ADVERTISE YOUR BRANDS.

Many ! stock owner has saved many times over the expense of advertising his brand by the return to hun ot an finals lost, strayed, or stolen or by in- formation which lead to their recov- cry. It is a mistake to think that brands advertised are glanced at care lessly and thrown aside, on the con trary we know that they are carefully scanned and commented on by all stockmen, and many of them, when they ride the ranges. either carry a copy of the brands with them or con- suit one on their return home when they have seen a strange brand. Cat tie and horses are sure to stray more or less in every range country, and the saving of only one animal will pay for advertising your brand for several years. We have horse and cattle cuts always on hand, on which your brands and ear ear marks can be distinctly and faithfully presented, and will publish them with proper reading matter at very low rates.

St. Lsuis Stock Yards.

The scheme initiated by the range cattlemen to establish large stock yards at St. Louis is becoming very popular in the west, and is aimed as a direct blow at the monopoly existing between the stock yards and dressed beef men of Chicago. AS at present organized the St. Louis yards will be controlled by the rangemen, and their success depends upon the extent to which these men keep themselve. sloof from and independent of tkc dressed beef monopolies. The idea as conceived is full of promise for the rangemen, as is will bring them in closer relations with the consumers, and they can exercise concentrated influence on the railroads and middle men which has heretofore been dis s,pated through want of concert of action.

HORSE OWNERS ATTENTION,

A board of army officers will meet here at Flagstaff on December 5th, 1886, to inspect such horses as may be offered with the vie~ of purchasin g he same for cavalry service. About I4o horses arc required To save our ncrsemen from bringing in horses unsuitable for the service, We give a description of the kind of animals de- sired.
 "To be geldings, of hardy color, sound in all particulars, in good con- dition, we'll broken to the saddle, from fifteen to sixteen hands high, not less than five nor more than nine years old, and suitable in every res pect for cavalry service. Minimum weight nine hundred and fifty (oso) pounds. ."
 It speaking ot the cause of rejecting some horses offered in the southern part of the territory, veterinary sur . scon, who usually accompanies the examining board, said:
 Many horses which have been re- jected were perfect in every way ex- cept that they were rather long in the back for cavalry use. though that quality adds to their value for buggy or draught purposes. The weight to be carried by cavalry horse is com puted at 775 pounds, though it ire Quently averages over that figure, and for carrying this weight, short-cou. pied horse is the most enduring"
 This is g point that should also be considered by our horsemen.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Bloody Tragedy at Albuquerque New
 Mexico.


 Last Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, City Marshal Mcclure and Policeman Henry, of Albuquerque, having the necessary warrants, went to the house of a Mexican woman to arrest two desperadoes and horse thieves, known as Charles Ross and "Kid" Johnson.
 When the officers burst open the door the two men began firing cn them with revolvers, officer Henry being shot through the heart and in- stantly killed, and Marshal Mcclure receiving three wounds, one of them in the right side, considered serious. The lamp was extingulshed at the first fire and in the darkness and confusion the two desperadoes made their es- cape, mounted their horses an d fled to the country.
 Rewards amounting to $7oo were at once offered for their capture and parties of mounted men immediately staried in pursuit. AtII o'clock next morning Ross was arrested in the house of negro woman Tn one of the lowest portions of the city, and was found to be badly wounded in the left shoulder, the ball having ranged downward aud come out on the left side. He says that the officers began shooting the instant they entered the room and that he only fired after be- ing shot twice. He shows two scalp wounds besides the one in the shoul- der.
 There was intense excitement in the city wten the news ocean: known and lynching was loudly talked or, but no determined effort was made to lake the prisoner from the hands of the law. "Kid" Johnson has no, been captured, nor is there any clue to his whereabouts. The funeral of the murdered officer took place on Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended. Marshal Mcclure has been getting worse daily, and the only hope for his recovery is his powerful con. lstitutlon.

BANCROFT'S HISTORIES.

Volume XIX of Hubert Howe Ban- croft's histories of the Pacific Coast continues the story of the settlement of California from 'he beginning of this century to the year 1924, giving the progress of the various colonies already established, their nationalities, rulers, internal management and asri. cultural and industrial pursuits. The most important episode of this period was the establishment of the indep-n- dence of Mexico from the Spanish crown, by which California quietly passed under republican rule. The vast amount of information Mir Ban. croft has gathered concerning the highly interesting, though rather un- eventful period treated of in this vol ume, and the authorities quoted by him for every assertion he makes, show the length of time and deep re- search he has devoted to this subject. At no time is the narrative dull, and no one who has the time to read or the means to buy this valuable series of histories should be without them.

DEATA Of EX-PKEsIDENr CHESTER
 A. ARTHUR.

EN' IIcSlucHt OuCStCT H. hIthui died at his residence, I23 Lexington avenue, New York city, at 5 o'clock on Thursday morning the 18th inst. from a stroke of cerebral apoplexy, several blood vessels having burst in the brain. His attendant left him at about midnight on Tuesday. appar- cn,ly better than usual, and next morning found him unconscious and breathing heavily.
 He did not recover consciousness nor did he speak again until he breathed lis last. His family and his physicians surrounded his death bed. He passed away without a struggle peacefully, painlessly. The reports that his health had greatly improved by hts summer residence at New Lon don, Conn.,, were exaggerated, and his physicians nov say they were ex- pecting the stroke which finally caused his death.
 Mir. Arthur was born in Fairfield !, Franklin Co.,, Vermont, Oct. 5. IS3o , and consequently was s6 years of age at the time of his death. His parents were poor, and ne taught school to pay his expenses through college. He became a successful lawyer in New York city, but at the breaking out of the war he was appointed on the mil i;ary staff of the governor of the state and superintended the enlistment, equipment and transportation of hun. dreds of thousands of men for the field.
 In 1871 he was appointed Collector of the Port of New York by President Grant, and held the office for nearly seven years.
 He was elected Vice President in 1880. and succeeded to :he Presidency on the death of Garfield, Sept. I9 1881. He married Ellen, the daugh ter ot the gallant Captain Herndon, who went down in the ill-fated steam ship Central America, which was los in the Gulf of Mexico. He had two children, Chester A, 72 years oi age and Nellie, I4 years, his wife havin: died in 1879.
 His administration was not marked by any startling events or brlllian strokes of policy, yet it was firm, dig nifed and able, and he bore his hon ors with less assumption and nor hearty hospitablc simplicity than ma ny. of his predecessors in that exalted position. His friends ever found hir kindly, genial, upright gentleman His funeral took place on the s1d inst, at Albany, N. Y., where his re mains were inferred in the Rura Cemetery, in the presence of grea concourse of friends consisting c many members of his cabinet, tn high diynitaries of state and militar and civic societies.

The First Keen Iwtpss.

As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known, are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hoods Sarsaparllla is a specific for rheumatism-we doubt if there Is, or can be, such remedy. But the thou. sands benefited by Hoods Sarsapa- rilla, warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take 1t be. fore tho first keen twiuge.

IT was supposed that the effect of the oleomargerine law, which went into operation on the Ist instant, would be to cause an immense decline In the manufacture and sale of that article, on account of the supposed almost Irohibltory tax placed upon It 1; but such IS not the case, to the sur prise not only of the dairy men, bu, of the revenue department. The mum. her of stamps demanded far exceeds the widest calculations of the officers, and the amount ot the article sold is unprecedented. It seems that the peo. pie in their ignorance have imagined that the nice new government stamps on the packages are guarantee that the contents have been officially ex- amined and have been found perfect ly pure and rticularly good, while they know that ordinary butter is open to suspicion. Thus the very ob- ject of the tax is defeated, and the oleomargerine is eagerly bought by the people under the impression that it has governmental sanction, and the dealers in il arc culiivating the idea. This singular and unexpected result would have its comical side were it not for the seriousness of the subject and the farmers and dairy men are at their wits end how to remedy the evil. They drew the law themselves ard i, was through their untring efforts, and in their interest it was passed. In their disappointment and evaporation they propose to appeal asain to congress. But what can they ask for1 They got all they wanted, and are still dissatisfied, Their pres ent position is indeed deplorable and only further demonstrates that "The best laid plans of mice and mea gang Aii szee.''

 THE oleomargerine law went into effect on the ist inst, and the inter- nal revenue bureau has completed all arrangements necessary for its en forcement. The demand tor stamps has been great, and the indications are that large amount of the commodity will be out for the market. The pro. ductlon of the oleomargerine for do- nestle consumption is estimated by Commissioner Miller at the rate Of 100 ooo, 900 pounds year, and the amount exported is also believed to be very large.
