NANCY CATTLE MOVEMENT
Order from Department Of Agriculture
Concerning Cattle Mango, Dip
ping and Shipping.

AlV lplAoN ing OlhCl libo ''' II |
sent out by Secretary of AgrlcuI-
ture Wilson with regard to the reg
ulations concerning cattle mango.
In consequence of the inability |
of the department to begin the
work of inspection and of super
vising the dipping of cattle at all
earlier date and of inadequate ia
cilities for dipping now available.
and in view of great losses which
would be sustained by the owners
of cattle in states where cattle
mango, or scabies, is prevalent
should they be compelled to hold
all cattle for dipping or to ship al
of them tor slaughter as exposed
animals, it is ordered:

that before said date vigorous
measures will be taken by the
state authorities and stockmen to
eradicate the disease through Dip
ping all affected and exposed ami
mails.
Second-Thatfat cattle designed
for slaughter originating in an in
fected section may be shipped to
market centers or stock yards
where this department maintains
inspection, without dipping or
placarding cars, provided they
have first been inspected by an
officer of the bureau of animal in
dustry and found free from all EVIL
dence of scabies; if it is decided
afterward to reship such cattle for
feeding purposes or for export
they must be dipped according to
the regulations of this depart
ment before leaving such stock
, yards.
Third-That all cattle that are
: to be shipped from an infected 10.
cality into another state or terri

AWFUL DANGERS FROM FOOD.
Almost Everything We Eat Condemn
ed as Poisonous.

From the Lancet.
There is a society in Manchester called
the Manchester Physical Health Culture
Society. Sometimes its speakers advocate
very sensible modes of living and at other
times their subjects seem TO run away
with them. On November - a gentleman
gave an address chiefly consisting of a
wholesale condemnation OF most ordinary
foods, which he thought were the princl-
pal cause of disease. For the ignorance on
this subject he considered that the educa-
tion authorities were morally responsible
because they did not teach hygiene In ali
the schools.
Salt was the first thing that came under
his ban, and he is reported saying that,
like arsenic, 1t is irritant poison"
which we must have. but as natural vege-
table salt which is usually boiled out and
thrown away, thus drawing a marked dis
tincuon between what he calls organic
vegetable salt and inorganic mineral
salt. The former, he says, enters into
chemical combinations in the system, while
the latter lis merely held in mechanical
solution in the blood. When minerals out
OF the earth, such as salt. soda, lime, iron,
phosphorus, sulphur coal or birthstone are
eaten, they clog the system in much the
same way that dust and dirt clog and wear
out machinery; and he goes on to say
that some eminent authorities ascribe can
Ger TO the use of salt, especially when
eaten which has been cured by salt. The
idea that salt Is the cause OF cancer is, OF
course, by no means new and is believed
by many as firmly folks believed some
nIty or sixty years ago that brandy and
salt would cure everything.
He then runs amuck at the of 'iiery
spices, as mustard, pepper ginger. cloves,
nutmeg, hOrseradish. sauces. vinegar ana
pickles" passing on to denounce-we must
say quite rightly in many caseS-the use
by manufacturers and vendors of food OF
such substances as boraX, boric acid, soda,
baking powder, cream OF tartar, aniline
dyes! and sulphate of copper for coloring.
Hence the foods in which they are mostly
used. as jams, marmalade, jelies, milk,
butter, margarine, cheese, potted shrimps,
sausages, pies, Drawn polony. cured meat.
fish, ham, bacon and many OF the timed
foods. ought not TO be eaten. 1.-The law
ought to forbid these poisons being intro
duced into the blood"
OF course, the lecturer condemned tea.
coffee. cocoa, meat extracts and alcohol as
not being foods. but deleterious stimulants
which mortgage our nervous forces"
Aerated waters, he says, are generally I'M
wholesome from their containing such pre-
servatives as tartaric and carbonic acids,
sacoharine. artificial or mineral coiorlngs
and fiavorings. 1.-The only liquid necessary
for man is water" Sugar and all foods

JURY FAILURES.

A few days since Marshal Bebb of
Lewistown said. Whenever | arrest
a man for drunkenness or disorderly
behavior and he says he will demand
a jury trial. | turn him loose, for he'll
get away anyhow and it's no use tax
ing up costs to the city"
That such a condition of affairs eN.
lists in Lewistown is certainly true,
d%eplorable though it is. The chief is
able TO cite several instances of re-
cent occurrence in which he has pro,
duced from three to six witnesses
who testified positively as to the
prisoners guilt. but the jury very
promptly turned the man loose. Only
last week there was a particularly
fragrant instance Of this kind. the de-
PENDANT offering nothing further than
his own denial, but the jury acquitted
him. And it las a jury made up of
ordinarily good citizens and taxpay'
ers.
Much the same conditions exist in
the district court and Prosecuting At
torney Belden and the other court
officials are exceedingly discouraged
because of their inability TO secure
convictions, though the guilt of the
accused is proven as certainly as II
is possible to prove anything by the
testimony of others.
II is needless to recall all the cases
but a few will suffice. Carl Grun
wald, John Biglen, Barney Hedican
John Hill. Samuel Evans and William
Pomeroy have each been placed or
trial, charged with serious crimes. but
in each instance the juries have eth
er acquitted or disagreed and dis
charge has been the result. Perhaps
ii would be unfair to say that every
one of these men were guilty Of the
crimes with which they were charg
ed, but it is certainly rue that a ma
Iority Of them were and it is very
difficult to account for the acquittaI
Of all. The county attorney has made
an excellent presentation of the eyi
dence, which had been carefully gath
cred and every effort has been made
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1904-07-13

by the court officials to secure the
punishment Of the offenders. but with.
out the assistance of the jury il has
been impossible. In AT least three
instances the men, though pleading
not guilty, have by their W testi'
mony admitted guilt, but this has
made no difference and for some rea.
son the juries have failed to convict.
But three convictions have been Sc.
cured during this jury term. Koch,
who murdered Wander at Stanford
was given ten years Imprisonment.
and Gordon and O'Neill, who diverted
the waters OF Spring creek, were each
fined 800. In no instance has the
punishment been commensurate with
the o%ffense, and the Jesuit of these
trials simply goes to prove that the
tendency of the iuries is to deal much
too leniently with offenders.
Every day one hears some citizen
%deploring because crime goes unpun.
ished and frequently blaming officials
for not detecting criminals and max,
ing them suffer for their misdeeds.
But neither the sheriff's force, city
marshal or judges can hope to &C.
complish anything without the assist.
anee of the citizens. especially those
called TO sit upon the %juries.
That crime has been on the increase
in Fergus county is true; that the
only way to check this tendency Is to
mape examples OF the offenders whO
are caught is equally true. Turning
guilty men loose is simply placing a
premium on crime and Offering dis.
"couragement to the officers.
It is time that jurymen give less
heed to specious pleas OF defending
attorneys and more attention TO the
evidence placed before them.

on the score Of its opposition to
trusts II Is looking for help from
the trust magnates of the east.
The party has no issue. 1t is sim
ply opposed TO everything Republican.
The platform is nothing more than a
mess OF platitudes. It is remarkable
for what 1t does not contain in the
attempt to be conservative.
The free coinage of silver, imper-
ialism and militarism have had their
day and no longer interest or fright
ems anyone. They could not be work
ed over even to please Bryan. Even
the tariff question was approached
cautiously.
The oft repeated assertion that
protection Is robbery of the many
to enrich the few" does not alarm the
people, as experience has proved the
statement to be false.
All of which goes to show that the
affairs of the government have been
so wisely administered by the Repub-
leans that there is little out of which
TO construct a platform from, with
out copying from their opponents,
The candidates of both parties have
now been named. Platforms cut but

tally when a candidate stands for all
that the people desire. After a brief
spell the battle will be on. Under

where he stands and trust him i'm

prosperous and his election will be
followed by still greater activity in
trade and investmen, in u~ndeyeloped
resources. The misery of Cleyeland's

the minds of the people and they will
