local hotel in response to the call of the National chairman, William-D. Bynum
 The latter recently returned from a northern visit of several days dura- tion, during which he conferred with a number of representative goid Demo crats, including ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Fairchild, ex-Goyernor Flow CT, Oliver Perry Belmont and Bourke Cochran. All of these and others were of the opinion that -te organiza- tion should be maintained and that the National Democrats should seek to occupy the position held up to the time of the disruption last September by the United Democratic party as the only Simon-pure exponent cf Demo cratic principles.
 | The executive committee Will prob ably issue an address to the Nation inviting attention to the dangers that are threatened by the continued agi- tation of the silver issue by Mr. Bryan and the western mine owners.
 1 Chairman Bynum says that from all over the country there are coming de mands that the organization be made permanent and keep in iEhting trim, and that, inasmuch as the free silver Democrats have decided to continue their agitation, there is no reason why the gold standard Democrats should not keep their flag at the masthead. l The committee will have brought to it's attention the new Democratic Re- publican movement initiated in the east by Henry Willard and others, the main object of which is to get the taY- if and money laws out of the hands of the politicians, or, in other words, to rally the commercial interests of the country under the sound money flag, and with proper tariff regulations enacted under the advice cf a commTs- sion of business men. While it is possible, however, that the executive committee may approve Of the prin- ciples of the movement, 1t is not in clined to recommend a coalition.
 Nearly every one of the members
 insists that the National Democrats
 must continue to fight for tue prinei- ples of the Indianapolis platform, and that the gold Democratic party must continue as an active organization.

School Board VIII Make an Example
OF the High School ROystcrers.
The Board of Education has about de-
termined to enter upon vigorous prosecu-
tion OF the High school boys who perpetrated
the devilment in the assembly room Tues
day night. Informal conferences were held
by the members of the board yesterday,
ard the sentiment OF all was found to
strongly favor making an example OF the
lads. One member OF the board spoke
strongly in favor OF beginning a vigorous
prosecution at once, and forcing 1t to the eX-
treme. He felt that the act was not only
one of insubordnation, but of malicious mis-
chief, that demanded punishment. AS a
member of the board he felt that he was
not discharging the obligations of his office
II lie favored any other course. Other mem
bers were equally pronounced in their dec
larations. The piling up of the books used
by all OF the pupils made 1t impossible TO
resume the regular rectatOns for the day
until the books were redistributed to the
pupils using them. This work naturally
created such confusion that the entire day
was lost. The board figures that the mis-
chievous act of the boys cost the district
between $75 and $780, Damage to such an
extent that was too serious to be per-
mitted to pass unnoticed. Some OF the mem
bers were in favor of employing detec-
tives, and at once putting them at work
getting the names of all of the boys inn
picated but this plan did not meet the
approved of all. The majority OF the board
and the school officers felt that the bet
ter plan was to call upon the boys to come
forward and promptly acknowledge their
fault. II was thought that II they were thus
put upon their honor the majority of them
would acknowledge their fault with the
belief that such course would be the best
for them Superintendent Hisey and Prin-
clpal Hayden oppose the Idea of bringing
criminal prosecutions, but strongly favor
taking such action as will most effectually
break up the habit that the boys seem to
regard as time -honored." As nearly as
can be ascertained there were about fifty
boys mixed up in the affair, though lesser
number performed the actual mischief.

FEEDING THOUSANDS OF CATTLE
Farmers Turn Their Eight Cent Corn
into Ennr DnlInr nccf.


Pottawattame county's corn crop Is not
going to waste this year, for over 20 0OC
cattle are being fed by the farmers in the
county, that being the number estimated by
Recorder Shepard to have been brought in
since last August. These are valued at over
$500 600 and the chances are that they will
be worth considerable more before they have
all been fed out. Yesterday papers were
filed with the county recorder involving 493
head valued at $l5,032 this being one OF the
largest bunches brought into the county in
a single day.
In feeding the cattle it is generally esti-
mated that 1t will take from seventy to
eighty bushels a head, which for the 20.0 900
head would dispose OF over million bushels
OF the surplus corn in this part OF the state.
Among the prominent feeders Of the county
are Van Kirk Bros OF Keg Creek, J. r. and
j. II. Turner of Washington, W. n. Hacht
of York, Kilion Bros Of Washington, Grant
Dewitt of Grove, Thomas Lidel of Washing
ton J. II. Harrison of Silver Creek, J. W..
Hartwell Of Washington, p. n. Sucksdorf of
Silver Creek, j. l.. Ellsworth Of Kane, James
A. Flynn, p. Burkley, Charles SeXey and ID.
c. Redman. The feeders are scattered all
over the county and all seem anxious to
turn their Scent corn into beef, which from
the present outlook promises to be profita-
Bile. The cattle come mostly from South
Omaha, an occasional bunch being brought
in from some outside point. AS high as
S3.S5 has been paid for the finest class of
steers, cows ranging as low as 81 per hun
dred weight.
Recorder Shepard says that this year
would undoubtedly be one of the largest
feeding yeats in the history of the county
and attributed the fact to the low price of
corn and its great abundance. Cattle that
average from 900 to 600 pounds are ex-
pected to be turned out with gain of from
300 to 400 pounds, which gives a profit to
the feeder. Recorder Shepard says that
while the bulk of the business is about over
there will be several thousand more cattle
brought in during the winter making this
the banner season for some time in the feed
ing line for Pottawattamie county.

The Fifteenth Street mission people gave
a dinner yesterday to great horde of hun
cry children that more than filled the mis-

by charitable people all over the city, and
the invitation was extended to every poor
child to be present and enjoy the feast.
More than 200 of them responded. and not
one of them went away with hunger un-
satisfied. The dinner was of a most sub
stantial character, well cooked and served.
All OF the work connected with the feast
was done by the women of the mission. The
prime mover in the enterprise was Mrs.
Miller, who is devoting all OF her time to
the work of the mission She spent several
weeks soliciting material for the dinner. and
made frequent appeals to charity through
the newspapers. All of the other workers
Of the mission heartily seconded her efforts
and the result was large and happy gather
Ing OF hungry little ones to whom Christ
mas would otherwise have been a meaning
less word.
Mrs. Miller and the other mission women
desire TO return their hearty thanks to the
people who responded so generously and
aided them so greatly in making the dinner
n feast that gladdened hundreds of hearts
and stomachs. In a note to The Bee she
says: I'VE do not know how TO express our
thanks to them. but we wish they could
have been there to see the poor children
enjoy the dinner, II would have done their
hearts good, We give God and our friends
the thanks for making IL possible for us
to bring so much cheer and comfort to little
hearts that sorely needed It,"
