Texas Is shipping dressed beef in rcfrig-
orator cars to st. Louis, and last week n
train of this beef made the trip from Fort
Worth to st. Louis ia 81 hours, and the
beef was found TO be in excellent condi-
ton. The GlObc-Democrat thinks that If
dressed beef can be received in st. Louis
from Texas In less than three days time
1t Is safe TO say, that with the economic adj
vantages that manner OF shipping beef
possesses, tho fact of rapid transportation
being taken into consideration, there can
but little be said in favor of the shipment
of live stock as that method at present ex.
lists. Had this train carried live stock in
stead OF dressed beef two stops Of fifteen
hours each would have had To be made in
order to rest and feed the cattle. There is
no reason why, under the system of re-
frigeration adopted in Texas, where beef
ean be so dressed and prepared as to keen
fresh for months, all the Strengthening
should not be done right where the cattle
are found.
We have always contended that when
the railroad reaches Medicine Lodge the
dressed beef industry will be sure to
spring up here. We have the natural To-
cation for immense Strengthening pens,
plenty of pure water, ponds from which
excellent ice can be procured, and above
all, the cattle country surrounding. II
would not surprise us to see an extensive
Strengthening establishment here withiA Il
year.

The DEVILS Jubilee.


Ii is impossible to conceive anything
baser, any display of conscious turpitude
more revolving than the oxidation of the
Blaine press over the Ohio election. To al
intents and purposes the result of the con-
test is republican defeat. But, when we
take into account the methods that were
applied to snatch this Buckeye brand
from tht burning, il is an infamy of the
most damnable description.
Yet we have the smug-facej rasclls vie
with shameless bandits in dealing ont the
hypocritic.lingo ard lying cant which have
become the tocsins of this robber canvass,
and with hands reeking with murder and
plumber, appealing to the brass, iron and
wooden gods of protection, to bear witness
to their unexampled vllainy.
When the devil wants gala day he goes
to Ohio. Tuesday he found the elements
there ready to give him a royal reception.
In the person of the Plumed Ananias his
nuncio had preceded him. Black Jack, his
coal-heaver-and made him after his own
image-had been there too. What wonder
that he enjoyed himself, and left curse
that will stick behind him.
AT this moment throughout Ohio the cry
is: "Long live the Devil All honor to
Hellr'

sponsible for there brins no court house

With grand flourish the republicans
stweek announced that they had carried
Ohio by from twenty to twenty-five thou
sand, and there was no foundation for such
declaration other than the one-sided and
lying reports Of the associated press. The
truth i that the head of tie republican
ticket in Ohio was elected by eleven thou
SInd-or about twenty five thousand less
votes than Garfield carried the state by i'm
1880.
Before the election last week the republi-
cans tried to make it appear that West
Virginia would 20 republican; but it
turned up a nice little democratic majority
Of about eight thousand, and will undoubt-
edly cast its electoral vote for Cleveland
and Hendricks.
This will then give the democrats the
solid soath with 1913 electoral votes ont of
anfceSsary POI: and so Cleveland will need
only Is more 10 have pol. Then what do
we have? New York will. give him SO,
and he will only need II more. Indiana
Will step Up with 10 and have three to
spare. Or New Jersey and Nevada, both
of which went for Hancock, can furnish
the necessary II; or California could Give
s, and Connecticut s, for both are now
democratic; or perhaps Wisconsin could
help rs ont. And then there is Ohio which
may fall into line; but leaving it out of the
question, the states we have named are al
most certain to go for Cleveland.
At the last election Indiana went demo-
cratic by 10000; Connecticut by 1000;
California by 23,OO0. Nevada by $50; New
Jersey by $500 and Wisconsin by 5000.
Cleveland does not need all of these-and
two will be sufficient, or even Indiana
alone will do.

II has been the policy of tiie repnbscans.
ia con,lucting their campaign owe the
country tIils season to indulge in al the
glitter and show possible, under tlk inn
preston that the people would mistake
noise anil filagree work for strengn and
enthusiasm. Everywhere they hate had
demonstrations the exercises were con-
ductcd with torchIight professions. fam
branx clubs, great array Of white plumes
ami bright colors. All Of this may please
the di'de element. but it certainly does not
take well among the-hard- working classes,
those who are forced to work cary and
late for the actual necessaries &c life.
Pomp and display are not calculatedto i'm
press the hungry miners thrown oat of
work by the importation OF foreign labor.
The gilded trappings OF federal Offhe-hold-
ers may please women, negroes and chill
dren, but there is no argument In sch do
ings.
In Ohio the magnifcence Of the presi-
DENTAL excursion lost the republicans at
least ten thousand votes, and thar is re-
publican state. In every state where the
republicans attempt to make votes by
splendid circus professions, brass bands
gilded buttons, pomp and show, they will
get lft every time.

Sale Of Galloway and Aberseen-Aneus.

Among the important sales Of blooded
stock to be held at Kansas City during the
week of the fat stock show, is the joint
sale Of Messrs. Leonard Brothers, Mt.
Leonard, Mo-, and Walter c. Weldon,
Kansas City. These gentlemen, who have
given considerable and exclusive attention
to the black cattle interests, will offer a
very choice lot of animals, both male and
female. The catalogue comprises selec-
tons from some of the best herds of Scot
land, and representatives of some of the
most noted stock will be offered.
The Galloways are from the Tarbreoch,
ParcelstOwn, Tinwald Downs and Drum
laurig stock, and will afford our breeders
an opportunity to secure some choice AMI
mails and form the nucles Of herd for
themselves. Among them Mr.. wecdon
offers the noted Canadian bred bun, John
ny Cope, 265, which gained considerable
note in a test Of feeding ~ days, while in
the herds of Mr.. Philo Lasher, when he
made the gain Of 2es pounds, and he has
proved himself NEST excellent sire.
The Messrs. Leonards offer some choicly
bred heifers, and among their lot the young
bull nolyrOod (2S54l, member of the
Hunning tribe, descendant of Statesman
(630), and very promising animal.
In the Aberdeen-Angus lots are some
very fine animals. Nudge of Reethyen

and worthy Of any breeders care; while
Young Jennet, Fourth of CountesswelIs,
1905, tS042) claims Ter foundation blood
through the noted sire Angus and
the dam Of Jenny Lind GAY. The
bulls are choice lot indeed. We call es-

When stockmcn down in this portion of
Kansas remember how mindful Gov.
Click has been Of their best interests. they
VIII not hesitate to give him their undi-
vided support. Last spring when it was
thought that the dread foot-and-mouth dis
ease had made its appearance in Kansas he
was the first to realize the importance of
having effective legislation to prevent the
spread of disease; and though he knew
the town and ward politicians would use it
against him, he promptly assembled the
legislature in special session. 1t turned
oft that the dread disease did not spread /;
but II was we'll enough to be prepared for
any emergency, and Gov. Click is just the
man to act wlren he believes he Is right.
u Is all well enough for smart alexis, po-
hticai bummers aud heightened profess
slonh men to laugh at the demands made
by the agricultural and live stock commun-
lies; but il may have been noticed that the
true representative aud champion Of the
whole people is always willing to give as
Sistance to all in need Of Il. The cattlemen
have demanded quarantine, and it has been
ordered The farmers and producers have
asked for uniform freight rates and they
have been gratified. The tax payers have
demanded that the rich railroad corpora
tions be checked in their career Of stealing
large bodies OF public lands, and the fraud
was stopped.
Where bis predecessor delegated the inn
portant duties to clerks and assistants, Gov.
Click has devoted his entire time and at
tention.
His competitor, Col. Martin, Is known
10 be strict partisan; selfish and narrow
minded, with only one object In view,
that being to get elected; lac i inexpcIien-
eed and as governor might prove an expen-
sive experiment. Therefore, intelligent
voter, do not hesitate to east your ballot
for Click and good government.

Aswill be seen from his card in another

his supporters might direct. If he has
taken any other position, it is clear cise
