Range Cattle Outlook.

The course of the range cattle market
seems to. be disappointing: But why
ranchtiiefi shoiild have expected any.
thing different this season from previ,
GUS years we do not exactly understand.
There is every evidence that the cropo of
beeves from the plains will be fully as
large, if not larger than iiefetofdfe. Can
it be that the high prices for mature.
corn-fed native cattle lead ranehmeu
to great expectatiohs7 will they never
learn that there is great difference In
the cost of making ripe cofn-fed native
steers and grass bullocks on the plains.
Then the supply of the latter is much
in excess of the former at this season
of the year. Values Of range cattle
have not only dropped materially the
past two weeks but even at the prices
there has been but iittie life to the
trade: The good supply of natives for
this late in the stifhnet and the fact
that there must be rtisli of western
cattle after next month causing buyers
to go slow. Prices, however, while not
what western men had hoped for and
expected are holding up much the same
as this time last year: Light cattle are
selling here ut $500 to $50, and July
'26th, 'SS, they brought no more money.
Heavy steers sold here last July at S3..
IS to S4.00 and are now worth about the
same. These are not bad prices, with
the outlook ahead of us, It ID said by
those that should know that the Indian
Nation and Kansas will furnish their
full Quotas of range cattle this season,
while from Colorado, there will be O
good increase; and New Mexico will
ship thofe freely than ever before, and
fair number is expected from Arizona.
Wyoming never has had 50 many cat
tie as how, and the ranches in Montana
and Dakota have multiplied greatly In
the last two years. Not only has
the western cattle interests expanded
very mitch In the past few years, but
there has been d stihiulots given to cat
tie raising In the states. While there
has beefi sotte iricrease iii the cOnsumpi
ton Uf fleet, to be stire, is Thought to
have by no means kept pace with the
gain in the plumber of cattle. Hence,
rancliifien may expect low prices and If
last years figures are sustained should
be satisied.-K. c. Live Stock Record,

A dispatch from Kansas City saws:

Chicago dtiring the convention, bit the
daiigerotts illness of his wife, Who lives
here; has thus far kept him at home.
lie is engaged in business In this city.
Mumford has risSef met Ben. Butler.
He fiiade a statement to an Evening
Star reporter to-day, saying that hs
would surely kill Butler IL lie ff1ade the
race for president. lie says plan had
been formed TO kidnap Bitter and carry
him away if he could be Caught on
Southern soil. Twenty -..wo y,ars have
elapsed since the CO I'd with which Buts
ler is charged was committed. The young
man is now only 30 years Of ase;and It is
possible that he may work himself into
such frame of mind that assassination
will be the result: His mother only
heard of his Wild scheme to kill Butler
to-day, and was very mnch distressed.
If MumfUrd tahnot be restrained by his
friends he will wore than likely commit
some rash act: He expects to arrive iii
Chicago before the convention adjohrns.
His friends will try to keep him here.
Mumford has brooded over this matter
until he Is a nionUmianiae on the subs
ject. His plans for visiting the Chica-
go convention were laid very quietly,
and but for the fact that a friend to
whom his scheme was divulged became
frightened and informed on him the
crisis might have been expected at any
moments His purpose was discovered
and every effort made TO keep him at
home. 1t is thodght his wife 10 feigning
sickness on this account:
Mrs. Mumford in an interview to-day
said: II have iievet trained my sons to
hate Ben. Butler. 1 never spoke to
them of the sad tragedy Of 1852. Will

tionP Various republican senatorial
and representative conventions, in diff
ferent parts of the state, made up ex-
clusiyely of ptohibitionists because the
antis generally remained away from the
primaries, are instructing against re-
submission. The lsaders and the or
gans assure us that we may, and SO Ell
courage us, TO bolt these nominations.
We. believe it was d. r. Anthony VIC
heard say that the real issue in this
campaign is whether the people of
Kansas are lot of dait1piiools or hot.
We claim the right as republican to
protest against given policy of party
action, and we also claim the right to
refuse to follow line Of action which
has already been disastrous and must
be more so the farther it is pursued.
We repudiate the idea that the repub-
licaii party has any control of our views
concerning a thousand qiiestious not
contemplated in the party orsati-
cation. We stand by the national plat
form, and we will tolerate no additions
or subtractiOns. We deny that the as
pirations of any sinsls individual, even
at the sacrifice Of his convictions, con-
stitute an overwhelming argument why
we should do something we disbelieve
in. We believe that the longer this
question is trihed With the ffiore efdiir-
ing we make the increased democratic
majority in this state, and the more en-
during the alienation of republicans.
A re-submission of this question is d
very reasonable proposition-it is quite
likely that majority requests it. II
the prohibitionists are in the majority,
to have yielded this would hopelessly
wiped out the democratic party. But
the dernCrtatic party will take the field
for re-submission, theft candidate for
governor will make bold, manly and
straightforward fight on this single is

it or straddle, depending on the legis-
lative district III which he may be, the

party will alone suffer. The presiden-
tial ticket will of course Contribute
some strength to perpetGate this dn-
plicity, but it occurs to us that before
the canvass is over Blaine and Logan
and Click combination, especially with
everything conceded to Blaine and Lo-
gan, will be more easily comprehendeA
by the average voter than With a ticket
with head and tail each moving in op-
posite directions, and the only bitter
ness of the canvass contributing to
render more distinct tile difference: In
the days of the vigor and usefulness of
the party thisl kind of politics was
unknown; but in these modern days,
when leaders arei salaried by corpora
tions, we are much smarter. 1t may
win, but only to delay the end of the
heresy Of prohibition and the restora-
tiOn of unity to the party:

euttino Millef.

NJ J. Shepherd in Kansas City Times:
Hungarian and millet; when designed
for hay, should be Cit before they are
too ripe. If desired to save the seed it
is best to wait until the seed begins to
darken, but if not, and a good quail.
ty of hay is desired, it shotild be cut
whefi in full bloom, or as near thefeaf-
ter as possible. You cannot secure the
best quality of hay and at the slime
tifne secure good crop Of seed; one OF
the other must SITTER to considerable ex-
tent. And in deciding when Is the
most desirable time to cut; you must
determine which yoti prefer.
When there is a heavy crop il shotild
be cut early in the morning so as TO give
it all the sun possible, to secure hay of
best quality the cutting should cease by
nine O'Clock, and the hay allowed to
cure Until the middle of the afternoon;
when it can be raked up and hatled in.
i never could see the economy Of cock
ing UP hay in the field when it could be
possibly avoided. 1t requires no more
handling of loading UP the wagon than
it does to cock up, and you are then
handling the hay once for nothing, OF
once more than is necessary. OF course
sometimes is cannot well be avoided,
but generally it is more economical to
stack for the winter. If possible hum
garian and millet should be stacked un-
der cover for midway where any con-
siderable acreage is dewiest to hay
whether timothy, red top, clover,
or millet, and there Is not sufficient sun
in the barn. A good shed will be a
profitable investment as thefe is very
little or any danger of loss and every
load moved away may be considered
safe, and in wet, showery season will
very soon pay for the cost.

The following report of an Arthur

return from Chicago is worth presery-
ing:
Fellow citizens, left Louisville for
Chicago on the J. NJ. Sc l. railroad, and
as we wended our winding sinuosities
through the classic and placid forests
OF Indiana, the owlets, the birdlets and
the batlings came out from their nests
amid the foliage of the eternal oaks
and circling over my head, chirped:
go on, Brown, thou proud defender
OF thy country's liberties" Fellow cit
izens, when the name OF Blaine was
mentioned in that august body said
nothing, but lay as quiet as bull-pup
basking in the sun with blte-bottle
fly a-tickeling him on the nose; but
when the name of Arthur was uttered I
arose like the fierce Numidiafl Ion of
the desert, and, shaking the dew drops
from my shaggy name, gave one shriIl
shrek for liberty and half vote for

growing in Kansas; Senator Plumb has
succeeded in pocuringl an appropriation
for the construction of a diffusion ma
chine, for extracting the saccharine
from sugar cane, and which will be put
up at Ottawa. It is expected to be in
operation by September, and it is
thought it will extract 9S per cent of
the saccharine matter from the cane
pulp. This is great improvement
over the machines now in use, and its
working will be watched with much in

yearning for another great storm. The
recent flood in that state, when it sub
sided, left him the possessor Of a raft
of wood nearly mile long and a quar-

There were 5000 cedar rails, enough
