Nature of the Disease Among Counoil Bluffs Cattle. A disease which appears to bo a sort of contagious opthalmia provails among the cat- tle in Council Bluffs, especiaily among tho cows belonging to private citizens and pas- tured in the buttoms. The disease s rapidly conveyed from one to anothor when associ- ated in bunches, and the cows are rapidly be- coming blind in one or both eyes. The ani- mals recover very slowly unless properly treatod in the early stages. Dr. Ramacciotti was seen and asked if, his opinion, the milk givon by those cows was fit for consumption, He stated the disease would affect tho milk indirectly, as it would tend to stop the secretions and _render the milk more or less unhealthy. He oxpressed the opinion that the unimals would event- unlly recover with proper treatment, but thoucht they should be soparated from the othier cows, as tho disease spreads very rapidly. 1t was loarned that only two milk wagons come to this city from the Bluffs. The names. of the proprictors could not be learn®, and it i3 not known whether or not their cattle are affected, Dr, Ramacciotti was of the opinion that the cows affeoted were family cows owned by individuals, aud that none of them were te property of milkmen. He also stated that no trace of the disease had apnoared in tis oitv, and hoe anticipated no trouble on that score. He said that the disease had undoubtedly originated among range cattle which had been brought from the range and were affected by the change in tho atmos- phere O Oppose an American Pope.

Anxious to Havo a 10> Amputated to Make Her Feev Symmoetrical, ““Doctor, please cut the other toe off, won't you?” “My dear, I can’t do possible!” And that is part of a con- versation that Dr. Robert Taylor, of the Actors’' Fund, and a pretty Brock ville belle have repeated almos vek i July 8, 1886. On_ that date the young lady, then the daughter of a wealthy merchant, had her foot crushed ina carringe accident.

The forthcoming (August) number of the Century will contain-a chapter “*Lincoln and the Churches’ in the L coin history, by Messrs. Hay and Nic lay, from which the following is an ex- tract from advance sheets: He was a wan of profound and intense religious feeling. We have no purpose of attempting to formulate his crced; we question if he himself ever did so. There have been swift witnesses who, judging from expressions uttered in his callow youth, have called him an athe- ist, and others who, with the most laud- able intentions, ve remembered im- probable conversations which they bring furward to prove at once his orthodoxy and their own intimacy with him. But leaving aside these apocryphal evi- dences, we have only to look at his authentic public and private utterances to see how deep und strong in all the latter part of his life v the current of his religious thought and emotion. He continually invited and appreciated, ac their highest value, the prayers of good people. The pressure of the tremend- ous problems by which he was surroundod; the awful moral sig- nificance of the conflict in which he was the chief combatant; vhe overwhelming sense of personal responsibility, which never loft him for an hour—all con- ibuted to produce, in & temperament naturally sérious and predisposed to n spiritual view of life and conduct, o sense of reverent acceptance of the guidance of a Superior Power. [rom that morning, wheu, standing amid the falling snowilakes on the railway car at Springfeld, he asked the prayors of his neighbors in those touching vphrases whose echo rose that night in invoca- tions from thousands of family altars, to that memorable hour when on the steps of tho capitol he humbled himse!t before his Creator in the sublime words of the second - eugural, there is not an exprossion kuoown to have come from hislips or his pen but proves that he held himself an- swerable in every act of his career to a more august bunal than any on earth. The fact that he was not u com- municant of any church, and that he was singularly reserved in regard to his personal religious lile, gives only the reater force to these striking proofs of is profound reverence and faith. e 1 am of the opinion 8. 8. 8. should the head of the list of blood remedie rived at this conclusion from the testimony of scores of porsons who bave told me of the £o0d results from ite use.

THAT'S WHY THE QUARREL BEGUN An Interesting Oase for lowa's Rall- road Commission to Decide— Colored Masons—A Cone« taminated Stroam. Rural Rivalry. Drs Moixes, In., July 14,—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.]—There is a very amus- ing, and no doubt to the participants a very important little fight going on between two littlo towns in southern Iowa, which tHe railrond commissioners have been called upon to decide. The two rival towns are Knowliton and Diagonal, toth on the line of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas Civy rail- road, though but ove of them, Knowlton, is a station. At Diagonal the Humeston & Shenandosh road crosses the other, by an overhead erossing, The peoplo of that place want the Kansas City road to establisha station there, thinking that with the two roads they will have a boom right away. ‘But the road stops at Knowiton, a mile and o half away, and the company thinks there is not business enough to justify ‘the main- tenunce of two stations so near together. The peonté of Diagonal want the road to make its station there and abandon Knowl- ton. They have gemerously offered town lots to Knowlton peoplo if they will give up their hamlet and come over and live with them, But neither town is willing to surrender its grip upon the future, and so the commissioners were scnt for. They went down last week and had a great picnie. Each town had prepared o Fourth of July celebration in their honor, and they were met ut the train by the local dignitaries and given a great reception. At Kuowlton, the meoting was held i the chiurch, where local orators waxed eloquent with praise of the future greatness of tho place. Then came a big dinner for the vis- itors, and then everybody adjourned to the rival, Diagonal. Here the exorcises were held in a grove, and substantially the same programme was carried out. = The commis- sioners listened patiently to the oratory and awrguments and then twook the case under advisement and came away. The people of Diagonal urge that the railroad is obliged to make a station at their place, because it is at the intersection of another roai, but as the crossing is an overhead one and not on grade, some raise the pomt that it is not the one contemvlated in the law. The two little towns, neither of them much larger than a pint of cider, are waitine anxiously for tho decision of the commissioners on the question which is to them of momentous in- terest. The Gubernatorial Contest. Stoux City, Ia., July 14.—[Special to Tre Ber.]—The interest in the contest for the republican nomination for governor of Iowa 18 increasing here, There is in Sioux City virtualiy no difference of opmion among the politicians as to chice among the three can- didates who are contesting for the nomina. tion. These candidates are Hon. H, C. Wheeler, of Sac county; Lieutenant Gov- ernor Hull, of Polk county, and Senator Hutchinson, of Wapello county. Lieutenant Governor Hull has _many personal friends here, but they are disposed to discard his claims for oftice this year, inasmuch as he has not drawn a breath out of office in Iowa from the day he returned home from one year's service in the army du the il war. The unanimous disposition here is to stand by the candidate of northwestern Towa, who is Mr. Wheelor. - His county is oneof the extreme northwestern counties of the state, which constitute the Eleventh con- gressional district. This district has never been allowed to name the republican candi- date for governor. It has never been con- ceded any of the prime honors of the party in Iowa. ~ And yet the party 18 now forced to depend upon the northwestern vonnties for a mujority in the state. Outside of them the republican party is a minority party in Iowa. But for . their republican - strength Larrabee would have boen de- feated in 1883, and again in 18ST. ‘These and similar facts have bound the re- publicans of northwestern Iowa together in a common interest, aud this feeling is stronger this year than ever before. ‘e entire northwestern quarter of tho state will go to the convention virtuaily solid for Mr. Wheeler, who will have, it is be- lieved, much support from other sections of the state. This county is the leading county in this part of the state, being éntitled to twenty-two delegates, and it will be a solid and distivctive Wheeler delegation, There are only three other counties in fowa having 50 many delegates as this county, Pulled Off the Trains. Des Moixes, Ia., July 14.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.] —A rather peculiar case of a railroad going out of business is found in southorn Iowa. This is the Centerville, Moravia & Albia railway, twenty-four miles long, running from Relay to Alvia. The road has never paid expenses, and tne owners concluded a fow days ago that they couldn’t afford to run it for the mere pleas- ure of running a railroad, and so pulled off the trains, The people along the line of the road that had contributed. somo. $10,000 in taxes to help build it, are not very vrell pleased at the turn things -have taken; but since the road doesn't pay expenses 1ts own- ers can hardly be expected to run i ata dead loss. However, the case has been re- ferred to the railroad commissioners to see if they can devise any relief for the people who live along the line, but now find them- selves liying in the country, several miles from railroud facilities. Des Moixes, Ia., July 1 Bee. |—The mining inspectors of fowa have no sinecure. They have to cover a large territory and keep close watch upon the op- eration of the mines. There ure throe dis- tricts, with an inspector for each. Some time ago when .the assignment of districts was made the distribution was uot quite even in its disposition of the work, Some changes have therefore been made to remedy that dificulty. Marion county has been taken from Inspector Birck's aistrict and is annexed to Inspector Stout's, and Jefferson and Van Buren counties are taken from Mr. Biuk's district and annexed to Inspector Gildroy's district.

The state board of health has received a sworn statement signed by 140 citizens ot Indian Village, Tama county, stating that they are suffering on account of the bad water; that there is a scarcity of #00d water in the vicinity for mau or beast. They also complain that the smell is intoler- able, and that the fish in the giver are dying.

English the Most Complete Medinm for the Expression of Thonght. Oné of the dreams of philosophers for ages has been the discovery or in- vention of a language which shall undo the work of "the Tower of Babel; a tongue which all kindreds and veoples and nations can speak; a medium of communication which shall be sonearly «perfect that all the people of the world shall have the power of communicating with each other, and that the man of Europe and the man of Asia and the man of America may put their several vhoughts and ideas into a common form and a common mode of expression. In the palmy days of Rome thisdream was_realized in part, for the mailed hand of the conquerer bore as weil a Latin grammar asa Latin sword, and the vassals of Rome wero forced to learn the speech of the nation which had subdued them; and so to-day in every country where the Roman eajrles flew can be traced the remains of the Latin language and the influence of the Latin literature. But 1n time the semi- universal language was replaced by the vernacular, and Latin, as a spoken lan- guage, died and was buvied, since which time there has been nothing which could dspire to the dignity of a universal language. A few yénph ngo a priest named lfied alanguage which he ¥, and which he hoped universal, or at loast so nearly 80 as urnish a means of inter- communication, among different na- tions; but therg is little indication that Volapuk is maKing much headway, ex- cept among & cértain class who are fond of novelty a-who have a natural taste for philology:} People in general do not take kindly to Volapuk, and this fact alone is fatal to its universality. At one time French had some preten- tions to bocoming the languagie of Iu- rope. Like Romans, the French, undor the fifs#Nupolgon, spread their language oveféthe whole continent and established it s the language of courts and diplomag#, pérhupsibecause it was bettér fittet*1o gopdedl! thoupht - than any other “I“’"“’ tongué. It has held its own wellfin what are called polite circles, but fhasgome far short of being a universal languige. . - But of lato ther@ has arisen a new as- irant for popular favor in the English anguage, says the San Francisco Chronicle. No modern toungue has begun to make the strides that English is making, and it has come or is coming to be recognized as the most complete and exact medium for the expression of thought now extant. William Walter Phelps: has recently told us that the proceedings of the Sam- oan _ conference at Berlin - were conducted in English, and that the draft of the treaty was made out in English, because it was found that the terms were made more clear and ex- plicit thav they could have been if written in Freach. Mr. Phelps says that now that the precedent has been set it is not unlikely that every future conferance of the Kkind will be carried on in English, and that it is the lan- guage of the world. It is not strange that clearness and exactitude should be possessed to a marked degree by the English lan- guage. Unlike most other languages, it is eclectic as well as evolutional, It takes its own elements and builds them up and improves upon them, at the same time seizing upon and appropriating a root or astem or a whole word from some other language when it deems it proper or necessary. It levies tribute upon every tongue of the world, civil- ized and uncivilized,and atonce domes- ticates and naturalizes it acquisitions Dblending them with itself and defying anyone to question its authority 50 to do. The Anglo-Saxon race is the race of conquest, but 1ts victories of the present are, for the: most part, blooaless.ones. Tts arms are the steam engine, the elec- tric telegraph, and the printing press; notthe short sword of the Roman legions nor the sabres of Napoleon’s cuirassers. It, too, impose: its language upon its subjects, but it doos so by moral suasion instead of by force. Itgiyes solid and substantial reasons for so doing, and few of the nations.of the earth ara pre- pared to giinsay them. It is havdly too much to say that by the end of the twentieth century the civilized world may be an Ej sh-speaking world, and that the dren a universal language will find its ation in the speech of Chaucer and 1& speare and Longfel- low and Hawthotne. — - Catarrh cubéll] health and sweet breath secur@d” by Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy.

Waters Keeps an Accurate Chronicle His Sufforings and Then Blows Out His Brains, of Interviewed the Grim Destroyer. How an educated man, a scientist and physician, feels while trying to end his life with repeated doses of poison, his sensations and experiences, is told in an extraordinary narrative left by Dr. John W. Waters, who committed suicide on Sunday evening at his lodging houso, No. 30 College place, says a New York dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. The record of his forty-eight hours’ experiment with death is con- tained in a letter found yesterday in his room. It is addressed to his friend, Dr. G. W. Wells, one of the medical exam- iners of the Mutual Life insurance com- pany. Itisas cold-blooded and scien- tific as the report of a chemical analy- sis. Dr. Waters was sixty-five years old. He had beena man of wealth. Years ago he was the leading physician of Carson City, Nev., where he had a fine home and a practice worth $20,000. The letter to Dr. Wolls is a detailed ac- count of his sensations after he had swallowed poison enough to kill three ordinary men. He intonded that it should be u CONTRIBUTION TO MEDICAL SCIF NCE. He wrote itas Pasteur might write of inoculation experiments on dogs. For more than thirty-six hours he endured the agony the poison caused him. Al- though his hand trembled so much that much of his writing is almost illegible, he coolly jotted down his observations on the effects of the poison. It failed to kill him, and ho put an end to the hor- rible tragedy with two shots from a re- volver. The record begins in this fashion: “I took, as near as I can estimate, fifty-eight grains of morphine botween 10 d 12 o'clock Friday night. My syringe only holds an ounce. The en- tire number of injections was fifty-four, and I drank three and a half ounce the solution.” 2 o’clock he write: hat the morphine not produced any oporific effect.” But his skin hi covered with ‘‘an itching, pr rash.” His hand shakes so that he can scarcely write. He fecle nauscated, but his stomach is empty. His system ‘‘completely relaxed,” the perspiration “profuse,” and the pulse rpid, “rarely falling below 100, but varying so from minute to minute that I hardly know how to.characterize it.” At 4 o’clock he writes: “'T can scarcely believe that such a dose can fail to prove effectual.” A little later: “There is no case on record of recovery from such a dose. Can it be that this will fail?” At 10 o'clock Saturday morning he notes that it is twelve hours since he took the dose,and expresses surprise that he still lives. At 2 o’clock he be- gins-to think of taking cocaine, “T do not know the effect of cocaine,” he adds, “and fear it would not be deadly enough for my“purpose, but I must try it and take the chances.” He takes five drops and records ‘‘pro- fuse perspiration” and ‘aggravated nausea.” At 11:30 his stomach rejected ‘“‘some ten or twelve ounces of dark green bile,” which affords him ‘‘some relief.” He tinds his head *‘dizzy,” but his hand ‘‘steadier,” He comforts him- self with the reflection that on previous occasions when he had taken morphine the soporific effects did not follow until twenty-four hours afterward, and adds: “It will be INTERESTING TO NOTE the effects of the overwhelming dose taken last night when the time for its soporific effect arrives.” At 4:20 be writes: *‘I presume no one else ever had so tedious an exit, and T am at a loss to understand it.

Undoubtedly, in the common belief, Paradise wns in Asia, and not in Eu- rope or Africn.

In his new work on evolution Mr. Alfred Wallace, who may be said to rank with Darwin as the creator of the new view of the origin of species, expresses the belief that man originated in one of the plateaus of Asia. Hueckel's view was somewhat differont. He held that m or his progenitor, originated in a couti nent which once existed east of 3 and south of Asia, but which is at pres- ent the bed of the Indian ocean. This continent, he supposed, was con- nected on the west with Madagascar and Africa and on the north with Asia, and it was by successive migrations westward and northward that Afr and Asia were peopled. Hervo in a trop- ical region, according to Hueckel, were found the conditions which favored the intellectual and physical development ot the progenitor of the human and the monkey races. Wallaco holds, on the contrary, that man originated in A and in some 't of it favored with a temperatur sub-tropical climate. ‘It is probable,” he 5 “that he began his existence on the open plains or the high plateaus of the temperate or sub-tropical zoae, where the seed of indigenous c s and nu- merous herbivora, rodents, and game birds, with fishes, mollusks in the lakes and rivers and seis, supplied him with an abundance of varied-food.” Here he would develop, not the aboreal struct- ure of the monkey, fitted in_haunds and feet. for obtaining ripened fruit from trees by climbing, but the struc- ture that fitted him to get living while roaming through s woods and over the open plain b Wallu finds man related to the an- thropoid a It is not his belief, of course, that he is descended from the ape as he knows him, but that man and the anthropoid ape are deseended from o common ancestor. The génealogical tree of man and the ape, according to the - evolutionist view, has many hranches, widely separated for ages past, but 1f converging lines could be followed back far enough a point, it is believed, would ultimately be reached where the son whe was the firstancestor of man was the brother of the first ancestor of the anthropoid ape. The father of them both was of course neither'man nor ape. It was hi who, differing much in character, force, and progressiveness, developed in them- selves and in succeeding generations the structure and gualitics that now distinguish man and the ape from each other. To Mr. Wallace it is clear that man and the anthropoid apes originated in the same region of the earth. Where, then, have the latter been found to be now existing, or to havi existed in agos? have nmever n it was coune and both wete ) car wa eparated from Africn before the latter became joined with Asia by the Isthmus of Suez. The ani- mals of an ica are therefore to be sought dagascar. But thero are no traces of anthropoid apes in adagascar. Those, therefore, which now oxist in must have come from Asia.

The Bismarckian kiss has not been anticipated by any of the poets and no precedent is to be found for it in the rich literature of oscu’ation. Many a poet has looked upon secrecy as one of the elements of perfection in a kiss. The new diplomatic kiss, how- ever, was ostentatiously publie, and it was supposed to be given by the whole of Germany to the whole of Italy, and to pass from Berlin to the remotest elec- toral districts in the valley of Apulia, As Bismarck is the glass of fachion to 50 many of our modern statesmen, we may expect his diplomatic kiss o be imitated.” When the shah arrives in London, may we be present to see the kiss with which Lord Balisbury, as vremier of England, greets the highost dignitary in the train of the Asiutic potentate, s L Dr. Wertz, dentist, 1607 Douglas st.
