HARD ON THE CATTLE MEN,
They Are Put to Great Expense In Moving
Their Herds From Oklahoma.

They Are Put to Great Expense In Moving
Their Herds From Oklahoma.
Ell RENO, OKLA, Aug. s.-The three
troops of cavalry camped at Enid are pro-
ceeding very slowly towards ejecting the
great herds of cattle that have been grazing
in that vicinity. Summary action on the
part of the soldiers has been DELAYED be-
cause the csttlemen are making all haste
to remove their herds
The orders of Governor Humphrey and of
Governor Seay to the Sheriffs Of the border
counties of Kansas and Oklahoma has
worked hardship upon the cattlemen
which they did not calculate on; necessitat-
ing, az 1t does, the shipment of
their herds by rail. Since Friday
morning the Rock Island has shipped nearly
100 train loads from Enid, Pond Creek and
Birds Point, and Stockman Tuttle said this
morning at Pond Creek there would be
80, 900 head transported to Kansas City by
Tuesday night Some of the herds that
started West from Enid for the Panhandle
were driven back on account Of the intense
heat and will be shipped, the owners claim,
at . considerable loss

them to the belief that only half crop can
be harvested now even under good condi-
tions for the rest Of the season. A continu-
ance of the hot winds for two or three days
will still further reduce the yield. The A.

points in the State on the condition and

A dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,, says:
The crop bulletin issued by the State
Board Of Agriculture shows that, with an
area of 1, 895, 14s acres Of winter wheat, the
average yield per acre throughout the State
was 18 bushels. The total winter crop was

ROME, Aug. 8. Federico, Bishop of
FolIgno, was murdered in o frst-class
railway carriage, between Assist and
Foligno, last evening. Robbery is sup
posed to have been the motive, as 1t was
known he had drawn considerable money
from the bank on Saturday for Southern
trip. Nothing of value was left on the body.
The murderer and his victim had evil
IDENTIFY fought for several minutes, as the
cushions and walls were spattered with

The Bishop held services at Assist YES
terday, and, as he expected to leave
FoligDo for a trip southwark to-day, he
had taken with him considerable sum
OF money which he had drawn from the
bank on Saturday. He lett Assist last
evening with but one other person in the
compartment with him: an undersized man
of heavy build, dressed in black and carry
ing handbag.
A description of the man was at once sent
to all cities and villages which the assassin

From other cities and the towns, where mortality

'tNo; the markings in Mars have never
changed since our first discoveries. Christian
Huyghens was the original discoverer Of the
physical features OF Mars. He was q cele-
brated Holland astronomer who lived in the
seventeenth century, and whose discoveries
were made 240 years ago. There have been

are made in Paris. The trouble is that the
two glasses do not give a pert ly achro-

will be some improvement In making these
glasses 80 that we may get better results.
These Improvements must come before We
can hope to possess better instruments than
those we have.
Some interesting experiments in this

must be solved before we can carry our re-

men, forwarders and grain shippers all agree
that this simply adds little more than half
