FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Again Breaks Out in Argentinc-Export .8ss of Animals Forbidden.

Washington, May 1.-The state de- pertinent has notified the department of agriculture that the foot and mouth dis ease has again broken out in the Argen- tine Republic, and that Argentine has prohibited exrortation of animals from that country. Secretary Wilson views the outbreak with great concern and says that is the disease once gets a foothold on the open ranges in Argen- tina the results inevitably must be seri- ous to the livestock industry there. A part of the fight against the epidemic in New England has been made with a view to keeping the disease from spreaking into the west where the greatest danger would exist. The foot and mouth disease is not new to the Ar genuine Republic. The British govern ment quarantined against Argentina on this account for about two years, but the quarantine was removed several weeks ago..
 Secretary Wilson to-day received word of fresh outbreak of the disease in a heard located at Birmingham, Mass. It was decided by the department officials that the epidemic should be wiped out in New England. Secretary Wilson said to-day that he had contemplated lifting the quarantine altogether from New England a fortnight. but that action must now be postponed indefinitely. The quarantine has been lifted from all the states originally involved except Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire, and it is impossible to foretell in view of the ap- preaching warm weather, when the re- strictive measures against these states can be removed.

to work on the day scale but you (Mr.

day scale. I don't care what basis they
work on. All l want of them is that
they should work. 1 think that where

Pennsylvania Concern
VALUABLE COAL PROPERTY

VALUABLE COAL PROPERTY

The Palos Coal and Iron company has
sold all it's properties, holdings and rights
to the Lancaster Coal and Iron company
of Pennsylvania the price paid being
500. 900.
The Palos Coal and Iron company was
owned by d. M. Drennen, w. M. Dren-
men, F. M, Drennen, II. A. Drennen and
the estate of William Drennen. The
owners were the same as those of the
firm of Drennen and company but as the
two were separate corporations the mer-
camille firm is not affected
The properties of the Palos company
consisted of 1000 acres Of land near Palos
which is about twenty miles west of Bir-
mngham on the Frisco railroad, and
some valuable coal mines with their
equipment. There are three openings at
these mines. two of which are now being
worked and the daily output averages
about 400 tons per day.
The owners of the property are men of
unlimited means and it is understood
they will Immediately make great i'm
provements at the mines so as to ma
terially increase the output. They have
had representatives in the district for
several days going over the property to
make an estimate of its value.
Mayor Drennen, who went to Blount
Springs last night. said that the deal had
gone through and that the papers had
all been signed. The coal mined at Palos
is a very superior quality for steam pur-
poses and for making coke. The vein
underlying the property which has Just
been transferred is said to be one of the
best in the district.
