THE END 'OF THE PLAGUE ,
The TCLS Cattle Ferer Gradually Dis-
From Nebraska ,
The lUsport of Stock IJOBHCS Grontly
John A. MoShano , of this city , who i
largely engaged in the cattle business
and who has boon out along the line of
the Union Pacific road in western Ne
braska and Montana during the Texas
fever excitement , returned from his trip
the early part of this week.
This gentleman was interviewed last
evening by a reporter concerning this
disease , the extent of its ravages , and the
accounts concerning the samo. It was
learned from him that the statements
have all been grossly uxa gcratod as to
the number of diseased and dead cattle.
MSSKS I'KOM WHBARK.
At Ogallala only ono herd numbering
GO has boon attacked by the Texas fever ,
and of those 53 are now doad. Those
wore a lot of yearlings chipped from Jowa
nst spring , and when taken with the
fever were out on pasture.
At Brady's Island , Lynch and McCul-
och have each lost about 40 head from
lords of no great size. Their cattle also
were brought from Iowa last spring.
At Maxwell , out of Plummor'u hard
numbering 300 , between HO nud 00 head
lave died. Their cattle were natives
and had boon feeding along the line of
the Union Pacific road sinca spring.
Besides the losses mentioned above
3reen it Burke , out of n herd of oows
ihippod to Brady'o Island , from Norfolk
ind Blair to Mr. MoShano , about thirty
: OWB were rejected as being too old.
They were turned loose at thin place and
af or were taken to a ranchnorth of North
'latto , where seven of them have since
lied with thq fover. , fc
These losses not aggregating more than
wo hundred head are the sum total of
ill cattle that have died of the Texas fever
n Western Nebraska durinq the recent
ixcitoment. A peculiar phiso of this
nortality also is that all the dead cattle
Tith ono exception were taken into that
ouniry from SVeatorn Iowa or Eastern
Nebraska.
TIIK CONDITION Of OTIliMl HP.ULW.
Mr. Brntt , of the firm of John Bratt
b Co. , that owns a largo h rd on * the

? lattotohis range for the purpose of
scortalning if his stock had become in-
octod by the disease. This company's
Attlo have boon for several months
ooding beside Ilankin's herd , which it
s thought brought the fever to Brady's
eland. The party returned last Sunday
nd reported that Bratt & Co.'s herd
roro free from the fovor. The name
> arty passed through Kankln'o range ,
> ut found no dead cattle or traces of dis
use.
TIIK KK8TII.T Or AN AUTOPSY
Mr. McShano stated ho was present on
Friday at an autopsy of ono of Soarl's
lord , which had died recently of the
over. The postmortem exhibited a
pleon twice its normal nizo , the liver
; roatly enlarged , the bladder filled with
olood and the stomach ulcerated. Besides -
sides those signs of disease , the contents
Dfjtho gall wore of the consistency of tar
ind black. These are said by old stock-
Don to bo the always attending signs of
fexas fever , which nearly all have con-
ludcd it is.
The infected herds of cattle at those
loints along the line of the U. P. road
ira out now in pasture but are kept
oparato. A herd of Toxana also re-
ontly shipped into OgalUla is being
[ iiarantincd at that ] > qint. Mr. McShano
ays the fears of stockmen in that country
invo entirely subsided and their faith in
ho future of western Nebraska ns a

CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER
An Oraalia Physician Arrested on a
Serious Chaige ,
Young Houfok Alleged to Have Died
Irom Malpractice ,
Yesterday afternoon Henry Durham , n
physician living at 1724 Douglas street ,
was brought before Judge Bonoko charged
with manslaughter for the killing ol
James lloufek.
From statements of the doctors and
witnesses for the state , it appears that
James Houfolr , a boy about fifteen years
old , was brought in from the country to
his homo on South Thirteenth street last
Friday , at which time ho was suffering
from an attack of pneumonia. Dr. Dur
ham was called in.and proscribed aconite
for his patient in doses of twenty grains
each , to bo taken every hiur until the
fever should be reduced nud
stated ho could not return
before noon of Saturday as ho was mov
ing. At the appointed hour the doctor
returned and found his patient dead ,
The attendants of lloufek Bay that
after taking four doses ho had become so
law thatthoy resolved togivo him no more
medicine. Ho lingered until noon of
Saturday , when ho died. The pironta of
thn boy thinking his death might have
been unused by prescribing the wrong
mcdicino or giving an overdose , wont to
the druggist were the proscription wan
filled and there learned that from ono
to live drops of this narcotic is n dose for
an adult. Thomothnr of tno boy yesterday
todotorrnino the oll'ect of this medicine
took fifteen drops iuul was soon so
prostrated that medical aid was called in
Dr. Durham was then sent f > > r and wan
shown his prescription and also what the
books say is a dose of aconite It is said
the doctor seized the proscription and
started for the city when ho was appre
hended and hold until a policeman took
htm into custody.
Dr. Durham does net deny prescribing
twenty graiim but stated there are two
kinds of aconite , the British and the
American. The former ho says is the
much weaker of the two and the kind ho
has boon accustomed to uso. It appears
ho did not mention the British and the
American was given.
It was also charged that the defendant
was not a registered physician and upon
examination it was found ho had filed his
certificate last Monday. Mr. Durham
says ho has boon t practicing physician
for fourteen years and is a graduate of
Rush Medical college in the class of I860.
Ho came to Omaha from Crete about two
years ago. It was learned ho had prac
ticed in Houfo&'s family and was consid
ered by its members as a good physician.
The examination was continued until
this afternoon at 2 o clock. The defend
ant was placed under $1,000 bonds , which
bo furnished and was released.

S. Jackson , charging him with embezzle-
niont. The complaint alleges that on
the 20th day of November plaintiff gave
to the defendant the sum of $10 to pay n
bill then duo against plaintiff , and that
the defendant did not put the money to
the use intended , but spent it for his
own pleasures viz. got drunk with it.
Jackson acknowledged having spent the
money for whisky , and wrote- Jotter to
Sessions in which ho requested * him to
never apeak of the matter again. Ses
sions did speak of the matter , however ,
and now proposes to prosecute Jackson
to the full extent of the law. Since

Mooting of Oitl/.on' * I
An interesting mooting of the Citizen's

Copeland , 0. F. Davis , Samuel Uawvor
and others. Action was taken in regard
to securing an increased membership ,
plans of action and other important matters -
tors of the loaguu were discussed.
The league will moot again on the first
Tuesday of uoxt month , at which time
action will bo taken toward changing the
regular monthly mooting to the second
Tuesday of each month. This arrange-
inont will , it is thought , ctuso the meetings -
ings to bo moro easily attended by the
business men of the city , of whom many

league , _ _ _ _ _ _ _

A few week * elnco a Heater was taken
from the river near the bridge and
Coroner Maul hold an inquest upon the
body. In the trousers leg was fastened
a fish spear. It now transpires that the
body had been found about twelve miles
above Council Bluffs , on the Iowa side ,
and that the parties who found it fast
ened it with the spear while they
notified the coroner of the fact. The
oorouor returned with them but upon
reaching the place where the body had
boon left , it wu found that it had
weighed auchof , slipped its cable and
Heated down the stream.
It was a very rainy day , and the com
nor and his companions were oblitrod to
drive in a roundabout way , nearly twcn- 1
ty miles , to reach the place and consequently
quently were drenched to the skin and
of course were not highly pleased at find
ing "no stiff. " It is said that the coroner
ner waseo exasperated nt losing his game ,
that ho empanelled a jury and hold an in
quest upon thu spot where the floater had
boon , without oven seeing the body.
This noes to prove how vastly superior
this side of the river is to the other side.
Even the dead men will not stay over
there unless they are fastened so securely
that is is impossible to got away. Omaha
is the boss place and they all steer for
hero , if only to bo buried.

Pro Hnbishnw , o New York , found the following in Price's
Powder :
TAETRATEOPLIMB _ 11.83per ct.
Aside from tuo inferiority of a powder containing o useless substouco
equnling about one-eighth of its entire weight ( and which is the cause of
the gro I lack of sfreugth of Price's Baking Powder ag shown by thu
tests of the Government Chemists ) , there ia to bo considered the seriou"
consequences that may nrise from taking this large amount of lime i
the system.
Lime carfnot be decomposed by heat , and is not eliminated in
or baking , and therefore all of this enormous proportion , as found in
Price's Baking Powder , remains in the bread , biscuit , or cake with whiob
it is mixed , and is token into the stomnsh.
By the application of heat to lime carbonic acid gas in driven oil'ai J
there is left quick-lime , n caustic so powerful thab it is used by launei 1 o
eat the hair from hides of amimals , and in dissecting-rooms to quickly rot
the flesh from the bones of dead subjects.
Lime mixed with starch ( and both are found in Price's Powder ) will
produce a ferment. The process is not quick , and does not take place uu-
til the food in which the baking powder is used has been some time iu
the stomach. Indigestiondyspepsia , cud more serious disorders result.
The cause of this large amount of Lime in Price's Baking Powder i *
the use of cheap and impure materials.
Prof. C. B. Gibson , Chemist of the College of ! Physicians aud Siu-
geons , Chicogo , had in view these impure powdera containing Jime , like
Price's , when , after having made an examination of many of them , ht-
volunteered the following testimony that Royal Baking powder is the
best and purest in the market.
THE ROYAL ABSOLUTELY PURE.
"Koyal.Baking Powder Co. : I recently procured a eamply of your
( Royal ) baking powder from the kitchen of a private family in this citjT
and subjected it to an examination. I found it so different from manj
of the baking powders advertised as 'strictly' and 'absolutely pure , ' and so
far superior , that I thought you would be pleased to know itand might
find use for the certificate.
In view of the vast difference and stupendous frauds that are offer
ed to the most 'gullible' people on the face of the earth , it pleases rut
occasionally to strike an 'honest article. '
"Respectfully , C. B. GIBSON. "
