STOCK ITEMS.


From the Pittsburg Price Current March 27th.
There will be some shipments of live
cattle for England this week.
week were none alive, and $3.50 quarters
of beef.
One load of primo sheep, averaging 182
pounds, was sold on Monday at $3.50 per
cwt.
! An English steamer is soon to take 500
mules from the United States to Natal,
South Africa.
There being no pleuro-pneumonia at
! Chicago, the government cattle inspector
| there has been relieved.
Some shippers still complain that they
are losing money, but the greater part Of
them are doing little good.
| A company is forming at Flushing,
Holland, for the purpose of importing
American live cattle and fresh meats.
| There were more men accompanying
| stock this week than for some time past,
and things were lively and old fashioned.
A Lancashire, England, COW recently
| dropped four calves-two bulls and two
heifers-at one birth, all white and all
| doing well.
| The market closes with everything sold
| in all departments, and statesmen all seem
cheerful and well pleased, which is indie
ative of good average market.
There is strong inquiry at this time
for stock hogs, which are very scarce and
very difficult to procure. Those who pre-
ser ;e their files of the Drover'S Price Cur
rent will see that this state of thing was
foretold sometime ago.
Experienced feeders unite in saying
! that tho win hoe tla hac 60
cattle and sheep feeding for Il number of
years. Those thoroughly understanding
nifty generally made fair profit on their
winters work.
The practice of engaging sheep ahead
to be taken after clippings is not as prev
alent this spring as usual. Those engag-
ing at all (and the number is less than
heretoforel are generally to take them
with the fleece, to be clippedH for their
own benefit before marketing.
A large number of through cattle be-
ing unexpectedly thrown on our market
on Monday, in consequence of gloomy
Eastern advices, an unlooked-fOr depres-
sion ensued. The indications had been
for moderate run, but the Western mar
kets shipped in so literally as to COM
pletely change the aspect of affairs.
Farmers are laying In stockers this
! spring at higher prices than year ago,
and are having some difficulty in getting
what they want. Stockers are much more
scarce than usual. Feed Is still plenty,
money is easier, feeding is paying, and
many of those who usually sell stock cat
| tie are now holding on to them,

Less Texas cattle are going East this
spring than usual. For the last year or
two the drive from that State has cleaned
the stock up so closely as to somewhat
curtail the offerings for the seaboard.
The beef-canning business, too, has been
supplied to large extent from that quar-
ter-a business which absorbs thousands
of head per week. All this tends to give
our native cattle a much better chance.
The supply of local cattle to meet the
wants of this market for some time must
come from somewhere else than the scope
of country naturally tributary to it. The
cattle are not to be found in the country,
the demand. Chicago and st. Louis are
furnishing the bulk of the offerings here
now, and will no doubt continue to do sc
until Ohio and Indiana can do better for

The ConTeGernto Conrrena.

Chicago Times.
Both branches of the Congress of the
Confederate States have now been re-
moved from Richmond to Washington. .
Nearly all the officers of the Confederate
States Government are members of one
house or other. The feshless skeleton of
Vice President Stephens, suggesting a
terminated tenant of the Bourbon grave
yard, is the most notable object in the
Representatives Chamber. Postmaster
General Reagan and one or two other
members of the Richmond Cabinet are
leading members of the right in the same
chamber. Seventy or eighty other men,
bers of the Congress at Richmond or Briga-
der Generals of the Confederate army.
The Congress Of the Confederate States
has been removed to Washington, and
nearly all the commanders of the Con-
Iederate armies are come to Washington
as members thereof. Jefferson Davis is
Gle only conspicuous member of the Rich
uloha Huo government who has not moved to
Washlngton as member of the Southern
congress. But the Confederates of Miss
lsslpPl are talking of sending him to the
oehaIe IN place of Bruce, when his term
expires. Unless Providence should in
terfere, there is not the least reaso, e.
doubt that the President of the ConFaJar. ~
ate States will also remove to WashinGtor
and resume the role of public office ss /
Confederate Senator.

Hon. W. III. REED, the Democratic Rep
resentative from Ross county to the Ohio
Legislature, refused to vote on the ques-
tion of the passage of Quinby's local op-
tion bill. Although he did not vote at all
ne claims, that by not voting, his refusal
was equivalent to voting against the
DILL as it required majority of all the
votes TO pass it (55), which it did not re-
ceiVe' and was, therefore, lost, as it would
nave been, even if Mr.. Reed had voted
for 1t. His reason for not voting for the
bill, says the Chillicothe Gazette. are that
"the present laws of the State unon the
liquor traffic are failure, therefore I
will not vote to alter or amend them >,
The Gazette makes the following sensible
remaks upon Mr.. Reeds flimsy excuse
for not voting for local option: eve will
venture the assertion that Mr.. Reed would
not have refused to vote to alter or amend
the laws of the State upon any other sub
Ject upon SO flimsy pretext. No Law
upon the statute books is fully enforced
at all times, and yet we have not hereto
fore heard of legislators refusing to vote
because of that fact. 1t won't do. If {
law is right in principle it is entitled tc
the support of every Representative who
thinks so. If it is wrong in principle
tnat the majority should prevail, then the
representative should have the backbone
70 stand up in his seat and say so, and moi
record himself Indirectly az onnosed tr
that principle" The opposition to tenn
Perance laws, because they are not fully
executed, comes only from men who arC
opposed to all Legislation on the subject

shOrt-HOrn sale at Ch1llICOthe.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
CHILLICoTHE, o., March 27th.-The
joint sale of .short-horn cattle belonging
to Messrs. Geo. Grimes, John S. Steel,
VIM. A. Jones and A. w. Seymour, which
was held here to-day, was well attended.
This was one of the largest short-horn
sales ever held in this county, and at
tracted great many Western stock men
to this city. The stock sold very low.
Cattle that could not have been purchased
for thousands of dollars a few months
ago, were sold for few hundred. Messrs.
A. G. Bryant, of Missouri; Frank Rocka-
fellow, of Kansas; j. o. Edwards, of
Youngstown, O.; Curtis Holgate 6 Co.,
of Defiance, Ohio, and Geo. Gregg, of Cir
cleville, o., were the most extensive buy
ers.
First Duchess of Sharon, owned by
Geo. Grimes, brought the highest price,
which was 1910, bought by T. G. Jones,
of Delaware, Ohio.
The Third Duchess of Sharon, owned
by George Grimes, brought the next high
est price, $2lO, bought by James Slocum,
of Pennsylvania.
The remainder of the sales ranged from
$40 to 5000, the gross receipts being about
$8, 900. Col. j. w. Judy, of Illinois, was
the auctioneer.

The 'tEatherIy Treaament' of Father
KeiTer-His ResfsnatIOm Sent In.

Ketfer-His ResfsnatlOn Sent In.
Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
XENIA, O., March 27.-I have spent two
days in investigating charges of immoral
conduct against DR.. Keifer, Superinten-
dent of the Soldiers and Sailors Or
phans' Home, and find the following con-
dition of affairs to exist:
The Doctor has made practice of kiss
ing the matrons and teachers in the
schools-embracingt them as he terms 1t,
in fatherly way. This practice was ex-
tended to the girls between the ages of
twelve and sixteen, and was quite gener-
al. OF the lady employees twenty-nine
state that they were kissed by the Doctor,
| and. all assert, against their will. In
some cases the kissing was repeated twice
and thrice, but after this they avoided
him, staying away from his Office, and
when compelled to go there would not go
| alone. He seemed to be regardless of
age, and decidedly indiscriminate. He
would also kiss and fondle the young
girls, who were generally his favorites,
one or two of whom he kept detailed as
attendants and ushers.
The Doctor makes no denial of the kiss
ing, but said he did it to make friends
with the ladies, and that he wanted the
little girls to have a feeling for him as fol
a father. My information is derived
exclusively from persons now connected
