THE "MILKSICK WEED"
Plant That Strikes Cattle with
Strange MaLady.

From time to time In the last five
decades Tennesseans have been STIR
red to profound sense of interest In
the States mysterious malady, milk
Sickness" as its deadly temperance
in certain sections of the State has
been followed by fatal results to hu-
man beings and to stock. No one
has ever discovered the cause of the
malady, from which death relieves
the victim after such physical agony
as almost deprives the human spe-
cies of the power Of speech, and
dumb brutes express their sufferings
by frenzied search for water to cool
the thirst which consumes them.
Once by stream. they plunge or fall
into it and quickly drink themselves
to death.
The fatal sickness Is known to q
limited extent in several sections of
the State but exists principally near
Sparta, In White county. It Is con-
tracted through drinking the milk of
cows that have eaten a certain weed,
known as the "milksick weed"
which looks something like clover
and grows thickly on the infected
land. But what constitutes the poi
son In the weed Is no more deter
mined to-day than 1t was when first
located by the keen witted, nature
wise mountaineers who have been its
chief victims. 1t has been ascribed at
various times to minerals whose poi
son Is absorbed In the roots of the
"milksick" plant; to a vapor from
some fungous growth, and to the ac-
tion of the dew, producing, in con-
nection with the life of the plant, a
certain poisonous acid. But all of
these theories have failed under tests
applied by practical science. On the
largest infected section known to
exist In the limits of the State.
"Milksick Mountain" in White
county, no mineral whatever exists;
cattle which ate the "milksick weed"
after the dew had dried died in
agony. Just as those which ate It
when the dew was fresh and spark
ling. and the strictest search failed
to find any fungous growth what

Omaha, Sept. 24.-The motions to
remand to the supreme court OF the
state the cases of the state Of Ne.

against the several railroads were
overruled in the federal court. These
are the cases In which the Union Pa
ciic, the Burlington. the Rock Island
and the Missouri Pacific railroads
seek to resist the reduction Of 10 per
class of freight as made by the Aldrich
rate bill and also are fighting the .
cent fare bill. The suit was brought

The motion to remand to the su.
preme court the cases of the state
against the five express companies
was sustained in the federal court on
the ground that the state Is the only
plaintiff in those cases aud therefore
they cannot be heard in the federal
court. These are the cases in which
the state secured a restraining order
and is seeking an injunction to pre-.
vent the express companies from re.

trying to enjoin legislative discretion
in their fight against the new rates On
grain. The brief recites: What the
railway commission may do in the
matter of fixing rates Is yet unknown
to themselves; whether they will Ak
any rate is still unknown to them,
and until a rate Is fixed the question
of reasonableness or unreasonableness
of the same Is simply a hypothetical.
academic and mooted question. There
is, therefore, nothing to litigate."
The attorney general declared that
the notice given to the railroads by
the commission relating to the grain
schedules did not indicate that any
schedule had been determined p
He insisted that the commission had
done nothing since 1t issued the no
