1 REMEDY FOR FEVER
A Denver Physician Said to
Have Discovered It.
CURES BY REMOVING
THE
i
CAUSE
Animals Are Immersed In a Solution
Which Causes Ticks to Leave
Their Bodies.
Denver, Sept. 17. After many
months of effort and repeated experi
ments, a care 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 effectunl and
cheap, as well as immediate in its
results.
The plan is to exterminate the insect
known as the tick, which abounds on
fever-stricken cattle, and through the
means of which the disease is communi
cated. To do this the cattle are forced to
swim through a solution 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
pertect rain of ticks falling off the cattle.
They were put into a special pen, and
the next day, just 17 hours after the ex
periment, 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 Febiuary 15 to November 15.
The "fever line," from beyond the
limits of which no cattle can be
shipped to the North during the pro
hibited period, as it now stands,
stretches from ocean to ocean and Ari
zona, New Mexico, TexaB, 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's 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.

events in the future.
A FLOOD OF CRITICISMS.
rain north of the Snake river are in
correct. A Tacoma grain buyer, who
has just returned from a tour of the
Palouse towns and country, from
Riparia, 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 Fotlatch country reports that not
5 per cent damage has been done.
About Moscow, Idaho, and on the Nez
Percea reservation 3 per cent will fully
cover all losses.
In the Big Bend country, th great
wheat belt of Central Washington, the
prospects are glowing. Not 2 per cent
of the crop, which is the largest ever
raised, is damaged, or will be lost.
C. P. Chamberlin, general manager of
the Central Washington railroad, which
handles nearly all the Big Bend wheat
says absolutely no loss will occur to
standing or stacked grain from rain.

IMPROVEMENT IN FERRIES.
London Newspapers Incensed at the
fianlc of England.
London, Sept. 17. The Westminster
Gazette thia afternoon referring to the
letter of Governor Hugh C. Smith, of
the 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 bas budged 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 so
large that it can be tinkered with.
Moreover, by yielding in these matters
of principle we open the way to the
thin edge of the wedge. If the threat is
carried oat, what would happen is ex
emplified by the statement of the trustee
who declares be would feel compelled to
sell his bank stock and close a risk."
St. James' Gazette says on the same
subject :
"The scheme seems to be knocked in
the head for the present, but the recep
tion of even the feeble announcement in
the city will have the effect, if anything,
of being favorable to the bimetalists.
The United States bas 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 us wholly
undesirable and even perilous to subject
our monetary system to foreign in
fluence through the government."

Pobtlakd, Or., Sept. 17. Inspectors
Edwards and McDermott left for up the
Colombia last evening to inspect, under
the- new law, the ferries fitted with
gasoline engines now plying on the
river. They will look after the napbita
launch Rufus, ferrying from the town of
Rafus; the gasoline barge Yukon,
crossing from Arlington, and - the newly
built ferry steamer Cuban Queen, at
Columbus, Wash.
The ferries of the Columbia river have
been greatly improved during the last

The Laetgert Trial.
Chicago, Sept. 17. The Luetgert trial
pened this morning with the cross-ex
amination of Professor Dorsey. lbe
questions of the attorner referred
entirely to the various kinds of bones of
animals and human beings. The
answers of witness were technical, but
of a character supporting his original
identification, and the testimony with
reference to the bones in evidence.
Police Disposed to Countenance '

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 bad formerly been the case
The programme consisted of boxing
and wrestling bouts, feats of heavy
lilting, etc. In a boxing boat between
Fitzsimmons and Connors, both of
Springfield, 111., the latter had bis right
wrist broken. Three rounds were boxed
by Creedon and Joe Choyinski.
Heretofore the police have interfered
with all boxing matches held in St.
Louis, and the local sporting fraternity

A disastrous wreck occurred on the
Wisconsin Central railroad six miles
west of this city this morning, resulting
