Typhoid from Chinese Truck.

Vancouver, b. G, Jan. i7.--Dr. Fa-
gan, the medical health Inspector To-:
British Columbia, has investigated the
cause of the prevalence OF tynhoid fe-
yer in certain sections of British CO.

mates that the germs Of the disease are
introduced into households by the Chi

In every household where typhoid
germs had claimed victim quantities
of Chinese vegetables had been con
sumed. He then visited the Chinese
market gardens and found them cess
pools of filth.
All the gardeners kept pigs and tins

AUSTRAl|A'S NEW Plan
PREMIER BARTON STATES
HIS FUTURE POLICY
Protective Tariff for Revenue Abso-
lutsly Necessary--Labor Legisla-
tion--Trans- Continental
Railroad.

Sydney. N. s. W., Jan. l7.-Edmund
Barton, Premier of the Australian
Commonwealth. began the federal cleo
ton campaign at Maitland this evening
with an address before a public meet
ing. at which several Ministers were
present. His speech disclosed the poll
cy of the Federal Ministry.
The Federal elections, Barton said,
would be held at the earliest possible
date. and decision taken regarding
the new Federal capital. In his opn-
ion. Parliament could not be success
fully carried on either at Melbourne or
Sydney. as It's deliberations ought to
be removed from surrounding provln-
cial influences.
He expressed the opinion that the
commonwealth would acquire the rail-
ways at an early date. and he said that
whether the debts of the several states
should be taken over before the rail-
ways was matter now engaging the
attention Of the Treasurer.
Discussing fiscal questions, Barton
observed that when uniform tariff
was imposed the commonwealth would
have the exclusive power of imposing
customs and excise duties. and that
therefore 1t would be necessary to pre-
serve for the separate states the power
of direct taxation, as there must be nc
direct taxation by the commonwealth
except under very great pressure.
Free trade under the constitution
would be practically impossible" con-
| tinued the Premier. because a very
large customs revenue is requisite ,-bu,
our policy will be protective and moi
prohibitive. First of all. the tariff
ought to be considerable Of existing in
dustries. So far as the preferential
duty on British goods Is concerned w
shall be glad to reciprocate where DOS
sible, but this Is a question requirin,
very serious consideration"
Outlining the projected Legislation
Barton said 1t included bill for tn
Cancellation and arbitration Of labo
disputes. a bill to exclude the Asiati
races. a bill to establish woman SUI
frage and a bill for the construction q
a transcontinental railway. which, h
argued, would be Of great value iron

A Description Of Docking.

The following description of dock
ing comes from Lansing, Mich.
where bill to stop it is now before
the Michigan legislature:
s'The skin is first cut all around
Just below where the bone is to be
severed and is then pushed back so
as to leave flap. After the bone
has been sawed through, this flap is
brought over the raw stump and
stitched. Now this is all bad enough,
but the refined cruelty is yet to fol-
low. Tbs tail must be made to
stand out straight with the hairs
falling over the stump, because this
is the style that fashion has Siecreed.
The horse is put in his stall, the tail
lis roped up TO a scantling overhead,
Ia weight is attached to prevent ii
going beyond the proper angle, and
in this position the tortured animal
has to stand for ten to fifteen days,
until the tendons have become SC
stiffened that the tail caa neve,
droop again. z
sDocked horses not unfrequently
die Of lockjaw.

unloaded at these two points, for resi-
dent owners, three hundred and sixty
carloads OF stock, aggregating in the
neighborhood of $4,000 head. This, to-
gether with the large numbers that
have passed through to points further
up the road, shows q pretty good bust
ness for the Elkhorn road this season.
And still there are more to follow.
Charley Chadwick came in from the
horse roundup Sunday evening. He
reports progress of roundup as far as
they got. Starting in on north side of
Belle Fourche, opposite. mouth Of Elk
creek, they worked the Elk creek, Box
Elder, RAPID creek and Spring creek
divides to tn efoothills, and wound up
at Downing's Flats, on this side of the
river; from there they crossed the Chey-
enne and worked down as far as Sage
creek, where they disbanded until July
8, when the roundup will be continued
down the east side OF the Cheyenne.

A Tribute Well Deserved.

knew j NJ Hanks for twenty

pleasant hour with him discussing
the things abstract and concrete,
tn 1t men who read delight to dis
cuss; and now that his voice is
hushed want to drop a tear and
a flower upon the grave wherein
he sleeps.
He was man of firm convic-
tions but conciliatory aud compan-
ionable: and he had enough of
learning (Which is saying much)
to make him modest and tolerant
of the opinions of others No
man, ! think, was ever more de-
voted to his family and his friends; {;
aud he never WAS SO happy as
when he was contributing to the
happiness of others. He was
quick tempered and impulsive but
malice was not in him and you
never met him that he did not
have word that was sunshiny-
something that made you feel bet
ter because you had met him
His religion was more pro-
found trust than blind faith.
Some things he did not believe,
but he did believe in Truth, in
Nature, in God, in Man, in the
ultimate triumph of all Good
He was brave man, rugged
man, tender man; and though
we could always cavi and differ

not, | want no better society than
his, and | am willing when the

gone wherever that may be,
