Livestock Notes.

A cattle salesman sold some cattle this
| week at Chicago averaging nearly 1900
| pounds at 81. 40, that were 81. 50 lower than
the same class of cattle sold a year ago,
when the price was 1886.
W. P. Tamblyn and NJ. P. Buel, leading
livestock commission men Of Chicago, are
in the city, with their wi yes.

Iowa sheepraisers are making consider&
bic effort to have the present legislatkre
enact law similar to that of KapSass %
prevent the disease of scab spreading
among their fioclIs. The danger to be feared
is the invasion of diseased sheep from other
states.
The Sioux City sheep company which
has carried about five thousand sheep
through the winter at the old Central yards,
report the loss of only about one hundred
head during the winter, caused by over
feeding and overcrowding the pens. They
are now in good condition and getting along
nicely.
The weather seems to have knocked out
cattle shipments in regular Sullivan style,
and the men at the various StOcky ards In
this city have a hard time of it passing
away the hours that hang heavily on their
hands, and cursing the luck that will crowd
the shipments of cattle on them in a short
time in such a manner that they won't find
time to wink.
S. Fl. Montgomery, an extensive ranchs'
man of Tom Green county, is in the city.
He has a large number of cattle feeding in
I,
his stock up there. He reports cattle as
being in fine shape on the Concho.
Capt. John knight of Palo Pinto is in the
city. The captain reports cattle as having
wintered in first-class shape in his country,
with no loss worth mentioning, and says
grass is sprouting finely.
j. w Barbee, livestock agent of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, is in from trip
to Brownwood.
Capt Sam Hunt, general livestock agent
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, has re-
turned, and can be found at his headquar-
tiers.
T. c. Andrews Of the firm of Andrews s.
Graham has just returned from trip to
Archer, Clay and King counties, where he
has been looking for steers. He says cat
tie are in fair con iition, and that grass is
rather backward, but says there is lots of
old grass on the ground, and in his opinion
that country furnishes the best grass and
more of it than any country he has ever
seen.
L. W. Marks, a prominent cattleman of
the B. /. T., is in the city He is on his
way South to secure several thousand
sseszs for pasturage in the country around
evfnlta.
C. w. Merchant, the well-known live
stock man of Abilene, is registered at the
Mansion. Mr.. Merchant has bought sew
eral thousand cattle which he will feed in
the Indian Territory.

State and Court streets, were lined with
taverns, dwellings,, marts and offices Of

There were many quaint old hooks
and corners, taverns and " coffee houses, z
the drinking vessels in the latter not
being especially adapted for that bever-
age. On the site Of Park street Church
stood the granary, and between the foot Of
Park street and Beacon street stood the
workhouse, the poorhouse and the Bride

The old Hancock mansion on Beacon
street, which was built in 1881, was

away there is little left now that the

preservation Of the elephant.


r The number of elephants killed for the
sake of their ivory is every year becom-
ing larger in proportion to the number
Of existing animals, and at the present
rate of slaughter the main source of the
ivory supply win soon become extinct. An
English naturalist has put forward a
suggestion with view to meeting this
contingency He says that rich man
who desires to attain an interesting re.
suit in the province of natural history
and is willing to prevent ivory from be-
coming lost commodity, might do
worse with his money than introduce the
elephant into Equatorial South America
In the country watered by the Amazon
and its tributaries there is an enormous
iield unpopulated enough for its quiet
increase and suitable for its healthy, life
OF course, it would take many years to
get up = herd . of elephants, but it
should not be forgotten that both the
horse and the OK tribes are imports into
South America. and they areInow more
plentiful there than in the countries they
came from.
