Exports of Gold From London
Hardens the Money Market.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Money rates
have hardened under the exports Of
gold to New York A omillion dollars

is believed that the shipments of gold
will moderate. BUSINESS at the stock
exchange has been confined to narrow
limits The depressionsdin the Ameri-
can section continues, but the tone of
the other markets is generally firmer
with a renewal of activity in African
mining shares. Foreign stocks are re-
ported better because of the improved
political aspect. France has been buy
ing Turkish and Spanish stocks and
quotations in shares of this character
are higher. Gold exports caused a
rise in Americans until it was known
that these exports were due to the
fears of the New York bankers and the
arrangements which they had made
for encouraging shipments of the yell
low metal to America. When this point
is understood Americans again col
lapsed. Prices of Americans were very
irregular, and 1t is feared that fur

ALTGELD A BOODLER.
Such Is the Sensational Charge
Made in an Open Letter.

Made in an Open Letter.
CHICAGO, Aug 23.-Ex-Congress-
man William S. Forman has written
Gov. J. P. Altgeld a sensational open
letter, In which he makes various
charges Of recklessness in the boodling
of state money and declares that he
as a Democrat cannot support the gov
ernor for reelection. Among other
questions, Mr.. Forman asks the gov
ernOr:
Why did you place the price of nominal
ton as state treasurer at the Peoria conven-
ton at $40, Co., the money to be used to help
your reelection?
Why did you borrow $50, 900 to 100000 of
Rufus Ramsey, now deceased, without pay
ing interest?
What became of your bills, if there were
any, between the time of the official sealing
of the state treasury vaults after Ramsey
death and the opening Of the same when a
successor was named?
Mr. Forman cites instances in which
Altgeld has borrowed hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to run the state in
situations, paying as high as per cent
interest, and asks: "Out Of what ap-
propriations have you paid the thou
sands of dollars of interest, or to be
more explicit, under what appropria-
ton do you propose to cover it up?"
The letter declares that the governor
has practically wrecked the Democratic
party in Illinois.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The World this

respondence, dated near Havana, Cuba, Aug.
Is:
Couriers have just arrived with news of a
crisis in the provisional government CT the
Republic CT Cuba There had been much
friction for some months between several
high officers. The climax came July %, when
the headquarters quartermaster spoke rather
plainly to the president, Col Manadaly, act
ing secretary Of war, resented this and drew
his revolver, supposedly to avenge the in
suit to his chief. The quartermaster also had
supporters, and for instant bloodshed
seemed inevitable.
But the venerable president, aided by the
cooler heads present, quickly restored a
semblance of peace The old gentleman
feelings, however. were deeply wounded and
he immedia ely announced his resignation.
All that night the provisional government
was in danger of ignominous dissolution,
but the next morning all complaints were
heard.
Differences were adjusted and President
Cisneros withdrew his resignation. Trouble
is over, for the present at least, and the
wheels Of government are running smoothly.

AIDS special from Washington says:
Rear Admiral r. w. Meade, U. S.. N,
retir d will be a andidate for command
cr-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic at the st. Paul encampment
In September. He is a member of La
fayette post, Of New York, and will
be supported by that post and several
other posts in the East. Admiral
Meade has a record of forty-five years
service in the navy of the United
States, and his comrades of Lafayette
post urge it as a strong reason why
he should be elected commander-in-
chief. Another reason urged by La
fayette post Is that, although it has
on it's roll of membership the names Of
more prominent men than any other
similar organization, it has never be-
fore sought office for one of its mem
bers.

The season for black leg In young
cattle is again at hand, and already we
are receiving reports OF losses. M II.
Barnes, OF Dumont, Iowa, writes as fol-
lows: II have some calves one year
old affected with black leg. have lost
three and one more is sick now. DO
you know OF any cure for 1t after the
calves are once taken sick, or what
should be given as a preventive"

which no treatment has been found

of certainty, after the disease has once

ton OF strong carbollc acid solution,

II the tumor appears low down on the

limb just above the tumor so as to OBJ

Some years ago Mr. A. Washburn, Of
Topeka, Kansas, wrote us that even
after an attack he found Bardadoes
aloes effective as a cure. For a dose,
one ounce OF pulverized Bardadoes
aloes was made into pill by being
mixed with molasses, and then rolled
in flour 40 as to handle with the fingers
without sticking. The calfs mouth
was then opened. drawing the tongue
to one side. and the pill placed as near
the roots of the tongue as possible, the
tongue then being looSed and the pill
going down. One calf that had gone
lame was cured by one pill Others
that were worse had 10 have pill a
day for three or four days on which
treatment they gradually improved.
While there is no sufficient experience
justifying a great deal OF confidence In
any remedy. those suggested may be
tried on the principle that heroic
methods are warranted in cases where
death liz almost certain anyhow. AS 10
preventives, one Is to push the calves

If it were not for weeds, insect pests,

that in the sweat OF the brow we should

heavily upon us. The gopher, al.
though not to be compared TO some of
the hindrances named, Is nevertheless
a good thing TO get rid Of; and for
tunately science has come to the aid of
the farmer In this respect, which makes
the task easier now than formerly. It
is not so very long since that about the
only methods of destroying the gopher

gopher's hungry time, and this was a
very uncertain method, as well MS an
expensive one. Within the past few
years. however, bi-sulphide Of earbon
has been employed for the purpose of
destroying the gopher with almost un-
varying success. Find the burrows,
put couple of teaspoonfuls OF bi-sul-
phide Of carbon upon small bunch OF
rags. or. better yet, upon the round
balls Of dry horse dung, roll II into the
burrow az far as possible and then
close the opening The burrows may
be located at any time, but the work
should be done in the evening 80 that
the certainty of finding the gopher at
home will be greater. Commercial BIZ

doses. The treatment should be con-
tinued for month in the spring and

black leg attacks come. 1t Is, of
course, difficult to demonstrate the
efficiency of any merely preventive
treatment When II Is followed by i'm
munity from the disease one can never
be quite certain whether the disease
would have appeared II the preventive
had not been used. r. A. Steele, OF
Belyoir Kansas. once wrote that he
taught his calves, while they were yet
running with the COW. to lick salt, re-
ducing II with bran. The practice was
kept up, and after weaving them they
had, in season, little bran and salt In
the trough regularly. occasionally add
ing little saltpeter. Col Harris, the
well-known Short-ho breeder VI LIZ
wood, Kansas, has given the public q
preventive which he says Is the result
OF forty years experience 1t consists
of ten pounds of sulphur. six pounds OF
copperas. three pounds of sal.peter
three pounds Of air slaked lime, mixed
with two or three times the amount of
common salt which the combination
makes. This mixture Is fed instead OF
salt for few weeks before turning on
grass in the spring and while hang
ing feed in the fall Col Harris says
that when his cattle have been l.ber-
ally supplied with this mixture ne has
not had any losses, but when the sup
ply has not been kept up he has had
thom. The mixture should not be
given to pregnant animals.
In considering the question Of black
leg, there is one caution that should
always be given, and that is, that no
one should ever attempt to skin IN ami
NAL that has died Of black leg II he
values his own life Another is that
the carcass should be burned. When
buried We are assured by scientists
that the germs Of the disease turk in
the soil and are brought by up earth
worms and other agencies to again
spread the, disease when the season for
1t is favorable. The continued prev
alence of black leg upon some farms,
while 1t Is as continuously absent on
others, affords color 10 this belief.
