An Object Lesson to Grant.

This story is told of the first time
Grant ever had charge of large body
Of men sent out to give battle. He was
colonel in the early part Of 1862, de-
tailed to go to the relief of an Illinois
regiment, supposed to be surrounded
by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo-, but
when he arrived the regiment had re-
lieved itself by retiring. Grant then
went out to Florida, in the same state,
and as the regiment toiled over the hill
beyond which the enemy was supposed
to be in waiting Grant says he would
have "given anything to be back again
in illinois,"
At tie top Of the hill, instead Of
troops drawn up in battle array, Grant
saw a deserted camp. "It occurred to
me at once that Harris had been as
much afraid Of me as I had been Of
him." said Grant From that event to
the close of the war I never experience
ed trepidation upon confronting an en-
emy, though always felt more or less
anxiety. I never forgot that he had as
much reason to fear my forces as
had his ."-Syracuse Post-Standard.

FOR KILLING JAMES AYRES.
Trial of Mrs. Lola Bonine Begins at
Washington.

IffaI OF MrS. Lola BONNIE Begins at
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 20.-The trial of
Mrs. IIolo Ida Bonine, on an indict-
ment for murder of the young census
clerk, James Seymour Ayres, Jr., in
the 1atter's room at the Kenmore ho-
tel in this city last May, began dur
ing the day before Justice Anderson
in criminal court No. 1. The case
was set for 10 O'Clock but it was sew
era1 minutes afterwards before either
the judge or the prisoner appeared in
the courtroom. Mr.. Bonine and Mrs.
Meacham, husband and sister of the
accused, were early occupants of the
seats reserved for Mrs. Bonine'S eS-
pecial friends, as were the five attor-
neys engaged for the defense. At
1910 Mrs. Bonine appeared in the
courtroom, accompanied by the vet
eran guard, James w. Springman.
She walked in so quietly that her en-
trance was scarcely noted and took a
seat beside her husband, just back of
her counsel, and in front of her sister.
She smiled as she greeted her sister
and the latter placed her arms gently
about her as she sank into her seat.
the names of witnesses and of jurors
were disposed of Mrs. Bonine was
asked to stand up and plead to the in
dictment. She listened calmly to the
reading Of the document and when 1t
was concluded, pleaded mot guilty" in
low but distinct tones.
After brief statement of the case
by Judge Anderson the examination of
jurors was begun and when the court,
at 1880, adjourned for the day, the
panel was exhausted.
Mrs. Bonine was apparently as calm
as any of the spectators during the
proceedings. She spoke frequently
with her husband and sister and only
once or twice with her attorneys. Dur
ing part of the day her two boys, re
spectively Is and 13 years of age,
were in the courtroom.

FATAL CATTLE DISEASE.
Alex. Dryden's Herd Affected
by a Disease Which
Battles the
Physicians.

The HERALD'S Birchdale corespon-
dent states the death of five head of
cattle on the farm Of Alex. Dryden by
a disease which proves unerringly
fatal in a very short time. The state
Board of Health was notified, and DIR.
S, D. Brunhall, director of the Veti-
nary department Of the Board, and
whose authority is of the highest came
here at once to investigate. The
animals all died within a few hours
from the time they were taken sick and
in two or three cases animals that
were apparently healthy at night were
found dead in the morning. A disease
known as the ''eornstalk disease" has
manifested itself to considerable ex-
tent in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.
Animals turned into fields of standing
corrstalks were found dead in the field.
This disease is not yet we'll defined,
nor has its cause been definitely de-
termined, but enough is known Of it
says DR.. Brunhall, to justify the posi-
tive assertion that Mr.. Dryden's cattle
were NOT victims OF it. The technical
name of the disease on the Dryden
place is hamorrhagic septicarmia-
and while not Identical with, closely
resembles the swine pest which pre-
vailed in this Vicinity to degree two
years ago. The disease was recog-
nizee and defined first about thirty
years ago in Germany. Its first ap-
pearanee in this country was in Ten
nessee in 1898, and no other cases
were reported until August, 1900, when
an outbreak occurred at Newport
Minn., near St. Paul. Last year there
were eight outbreaks in Minnesota,
one at Clarissa, seperate from each
other by such distances as to preclude
the possibility of contagion.
Sixsy-four animals were effected in
herds numbering altogether 16O-eyery
animal effected died, and 40 per cent
of the herds were victims of it.
The progress of the disease has been
try any medical remedies. Experiment
are being made, as opportunity pre-
sents, with virus incubation. DR..
Brunhall lays down the following
course of procedure in case the disease
breaks out in any herd:
The healthy cattle should be re-
moved from the infected pastures at
once. Division of the herd into small
groups or individuals, with isolation
of each. would be very desirable, and,
where possible, should be done. Car
casses should be promptly burned or
deeply buried, and the ground where
they lap should be covered with straw
or hay which should be burned until
the ground is thoroughly heated.
When cattle die in the stable all con-
tamip ated litter should be burned.
The stable floor should be thoroughly
saturated with 5 per cent solution of
carbolic acid. The walls and all wood
work should be thoroughly white
washed with freshly Stacked lime.
Corrosive sublimate l to 1000 may be
substituted for the carbolic acid.
He furthermore ADVISES complete
and thorough drenching of the walls
and stalls af all stables with whitewash.
The best way of applying it is with a
force spraying pump, which may be
bought for from one to three dollars.
A barrel of lime will make sufficient
whitewash for stable of fifty cattle.

The Water Carnfvora.


The number of carnivorous creatures
found in the water seems out of all
proportion to the usual order of nature,
but this is perhaps because the minute,
almost invisible creatures of which the
rivers and ponds are full and which are
the main food of the smaller water car
nivora, live mainly on decaying vege-
table substance, which is practically
converted and condensed into micro
scopical animals before these become
in turn the food of others.
1t is as if all the trees and grass on
land were first eaten by locusts or
white ants and the locusts and white
ants were then eaten by semicarnivo-
rous cows and sheep, which were in
turn eaten by true carnivora. The wa
ter weeds, both when living and decay
ing. are eaten by the entOmostraca, the
entomostraca are eaten by the larvH
of insects, the perfect insects are eaten
by the fish and the fish are eaten by
men, otters and birds.
Thus we eat the products of the wa
ter plants at four removes in a fish,
while we eat that Of the grass or tur-
nips only in the secondary form-beef
or mutton.

City 10 Not Out a Penny as Result
Of His Administrations
Of the Treasurer's Accounts Now
In Progress.
Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 20.-Mayor Diehl
has suspended City Treasurer Philip
Gerst from Office.
In the notice of suspension the may
or charges Mr. Gerst with misconduct
in Office and with having kept inaccur-
ate and false accounts, and specifically
charges that from the accounts Of the
city treasurer the amount Of cash on
hand to the credit of the city Is $780,
900 in excess Of the actual amount.
The examination of the treasurer's
accounts, which has been in progress
for several days, will be continued.
Specifically the mayor charges that
Treasurer Gerst borrowed from banks
upwards Of $4,000 with which to Gov
er up the shortage in his accounts at a
time when an examination was to be
made; that in August last he loaned
the banks $4,000 Of the city's money
and that at various times during the
current year he appropriated to his
own use moneys belonging to the city,
the aggregate of such sums being $4,-
246. After he had been served with no
tice of removal Mr. Gerst said to a
reporter:
II don't care to discuss the matter
in detail at present. The books Of my
Office are undergoing an examination
by an expert accountant and the result
Of that examination will show that ev-
cry cent of the city's money is in the
banks or in the Office OF the treasurer

ing the charges of the mayor the city
of Buffalo has not lost penny

fee of treasurer.
Mayor Diehl declined to talk on the
matter further than to say, in reply to
a query as to whether Mr.. Gerst had
attempted to explain the shortage or
offered to tell what use he had made
# the money he is alleged to have ap-
propriated:
Il believe he has accounted for the
$4,000, but so far as know has made
no effort to explain his use of the
small amounts. I believe his bonds

One of Mr.. Burrows
Renowned Practical Jokes.

Everybody knows the genial broker
and commission merchant OF Phoenix
Mr. Jno. L. Burrows, because Mr.. Bur-
rows geniality makes him cosmopolitan
in nature and keeps him from growing
local. Mr.. Burrows presence in Tucson
today brings to mind the little joke he
perpetrated upon an acquaintance whose
name We will suppose to be Smith. Mr..
Smith came from New York to Phoenix
and registered very naturally at the
Adams as "Mr. Smith, New York" But
this did not strike the vein of humor in
Mr.. Burrows nature. The latter wanted
Mr.. Smith OF New York to get out of
the ordinary and take on his unroman-
tic name a touch of the unusual. So the
chuckling broker eFasedthe words "New
York and made brief substitution
which read something like this: "Mr.
J. Smith, County Farm" And MIR.
Burrows is still living. 1t is not officially
stated that Smith chased Mr.. Burrows
out of Phoenix and down to Tucson, but
then we have an opinion.

OF the feir-aPparent's title. 1t was sup

which belongs only to son born of q
king, would be conferred upon tlEe Duke
OF York, but the Gazette announcement
seems to indicate that this viii not be

News Of Uprising
Are Confirmed.

SorTH McCALLIsTEg, /. T.. Jan. 25.--
Yesterday reports OF Choctow uprising
were fully confirmed. Scouts sent ont
from this city last night report that th Q
dissatisfied Choctaws have q number oil
Greek Snakes among them and they
have beeH-qnietly organizing and arming
for some time. They call themselves
Choet4w Snakes. They comprise all
those Indians who are opposed to
allotment, and the conflict is between
them and the treaty Indians. While
non-eitizens are not in dangerit is stated
that the Snakes have planned to destroy
all the railroads in their nation by burn
ing their bridges and section houses on
pre-coneerted night. They have de-
posed Governor Duke and issued an or
der to all citizens TO cease leasing or
renting to the whites. The first offensa
they will punish with fifty lashes; they
say ears, will be cut off for the second
offence and death for the third. They
have organized and have leaders in
every Choctaw county and claim to have
a membership OF 26o0.
United States Marshal Grady has
sent the leaders word that arrests will
follow the FIRST violation of law, no mat
ter what may be the result. He has
wired the department for permission to
swear in special deputies and if the re-
quest is granted he says he will be able
TO handle them and will not ask for
troops. There is to be meeting of full
bfoods on Saturday and the marshal
says he will attend il he can and give
the Indians a talk. The Indians are
riding over the country in bands Of five
or six, serving their notices.
General Superintendent Harris, of the
Choetaw railway, who was here last
night, from Little Rock, has enjoined
special watchfulness upon all employees
of the line in Indian Territory.
