- The feeling against the cattle thieves
in Knox county is so strong that the
lUoomfield J our mil goes so far as to
practically advocate lynching the mem
bers of the Kothwcll gang. The Jour
nal says: Knox county's citizens should
carefully nurse the injury and insult of
the failure to bring the Roth well gang
to an immediate proof of their inno
cence and insist that justice be not de
ferred by skillful manipulation before
the courts. If these men are innocent
they need have no fear of trial, but if
they show their guilt by attempts to
further dodge a trial we say then that
patience ceases to be a virtue.
The South Omaha Drover's Journal

buyers here wanted hogs. Prices are
a good ."10c higher and trade active
at the advance with late sales fully as
good as any time of the day and every

shippers did a fair amount of business
in good heavy and butcher weights.
A Rawlins, (Wyoming) dispatch says:
James Brown, who last week was en
gaged in a snooting affray with John
Arnold on the Upper Sweetwater, died
Friday morning. Brown was a Texan
and worked several years for the Olives
of Nebraska, leaving there just after
the burning of the old German settler,
which resulted in one of the most close
ly contested trials in the history of Ne
braska, ending in the conviction of the
Olives. W hile not a bad man at heart,
Brown could not resist taking a maver
ick wherever he found it upon the
range, which resulted in his be.ng sev
eral times arrested and ultimately his
death from blood poisouing "from the
wonnd received in the shooting scrape
with Arnold.
Thirteen or fourteen years ago Dr. J.
J. Byrne, a practising physician of
Table Rock, 'got into some financial
trouble, in connection with the late
John Blacklaw, his partner, in the win
of 1S80, and about February, 1SS1, sud
denly left for California. He had a
wife'in Table Rock at that time and
three children. He wrote back until
the following August, after which bo
further news ever came from him. It
has lately transpi.ed that he married
at Livingston, Tex., some -twelve years
since and committed suicide by shoot
ing himself after a protracted debauch,
leaving a wife and two children at that
place. As he left some property in
vestigations are being made as to the
rightful heirs thereto.
A Butte dispatch says: Ft. Randall
and the military reserve was abandoned
by the government several months
back. Settlers have been squatting on
the farm lands. A man was detailed
to take charge of the buildings at the
fort by the' government. Last week a
large force of Lower Brule Indians,
with their families, etc., under Big'
Bear, moved onto the reservation and
have taken possession of the buildings.
They number among them 200 warri
ors. The old chief holds the fort in the
commander's own home. They claim
possession and title under their treaty
ceding the land to the government only
for military puposes, and it to revert to
the Indian owners when abandoned by
the United States.
Judge Strode.saysa Lincoln dispatch,
is still endeavoring to unravel.the tan
gle of Auditor Moore and Commissioner
General Garneau. But the ' tangle is
not yet made straight. Auditor Moore
testified that he had refused to yay
some of the claims because tiiey were
not properly itemized, not in proper
form, and in some cases merely the re
ceipt of the supplies that the claim had
beea paid. He claimed that 'the prices
charged for some of the "furniture in
the Nebraska building were excessive,
and called experts to prove it Mr.
Garneaa denied that the prices charged
were pxorbit nt, and tsaid that he had
devoted 'ail'th'e time -necessary to his
dut'es as ..commissioner. - He said that
he had charged railroad fare" up to the
state because the railroads had refused
passes to -prld's fair officials. He ad
mitted that he had a pass, but said that
was none of the state's business, as it
was gives to him because of his freight
skimaeats.

Sir John Coch
rane was one of
the most fonn
idaule enemies td
his dangerous
usurpations.and one ef the most prom
inent actors in Argyle's rebellion. Por
Bgcs a destructive doom seemed to
have hung over the" house of Camp
bell; uniting in a commdn ruin all
who joined their fortunes td toecatise
ofits chief. Sir John Cochrane was
no exception. He was surrounded
by the king's troops, and, after a long
and desperate resistance, he was taken
prisoner.andwas tried and condemned
to'die upon the scaffold. He had but
a few days to- live, and his jailer
awaited enly the arrival of the death
war raut lo lead him to execution,
tfis friends had visited him and 6x
chanped tne last farewells all but
one; his daughter Grizel; the pride of
his bouse, h s dearest treasure, she
alone had not come to receive his last
blessing.
Night had fallen on the prison, and
the father sat with his head pressed
against the cold, damp walls of his
cell, longing for a last look of his
favorite child, when the door ooened;
and the keeper entered, followed by a
youbg and beautiful girl. Her person
was tall and commanding, her eyes
dark, bright, arid tearless with a sor
row too deep to bb went away. . The
unhappy prisoner raised his. head.
'My child!. my own Grizel!" he ex
claimed, as he nressed lien to his heart.
"My father! my d'-ar father!"
sobbed the miserable maiden.
"Your interview must be short, very
short," Said the jailer as he closed tbd
door, and left them together.
"Heaven held and comfort
thee, my precious child!" said
Sir John. "I had feared that I
should die without bestowing my
blessing on the head of my daughter,
and that stung me more than death;
but thou art come, my love thou art
Come! dud the last blessing of thy
wretched father "
"Nay, father, forbear !"' she ex
claimed; "not thy last blessing! not
thy last! My father shall not die!"
"Be calm," be calm, my child," he
said. "Would to .Leaven that I could
comfort thee, mv own! But there is
no hope; within three days thou and
all my little ones will be" Father
less, he would have said, but the
words died upon his lips
"Three days," she repeated, raising
her head from his breast, but eagerly
pressing his hand; "three days! then
there is hope my father shall live
Is not my grandfather the friend of
Father Petre. the confessor and mas
ter of the king? From him he shall
beg the life of his son, and my father
shall not die."
"Nay, nay, my Grizel," he returned,
"be not deoieved; there is no hope.
Already my doom is sealed. Already
the king has signed the order for my
execution, and the messenger of
death is now on his way."
"Yet my father shall not shall not
die!" she repeated emphatically, and
clasping her hands, "Heaven speed a
daughter's purpose!" she exclaimed;
and turning to her father, said calmly,
"We part now, but we shall meet
again."
"What do you mean, my child?" he
inquired eagerly, gazing anxiously
on her face.
"Ask not now," she replied, "my
father, ask not now. Pray for me,
and bless me, but not with thy last
blessing."
He again pressed her to his heart,
and wept upon her neck. In a few
moments the jailer entered, and the
door was closed between the father
and daughter.
On the evening of the second day
after this interview, a wayfaring man
crossed the drawbridge at Berwick
from the north, and, proceeding along
Marygate, sat down to rest uoon a
bench, by the door of an inn on
the south side of the street,
nearly fronting the spot where
what was called the "main guard"
then stood. He did not enter the inn,
for it was above his apparent con
dition, being that which Oliver Crom
well had made his headquarters a few
years before, and where, at a some
what earlier period, James VI. of
Scotland had taken up his residence,
when on his way to England. The
traveler wore a coarse jerkin, fastened
round the waist by a leathern girdle,
and over it a short cloak of plain
material. He was evidently a young
man, but his beaver was drawn down
so as almost to conceal his features.
In one hand he carried a sin ill bundle,
and in the other a staff. Having called
for a glass of wine, he took a crust of
bread from his bundle, and after rest
ing a short time, rose to depart. Night
was coming on, and a storm was
threatening. The heavens grew black;
the clouds rushed from the sea; sud
den gusts of wind moaned through
the streets, accompanied by heavy
drops of rain, and the face of the
Tweed was troubled.
"Heaven help thee if thou intendest
to travel lar in such a night as this!"
said the sentinel nt the English gate,
as the traveler passed him to cross the
bridge.
In a few minutes he was upon the
wide aud desolate moor of Tweed
mouth; which for miles presented a
desert of furze, fern, and stunned
heath, with here and there a copse of
thick brushwood. He slowly toiled
over the steep hill, braving the storm,
which now raged with the wildest
fury. The rain fell in toi rents, 'and
the wind howled like a legion of fam
ished wolves, hurling its doleful echoes
over the heath. Still the stranger
pushed onward, until two or three
miles from Berwick, when, as if una
ble to longer brave the storm, he'
sought shelter amidst some bashes by
the wayside. Nearly an hour had
passed since he sought this imperfect
refuge, and the darkness of the night
and the storm had increased together,
when the sound of a horse's feet was
heard hurriedly plashing along the
road. The rider bent his bead to the
blast. Suddenly his horse was
grasped by the bridle; the,rider raised
his head, and the stranger stood be
fore him holding a pistol to his
breast "Dismount!" cried the
stranger sternly.
The horseman, benumbed and fear
stricken, made an effort to reach his
arms; but instantly the hand of the
robber, quitting the bridle, grasped
the breast of the rider and dragged
him to the ground. He fell heavily
on his face, and for several minutes
was senseless. The stranger seized
the leather bag which contained, the
mail for the north, and flinging it
across his shoulder, rushed across tke
heath.
Early on the following moraing the
inhabitants - of Berwick were - seen
harrying in groups to the spot where
the robbery had been committed, but
no trace of the robber coald be ob-tuuied.
Three days had passed and.Sir John
Ceehraae atill lived. The mail which
contained his death-warrant had been
robbed, aad before another order for
his execution coald be given, the in
tercession, of his father, the earl of
Duadonald, with the king's con
fessor, might be successful.
Grizel now became the almost
constant companion of her father.
Nearly a .fortnight 'had passed
since the robbery of the mail,. and
protracted hope id the bosom df the
prisoner became more bitter than his
first despair; But even that hope;
bitter as it was, perished. The in
tercession of his father had been
unsuccessful; and a second King James
signed the death-warrant Within
little more than another day that
warrant wonld reach tho prison.
'The will of- Heaven be donel"
groaned tHe captive.
j'Ameri!" responded Grizel with wild
vehemence, "'yet my father shall dot
die."
Again the rider with the mail had
reached the moor of Twcedmouth,
aad. a second time he bore with him
the doom of Sir John Cochrane. He
spurred his horse to its utmost speed
he looked cautiously before, behind,
and around, and in his right hand he
carried a pistol ready to defend him
self. The moon stied a ghdtly light
across the heath. & He turned the
angle df a straggling corpse when his
horse reared at the rdport of a pistol,
the fire of which seemed to flash in its"
very eyes, a At the same moment
his owd pistol went off,' and,

The mall arose, andf returned to
Berwick, Jod the' robber? mounting the
horse, rofle rapidw across the heath.
Preparationswjre making for the
execution of Sjrohn Cochrane, and
the officers of Ihe law waited only for
the arrival ofbe mail .with the sec
ond death-warrant, when the news
arrived that the niail had again been
robbed. For yet fourteen days the
prisoner's life would be prolonged.
Putting his arms about his daughter,
he said, "It is good. The hand of
Heaven is in this!" .
"Said I not," replied his child, and
for the first time she wept, "said I not
that my father should not die?"
The fourteen days were not past
when the prison-door flew open; and
"dismount!" cried the strangkk.
the earl of Dnndonald rushed to the
arms of his son.. His intercession with
the confessor had been successful, and,
after twice signing the warrant for
the execution of Sir John, the king
had sealed his pardon.
ne hurried With his father to hit
own house; his "family were clinging
around him, shedding tears of joy
Grizel only was absent. They were
marveling with gratitude at the mys
terious providence that had twice in
tercepted the mail, and saved his lire,
when a stranger craved an audience.
Sir John desired him to be admitted,
and the robber entered; he was dressed
in a coarse cloak, and coarser jerkin,
but his bearing seemed beyond his'
condition. On entering, he slightly
touched his beaver, but did not re
move it
"When you have read these," said
he, taking two paters from his bosom,
"cast them into the fire."
Sir John glanced them over
started, and became pale. They were
his death warrants.
"My deliverer!" he exclaimed; "hov

The oldearl grasped the hand of
the stranger the children embraced
his knees. He pressed his hand to his

"By what name,' eagerly inquired
Sir John, "shall I thank my deliverer.''
She stranger wept aloud, and rais

Grizel Cochrane fell over the coarse

It is unnecessary to add more. The
reader can supply the rest, and we
mav only add that Grizel Cochrane,
whose heroism we have briefly
sketched, was the grandmother of the
grandmother of the late Sir John
Stewart of Allendank in Berwickshire
and great-grandmother of Mr. Coutts,
the celebrated banker. Consequently
she was the great-great-great-grandmother
of Baroness Bnrdett-Coutts.

Lice, ticks and similar vermin of
animals arc so numerous in many
barnyards that it is almost impossible
to abate tho nuisance, and clean
animals that are brought to tho
placo aro soon infected with them.
Tho surroundings of the pens, hovels I
auu varus aro sucn as to ureeti vermin, :
and it is not possible to control them
until tho sanitary conditions of the
piaco aro imnrovod. The v'ilo ail-.
und stenches and rotting composi
tion of soil, urino and manure aro
enough to sicken tho animals and to
breed a 1 sorts df injurious parasite;.
Tne irritation of tho parasites and
Ihc foul air together are frequently
tho direct cause of lean animals
sickness and general lack of appetite, j
Alio ocsb in ng to uu is to iurn mo
animals out idto the clean, swoet
Acids, and give tho barnyards anl
hovels a thorough overhauling.
As it is in tho winter that vermin
id the most harm to auiumls, it is
woll to look into the matter in tho
autumn. If the sheep and cows
bring lice and ticks into their winter
quarters, thoy are very apt to spread
and increase rapidly in numbers, so
that the whole winter will bo made
tnieorablo fof tho animals. If tho
surroundings are favorable to their
growth, they will thrivo so much tho
bettor.
The stablos, sheds and winter
quarters of all stcck should be thor
oughly Cleaned before cold weather.
The floor should bo mudo of clean.
Bwcet soil carted from some distance
away. Thti boards should either bo
whitewashed or covered with a coat
of strong kerosene oil and turpen
tine Make everything as sweet as
possible. Then, before taking tho
stock into these quarters, they should
be thoroughly examined, one by one,
and those that 'show any signs of
lice or ticks should be treated to an
application of some liquid that will
destroy the vermin. Take two parts
of lard and one of kerosene add rub
tho animals thoroughly, smearing
cvory part of them with hc liquid
and working it into thoir skin.
This will gonerally drive away the
vermin from cattle and calved, says
tho American Cultivator. Persian
insect powder is gcrtrt for horses and
hogs, and somo linseed oil rubbed in
add then washed oft two or three
hours lat&r. Ticks on sheep and
lambs should be destroyed by a de
coction of tobacco, or the kerosene
amulsion Will answer the same pur
pose. They should be treated to this
at shearing time, and again in tho
fall, before going into winter quar
ters. The injury that vermin do to cat
tle and all animals can hardly be es
timated. They worry and irritato
them to such an extent that thoy do
not make the most of their food, but
really get thin and lean off the very
richest and best-feeding rations.
They will often cause sickness sim
ply through the irritation caused by
the itching, and everything should
bo done to destroy thorn.
A Permanent Pasturr.
Thcro is no question of more im
portance to the dairyman and gen
sral stock breeder than that of se
curing a good, permanent pasture.
It is so rarely that wo see such a
pasture that it -is worth while to
consider how we can obtain it The
desired permanence of grass for
pasture is secured only when tho
grass will stand continual cropping,
is hardy and will produce a succes
sion of good growths. It must
naturally form a thick, closo turf in
order to resist tho injurious offects
cf dry weather, und at the same time
to form such a thick matt'ng over
bead late in the season as will pro
tect tho roots f : om the sovero cold
of winter. The danger to good gras3
lands in late fall cropping comes
from the alternate freezing and thaw
ing which broads up the ground and
exposes the roots of the grass to the
cold, and if the tojs of the plants arc
all eaten of! thcro is no protection
left Where thero is a good cover
in?, however, the grass roots aro
kept from being winter killed, and
the turf is al-o so thick that frost
will not throw tho root up to any
great extent
(. n low. heavy soils a pormanent
pasture should, as a rule, ho a little
different from one situated on a high,
dry soil. On the low. heavy soils,
red-top, alsike, meadow fescue and
some of the clovers do well for a per
manent pasture.
Clover itself will not stand much
pasturing, but even in a po:manent
pasture field it helps to till up with a
great deal of nutritious herbage, and
it is valuable to mix with other
grcss;s. For the first two seasons it
will yiela an abundance of grass for
cropping. Red clover, however, is
not very good in a permanent pas
ture, and it is better to leave it out
and take some of the other varieties.
On light, dry soils, such as we
have scattered all through our hilly
sections and on the sides of hills, a
permanent pasture can be obtained
better by making mixtures from some
.of the other grasses. For instance,
selections can be made with success
from orchard grass, Kentucky blue,
alsike, re J clover and meadow fescue.
These can be added to when desired,
for many other grasses appear' to be
prolific in certain localities that do
not grow well in others. They will
generally add to the mixture of these
selected grasses. The question of
cheapness must also be considered,
for, in making our mixtures for a
permanent pasture, it does not al
ways pay to select tho most expensive
seed. In tho end the most costly
varieties are not always the most
prolific and nutritious.
" Tn making .a permanent pasture
two questions must be kept in mind
continually. One is that we need
luxuriant plants and a vast amount
of rapidly growing herbage. The
plants must continue to grow
through the whole season. The
other point is that w'e need a thick,
close, dense turf. Without this the
plants will be killed by the late fall
cropping, and the pasture will quick
ly degenerate .Kearly all porma
nent pastures need aa annual toe
dressing, and thoy will last longer

Wo can do a good deal to prevent
stagnation in tho growth of tho
youngster by placing the maro and
the foal in a cool, darkened box stall
during the warmest hours of tho day
and supplying sich focd as tho work
ing horses aro getting, until tho fod
der corrt is fit to use. which may bo
come almost tho ontiro food after
they have becorao accustomed to it
It will pay well to supply tho foal
with a quantity of cow's mill; each
day, also seme crushed oats and bran
placed in a middlo pen where the
dam cannot enter. By this treatment
tho foal will readily learn to take a
considerable quantity of tho food
mentioned, and thus prepare it to bo
woaned early if tho dam's services
aro required for the fall work.
When the foal is to bo' taken from
tho dam it should be tied to an ad
joining stall, with tho partition so
open that they aro in plain view of
each other, and tho food of tho mare
should bo reduced to a small ration
of dry oats and bay. When tho ud
der becomes so full as to cause her
uneasiness, a patt of the milk should
be drawn off, but she should not be
milked dry. Tho first milking may
bo done by the foal itsolf, but after
Wards it should bo done by hand, as
the milk in tho drying-oft process
Boon becomes unfit for tho foal; and,
besides, drying off will bo moro
speedily accomplished than if tho
offspring is occasionally permitted t.i
suck. Aftor the milk has entirely
dried up the mare and colt may be
separated.
Skimmed milk may still bo given
to the foal, especially if the condi
tion is not up to what may be desired,
but clean, sound oats, ground or tin
ground, constituto tho best of .all
grain foods. Wo prefer to have
them ground, and as cold weather
approaches one-fourth in weight of
corn or pea meal may profitably bo
added; or, as wheat is low, four-fifths
oats and c no-fifth wheat will bo
found a capital grain ration, as it
holps to lay on fat and keeps up tho'
animal heat. A little o:l meal, say
a pint a day, may also bo profitably
given with tho oats for somo time
after weaning. Do not bo afraid of
feeding too liberally. Moro foals
are injured tho first six months after
weaning by too scanty a supply of
food than from the opposite extreme.
As soon as the foal has forgotten its
dam it should have the run of a good
pasture, as there is no food better

CUEING CONSUJIFTION
THE AMICK DISCOVERY NOW

The press of the eatire country are
awakening to the vital importaeeof
the recently discovered cure forcon
sumptioa. The most inlaeatia. aaws
papers aorth, south, east and went unito
ia editorials calling attentlo to the
universal success the treatment is meet
ing with in crushing out tho deadly
disease and ia praise of the raaliaess
show by the majority of the medical
profession ia so promptly accef sing it,
regardlesa of the fact that Dr. Amick
has not as yet disclosed his forraraae.
Without aa exception tke press of the
couBtry have Bothing but the severest
eeasare for the few Barrew-mlBdcd
conservatives ia the awdieal profes
sion who, while ackaowledging them
selves utterly anable to benefit, aot
to say sure, the poor consumptive,
refuse to prescribe the life-giving
medicine, giving as their only reason
that Amick violates their code of
ethics in not making public his
formulae for fools to tamper with. The
Louisville Commercial says editorally:
"The codo of ethics among physicians,
like the social code among clab men,
maybe advantageous, but the law does
sot recognize either and cannot prop
erly be used to enforce either as such.
Dr, Amick of Cincinnati haa discovered
a remedy for-consumption. He is very
free to furnish his medicines to other
physicians, and according to reports,
apparently .well authenticated, his
remedies have proved very efficacious.
A committee of physicians went to
Cincinnati a few days ago to investi
gate tho matter .and were convinced
that Dr. Amick had made a valuable
discovery, but one of the physicians
charged that Dr. Amick was guilty of
unprofessional conduct; in other words,
that he had violated the code of eth
ics. Dr. Amick is a regular physician
of good standing in the community
and has been in good standing with
his confreres of medicine, aud even" if
he has violated the code of ethics, the
laws of Ohio cannot be used against
him."
The Minneapolis Journal says: Dv
Amick. who has acquired a great deal
of celebrity of late by his successful
treatment of phthisis, has recently had
his cure investigated by and at the insti
gation of the newspapers at Cleveland.
Of ten almost hopeless cases whick were
selected only one died, two were pro
nounced cured, four showed marked im
provement, and three were much im
proved. In all cases there was an
increase in weight, and the subjects had
been only under treatment for two
months. The physicians who watched
the course of treatment all expressed
themselves as satisfied with the cure
and testified as to the great value of
the discovery. But a number of doc
tors who were interviewed accused Dr.
Amick of "violating the code." He has
made one of the most wonderful and
valuable discoveries ever hoped for in
medicine, butvhe refuses to give the
formula to every Tom, Dick and Harry
to monkey with, and he therefore vio
lates the code. It is a noteworthy fact
that tho majority of physicians who have
so much to say about the code" never
accomplish anything of note,, but feel
sat6fkd if only they have kept their
senseless fetich from rude violation.
Fortunately the public, which gives the
physician his support, doesn't care a fig
for the "code," and is always ready and
willing to give honor and credit to the
man who discovers anything that will
alleviate the sufferings of humanity,
whether he keeps his formula to him
self or gives it freely away for quacks
to pick up and use in their business. ,
The Minneapolis Times, after refer
ring editorially to the action of tho
state board of health of Michigan in
placing consumption on the list of in
fectious diseases, recommends the
Amick treatment, because "thirty or
more physicians in the city are using
the medicines compounded by Dr. Amick .
in their practice and arc of the opinion
that the medicines accomplish more
than the discoverer claims. It may be
that a reliable cure has been found bnt
if not that it seems certain that a help
has been introduced which greatly as
sists the fight against this enemy of
human life."
To Isolate Coasaasptives.
Piiu.adei.imha, Pa., Oct 14 The ac
tion of the County Medical society in
asking the board of health to isolate
consumptives has increased their fears
occasioned by startling head-lines in a
local paper by the resolution of the
medical congress in Washington and by
the state legislature of Michigan all de
claring the deadly disease infectious.
The deaths from consumption have de
creased everywhere during the past
year, and Dr. Fleck, with a few others, '
ascribes this to his isolation theory.
Medical experts investigating deeper,
however, say it is due to the Amick
cure, free test packages of which are
distributed broadcast to all consump
tives through physicians. One author
ity saya: "The doctors talking isola
tion could better devote their attention
to the authentic cures by the Cincinnati
treatment reported daily in the medi
cal and secular press."
Minneapolis, Oct 14. Recent edi
torials In the local press on the Amick
cure for consumption have excited ul-
'tra-conservative doctors. The Time
says: "It seems reasonably certain it
will greatly assist the fight against the
enemy of human life, for thirty or more
lo:al physicians say the medicine ac
complished more than the discover
claimed." The Journal's editorial af
ter saying "it is one of the most valu
able and wonderful disvoveries ever
hoped for in medical science, congratu
lates humanity that the formulae is not
given to every Tom, Dick or Harry 'to
monkey with and is preserved from" the
tampering of fool empiricists." Tlw
doctors say the editorials are direct
blows against the medical code 'of
ethics.
