The public sale of Galloway and Polled-
Angus cattle by the Leonards, advertised to
occurat Emporia on the 10Th inst, was de-
clared of and did not occur, owing to tue
prevalence Of the so-called foot-and-mouth
disease. However, from the sth to the It'll
OF April these gentlemen will unite with
Mr.. Cochrane in big sale at Kansas City,
as will be seen by their advertisement else
where. This will be agood opportunity to
secure bargains by our ranchmen, as it Is
more than likely that parties from the dis
tricts now Infected by disease will be pres
ent IN Kansas City in search Of cattle for
their farms. The grazing districts will
profit by the misfortunes OF their me- igh-
bors.

none Of these We're from any eastern point.
Cattle here are not kept closely confined in

roam at pleasure in broad pastures supplied
with plenty OF water and never muddy.
Our nnchmen are in full sympathy with
their brethren elsewhere and regard as wise
and timely the special session Of the legis-
