Market closed firm.
Ed Francis, of Newton, Kas., was on
the market Friday with two cars Of 1000
pound cattle. Mr.. Francis is one Of the
most enterprising cattlemen in Kansas
He will have fifteen or twenty loads of
feeders on the market this week.
Two hogs were cut out Of load
Thursday because they we're too heavy
to 60 through the scrapers at the pack
ing house. One weighed $50 pounds,
the other 9l6. They we're bought by a
local butcher at Sc. J. G. Swindler, Of
Brsymer, Mo-, shipped the load.
The firm Of Duke, Lennon & Herring
ton have shown good judgment in secur-
ing the services Of Mr.. Francis as solicitor.
Your correspondent hes the pleasure of
knowing the gentleman personally, and
speaks advisedly when we say that Mr..
Francis enjoys the confidence and esteem
Of all who know him. The thousands of
cattle feeders who read the ADVOCATE
would appreciate seeing this firms name
at the head of this column.
John Walker, Of White City, an extern
sive cattle feeder, was on the market last
week looking for feeders. He is splen-
did stockman and knows he must buy
right to make the business pay. He
deals with George Holmes Commission
Company, Of whom we hope to speak
more fully in the near future Mr..
Walker is an enthusiastic free silver adj
vocate, and gives one Of the best knock
down arguments For free silver we have
ever heard. Briefly stated, it is about
as follows: Mr.. Walker has German
neiRhbor who had become convinced
that it was not right to coin dollar
from 80 cents worth Of silver. Mr..
Walker asked the German If he was
feeding cattle. ayes, sir," says the neigh
Dor, ~ am feeding one carload of fine
Short-horn cattle" Suppose" says
Mr.. Walker, shat there was q law passed
tomorrow prOnouncing all breeds OF
cattle unfit for beef except the Hereford
or white-face, forbidding any other cattle
coming to the market, what would your
Short horns be WORTH" The German
thought q moment and said: "Not a
penny q pound" what would the
Herefords be worth?" mo one could
tell" says the German; there would
not be enough Of that class of cattle to
supply the demand, and they would go
to price out Of all reason. But the
people would not stand it." "How would
you help itY" asked Mr.. Walker. 1--WE
would throw the fellows out that passed
such law, and repeal it." swell" said
Mr.. Walker, "that is just what has been
done with silver. They have forbidden
it to be used the same as other precious
metals, and yet it is worth 70 cents per
ounce" We admit this is little out Of
the order ior stock yard notes, but it
comes from q farmer and cattle raiser
and 10 worthy Of consideration.

BucknelI's Foot Ball Prospects.


The prospects for good foot ball
team at Bucknell this year are very
good. All the old team, with the ex-
ception OF Herring, Davis and Firth,
will return. The hardest place to
fill on the team will be that of quar-
ter back, but as there are n number
OF available candidates who will put
themselves forward for tho place. no
serious difficulty is apprehended in
filling tho place. We understand d
that Manager Wilson has made ar
rangements with Will Young, of
Williamsport, to coach tho team.
Surely this is good news to the low
ers OF the game. The schedule has
almost been completed. The season
will open with Wyoming Seminary
at Lewisburg. A game has been
scheduled with Cornell Mt Ithaca.
The State game will be played the
latter port of October in Williams.
port aud the Dickinson game will
come on at Sunbury. A Thanks.
giving day game has been arranged
with franklin Il Marshall at Lancas-
ter. A date has also been closed
with the University of Pennsylvania
and negotiations are now pending to
play John Hopkins Chronicle.
