The Chicago Inter- Ocean notes the
fact that the recently published trade
review of that city omits one of the most
extensive and profitable industries car
ried on therein. 1t is the business of
gambling; and the Inter Ocean gives
one of the leading gamblers of the city
as authority for the assertion that the
business has amounted to over $S,000,-
600 during the year, his own profits in
it having averaged $1,000 day since
January, 1881. These figures do not
include the gambling done "on

useful, work horse. Many things have conspircd
to effect this desirable end, chief among which
have been the intelligent care and consideration
bestowed upon the animal in his every relation
in word, upon the breeding. And this has
not failed to include very serious modification
of the old methods of treatment, doing away i'll
many cases, with the inhuman and really savage
plans pursued in the eradication of even simple
disorders and ailments, and substituting rational
measures of relief instead. A prominent factor
of this reform, and one Endorsed by owners,
breeders, farmers and stockmcn the country over,
is ST. JACOBS OIL, recognized by all who have
used it as an exceptionally good remedy for the
ailments of the horse and stock generally, meet
ing more indications for its and ef1ecting far
better results than any article of curative or
remedial nature ever introduced. Such breeders

to several of our citizens, and the

him that Frank James was in the city.

the notorious desperate Frank James
of train robbery fame.
They told our friend Mounts not
to say anything about the matter, as
it might cause considerable excite
ment. Mounts, who is connected
with Il paper that never deals with
news or sensations, seemed overcome
with the startling news. He informed
Sheriff Woodward III a short time
that Frank James was in Mexico.
The sheriff was posted, and made no
bad break In the meantime it
was reported up and down the rail
roads that Frank James was in Mex
leo, and seen in company with ten OF
twelve suspicious looking parties.
Sleriffs and constahIeS were cleaning
up their fire arms, and making prepa-
rations to capture Frank james and
get the $4,000 reward offered fol
that noted train robbcr.
