NAMELESS HORSE DISEASE
Causes Death of Nearly Sixty Horses
Near Walla Walla.

A disease, the name of which is as
yet unknown, is causing many fatali-
ties among the horses used for farming
purposes in tho northern part of the
county. says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
Within radius of Is miles of this
city, between 80 and so head have
sucoumbed to its ravages within the
last three or four months.
DR.. S. B. Nelson. state veterinar ian
residing at Pullman. who is there for
the purpose of ascertainirg the exact
nature and cause of the disease, says
that as far as he has been able to de-
termine the infection is an intestinal
trouble aud in all probability of an in
fictitious character. According to his
statements very few horses survive an
attack of this disorder, some of them
expiring within three days from the
time that its presence is discovered by
the owner of the animal, while others
have survived for two months before
expiring.
DR.. Nelson expects to remain here
for several days yet, hoping within
that time to succeed in positively di-
agnosing the disease and prescribing a
cure for it.

ECHO GROWS LARGE PEANUTS
They Are Large, Five End to End

Peanuts are growing in Oregon /

Peanuts are growing III Oregonl
Not the shrivelled up product such
as Sencr Maoaroni sells to the children
from his stand on the street corner in
some swelteling eastern city, but big
fat ones enclosed in golden cases and
running in size to point where five
of them laid end to end against foot
rule will reach its entire length, says
the Journal. Echo is the center of
production and you can see half acre
of them, if you desire to investigate it,
on the farm of W. W. Wolfe, three
miles north of the city.
One would suppose that with the
long list of products already under cul-
tivation in the Section adjacent to the
town the enterprising husbandman
would be satisfied. but the contrary
seems to be the case and so this latest
factor in agricultural development has
been introduced. In enthusiasm over
SO radical departure from the beaten
track, as peanut growing in the north
west one is inclined to exciaim in be-
wilderment-what next?
At first it would seem to the visitor
that the people of Echo and its tribu-
tary zone would be mildly excited over
the transplanting of distinctly south
ern industry in their northern cline,
and no doubt they would be. were it

limited followings.
The speech placing William Jen-
nings Bryan in nomination was made
by l. J. Dunn. of Nebraska, a youthful
orator of fire and eloquence, whose
closing phrase stirred the vast assem-
blage into wild demonstration:
II nominate," he exclaimed, "as

vention adjourned to meet at p. m.

day. The ticket named is as follows:
For Martin r. Preston of

For vice president-Donald Monroe
of Virginia.
The nomination of Preston for pres
ident was unanimous. The candidate
was placed III nomination by Daniel
DeLeon who characterized the man he
was naming "as an honest working
man, not professional workingman,"
and added:
''The name of that man is Martin
R. Preston and he is now in Jail at
Goldfield, New. Preston is in Jail to-
day for conduct that is honorable and
which no workingman should be
ashamed of"
DeLeon explained that Preston had
been sentenced to years imprison-
ment for shootingla restaurant keeper
in Goldfield three years ago during a
strike. Preston, DeLeon asserted, had
acted as the protector of defenseless
girls and by so doing his action en-
ragged restaurant keeper named Sill.
yer. Silver, Mr.. DeLeon said, was
shot 10y Pres ton while threatening to
kill the latter.
The platform is Identical with one
