Rapid City Journal Of the 9th Of Feb.
Mr.. Hughes is at present sojourning at a
place called La Jolla, about Is miles from
San Diego, Cal. 1t is here that "our
Dick" is resting for a season, free from
the boom of the blasts, and the exploit
ing of dark caverns in the bowels of the
earth. He sits with his amiable wife on
the balcony of his hotel, and watches
the sea lions sporting in the surf, and
listens to the roar Of waves as they dash
upon the shore. Here his senses are
soothed by the soft air of the south,
made heavy with the perfume of rich
orange groves, with nothing to break or
mar the calm tenor of his peaceful med
itations. 1t is veil.

A new disease among horses has
broken out and is spreading OIL the
range east Of the Hills and on the Ind
ian reservation. 1t is called the "mala-
die colt" and is said by veterinarians to
be really a venereal disorder. This
disease has been in the vicinity Of
Rushville, Neb., for sometime and not
much attention was paid to it, but now
1t has been pronour C dincurable. Gov
eminent veterinarians are passing over
the ranges with a posse of men armed
with rifles, with orders to kill every an
imal found infected, and it is thought
that in this way the disease may be
stamped out. We understand that the
Government will pay a certain per cent
of the value Of the horses destroyed.
