What the Spring Roundup Is Expected to
Show.
AS the time for the annual spring
roundup" is drawing near, the Montana
Meas Bureau presents, after careful inves-
tigation, the following facts and figures
on the marketable cattle in that state.
This years shipments will reach nearly
10000 head. for all markets, which is
an increase over last year of at least &c.
600 head. The demand for beef is
firm and steady, but stock grow
ers are going to hold firm as to
prices. The average price paid last year
was $685., but there is little prospect that
any cattle will be shipped for a less adj
vance than 75c per hundred and the figure
may reach 81. Cattle are now in fair condi-
ton. Rain has fallen in northern Montana
and started the grass on the ranges, so
that by June / all traces of the severe
winter will have passed away. Figuring
the losses in all stock growing counties
including those since spring has opened,
hes average will come to 10 per cent, which
is not much above the usual percentage of
losses. The ~"round-up' will start later
this yeor than usual, probably by May %.

northern part of the state not until June l..
Want to Bleed Their Royal Husbands.
Advices from Illinois indicate that
a new attempt is on foot from
some mysterious source to revive an
old charge of manslaughter against Tennie
G. Clafln, now Lady Cook. of England.
An indictment was found twenty-six years
ago at Ottawa, Ill.,, charging the lady with
causing the death Of Rebecca Howe by the

cure her of q cancer. The indictment was
stricken from the docket a year later,
but with leave to reinstate the same.'
1t is upon this latter Endorsement
that the enemies of the famous sisters,
born Claain, are now said to be bas-
ing their attempt to revive the indictment.
There were other charges of quackery

porter called upon Lady Cook and in
formed her of the foregoing facts. She ex-
planned that at the time referred to she was
noted as a clairyoyant, though but l6 or II
years old. and the woman came to her fol
treatment. She declined to attempt a
cure, %pronouncing the case hopeless.
The cancer was q frightful one and
plainly incurable. Her mother, Mrs.
Clafin, urged her to make the attempt.
and she passed her hands over the cancer
with some magnetic ointment OF
