Makes Its Appearance on Ranges OF

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
According to report from there the
cattlemen of the Black Hills region
are threatened with a new danger to
their herds. A mysterious disease
has made it's appearance among their
stock that so far has defied the ef-
forts of the veterinarians to properly
classify or treat it successfully.
AS described the malady usually
manifests itself by excessive purging,
accompanied by the presence OF large
ulcers on the tongue. The affected
animals begin to waste away n soon
afterward die. Calves are the most

We are Of the opinion that the
welfare of the Republican party
is of more concern than the con
tention, that one faction has woz
or lost, in the Senatorial struggle.
Our factional strife has tended to
furnish the Democrats with cour-
age enough to hope that they
might possibly slip into Office.
With a united party such hopes
vanish, and candidates becomes rar-
ity, for the average Democrat will
not run for Office unless he thinks
he has a sure thing. The time has
arrived when there is a chance to
bridge the chasm within the Re
publican ranks, and we think it
should be the supreme effort of the
leaders of both factions to endea-
vor to bring around one party, one
State Central Committee, and one
committee for each of the counties.
That there are some who will try
TO thwart any effort made in the di-
rection Of harmony, IS expected, Of
course. Some peanut politicians
will try to keep alive factional feel
ing, not on any just, solid or SEN
sible ground, but on purely a per
sonal and selfish one. fractional
ism should be, and is, dead, and
ghouls should be prevented from
digging up the remains to parade ,
before the public.

LAST Saturday night the streets
Of Milford were in a deplorable con-
dition. Mud was in abundance.
and to get from one side Of the
street to the other, was like cross
ing a country road. The only
place that was decent for people to
cross, was the stretch of brick paw
ing on Walnut street, South Mil
ford. Yet we hear some people
say, that the streets are all right
when the weather is good" We
admit they are dry; yes, so dry, that
when the wind blows the dust flies
in clouds, playing havoc with the
merchants stock of goods and en-
dangering the eyesight of pedes-
trians.
Walnut street, North Milford.
should be paved with vitrifed brick.
The business interests of North
Milford demand it. Being the
main street of the town, the impress
sion gained by a stranger on view
ing it, is anything but inviting.
The issuance of bonds to make the
needed Improvements, is the only
way out Of the difficulty, and no
objections should be made to that
mode Of procedure for the future
generation, who reap the advantage
Of the Improvements, will have to
pay the bulk of the cost. The town
should wake up and get a move on
i, or else our people will migrate
o some place where live people /
i've.

SIXTEEN BRIDGES GONE.
One OF the Big Items Of Loss by Flood
at Kansas City.


Estimates OF the damage done by
the flood are being reduced. At first
they ranged from SO, 900 900 up, but
now they are all much below that fig
ure. The greatest loss vas OF sixteen
bridges across the Kansas river, all
substantial structures. The Kansas
City packing house plants did not suf-
fer severely. The Cudahy and Schwarz-
child & %Sulzberger plants lost no fresh
meats. The other packers were not so
fortunate, but the buildings are all I'M
injured. At Armour's the fires were
lighted late Friday afternoon. The
wheat and -four in the mills and elevat-
ors was not injured, but $50 carloads
OF grain submerged On the tracks was
ruined.
The railroads began to open cars
Friday, but the greater part Of the
freight cars were still partially COW
cred.
Small st~orekeepers in the flooded
district was ruined and the losses on
buildings are distributed among thous,
ands OF owners No first class modern
building has been ruined.
