Peculiar Cattle Disease.

BELLEFoNrE. Pa, Aug. ia
disease is spreading among the
cattle in this county. What it is
no one seems to know and as vet
no remedy has been found that
has proven capable of curing it.
The cattle first become lame and
their legs begin to swell the swell.
ling gradually exxtends over the
whole body and finally results in
death. There has as yet not been
a single instance where cattle at
tackled have recovered. 1t is no
unusual occurrence for the
farmers to take their cows to pas.
ture at night and'find one or two
dead in the morning. 1t is
thought that the disease is con-
tagious and was brought here by
heard of cattle shipped from the

Train Wrecked.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-The
Chespeak and Ohio F. F. V. ex-
press, bound from Washington to
Cincinnati, was thrown on side
track at Ravensworth, Va,
eighteen miles below Washington,
at 1919 o'clock this morning by
train wreckers, and the engine,
mail car, express car and one
truck OF the combined baggage
and smoker were derailed.
The only one injured was the bag
gage maeter, E. f. Coffman, whose
back was slightly hurt. Near Ra-
vensworth the switch had been
tempered with by wreckers just
beyond a curve which prevented
the wreckers' work being seen I'M
til the train was close on to the
spur track. Engineer Fowler ap-
piled the airbrakes with great
force, but succeeded in stopping
the train only after the engine
travelled on the ties almost 100
feet.
The switch lamp had been re-
moved, the switch lock broken and
the switch thrown for the side
track. The unknown wreckers
waited near the track, and as the
flagman went back to protect the
train bullet sped by his head,
but missed its mark.
Railroad detectives were dis
patched to the scene and are now
making an Investigation.

WHAT I6 TO I MEANS.
Some Facts for Free snverites to Ponder
Over.

It means that 16 ounces of silver for
debtpaying purposes shall be made, by
law, worth as much as one ounce OF
gold.
One ounce of gold will now coin
$3.50. Sixteen ounces of silver shall
be made to coin $3.50.
You can buy in any market to-day 16
ounces of silver for 1924. The profit is
81 per cent, or $3.50.
In other words, if a man borrows of
you to-day $3.50 he can pay you, If
"free silver at sixteen to one" becomes
law, with 1924.
Look out that it doesn't!
Silver is merely commodity, like
tin, iron or wood.
II the government should say 1914
worth of wood shall cost $3.50, would
you buy it? Certainly not.
The silver dollar to-day is worth SO
cents. It's present ratio 10 gold Is about
thirty-one TO one. All the governments
in the world cannot change the CONNER
cial value of silver any more than that
of coal, iron, tin or copper!
The more silver produced the cheaper
| it will get
Would England, France or Germany
take In payment of debt from us foi
| $3.50, 1924, simply because our gov
eminent said that 1924 worth of silver
is worth $3.50 of gold?
Certainly not! No more than yor
would accept such a settlement of a per
sonal debt.
A standard of exchange must be co
extensive with the commercial world
and acceptable to all CONCERNED.

THE BRONOHOs WON.
A Lead in the First Inning Saved Them
From Defeat.

A Lead in the First Inning Saved Them
From Defeat.
The only feature about yester-
days ball game was that the Bron-
chos won. This fact is indeed
worthy of special mention. The
Bronchos got at Whellner from the
start and the iusilade of base hits
put the Senators into a dream.
Seven hits and ten runs was the
Bronchos' record in the first in
ming. But they soon became woe.
fully tired, and while they hit
Wellner freely throughout the
game, they failed to hit for runs,
which has been their one great
falling OF late. In the eight re-
naming innings they scored only
six runs out OF thirteen hits. What
a waste of stickwork
The visitors got on batting
streaks in the first, fourth and
seventh innings, and ended with
slight spells in the eighth and
ninth. But for the Bronchos' big
lead in the first inning the Sena.
tors would have easily passed
them.
1t was busy day for the eigh.
teen players and Umpire Clark.
There were 141 balls hit, which
dropped fair. OF these 81 were hit
out of reach of the fielders, SO ere
hit to the fielders, 81 of which were
properly fielded, and II got away.
The ball was hit five times for the
purpose of advancing base-runners.
base.runners made
the circuit successfully and Mr..
Clark had to see that it was all
properly done.
The improvement in the work
of the Bronchos' infield was noticed
since the diamond has peen fixed
up.
The score: San Antonio Is,
II.
Houston defeated Galveston by
a score of 4 to 2.
A number of Texas league stars
are playing at HillsbOro, Temple
and other small towns for their

to the rigging until help arrived.
