It is a disease of the stomach and lungs, and usually takes cattle off very soon after showing symptoms. We see that the Lawrence Herald abuses somebody for telegraphing to the St. Louis Democrat that a fatal cattle disease is prevailing in Kansas.

The Her ale says it has interviewed cattle men and editors of so-called agricultural! papers, who say there is no truth in the story. Thise is truth in it, and the papers may as well own it, and stir up cattle owners to try to discover the cause and a remedy, instead of trying to suppress the truth until the cattle are all dead. The disease is fatal, and is spreading. Troy Chief. We made no inquiry as to any disease in Brown county or W' olf river.
