satisfied that the Iowa claims for
money expended in equipping the

the claims through the auditing de-

priation. He is immensely pleased
with the passage of the Dick bill for
making the national guards of the va

Enlistment and creating of the guard
a definite reserve for war purpose in
connection with the army. Before
leaving Washington he called on the
chief Of the ordnance department and
ascertained that the bureau is ready
to do its part in supplying the guards
men with guns and equipment. The
chief OF the bureau stated that he has
already shipped 10000 stands of arms

these will be supplied the regiments

CATTLE DYING OF BRONCHITIS.
Peculiar Form of Disease Causing
Loss OF Stock in Southern Iowa.

Loss of Stock in Southern Iowa.
Des Moines, Jan. S0.--Dr. p. 0.
Koto. OF Forest City, state veteri-
marian, who is in the city for day or
two, says there is considerable sick
ness among cattle in southern Iowa,
due to peculiar form of bronchitis
known as bronchitis verminis. The
malay is supposed to be caused by
the presence IN the bronchial regions
Of small, thread-like parasite.
The disease has been quite severe
and has caused serious losses of cattle
in many ections. Yearlings seem to
be the most liable to affection. In
some herds, twelve to fifteen animals
have been lost. DR.. Koto considers
the disease is less serious now than it
was few week ago.
The causes of the diseases are
thought to be local. No cases have so
ia" appeared in the northern part OF
the state. The treatment that is best
is rather conjectural. though injec-
tons of turpentine into the trachea
are believed by some to be effective.
Chief reliance, however, seems to he
p ced on changes in pastures and
other local conditions of the herds into
which the disease has entered.
A few cases of rabies are reported,
though the number of them is few
compared with the number reported
last summer

Fl. Dodge, Jan. 30.-Juel Johnson,
the miner who was injured by a fall

given his only chance for life by an
