those recorded could be carried by the
cattle industry Of no other section Of
the country but the south, whose ex-
cellent pastures, rich soil, and salu-
brious climate are the only reasons
for it's ability to overcome such obsta-
cles in meeting the competition Of the
west. And it is the Inherent capacity
Of the south for greatly increasing its
herds and enlarging it's pasture lands
that makes the actual loss even Sec
ondary to the potential loss due to
restrictions necessitated by the pres
ence of the cattle tick. This potential
loss may be described as the difference
between the value Of the cattle indus
try of the south today and the extent
to which this industry would be in
creased IL farmers and ranchmen were
assured that their lands and cat
tie. would not become infested
with fever ticks. Could this as
surance be given, the beneficial eff
fects would extend over the entire
country, because the market of the
northern breeder would thereby be-
come greatly extended.
"These appalling losses and annual
sacrifices Of the cattle raisers Of the
infected district can be entirely ef-
faced, and this at small proportion
ate cost; for, with enthusiastic stock
men, satisfactory state legislation. suf-
ficient money, and a trained corps Of
inspectors, the cattle tick may be ex-
terminated, and every dollar expended
in this work will be returned many
fold during each succeeding year.

BACK IN THE UNIoN.-At a Washing
ton meeting Of a Rough Rider organ
ization one of the members told the
following story of a fiery old south
erner, whose son, at the outbreak Of
the war with Spain, was desirous of
Joining Col. Roosevelt's regiment.
The old gentleman had been wont
to declare that he went out Of the
Union" when his state did; and dur
ing the period between the close of
the one war and the beginning of the
other he was an apparently hopeless
"unreconstructed."
To the surprise. therefore, of all
that knew him, the old man offered
no objection when his son, stalWart
lad, went with the Rough Riders to
Cuba. Not long afterward, the volun-
teer remarked to a fellow soldier:
THE old man is back in the Union
at last"
Does he say so?" asked the other
with a glance at the letter the boy
held.
1t amounts to the same thing" was
the answer. He now writes United
States without quotation marks.

summing up the loss occasioned by the
fever tick.
THE advertisement which breeder
obtains and the sales which are made
by having his stock in the show ring
are usually lost to the southern cattle
raiser who aspires to display his an
imals in the north, as they are barred
from most of these exhibitions. On
the other hand, the southern farmer
is not given an opportunity to see and
be stimulated by the fine specimens
of northern cattle which might be
shown at southern stock exhibits, for
the reason that the danger Of con-
tracing Texas fever is too patent to
warrant such exposure. The expense
incurred by the government and the
various states in enforcing the regula-
tions that apply to the quarantine line
reaches about $65.OOO per annum.
Another loss which is indirectly
sustained by the southern cattle in
dustry through increased freight rates
is the cost to the railroad companies
of cleaning and disinfecting the cars
that carry southern cattle and in pro-
viding separate pens for these ami
mails at various locations. This sum
may be calculated at not less than
$4,000 per annum.
IF all the above mentioned losses
are added it will be found that the
Texas fever tick is responsible for
about $4O,OOO,OOO of loss annually to
the people of the infected country, and
that it also lowers the assets of the
south by an additional s23,25O,OOO.
These figures are not given as accurate
in any particular, but they are suf-
ficiently close to indicate that the loss
to the quarantined section from the
cattle tick is something enormous.

The death Of Miss Ina Briggs
occurred Tuesday morning at 1 :45
O'clock at the residence of her
mother, Mrs. Nora Briggs. The
end was not unexpected, and it
came as a relief to thes young suf.
terer who had borne cher af1iction
so patiently. She Was aged %
years and 5 days.
The death of this popular young
lady ID keenly felt by her many
friends, she having been a girl Of
many admirable qualities and the
possessor of a noble character.
The funeral was held yesterday
IN the NJ. E. church, Rev. j. w.
B%ritton, the pastor, officiating.
The burial was in the Summer
vile cemetery.
Miss Ina Gertrude Briggs was
born in Kemper, ILL.,, Feb. 90,
1885, but spent most of her life in
Medora. When she had nearly
completed the high school course
IN the public schools here she suf-
Tered most intensely from an at
tack of inf1ammatory rheumatism,
which for nearly two years confn-
ed her to her bed most of the time
and left her heart seriously i'm
paired. Later a sojourn of over
two years with relatives in the
west, most of it IN South Dakota,
she realized some relief. But there
was for her heart trouble no cure,
and after about nine months stay
here her heart was unable to keep
up the struggle.
During all these years she was
much of the time a great sufferer,
but never a complainer. Indeed,
she was remarkably cheerful and
her life spread sunshine wherever
she went.
She became a member of the
Medora Methodist church several
years ago, before her attack of i'll
ness, and those nearest to her, as
we'll as those not so we'll acquaint-
ed with her, testify that hers was a
Christianity of daily living. She
Was in her accustomed place OF
worship the Sabbath just before
her ailment finally disabled her.
Her father preceded her to the
spirit land almost eighteen years,
but her mother, Mrs. Nora Briggs,
and her two brothers, Junius and
Ernest, survive her and have the
heartfelt sympathies of a wide cir
Gle of friends.-Medora Messenger
