A BIg Gap.

Harry Wilkes. no doubt, has de- cidedly the advantage in speed over any other trotter now engaged on the turf. His career thus far this season has been very brilliant. He wins his races handily, has already equaled his best record of a:Is and several times has closely approached it. He IS a gallant, game, level-headed and speedy trotter, and deserves all the plaudits that attend his victories over foemen worthy of his steel, like Clem- mic G. and Phyllis. But we some times hear silly talk about Harry Wilkes, and it is we'll enough to point out its stiffness. For instance, when Harry trots his mile in a:I5, we fre- quently hear people say, "Ah, look at that! The li;tle fellow has all his speed. He'll beat Maud S.'s time yet" These people do not fairly consider what gap there is between 2:I5 and the time of Maud s. They know it is 6A seconds, but do not realize what 6A seconds is at such a clip. Starting even, and Maud s. tro,ting in a:oSA and Harry Wilkes in a:Is, the latter would be abou! ten yards inside the distance flag when Maud was at the wire. By picturin g in ones mind in this manner the actual gap that would be between them when finishing at their best speed, we can better realize the supe- riority of one trotter to another than by simply thinking of the figures of their records. Harry Wilkes may be Lord Chamberlain, or something , like that, to Maud S., but he can never sit on the throne with her. - Turf, Field and Farm.

Breeding on the Western Plain.

With the greatest admiration for the Shorthorn, the Hereford, the Sussex and the Angus Aberdeen, my preference over these, where cattle have to rustic for living, particularly through severe winter, the best and most profitable bull for breeding pur- poses is undoubtedly the Galloway. The reason for this is his superior hardness.
 The Scotch district where he origi- hated and has been long bred is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and its whole surface is constantly exposed to be swept by the cold, fierce winds which blow from it. In consequence of this, the Galloways are covered with fine, thick fur, overlaid by a second covering of long, shaggy hair, resembling that of the buffalo. With such protection this enables them to withstand the blizzards of the west better than any other breed ot cattle among us and quite as we'll as the buffalo itself. Joined to his superior hardness, the Galloway is of very  thrifty growth, fattening rapidly and economically, and makes a superior quality of beef, bringing a higher price than any other in the English market, save Kyloe, (West High lander) and the Aberdeen. No mat. ter what the color of native COWS brec to these bulls, or how long then horns may be, the calves which they produce from this cross are almos invariably of a black color, and grow up destitute of horns, like their sires Oi the great advantage ot breeding boiled steers, feeding and marketing them, l need not dwell. The superior economy, safety and pleasure of thI is now so we'll demonstrated on tn, great western plains that Gallowa bulls are eagerly sought for, and whenever found, aIe taken up at extr. prices.

The extreme rowdy west IS bad place for quack doctor or dentist to turn up in, for while he may succeed in gulling few, he is bound to make a mistake sooner or later, and his Satanic Majesty is to pay generally. A cowboy named Clay Allison, at Las Vegas, sold lot of steers the other day, and as one of hls teeth was troubling him, instead of going off on high lonesome, and spelling the town for any future use, he very wisely or unwisely as it subsequently, proved called upon dentist to have his ach- ing tooth patched up. The alleged dentist, knowing that he had plenty ot money with him, decided to make all he could, and proceeded to bore a hole in perfectly !sound tooth, and fill it. Being the rankest kind of a quack he bungled, and the result was that he split the tooth. The patient got mad and went to another dentist, who informed him of the state of affairs. At this his anger waxed hot ter, and returning to the slaughter house of the quack, he grabbed pair of forceps, knocked the hend down, and clinching on to nice, sound double back tooth, brought 1t out with a pop that made the poor wretch's head swim. At the next grab, he got a front tooth and a portion of the mans upper lip, and had only suc- ceeded in ripping his face half of, when the crowd that had been at- tracted by the mans screams, inter- fered, and pulled the cowboy of

Have you ever travelled over the A. & P. railroad through Arizonal If not, you should lose no time in mak-
 ing the trip. You would be both astonished and delighted---astonished
 that you had heard so little of such a beautiful country, and delighted at sight of its tall pines, its luxurious
 and nutritious grasses, its sleek herds and focks, and its lovely climate. The elevation above the sea level from Winslow to Ash Fork, a dis tance of IIS miles, is from 5000 to 1000 feet. Here the bovine attains perfection, the high altitude and the rich grasses makes bullock equal to Montana and Dakota. At Winslow
 saw a train of wintered Texas steers shipped for Kansas City by the Aztec Cattle company-Capt. Henry War. ren vice-president and general mana ger. These cattle had been just one
 year from Texas but they had taken on a much more cheerful look, and seemed "to the manner.born" Capt. Warren was shipping in the Burton cars as an experiment. He weighed them at Winslow so he would know just what the shrinkage was at Kan sas City; but unfortunately they had allowed the cattle to dnnk at an al- kali pool, and then being heated while penning and loading they be- came sick and had to be unloa1ed at Albuquerque, where sixty one of them died. The balance were turned on to pasture and have recovered. Thl: was very distressing occurrence, no, only to Capt. Warren. who IS big, hearted, whole-souled gentleman, of the old time Texas sort, but the nu- merous cattlemen who were watching with interest his first shipment of the untamed Texan in the Burton car These cars are provided with troughs for feeding and watering on the way, and are run through to their destina' tion without unloading. The car is e divided by partition into two com partments, and they load eight or nine steers in each. The agent of the car claims that they save $ per cent ofthe shrinkage and theytransfer them to market on about half the time. Il this be true, they not only save ir shrinkage, but the cattle being in better condition will sell from A to cent pound more, thus adding from $6 to SIo to the value of the animal

A New Enterprise.

FORT WORTH, Texas, August B. Isaac Dahlman, owner of the great refrigerator works here, returned from New York, and says a, the east all matters connected with aa English syndicate are perfected and work be. gins in September. Messrs. Hill & Beck, two Englishmen, representing the London men who are investigating the capacity of the works and the cattle supply, have made their report to the London concern, which report ~as accepted and the contract closed. Arrangements have been made at Galveston for wharfage, and the first vessel wili arrive there early in Sep. tember for the first cargo.

A Mystery.

How the humIn system ever re- covers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into 1t for the suppositlye re- liet of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would oitener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from ra- tional medication. This medicine IS a searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources. and possessing, 10 consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by the debilltated, dyspeptic and ianguid.

Elder Donegan, in the Baptist churcI

Elder Donegan, in the Baptist church,
Sunday night, to small congregation,
delivered very interesting and instruc-
tive discourse. He referred to Elijah,
who having done wonderful things in the
providence of God, was cowed down by
the threat of wicked women, and in his
cowardice sought solitude and disgrace.
Mr.. Donegan made local applica ton
in the condition of Dodge City. If
we have faith in the future good and
prospects of the town we shall be able
to accomplish all the needed require
ments for the attainment of goodness
and wealth. He urged the Christian
people to 60 to work and put all their
faith and energy in the redemption of
the city. Mr.. Donegan has the faculty
of interesting his hearers. He makes
logical points. apt illustrations and for
cibe statements. He is eloquent as
well as profound. The character of
his future work is not yet fully develop
ed, but be will make Dodge City bis
base of operations, and perform Nus
sionary service in the adjoining towns
and settlements. He is honest and stu
cerc, and does not fail to make the best
of impression upon his audience. Mr..
Doncgan will find large field for his
lators, and we have no doubt in this
field he will make host Of admiring
trends and earnest helpers.

W. T. Foster, Of Abba, Iowa, is con-
tributing weather forecasts to the Leav-
enworth Times. He says:
Within twenty-four hours of sun
down on Tuesday, April LIST, a storm
will pass from west to east over the
the Leavenworth meridian. The heav-
lest of this storm will not strike Leav-
enworth, but will be heavy enough here.
The causes will not be sufficient to
make it destructive storm, but such
as will make the weather unfit for
pleasure parties, marketing, shipping
stock, etc.
IF you have out door business to at
tend to, get through with it on the last
days of March or wait till the 9Th or
9th of April. Not more than half of
the first ten days of April will be fair.
About April 7th will occur another
light storm such as that Of March 26
and 9th, but the heaviest part of it
will come nearer to Leavenworth.
Our forecasts for March 26th were
fully verified as shown by the weather
bureau maps, statement of which will
be published hereafter.
