tuberculosis cases are still asserting
themselves and causing uneasiness in the
minds of farmers, notwithstanding the
appropriation was long ago exhausted.
and this fact in no way operates to dis
courage the disease from attacking the
best specimens in the herd or to leave
alone the poorer animals. DR.. G. r..
Bailey, the State veterinarian, was in
Cornyille Saturday to look after cases,
and found three valuable COWS there
and killed the animals. One was
owned by Fred G. RowelI, the other two
in a herd of eight, owned by Walter M
Greene. Monday he was in Stetson, called
there to test steer owned by Hon. John

nations, as in this case, are equivalent to
elections Of course there were sap
pointments, but there was no inclination
to do anything but Loyalty accept the re-
suits of the ballots. The action of the
convention in refusing to seat tine contest
ing delegation from Deering was Doubt
less wise under all the circumstances.
Though substantial justice would have
been done in this case. and the wishes of
the Republican voters as expressed at the
polls been better met by seating the con-
testants, still such action would have es-
tablished a precedent for going behind
the caucus returns which might have
proved very troublesome in the future.
With such a precedent future county con-
ventions might be appealed to by
parties who claimed that caucus had
not fairly reflected the views of the voters
to inquire into it. and perhaps reverse its
decision. This would give no end Of
trouble and would as often defeat the
ends of justice as promote Them

The old stallion Hiram Drew, Jr. !,
owned by Emery o. Stantial of Brooks,
died recently at the age of &c years and
10 days. Tie was a grandson of Old Diri-
go, formerly owned by Charles McKen-
ney of Monroe He was never driven by
anyone except of the family and was
never bought or sold. He was smooth
and sound and perfectly well until three
days before he died. He left a large
number of colts distinguished for their
style and action. the Drew type predomi-

strongest horses for his weight ever seen.
All his life he has been kept at Mr..
Stantials farm at West Brooks, and he
will be missed almost as much as per-
son would be.

owner and the present lessee of the
premises, Isaac d. Boyce, and his attor

vate Detective Smith and few special
watchmen to compel Mrs. Boyce to give
them possession. At one time it looked as
though they would be victorious but late
at night the lady had driven out their
watchman and herself held full sway.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Pack, Mr.. Hen
sey, Detective Smith and a carpenter pro-
ceeded in a body on the studio and forced
the door with chisel and Jimmy. While
they were engaged in this work Mrs.
Boyce appeared in the hall and sent her
little son back into her apartments,
which are in the rear of the studio, for

the suggestion of Detective Smith she
returned it to its place in her rooms and
used no violence.

they had regained possession of the
studio none of them would volunteer TO
stay in it. Finally a colored man was
found who agreed to remain in the studio
all night and guard 1t. About O'Clock,
however, he discovered that he had a
horse somewhere near the navy yard
which needed feeding and he decamped,
leaving Mrs. Boyce again in possession.
She says that the papers in the transfer
have not been shown to her and she has
seen nothing to lead her to believe that
her husband, VINO is out of the city, has
sold out 10 Mr.. Pack. On the other
hand, the letter claims that he has pur-
chased the studio and outfit, and he
claims the right TO use it. 1t is probable
that the case will be taken into court.

D0INGS OF CONGRESS
Abstract of the Important Pro.
ceedings.

In the House on May Representative
James Hamilton Lewis, the urbane states
man from Washington, was responsible for
an oratorical fray. The House had been
pegging away at private bills, which were
of so little interest that the members of the
Committee on Claims had difficulty in
maintaining quorum. Rising to one Of
his brilliant attacks on the bonded interest,
Mr.. Lewis quickly set the Democratic
clans clashing, and he and Representa-
tive Amos Cummings, of New York, locked
horns in personal colioGuy. He accused
Mr.. Cummings OF voting with the Republi-
cans on the revenue measure, and Mr..
Cummings got back at him. with pointed
reference to the fine clothes of 1.-The gentle
man from Washington and with further
political repartee. The Democrats cheered
on Mi. Lewis and the Repub licans cheered
| on Mr.. Cummings.
Speaking of his support of the revenue
measure embodying the bond provision,
Mr.. Cummings said it was better to author
ize the President to issue bonds in the
nature of a popular loan than to deny the
express authority. If the bond issue by a
Democratic Administration. made neces-
sary in time of profound peace, had re-
suited in loss of 5000 900, it was les
son and mandate now to guard against
probably a greater loss and a greater
ground for scandal than that resulting
from the Cleveland bond issue.
Mr.. Cummings reference to the last
Administration as Democratic brought a
/ storm of protests from Democrats, and Mr..
| Cummings plowed through the storm to
! cry that he had been thrice nominated by
! Democratic National Conventions by dele
gates with their eyes open to the TACT that
their candidate bore a gold badge.
Mr.. Clark Mo, d. made a vicious at
tack upon ex-President Cleveland and
denied that he was Democrat.
Addressing the epublican side, he said
they talked of the war as Repu blican
war. This he denied. 1--WE took you by
