Three Fine Herds Of Cattle 10
Be Put 10 the Slaughter.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Government Inspector Orders the killing
Of Affected and Exposed Animals In the
Town Of Lincoln.

SO virulent has the foot and mouth
disease among cattle become In Lincoln
that yesterday three fine herds containing
effected animals were condemned and all
consigned to the slaughter. healthy a.
well as sick.
Yesterday DIR. Volgenau Of Washington.
agent OF the United States board of agri-
culture. accompanied by State Inspector
Pollard. went TO Lincoln and examined
the effected herds in accordance with tho
provisions of the new law which has been
passed within few days by the United
States government. In order to more ef-
fectually stamp out the foot and mouth
disease.
The herd at the Lincoln town farm.
comes under the list of those condemned
yesterday.
Five OF these cows were taken with
the disease last week, and yesterday,
when the order was given for their
slaughter by the officials. those affected
were on the road TO recovery.
The herd contains some OF the best bred
animals in the town, but the law had to
be compiled with, and terms of agree
ment as to price were reached between
the government officials and the agent
OF the town.
The keeper of the farm was awarded
the contract TO dig the trench for their
burial. and when this is done, butchers
|! will be rent on to slaughter the arimals.
The same conditions prevailed at the
| farms OF John Cullen. who had a herd
| of 70 cows, and Ira Angel. whose herd
contained n head, both places having
been visited by the agents earlier In the
| day.
SO stringent Is the new law that II one
animal in herd has the disease. the
entire herd is marked for the slaughter
This Is considered by the authorities az
the only, manner In which to effectually
get rid OF the trouble.
In cases where the cattle are thus con-
demned the owner will be reimbursed for
the loss of his property to a certain ex-
tent, the funds for this purpose to be
taken from the special appropriation
made for that purpose a few days ago
by congress.

| an appraiser In the employ Of the gov
! ernment, who Is an expert In such mat

| The law requires that the place In
| which the carcass is buried shall be eight
feet In depth. and that at least four feet
| of earth shall be on top of It. The ak
psnse of this is all borne by the United
States government. as is also that of a
| thorough fumigation OF the buildings
where the cattle were housed previous to
being slaughtered.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.

The great events of the week were the
governors official reception at the CAPT
tai and the succeeding ball at the armory.
These were deathless events, which will
live as long as the historical society does
business at the old stand. The former,
of course, was in charge of Q. G. and
A. and l. General Gilmore, (all our men)
assisted by the 13-inch rifled staff. The
duty of the latter-kneesprung under
the weight of gold and jewels-was to
steer the endless line of would-be hand
shakers up to The Presence, announce
their names and shove them into obscur-
ity. One of the members of the staff
forgot for moment that he was a work
of art and not mere human being and
bent little. A cog somewhere in his
machinery slipped, causing a mild and
momentary sensation, but it was soon
forgotten in the crush.
