A representative Of the ADVOCATE
visited the Union Stock Yards, located
at Chicago. He had the pleasure of
forming the acquaintance of a few Of
the leading live stock commission
firms. Among them were the firms of
Greer, Mills g Co., the Standard Live
Stock Commission Company, George
Adams & Burke Co., John Adams &
Sons, and Drumm Flato Commission
Company. Jefferson E. Greer, Frank
o. Mills and Jesse Sherwood compose
the firm Of Greer, Mills g. Co. They
have branch houses In Kansas City and
st. Louis, with resident managers at
both these points. Mr.. Greer is gen
ersl manager, and looks after the
financial management; Mr.. Mills sells
the range cattle and Mr.. Sherwood the
natives. We are justified In saying
that this is one Of the most responsible
firms doing business on the markets,
II you have export or Christmas cattle
you will do well to communicate with
them. They have the reputation of
being men Of integrity and well &C.
quainted with this line of trade. Their
close attention to business and un-
questioned responsibility has built for
them splendid trade. Mr.. w, A.
Swanson is general manager of the
Standard Commission Company. His
experience In this line has made him
an excellent Judge of the market, His
genial nature will make you feel at
home when visiting his Office. Mr..
E. Wilson has charge Of the Drumm
Flsto Office at Chicago. This firm has
a house in Kansas City and st. Louis. |
They surely have exercised good judg-
ment in placing Mr.. Wilson at the
head of affairs at Chicago, as q cow
puncher would feel as though he had |
met a friend in this man at first sight. |
y George J. Adams, of the firm of
Adams & Sons, Is their hog salesman;
besides he assists In entertaining the
struggling newspaper man. Mr.. James
A. Frazier, cattle salesman for this
firm, has large supply Of old-faBh-
toned, hOmespun hospitality. His pc.
culisr fitness for the position makes
him very popular with the knight of
the prod pole. He has his own ideas
and has no hesitsncy In expressing
them. We should be pleased to
make more extended remarks regard
Ing these firms. We hope, however, In
the near future to have them talk
through our columns to the many cat.
tie feeders Of the West.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARD NOTES

There are thousands of feeders in
Kansas that are feeding their own cat
tie. They would do well to keep posted
on the Chicago market, as well as Kan
sas City and st. Louis. Greer, Mills &
Co. will be pleased to hear from you at
any time.
Irwin Bros. are headquarters for In.
formation on feeders. They do q gen.
ersl commission business and are
always glad to answer any questions
you may desire to ask upon any point
Of the business. They had a good run
last week and speak encoursglngly Of
the market In the future.
Wright & Hannah are still receiving
consiRnments from new customers,
and have the pleasure of continued
patronage from old ones. They were
too busy this week to furnish the AD.
vOoATE man with q list Of shipments,
but from the busy appearance Of their
Office they were enjoying a,gOOd trade.
Being personally acquainted with the
members Of this firm, we believe there
are no better on the yard.
Ben L. Welch & Co. are still keeping
well to the front as q first.clasS COM

pers that consigned to them last week
were the following: L. S. Glsscock,
Thsyer, Mo-, cattle; Doster & Ralph,

will observe that those shippers are
from all parts Of the West, each man
going home singing the praises Of Ben
and his allies.
The John E. Hale Commission Com
pany has fully demonstrated their sbil-
ity to cope with any irm doing business
on the yards. They sold New Mexico
this week for 1886; New
Mexico calves for S16.25 per head;
feeders for 1915 to "a; one car native

MILLIONS UNEMPLOYED.
Census Shows that Many Out Of Work Dur.
Ing the Census Year.

census SHOWS Thai Many Out OF WORK Dur
Ing the Census Year.
Carroll d. Wright, Commissioners Of
Labor In charge of the Eleventh dis
trlct, has transmitted q special report,
says a Washington dispatch, under
date November II. It shows for the
first time In census work the number
OF cOlored persons engaged In each oC-
CupatiOn separate and distinct from
the native and foreign white elements
Of the population, and hitherto I'M
compiled figures. The most interest
ing feature Of the reports relates to the
question Of the unemployed. Similar
data relative TO the unemployed were
collected at the census of 1890 but were
not compiled, so this is the first time
In the federal census that information
Of this kind has been presented in con-
nectlon with the statistics Of oCCups-
tlons derived from answers on the pop
ulatlOn schedule.
These figures simply show the Sggrs.
gate number Of persons unemployed
for different lengths of time and to
very considerable extent, probably, at
different times during the census year.
They do not show the net period
after making allowances for the time
when not engaged in their personal or
usual occupation, during which their
services may have been utilized at
some other kind of work. The census
enumerstors were fully instructed, but
the returns were not complete enough
TO warrant compilation.
There were 22,7S5,68l persons 10
years of age and over engaged In gain
full occupations in 1890, of whom
1891, 900 were males and 8, 3,194,5 fe.
males. OF these 3,Ol3,ll7 males and
5l0,61S females, or total of 1888, 7S0
persons, were unemployed at their
principal occupations during some part
Of the census year ending May 81, 1880.
OF the whole number Of persons 80
employed, 1,8lS,865 were unemployed
from one to three months, 1,34S,3l8
from four to six months and 336, ,447
from seven to twelve months. This is
equivalent, approximately, to l,1S9,672
persons unemployed at their principal
occupations for the entire twelve
months, and this number would repre-
sent sol per cent. Of the total number
engaged In gainful occupations In 1890.
Divided rs to sex, the approximate
number Of males unemployed at their
principal occupation for the entire cen.
sus year was 97S,O0O, representing 5.l6
per cent. of the whole number of males
at work, while the approximate mum.
ber Of females unemployed at their
occupations during the same period
was l67, ,56S, representing 4,28 per cent.
Of the whole number Of females at
work.

SHOT AND BEHEADED IN CHURCH
A Drunken Desperate Horrifies Con-
gregation at ThomasviIle.

Thomasville, Ga, July 3.-While con-
Quoting his Sunday school class in the
Baptist church at Metcalfe, just below
here yesterday, Col. Jno. f. Lilly was
shot TO death by adesperado named Jno.
Ruslin. The tragedy occurred without
previous warning. No words passed
between the men, and the first intima-
ton the large congregation had of the
killing was the sharp cry of the minis
ter, followed by the report of the
pistol.
Col. Lilly fell to the floor, and Rus
lin rushed to his side. Bending over
the Frustrated form Ruslin produced a
razor and with one terrible sweep al
most severed the head of Col. Lilly from
the body. Still standing over his vic
tim, his bloody razor and smoking
pistol in hands, Ruslin drank the con-
tents of a small bottle of laudanum.
1t produced no effect, save to cause
him to yomit, and, drawing his weap-
ons, Ruslin defied arrest. He escaped,
swearing to kill the first man who at
tempted to arrest him. The panic in
the church when the shooting occur
red came near being fatal, the people
scrambling over each other in their
efforts to get out.

PURELY VEGETABLE,


containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail
IL will cure all Diseases caused by Derange-
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS Of Liver Complaint are q
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-
matisnl; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headachei
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
ia generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time great suffering, wretched-
ness and DEATH win ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
10 the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:

I'VE have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the

us more than temporary relief; but the Regu-

No Import Duties on labor.


More rigid enforcement of contract-labor
laws has decreased importation of foreign
labor under direct or written contract, but
there Is ample evidence that alan labor
purveyors still influence such immigration.

follows: !" Mr.. Desabadia IAN Italian padrone

lariy engaged in supplying Italian laborers
in any numbers to contractors or others de-
string labor done; that he was prepared now
TO furnish from 200 TO GOO men Italians) for

ing lower wages. In Texas and other border
States invasion OF Mexicans occur at regular
intervals, especially at sheep time
these people contribute nothing to the wealth
OF the country, and patronize the railways
by walking home on the ties!
An investigation made by the Senate
Committee on Immigration in 1893 (Sen-
ator Hill, Chairmau) developed the startling
fact that Italian bankers RENTED to Italy
from New York City alone $25 000. 900 TO

Italians who have become domiciled here
for few years are beginning to make incur
siens into skilled-labor fields where they
were unknown formerly, aud where even
such suggestion would have been ridi-
cuied. In the shoe trade, for example, II is
said that large numbers of Italians have
been substituted for American workmen
who went out on strike some time ago.
