Total of eleven states , 8 per cent less old
hogs : I per cent less pigs : 4 per cent less
flt cattle , with hog cholera prevailIng In 1S1
c cun ties.
crcntes.
The ! reports are or unusual Interest agate
this t year , owing to the unprecedented amount
of hog cholera In the country amountng to I
almost an epldcmlc. Farmers In lawn and I
Ia I llinois feel very panicky on the situation ,
nnd are lelng their droves of pigs before the
cholera reaches them II order to get something -
thing out of them. This Is one of the prlncl.
pal camu's for the liberal receipts ot hogs
at the principal markets ; and the contnued ;
shipment at these pigs to market cannot help
but result In a shortage of hogs for the late
winter and spring months. Every carl01,1 , i i
of 111gs that goes to market now means a I I
shortage of three cars ot hogs later , and I
with an abundant and possibly an unpre .
cedented corn ' re3dy for
cedenttd trop teedlng the
tarmers are discouraged at the outlook.
The reports show that the greatest amu5unt
at cholera report come tram the two largest
hog producing states Illinois and Iowa This
fact Is significant. .

"At a recent cal she detailed this dramatic

The mysterIous person , they say was noth-

been joined hy the police with time mysterious
disappearance of Uanche Lamont. Carrying

clothes who had seen Durranl wal detailed ,

where another lan could have an opportunity

SAN FRANCISCO . Oct. 12.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has won another vIctory from the
United States government this time In the
United States court ot appeals. The decision , ,
handed down today , was signed by United L
States Circuit Judge Gilbert and by United :
States District Judges Morrow and Hawley
I Is given on the appeal taken tram the pre- :
vlols order of Judge Hess , sustaining the demurrer -
murrer of Mrs. Stanford to the suit brought
against her to recover $1&,337,000 alleged to ;
be due time government tram her husband's
estate on account of Ctntral Paclfc bonds
As the decision Is an aflmaton of the cor- :
rectntss at the positon already taken by
Jtitlgo Itoss there Is no relief to be ohtalne ]
In the premises through a suit In equity. I
Is hell that I the liability exists I Is purely
"a creature at statute " the question berore
the court being entirely one of Interpretaton I
of the law. The usual privileges for the
Imendment of the complaInt and the reargue
Ing ot the case were reorered to the counsel I
for the government , ' but It was state that
the government's attorneys would not take
advantage of hue offer . I Is understood that
the case will be appealed nt once to the au .
pronto COIT ot tIme United States.
The opinion rehearsed the facts connected L
wih the creation of the debt and stated the
question before tile court to be whetber the
stockholders were to be held IndivIdualy
liable for the debts of the company. There
had been an omission In the contract as to ( ;
time means by whIch the debt could be collected -
lected In case of ito company's failure to meet ;
Its obligations . but this was unImportant as
In its absence the law provIded means fem :
securIng payment
The court held that the ( liability ot the I
stockholder at the Central Iacilc could not
be different tram those at the Union Pacific '
and that had there been a consolidation Qf the ;
two companies the debt could not have been
collected tram time stockholders , and what
would apply to them then applied now. The
laws governing the stockholders of the Union
Pacific were cited at length by JUdge Oil -
bert. In this Instance tIme shareholders were
not held ( labia and It Is explicitly so state
In the charter which was obtained In lilt -
nols. On the other hand , the state ot Call .
formula imposed a personal liability clause
when the Central Pacifc was Incorporated ,
The court further charged that I was the intention -
tenton ot congress to put both roads on tbe
same footing. Judge Davis . ot IllinoIs has
already decided. that the Union Pacific stock
holder were not liable.
The students at Stanford university tonight
celebrated the decision

Just why theee ( two gentemtn were slnglell

the election ot time republIcan ticket last year ,
and thnt Apostle John henry Smih was a
mmutmber all pre3hlent ot the constitutional

wIth the claim that their chances for vuc-

Judge Powers , chairman of the democratic
