TO CURE NTrLR FEVER.
An Important Discovery That May Reyoiu-
tionize the Cattle Markets.

An Important Discovery That May hevoiu-
tionize the CattleNiarkets.
Denver, Col, September 17.-After
months Of effort and repeated expert
ments cure for cattle fever has been
found. DR.. v. A. Norgard, of this city,
is the discoverer. The plan for deal
ing with the fever is primarily to ex-
terminate the insect known as the
"tick' which abound on fever stricken
cattle, and through the means OF which
the disease is communicated. To do
this the cattle are forced to swim
through solution in vat. What the
solution is, is not known at the pres
ent time, but crude petroleum is used.
When the successful experiment was
tried 81 head of very ''ticky" cattle
were forced to swim through the solu-
ton, and it was noticed that while
standing on the drip board there was
almost a perfect rain of ticks" falling
off the cattle. They were put into a
pen and the next day, just II hours
after the experiment was tried, rigid
examination was prosecuted and the
examiners failed to find a single live
tick in the whole heard.
If the new remedy proves to be all
tHdL is Claimed II can 40, Iue Cdltlo
market will experience somewhat of a
revolution and about 100000 head of
cattle will be shipped north each year
during the now prohibited season,
which extends from February Is to
November Is. The fever line from
beyond the limits of which no cattle
can be shipped to the North during the
prohibitive period, as it now stands,
stretches from ocean to ocean, and
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Indian
Territory, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Virginia, part of West Virginia
and Louisiana form the district af-
fected
State Veterinarian Gresswell is very
much pleased with the results of DR..
Norgard's experiments and says with
OUT doubt the long-sought remedy has
been found.
A meeting of all States and territor-
les that handle cattle has been called
to meet in Fort Worth on September
q, and at this meeting it is expected
the new scheme of dipping cattle will
be shown, and should it prove a sue
cess there, many of the States will be
ready to so modify their laws that the
cattle Of the South can enter the mar
ket.

HORSELESS VEHICLES.
Rapid Increase in Their Use and Advance
ment in Their Manufacture.

Washington, September 17.-An in
teresting history of the development
of automobile carriages in France
comes to the State Department from
United States Consul Brunot, at St.
Etienne. He calls the attention of
our own manufacturers to the great
strides being made in France by build
ers of automobiles, stimulated by the
constant public demand, and for their
information, if they can be induced to
compete, he submits price list of the
French vehicles ranging from $500
for two-seat carriage to 1900 for
a six-seat wagOnette or a delivery van.
The consul says that the petroleum or
naphtha motor has superseded all 9TH
ers, running at about one cent per
kilometre (about siX-tenths of a mile)
without much noise or smell.
