ABOUT RoUp In FOWLS.
The "Grippe' of the Featbered Rnce
Which Quite often Proves
n Fatal Aitmeut.

This Is the season OF the year when
this disagreeabIe, and often fatal dis
ease is most prevalent among the
fowls. 1t is the Grippe OF the fpath-
cred race, which quite Clten runs into
consumption, or general wasting away.
1t begins with a cold. with running
1t the eyes and uostrils-with rattle,
cough or wheeling and frequently ac-
compauied with swelling about the
eyes. and the collection Of offensive
letid matter in mouth and eyes.
II Is a disease which seems 10 be
confined TO domestic fowls and birds;
as We have yet 10 hear of ANYTHING
in feathers that is wild, having this
disease when killed or captured.
This disease is a most disagreeahle
one to doctor. and a hard one to cure,
We have had nan ups and downs
with it, and have tried, probably, ev-
cry remedy that anyone else has ever
tried, and We ara prepared TO say
that none Of them can be relied upon
m every instance, We have cured
Toup on many occasion, but on a
great many Others we have failed
and we have had more Of failure than
success.
The truth is, roup is largely the
outgrowth o. iuaXperience, and mis-
management on the part of the pouI-
trymen. 1t Is a disease that may be
more easily prevented than cured. H.
deed, there need be no rou under
proper management.
Dryncss warmth and exercise are
the three things necessary to keep
fowls in health during the cold and
wet season of the year. The first
named means a good roof and siding
to the penthouse, and the second i'm
plies a snug corne for the roosting
perches-a space curtained off in one
corner, so that there will be a warmer

sTRATToN ESTATE WINS.
Court of Appeals Decides Against the
Venture Corporation.

Denver. Colo, Feb. 21.-A decision
was handed down by Judge Adams of
the Federal Court of Appeals at St
Louis yesterday which effectually sets
at rest the litigation which has so long
been pending over the STATIONS In
dependence mine in the Cripple Greek
district. The decision was In favor of
the estate executors and against the
Venture Company of London, who
brought suit for s6,000,000 damaget.
The decision removes all doubt as to
the value of the property when 1t was
sold, and for this reason, If nothing
else, is a source of qualification to
mine owners in the district. II was
claimed by the London corporation
shortly after the death of. W. S. STRAIT
ton that the mine had been sailed.
and that the value placed upon II was
fictitious one. Subsequent develop
ment work. however, has brought out
ore values to equal If not more than
cover the 100000 paid for the mine.
Work which has already been carried
on in the property since Mr.. STATIONS
death has proven all claims made for
II, as ore of sufficient value has been
taken out to more than equal the pur-
chase price.
The decision removes the principal
Obstacles to the construction of the
Myron Stratton home. although other
litigation may cause delay in carry
ing cut this provision of the will.
The decision of Judge Adams affirms
the decision of Judge Riner, handed
down in Denver year ago.
The state will be enriched even
tually by the payment of $500. 900 in
heritance tax. which has been tied up
by litigation since the death OF MIR.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-The Asso-

thority that the question of peace was
formally considered by Emperor Mich
olas and his ministers at the confer

No particulars are obtainable, as be-
fore the discussion began the emperor
exacted from each one present SOL
emn promise not to divulge the slight

The belief is. however. that the pos

1t is suggested in high quarters that
some intimation of terms has reached

although it is certain that It did not
come through the regular diplomatic
channels.
Even in the midst of the excitement
caused by the assassination of Grand
Duke Sergius there has been a notice

CODY DIVORCE CASE.
Buffalo Bill and His Wife Both Appear
to Poor Advantage.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 1S.-Highly
sensational charges were made at the
taking of dispositions in the Cody di-
yorce case. begun here Thursday in
the District Court before Judge r. H.
Scott
Colonel w. F. Cody was present and
was represented H. A. Ridgley of
Cody, and ]. /. Stotts of Sheridan.
Mrs. Eliza Cody was not in court but
was represented by Wilcox & Halligan
S8f North Platte. Nebraska.
The first witness called was Mrs.
John W. Boyer of North Platte. Mrs.
Boyer's husband is employed by Col
onel Cody, and for several years she
was housekeeper at the Cody ranch.
Her evidence was very positive.
Mrs. Boyer stated In reply TO ques-
tioning that Mrs. Cody treated Colonel
Cody's guests discourteously when
they called at the ranch, objected to
the management of the >housekeeper
because she fed the men too much,
talked in violent manner about Col
onel Cody and his alleged sweethearts,
was given to imbibing strong liquors,
became SO drunk that she had to go
to bed, and used exceedingly strong
language
Mrs. Boyer testified that she saw
Mrs. Cody attempt to poison Colonel
Cody by putting something into mis-
coffee and said Mrs. Cody told her
the substance was dragons blood
On cross examination Mrs. Boyer ad-
mitted that Colonel Cody drank great
deal and was frequently under the in
fiuence of liquor at the ranch. She
also admitted that he was intoxicated
on each occasion when Mrs Cody gave
him the drug When asked II the drug
had not been administered by Mrs.
Cody as a medicine to sober up the
colonel Mrs. Boyer said she did not
know. She said the colonel felt the
effects of the drug almost Immediately
after it was administered, and he was
always a very sick man, being com
pletely helpless after eaking the
dragons blood Mrs. Boyer said that
Mrs. Cody told her that she got the
dragons blood from gypsy and that
''she was determined to either rule or
ruin her husband before she would let
him out from under her power"
Among other things the witness said
that Colonel Cody stated on one occa-
sion that the only way to get along
with his wife was to get drunk and
stay drunk.
Mrs. C. p Davis of Cheyenne tes-
titled that she was a seamstress in the
Cody home in 1893; that Mrs. Cody
told her then of the colonel's infidelity,
and that she cruelty whipped her
daughter Irma with horsewhip.

that their sense of justice, their duty
