the following: ..
E. Crispin brings suit against the
Oskaloosa Water Co. for damages to
the extent of $4,000. The petitioner
claims that the water company in re

sustained permanent injuries from

Fort Dodge, July 24.-Dr. D. e.
Baughman reports the fact that many
of the large cattle herds of Webster
county are attacked with specific
opthalmia which renders the cattle
blind and causes fat feeders to fall
away in flesh until they resemble
Missouri crow bats. The disease
exists at Badger, Manson, Callended,
Cara and in Humboldt county, and
the farmers call it "pinkeye," as it
resembles to their minds the eye dis
ease of horses, which never affiicts
cattle.

tary of State"
Reply Expected Soon.
The state department and the Chi
nese legation substantially agree in the
estimate of six to eight days as the time
necessary to get a reply to the presi-
dents answer to the appeal of the Chi
nese government. According to the
best information here, urgent messages
are being transmitted between Picking
and Shanghai by the flying express"
mentioned in Consul Fowler's cable
gram few days ago. This, according
to the Chinese, is relay system Of
mounted messengers similar to the old
pony service across the plains, and is
used when the wire communication is
interrupted. The relay riders make
200 miles a day. 1t is 400 miles from
Shanghai to Picking, and this seems to
agree very well with the speed made
in forwarding and returning the Con-
ger message.
Assuming from Sheng's dispatch
that a movement was on foot on the
18th to get the foreign ministers start
cd from Picking to Iientsin under es-
cort of imperial troops, the state de-
partment would not be surprised to
get definite newsof them from the head
quarters of the allied forces in short
time. The distance from Tientsin to
Picking is IS miles, and at this season
the trip is usually made by road from
Picking to Hong Choo, a point on the
Pei-Ho - miles below the capital, and
the remainder of the way by boat. This
trip now would take four days, sup
posing the escort of imperial troops
met with no resistance from the insur-
gents. If the move from Picking was
made within two days after Sheng's
information was received it would be
possible that the legationers and
their escort are now in touch with
the headquarters of the allies, al
ways supposing that nothing serious
happened to the party on the road.
Germnny'S Answer.
Berlin. July 25.-Count Won Buelow
the minister of foreign affairs, made
reply Tuesday to the appeal of the EN-
peror of China for German mediation
between the powers and the Chinese
government. In substance, Count VoI
Buelow said he would not submit the
telegram from the Picking government
so long as the fate of the legations ant
other foreigners in Picking were moi
ascertained and as long as the Chinese
government had not atoned for the
murder of the German minister to Pc
king. Baron Won Ketteler, and giver
guarantees that in future its conduc
will be in harmony with internationa
law and the usages of civilization.

Herald Correspondents.

To HERALD WRITERs:-What do
the correspondents of the HERALD
association think of the annual meet
ing for this year? Shall we have it
on Thursday, September Sat the Fair
Grounds, or shall we meet this year
on some Saturday in Oskaloosa, at
such place as the members with the
editors may elect? My objection to
the meeting at the Fair Grounds is
that so many of US fail in getting there
and to meet at or p. m. is always
just as the big excitement of the af-
ternoon program is going on and it is
hard to hold the members of the as
soeiation together long enough TO
transact business, much less to get
acquainted and have the full benefit
of such a meeting that we should
have. Now 1 desire every member Of
our association to express themselves
fully on this question through the
paper. Give your opinion as to the
time and place for holding the meet
ing. We would like to have a good
meeting this year and have every re-.
porter present so as to get better ac-
quainted. ]. w. DoAK,

THE COWBOY.
Picturesque American Figure Rapidly
Passing Away.

Apicturesque figure in American
life is rapidly passing away, sale
a prominent Texan the other day
II refer to the cowboy of fiction,
the man with the big sombrero, the
bucking droncho and the shooting
iron that he used to operate with
such reckless disregard to conse-
quences as he rode at break.neck
speed through some frontier town,
yelling the while at his loudest.
Such was the cowboy ofdime novel
lore, and though the assetion has
often been denied, he has existed
and does exists in countless
numbers. 1t is this class of the
cowboy that is rapidly disappear
ing. The cowboy Of practial ex-
istance or the cow puncher,' as
he is known in the vernacular Of
the plains, is an important factor
in western life. He wears q SOM.
hrero and can sit bucking .bron-
cho with all the glace of his more
romantic brother, but his shooting
irons are for use in guarding his
herd from cattle thieves rather
than the terrorization Of peaceful
citizens. and he is as hard worked
and industrious citizen as you
will meet in days travel. In
stead Of leading the wild life Of
nomad, be is more likely TO have
a wife and several young hopefuls
at the ranch house. He works
hard because he has to, and if his
guns are even taken from his hol-
sters it is for the same reason, We
have great many more undesire-
able citizens in this country than
the Texas COW puncher. Tulsa

'cIalre" Fully Up 10 the Recommen-
datlons Throughout.

IL seems for some reason that The
theatre-gong people Of VlnIta allow
the best companies TO play TO empty
chairs comparatively speaking) and
then ''get caught" on the "thlnnest'
aggregatlons that come this way.
The Ruble company presented last
night at the opera house the beantl-
ful society drama "Claire' In a superb
manner The play is not an old one
hashed over aud renamed, but is new
aud sparkling throughout, and though
1--WE regret 60 say was witnessed by a
small audience, was 'lfe-size' from
beginning TO end. Unlike some COM
panies. the Ruble people dad not
"butcher" their play because Of the
small attendance, but sought TO sus-
tain their enyiable reputation, and
each member played their respective
role with vim, gaining for them
selves additional favor with those who
witnessed the first evenings bill. The
specialtics-the singing, ETC., were
excellent and were given hearty
encore.
Tonight will close their engage
ment here, and they will put on a
COmcdy-druma in four acts, "BesSies
Fortune" We sincerely hope that
every seat in the opera house will be
filed. We would like to see this oom-
pany, on their farewell night, given
sufficient encouragement to cause
them to return TO Vinila in more
favorable theatre season, for it is, with
possibly two exceptions, the best COM
pany that has ever played in Byrd-Ada
opera house.
