spondent Of the Telegraph says: The
effect upon Paris of the seizure OF the
steamer Lafayette is clear enough. Al
ready a rather bitter feeling against
the United States existed, and this in

the seizure, the government may be
expected to make the very strongest

To remember as long IS she Liver.

diets that before the close OF the

Pacific coast will be.talkinx by tele-
phone to persons on the Atlantic
seaboard The feat has already
been ACCOMPLISHED between Kansas
City aud Boston. Thirty-three
States are now connected by loug
distance telephone systems and
within = year nearly every other
State in the Union will have them.
Statistics show that the year 1898
has developed greater activity in

Col. w. B. Montgomery, O

Col. w. B. Montgomery, Of
Starksville, one Of the largest
breeders Of blooded cattle and also
an extensive cattle feeder, has been
experimenting for the past three
years for the purpose Of discovering
some expedient to prevent the terri
ble s.accl,mation' fever to which
all stock brought here from the
North are subject. Col. Mont
gomery now announces that ne mas
found an absolute preventive for
the fever and has demonstrated It's
efficacy in hundreds of tests Inc
remedy is simple and consists SIM
ply in thoroughly greasing the
cattle once every week during the
first summer. The grease used is
cotton-seed oil, by reason OF It's
cbeanness and the convenience in
its application, though any kind OF
grease would do as we'll. Speaking
of his experience in this line' Col.
Montgomery says he has used ii
successfully for the past three years
and has seen numbers of cases in
his nelghborhood in which it was
tried upon his recommendation
and he asserts that in every IN
stance where the grease was used
the cattle escaped the acclimatlon
fever add are now as hearty and
healthy as any native stock. This
will be glad news not only to home
breeders of fine stock, but to lm
norters in the North and West
who have long sought for some pre-
yentive for this fatal disease
Hitherto it has been counted money
thrown away to bring blooded BULL
and heifers here from the North
as they invariably sickened ant
died during the first summer.
