state, the fight having an important
influence in political matters and in
the permanent location of the seat of
state government. Some of these
incidents are recalled in a review of
Mr.. Heinze's career by the New York
World, which says in part:
The career of the late F. Augustus
Heinze was an extraordinary COM
posite of the good and bad in fortune
seeking. 1t was the career of a gen.
tleman adventurer in whom were mix
ed many of the elements of an old-time
bonanza king" together with the me-
thods of political boss and the sharp
practices of an INSCRIPTIONS captain
of high finance. Only South Africa
and the United States produce million.
aires of the Heinze type, and not often
one with his unusual personality and
remarkable versatility.
Its first and altogether it's most sat.
isfactory phase was that of the clever
college boy fresh from a mining course
at Columbia who found a field for his
superior technical skill in reclaiming
half-worked or abandoned copper
mines in Montana and who, backed by
a small amount of capital and employ.
ing new smelling processes, made him.
self multi-millionaire at 80.
Unfortunately, with his acquisition
of mine after mine there developed
the conflicts with other copper in
terests which led to the predatory
litigation and the injection of mining
rivalries into politics which make the
10 years copper war sorid page of
American industrial and political his
tory. With the conclusion of peace
and the payment to Heinze of $685.
100000 for the disputed properties of
the Amalgamated company began the
third and last phase of his career
that comprising the establishment of
a chain of banks in New York, the en-
forced control of fiduciary institutions
and the collapse of the copper cor
ner' which involved his fortune and
was followed by his indictment on
charges of violating the banking laws.
To have accomplished what Heinze
accomplished in barely 20 years show
ed a genius which must be recognized.
But it is satisfactory to think that gen
ius of this order only rarely manifests
itself and that a spectacular career
of money-making like his is only the
froth without any of the substance of
true American achievement.

A DREADED CATTLE ScOURGE.

In view of the discovery of foot-and
mouth disease among cattle in various
parts of the country, and the drastic
measures that have been taken to
protect other livestock from the
dreaded plague, a bulletin issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture will be of interest to owners
of that class of property.
The first indication of the disease
are chill followed by high fever,
the temperature rising rapidly, some
times to 106 degrees F. In short
time vesicles about the size of pea
appear in the mouth at the end of the
tongue, on the inside of the cheeks,
and on the gums. These vesicleS con-
tain some yellowish watery fluid.
They spread as the disease advances
and cause the animal to open and shut
its mouth uneasily with a characteris-
tic smacking sound. A day or two af-
ter the first appearance of the erup-
ton in the mouth similar indications
appear upon the feet which are swol-
len, red and tender Because of this
the animal frequently persists in ly
ing down, and bedsores develop with
much rapidity. In the case of cows
the udder and, more frequently, the
teats are affected by similar erup-
tion.
Once the disease is well establish
ed it becomes so painful for the ami
NAL to eat that food is frequently re-
fused altogether. Strings of saliva
hang from the mouth. and flesh is lost
with astonishing rapidity. When the
udder is seriously affected the milk
becomes contaminated and may cause
serious results to sucking calves and
young pigs. In mild cases from 10 to
20 days may bring about an apparent
recovery. but this time may be great
ly extended. Moreover. an apparent
recovery by no means implies real
cure. The animal may carry the virus
in it's blood for year or more and is
liable during all this time to spread
the cOntagiOn or to experience a re-
currence itself. The mortality, consid-
ering the seriousness of the disease
and the losses it occasions, is very
small, being estimated by some au-
thorities at S per cent, although it
frequently is much greater than this.
The mortality. however, by no means
represents the real losses occasioned
by the disease. No revenue is possi.
BILE from infected herds. and in the
case of dairymen an outbreak of foot
and-mouth disease frequently means
that their business is completely ruin
ed. Blooded or other cattle that have
become sick with the disease natuar-
ally lose their value as breeding ami
mails. 1t is. however, impossible to
get rid of the disease by ignoring it.
The only possible remedy is to kill off
infected herds, dininfect the premises.

A RECORD OF PROGRESS.

The enormous growth of the United

the population of the country has more
than quadrupled, being now more than
100,000,00O, the report says:

public schools and about 100000 stu

Enormous Losses In Battle Result In

London, Nov. 17.-Accounts of the
fighting in Belgium official or other
wise dwell on the hardships which the
men In the water-soaked trenches are
called upon to endure, and the great
loss of life. Regarding the latter
phase, official reports have little to
say and although private accounts of
the extent of slaughter must be ac-
cepted with reserve, it is evident that
the Germans and their foes have suf-
fered greatly.
One such report comes from Brit
ish correspondent who estimates the
German casualties in the last four
days at 100000.
IT similar reports from the front are
to be credited the slaughter in that
territory is, no less terrible. A letter
written by a Galician priest describes
a grave more than four miles long. In
it, says the letter. 10000 Austrians,
the dead of one days fighting were
buried.
