MARKET TOOK
DOWNWARD turn

N wv YORK, Jan. 16.-The grow
ing Instability of the stock market
at the advanced level of prices which
has been in evidence during all Of
this week, eliminated today in a re-
action of some violence. The down
ward course of prices, unaccompanie1
by any news, pointed to a change
from conditions which have prevail
ed while prices were being advanced.
The early movement of prices was
erratic and feverish, with suspi-
cion of manipulative measures to
sustain prices. These We're apparent
ly abandoned as the day advanced
and the whole list gave way. The
gross earnings of thirty-one railroads
for the first week in January show a
decrease of 1881 per cent compared
with the corresponding week of last
year. Bonds were heavy.

VOICE OF PEOPLE.
DECLINED TO
ACCEPT HONOR
tBy Associated Press.)

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 16.-After
the most successful meeting in the
history of the organization, the
forty-ninth annual convention of the
National Wool Growers Association
tonight adjourned to meet next year
at Pocatello, Idaho. Despite the fact
that he was elected president of the
National Association by unanimous
vote, DR.. j. NJ Wilson of Douglas,
Arizona, declined to accept the honor,
because of his personal and political
friendship for United States Senator
Warren, whom the convention re-
fused to consider for reelection be-
cause of the fact that the Wyoming
Senator had gone on record as fav-
oring the forestry range policies o.
President Roosevelt. After Wilson's
declination of the presidency, Fred
Gooding of Idaho was chosen as Sem
ator Warren's successor.

1T has been our custom for
years; as soon as the heated sea-
son sets in, tor sound a note of
warming to those of our readers
residing in charbonous sections of
the State with regard to this fatal
malady of live stock, as well as
people when they chance to be-
come inoculated. The season has
arrived. aud the very conditions
prevail which favor the develop
ment of the contagion or areas
where it already exists in q latent
form. As soon as We get heat and
moisture occasioned by showers
with intervals Of hot weather, this
latent infection is revivified, and
we are likely at any moment now
to hear of outbreaks Of Charlton
among CATTLE. horses, mules, etc.,
from the ANIMALS grazing over in
fected pastures. In fact, we-notice
in dispatch from Lafayette, in
last Saturdays Daily Picayune,
that fatal disease is attacking
the cattle in the extreme western
part of the parish, in the Second
Ward, and one farmer has already
lost 100 head The animals died
within, o. few hours after symp-
toms Of the disease are manifest
ed, and so far ro'nature of the
malady being yet puzzle to all.
The owner who lost SO many head
Believed that the animals were /
poisoned by some shrubs or plants
IN the woods, as cattle
ranging on the prairies do not
seem to be affected by the disease.
Some suspect that the affection is
