Chalrman Pear- son, commission, said to- day: “We intend to have every oneof them slaughtered, and we will make separate in- " fon of the lungs of each of the animals, Those whose lungs show signs of plearo will be burned up, bus others will be sold for beef for whatever is bid for them. 1 suspret that Wisconsin, [owa and Michigan will quaran- tine our eattle as soon as their veterinarians, who were down here to satisfy themselves of the nature of the disease and its prevalene make their reports, This will probably oceur within a we ‘I'he visit of the eommission ards this morning excited a comment, as it was th examine for contazions plenro among the cattle kept ther I'he commission is deeid edly unpopular among cattle men, some of whom protess tobelieve that the investigation is In reality a scheme to secure an approprin. tion to the board from the state. When it was known that a_quarantine was expeeted there was some wild talk about seeuring an injunction against the state authorities to prevent any sueh bar to free shipment, but nobody seeined sure as to what would be the best course to pursue. It was the general opinion that any restrictive measures would result i immense injury to the tradein cattle. Mr. Trus Coy made a statement of the cat- tlemen’s side of the matter to a reporter. He said: “We had hoped that the commission would make no attempt to place beef from distillery eattle on the market, but th not seem to be willing to grant our request. The result may be very disastrous, as dealers ar avs willing to aceept an op- porfunity ¢ ping shipment of dressed Dbeef from Chic nd they will spr port the beef from cattle with pleuro is be wold he of course to our disadvant guarantine, of course, will hurt s, 1 think we have enough trouble on our hands without tha The trouble with < from inte to deny conta; of the live stoc to the stock good deal of t they had come to the commission is, that e appropriation by the legislatire is inade- quate to make good the losses, There would arise, in_all probability, claims which the state would liave to make good. Suppose this to be so. the commissioners say that the next legislature wounld blame them for not reakzing all they possibly could on the slaughtered animals, commission 18 thus placed in a somewhat delicate position, and are uncertain how to proceed, being placed, as it were, between two lire: “The commission visited the Chiearo distil- lery on Blackhawk street and Killed a cow whose lunis were found to be clearly and stronzly marked with the fatal disease. This adds an extra’ burden fo the already great task of the live stock commission. The 600 head of eattle at the Chicago dis- titlery were supposed to be all right, although they were quarantined on Tuesday, ition, The owners of i lar and inclined to oppose the veteri s in their work. The cattle at this distillery_are all fine, lnrge animals, valued at from 550 to 0 each, DewWolf says every board, post and shinzle, down to the minutest sliver from the cow-sheds of the Phoenix distiliery, must he burned to the ground. That, he says, is the only satisfactory fumigation for that l-Lu'n Thé other distilleries are not 5o bad, and can be disinfeeted easily. An evening paper; which has been investi- gating, says that the “English language is ghort of words which can be put in pri bing the frightful filth of the Ph sheds.” At the conference between the menmbers of the live stock commission and the ofticials of the Stock Yards company this morning, Mr. Pearson said tothe stock yard represen that the commissioners had decided to kil all the cattle now in the Phai and Shuffeldt distilleries, about two thousand head: that on post-mortem examination all deceased cattle would be eremated, and all healthy cattle sold to the highest bidder, The ~stock yards company replied that millions ~ of dollars “would be lost to the packing interest of Chicaxo it the Teport went out to'the world that beef from the intected distilleries, whether healthy or not, was being shipped from Chicago, ~ Mr. Jearson then informed the gentleman that the state only had $49,00) with whieh to com- pensate the owners of healthy cattle, and if none of the healthy beef was utilized the state would be ‘at an expense of at least double that amount. He sug- gested to the stock men that they buy up th Althy — beef and help the commissioners out of their didemma. He said the commission would, of course, exhaust the appropriation already’ in hand. ' No decisive answer to the proposition was given. The commissioners this afternoon held a conterence with Dr. Salmon, United States inarian, Dr. Casewell, state veterinavian, and veterinarians from Wisconsin, Michigan Dr. Salmon said he had been in communication with United ‘ommissioner Colman, of the depart- ment of agriculture, who had authorized a continuance « arantine at the expense of the national government until it should be decided what disposition to make of the carcasses, Dr. Salmon said that he was authorized to double the quarantine force now existing, which would cost to the wov- ernment abotit $57 per day. The quarantine force would then consist of twenty-nine de- putivs, two during the day and four during he night at each of the four distilieries and five atthe Harvey farm. ‘The commission decided to detail an extra fore copting 400 head of cattle owned by 1hanks Canning company, of which Nel- son Morris is president, the majority of the 8,000 animals under quarantine belong to men n“wmlllm on their two or three cows for a When the nows of the extension of rantine reached them to-night they ere thoroughly aroused. They say that the state will be obliged to destroy all the beef, and as only healthy ecattle will be appraised the quarantine extension isa con- spiracy 1o spread the disease as {ar as - poss h‘e along the quarantined cattle before the slaughter takes plaee.

Theso words are still oy-note to the human heart. We ht endeavor to hide the facts of our ultimate departure from this sublunar world, yet there s not a day when we do not see the & ility of man, Often has t melancholy tact been presented to our consideration; daily 1s our attention arrested, but we banish such thonghts from onr mind stmply be. cause they teach us our own insigniti- cance.

Here the andi- ence was deeply aftected, when Rabbi Benson, in a tremulous voice, said: The best years of my life T have been in the south. It was the that T m :d the choice of my heart and it was there that my dear children were born.
