THE VETERINARIAN REPORT. The report of Territorial Veterinarian Hopkins contained much useful informa- tion. Duringthe past year he had con- demned to death forty-two horses and mules afilicted with glanders. Among the diseases ‘prevalent he has found in- fluenza and strangles in the horse and verminous bronchitis and black leg in the cattle. He deprecates the importa- tion of -cattle by rail, in that case they are liable to spread Texas fever. The result of his investigations into the cattle disonse in Kansas was given, and he de- cides it to be neither the and mouth disease nor ergotism, but simply foot rot. A long history ~f the origin and spread of plouto-pneumonia in this country was given and the strongest measures for its euppression were urged. A rigid quaran- tine of at least 100 days is required. Celves from infected districts are now went to Chicago, and unless something is dmmediately done the diseaso will soon ‘be rife upon the plains. If it spreads ‘here it will cost the government more 'then ten years’ war. The bill before con- ress should become a law, for nothing ‘Jess will avail. At present no contagious .diseases among the cattle of Wyoming.

Several speeches were made bota for .and against, a very strong one in opposi- tion by Col. Wright of Colorado, and the :resolution was finally laid on the table. TRANSPORTATION. In tho afternoon, the round-up com- amittee not being ready to report, Col. 1Babbitt, of the transportation committee, in the absence of the chairman, reported the doings of that body.

Cnrcaco, April 8,—On Sunday the Ohicago Tribune published a column ar- ticle under a London date as a special cable, professing to give views of Mathew Arnold on Chicago people fn the Pall Mall Gazotte. It was very severe in its strictures on thesham piety and the sham cultivation of the Garden Qity. Yestor- day the Tribune contained an interview with Prof. Swing, Gen. McClurg and other citizens who entertained Arnold whon here, taking him severely to task for violatng tho ‘“‘sweet- ness ond light” of the open handed hospitality which they showered on him, The Daily News will publish an editorial in the morning saying the article was prep rad in the News otlice, forward d to New York, where it was obscurely published and transmitted by telegraph by the Chicago Tribune correspondent and published as a “‘special cable;” that the original article was credited to an apochryphal Pall Mall Journal, which the 'fribune changed to Gazotte.

The Wifo of an Towa Clergyman Guil- tyof Various Burglaries and Robberies. Davexrorr, Towa, April 8.—Some two months ago, the residence of a prom- inent citizen was burglarized snd the mystery surrounding it was a hard nut for the police to orack. Private detec- tives have been at work, however, and if anything had been discovered by them leading to a clue it has been rigidly kept from the public, On last Saturday night, the residence of another prominent eiti- zon was burglarized 1n much the same mysterious manner, a quantity of dresses and other things of value being taken. On this occasion concealment was no longer possible on the part of the perpetrator, as the person who, commit- ted both thefts was the only one known to have been in the house previous to missing the articles. The criminal, if such she can be called, is a lady, the wife of a prominent clergyman, and her manner of operation was thus: She would go to the residence of one of her husband'’s flock and pretend to be tired or sick, and ask to lie down. Being the wife of & miuister, nothing was thought of this, and the freedom of the house was accorded her. When she had rested andgone the household fouad that many of its valuable articles of clothing had gone also. The police were notitied in this instance, and upon visiting the residence of the divine, all the missing articles were found, together with those pilfered from the residence of the firat mentioned individual. A plea of insanity was en- tered by the friends of the accused, and owing to the prominence of the family and the former good roputation of the lady, no arrests have been made. ‘Whether it is a case of temporary insani- ty, or aclear case of steal, each one has his or her own opinion. e — Sixteenth street is paved and a wide side walk as far out as Chamberlain Howe & Marshall's furniture store, and their styles are new.

The unfortunate collapse of to-day is the town talk and much regretted. LIBERITINISM, Tne Brue's reference to Lincoln's Lotharios this morning has created con- siderable earnest comment here to-day. The Democrat devotes half a column to John Daniels, against whom an action was commenced by Andrew Cox for al- leged betrayal of his daughter, Mary E. 1t charges Daniels with attempted pur- chase of its silenco, and uses these strong words: *“‘The young men of this town who have sisters or young lady friends are in honor bound to organize themselves into a vigilance committee for the purpose of dealing cut summary jus- tice to all such men as have no regard for the society of Lincoln homes and the chastity of the daughtera and fair ones within her abodes.
