"I want to growl , " said a First ward eltl-
f.on yesterday afternoon , "and I wish some of
the aldermen were hero to hear mo. It's all
because so many of thu streets across the
creek are stopped up and wo have to go so
fur out of our way to get down town. Five
of the Inillan creak bridges are being re
paired ut the present time , and , hero is no
way of getting across without going around.
I like to sco them kept lu repair , but It seems
to me that the council Is rather Indifferent us
to whether they are ever opened again to the
imblio or not. The licnton street bridge has
been completed for three weeks , and since
that time no work has been done toward
'opening It to the public. Thu approaches are
not In , but them Is no way of getting n team

A Union Huptlht "Mooting.
Thu pastors of thu various Duptlst churches
iu this city quietly arranged for a notable
gathering to bo held In the First Haptist
church yesterday'afternoon. . No announce
ments wen > iiuulo through thu papers , and
the Information was conveyed to thu members
by pulpit announcements. This was In ac
cordance with the purpose to have a union
meeting of thu Daptlst churches of the city
and the de lro to see how lurgu an exclusive
Baptist uudlcncu could bo gotten together
mm how It would look , The plan succeeded
admirably , and ut ! liO ; ! yesterday afternoon
Iho auditorium of the cuurcU was
I
nnckcd with ns fine looking nn audience M
has over u ntemblod there. In the
pulpit were seated the pastors of
the six Baptist churches lu Council
Bluffs , and outsldo of Tun UUP. representa
tive them was not an Ishmael Inthobulldlng.
Hcv. Mr. Altehlson of the Iowa board of
Unptlst missions , who Is now n resident here ,
wits chosen master of ceremonies , mid In n
brief opening address slated the objects Of
the meeting to be n Baptist love feast , nn In
terchange of JJnptlst enthusiasm for the
pushing ahead with greater vigor the work
of the church In the tnty.
Hev. T. P. Thlekstun offered the Invoca
tion , after which the congregation Joined In
singing with great spirit the 91st hymn.
The sinking was limited to short addresses
by the pastors upon subjects selected for
them by the committee who arranged the
meeting.
Hov. Kolchenbach of the Scandinavian
church was Iho first speaker , and he wis
called upon to talk for ten minutes unm
"Kutrosj > ect8 and Prospects'1 of the ehureli In
the world , and especially In Council muffs. Ho
gave a brief summary of the history of ; ho
church and concluded by giving some enter
taining personal reminiscences of hl ex
perience In connection with the work In this
city , and felt assured that wo could point to
the Baptist churches In Council Bluff In
triumph and look forward lo the future with
high anticipations of urightcr prospects than
ever.
Dr. Coolevwns required to tnlk upon the
subject. "Watchman , What of the Night , or
the Outlook of the BuptlstChurches In Coun
cil Bluffs. " Ho remarked that In speaking of
the nlgtit It might bo well to talk ubout the
poverty of the church. There vvns one church
In the city in whoso early history It is re
corded that thcro was not a cow or n feather
bed among Its members. Poverty may
be a blessing , und If It Is the Baptist churches
In Council HlufTs were blessed in a high de
gree , for nearly all her members nro poor
m this world's goods , and ministers and
all were llko the lowly Master in this re
spect. This was ono of the discourage
ments. Another was the wickedness of the
city and the innpathy In church ufTnlrs of the
men of wealth , esiwcially in the early days
of the church hero. He used to think that
the city lacked o/.ono , but thcro has been a
great change in this respect. Another dis
couragement was the transitory character of
the members of the church here. He hud
often felt since his ministry began that ho
was merely the head of a procession. People
ple come and go , and there was not twenty
members in the church today who were there
when ho began his work here five years ago.
But there are moro encouragements than dis
couragements. There was encouragement in
the belief of the divine mission of the church ,
and the fact that the great majority of the
people in the city belong to Iho middle class ,
the class that holds the balance of power in
the world und who constitute the majority of
the membership , which stamps the Baptist
church as the church of the masses.
IJev. Thlekstun spoke upon the mission of
the church in the city.
Hov. Harris of the Bethany church spoke
on the duty of the Baptists to themselves.
Hcv. Jainunny , pastorof the colored church ,
made the most remarkable address of the
afternoon. Ho is u full-blooded negro , with n
bright , shiney face , und detailed In u graphic
manner his experience In establishing his
church here , which tgdny comprised only
eight members.
Other short addresses were followed by
a general speaking mceting.participated in by
the members present.

Hun Down hy the Motor.
Ono of the Fifth avenue- motors ran into
Dr. II. Y. Bates' buggy about 8 o'clock lust
evening near the corner of Tenth street and
completely wrecked the vehicle , in which
of Dr. Bates und brother-in-law
were a son a - - ,
Mr. Kelley. The horse , which is a very high
spirited nnimal , became frightened when the
motor car came up behind it and started
down Fifth avcuuo 011 a run. Instead .of
stopping his motor tlio motormsn iiushcl
along at full speed close behind the buggy ,
the incessant ringing of the bell increasing
the terror of the frantic nnimal.
Had tlio street been clear the ruawav horse
would soon have left the motor far behind ,
but the buggy struck a heap of dirt near the
curbstone and was instantly turned bottom
side up. The boy was thrown directly across
the truck in front of the motor , which the
motor man managed to stop Just before it
struck him. The boy was badly bruised by
his fall , but was otherwise uninjured mid
Air. ICelloy escaped without injury. Tlio
motor struck the buggy and mudo a total
wreck of It , mid several of spectators stated
that but for the fact that this partly arrested
the progress of the motor | t would have run
over the boy , who as.lt was had a very nar
row escape.
DA partyof gentlemen who witnessed the
accident were so Indignant that they could
hardly bo restrained from administering to
the motor man H soveru thrashing , which they
plainly told him ho deserved for his fool-
imrdy and dangerous trick in so closely fol
lowing up the runaway with such an outland
ish racket ,
The horse , which freed himself when the
buggy capsized , continued his mad flight , and
was caught near the transfer. He was badly
cut In several places , and the harness was
torn to pieces.
Young Bates was resting comfortablv lust
evening , und will recover from his full In a
very short time.

A certain well known young man entered
the Manhattan lust evening , currying three
bottles of beer In his arms , and requested the
proprietor to "Say , wiiip these up , will you i"
The proprietor remarked that ho could not
dolt , und tlio youth with his bottled.Jag
started for the sidewalk. Ho slipped a bottle
Into each hip pocket , and as there was no re-
ceptacle for the third and last ono , slid It up
his back under his coat , which ho tried to
button around him , As ho started to walk
away the last bottle dropped to
thu sidewalk and was shattered
nto u thousand pieces , while thu
contents trickled In nn amber stream toward

crash , and made n break for the walking dis

The Divorce Ilceoril Urokon.
Colonel D. B. Ditlloy has suddenly Jumped
into thu front rank as u divorce attorney , and
may well lay claim to outaluiub' them with
neatness anil dispatch. The only fnult to bo
found with them Is that there Is n well devel
oped possibility that divorces that mature so
suddenly will IK ) very short lived. Colonel
Dalley succeeded In breaking the record last
Saturday , when ho filed his imtltlon. took a
default , and the decree was Issued , all In the
brief space of sixty minutes. The case was
that of Mrs. Hattlo D. Mllllkcn vs K. U. Mil-
liken and the divorce was sought on the
grounds of cruel and Inhuman treatment and
adultery. The defendant did not put In an
appearance , and the plaintiff took n default.
All that then remained to do was for the
plaintiff to prove up and get her decree. The
plaintiff herself was put on the stand for the
purpose. The gist of her testimony was to
the effect , as she expressed It , that she "got
stuck on n cowboy and got left. " She now
works at Swansea's music store , and no
longer has nny use for her recreant husband.
The plaintiff , In her testimony showed that
she married the defendant in this city In
June , 18SS , and that shortly after their mar
riage they went west , where they remained
for several months. Then came u family row
which resulted In Mrs. Mlllikcn returning to
her home In this city. Matters dragged along
In this manner fur some time , but the breach
was finally healed. Mllllkcn agreed to bo
kinder to his wife and she returned to him.
He did treat her better a while , but she dis
covered that ho had not been all to her that a
husband should bo that ho had been inti
mate with another woman and that the re
sult of the Intimacy was the birth of a child.
She licensed him of the crime and ho admitted
that such was the case. Then followed sev
eral more weeks of his abuse , mid she re
turned to her mother. The testimony of her
sister , Mrs. Tracy , and her mother , Mrs.
Koyal D. Amy , was In substance the same as
that given by the defendant.
As soon as Judge Deemer heard the evi
dence ho granted the divorce , and restored to
the petitioner her maiden namo. And now
comes the statement that certain matters in
connection with the case were not conducted
as they should have been. It is alleged that
the petition was not filed until just before the
default was obtained , and that the decree was
therefore Illegally granted. The clerk of the
court stated that the petition was filed Satur
day , at which tlmo the filing fees were paid ,
bi.t there was no record of the case even when
the case was on trial , and there was nothing
to show that such a proceeding had been insti
tuted. Inasmuch ns the statutes allow a cer
tain time for the filing of an answer in such
cases , It is charged that there must have been
some action not in accordance with legal re
quirements , and talk of disbarment proceed
ings is therefore rife. Judge Deemer will
look into the matter today and see where the
trouble lies.

MAKING JPIiAYlNG CAUDS.
How the King , Queen , Jack anil the
Itcst. of Them are Produced ,
It is surprising the great number of
playing cards that are used/ One fac
tory alone , in Ohio , turns out tin average
of : iO,000 packs a day. The owner at
tributes the present great demand prin
cipally to the progressive cuchro erazo ,
and says that the Americans are the
greatest people on the globe
for amusements at cards. A re
porter of the Cincinnati Times-Star , who
visited the establishment , was told in
answer to numerous queries , about the
ways of manufacturing the cards :
"Much of the process is a secret with us ,
but still I can toll and show you a great
deal. The bristol cardboard for making
the cards consists of two sheets glued to
gether by being passed between two im
mense rollers. The cardboard must
then bo dried , pressed , glu/.od and prepared -
pared for further work. The cardboard
is prepared in sheets largo enough to
contain a whole puck of playing cards. "
"What's thisV asked the nownpaper
man , as ho saw a largo revolving ma
chine turning out endless or seemingly
so rolls of white paper , with ono side
printed the color of variously figured
calico.
"It's the process of printing the paper
which is to bo pasted on the back of
cheap playing cards. It's printed just
as calico-printing is done. All , or nearly
all , cheap playing cards have a calico-
colored baclc. Tills lengthy strip of cal
ico-colored paper is subsequently cut
into sheets about three feet in length to
correspond to the sheets of bristol card
boards. "
"Aro the various colors on cards
printed on the cardboards ? "
"Sometimes. See this glazed face on
the sheets of cardboard ? Well , it is
now ready for printing. The printing is
a line art , too , as so many colors are
often put on at ono impression. After
being printed the sheets are dried and
then sent to Iho cutting machines to bo
cut into strips as wide as a playing card
is long. These strips are carefully.as
sorted , measured and then passed to the
'punchers , ' or machines which 'punch'
or cut out the separate cards ,
eVery ono of which must bo punched
separately , great care being neces
sary In order that the punching is done
accurately , otherwise the margin of the
cards will not bo true and they will jiro-
sontan ugly appearance. The punching
is a wonderful process and the machines
which do it are almost human-liko in
their motion and dexterity. "
IIKAUTS ItUOICK AT HIS TOUCH.
A IIiiIl-FIlitcr who Playeil the Troti-
Imdour anil Wrote I'oeins.
Strolling through the magnificent
cafes of Barcelona yesterday with my
friend , the advocate , writes Edgar L.
"Wakonmn , in the Chicago Inter Ocean ,
ho was able to do mo what ho regarded
as the highest favor and honor that can
come to a stranger In Spain. This was
an introduction to an ambitious and
already almost famous bull-figlUor , or
espadii , of this city.
This recalled personal reminiscences
of this class of men and some interest
ing facts concerning the greatest two
living cspadas , Francisco Sanchez and
Luis Mir/.zantiui. The latter I have
known. Perhaps the most famous of all
matadors , the espada primero of the
world , is Francisco Sanchez ( alias La-
gartijo ) . Ho is probably the most dur
ing , skilful bull-lighter that over lived.
His handling of the wild and savage
bulls of Jaraina is something marvel
lous.
lous.Ho
Ho now seldom appears , $10.000 being
the price demanded and secured in ad
vance for each performance. IIo is a
very great pot with the Spanish nob. ilty ,
is very rich , and was the warm personal
friend of the late King Alfonso. Other
famous espadas are Rafael Molina , Angel
Pastor , .lose GomeITcrmosilla , Juan
Sanchez and Luis Mczzantini.
The last is rapidly becoming the first
Spanish favorite. His life has been full
of romance and adventure. IIo was des
tined for the priesthood by his parents ,
who wore people of refinement and
proper aspiration , IIo possessed a po
etic , restless nature , and ran away from
the university.
Joining a band of strolling musicians ,
ho wandered for several years through
the Spanish provinces , breaking many a
fair liidy's heart and having his own
heart broken by a swcot little peasant
girl of .Aranjitez. His friends finally
found him and secured him a govern
ment position in the postal department
at Madrid. Hut ho deserted this.
Then ho wrote poems which wore
gladly printed , but would not sell. Soon
ho pang in opera , but fame was too great
a laggard. Then he publicly announced
that ho would become the most famous
bull-fighter of Spain. Spain laughed at
him. That alone gave him note.
Then ho gave thu Spanish people this
saying : "Not a king , but a tenor or a
bull-lighter only , can enslave Spain ! "
IIo is still young. Ho is always a gen
tleman. Ho has already amassed wealth ,
and is the only rival of the peerless
espada , Francisco Sanchez , in thu affec
tions of the people of Spain ,
OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS
A Strong Pica Fpj jho Neglected Merino
Shee 'Industry. '
THE DEHORNlim OF OATTLE.
An KngllNli I'aper CondemiiH the
1'raotluo as Nqp'rtlcHS anil Cruel
The Profitable HolNleln Cow-
Hull ntrj Anlmnlf.
In Kansas , Nebraska and other pre
eminently agricultural states , agricul
tural pursuits naturally crowded out
wool growing , the latter being a matter
of only secondary consideration ; the
plough drove out the sheep , but the
cause of a partial abandonment of the
business is the great grazing area of the
west and improper care , and as a neg
lect to produce in the stud Hocks of the
east , size , strength , length of staple and
vigor in the constitution of an animal
not originally too strong , such sheep as
lit " it" the
were subjects to "rough on
boundless plains of the west , says a
writer in the American Wool Reporter.
It is a tale oft told in Ohio and else
where , today , of how the "Vermontor"
with a shrewdness characteristic only of
a Xew England "Yankee , " peddled his
sheep through their domains , how with
glib tongue they descanted on the merits
of such sires as "Rip Van Winkle , "
"Wall Street , " "Banker" and "Centen
nial , " of the heavy lleuccs of 'Uason"
( of "Golden Flecco" fame ) , of "Magnet"
and of "Wrinkloy , " and traced readily
their distinct blood lines and individu
ality. , Many wore the victims of sheep
peddlers. Many there were who found
out , alasl too late , that an excess of
wrinkles and grease were what they
were breeding , and that they could not
meet with such sheep , the requirements
of the day.
Wo believe that a little good judgment
and faith in the business will bring the
Merino sheep industry out all rightin _
the near future. Let us say that no in
dustry artificially carried on can long
prosper. Wo cannot alTord to abandon
a business which has cost so much
\ \ atchf ul care , time and money to build
Cattle.
The subject of dishorning cattle , says
the London Lancet , is again attracting
the attention of Scottish agriculturists ,
in consequence of the case now pending
in the court of appeal in Edinburg. The
question as to whether or not this pro
ceeding is in a legal bonso "cruel , " and
therefore punishable turns , it will bo
remembered on the further question
whether it is necessary. If cruelty betaken
taken merely to iinply the deliberate in-
iliction of pain , there can bo no doubt
that dishorning in tote , or , a wo might
say , from tip to base , is cruel. It must
unquestionably cause pain at the time
of the operation , with more or less after
suffering. In thisw respect any differ
ence between alternative methods , as
tipping , half-horning or total horning is
simply ono of degree. In every case the
saw has to traversp a sensitive skin-
layer , cither continuous with the hornoy
covering , as at its base , or subjacent to
it where sheathes the supporting core ,
and a central axis of highly sensitive
bone. Suppuration , trivial when the
tip alone is divided , but increasing as
the seat of section approaches the skull ,
inevitably follows. In the course of the
trial the veterinary evidence was agreed
in asserting that greater suffering was
inflicted when a horn was divided at the
middle , whore pus mignt burrow in the
projecting stump , than when the section
opened the sinuses at the skull , through
which its exit was more easy. Another
argument in favor of the latter method
was adduced by Professor Williams
when ho referred to the possibility in
this case of dividing the nerve of supply
before its distribution in the horn.
Against these facts , however , might bo
placed the close proximity of the skull
sinuses to the brain cavity , and the im
possibility , by section of the nerve above
mentioned , of controlling sensation in
the communicating nerve supply from
other sources. Prelimiuury section of
this trunlc should rather bo considered
the natural aiuesthetic in horn-byring.
The process , however carried out , is es
sentially painful , and discussions as to
the relative severity of its effects are ,
therefore , of no great moment. In face
of the fact that m many districts where
cattle are bred no such measure has been
found to bo necessary , while isolation or
other painless means have Hiilliced for
the restraint of the moro violent ani
mals , wo cannot but hold that dishorn
ing is a needless , painful , and , therefore ,
cruel and illegal remedy.
Profits in High Orailo Cattle.
Experience is essential to success. If
wo can utilize the experience of others
wo gain half a lifetime , rather than to
learn it from nersonal experience.
Secretary Slinms of the Kansas state
board of agriculture says experience
shows that this is a progressive ago , and
that the methods which , oven twenty
years ago , were productive of satisfac
tory results , cannot be successfully ap
plied in these times , says the Western
Agriculturist. That in the production
of beef , the old rule of numbers without
regard to quality has been continued
too long. While rapid progress in the
improvement of beef cattle has been
made in certain localities , that the general -
oral advance in this direction within the
last decade has not , in my judgment ,
come up to the demands of the times , or
the reasonable expectations of our most
progressive farmers and feeders. That
native or unimproved animals are yet
too common , and.- ' that their uncertain
quality and irregular delivery in the
markets stand as a constant menace to
the general beef producing interests of
the country , with no compensating ad
vantage to any one the consumer of in
ferior beef excqpt't'd ; and it costs no
more per annum toifeed and care for the
grade than is required for the unim
proved animal. , ,

Why do animals heed salt ? Because
animal fat is an ettltomo of mineral and
vegetable matter ! ? , ' and salt is a medum
between them a compound of these com
pounds in certain definite proportions ,
and grass and grains do not supply a
sufficient proportion to complete the ani
mal compound and are not therefore
complete nutriments , says a writer in
the Horse World. Horses fed on an
excess of grain , in disproportion to most
fibrous plants , will eat the ground with
avidity when they can got at it , and it
supplies in a meiiHiiro a corrector of veg
etable ascidlty , Salt being a chloride of
sodium furnishes both chlorine and soda ,
the latter being a neutralize ! ' of exces
sive ascldlly , especially derived from
[ Trasses , pampercu horses should be pro
vided with the following ball , always
within easy reach : Flrfat make a strong
brine of rock salt with a tenth of salt
petre in it ; then get a spit of pure clay
and a half a gallon of fresh wood ashes ,
and of these make a mixture , with Hiiflle-
ient water , and roll into a ball and dry.
Keep this in a till of the manger , clean
and always lu reach of the pet animal ,
just ns the grass and ground in his native
wild. As 1 have said , the horse is an
epitome of all that he will eat in health ,
and this is why they nourish and build
up each function ,
To Dispose or Kino Hntter.
Practical Farmer : When a dalrymrn
has achieved success in the manage
ment of his business and makes excel
lent butter , the next 'point is to find the
most profitable disposal of It. Private
customers will gladly pay a larger price
than the stores will give for the butter ,
and it is not difficult to find such pur
chasers. Ono successful dairyman , who
has a largo circle of customers in pri
vate famines and gets from CO cents to
75 cents per pound , manages in this way.
First ho bent samples to the best families
in his nearest village ujul easily Bold all
his product at 10 cents per pound above
the ordinary retail price and lo cents
above what the stores cave. With each
package of live pounds ho sent a folded
circular laid on top of the butter to the
effect that it was made from selected
cows , fed on the best food and kept in
clean , healthful stables , with every re
gard all through the process to perfect
cleanliness , and that the quality is guar
anteed to bo always the same. These
circulars found rcatfers among friends of
the customers , and very soon orders
came in from a distance. As the business
increased customers were sought in dis
tant places by advertisements In papers
circulating among persons who could af
ford to pay good prices for the finest
quality of butter. In this way the price
of the butter was gradually- advanced
u Mill it was fully satisfactory , and the
whole product disposed of to steady cus
tomers. Their the whole effort was
given to keep the customers by giving
them perfect satisfaction. The business
soon brought opportunities for Belling
fresh eggs , poultry , and well fed and
nicely cured pork and sausages. In a
few years this person built up a business
that brought in $ o,0)0 ( ) a year from the
small beginning of ton cows only.
Karly ChiukH.
Poultry Review : Without proper facil
ities it is almost useless to attempt to
raise "broilers"succcssfully or profitably
for the young chicks are brought out at
a time " when they must bo well provided
for"but it pays , and pays handsomely ,
too , to raise early spring chickens to
those who have had experience in rais
ing chiclcens foi the market.
The dilllcuityin procuring brood hens
when they are most needed makes it
necessary to use incubators of some kind ,
but a poor incubator is an expense to any
ono. ( Wo speak from experience. ) As
to which ono is "best" we do not pretend
to say , for there are several which will
do good work when run according to di
rections. It is foolish lo expect incubat
ors to hatch every egg and run them
selves without care.
It is not a very difficult or expensive
matter to hatch out the chicks , but the
trouble and work commences as soon as
the chicks are hatched by properly car
ing for them. A good brooder and arti
ficial heat is absolutely necessary to suc
cess , and a suitable room or building
should bo provided , which need not bo
very expensive.
As to food wo have dropped the hard
boiled egg system , unless occasionally
fed mixed with other food it is sure to
cause bowel trouble.
Generally wo feed chicks when they
nro about twenty-four hours old , w'o
place dry ( pin head ) oatmeal and luke
warm water before them , they will cat
as soon as they require it ; whenthoy are
a few days old feed bread or cracker
Kniilrnil in milk , or makn n I'nkn
of equal parts of corn and beef scraps or
animal meal is excellent , add a little
baking soda and popper , bake the same
as bread and feed the soft part to the
chicks , and the crusts tp the old hens.
For a variety , give a little meat , pota
toes , rico cabbage , onions , kale or other
green food.
Keep the brooders at as oven temper
ature as possible and let not moro than
fifty small chicks run together to have
them do well , or they will crowd , killing
the weaker ones.
Always clean the brooders and runs
once a day if possible , to avoid their be
coming sour and filthy.
Keep before them at all times good ,
clean , fresh water or mill ; , and a box of
cracked corn , wheat , charcoal , ground
bono , shells , meat , oto.
Very young chicks have small crops ,
therefore they require feeding at least
four to six times a day , or every two
hours ; give them different varieties of
food , such as boiled rico , table scraps ,
and never feed moro than they will eat
up clean of soft food.
Chicks treated in this manner will
grow fast , and bo ready for market at an
early date.
Keeping lloi-Hcs Clean.
National Stockman : Few owners of
horses are aware of the importance of
keeping the skins of the animals clean.
Proprietors of valuable stock usually require -
quire their hostlers to keep the animals
so well groomed that their coals will
shine likoa now dollar , and so clean that
they would hardly soil a white handker
chief. This is done to please the eye ,
the owners usually beintr oblivious of
the fact that by pursuing this course
they are using ono of the best moans to
conserve the health and vigor of the ani
mals. The skin and lungs are the great
purifiers of the blood. They are the me
diums through which are expelled waste
materials of the blood , such as carbonic
acid gas , water , etc. , which , if sulTorcd
to remain in the system become aetivo
poisons. The skin naturally does about
as much of this work as the lungs. If
the former is not kept clean and its
pores become obstructed , upon the lungs
devolves so much moro of the labor to
perform as the skin fails to do ; and if
Lho lungs are overworked the aijimal
loses a portion of his power , speed and
endurance. When a good portion of the
pores of the skin are closed , as in a colder
or fever , or from filth , the breath is
overladen with moisture , plainly prov
ing that the lungs are doing double
work ; and when the lungs are partly de
cayed , as in persona having pulmonary
consumption and accompanying night
sweats , the skin is then doing double
labor , as the profuse perspiration indi
cates. These facts show the intimate re-
ntion existing between the skin and the
lings , and evince the necessity , for the
? oed of the animal , that the bkin bo
{ opt clean and thus preserve a healthful
equilibrium of action between those two
mporlant features of the animal econ
omy. An animal with a dirty hide can-
lot be at its best. Cleansing the skin is
strengthening the lungs.

George Watson , a Texas ranchman ,
cached Now York the latter part of
November with a consignment of polo
ionics from Urnyson county. They
voro part of a purciiaso by James Got-
Ion Bennett and Lord Lonsdulo , and
voro to be shipped to England , says a
ow York special to the St. Louis Ro-
niblic.
Watson had cancer of the tongue and
vent to the charity hospital. It was dc-
idcd to remove his tongue , lower palate
tnd the lingual glands beneath the
ongue. On the afternoon of December
J the operation was performed by Irn.
Colly and Gillam. For several months
Watson took nourishment through a sil
ver tube inserted into hiswsophuguH just

articulate nt all fornmontli following the
operation , and the llrst words ho uttered
were shouted nt n troublesome cut in his
ward In tlio hospital. Ills language wits
idloumllc and emphatic.
Thcro are no outward Indications to
show Unit Watson Is tonguoless and
paltiteless. His speech is hatnpurod a
great deal , his articulation being defec
tive. Ho will always speak somewhat
Inartk'ulately. The greatest lost * to him
is the loss of all sense of taste and smell ,
Swallowing solids Isn very dllllctilt task
for him , as ho lias lost the power to gulp
food which the tongue gives.

Prlsto Pawnee , Ute , Shoshone and Am-
pahoo languages. IIo was ono of the
Texas rangers and fought on the confed
erate side during the rebellion.
Yesterday ho kissed his wife good-bvo
and prepared himself for the surgeon's
knife without flinching , and scarcely
moved as the doctors cut away his flesh.
The scat of the disorder was soon exposed -
posed and what was the sprprlso of the
surgeons to tlnd the cmiso of all the mis
chief was nothing but n common pin ,
around which had collected a pussy ab

D13ATH WAS IV THE SILK.
An Ivstlmahlo California Voting Lady
/Saurlllocil to Fashion.
Miss Cyrena Alice Boyil , u young lady
aged about nineteen years , whoso parents
reside about four miles from Winters ,
Yolo county , died today under peculiar
circumstances , says a Sacramento dis
patch to the San Francisco Examiner.
A few weeks ago the young lady was
visiting friends in San Francisco , and
while there conceived the idea of having
her ears pierced. A lady friend was
with her when the operation upon her
ears was performed.
Miss Boyd was very particular to urge
that white silk bo inserted in the punc
ture , but it appears that the thread
finally used contained some coloring
matter. A day or so after the operation
Miss Boyd returned to her parents'
homo in Yolo.
Within a few days she experienced
soreness about her ears , but at first did
not regard the matter as of much con
sequence.
One day she and her sister happened
to bo out in a. shower and Miss Uoyd
was drenched to the skin. The result
was she took cold.
The effect of exposure began at once
to manifest itself in her ears , already
swollen and sore. Then she became
alarmed , and , upon her father's advice ,
came to this city to secure medical at
tention. Her ears swelled rapidly , the
swelling extending to her face , and
finally one of her eyes was closed com
pletely.
Erysipelas sot in and the girl suffered
horribly. Blood-poisoning followed and
then it was evident that her life was be
yond the power of saving. A consulta
tion of doctors was ordered , but no
earthly power was availing to stivo her ,
and death came to her relief.
Miss Boyd was about nineteen years
old , and a bright and attractive girl.
She was engaged to inarry a well known .
citizen of Fresno.
