w. II. Embry was down from kansa
City, last week, looking after a buncl
of cattle he is having fed in the south
west part of the county. He is of tn
opinion that there is bright day com
ing for the cattle owners, as there is
| disposition now to make cattle fat ant
ripe before shipping them to market
and the immense corn crop of Kansa
making this possible. He says tina
there are few stockerS and feeders TO
sale anywhere in the country, and the
are getting scarcer. He also says tina
| for years the estimates of the numbe
of cattle on the ranges have been to-
| large, and capital will soon learn tina
| there is no safer investment than il
cattle. He thinks that the cattle vii
be generally off of the Strip by next DC
tober, and the counties along the Tel
ritory line will then have much NOR
feeding to do.
n. B. Blanton delivered lecture a
the courthouse, last Friday night, to
large audience. He expects TO delive
a series of lectures as soon as the wealth

death people lie in the grave till the da
of judgment. Then those who kneV
what is right and wrong, shall be resul
rected. Those who have done right
will then be clothed with immortality
Those who have done evil will underg
a second death and that is the last c
them. Idiots and heathen are not to b
resurrected at all. There is no immol
tality in man until he is resurrected an
clothed, and as God VIII not clOthe tn
wicked, there is no need of hell. MI
Blanton is a rapid, vigorous talker, an
seems to be remarkably well posted L
the bible. lie believes every word L
the bible, but has new cOnstructlo
for the passages relating to hell. Whe
he comes again he Will have a crowde
house.
