Peculiar Disease Among Cattle.

What appears to be new and somewhat
mysterious disease among stock has SUD
denly made its appearance among
horses and cattle in Sheridan County. :,
disease consists of an affliction of
tongue principally, although in some cas
the inside OF the lips, the jaws and Il
throat at the root of the tongue are aIJ,
afflicted. The tongue is red and swooIen
and IN most cases raw, and seems to be
very sore and painful. The affected ami
NAL will stand still and work it's laws and
roll Its tongue and slObber prOfusely, re-
1uslng to eat mOuthful of anything until
the disease begins to abate. No one seems
10 know anything about it; to be able to
give II name; to account for its origin:
assign a cause, or suggest remedy. Ii is
not believed to be caused by eating hay
containing needle grass, Russian thistle or
anything of that kind, and seems to be con-
taglous. 1t affects cattle more seriously
than horses, causing them to become thin.
and haggard in a very short time.

Not a criminal" exclaimed the man
of unscientific mind.
II consider him very far from being
one."
But think what he did,

this conclusion"
"He committed murder, didn't he?"
Legally, | suppose he did"
1.-The deed was absolutely flendish in
it's cruelty"
Il admit that"
-Four people died horrible deaths as a
result of his deliberate act.''
THAT is quite true
''Then, if he is not a criminal, there
are none
'On the contrary, there are great
many Of them. The snoplifter in the
next cell is a criminal. SO is the fellow
on the other side who assaulted a man
with a slungshot. But it is absurd to
call this man criminal"
"Then what is he?"
"He is degenerate"
"Oh, yes. of course" returned the man
of unscientific mind. II forgot that
science had made such great strides Of
late, and so ! failed to apply the usual
test"
Yes. AS understand it, criminal

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wali Street Review.

New York, Aug. 6.-Stocks to-day
We're active and weak, the trading
reaching 2i5,l0S shares, an unusually
large total. The heaviness of,the mar
ket was due primarily to the activity
of the bear leaders who in the absence
of bull support are practically in con-
troll of the current speculation. At the
opening London sold heavily of Louis
vile and Nashville and other stocks
dealt in abroad. The selling of the
western stocks was attributed to re-
ports of damage to crops in the north
west while Louisville and Nashville
was depressed by the poor traffic state
ment for July just published. Follow
ing the foreign selling there was an
attack on the Changers, Manhattan
and Western Union by local operators
Burlington and Quincy made a new
low record. selling down to 57%. 1t
was again stated that the directors will
be compelled to reduce the dividend
on the stock. The same argument was
made in the case of Manhattan and the
stock dropped III to S4A. Money on
time worked closer and d~higher rates
were predicted The failures in mer-
camille circles and the suspensions at
tn cotton exchange also had their in
fluence with the discouraged bulls.
The important losses in the usually
active list follow: Burlington. s to
57A; Sugar. 2is to 100as; Chicago Gas.
2 to ASS; Northwest. 2Is to 30; ST. Paul
23s to 6S7s; Rock Island, 2la to 51&;
Lackawanna, Az to las; Illinois Cen
trail to Sc; Louisville and Nashville,
2hs to 40%; Manhattan, ~ to 34&; New
York Central, 2b to IS; New Jersey
Central, ia to 9Ola; Pacific Mail. IA
to 1874; Southern Railway preferred
IA to 1S1a; Omaha, ga to 31&, and
Leather preferred, 2as to 45A. In the
active list Illinois Steel brought 80
against 80 the last reported sale for
full lots at the stock exchange. A rally
of 4 at l per cent. ensued during the
afternoon as the result of buying by
brokers identified with a bear opera
tor. At the close. however, the market
was feverish and unsettled. Net
changs show losses of q at 2ls per cent
Minnesota Iron fell to AZ and Lack
awanna Az to 145. Sugar which was
the most active stock figured for 80, 400
shares. St. Paul was second with a.
