The circus did not come last Satur.
day as advertised for the reason,as re-
ported that some hard hearted creditor
at Kansas City attached the concern

The people Of southern Kansas are
suffering heavy loss by hog cholera and
will ask the state authorities to lend
gld in discovering a remedy This dis
ease prevails all over the middle and
southern states, at all timss, bpt there
seems no reason Why it may not be

Tom Ballard, who recently moved
his stock of merchandise from Echo to

What taman can DO towards keeping |
cattle up, in shipping, is shown by re.
suits. Three trains were brought up I
from southern Texas last spring by I
three different men. In one train
there we're thirty dead cattle, in another
twenty eight and in the other, none.
The man who had charge Of the latter
has no trouble in getting SiS trip for
taking cattle to St. Louis, while there
are plenty who will go for nothing.
