EDITOR NEws-Plcase accept
my thanks for sending me copy
of the first mum Der of the MEADE
COUNTY News. I expected you
would print a respectable paper,
but l find it even better than l
had anticipated. The general
appearance of the paper is good.
Advertisements are quite attract
i've. Items of news are numer-
Gus as could be expected in a
county of only about fifteen hum
dred inhabitants.
But why were no thefts, rob-
bevies and murders narrated?
Obviously becausenone had been
committed.
was glad to see your selection
from the late Col. R. G. Ingerso1l
on the Philippine war. That
kind-hearted man says in respect
to our war for the preservation
of our Union, (U. S.: 81 have one
sentiment for the soldiers, cheers
for the living and tears for the
dead" Regarding the boys who
are falling in the Philippines he
says: sit is in order to flood their
graves with tears" "These new
made graves are numberless as
the stars" ''It is a war, not in
the name of liberty, but against
it. Our soldiers are not to blame,
therefore we ought to dtench
their bier with tears" Men are
not all of one mind. While Mr..
Ingersoll wept, I rejoiced in the
war for humanity. I am heartily
glad that, at last, one nation, the
United States, has said to another
to Spain, your misru1e, your
tyrannica1 treatment must stop
But many other men-repub1i-
cans like Mr.. Ingerso1l, think ou1
war against the Philippines is al
wrong, all wickedness. Senator
Hoar regards the war as so abom.
Unable that it will prove our OWL
ruin. His words were about as
follows: IF the United States
takes and holds the Philippine
Islands, this republican govern
ment will end with the admins
tration of VIM. Mckinley"
think he put in a qualifying wort
or two like this, "holds them as
dependencies" l suppose he
meant holding them just in the
way we are holding them now
If on or before the 4th of mex
March our United States govern
ment explodes and ceases to ex
list. Mr.. Hoar will be proved /;
true prophet Let us wait anc
see. March 4 is not far off.
Finally, l will say like the de
termination you express in your
prospectus, namely, to favor al
tbs best interests and welfare O
the people of Meade county.
WARREN STOWE.
[Mr. Stoves ideas are all RICH
in regard to Cuba, but there is /;
question in regard to the war il
the Philippines being in the in

SAVING THE YOUNG.

Dysentery or scours occurs fire.
quently in calves, pigs, lambs, foals,
dogs and cats, attacking the young
when to days old. No doubt
the disease is infectious, hence ex-
crements should be removed often.
The symptoms in all kinds of animals
are much the same, shown by loss
of appetite, diarrhea, restlessness,
and cries of distress. Later, excre-
ments become watery, mixed with
mucous and coagulated milk and
blood. If animals recover, they are
weak and unthrifty for long time.
Prevention consists in the isola-
ton of the healthy and diseased ami
mails, disinfection of barns and the
female genital organs before and
after parturition. Calves and lambs
already attacked should be given 2
or 3 tablespoonfuls of castor oil,
colts to 3 grains calomel three
times a day. The calomel, after
being ground with little sugar, may
be added to a little milk and fed tc
the colt. The next day, or after the
oil has had its effect, give the follow.
ing: Powdered rhubarb root I dr.,
powdered magnesium carbonate, Il
grains, powdered opium, 80 grains,
good brandy or whiskey OF. Mix.
dilute with equal parts water, shake
well and give to calf at one dose, re-
peating similar dose every 3 to
hours until the diarrhea is relieved
In the same manner colts may BIZ
given I to ~ DIR. tincturc of opium
lambs 80 to 90 drops, repeating The
dose, as above, every 3 to 6 hour:
until relieved. Prof. Paul Fischer

The Time Draws Near.

The Austin Reuelie says:
Frank, the Indian murderer, now in
the county Jail has begun to realize the
position he is in, that he is to be hung
on the Goth inst. He spends most of
his time in crying and bewailing his
fate. The only thing that has not
failed him is his appetite, and he eats
as much now as he did when occupied
in hay field.
The Sheriff has received rope and a
black cap, two of the essential things
in hanging, and the scaffold and en-
closure will be erected within a few
days.

THE INDIANS WILL HELP.
Joe Pete Will Likely be Arrested 500

Joe Pete Will Likely be Arrested Soon.
AT daybreak last Monday morning a
crowd of men from Carson Valley and
Alpine county surrounded the Indian
camps at Woodfords, Markleeville and
the Diamond Sawmill. A thorough
search was made in all the camps for
Joe Pete, the Indian who killed Will
Dangberg on the 9TH of last September,
but the Indian had been warned of the
coming ofthe searching party and the
search was unsuccessful.
After the men had examined every
roll of blankets in each of the camps
and were convinced that Joe Pete had
skipped, an interview was had with
Captain Pete Mayo, and he was finally
persuaded to come to Gardnervile and
meet the other captains of the Washoe
tribe. The four captains held meet
ing and consultation here Tuesday
with number of prominent citizens of
Carson Valley.
The captains entered into an agree
ment with the whites to capture Joe
Pete within three weeks. They say
they do not know where he is at pres
ent; he may be in Washoe county, or
in Long Valley, Lassen county, Cal,
but they promise to find him and give
him up to some white man in Alpine
county. This white man, Captain
Mayo says, will probably be an ac-
quaintance of Joe Pete, and will be
selected by Pete to take him to Genoa
or Carson. The citizens present at the
meeting agreed that Joe Pete should
have a fair and impartial trial and that
good lawyers would be employed to
defend him.
The captains appear to be very much
in favor of bringing Joe Pete to justice
and say they will put forth every effort
to catch him within three weeks. They
seem confident that they will get him.
Captain Pete Mayo is Joe Pete's
uncle. The Captain called at the CoUR-
Ter Office Wednesday morning. He
says he wants Joe Pete to give himself
up and wants him protected under the
white mans law. The Captain and
Joe Pete are not on friendly terms,
having had some trouble at Blue Lakes
last summer The Captain says he has
not seen Pete since the murder but
sent word to him twice to give himself
up.
The white people have broken into
Captain Mayo's camp twice while look
ing for Joe Pete, and the Captain does
not like it, He says the trouble will
last for twenty years if Joe Pete is not
caught, and that the Indians will find
him now and have him give himself up.
Joe Pete has large number of rela-
tives and the Captains do not like to
hunt him down for fear they will get
into serious trouble themselves. But
they are confident the best thing Pete
cln do is to give himself up and say
they can persuade him to do so assoon
as they have a chance to talk with him.
Although few are skeptical, many
white people believe the captains can
control Pete and that they will cause
his arrest within the time limit. The
search for Pete is causing the Indians
a great deal of trouble, and Pete is a
fugative in the mountains in constant
fear of being taken. The leading In
dams seem to understand now that
the best thing Pete can do is to stand
trial for his crime and believe Pete will
be of the same opinion when he is con-
suited and told that he will be given a
fair trial.

All Sing, Mgr.

Last Sunday night as d. L. Jones,
Jas Brockliss and VIM. Bennett were
going TO Woodfords to investigate the
Indian camps, an Indian known as
Charlie Johnson came up behind them
on horseback riding very fast. They
asked him where he was going and he
said he was going for a doctor. The
boys told him to ride along with them,
which he did for time, but afterwards
his horse Jagged behind n little and he
left his horse and jumped over cliff,
cutting his leg above the ankle and
breaking his little finger. Mr.. Bennett
covered him with his gun, but the boys
told him not to shoot. The Indian
waded the river and went to an Indian
camp near Mr.. Heimsoth's place. The
boys had an idea that the Indian was
on his way to warn Joe Pete of their
approach
