any of the members of their organizations
increasing. by purchase, the number of
cattle on their ranges. All of the larger
cattle owners are fencing their ranges, and
if this proves successful. and it appears it
will. there will be many acres of ungrazed
grass adeled,to their ranges, large strips
having been used rs dividing lines between
ranges.
There is now under construction and al
ready finished, continuous pastures from
the head of the Medicine river to Caldwell.
Ranchmen are paying more attention to
improving their c.lttle by the importation
of bloOded bulls. The demand for feeding
cattle by the feeders of Eastern Kansas.
Missouri. Illinois and Iowa is increasing
each season. for more corn and fewer cattle
is being raised in those sections each year:
hence they must look to the ranges now
growing cattle for their supply of feeding
animals for the future.
When rlnchmen are raising thrre year
old steers and selling them OH the Kansas
City and st. Louis markets for So and $40
that cost in growing to that age from So
to 81, it is not to be wondered ut that TeXas
COWS, with good calves by their sides, sell
here for $50. When stocks of cattle i'm
Texas sell for $50 to S25 per head, it is not
to be wondered at, when they sell here, I'M
proved, at $50 to S35 per head on range
sufficient to Craze them.
An experience of five years in the bnsi-
ness here-the outlook any year during
tliattime compared with this year-convin-
ces MS that there is yet rs good an invest
ment in cattle, if properly III mayed, as ANY
year since 1877, if not better.
The cIttle business in this section has
been and will continue to be Il success, so
long rs the range is not overstocked and
the time-honored customs and mwritten
laws which have governed ranchmen. ars
lived up to and respected. But should the
range be overstOcked and hard winter
follow dry summer, with no new range
t. drive To, as in former years. great will be
the loss. With the ranchmen who have
been so long building up business. who
have rigedly lived up to the lIsages of the
country, ruin and disaster must come if
their rights are not respected.
y more systematic manner of gather
ingI and caring for cattle than in former
years has been adopted. and the handling
reduced to its lowest point. These causes,
with good crops, general prosperity, the
soundest currency the world has ever
known, gives us an assurance of good
times. and the ranchman who has a stock
OF cattle well located, may well calculate
OH sufficiency to take him comfortably to
the end of Efe's journey, even after his days
OF round-ups have passed.

Special TO the Register.
NEW CUMBERLAND, W. Va, August Is
A poor farm or infrmary is again being
agtated in Hancock county. The present
mode OF keeping the poor by farming them
out every year at so much head, is becom.
ing not only distasteful to. the people, but
is proving burdensome to the tax payer.
The largest single item in our expense ac-
count every year is the poor fund, and
those who have given the matter some at
tention are OF the opinion that we'll con-
Quoted infirmary or poor farm, where
paupers could all be taken care Of together,

more economical. Various propositions
looking to this end will be brought up and

thought would carry off the prize but WAS
prepared to give the ticket his best ener.

John II. Atkinson, Esq, was also seen
and interrogated as TO his Congressional
aspirations. He said his name had been
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation without his knowledge or consent;
that he wasn't a candidate, but thought
Hancock county should instruct for Judge
Maxwell OF Clarksburg, whom he consider
ed the strongest man in the district.
Thus it will be seen that Hancock county
is out of the race, so far as Congressional
timber is concerned, at least.

AnnsfnrdIY Deed.

PITTsBURG, August lS.-One OF the most
dastardly, cold-blooded attempts to wreck
a train, was made last night, at the first
treStle, this side of Allienippi Station, on
the Plttsburg e. Lake Erie Railroad. At
Alliquippi yesterday, there was a picnic
which was attended by some thousand or
more men, women and children, filling
some half dozen coaches. On the return
from Alliquippi, the train was going at
rapid rate. Just before entering the first
trestle the engineer discovered large beam
laying across the track. The discovery was
made lust in time to enable him to stop the
train. Had his attention been attracted in
another direction, but for minute before
he saw the obstruction, the train would have
been precipitated distance of forty feet 10
the ground below, and there would have
been terrible loss of life. Who placed
the obstruction on the track. or the motives
that impelled the fiend to doit, is unknown.
The excitement produced by the discovery
among the passengers was very great. The
railroad authorities offer a reward of five
hundred dollars for information which
will lead to the detection Of the would-be
train MreCker.

baltimore,

BALTIMORE, August lS.-During the past
week there was general dullness In
money and stock markets. and the volume
of business transacted was small. The
grain market was less active and the ex-
port demand fell off. Wheat ruled fairly
steady at the closing prices OF last week.
until Wednesday, when there was decline
to the lowest point, and business fell of.
To-day there was recovery to about the
prices of last week, but the market closed
dull and heavy. Corn is said TO be scarce,
and the receipts at this point were very
light but prices broke and to day the market
closed dull at decline of three cents from
the closing prices Of Friday last. The re-
ceipts were very small, but fully equal to
the demand. though there is said to be very
little stock left in the elevators. Oats
ruled firm generally, and good prices were
obtained, especially for job lots. Rice was
in small supply and ruled firm at an ad-
vance of to cents. Flour was very quiet
but holders were firm, and the week shows
no change in quotations, though the re-
ceipts were fair. The provision market
ruled firm, with fairly active demand for
Job lots. No round lots were offered
and full prices were obtained for
both loose and packed meats.
Butter was very dull. Sugar
was more quiet than usual, at the fruit
season, and business was slight for refined
while no raw stock was offered. Coffee was
very firm until yesterday, when there was
a disposition on the part of holders to make
a concession, but a general dullness pre-
vailed and the transactions were limited to
immediate necs ssities. Beef cattle were
shade better early in the week, but TO day
they are about nc off, with a limited de.
mand. Hogs ruled firm at full prices, and
though the receipts were small, they were
sufficient for the requirements of the trade.
Sheep and lambs were dull, and the market
was slow at the prices OF last week.
