AiiTI - TOXIN E SERUM THE
Tciisiuan-.Thc Serum SaT-n32.8 Per
Ccut.,and at 11 Nominal Cost of Only
10 Cents a Head.
The chtei of the bureau of animal ia
dustry. Dr. D. F. Salmon, at Washing
on, has Bubmitted to Secrevary Wiisca
a re; cri upon the experimeats made ia
the treatment of hogs for hog cholera
with anti-toxiae eerum. This p crura ia
made upon tho pame principle as the
stiti-tuxine of diphtheria. Good serum
has been obtained from both horses and
cut tie, a horse or cow being heated
with the hog cholera virus in sm-i'd
q ;antit;e3 at lirsr, with latere doses cf
ttr bailable intervals of time, "i he re
bibtaucc of the animal is thus raised to
the highest practicable point. Tho
blood of f.uth an animal whn injected
under tho ekiu of Bwine has been found
;; j!..eeS: both a preventive and a cuio
fcr cholera.
jl.;s fcvurr. v,am first tested upon
suvi'l euirriais in ths laboratory uud
bemg foui.d efficacious, was last fail
tested in Fa-'e county, Iowa, oa tev
ernl herds or swiue containing nltu-f-etber
2.S animal. Leaving out or.o
Lird, from which definite returns a to
Cuuso of death could not bo obtained,
crdy oJ died oat of 244 animals of
vh'ca were sick. Consequently 2.3
per cent cf the auiinals in these'herds
v. eve Paved. Of untreated herds kept
under observation riuriug the p. : iodre-ferrf-d
to about 63 per ceut of tho ant
raa'.s died. l;r. Sairoou believes that
with expei ience a better quality cf ee
i'i.m can bo prepared end he has doubt
that this percentage can be maintained
hcrc-yftcr.
Fefeiring to this report Secretary
Wilson remarked that undoubtedly the
results reported by Dr. Salmon'wero
most encouraging to hog raisers. The
cost of tho eerum now, paid tho Fscre
taiy, is but 10 cents per head of ani
in ds treated, only one dozen being re
quired, and doubtless ia course cf time
this liht cott may etiii bo further re
durod. "it is my opinion," said the secretary
"that it is of the utmost importance
that this ecrnm for the next year tt
leaat be mado by the bureau, under
our otva supervision, and distributed iu
largo quantities iu order to dcracn
ptiao its eCic.oncy upon a more ex
tended scale. It is absolutely essential
that during tho experimental etage
pu um of undoubted quantity be Used.
Unless the hog growers can obtain it
frcm this depaitmeat they wiil bo
forced to depend upon what "can be ob
tained frcm private sources1, and owing
to the raovei ty cf this product, not only
wiil disconragingly exorbitant price's
lo charged for it, but in many cases
inferior products may be offered. This
would pieclude the possibility cf mak
ing u satisfactory test on a widely ex
tended scale.
"I proposo to ask congress to provido
an appropiiatioa necessary to enable
this dspartment to furnish 2,000,000
dozens of serum during the next year,
and to nake n considerable portion of
tho appropriation immediately availa
ble. It seems from Dr. Salmon's re
pert that it takes three or four months
to put a horse or cow in condition to
supply the serum; consequently the
work upon an extended scale must be
undertaken at once.
"The losses from hog cholera are fo
enormous and have weighed so heaviiy
for years upon our farmers that I can
not imagine that Congress will for a
moment make the appropriations ne
cessary to carry on this work thor
oughly Indeed apart from the great
Piake the farmers have in this matter,
to refuse to provide for a thorough tet
of this remedy now would be, indeed,
pennywise and pound foolish; fcr the
di.-covery cf this serum ha3 involved
already many years of work and a very
large sum cf money. It would be a
greit mistake, now that so great a dis
covery seems to have been made, not to
lud.sh the work by giving it a thorough
and extensive test.

The case of Gen. George J. Hundley,
of Amelia, and Capt. John Cussons, cf
Glen Allen, who were arrested soma
weeks ago, charged with being about
to engage- in a duel, was disposed of
ia the police court hero on the I8th
by the p'aciag of both gentlemen
under bonds of 1,000 each lo keep tha
peace for twelve months. Their arrest
grew out cf a correspondence between
the two gentlemen, coasequeat upon
investigation of the caso of Colonel
Stubbs, grand commander of the Grand
Camn of Confederate Veterans of Vir

Col. Jehu Murphy went on Col. Cus

The JJribtry Investigation.
The Ohio Legislature has begun the
bribery investigation against Marcus A.
Hanua mado by Representative Otis
during the recent senatorial contest.
I The proprietors of the Neill House will
be asked as to who paid the hotel bills
of certain legislators, and the managers
of the telegraph companies will be
summoned. The investigation will drag
alon for some time. As the Senate
stands 19 to 17 against Hanna, with
Senator Burke voting with tho Demo
crats, it is quite probable that there
will bo pome report adopted iuthe body
to transmit to the United States Senate.
In the House the vote is 55 to o3 the
other way, and the House investigation
committee may do little more than look
oa at the Senate in vesication.

Manufacturing Activity Fcatare in
llie South Rush for Alaska Ueuo.
Bradatrcet'a Commercial Review for
the past week says : "Distributive trade
remains rather quiet, mild weather
throughout tho country tending to
check tho distribution of winter goods.
Trices generally remain steady cr tend
upward, eieept for some grades of iron,
and oiders for spring trade, where re
ceived are encoui aging, industrial ac
tivity is rnost manifest tt tha West,
where the demand for iron is large. Ihe
feature of the week was tno plac
ing of au order by one railroad fcr U;0,
CO'Jtons of Bteol rails, with smaller
orders eggregatitg in tho neighborhood
cf 25,0-;-' fens ricre. l'?g iron produc
tion is nc at an unprecedented rate,
the furaacs capscby being estimated at
1,0 jO.u;:) tons a month. At the South
manufacturing activity is a feature,
sales of irca being very heavy. A good
eiport demand for cottoa and gram at
Bteady prices is also a feature. At the
East a numLer of strikes against wage
reductions are reported or expected ia
the cotton industry. Some woolen mills,
working on heavy men's wear goods,
are refusing orders, their cai acity be
ing fully booked. Anthracite coal pro
duction, it is hoped ia that trade, will
be restricted sulilciently to allow of the
advance oi j to 4j cents per ton being
ma-nttiined. 'i'kj -weather has been dis
appointing at the Northwest, but aa
improvement in tho demand developed
at some centres as the week advanced.
The rush to Alaska has already begun
on the Lucille coast. Freight charters
ore reported lower. Export trade con
tinues large, again of a per cent on
the total export cf bteadstuds, cotton
and mineral oils, cctLlo and hogs and
provisions being shown both for De
cember and the calendar year. "
TI1E CAMPAIGN OF IOOO.
Wm. J. IJrynn's Intention? if He !
Nominated.
W. J. Rryan, ia concludiag a 6peech
before the Bryen League at the Tre
mont Houao, Chicago, III., during a
banquet made soma remarks which are
interpreted as showing his intentions if
he is nominated for tho presidency in
1000. In speaking 0f tho next presi
dential election, Mr. Bryan said :
"It may be wo will bo'ptrocg enough
to win without any outside help. But,
nevertheless, I prefer to win with the
Populists on ono side and tho fiee sil
ver Repub!icaii3 on the other. And we
must not forget when the victory is
won, that in tho campaign of last year
it tool: more courage on the part cf the
free silver Republican to desert their
old rarty, nndmere Beli-sacriuce ou tha
pan of tho i opniixts to go outside c?
their organization for a presidential
candidate, because he agreed with thorn
on the pni amount issue, than it did for
the Democrats to support the ticket
which was nominated by their own na
tional coaventiou. "
FOR A FUSION OF ALL.
Jones Is Act!i?R for the Democratic
Party, Butler for the Populists.
As a result of conferences held within
the last few days at Washington be
tween tho silver leaders of various par
ties, it is understood that Chairman
Jones, of the Democratic national com
mittee, Chairman Butler, of the Popu
list national committee, and Chairman
Towue, of the Silver national Republi
can committee, will issue a joint mani
festo with a view to securing common
action by tbe three organizations in the
political contest of loVd. 'J he draft of
the document is now in the couro of
preparation. They will appeal to all
those interested in the cause of silver to
work in union and to avoid rival organi
zations by which their common strength
wiil be dissipated.

they were passing ov.r a corduroy

As they cro-se.l l'i' br!di,i f.ip tlo
