A REMEDY FOR' FEVER
A Denver Physician Said to
Have Discovered It.
CURES BY REMOVING THE CAUSE
Animal. Are Immersed in a Solution
Which Cause Ticks to Leave
Their Bodies.
Denver, Sept. 17. After many
months of effort and repeated experi
ments, a cure for cattle fever has been
found. Dr. V. A. Norgaard, of this
city, is the discoverer. Solution after
solution was tried by him in the effort
to find one that would be efiectunl and
ihean. aa well as immediate in its
results.
Th nlan ia to exterminate the insect
known as the tick, which abounds on
fever-stricken cattle, and through the
means of which the disease is commnni
cated. To do this the cattle are forced to
Bwim throneh a eolation in a vat. What
the solution is, is not known at present
but crude petroleum is used.
When the successful experiment was
tried 27 head of very "ticky" cattle were
forced to swim through the solution, and
it was noticed that while standing on
the dry boards there was almost a
perfect rain of ticks falling off the cattle.
They were put into a special pen, and
the next day, just 17 hours after the ex
. peri men t, a rigid examination was made
and the examiners failed to find a single
tick in the whole herd. There was no
damage done the eyes of the cattle
dipped, and not a single bad effect
resulted.
If the remedy proves to be all that it
claimed it can do, the cattle market
will experience somewhat of a revolu
tion, and about 500,000 head of cattle
will be shipped north each year during
the now prohibited season, which ex
tends from February 15 to November 15.
The "fever line," from beyond the
limits of which no cattle can be
shipped to the North daring the pro
hibited period, as it now stands,
stretches from ocean to ocean and Ari
zona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, part of
West Virginia and Louisiana from the
district affected. !
State Veterinarian Goswell is much
pleased with the results of Dr. Nor
gaard'a experiments, and says without
doubt the long-sought remedy has been
found.
A convention of men from all states
and territories that handle cattle has
been called to meet at Fort Worth,
September 27, and at this meeting it is
expected the new scheme of dipping
cattle will be shown, and should it
prove a success, many of the states will
be ready to so modify their laws that
the cattle of the South can enter
Northern Markets.
MAT BE A BRUISER. S HAVEN.
Police Disposed to Countenance "Friend
ly Contests."
St. Louis, Sept. 17. While the benefit
given last night at Armory hall to Dan
Creedon, the pugilist, who returned
recently from Europe,, was not a success
financially, the friends of pugilism in
this city were much pleased with the
result, for the police made no inter
ference, as had formerly been the case.
Tbe programme consisted of boxing
and wrestling bouts, feats of heavy
lilting, etc. In a boxing bout between
FiUsimmons and Connors, both of
Springfield, 111., the latter had his right
wrist broken. Three rounds were boxed
by Creedon and Joe Cboymski.
Heretofore tbe police have' interfered
with all boxing matches held in St J
Louis, and the local sporting fraternity
were afraid that they might do so last
night. That the police did not has
given them much encouragement, and
will make an opening for more such
events in the future.
A FLOOD OF CRITICISMS.
London newspapers Incensed
at the
. Banc of England.
London, Sept. 17. The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon referring to the
letter of Governor Hugh ' C. Smith, of
tbe Bank of England, to Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach on the subject of the bank's
reserve, says :
'"Although the governor's statement
is perhaps meaningless so far as practice
is concerned, it is to be deeply deplored
that the bank has bndged from its
principles. It is not dignified for the
'old lady of Threadneedle street' to flirt
with the bimetallic faddists.
"We want gold against notes and
there is no reason why the old statute,
when silver bore an entirely different
character, should be refurnished at the
bidding of those who want to dispose of
silver. The bank's reserve is not
large . vhat it can be tinkered with
Moreover, by yielding in these matters
of principle we "open the way to the
thin edse of the wedee. If the threat is
cariied out, what wonld happen is ex
emplified by the statement of the trustee
who declares be wonld feel compelled to
sell his bank etock and close a risk."
St. James' Gazette says on the same
subject:
"The scheme seems to be knocked in
the head for the present, bnt the recep
tion of even the feeble announcement in
tbe city will have the effect, if anything
of being favorable to tbe biroetalists
The United States has done nothing to
make such risky politeness to the silver
men on our part popular in this country.
The Globe says :
"The whole scheme is innovating and
mischievous. It seems to ns wholly
undesirable and even perilous to snbje.
our monetary system to foreign in
Science through the government."
BAD COLLISION IX WISCONSIN.
Two Trains
Came Together Near Chip
pewa Falls.
Milwaukee, Sept. 17. A special to
the Journal from Chippewa Falls, Wis
says :
A disastrous wreck occurred on tbe
Wisconsin Central railroad six milee
west of this city this morning, resulting
in the death of five people and the seri
ous injury of four others.
Two free trams, through a mistake in
orders, while going forty miles an hour,
met on a carve and came together with
terrific force.
The dead are : Engineer Warren, En
gineer Smith, Fireman Smiley, Brake
man Miller, and an unknown man rid
ing between the cars. It is thought
others are buiied in the wreck.
The two brakemen were taken from
the wreck about 7 a.m. and are serious
ly injured. Two passengers in the ca
boose are slightly injured. Engineer
Warren and Smith and Fireman Smiley
and Brakeman Miller, all killed, were
residents of this city. Their bodies
were terribly mangled.
It ia not known where the blame lies.
bat it is rumored both trains were given
the right of way.
DAMAGE NOT GREAT.
Reports as to Condition of Eastern
Washington wheat.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. lo. ibe re
ports that from one-third to one-half of
tbe wheat crops has been ruined by
rain north of the Snake river are in
correct. A Tacoma grain buyer, who
has just returned from a tour of the
Palousa towns and country, from
Biparia, on the south, to Spokane on
the north, states, that if the damage by
rains exceeds 5 per cent he is no judge
of grain. Where the rainfall was
greatest, the grain is bleached, but has
thoroughly dried and is being threshed
and will grade high.
The only important damage reported
is to 80 tons of wheat in sacks stacked
on the Snake river awaiting transpor
tation. Much of it was rained. -
The Potlatch. country reports that not
5 per cent damage has been done. -
About Moscow, Idaho, and on the Nez
Perces reservation 3 per cent will fully
coyer all losses.
In the Big Bend country, the great
wheat belt of Central Washington, tbe
prospects are glowing. Not 2 per cent
of the crop, which is. the largest ever
raised, is damaged, or will be loBt.
C. P. Chamberlin, general manager of
the Central Washington railroad, which
handles nearly all the Big Bend wheat
says absolutely no loss win occur to
standing or stacked grain from rain.

times, haying encouraged the owners to
put on new and modern boats.
The Luetgert Trial.
Chicago, Sept. 17. The Luetgert trial
opened this morning with the cross-ex
amination of Professor Dorsey. Tbe
questions of the attorner referred
entirely to the various kinds of bones of

answers of witness were technical, but
of a character supporting his original
identification, and the testimony with
reference to the bones in evidence.

Mobile, Ala.. Sept. 18. There has
been an accumulation of cases today,
The president of the board of health
states that, had tbe physicians recog

picious cases, many of these cases would
have been am oun :ed several days ago.
The number an ion need today is 11,
making 18 in all so far announced, of
which number three have died, two of

to the Mississippi, to form an absolute
embargo against Mobilians penetrating
into the interior of Alabama. This
trocha is guarded continuously.
Some 200 people from this city started
out into the country this morning, in
tending to take refuge at farms from 10
to 15 miles out. They encountered tbe
guards at the trocha and were stopped
there. At 6 o'clock most of the immi
grants were still there in the open air,
fearing to return to the city and not able
to go further.
The people here are still in a panic,
and leaving whenever they can.
IN NEW ORLEANS.
Two Deaths and Foor New Cases of
Yellow Fever.
New Orleans, Sept. 18. A trifling
improvement in the fever situation
marked the close of the day's work on
the board of health. There were two
deaths today, as against one yesterday,
but there were fewer new cases. At 6
o'clock this evening there were still two
cases under investigation by the experts.
Of the cases investigated today, four
were declared by the experts to be
yellow fever, and, as usual, tbey were
widely scattered. This is the record :
Deaths E. Harmon and Santa Graf-
fato.
New cases Marie Dobois, Rafael
Foartien, C. G. Gormon and Melcbier.
As a general rule, the patients who
are Buttering with yellow fever are re
ported tonight to be improving, with tha
exception of Dr. Lovell, whose condition
is not considered satisfactory.
There have been a total of 35 cases
here, and the death rate has not reached
10 per cent, thus showing tbe mildness
of the type of the fever now prevailing.
Marion Dowden, a member . of the
Ouachita guards, who were guarding tbe
city, was accidently shot this morning
at Monroe by Henry McCormick, a iel-low-member,
and it is not thought that
he can recover.
FROM THE FEVER DISTRICT.
Effect of the
Eptdemio
Harvest.
on the Cotton
Denver, Sept. 18. C. E. Williams, of
Meridian, Miss., arrived in the city to
day. Mr. Williams is the first visitor to
arrive from the yellow fever district. He
carries with him a health certificate and
an affidavit, the latter pledging that he
will not re-enter the state of Missippi
until after the quarantine had been re
moved, v .
"Even in case of death in my family,"
be said, "I could not re-enter without
being arrested. The greatest consterna
tion prevails all over the state, and the
strictest regulations are enforced. Trains
bearing passengers through the state
are moving with the doors of the cars
locked, juBt as Chinamen are sent nnder
bond through thia country to Cuba.
Everybody who is able to move is fleeing
tbe country. Business in many of
the towns is almost at a standstill..-
The cotton crop, which is only one-
third 'harvested, is the heaviest, is tbe
istory of the state, and if the epidemic
preads the loss will be incalculable.
Everything depends upon the success of
the authorities in holding tbe fever in
side the line between New Orleans and
Mobile.
FAKE KLONDIKE BUREAU.
Postal Authorities Investigating
a San
Francisco Concern.
San Francisco, Sept. 18. The local
postal authorities are investigating the
affairs of a concern known as the "Klon-
dike Shipping & Information Bureau,"
of this city, which is alleged to be using
the mails for illegal purposes. The pro
moter of the concern is Dennis O'Don
novan Rossa, who has caused circulars
to be distributed all over the country,
through the mails, containing the claim
that 150 women were wanted at Dawson
City; that profitable employment would
be ' guaranteed them, and , that . they
could secure passage through the bureau
for $200, which could be paid in weekly
installments. Hundreds of letters have
been received at the office of the bureau
within the past few weeks, and n.any
women have called in pereon. The
alleged fake was brought to light through
J. C. Stuart, who was employed by
Kossa as press agent, bnt whom be failed
to pay for his services. Stuart eays he
was led to believe that Rossa was backed
by some Stockton merchants, but as
soon as he found that they were myths,
he severed his connection with the
bureau.

September 5th recommended T. T. Geer.
He declined the recommendation, but

recommendation for the reason that he
was a candidate for collector of cus'oms
at Portland, and would hold out for
that'place.

Oregon City office, with little hope of
getting it. He is a strong friend of Mr.
Geer, having signed two petitions for

(JOT AN ANARCHIST
He Does Not Favor the Use
of Dagger and Torch.
HIS FOLLOWERS SO INFORMED
Anarchists Notified That They Bad
Better Withdraw From the
Social Democracy.
Chicago, Sept. 20. E. V Debs at
tended a meeting of branch No. 1, social
democracy, at Journal hall last evening,
and lectures its members soundly on ac
count of the incendiary speeches of the
preceding Sunday.
Mr. Debs told them in plain language
that he did not favor the use of the dag
ger or the torch. He said he did not
advocate arson and assassination. He
repudiated the talk of revolution. He
declared that . violence and bloodshed
had no part in tbe planevof social demo
cracy. He said the hope of social. demo
cracy lay in peaceful methods, and be
pointed to tbe ballot as the remedy for
the evils complained of. He told the
anarchistic element in plain terms that
it had better withdraw from the organ
ization. .
The hall was crowded and Debs was
frequently interrupted - by questions.
One questioner who asked if social demo
ciatcy was not virtually anarchy, seemed
to be hostile, but as a rule, tbe meeting
seemed to be in sympathy with Mr.
Debs, applauding his repudiation of
violence and laughing scornfully at the
hostile questioner. Several police of
ficers were present in citizens' clothes,
but there was no exense'for their inter
ference.
John J, Cook caused a mild sensation
by resigning his membership, and de
claring that Debs had partially
abandoned the colonization scheme and
was seeking to make a political party.
- Fitzgerald Murphy, chairman of tbe
executive board of branch No. 1, frankly
acknowledged that he had committed an
error in makipg an inflammatory speech
and he announced he would endeavor to
carry out Mr. Debs' programme of peace
Sylvester Kelliber, secretary of the
national organization, explained that
the national executive board had re
pudiated the resolutions, passed by
branch No. 2 on the preceding Sunday,
and had suspended its charter.
Branch No.-2, ' of which'T. Putnam
Quinn is president," resolved last night
to stand by the fierv resolutions adopted
tbe previous Sunday, to resist any action
looking to the . suspension of the
branch by the executive board of tbe
social democracy, and to prefer charges
of malfeasance against Debs and the four
members of the executive board. .
NO TRACE OF THE VICTIM.

Wabbensbceg, Sept. 20. Six days
have elapsed since the young wife of
Andy Still was abducted by tbe three
drunken farmer boys, Hull, McEeehan

become settled that murder has been
added to abduction and assault.

which disproves the" story ot young Hull
that she was placed on the train at Lee

Peter Rowe, of tbe Episcopal church, af
ter an absence of two years in Alaska
and along the Yukon, has returned to
civilization, and is staying for a few
days in this city. He reached the Klon
dike ajboat the 'time the mining excite
ment was at its height, and he is of the
opinion that the, stories. told of . the minr
eral resources of that region are not at
all exaggerated. When asked as to his
opinion relative to the outlook tor those
who have gone into that country this
year, the bishop said :
While there is sure to be some priva
tion and want, still I do not believe
there will be many cases of actual starv
ation."
While on the Yukon, tbe bishop paid
considerable attention to the natural
features of the country, and he express
es the belief that while the Yukon val
ley will never be an agricultural coun
try, still there are many vegetables that
will grow there.
Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman). '
Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment; means poor bealtb,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial
means health and a well Btomach.
If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so little
will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors', we never
see our stomach. We don't feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker
Digestive Cordial.'
Shaker Digestive Cordial, makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all. the symptoms of in
digestion, acts - as . a i tonic and soon
makes you feel well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you feel
of your etomach.
