ROUND.UPS.
Cattle in Kansas Being Rushed to Mar
ket on Account of the Drouth.
Government agents Meet with Difficulty In
Getting Range Cattle statistics-Gen-
erai Cattle News.

A private letter from Greenwood
county, Kan, gives a gloomy account
OF agricultural conditions there, and
both farmers and stockmen are despond-
ent over the outlook. Greenwood
county, strictly speaking, is a stock
county where thousands of head of beef
cattle are fed every year, but there is
large acreage given up to corn raising.
This year the protracted drouth has rem
dered the corn crop an absolute failure,
and to make matters worse, water is now
getting scarce there. These conditions
are not confined TO the one comfy in
Kansas, but from all over the state and
down INTO the Indian Territory comes the
same complaint-''Nor ram, corn crop q
failure aud water getting scarce.
One of the results of this, says the let
ter referred to, is that stockmen without
regard to the condition of their cattle.
IRE shipping them to market as fast as
they can, it being evident that they can
not afford to hold them over until spring
ut the prices corn is bound to command
in view of the short crop.
As it is in Kansas, so il is in other
feeding states. The corn crops are fail
ures, and poor cattle are Icing rushed to
market by the thousands, as is evidenced
by the enormous receipts at Chicago and
other points. Is it any wonder, then,
that prices have been so low for weeks
past, and is there any hope that they
will be any better as long as the rush Of
poor cattle 10 the markets continues?
There is a lesson in all this that Texas
cattlemen should study well and profit
by. There will be no money to them in
shipping cattle now, and as the rush
from Kansas, the Territory and other
sections will be so great as to create an
inevitable shortage in the spring, 1t
would be well If the movement from
Texas could be stopped short right
now. Texas can carry her cattle
over with less trouble than any
other section. It is true that in
parts of the state the dry weather has
impaired the range but in the Panhandle,
in portions of the west and in the south
ern portions OF the state good seasonable
rains have fallen, crops are good and the
grass still in fair conditlon-good enough
to carry cattle through in first-rals
shape if rains come again in q few weeks.
In this Immediate vicinity the crops hive
failed, but when compared with other
sections where rains have been seasonal
Die the dry belt amounts to but little.
To rush cattle 10 market now means q
loss; to mold them until there will be a
demand Tor them Gin the spring. means q
profit to those who have foresight enough
to hold them. Dropping prices, as q
general thing, creates stampede among
Shippers when it is well known that 1t is
foolish to ship cattle on a falling market,
especially if the cattle can be held. The
man who has cattle to-day and will hold
them until the decentralization is over Is
the man who will reap the benefits.

Hogs for Mexico.

AS an evidence of what kind OF trade
farmers would give their attention to hog
raising the business alone in that line
at Kansas City is given: The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas during the month of
July took 155 double declled cars of hogs
for the City of Mexico. Kansas City has
q large trade in hogs in the sister repub-
lie, where they are slaughtered. The
customs charges are very light, $40 Gov
ering them on q single car, including
brokers' fees at Eagle Pass. On two
cars the charge is SIG, and on additional
cars 81 eRch.

Cattle Dying in Ncexico.

Stoekmeu in northern Mexico are con-
siderably discouraged over the loss
of cattle suffered during the past
few weeks. The season has been an I'M
usually hot and dry one, and the results
have been very disastrous TO those stock
men who have been depending upon the
summer feed TO carry them through.
Hundreds of head haYe died and thous-
ands more will perish unless the rain
comes soon. Water is scarce as well as
feed, which makes the situation much
worse, as the stock have TO range off for
miles in search of food. and then come
oil the way back to drink. The ques-
ton of moving the cattle Is now an i'm
practicable one, as they are too poor aud
weak to stand the extra travel.

Agents on Account of Iii Founded Suspicious
Meet With Many Difficulties.
The department of the interior, in or
der to secure reliable figures as to the
number OF range cattle in the United
States. appointed special agent for that
purpose, who was vested with
authority to appoint sub-agents
assigning to them certain
territory in which to work. These SUBJ
agents have now been at work for some
time, but in some localities have met
with considerable trouble on account of
cattlemen declining to give information
as to the number of cattle they own.
Cattlemen appear to believe that the
government has a sinister motive behind
this movement. and for that reason
withhold information that when made
public in general report will be valua-
bic to every cattleman in the country.
In view of these troubles met by the
special agents the department has issued
the following circular by which stockmen
will see that they have nothing to lose by
giving the fullest information as 10 the
number of cattle they own.

White-House Improvements.


IT has been reported that the new fur
nishings Of the Blue Room in the White
House cost Sl2, 900. That is mistake,
us the entire appropriation for the year
was but S25. 900, and all the refurnishing,
cleaning, and repairs that have been done
during the past year were paid for out OF
that sum, and there isstill enough money
remaining to pay the expenses of run
ming the Executive Mansion to the end
of the fiscal year. The decorators left the
Blue Room late on Saturday afternoon. 1t
was quite dark when the last step-ladders
were carried out Of it, and to-day the
workmen are employed upon the electric
wires that are to light the room. The
state reoeption-room has been rendered
q most harmonious and beautiful apart
ment through the painstaking care OF
| Mrs. Harrison in giving her personal
attention and supervision to every de-
tail of it. The scheme Of color is based
| upon blue, which is relieved by golden
bands and lines and the pure white OF
the lace curtains. The silken tapestry that
lines the oval wall was woven in Patter-
son, N. j., from a special design ap-
| proved by Mrs. Harrison, and 1t Is IN "A
continental pattern. The same pattern
| is used in the dado, and in the irleze the
color is relieved by festoons of gold IN
Louis XVI. suggestions. The ceiling
Is done in cloud effect Dor
dered with the emblems in gold OF the
| United States. The curtains at the win
dows are in the same shade as the hang
ings. They are lined with pale yellow
silk and edged with "a tasselled silker
fringe. Each window is hung with tw1
straight scarfs of the brocade on either
side and between are two gracefully
curving festoons reaching about one
fourth the length of the sash
The sofas and the chairs, the
ottomans and the central round
iivan have all been newly upholstered
with handsome embossed silk-plush il

newly eilded. The carpet is On excellent
wearing quality of Wilton, and is in q
quiet pattern of two shades Of pale blue
The curtains are hung below the yentila
tors, which are to give plenty OF air when
the room shall be crowded on leyee-days.
