The Register in this connection inter
| viewed Messrs. 4. @. Beckwith and A
V. Quinn. large cattle and horse owners
and from them learned they have suffered
untold loss from cate and horse thieves
and have been compelled to remove whaI
stock they have left from their ranches 10
johnson county to their home ranches in
| order to save any OF thom.
These gentlemen state that five years
ago they had $4,000 head OF cattle; that
they have branded 90 an average 1900
head of calves a year; that they have
sold and butchered not to exceed I,7OO
head during this time. and yet their herd
is cut down to less than 5000 head and
at this rate that In less than two years
they will not have a boot left.
About their horses they did not state
the number they had at that time, but
that their herd is less than it was at the
beginning, although they branded on an
average 126 colts per year.
They attribute a large proportion of
their losses to hard winters. just what
per cent cannot be estimated but their
losses by theft have been enormous.
j. e. Chapman, secretary of the Ne
ponset Land and Live Stock company,
was seen, and made the statement that
cattle are being stolen from their herds
steadily. but gave no figures.
Harvey Booth of the Booth & Crocxer
Cattle company. was satisfied that his COM
panv has suffered great loss during the
past few years from stealing, but was not
prepared to make any estimae in regard to
numbers. Much loss has been sustained
by hard winters and lack offeed, and fully
SO per cent, If not more of the deminish-
ment of their herds has been caused by
cattle dying. Mr.. Booth is OF the opinion
that for further protection against the
''rustlers'' the stoekmen should unite and
keep a standing reward of fifteen hundred
or two Thousand dollars for the arrest and
conviction of the thieves. the amount to be
apportioned according to the number Of
head each one Is convicted of stealing.

How the Market Ranged in Chicago
Last Week.

lClay, Robinson L Co.'s Circular, Oct. SOL
The receipts for the week will be about
2O,5O0 head, against 81, 900 head last
week and IA, 900 head for the correspond
ing week last year. Supplies have ex-
ceeded expectations and the quality OF
the arrivals was good.
The market opened slow on Monday,
supplies were liberal and heavy receipts
were III sight for the entire week. Ship
pers took a few good beeves at about
steady prices. but the general market
ruled weak, and values were marked down
ten to fifteen cents per 100 ponds AT
the decline not all the offerings were sold.
Tuesdays market was a repititionof Mon
DAYS. while on Wednesday a still further
reduction was recorded, and values were
the lowest OF the season. Thursdays
receipts were somewhat lighter; the mar
ket ruled slow and a shade lower.
Compared with last week prices are
thirty-fve to fifty cents per 100 pounds
lower. Cows and heifers have been in
good demand and brought steady prices.
The Kohrs & Hogan Montanas, that sold
on Tuesdry at 1923. were the finest
beeves of their kind that have been upon
the market this season, and will fill the
place of native cattle that cost 81 per 100
pounds more. 1t was the highest price
of the week, but was no criterion of the
market; - so per 100 pounds was virtu-
ally the highest price, which was obtained
for 2I8 head OF the Choteau Montanas,
weighing l.346 pounds. The highest
price for the corresponding time last year
was a. Is for Montanas weighing 1857
pounds, belonging to 7. r. Dana.
Another week will about close the sea
son for this class, but should the weather
hold good, more or less beeves will arriv,
up to the 18th of November.
The receipts for the month will reacf
nearly 8 $1,000 head, about $4,000 heac
more than the corresponding time il
1890. For the expired portion of the
year receipts show an increase OF SO, 00
head over last year.
At South Omaha receipts were some
what lighter than last week. Steers and
COWS have brought steady prices, while
feeders, owing to a limited demand, have
sold a shade lower.

the legislation enacted by those legis-

Something About Coal.

It is said that when coal was first used
in England the prejudice against it was
so strong that the House of Commons
petitioned the King to prohibit the use
of the "noxious" fuel. A royal procla-
nation having failed to abate the nuis-
ance, commission was issued to ascer-
tain who burned coal within the city of
London and its neighborhood, to punish
them by force for the first offense, and
by the demolition of their furnaces if
they persisted in transgressing. A law
was finally passed making it capital
offense to burn coal in the city, and only
permitting it to be used by forges in the
vicinity. It is stated that among the
records in the Tower of London docu-
ment was found according to which
a man was hung in the time of Edward
1. for no other crime than having been
caught burning coal 1t took three
centuries to entirely efface the prejudice.

Race Changes.

Professor George Barbour, in his work
on the resources of Florida, describes
the strange race of bipeds which isola-
ton and abnormal climatic influences
have developed on the border of the
tropics, in the next neighborhood of en-
terprising Yankee-ike communities.
But it is not possible that those COM
munities, too, will by and by experience
the influence of winterless climate2
Thus far their energy has been sustained
by constant influx of Northern immi-
grants, but that influx will cease after
the population of the North and South
has reached the equilibrium of its DIS
tribution, and the ''cracker" of the hum
mocks will then come to form the type
of new race. Strange metamorphoscs
have happened in Southern Europe, and
only the incontrovertible testimony of
historical records can persuade an eth.
nologist to recognize the present in
habitants of Sicily as the direct descend
ants of athletic Grecian colonists and of
the heroic Normans who followed Robert
Guiscard across the Strait Of Jfcssina.--

A Mexican Farm.

'sOn one farm in Mexico I saw enough
of the luxuries of life produced to make
any man Happy" remarked G. F. Wood,
of Ell Paso, Texas. ''The farm was not
large as some farms go in Mexico,it was,
to use slang phrases sumner don't
think the mind of man could imagine
vegetable product that could not be pro-
duced on that farm. At any rate saw
growing there coffee, sugar, rice,potatoes,
rye, wheat. oats, corn, berries, cabbage,
tomatoes, apples, bananas, cocoa, figs,
cochineal, and dozen other products.
On the upper end of this farm you could
find gold, silver, sapphires, onyx, and
other precions stones. Some of these
articles we're not produced in quantities
large enough to pay to market them, but
they were all found there, and all at the
service of the owner of the land. Oh,
suppose the farm contained 10,O 900 or
10000 acres Of land, but it extended
through all temperatures and all eleva-
tions. ."-Kansas City Times.

Manhood.

On the large islands in the delta of the
Amazon River there are banana gardens
which have continued to produce enor-
nous crops for nearly hundred successive
years, tho ,gh the cultivators never use
any kind of fertilizers or think it neces-
sary to practice irrigation, or rotation of
crops. Two hundred bushels of fruit
per acre is considered only a moderate
yield, while on the Irish potato farms in
cessant toll and the use of all available
fertilizers fails to insure the tenth part
of that produce, and too often even fails
to prevent complete degeneration of the
plant of which millions have staked
their hope of survival. 1t is true that
the potato is not indigenous to the soil
of the British Islands, but would 1t be
possible to substitute any perfectly re-
liable od-plant, and might it not, after
all, be the best plan to adopt Paul
Courier's suggestion to devote the colder
ATTITUDES to pastures and factories and
raise our field crops in the tropics9-

How She Impressed It on His Mind.

Have our readers ever tried to remind
themselves to attend to something of i'm
portance by tying knot in their hand
kerchiefs and then when they came to
take it out, racked their brains in vain
to recollect what the knot was intended
to recall to them2 The housewife in the
subioined anecdote was evidently de-
termincd to take no chances in the mat
ter.
A wife recently gave her husband
sealed letter, begging him not to open 1t
till he reached his place of business.
When he did so he read:
81 am forced to tell you something
that know will trouble you, but it is
my duty to do so. am determined you
shall know, let the result be what it may.
1 have known for a week that it was
coming, but kept it to myself until to-
day, when it has reached crisis, and
I cannot keep it any longer. You must
not censure me too harshly, for you
must reap the results as we'll as myself.
l do hope it won't crush you"
By this time cold perspiration stood on
the husbands forehead with the fear of
some terrible unknown calamity. He
turned the page, his hair slowly rising,
and read:
"The coal is oil used up! Please call
and ask for some to be sent this after
noon. l thought by this method you
would not forget it."
He didn't.

provingly.
"since that is your view, if you like,
we will marry each other"
After the roast chicken and pork, and
the coffee and sugar, Brigitte expected to
hear almost any strange thing on the
part of her master. But that Oh, not
thatl
"You are joking me, master!"
"Not at ALL" answered the old peas
ant. He explained that he was growing
old, was without children or family, and
did not wish to die alone like dog. Be-
side he was grateful He could not for
get that Brigitte had saved his life-his
faithful Brigitte. One must not be for
getful of such service.
Finally, the worthy woman, whose
head was turned by this stroke of good
fortune, believed in his sincerity. She, a
humble servant, marry her master9
Think of it! 1t was, indeed, something
to turn ones brain.
The bans were published, and the
marriage followed. The couple were
greeted at the church by the good ma.
tured smiles of the whole village.
After the ceremony the new husband
hurriedly conducted his wife home.
Having crossed the threshold, he
hastily demanded in joyful voice,
while energetically rubbing his hands:
"Brigitte, my girl, where have yot
put your ticket9"
"What ticket9"
"Your lottery ticket, No. 349"
"What lottery2"
"vou know very well," he cried, i'm.

The Indian Witch Dance.

The Indian witch, or medicine dance
is very different from the performances
before described. 1t is really weird
affair, and almost as difficult to vitnes,
as the celebrations that New England
witches were said to indulge in in the
olden time. Unjust have some religion,
meaning, although the writer was never
able to get exactly at what the meaning
was. The medicine men of the Sioux dc
not seek publicity in their incantations,
and it was entirely by chance that
came across three Indians going through
some peculiar operations, at point re-
mote from their camp. A stick about
three feet in height was stuck in the
ground, and from 1t hung out in the
breeze long haired scalp. The hair
was dark, and looking on from short
distance l could not tell whether the
scalp was that of white woman or an
Indian. 1t might have been either. The
three Indians were leaping and gesturins
and at intervals mumbling something,
not song apparently, but disconnected
words. Occasionally they would point
toward the scalp. Then they would
humble again and jump about. They
were not painted, and their attire was
different from that of the ordinary
braves. They noticed me, and, while
they made no demonstration of hostility,
their expression meant plainly that they
would rather be left alone. The shades
of evening were falling on prairie and
hill and river. The Missouri stretched
like a mighty serpent below, its yellow
waters tinctu:ed with aruddy stain by
the final CLEAN of the setting sun, and
here on this hill, away from the painted
tents and the silent cottonwood, these
children of nature were enacting their
strange enchantment to move in some
way that supernatural power which
seemed to have deserted the Indian race.
With eerie feelings I withdrew, leaving
them to their superstitution, and
conscious that perhaps its parallel might
be found among more enlightened
nations. Chicago Herald.

A TWILIGHT STORY.

"Auntie, will you tell story" said my little
niece of three,
As the early winter twilight fell around us
silently,
So answered to her pleading: "Once, when
was very small,
With my papa and my mamma I went out to
make call;
And lady, pleased to see us, gave me quite
large bouquet,
Which carried homeward proudly, smiling
all along the way.
'Soon met two other children, clad in rags
and sad Of face,
Who grew strangely, wildly joyous as
neared their standing-place.
Twas so good to see the flowers! Give us
one-oh, onep they cried.
But / passed them without speaking; left
them with their wish denied.
Yet the mem'ry of their asking haunted me
by night and day.
Give us onep heard them saying, even in
my mirthful play.
"Still I mourn, because in childhood I re-
fused to give a flower;
Did not make those others happy when ] had
it in my power"
Suddenly ceased my story. Tears were in
my niece's eyes
Tears of tenderness and pity-while she
planned a sweet surprise:
'I will send flower tomorrow to those little
children dear"
Could tell her that their childhood had
been gone this many year?
