Cattle In Kansas.

There is little doubt but that thu
number of cattle in Kansas, on farms
and ranges, is larger than ever be-
fore in the history of the state. Thii
has been brought about by the i'm
mense corn crop of 1895 and 1896
and the excellent pasturage.
In the western portions of the
state, where the cattlemen have come
into POSSESSION of their own again
there have been. and are thousands
Of cattle grazing, which have been
shipped in there from different
portions of the Southwest. the Re.
public of Mexico having contributed
several thousand. Thus it has been
where Improbable farming has given
way to successful grazing, the re-
turns from previously worthless
property has amounted to something.
The movement of cattle into Kan
sas still is active, the purchases at
the stock yards for shipment continu
ing large, few days since the num-
Der shipped and driven into Kansas
from the stock yards having been, in
three days, more than 10000 head.
From the Panhandle of Texas there
will. according to the estimate of an
official of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, who acts as an inspector of
the Kansas State Live Stock Sanitary
Commission, be upwards of $4,000
cattle shipped into Kansas before the
snow flies.
Large numbers of these cattle
which are going into Kansas ar o
calves, yearlings and two,years old
steers, which will not be returned to
market as beeves for q year or more.
They are the means, however, by
which the farmer finds a market for
his corn, hay, and rough feed. and
therefore a valuable factor whereby
the wealth of the state if increased.
At the present time Kansas can be
called the champion cattle state

THE COUNTY ELECTION.

THE COUNTY ELECTlON.
The Republicans elect four candi-
dates by good majorities-B. Frank
Martin for treasurer, S. P. Reynolds
for register of deeds, J. G. Fonda
for county surveyor, and 81. r.
Brown for county commissioner; and
the Democratic fusion elect 81. B.

clerk, and DR.. .. A. Milton for
coroner. Judge F. G. Price, Repub-
lican candidate for district judge, has
a large majority in the county, and
he is elected by large majority in
the. district.
The election did not have much
political significance, democrats and
republicans voting a 'mi1ed ticket.
while the ,populists scratched" pro
.miscuously. The populist detection
was not as great as anticipated, and
the loss of the Soldiers Home vote
was a serious one to the Republican
ticket. Many Republicans in the
city voted for the successful democra-
tic candidates, while many populist
voters in the county voted for the de-
feated Republican candidates.
The Republican candidates made a
clean canvass, and the defeated ones
take their defeat philosophically.
Their failure was not on personal
grounds.
We have not been able to compile
a complete vote Of the returns, but
we will publish the official returns
next week. Herewith we give the
estimated majorities:
81. B. Bell has 200 majority;

WHOLESALE LIQUOR FIRMS.
Their Liability for Retail License
I'D Again.

Moritz Helm, attorney for Mlchaud
Bros. called on Mayor Doran yester-
day and laid before that official num-
her Of facts in relation to the payment
or rather the non-payment OF nquof
licenses by wholesale liquor firms IN the
city. The firm represented by Mr. hem
pays a license of l,000 per year for
CARRYING on gne liq,.or department in
connection with their 5usiness, anG in
sist that other firms engaged in the
so-called wholesale liquor. business,
should do either one of two things, stop
the sale of liquor at retail, or take out
the license as provided by law. rms,
the firm claims, should be attended to
nv the city officials and those firms who
are selling in less than five-gallon lots,
should be required to take out licenses.
Mayor Doran assured the attorney
that the matter would be investigated,
and if the condition of affairs were such
as was stated, action would be taken.
The mayor, seen yesterday afternoon,
stated that caucus of the members of
the council had been held about year
ago. and it was decided that firms SELL
inc only to retailers would not be re-
ouired to take out a license. 1t was
also decided at the meeting, the mayor
said. that those dealers who catered to
the family trade" should be required
to take out the $1,000 license. Michaud
Bros. now claim that their firm is the
only one Of the several doing the same
kind of business who have taken out
license.
Attorney Helm. when seen by re-
porter for the G. o b e, said the firm
which he represented conducted spe-
cial department sof wines and liquors
in connection with their business, and
sold only in sealed packages and bot
ties without regard to quantity. Since
the firm had added this department to
their business; the license inspectors of
the respective administrations had in
sisted that the firm be prompt in pay
ing the 81 900 and taking out the license.
The firm had been assured by the vari-
Gus inspectors that other wholesale
houses dealing in wines and liquors
were compelled to also take out a
license. The license taken out by the
firm in 1896, expired few days ago,
and the present license inspector had
been particularly active in seeing that
the firm take out a new license. The
license of s., 900 had been paid last
week by the firm, and at that time they
had been assured by the license inspec-
tor that other dealers were also obliged
to take out license. Being suspicious
