derive much benetit from it. My drug

Nlg-ns of a Good Cow,
One or two signs will donate a good
cow, Prof. Haeik says, as well as twenty;'
in a poor cow t!:e tH;;h runs down
straight, so there is no space between
the thigh and the udder on one sideand
the tail on the other. One of the beat
ways to tell what kind of a cow you
have is her temperament. A good dairy
type haa a sharp spine, strongly devel
oped nervous system and sharp hip
bones. A good cow has a large, wedge
shaped stomach, lor she must have a
arge and powerful digestive system to J
ute up her food quick to make returns.

One o-f the stancbeat supporters of tb

the oceaii ia Major A. C. Bishop, of 715
Third avenue, Detroit, a civil enginser
of wide experience and considerable prom
inence io his profession. He was assist
ant engineer on the Hudson River RsiJ- J
road in 1S.0, and has since conducted
large engineering operations. He hss
been located in Detroit since 1815, and
baa a large acquaintance among the bual
ncaa men and citizens of tbis city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop ws io the hospital. For two
months he bad the beat of medical at

PiBts, Oct. 18. During Testerdaw'i
OMion of the peace com mil.-ions the
commissioners were occupied with the
Spanish presentatiou of Tuesday aud
the American ariHwer submitted on
Friday relating to Cuba and the debt
ot the island. The examination of the
American written canvans on the sub
ject was jnst concluded today, and will
be continued at the next j int meeting,
following which th Spaniards will
doubtless reply in writing the conclu
sion of the subji-ct soo t following.
The ibUrchangea regarding Cuba are
now so far advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the Untied
i Stiteg' determination not to aie-ame
. part or the whole of the so-called Cuban
debt of $I00,000,0M0. It chould not,

burdens, like thrt mtinicinul obligations
oitheOVan cities, roads and kindred
properties, local and permanent It
should not be forgotton, however, tfat
the American attitude in Cuba is h'eld
not to be that of an a quiring power,

splitting: or haiku.
Closely following this contention the
Spaniards are pressing for a construc
tion ill the word ''relinquish" in the
Cuban article of the protocol.
"We must" they urge, "relinquish
sovereignty over Cuba, but to whom7
We have not agreed to relinquish it to
the Cubans we relinquish it to the
United States."
While this contention is keenly and
vigorously supported, it has not shaken
the jio-ition of the Americans, whocnt
the thread of the Spsnish enn'ention in
the middle of th var "to relinquish"
by sfsur ntr the paniah that they netd
not ch' rish anxiety as to whom to re
Hnquish, but to conform to the fourth
srticle of the protocol, which pledges
Spain "il at Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other Spnnbh islands of the West Indies
shall be in- raed ately evucuate K"
Briefly, the American reppf-nse to
Spanish diplomacy on coustructioa and
definition was that the words "relin
quish" and "evacuate" are i.itrc ange
able bDd have the same n.eaning. Thus
three sessions were given up io patient
ly meeting Spain's views and conten
tions touching the protocol pledge to ie
linquish sovereignty over and title to
Cuba and there is a possibility of two
ec-sions more.
The commifsion will meet again on
Wednesday next.

received from Madrid point to efferves

peace," and come of them even assert
the establishment of a military dictator

Kansas City, Oct. 18 The csrliest
winter storm in the southwest for twenty-five
years, and the worst early storm
on record, has almost completely shut
Kansas City off from communication
with the south, north and west. An
opening on the east has alone kept the
city from being totally isolated.
It hss been raining for the past
twenty-four hours. Shortly after mid
night Sunday night the rain turned in
to snow, and thn temperature dropped
perceptibly. Steadily since then a
heavy, wet snow, driven by a strong
north wind, at points reaching the
velocity of a gale, haa prevailed.
Hundreds of telegraph and telephone
poles out in the open have either been
blown down by the strong wind or
broken by tbe weight of the snow-covered
wire.
Railroad traffic, while more or less
hampered, has not been badly inter
rupted as far as can be learned.
In Kansas City no serious damage haa
resulted. Snow Is reported falling at
PitUburg, Kaa , Bootieville and Chilli
cothe, Mo., and other points in the two
state.
A genuine blizzard prevails in the
southwest and west today. A heavy.
wet inow has
, . , . ,
been fall at since three
o'clock this morning and is driven by a
strong wind, which ha prostrated wirea
in all directions and caused delay to
railroads. The snow followed twenty
four hours of steady rain.
