CONDITION OF CATTLE.
An Agent of the Government Bureau Gives the
Result of His Investigations.


Result of His Investigations.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 3.-Riehard
Johnson Of the bureau of animal indus
try was il ST. Louis to-day, and to an
Associated Press reporter said:
81 have for the past three months been
travelling through the cattle districts
with the object Of ascertaining what the
condition of range and farm cattle now
is and what improvements have been
made in the grade of stock on the range.
On the whole the result of my examina-
ton was decidedly satisfactory, and the
reports OF two other agents of the bureau
will be of the same character.
In some sections it is not to be denied
that the grade of the cattle has dete-
riorated to a marked degree. This is
especially true of the extreme North
west and the farms east of the Missouri
river. Four or five years ago what are
now known as the Oregon cattle, though
by no means confined to the state Of Ore
gon, were by all odds the best cattle to
be found. They were nearly Invariably
three fourths or five-sixths Durham, ran
high in flesh, weighing 150 to 250 pounds
more than the Montana and Dakota
stock, and their beef was equal to that of
fine Stalled stock. To-day halfbreeds
are in the majority, the beef produced Is
not nearly so fine, and the average
weight of the cattle has fallen off nearly
one hundred pounds. One fact has been
proved beyond doubt, and that is that
NEITHER in cold or dry section of the
country should the Durham be intro
duced.
In the farms of the agricultural dis
tricts of Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa and
Western Missouri farmers are still aiming
to reduce rather than to increase their
holdings. The low price of cattle has
made the industry unremunerative and
the breeders are selling off their cows and
steers and replacing them with horses.
An encouraging change, and one which
moro than compensates for the losses in
other directions, has taken place in the
Southwest. The Texas longhOrn, a lean,
sinewY animal, is being rapidly replaced
by a cross between the Durham and De-
Won, and the average weight of the cat
tie is greater by more than one hundred
pounds than it ever was before.

WASHINGTON, July 8 There ism 4 any
doubt that the Republicans are greatly
alarmed at the prospect of their failure
to carry the new states in the Northwest,
for such failure is of the graYest import
to their party. 1t would mean such a
hopelessly small majority in the next
house that it would be, impossible for
them to unseat Democratic members
whose election viii be contested. Unless
they are reinforced from the new states
last years. victory will to great extent
be barren, and hence every effort will be
made to carry Montana, Washington and
the two Dakotas. They have good cause
to fear, for at last the Democrats have
aroused from their lethargy, and have
begun to put in some active work. Mon
tana Is regarded as
SURELY DEMOCRATIC.
One of the Dakotas may be won
and in Washington they have
more than fighting chance. For the
Democrats to triumph in two OF these
states would hamper the opposition con-
siderabIy The situation calls for the
finest work on both sides, and the
smoothest politicians are getting ready
for the fight. It will be of the Sullivan
Kilrain order and no mistake. Allison,
Cullom, Chandler and Quay have been
in almost daily conference with Harrison
on the subject, and the latter is giving it
more attention, apparently, than the
filling of offices. In the latter matter he
is still going so slow that the murmurs
of the expectant place-seekers have
deepened into a howl. The angriest of
all are the colored men, and they talk
openly of secession from the party to the
Democrats or of going off into
a colored Republican organization of
their own They say that by so
doing they will insure che success of the
extnational Democratic ticket which
wilrteach their white brothers the lesson
that the colored man cannot be ignored
with impunity.

GoLDTHwATTE TEX. July 3.-The ex-

attended with many difficulties, brought
together large assemblage. The heavy
rain prevented hundreds from coming
yesterday. The clouds broke away and
up to 10 clock last night it was clear
and pleasant time was expected. Up
to dark hundreds of people from the sur
rounding country came in. The trains
also brought up 3 good many visitors,
also the Bolton cornet band, who were
met at the depot and, headed by the
band, marched to the public square
where they disbanded. The morn
ing train brought down good
many, but owing to the heavy
rain when,the train passed Brentwood
good many remained at home. st l0:90
the special excursion train from Temple
pulled into the depot with about two
hundred and fifty visitors and veterans,
who were met by three local companies
and marched to the public square, where
they were compelled to disband on ac-
count of the rain, which had been fall
ing for nearly four hours. About l
o'clock the rain ceased, when the people
again assembled and were addressed by
Col Wash Jones, the speaker of the day.
Attorney General II. H. Boone
failed to arrive owing to the continued
rain. Dinner was served with difficulty.
The attendance was estimated at from

ing the hindrances, Goldthwaite aequit-
ted herself nobly in the entertainment of

been introduced by the host down
to dinner. The lady was Of a face

exhibit her talent in that direction
opened the conversation with:
"Let me see; l did not catch your
name when introduced to you in
the drawing-room, just now?"
'sKettle is my name," said the
gentleman, in response.
"Ah! a peculiar name rather
and are you married, may l ask"
"Oh, yes" was his reply.
"Then there is a female Kettle"
she continued; "and are there any
little Kettles, Mr.. Kettle?"
At this continued play on his
name, the gentleman became lit

madam; there are five little Ket-

To Tell q Genuine Diamond.

The following from the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat will be of interest
to our-readers who are frequently
at a loss in the selection of pure
diamonds:
1T doesn't require an expert, ("
said DR.. DeMenil, "to tell whether
diamond is genuine or not. The
test is very simple and can be made
in any place and in a moment. All
you need is piece of paper and a
lead pencil. With the latter make
a small dot on the paper, then look
at it through the diamond. If you
can see but one dot you can depend
upon it that the stone is genuine,
but if the mark is scattered or
shows more than one you will be
perfectly safe in refusing to pay
ten cents for stone that may be
offered you at $500.
