Washington, May 11.--No decision
will be reached by officials of the de-
partment of agricultuer as to what
action shall be taken in stamping out
the disease that has manifested itself
among herds of cattle in Minnesota
and in some sections of the Dakotas
until a report has been received from
the inspector who has been detailed to
make the preliminary examination.
DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, desires to ascertain
is the disease is spreading, and, If so,
steps will be taken at once to check it..
This matter was taken up with the Of
f1cials by Senator Clapp and Repre-
sentative Davis before they left for
Minnesota. Secretary Wilson assured
them that if conditions warrant it he
will set aside $4,000 for a general in.
vestigation in Minnesota and the d.
kotas. Regulations to prevent the
spread of scabies in cattle, just adopt
de, are expected to prove effective.
1t is required that before cattle are

His Friends Had a Laugh.

Kenmare Journal: Editor Drink
water of the Patterson Advocate has
made practice for long time of
putting his watch in one of his socks
and placing them under his pillow.
Tuesday night, when in Kenmare, in
stead of placing them under the pillow,
he put them into one of his shoes.
Whether this was due to an over
amount of liquid hilarity or too much
purity" politics, or a combination of
the two we do not know, but we do
know that when he hunted for them
the next morning, he was positive that
he had been robbed. His friends had
q hearty laugh when he attempted to
put on his shoes and discovered the
watch in the toe Of one of them.
Treats were on him.
