Only two of the animals thus treated have died, whereas hereto- fore 90 per cent of the bulls import- | ed from the North have died within a few days after becoming infested | with ticks. The success of the experiments with the fever will be worth thous- ands of dollars to the stock interests of the country. It is a fact not known to all that the station here is perhaps the first to find a successful means of inoculating Northern cattle against Texas fever. The report cencludes with this paragraph: “This station is prepared te inec- ulate for Missouri breeders any number of registered cattle they may wish to ship South. We have now at the station eleven head of cattle that have been inoculated, and are suitable fer supplying immune blood. Arrangements can possibly be made by which work can be done at farms, instead of at the station.” Bucklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles or no pay required.

The agricultural depart- ment has been informed that Ger- many, upon learning of Belgium’s action, immediately issued a decree unfavorable to beef products from Belgium, thereby preventing Amer- ican beef from reaching Germany by re-shipment from Belgium.

Call on us. | Journal messenger reports one of the bloodiest battles that Clay coun- | ty feudists ever fought. Five men | were killed instantly and three seri- | ously wounded. The battle occurred jabout three miles from Manchester }on what is knewn as Little Goose Creek. Wash Thacker, a deputy | sheriff, had arrested Robert Philpot and was receiving his bond when the officer was shot from behind. Then the fight commenced in earnest, George, G. V., Robert and Peter Philpot and Edward Fisher being engaged on one side and Hugh, William and Green Griffin and Aaron Morris on the ether. Each used a gun, and there is no way of telling precisely the number of shots fired. When the smoke cleared away it was found that Robert Philpot, Ed- ward Fisher, Aaron Morris, James Griffia and Hugh Griffin were killed. Another of the Griffins was shot in the thigh. Granville Philpot was also wounded. Of the nine engaged in the fight, five were killed outright; three were perhaps fatally wounded, and the only man who escaped unhurt is Peter Philpot. The trouble was the outgrowth of an old grudge between the Philpots and Griffins, which originated last Christmas a year ago, when James Philpot was shot and killed, but not until he had shot and killed William Bundy, a friend of the Morrises. There has been bitter feeling be- tween these parties since that time; and it is said that each side was only lookiag for an opportunity to “get the drep” on the other. The Philpots are the strongest faction in the meuntains, numbering 750 voters, and have the reputation of being fighters. It is known that they haye long been in sympathy with the Bakers. The Griffins and Morrises engaged in to-day’s battle were said to be followers of the White faction. The bloody battle occurred this morning at 9 o’clock,and at 3 o’cleck to day every effort of the Sheriff to get deputies to go to the scene of battle had been futile. The wildest state of excitement existed today. Every door was closed, and mo one was seen on the streets. The principal weapons used in to- day’s fight were Winchester shot- guns, loaded with buckshot. A few 45-ealiber Colt revolvers were also used. Granville Philpot, said to be one union veteran, having lost a leg at Stone River. He was formerly a islature and has been a lifelong resi- dent of Clay county. He has many friends in and about Frankfort and throughout this section. He is said to have killed three or four men dur- ing his life, but it is not definitely known who fell at his hands to-day. Edward Fisher was 23 years of age, and is said to have killed three men, though it is not known what part he played in to-day’s battle be- fore he fell mortally weunded. The story of to-day’s battle caused }) consternation here, notwithstanding the fact that serious trouble has} been expected to break out among the mountaineers of Clay ever since the assassination of Baker. of the most seriously wounded, is a}. ’ member of the Kentucky State Leg- ing year old child of P.

D, July 14—An ;drew E. Lee, governor of South Dakota, makes this statement con- cerning the government's action in so long retaining the volunteers after the expiration of the term ef their enlistment in the Philippines: “The report from Manila regard- ing the South Dakota volunteers is no surprise, for we have long known of the terrible condition to whieh they have been reduced, and have repeatedly urged the administra- tien to bave them returned home, | but without effect. Their obligation to the govern- ment cloced when the treaty with Spain was ratified. Since that time | their services nave been used with- out warrant of law or justice. The administration cannot escape | the responsibility of its mistaken ex- | pansien policy, fer which this gev- |ernment is paying so dearly with | life and treasure, to say nothing of | the unpardonable injustice done to |@ people whose only crime lies im |their desire for independence and | self-government. | I have definite knewledge that | many of the volunteers realizs the | injustice of the cause for which they | are forced to fight. With the rapidly growing senti- ment that the expansion policy isa serious mistake, and with the pres- ent existing condition in the Phil- | ippines, added to the experience of | our own regiment, I believe that but few would enlist from this state.” 9 P K Wilson “* “ E O Mudd, fees attend ert E © Mudd, 18 days janitor Jobn Loye annotate report | D D McCann, clean ert house | Joe Meyer, mdse for pris 15 169 10 9 3 | O D Austin, print 4 Asylum Ne 2, suptinmates 24 | J B March, repair wire bridge 68 Brown & Moore, part pay on brdg over Panther Creek | AL Nafus, sup Mra E C Me | Guire | John Kersey, sup | W O Jackson, stamps F J Wiseman, print | Bowen Merrell Co, vol 4 Camps Digest F C Swith, supplies | Miller & Son, sewer pipe Merrell M'f'g Co, Review, printing |JDAllen “ Water Oe, crt bouse, jail W F Rosser, print Sam’l Dodsworth Book Co Hunter & McCulloch Vantrees Bros, fix chert yard 6 Levy & Co, sup jail, poorfrm 5 H Heinburg, water guage 3 W F Rosser, print 2 | J P Thurman, stamps, expr A B Owen, crim coste ‘“ “ 200 16 Williams Bros, mdse Logan-Moore-Boyd Lum Co, lime, paints, ete for sheriff Standard Print Co, reeord bk Woodward Tiernan Print Ce, book for treasurer Dodsworth Book Co, eup G D Bernard, beok for clk J P Thurmaz, crim coste J F Smith, fees insane case S T Broaddus, salary Sam’!
