steers were sentenced to death dur
ing the day. The slaughter began
at O'Clock, was interrupted half
hour at noon and ended at $50
o'clock The average was five steers
slaughtered every minute. No pack
ing house in the world has ever kill.
ed the same number of cattle in the
same time.
This will be great week in tie

in Kansas City, the record of cattle
killed reaching 16,S49 For the first
eighteen working days Of October

and the record for the month will
reach $4,000, being the largest num-
Der of cattle ever killed at one pack

and would require pasture twenty
miles long and fifteen miles wide.
This will be great year of killing

pasture to maintain the number of
cattle that will be killed this year.

Probably the most pathetic Incl

of Mrs. C. ". Van Dusen. She had
been pinned in the wreck, bnt was

among cattle. II will be remem.
bered that the Oklahoma expert
ment station issued a special bull
letin on this subject last year In
II the director recommended the
use Of the Kerosene emulsion to be
sprayed upon the cattle, They
are now using on the cattle at the
station an emulsion made by dis
solving three ounces soap in three
pints Of water and adding one and
one.half pints kerosene. The mix.
ture is agItated until an emulsion
is formed, and is then diluted to
make three gallons. When this
is sprayed upon the cattle it keeps

The mass convention held at
Carey's Ferry Monday was a very
successful and satisfactory move
on the part of the Independent
voters of Delaware district. The
ticket nominated is without doubt
the most popular one ever nomi-
mated in the district. The utmost
harmony prevailed, and the con-
vention was composed of good
substantial citizens from all parts
of the district. This ticket ought
to, and will, we think, sweep the
district, and every man who has
the welfare of the country at heart
should turn out and work for the
success of the ticket.

Between the Devn ana the Deep
qaa y


This seems to be our condition
just now. Turn as we may in the
search for some way of escape, and
we are confronted by the same
troubles and unpleasant results.
Alike Appearances make up an en-
vironment of menacing disaster
and we are in the midst Of unfriend-
ly alternatives from which to make
a selection. Our situation is not
much dissimilar to a scorpion sur
rounded with a flame, which to es-
cape torture stings itself to death.
This is indeed a gloomy picture,
but is nevertheless true, looked at
from the Indians standpoint, but
as presaging his deliverance, as
may be held by many, from the
error of his ways and mistaken
habits of untold centuries.
Nations, like individual persons,
especially those like ours, are not
always chosers of their own desti-
nies. Circumstances control both,
and often force them into a choice
OF disagreeable alternatives. This
seems to be our situation Just now
driven and forced to take some
unprecedente1 ! step in the history
of our nation. This may be not
now, but that in the near future
the people of this nation will be
called on to consider unpleasant
demands and to make unpleasant
concessions, no one who can read
the signs of the times and knows
our affairs just as they are can
have the least doubt.
Our present trouble is our finan-
cial condition which is gradually
increasing. We are in debt. Our
nations paper is heavily dis
counted. There is no relief in
preparation and there is no finan-
cier who is seemingly willing to
sacrifice himself to the public in
terest and be called fool for his
pains.
Truly we are "between the devil
and the deep sea, national bank
ruptcy on one side and a seemingly
endless outlook of troubles on the
other.-Courier.
