Kansas Cowboy: Harry Dunbar writes
to Mr.. Richmond as follows, from New
Kiowa: "There are not many steer
cattle for sale here, and they are in good
demand. y great many she cattle are
sold here"
John II. Carigan, who had 800 head
of cattle from Bee county, Texas, on the
drive, sold all of his yearlings to +. G..
Dudley and his twOs to Senator Wood
liff, of Colorado. 1t Is reported that he
received Sll head for his yearlings.
Iii KOilar came up from his range on
the Cherokee Strip, this week, with IL
car loads of beeves, which he shipped to
Kansas City. The cattle were big and
fat and will doubtless average 1875 a
head. Mr.. Kollar says he had no trouble
on the trail: 1t was open with no OBJ
structions I'm the way.
Ludwig Kramer arrived in Dodge City
this week from his ranch. lie says the
report about Texas fever being among
cattle on his range is incorrect. His
cattle were never healthier or IN better
condition than they are now. He will
ship about 500 splendid beeves 10 mar
ket this fall via Dodge City. His beeves
are large and fat, being threes fOurs and
lives.

A Mother Hubbard Suicide.
IChicago Herald.l

Probably the most remarkable tragedy
of the day was that which occurred In
Dorchester County, Maryland, lately,
when Mr.. Charles II. Lampley. wealthy
and high spirited man, killed himself
in a ballroom because his wife
had gone to the place in a Mother
Hubbard dress. The dance was given
at the clubhouse of the Dorchester
County Fox Hunters, and Mrs. Lampley.
having been bantered by her husbands
nephew about the conventionalities of
dress, and ''dared" to go in Mother Hub
bard dress, had done so in a spirit OF fun.
as she supposed. The fox hunters had not
yet reached the clubhouse when she arr
rived in her carriage, aud going at once to
the q )or she was soon surrounded t,y many
admirers When her husband came on
the scene he was intensely indignant, and
escorting her without word to one of the
dressiug-rooms he upbraided her for her
imnodesty. As she under ook to explain
matters he became mtre ungoveraable
than ever, and drawing a revolver, which
he still carried in his hunting belt, he shot
himself, falling dead at her feet. There
will be no general dissent from the opin-
ion that OF the two foolish performances
that Of the husband was The worst. The
Mother Hubbard was not very ap. ropriats
in a bali-roo m lut it was qrite 40 much
90 as suicide.

Judicial.

From what we can hear from every
source it seems to us that Hon. J. T.
IIerrick, of Wellington is almost the
unanimous choice of the democracy of
the diocese as the proper man t. fill tie
position of judge of the 18th judicial
district. Our people are not so inti-
mately acquainted personally withJud, g
IIerrick as they are with many other
| lawyers connected with the bar of the
district, as he is a man who attends
strictly to business and does not leave
his study except when actual business
calls him from home. At his home in
Wellington, and in all Sumner county,
no man, in any of the professions, or
other callings, stands higher than does
Judge Herrick. He is an unasSuming.
quiet gentleman who never opens his
mouth unless he says something sensi-
BILE, and i'll years of practice has never
been known to give hurried or careless
opinion an any question of law. Al
though Judge IIerrick has been in pub
lie life and held various positions of
trust and honor there has never been so
much as charge of dishonesty laid at
his door. The people of the district
without regard to party, honor and re-
spect Judge Herrick, as his Is years of
practice at the bar is before them sub
ject to examination and criticism. The
best proof of bis popularity at home is
the fact that he oyercame republican
majority of 500 in his own county and
was elected by $50 majority for the Office
of county attorney. Then again through
the bitter Blaine-Clev Gland campaign
when Blaine received a majority of 1901
in Sumner county Mr.. Herrick was only
defeated by 63 votes. In fact there is
not parallel to the above case in the
political history of the United States in
a presidential year. The Times is for
Judge Herrick for the rea son that we
believe he can be elected. He is the
best and most available man in the dis
trict for the position. The Times has
taken the trouble to look up and review
his history politically and socially and
finds it without blemish. And last but
not least he is a Christian gentleman
who would reflect honor and credit upon
the district.-Harper Times.

DEMING, n. NJ, Aug %, 1885.
EDITOR INDEX: see by your paper
that the cattlemen who are in the In
dian Territory will have TO remove their
stock. L will say to those men who are
III search of new ranches that it may be
to their interest to visit New Mexico for
a location. There are yet numerous
ranches with large tracts of good grazing
land for sale here and solde of them
V ry reasonable.
Our pioneer stock men have made the
cattle business pay extremely well here
and L think the chances are fully
as good yet.
We have several advantages here over
Kansas and the Indian Territory. One
is, the winters are mild and stock suf-
fers very little; and the grass here seems
to contain more nutriment than in Kan
sas, although it is not so thick and
thrifty. q. III. BLOOM.

A Cat That Picks Apples.

Mr.. George Baldwin. of Waterbury. has
several apple and pear trees. and last fall
his cat awoke to the fact that these trees
bore fruit which his masters family liked
to eat. One day in October the cats own
er was surprised by tn, action of his pet.
The animal was walking slowly about
one OF the trees, stopping every minute or
two to gaze up at the apples on the
boughs. After completing its tour of In
spection the cat climbed the tree and slowly
made its way cut on a limb tow ard what
was probably the largest and ripest a. pie
of the several bushels OF fruit on the tree.
When 1t reached its goal ths animal made
several attempts to break tho st I'm with
is teeth and finally succeeded 1t had
taIken care to bite off bit of the stem
long enoagh to lie securely held, AMI wi b
its Prize in its mouth, the cat began its de-
scent. Once on the ground the apple was
carried to a porch and laid by the side of
a door opening into the house. The ex-
pioit was frequently repeated by Mr..
Baldwin's sagacious puss, aud tn, side OF
The porei was usually lined with apples.

arose from tho chair in which he had SAT
