Bills But They Went Through without
The May meeting of the city council
was held last evening and lasted all the
evening and until nearly one o'clock this
morning. The salary bill was passed
without change, the appropriations were
made for the ensuing year, action was
begun looking to aid for the families of
the soldiers who enlist from Portland,
and the appropriation for celebration of
Fourth of July was rescinded, the reason
being that in the midst of war the Fourth
might come on day when the flags
should be at half mast The understand
ing is that if the occasion is propitious
a celebration can be arranged, the order
for the appropriation in the interval lying
on the table.
THE MAYOR AND ALDERMEN,
All the members were present.
FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.
Alderman Rounds presented an order
that volunteers forming part of Port
lands quota in the war with Spain be
paid $40 a month from this city treasury
not exceeding three months. Mr.. Rounds
said that today large number of young
men had given up good jobs to enter the
service of the country and for that reason
he presented the order.
Alderman Dow said that he did not
want to throw cold water on any such
plan, but he would like to know if this
order aid been referred to the city solicit
or to see if the city could legally take this
action. IS =
alderman Rounds took this opportuni.
tytGo tell the board again that in his
opinion the city solicitor should be on
hand to give opin ions.
The order was passed but the council
non-concurred and the order with some
what similar one presented in the lower
board by Mr.. Driscoll was sent into con-
ference. At IL. 80 the conference commit
tee reported recommending that both or
ders be referred to the city solicitor for
an opinion as to their legality and
whether the effect of aiding the families
of the volunteers would be to make them
paupers in the eye Of the law.
Mr.. Rounds also presented an ordinance
assuring to city employees who enlist in
the war their present places after they
have been honorably discharged.
The ordinance was then put upon lis
passage. 1t received concurrent action
in the council.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL,
The committsa on estimates presented
report of the amounts needed for the
coming year. The estimates compared
with the appropriations of last year are
as follows:
An order was introduced to pave Han
over street from Portland to Kennebec
with granite blocks. Referred to the com
mittee on public works.

Contagious Sore Eyes Among Cattle.
A bulletin of the Indiana experiment
station says; For the past two weeks
notices have been received by tho sta
ton relative to outbreaks OF sore eyes
among cattle. These reports indicate
that the disease is new to many local
tiles and Of unusual severity In places
where II has occurred before, The
losses are always stated to be large and
the cattle 30 blind and are unable to
Craze and keep out of trouble. The per
cent affected ranges from ten to fifty
per cent OF tho herd. Contagious sore
eyes makes It's appearance by SWELL
Ing OF one or both eyes, a partial or
complete closing Of the lids and q pro-
fuse ilow OF tears. The eye-ball be-
comes innamed. "blood-shot," and In q
Few days the central part Of tho eye
over tho pupil will bulge out. Tho
bullying portion Will DO from the size
OF pea to that Of grain of corn.
Underneath the surface there will DO
a yellowish white color, due to pus.
In some cases the bulgod portion
breaks across. The disease is quite
painful. The principal changes take
place within q week, but 1t requires
about six weeks to run the full course.
The result Is that few are bliBd In
both eyes, many are blind In one eye,
and some escape blindness, but tho
sight, as a rule, is impaired, 1t Inter
feres greatly with grazing during the
time Of the disease, and may perlna-
nently.
Treatment: The disease 10 conta-
gious, and therefore separation Of the
diseased from the healthy should BIO
made as soon as the first symptoms mp
pear. Whenever practical keep the cat
tie up in the stable during tho day and
let them out at night, This can be done
as a rule with cows. The local treat
ment OF the eyes Is to apply one per
cent solution Of atroplne twice a day,
and apply calomel dust once q day. The
calomel can usually be applied by us
ing one Of the small insect busting
boxes A wash Of saturated solution
of boraclc acid has been found to DO
of some service, The attendant should
DO sure to wash his hands with carbol-
ic acid solution, or some other dlsInfec-
tant after giving the treatment, as
there is a possibility of conveying the
disease from cattle to people.

STAND UP FOR KANSAS.
THE TRUTH WILL MAKE US
GRAND AND GREAT.
A few Facts arc Here Given Concerning
the Present State Administration and
Political Notes OF tho Progress OF tho
Campaign ovor tho State.

When Stanley's Lawrence meeting,
Mt which he was to open the campaign
was announced, many people recalled
tho fact that 1T had previously been
stated that the opening would occur in
the enemy's stronghold, and that they
would there demonstrate that tho poo
pie were interested in republican sue
cess this year and that popullsm was
doomed, The opening meeting was
held at Lawrence last Thursday. Ac-
cording to the Topeka journal there
were 1000 people present. The Kan
sas City Times placcs the attendance
at 500; the Kansas City Journal refrains
from giving any figures rs to the at
tendance while tho Topeka Capital
says the attendance was large.
These statements are amusing in
view of the fact that on the sane day
at Pratt in county casting less thun
500 votes, Governor Leedy and Webb
McNall had an audience Of more than
1000 people, Notwithstanding that it
was generally known in advance that
the governors physical condition was
such as would prevent him from speak
ing. 1t should also be rememberC d
that Lawrence, in which Mr.. Stanley's
opening meeting occurred, has popu-
lation of more that II, 900 and that the
republican majority in that city is usu-
ally nearly us large as the aggregate
attendance ut this meeting. The re-
suit Of Mr. Stunley's meeting seems to
show that the people are not much in
terested in republicanism this year.
Mr.. SANKEY'S speech was devoted to
allegations that he republican party
was entitled to the solo credit for the
success with the late war with Spain,
and to wholesale dcnunciation Of
populism and everything connected
with it. He demonstrated that he pro-
poses to make his campaign one Of
abuse of the populists instead Of cdu-
cation along the lines of good govern
ment. Mr.. Stanley complained be-
cause the legislation enacted by the
populists did not benefit every labor
ing man in the state. He admitted
that the legislation which the popu-
lists had given in the interest of the
laborer was good, but that it was in
the interest of SO small portion of
the laborers of the state that it did not
amount to the ful6llment Of pledges
He went back and listed lot of laws
which had been passed almost gen
Grafton ago and long before the pres
emit crop Of republican politicians had
anything to do with state affairs, and
showed that his party was really
friendly to the laboriug man,
He then took NY the record of Supt
McNall and began by saying that he
did not want to dctract from any good
thing that Webb had done. He refer
red TO number OF things which Nc
Nall had done, preceding each state
inent with the word if" as If to cast
a doubt as to whether the things had
really been done or not This was
doubtless done because of the fact that
Stanley knows so little about Kansas
affairs that he really doesn't know
what McNall has done. He pointed out
that If McNall has really done all OF
the things which it was claimed he
had merely done his duty and was not

Indiana Experiment Station; Az
the fair season Is opening II Is I'M
portant to observe all the measures
that can be taken to prevent the spread
OF disease among stock. People do not
exhibit infested stock purposely, but
unknowingly, and at tlmes cause Sc
rious loss. At the last session Of the
State Legislature law was passed re-
quiring the disinfectlon Of swine pens,
the dlsinfeetion of exhibit crates and
swine before unloading and u state
ment that no cholera had been upon
the premises within two months prior
to exhibiting. The law Is defective in
some respects, but has very beneficial
effect, and has met with little opposl-
ton, Last fall flfty-seyen fairs were
held In the state at which hogs were
exhibited, and all but five dlslnfected
their pens. In 1896 losses aggregating
more than $4,000 were directly trace
able to contaglon on fair grounds. Last
year only two reports were made OF
contaglon and the loss was small. In
diana breeders exhibiting In adjoin-
Ing states where such precautions
were not taken brought back disease
and suffered considerable loss. Tho
dislnfecting Of fair grounds should be
done week or more in advance. Re-
move all litter, allow the sun to do as
much as possible and give everything
q coat Of white-wash, or apply solu-
tion Of chloride Of lime, four ounces to
the gallon Of water. The state law
specifies that q ten per cent solution Of
carbollc acid should be used. Use the
acid as q spray twice day during tho
exhibition, A spray pump Is the cas-
lest means for applying dlslnfectant.

One Of the most amusing features Of
Stanley's speech was his reference 20
Dewey in connection with the republic
cans freeing Cuba. This reference will
be all the more amusing when it comes
to be generally known that Admiral
Dewey is one Of the ranliest democratic
who claims citizenship in the United
States, After issuing the regulation
emancipation proclamation TO tho col
ored voters and INDUCING in few
elocutionary gencralties, Mr.. Stanley

prospects OF the coming orange crop
and the disposition to buy supplies TO

that the Southern California Fruit EA-

900 boxes to be used in the packing OF
the coming seasons orange crop. The
figures which show that an enormous
increase In tho production in southern
California is anticipated, will give a
basis for estimates Of the increased
shipments over previous years which
may be looked for. Not only are tho
conditions for full yield favorable.

The most surprising feature Of Can
didate SANKEY'S opening speech was
his utter ignorance of q recent Kansas
history. He referred to Governor
Leedy as having been member Of the
house; talked about Benjamin Harri-
sons administration beginning IN 1894;
told about the admission Of Kansas by
the republican party, when history
shows that IL was admitted about six
weeks before Abraham Lincoln was
inauguratcd, and talked like he really
believed that the colored voter felt
that he was under obligations to the
republican party.

When Judge Williams order re-
straining Attorney General Boyle from
enforcing the Kansas law relative to
the issuing OF scrip and the use Of
screens in the mining districts was
given out in Topeka; G, @, Clemens re-
ferred to it in the following language:
"That thoughtful guardian Of Kansas,
Judge Williams, of Arkansas and tho
universe, having arrived at Manitou,
the executive and judicial branches OF
the state government can now take u
much needed vacation. The govern
ment will kindly take the state Of
Kansas TO his rooms at his Manitou
hotel and wisely care for 1t there, and
see that the reckless little orphan
keeps out of mischief aud breaks no
valuable corporation bric.a-brac dur
ing the heated spell. Seriously, there
can be no doubt about Judge Williams
right and power TO do what he has done
for Kansas coal company He Inns
just as much jurisdiction to enjoiu the
attorney general of Kansas from going
after the rebellous coal mine opera
tors as the probate Judge Of Shawnee
county has to enjoin Dewey from try
ing 10 make AGunaldo be good; and !
hope the attorney general will treat
his injunction with all the respect that
! the supposed injunction by Judge Dol
man would undoubtedly be treated by
Dewey. There has been no doubt that
IL Sheriff Cook should sail across the
sea and, clambering upon the deck OF
the rear admral's flagship, should pre-
sent to that officer a certified copy Of
an injunction bv Judge Dolman telling
the conqueror of Manila to cease in'
terfering with the insurgent chiefs
phiianthropic endeavors to hold up
every body in sight as Kansas mine
operators hold up their miners, Dewey
would send some kind of word back to
Dolman before proceeding to mop up
the earth with Aguinnldo l think
Boyle owes Judge Williams similar

Washington, April 25.-Thc strategic
boards Of the army and navy are be-
ing urged to supplement the pacific
blockade by the taking Of one port on
the north coast OF Cuba md one on
the south c0ast for the purpose of es-
tablishlng juncture with General Go
mez's insurgent troops at Sancti Spir.
titus and with General Garcia's insur-
gent forces In Santiago de Cuba.
With two such bases Of operations
secured, the Cuban authorities here
feel TINT the Cuban forces In the field
and those rcndy to take the field, could
be speedily and effectively equipped
with arms. ammunition and supplies.
1t is said that Gomez and Garcia have
the men and the enthusiasm capable
OF striking nm effective blow, once they
have arms In hand, and that the only
reason for their present inactiOn IL
their failure to have adequate nmmu
milton for n strong forward movement
on the Spanish forces.
Recent conferences between the Gu
ban military officers here and General
Miles leave little doubt thnt the War
Department will equip the Cuban forces
In every way practicable, with the
present heavy demand for arms and
ammunition made by the calling into
active service of the full force of the
army and 125.OOO volunteers. But II
will still be necessary to effect n june
ture with the Cuban forces, and to this
end the suggestion is being made TINT
ports On the north and south coasts OF
Cuba be taken. Action Is likely to fol
low ns soon ns the War Department
feels that 1t is ready to place adequate
supplies of arms and ammunition In
the hands of the Cubans.
