THE following letter from the
State Veterinary Surgeon to Senator
J.J. Harris in answer to an inquiry
about "black-leg," which is caus-
ing the death Of many cattle in this
part of the State, will be of interest
to every stock mani
DENVER, Colo, Nov. as, 1897.
]. ]. Harris, Dolores, Colo.
Dear Sir:-In answer to yours
of the 23rd, received this morning,
the cases you describe are VERY
clearly "BLAcK-LEe," which has
been very prevalent in Colorado the
last Is months. The death ratio
this year among young stock has
been over 5000 head. There is no
cure for anthrax or the anthracoid
disease of black-leg. When an ami
NAL is attacked, recommend as a
preventive, vaccination with Pas
teur's Lymph. The agency for
this material in Colorado is the
Acme Medical Supply Co.. SIC,
18th ST.. Denver, who supply the
material and instruments for using
it, with full directions. Over 49,
600 head have been so vaccinated
this year In Colorado.
Ihave to-day writer them to send
you their printed matter on black
leg" In 1895 I wrote full des-
criptive pamphlet on this disease,
but it is now out of print. l have
asked the State to print some more,
When they are out will be glad to
send you copy.
Any further information I car
give you I shall be glad to do so.
Yours truly.

washington. They also believe
that Hanna's SUCCESS will sound the
death knell Of republicans in
Ohio.
Representative Hepburn, Of Iowa,
has let the republican financial cat
out of the bag and shown why the
republicans would not dare, even il
they controlled both branches Of
Congress, to put Secretary Cages
ideas into statute, by saying
naively, in published interview:
Why if we should pass a law on
those lines at this session of Con.
|Jgress, Iowa would not return a sim
gle republican Congressman next
fall and the republicans would lose
a Senator from that state" Hep
burns confession may not have been
polite from republican point Of
view, but 1t is true, and there are
four or five other states in which
the republicans wouldf fare no better
than IN Iowa. The administration
has got to make a bluff at trying to
get gold standard legislation from
Congress, in order to keep campaign
promises, but that is as far as it
cares to go now Under any circum-
stances.
B. X. Bruce, the negro ex-Sena-
tor, ex-Register Of the Treasury,
ETC., who lives in Washington, but
claims residence in Mississippi for
Office holding purposes. evidently
knew just what he was doing when
he went to Ohio to take the stump
for Boss Hanna, as Mckinley has
dropped broad hint that Bruce was
to be again appointed Register of
the Treasury. As a professional
Office holder, Bruce is hard to beat.

A SUBJECT of vital interest to the
school Of Dolores was brought be.
fore the literary society yesterday
evening that is worthy Of care.
full consideration; i. e., the chang
ing of the meeting night. The
proposition put forth that the meet
ings should be held on every other
Friday night instead of every We'd
nesday should Carry by all meals.
In the first place it is we'll known
fact that when an entertainlieht is
held during the school week, there
is, to a greater or less extent, a
scarcity of scholars at school the
next day, and teacher cannot do
good work under such circum-
stances. neither will the scholars
learn anything. And second, the
two weeks between meetings would
give ample time for dances and prep
aration of programme. But a.
bove all things. the good Of the
school should be considered first,
and when possible nothing should
be done that in any way retards Its
work or usefulness, and, while the
literary is beneficial to all, it should
not be allowed to interfere with the
educational work of the public
school. Consider this carefully and
if you are a member of the society,
vote for the change.

WASHINGTON
LETTER.

WAsHlScroN. Nov. a6, 1897.
McKinley's aid to Boss Hanna has
made the election Of the latter to the
Senate n apparent certainty, but
unless some very shrewd students
Of things political are wrong, it l,a.
also mdde Mckinley S denomination
for ths Presidency almost an i'm.
possibility. According to current
gossip, Senator Foraker will lead a
fight on Mckinley in his own state,
and the anti Platt republicans in
New York will use the "Citisen's
Union' organization, which has
been made permanent, to down Platt
and prevent his carrying out the deal
to give Mckinley the solid vote OF
NewYork in the Republican Nation
al Convention in 1900. While these
movements may not be directly in
the interests Of Gar Reed, as some
sly they are, he is likely to occupy
the best position for being benefit
ted by them. if they succeed, as his
friends are known to be at work in
New England and elsewhere, to
keep the following he had last year
together, and to add to il. Platt
and Hanna, in the addition to the
tnemies he has made in the distri-
button of pie, will be heavy load
For Mckinley to carry, and the
chances will certainly be against his
getting nominated again.
Democrats are inclined to poke
FUN at Senator Lindsay, ofKy., and
TO accuse him of having been asleep

Ing returned to Washington singing
the same old Cleveland Carlisle song
about the only currency legislation
needed, being that which will retire
the greenbacks. Most advocates of
the retirement of the greenbacks
propose some other sort Of currency
In their place, but Lindsay would
have the greenbacks rcsired as fast
us they are presented at tile Treas-
1ry. aud nothing issued i'll their
places. In other words, he believes,
br thinks that liz believes that the
people could prosper under system
of enforced contraction Of the cur
tency that is already less in volume
than the country needs. However,
there are not sufficient number Of
si.Arers in that belief to cause any
hueasiness.
