BUFFALO IS RECOVERING
City Getting Over Depressing
Effects of Presidents Fate.
ExPosITIoN's SUCCESS IN DOUBT

President Miiburn Says the Work Was
Close to MckinIey's Heart-South
Americans Interest Never Before So
Intense.
Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 23.-Ths city is
pulling itself together again after
fortnight of anxiety and sorrow, such
as it has never known What was IN
tended to be the gala period of its his
tory was turned into unspeakable s.iet
which has gone into every home with
force hard for any one not here to
realize. Buffalo was full of personal
loyalty and enthusiasm for President
Mckinley. 1t has been a center of Nc
Kinley sentiment all through his pub
lie career and there was no city in the
country where friendship and devotion
for him was more marked Naturally,
his tragic end, while it's guest, de-
pressed the city beyond expression.
When. in his memorable address the
president emphasized the Pan-Ameri-
can idea and made it part of history,
the people of Buffalo realized that their
efforts were appreciated They seemed
contented and proud that as individu
ais of one city they had done the work
which might well have been the ma
tions undertaking. The revulsion was
terrible, and now that it is passed the
question of what is to come is interest
ing. The people seem to feel that the
exposition must be carried to glori-
Gus finish as a labor of P 'iotism and
of love. President Milburh tut this
thought very strongly. He said:
There must be no faltering in our
efforts now, considering how much the
success Of the PanAmerican eXposi
tion means to the development OF
closer political and commercial rela-
tions between the peoples of the west
ern hemisphere. That was policy
earnestly favored by President Mckia-
ley and which interested him so deeply
in the exposition from its first insep-
tion. 1t Is a strange stroke of fate that
the success of the exposition should be
threatened through the fearful tragedy.
We should be lacking in loyalty to his
ergies to crowning the work which he
had so close to his heart.
There are six weeks more of the
life of the exposition, and it is in the
full bloom of it's beauty and interest
Every feature Of ii has been developed
to its highest point and il is being
operated on a more elaborate scale
than ever. 1t is a complete mass Of
varied activities and entertainments
more than adequately carrying out its
terprise and should be supported as
such for the credit of our country as
the leading nation of this hemisphere
That support / feel certain, it will
have in fullest and overlooking meas
ure"
Referring to President Milburn's
statement, Director General Buchanan
said that no previous exposition had
the countries of South and Central
America taken as deep personal inter-
est in the success of an exposition as
they had in this one; that this was e5-
pecially true Of Chilli. which had ex-
pended upon a building and an exhibit
here half a million dollars, and equally
so of Cuba which for the first time in
her history stood independent in
great exposition, within a magnificent
building OF her own, filed with her
natural resources and products.

Disease Among Horses.

Major L. p. Bowen. the vet.ocry
surgeon of Tazewell, has been kept
very busy for some time looking sitter
sick stock in various part OF the
county. While there is no general
epedemic or serious trouble amo, z
the cattle, the Major says there is a
disease among the horses, which is
more or less serious. He was called
to the Young farm last week where
be found five horses sick with kiud
of disease which he had not seen be-
fore. The animals break outin sores,
and the hair comes off the entire
body. The disease seems to be CON
tagious among the horses, and one
of the men on the farm says that be
caught the disease from the horses
1t is not an unheard of thing at all
for diseases among stock to be com
municated to human beings, and too
much care cannot be taken in such
cases, to avoid contagion. And while
on the subject it should be said,
that Major Bowen is filling a place
in the community which few men
are capable of filing. Little IS known
generally, of the diseases Of animals,
and how to treat them is a still
greater puzzle. If any proof of this
is needed ask your neighbors, even
the cattle and stock men, what TO do
for a sick horse. The field occupied
by Major Bowen ls one of wide
range and great usefulness.

father clause" 90 much talked of and
ridiculed, too, in the early part of
the discussion of the question. We
have no idea that sDch a clause will
be or should be inserted in the new
law. How does Col Richmond hope
to reach one class OF voters with a
property or educational qualification
and not include other members of
the same class without running con-
trary to the federal constitution?
Such an attempt would be so palpa-
bly, and Enthusiastically, in its intent
and purposes, a violation of the
Fifteenth Amendment as to doom it
to defeat
An educational or property qualifi-
cation, or both, would meet the case,

approval of the whole country.
