Stock Outlook Not Bright.

Stock Outlook Not Bright.
Stockmen all over the west are closely
watching the prospects for cattle, saTs
the Denver Republican Of the 25th inst.
At present rns prices are yery iow sna
the outlook for this industry in tho fu-
ture is ANYTHING but encouraging. Stock
cattle are commanding the highest
prices in the market and this particular
condition seems to work hardship on
the western cattle growers at this sea-
son Of the year.
These facts were CLEANED from two
prominent cattlemen who we're regis
tered at the Brown Palace hotel on Sum-
day. They were James c. Johnston Of
La Junta, who is the secretary Of the
Colorado Stock Inspection board, and j.
NJ. Holt, a large cattle owner residing
at Miles City, Montana.
Mr.. Johnston said that the range all
over Southern Colorado has not been
better for the last eight or nine years.
Cattle all over Colorado and the entire
west for that matter are in excellent
condition and were as fat as hogs. "But
that is just it, he said. Now is the
time that we want and ought to buy
cattle to eat up the grass, but are kept
from doing so because of the high prices
demanded. Beef is frlghtfully low on
the live stock markets at present. while
stock cattle and store cattle command
fair prices. When say fair l do not
mean to say that the prices are what
they ought to be, but they are fair COM
pared to what beef cattle are going for.
1.-The outlook for the cattle industry
is discouraging, and although several
months may bring about reaction In
the business. still the immediate future
is anything but bright. The majority
of stockmen throughout Colorado have
noticed are not buying many stock cat
tie for the reason Of the high prices,
They are holding off in hopes that they
might buy cheaper later and until 1t is
ascertained that the present market
prices for stock and store cattle is per.
manent it is not likely that a great mum
Der will be purchased. and brought into
the state.
1.-The yearly rOund-ups are either
started or about to be started. Many
mavericks will be picked up and after
ward sold to the highest bidders. There
is more or less cattle rustling going on
all over the state, and the cattlemen are
complaining great deal. The country
around La Junta is troubled some, but
sharp eye is being kept on the viola
tors. There seems to be no way in
which to retaliate for the outraeous
steals that are being made from the
herds of the small cattlemen. as we'll as
the large owners"
Mr.. Holt reports Montana cattle to be
in tip top condition, and saws that al
though the present boom in stock cattle
is not what it ought to be, still the Mon
tana growers were hopeful. Mr.. Holt
says that the ranges In Montana and
Wyoming have never been better and
the only thing that he and his neiehbors
long for are better prices and the time
when the cattle rustler will be no more.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let-up to the
mental suffering day or night. Sleep is
almost impossible and under such a
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of
sexual weakness, until 1t was question
whether he had not better take dose or
poison and thus end all his troubles. But
providential inspiration came to his aid
in the shape of a combination of medi-
cines that not only completely restored
the general health but enlarged his
weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free

The contest must, consequently, go on
until enc or the other party to it IS eI-
hausted, or until the United States feels
that it has waited long enough. With
the presidents views of possible future
action it is not likely that either Spain or
the Insurgents will be satisfied. They
are too definite to please the former and
too indefinite to crafty the latter, and
yet they are in accordance with our OBJ
legations as one of the family of nations
and eVince neither lack OF sympathy with
the revolutionists fighting for independ-
ence nor due regard for the obligations
of international comfy and the country S
dignity. The presidents position is one
which is likely to be sustained by the
best thought of the couptry.-Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.
He alone of all our Presidents has had
two terms separate from each other by
an interval of our years. He alone, after
being nominated for a second term to
succeed himself, and def ated al the polls,
continued during the entire administra-
ton of his successful competitor to be
the leading candida tie for his party's third
nomination. We do not wonder, there
fore, that some people, prone to expect
the unexpected, widely predict that this
remarka bic man will yet still further defy
all presidents by securing a fourth NOM
ination and third election. But every
sane survey of the field of political vi
sion leads to a peremptory dismissal of
every such notion as a mere chimera.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, then, we
have read the last of President Cleve-
lands presidential MISREPRESENTATION Ad-
