THE LOSSES FROM DISEASE. At Ogallala only one herd numbering 60 has been attacked by the Texas fever, and of these 53 are now dead. These wore a lot of yearlings shipped from lowa Iast spring, and when taken with the fever were out on pasture. At Brady’s Taland, Lynch and McCal- loch have each lost about 40 head from herds of no great size. Their cattle also were brought from Towa last spring. At Maxwell,out of Plummer's herd numbering 300, between 50 and 60 head have died. Their cattle were natives and had been foeding along the line of the Union Pacifio road since spring. Besides tho losses mentioned ~above | Green & Burke, out of a herd of cows shipped to Brady’s Island, from Norfolk and Blair to Me. McShane, about thirty cows were rejected as being too old. They were turned looso at this place and Platte, where seven of them have since died with the fever. " Theae losses not aggregating more than two hundred head are the sum total of all cattle that have died of the Texas fover in Western Nebraska during the recent excitement. A peculiar phase of this mortality also is that all the dead cattle closeat 8 p. m. in the country prddincts. The following places are designated as polling places: Firat ward—Slaven hote!.

Be- sides these signs of disease, the contents offthe gall ‘"rld the consistency of tar and black. Theso are said by old stock- men to be the always attending signs of Texas fever, which nearly all have con- cluded it is. The infected herds of cattle at these points along the line of the U.

Mr. McShane says the fears of stockmen in that country have entirely subsided and their faith in the future of western Nebraska as a cattle country remains unshaken.

Young Houfek Alleged to Have Died from Malpractice, Yesterday afternoon Henry Durham, a physician living at 1724 Douglas street, was brought before Judge Beneke charged with manslaughter for the killing of James Houfek. From statements of the doctors and witnesses for the state, it appears that James Houfek, a boy about fifteen years old, was brought in from the country to his home on South Thirteenth street last Friday, at which time he was suffering from an attack of pneumonla. Dr. Dar- ham was called in and prescribed aconite for his patient in doses of twenty graina each, to be taken every hour until the fover should be reduced and stated he could not return before noon of Saturday as he was mov- ing. At the appointed hour the doctor returned and found his patient dead. The attendants of Houfek say that after taking four doses he had become so low thatthey resolved togive him no more medicine. He lingered until noon of Saturday, when he died. The parents of the boy thinking his death might have boen wused by prescribing the wrong medicine or giving an overdose, went to the druggist were the prescription was filled and there learned that from one to five drops of this narcotic is a dose for an adu't. Themothor of the boy yesterday todetermine the effect of this medicine taok fifteen drops and was soon so progtrated that medical aid was called in Dr. Durham was thon sent for and was shown his prescription and also what the books say is a dose of aconite It is said the doctor seized the prescription and started for the city when hoe was sppre- hendad and held until a policeman took him into custody. Dr. Darham does net deny prescribing twenty grains but stated there are two kinds of aconite, the British and the American. The former he says is the much weaker of the two and the kind he has been accustomed to use. It appears he did not mention the British and the American was given, 1t was also charged that the defendant was not a registerod physician and upon examination it was found he had filed his certificate last Monday. Mr. Darham says he has been a practicing physician for fourteen years and is a graduate of Rush Medical college in the class of 1860, He came to Omaha from Crete about two years ago. It was learned he had prac- ticed in Houfek'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 Le turnished and was released. st L SR Thanks of the G. A, R.

Jackson, charging him with embezzle- ment. The complaint alleges that on the 20th day of November plaintiff gave to the defendant the sum of §10 to pay a bill then due against plaintiff, and that the defendantdid 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 a letter to Seasions in which he requested ' him to never speak 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 meeting the above the case has been set- ed, — Meeting of Oitizen’s League, An interesting meeting of the Oitizen’s League of Omaha was held last night in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, and speeches were made by the president, Dr. Leisen- ring, Rov. C. W, Savidge, Rev. W. C. Copeland, O, F, Davis, Samuel Hawver and others, Action was taken in regard to securlng an increased membership, plans of action and other important mat- ters of the league wero discussed. The league will meet again on the first Tuesday of uext month, at which time action will be taken toward changing the regular monthly meeting to the second Tuesday of month, This arrange- ment will, it is thought, cause the meet- inga to be more onily attended by the business men of the city, of whom many are intorested in the workings of the league. —— Dead e Over, A few weeks eince a floater was taken from the river near the bridge and Coroner Maul held an inquest upon the body. In the trousers leg was fastened @ 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 of the fact. The place whers the body Even the the stream. It was & very ralny day, and the coro- ner and his com) ns were obliged to drive in & roi ty miles, to reach the place and conse- quently were drenched to the skin and of course wera not highly pleased at find- ing *‘no stiff.” 1t is said that the coro- ner waseo exasperated at losing his game, that he empanelled a jury and held an in. quest upon tho spot where the floater had been, without even seeing the body. This gzoes 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 sccurely that is is impossible to got away, Omaha is the boss placs and they all steer for here, if only to be buried.

Prof Habishaw, of New York, found the following in Price's Powder: TARTRATEOFLIME....ccoovvvviiniinine . 1185 por ct Aside from toe inferiority of apowder containing a useless substance equaling about one-eighth of its entire weight (and which is the cause of the gre t lack of strength of Price’s Baking Powder as shown by the tests of the Government Chemists), there is to be considered the seriou consequences that may arise from taking this large amount of lime intc the system. Lime carnot be decomposed by heat, and isnot eliminated in mixing or baking, and therefore all of this enormous proportion, as found i Price’s Baking Powder, remains in the bread, biscuit, or eake with whict itis mixed, and is taken into the stomaskh. By the application of heat to lims carbonic acid gas is driven off,and there is left quick-lime, a canstic so powerful tha! it is used by tannes 1¢ eat the hair from hides of amimals, and in dissectmg-rooms to quickly rov the flesh from the bones of dead subjects.

Indigestion.dyspepsia, and more serious disorsders 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 and Su:- geons, Chicogo, had in view these impure powders containing lime, like Price’s, when, after having made an examination of many of them, he volunteered the following testimony that Royal Baking powder is the best and purest in the market. THE RGYAL ABSOLUTELY PURE “Royal Buking Powder Co.: I recently procured a samply of your (Roya!) baking powder from the kitchen of a private family in this city, and subjected it to an examination. I found it so different from meny of the baking powders advertised as ‘strictly’ and ‘absolutely pure,’ and sc far superior, that I thought you would be pleased to kuow it,and might find use for the certificate. In view of the vast difference and stupendous frauda that are offur- ed to the most ‘gullible’ people on the face of the earth, it pleases me oceasionally to strike an ‘honest article.’ “Respectfully, C.
