THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
HEAVY LOSSES ON THE RANGES
BY THE COLD.
Stock Raj ers In Kansas Seriously
Crippled-The Losses Ia
Texas.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, February I3.-Ac-
cording TO a morning paper it does not
appear that the cat IL losses the pres
ent winter in Tex4e, Kansas, Colorado,
Dakota and Wyoming have been
heavy. The repo Is from Texas show
losses OF per cent. From Kansas the
number frozen during the fearful biz
zsrd is put a 5000, instead OF ! 00, 900,
as has been stated hereto tire. In
Colorado the. losses are no. over , per
cent, and in Wyoming per cent.
THE ADvICEs FROM TEXAS
say the only section thai reports any
considerable loss in the State is in the
northern tier Of the Panhandle toun-
ties, where the feed was meager, ow-
ing to prairie fires last autumn. The
most serious Losses reported are en-
ranges south of Mobetle and Fort
Elliott. The loss was put at 80 per
cent. Investigation brings it down 10
80 per cent. as the greatest possible
loss.
KANSAS DISPATCHES
say, in regard to the losses there, that
as a rule the greatest losses occurred
on the sm Doth ice over the streams,
and where the cattle driited against
the wire fences. There is no denying
the fact tina! the cattle industry has
been crippled in the western part OF
Kansas, but with favorable conditions
the recovery will be rapid. All re-
poitlshow that the native cattle are
in bMsr condition than the grade
cattle.
IN COLORADO,
in some OF the mountain parks, there
is still danger OF great losses. AS the
ranges were overstocked and feed has
become scarce. The snow still lies
deep on the grass and it is almost i'm
possible to transport sufficient hay for
stock. This state of affairs threatens
TO cause numerous losses TO individual
stockmen, but it applies only TO isolst-
ed cases where there has not been suf-
ficient time to accumulate feed.
THE WYOMING
advices are that the cattle in the Ter
ritory never experienced a better win
ter. No snow has fallen to the depth
Of more than one inch, aud did not
last two days at a time. None has
fallen since January 1st. Cattle are
latter than ever known at this season
and are fit for shipment. The warm
weather has kept the streams open.
1t is expected that from the fine con.
dition of the cows the percentage of
calves will be above any previous
year. Along the Platte river for three
weeks the mercury ranged go 10 700
above. The losses were insignificant,
not exceeding one per cent.

THE WELCOME BACK.

Sweet is the hour that brings US home,
Where all will spring to meet us,
Where hands are striving as we come
TO be the first TO greet us.
When the world has spent its frowns ant
wrath
And care been sorely pressing,
It's sweet to turn from our rowing path
And find a Preside blessing.
All, joyful dear is the homeward track,
II we are but sure of a welcome back
What do we reck on n dreary way,
Though lonely and benighted,
If we know there are lips TO chide our stay
And eyes that will beam lOye-lighted?
What is the worth Of your diamond ray
To the glance that hashas pleasure,
When the words that welcome back betray
We form a hearts chief treasure?
Oh, joyful dear is our homeward track,
II we are but sure of welcome back

A STATEMENT
OF Facts for the Publ
to Consider. 4
ATLANTA, GA, January 81, 1s

Emerging from a severe and
spell of typhoid fever, l discov4
that the fever had settled in my rig
leg, which caused it to swell to an
enormous size, remaining so quite
three years, resisting all treatment.
A small ulcer finally made its appear
ance little above the ankle, which
refused to heal to any and all ex-ter-
nal application and the use Of the
most noted blood poison remedies.
The ulcer continued to enlarge,
frequently discharging, perhaps, as
much as cupful of pus or matter
per day. The size of the ulcer was
about two inches in diameter, ex-
tending to a depth near the bone.
At one time it appeared that the
flesh in all contiguous parts would
surely become a running sore, as its
peculiarly fsbby, spotted and I'M
healthy condition clearly indicated,
and lit was eliminated that l might
lose my leg. My condition becoming
so critical, and the ulcer enlarging
SO rapidly, we sent for DR.. j. p.
Dromgoole, who made a thorough
examination, and said that the flesh
on my leg for six inches around the
sore would soon slough off if not
remedied; that l must have my leg
bandaged daily and commence the
use of B. B. b.
1 acted according to his instruc-
tons, and after using the second bot
tie the ulcer looked fresh and healthy
and commenced healing. l continued
the use OF B. B. B., aud to the great
astoaishment and satisfaction OF my
self and friends, the ulcer continued
to heal rapidly and is now entirely
well, and l am attending to my bust
ness at W. II. Brotherton's store. L
do not hesitate tn recommend B. B. B.
as a wonderful, speedy and effectual
blood purifier, far superior to anything

A STRANGE AFFAIR.
Narrow Escape of a Young Lady
From Hanging.

NATION, ILL, February 13.-Lsst
night at 10 o'clock at Windsor, H.,
Miss Georgia Aldridge narrowly es-
capped hanging at the hands of I'M
known parties. She was alone in the
house at the time and stepped out Of
doors, when she was seized, her hands
and feet weighted down with bricks
and then she was hung up to die. She
was accidentally discovered a few
minutes afterwaId by her brother, who
came in the back way by chance.
Life was almost extinct. She can give
no account of the affair, being so over
come by the shock. She can only say,
"Oh, that man, that man." A note
was found saying that it was done to
get even with her father, DR.. Aldridge.
Miss Georgia is a highly respected
young lady, aged twenty.four. No
Clew to the perpetIa ors OF the foul
deed has yet been found. Intense ex-
element prevails at Windsor, and If
the guilty party is found he will be
dealt with in summary manner.
