A BIG STEER.
Steak Giants on Exhibition at Chicago
ThfrpgO ITara11


Chicago Herald
When Cattle King Gillette drove his
2200-pound steer into the Exposition
building yesterday morning he patted the
beast on the back, illuminated his face
with a.smile OF satisfaction, and then de-
clared in soft voice that the animal
he was leading was aboutas large as steers
grow in this city OF big things and
phenomenal freaks. Other farmers who
had entered giants of the stock farm left
their animals and came over to look at
and admire the Gillette leviathan. All
agreed that the monster was without a
rival. For several hours the big beast
was the subject of agricultural comment,
and the biggest bovine feature of the
show. The steer, too, seemed to be
proud OF his dimensions, for he seemed to
survey "the common herdn with a super
| cilious air. Once or twice he gave utter
ance to a below in keeping with his
breadth, and shook his horns in a men
acing way.
Just about the time the clocks Of the
| city were striking the eleventh hour
there was loud noise at one of the en-
| frances OF the building. Three men, tug
giRg away at something apparently very
large and obstinate, were first to enter
Then the head and shoulders OF beast
unlike steer but closely resembling
an elephant in size, crossed the thres-
hold, followed three minute slater by the
remainder OF the body. The Gillette le-
vianthan turned around In his stall, eyed
the new conner in a daZed sort of a way
and then ratified the windows in the glass
roof with a roar that came right from the
neighborhood of his big, jealous, Short
horn heart. The late arrival numbered
down the aisle back OF the Percherons and
was placed in a shed about the size OF an
ice-house in the extreme north end of the
building.
"I'm merely farmer from Ohio" said
j. X. McGregor, the owner OF the
beast, "but having heard so much talk
about big steers | thought | would trot
out this little fellow and bring him up
here just for fun, The Ohio farm
ers consider my seven-year-old
steer the seventh wonder of the
world, and perhaps some other peo-
| pie will be of the same opinion before
this show closes. The dimensions OF the
animal are these; Hei ut, feet inches /;
girth, II feet inches; between hip
| points, feet 4 inches; from tip to tip,
rs feet. The steer is three-quarterh Sort
horn and one-quarter old Patton stock.
He enjoys excellent health, and is still

NEW CARLISLE.

NEW CARLISLE. Nov. 25.-Mrs. Ellis, of
Yellow Springs. delivered a scientific tem-
perance lecture in the Christian church last
Sabbath evening. illustrated with charts
showing the comparative expenditures for
some of the necessities Of life with that of
liquor and tobacco; also, showing the bad
effects that liquor and tobacco have upon
the human system. A large number of
young men were out TO hear this lecture,
and we Judge from the very close attention
they gave, and the effective way in which
the lecture was delivered. that it will do a
great deal of good. The most partial audi
tor must acknowledge the truth Of her state
ments. and cannot fail to be made bet
ter by hearing this very able lecture.
On Monday she exhibited her charts in each
department Of our public schools. and made
talks appropriate for each grade. The
children were all highly interested and were
astonished. We, as parents, do not appre-
ciate the great favor ii would be If some
one could keep our children from the use of
tobacco even. Many men now would lay
down large sums of money at the feet Of
him who could cure them from tobacco
without inconvenience; and every parent
would pay large sum for the guarantee
that his son would never be affected in
any way by the evils of liquor
