 cattle ranges. They work on the
 eyes of young calves, several ot
 which they have almost blinded.
 Northwestern Live Stock Jour
 nal: One of the most extensive
 irrigating ditches in the territory
 will be put in by parties connected
 with the Union cattle company
 It is said that it will be about one
 hundred miles in length.
 An exchange says: The hides of Galloway cattle, if taken off in the winter, will make fine "bufalo'' robes if properly dressed, or at least will make a good substitute. One on exhibition in Denver is much admired for its beauty.
 Texas Stockman: It is reported that two Englishmen, representing two million dollars capital, are now in Texas and propose to establish a line of steamers specially fitted up for carrying Texas dressed meats to foreign ports. "We told you so."
 Socorro Bullion: It is reported that D. Covert, of Denver, will bring into this county shortly 1O,- 900 head of cattle. MT. Covert will show good judgment by first ascertaining how much vacant range there is in this section of New Mexico.
 Dodge City, Kansas, Journal: Five hundred and five head of cat tie shipped from Osage county to Baltimore, Maryland, were loaded the day they got there for Liver pool, and by this time the nabobs over there are eating nice, fat, juicy Kansas beef.
 Clarendon Northwest Texan Henry Hamburg and Charles Rath, of Mobeetie, and Harry T. Groom, of the Francklyn cattle company, last week purchased 26,88O acres of land in Ochiltree county. This land was sold by an execution, and was purchased for thirty cents an acre.
 San Angelo Times-Enterprise J. NJ. Miller, jr., of Erskine, saw car load of three year old Durham natives" in St. Louis, that aver aged 1,509 pounds, which sold at six cents. That is $90.54 a head, over three times as much as the best Texas beeves of the same age would bring.
 Albuquerque Journal: The re- moval of the great cattle herds from the Arapahoe and Cheyenne lands will contribute largely to the taxable wealth of New Mexico. We will get many thousands of these cattle, and we want all we can get, provided their owners secure ranges for them and do not trespass upon the rights of others.
 Medora Oak. Cowboy: Orders came from the Marques, Tuesday, 1 % begin killing a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five cattle per lay. This will set the works run hing on full time. If the present contract for beef holds permanent ( y, the slaughter house and cooling C ooms will be enlarged. I

II so, all IS we'll.
 It is claimed by ranch owners 1T
 various parts of our territory that
 they have room for many thousand
 head of cattle yet, and that they are
 ready and willing to receive a part
 of the cattle now being driven out
 of the Indian territory.
 Albuquerque Journal: Eighteen thousand head of cattle from the Indian territory, destined for Ari- zona, will soon begin to pass over the Atlantic & Pacific road, and will be unloaded at Ash Fork. They are part of the vast herds recently ordered by the president to be drawn out of the Indian ter ritory.
 Albuquerque Journal: If the sickness that has just made it's ap- pearance among the cattle on Cros- sons ranch, below this city, is of fatal and contagious kind, as seems probable, the governor should at once exercise all the powers at his command that may be necessary to prevent the spread of the dis ease. Eternal vigilance in such matters is the price of healthy cattle.
 A Fort Scott, Kansas, dispatch of the 14th says: Two train loads of cattle from the Indian territory, numbering 900 head, passed by this city tonight, en route for Chi cago, being the first to make their exit from the territory under the presidents order. These cattle were brought over the St. Louis, Fort Scott & Wichita railroad from the ranch of the Austin cattle company, 165 miles west of Anthony, Harper county.
 Tom Greene Times-Enterprise |: While we cannot rejoice at any thing that contracts the market for Texas cattle, we confess to a grim sort of satisfaction over the fact that Colonel Bob Hunter and other big cattlemen who have been en- deavoring to prevent Texas cattle from passing through the territory, are now getting dose of their own medicine. Had Texas cattle been let alone, nobody would have the Indian territory.
 Kansas City Indicator: Mir. J. W. Sullivan, of Prescott, Arizona, was a caller yesterday. This gen. 5leman, in connection with MT. Wm. Garland, has just shipped rom Ash Fork, A. T., to Mulvane's 'anche, in Wabaunsee county, Kansas, 600 feeding steers and ex- oects 300 more to arrive this week. He reports that A. B, Matthews, of Kansas City. had within a day or wo purchased in Arizona 1,4OO t teers of the same class for his t anch near Kinsley, Kansas. (
 Soeorro Bullion: The percent I ge of cattle losses on western l anges is not larger than in the I tates. This statement, althoughit nay seem little fishy to eastern i eople, is susceptible of the clear q st proof. The natural loss on f astern cattle, the year round, will i, ot fall short of four or five per T. ent, while it is not uncommon for f, le loss on range cattle to fall far q elow these figures. The present ear, for instance, the loss on accli- lated range cattle will not exceed 0l ne per cent. s Chicago Drovers' Journal: It is :. nderstood that very soon the Mar e lis de Morse will discontinue his - stem of fresh meat refrigerators ir ong the whole line of the North ta n Pacific.

STATEMENT.

THE undersi gned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi-
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums Oh II Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of Il
stated period; thus. during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontinc pc.
licies approximate to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like Others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incOntcstable after three years, and
no ~ h1n m al Ia talv oftar n Of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit,
7th-Tontinc policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as
surance is effected
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and

funds judiciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first hall
of the present year is $1,75O,000 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O,000,0OO; over $l4. 000,-

to Liability is greater than that OF any

r. NJ. Smith, the veteran cowman
from the Mule creek country was in
this week and astonished crowd of
hearers by announcing that the cows in
his section, or many Of them, are crazy
as bed-bugs. He says that the severe
cold weather, or something else, seems
to have had most disastrous effect on
the brain of the cows, and that they
wander aimlessly around, appearing to
care nothing for the consequences.
Frequently they will be found dead at
the foot of some steep declivity. from
which they have fallen; again they have
crossed a stream and climbed into the
toughest and most inaccessible part of
canyon, and there died; others will
deliberately commit suicide by going
into deep pools of water aud holding
their heads under water until death
relieves them of trouble. Mr.. Smith
said That he noticed these strange
freaks of the bovine family several days
ago and before heel fly made its APP

generally of Barber county, and more
especially those who are interested in
seeing prosperous towns built up, to
know that Sharon's star is in the as
tendency and every Indication points to
it being the second best town in the
county. Heretofore there has been a
feeling that perhaps the future of Sha-
ron was in doubt; but we are prepared
now to state that beyond a doubt the
railroad company will make Sharon the
only station of Importance between
Medicine Lodge and Attica. The COM
pany has recently purchased half in
terest in 10 acres OF decided land near
the depot, and this has been laid off in
to $50 desirable town lots, which may
now be obtained at. most reasonable
prices. The Sharon Town company is
the other half owner, and the sale of
these lots is in the hands of the latter.
The railroad company will be allowed
two of the FIVE directors in the Town
company. and the company is working
in the best of harmony. The depot is To-
Gated four blocks from the present Main
street of the town, directly southwest
and leading to the depot are wide streets
and avenues. The business lots are Ok
40 feet, and the residence lots are 5ox-
