A newspaper friend sends us the
following resume of Hon. John Shore's
work in the legislature , v.hichvc
submit to our readers without com
ment :
Hon. John H. Shore has occupied a very iude-
licndeiit po.-ition in the house during the session
jiiHtcluvd and if a-ty member ever hid any
doubt thai he cai rit-d bram > and integrity und r
his hat they have undoubtedly changed their
mind by this time. He was promptly labeled
as a sold standard democrat by the republican
pre.se. but whatever his private views mibe : on
the money question la never lor a moment for
got that he was elected by the fusion forces ot
Cherry county , and while he kept thf republi
cans guessing during the long senatorial con
test he nn\'er wavered in his allegiance to
Senator Alien but voted and worked tor him to
the end , refusing to go int > any combination to
elect Thompson or any other republican against
the regular nominee of tlie republican caucus.
That his judgment wa goo-l on that point has
since i e.m demonstrated by the nreaking up of
the republican majority in the IIOUM * and the
ibility of the fusionists to control three-sevenths
o , the iiiiiil legislation and to block nearly ail of
the republican gang measures whercbv it wa- >
expected to reiuy po itic.tl d 'bra out of the stale
ticasury.
In ongii/al committee appointments , Mr.
Shore was treated like all the rest of th ; lusion-
ists ignoiedas to his desires and the places
where he cou'iO do the best work-and given
minority places on committees on School Lands
and Funds. Irrigation , and Public Lands and
Buildings. In these positions he attended to
such work as came t * him and at various tunes
appearc I before otner committees in the inter
est nt what appeared to him to be desirable leg
islation. He only had two bills before the
house : one to amend the irame law , the features
of which were incorporated in a more extended
bill which was passed throiign the committee of
the whole without trouble , and the other a
measure for listing personal property for tax.
ation , which was indefinitely postponed by tile
ommittec.
Tlii * htuiuy independence of Mr. Shore is best
shown i.i the record ot his vote of the relict bill
for the two Nebraska regiments at the front and
011 the resolution asking the recall of Colonel
Stotzenberg from command of the first regiment.
When the bill toappropri tte 8J.OOJ to the two
regiments came up there was- such a sci.ti-
mental pressure around the capital that it was
very unpopular to even whisper against it , yet
Mr. Shore and one other member went on
record against it , explaining that in his jim\-
ment it was merely a sort of sentimental sop to
th j friends of the boys at the front and did not
a pi r jpnatee.iough money to do them any good
less than a dollar each and that he would not
be a party to such an act. He repeatedly offered
to vote for an appropriation of not less than
? 10,000 lor the same purpose , but he did not pro
pose to degrade the state by such a snull act.
\Vnen the resolution to recall Col. Stot/.eiiberg
ca.ne up Lo opposed it in the face of a hot seiM-
meut which swelled and surged aroiuut the
legislature. He listened to the reading of lelte s
from the boys who thought the colonel was in-
terierin with their liberty and paid strict at
tention t ) ail the charges of tyrffuny anil o ; > -
prtSMonmade by eloquent advocates oa the
.loor , but lie was perMOimlly acquainted with the
colonel and his own experience had taugnt him
the necessity of drill organization if any
lighting was to be done and he voted against
tne resolution. Events have hhmvn that his
judgment was good. 1'he Fiis-i Nebraska n.is
been baptized with tire , some of her heroes
sleep the sleep that knows no waking , but jom-
phunts against the colonel have ce.tsed. We
now Know that the strict discipline he maiu-
uii .ed has inured to ths protection ot our boys
from siuKiicSS an I tr their development , i > ito
lighters who are the pride of our army in tne
Philippines , t'hat vote must be a source of
pride to Mr. ah jre today.
When tht icsDhition to invc-stigite. tne su-
piea.ecomt was udup.tcby \ the hoiiso Air.
Shore was made a meai'-er ' ut the eoni-mltee by
the speaker wao retiiaed to let him off and ap
point Mr. Stitwss who had moved for the in
vestigation. When Mr. Shore found that he
was to be forced into Hie work he aike.l per
mission to be allowed a secretary with authority
o paiticipatc m the work He insis'ed so
itrenuiiusly ni > on this that it was granted and
lie selected Air. Sturgcss and defeated thu inte t
ot the rc'.iiblicaiis to whitew.isn the court , lie
not only brought out the uict that the most un-
IduB.iing nepotism was practiced lo memutrs 01

Norval had been m collusion with i rcasun-r
Battlc.x and had been p ml ill 'gai.y i.ir : i : - salary

state and itw.is owing ; to the cuoj iushtenee < M
Mr. Shore that Mr titiuvie-vi was alinwo I t > act
with th- committee and bring out thesj things.
No member of tlio Nebraska legislature was
ever put in a more trying position , and no
member ever came om with a oetler record for
absolute fairness while trying to leave nothing
unctiveied or unexplained. The detai.s ot" the
testimony regard ! , g.Judge Noival arc so well
Known now that it is not necessary to even
epitomize them here , but the ( on-fitaents ot Mr.
Shore can rest assured that bat for him no at
tempt would ever have been made to bring into
the lull light of the public gaze the methods of
tlio-.e judges who have disgraced the bench up
on which they sit und by which one of them , at
least , has nuule'hiaiself a candidate for trial
upon a crimi ial charge. .

jJills for wotf scalps should be sent in
at once.
The Iowa Homestead in answer to
what is blackleg , says : The most
characteristic symptom of the disease
is the appearance of a tumor or swell
ing under the skin of the affected ani
mal , which is preceded by a loss of ap
petite and of rumination , with dullness ,
debility and a high fever. The tumor )
may be located on the thigh , the nec.x , {
the shoulder , the breast , the Hanks or ;
the rump , but never below the knee or '
the hock joint. Jt is rare in the throat i
or at the base of the tongue. The
tumor , which is at first small and pain
ful , spreads rapidly , i.'oth in depth and
extent. When it is stroked or handled
a peculiar crackling sound is heard
under the skin , due to the collection of
gas formed by the baci.li as they multi
ply. At this sUige the skin becomes i
dry , parelnnout-liko and cool to the j
touch in the center of tlie tumor , and
if the swelling be cut into a frothy ,
dark red , ralher di igrerable smelling
lluid is discharged. The animal will j
manifest little or r.o pain during the
operation.
The prieeo of stoek e.tttie. especially
the cow stock , i. ? verv irregular : in
V
some localities it is impossible to buy
coves or heifers , while in others there
is a difference of from $5 to $ ( > pet-
head placed upon cattle of same age ,
grade and condition , which indicates
that tlio fever is raging , but is of a
more erratic character in some districts
than in others. Another distinctive
feature which the cattle raising busi
ness in Nebraska is now manifesting is
the disposition to grow belter cattlu in
grade and qtrilHv than in the pist.
The purchase of thoroughbred and
vegiistered breeding auimils is now as
common among the smaller cattle
holdings as formerly along the cattle
kinrrs , who hid ample means at com
mand. Better cattle and more cattle is
now the demand and the improvement
in the general cattle stock of Nebraska
in the next five ye.irs will mark a
period in cattle develop nent that it
will be dilHcult to excel in the matter
of improvement in qtrility.Vorld -
