Chicago, June s.-The judicial cleo
ton on Monday was carried by the re-
publicans, who elected all of their can
didates by pluralities of about 10000 in
the city, and 1000 in the county outside

called republican, i ineluded all of
the ii judges now on the bench in the
circuit court-eight republicans and SIX
democrats. In addition to the judges
of the circuit court, one Judge of the SUI
perior court and one justice of the SUI
preme court were voted for, but Ma
gruder for the latter position and
Brentano for the former were indorsed
by both republicans and democrats.

KILLS At TWO NILES

The Krag-Jorgensen rife, which

feature of the new rifle which strikes
the observer is the amount of wood

reason assigned for the innovation is
that the barrel of the gun becomes

a protection to the hand of the soldi, +
The cartridg is quite small, but is

is estimated that the soldier can

rifle is provided with a knife blade

WEIGH WITH THEIR EYES.

The dealers in live stock who buy
and sell the thousands Of cattle, hogs
and sheep which are daily handled at
the Bourbon stockyard must be expert
in guessing the weight of a live animal
at glance. In conversation with a
we'll known stockman few days ago
he explained why this is necessary:
at would be impossible to weigh the
cattle in many cases because of the i'm
mense labor involved and the length
of time it would take, while market
price, which is subject to constant
fluctuations, might easily vary from its
lowest limit while we were weighing
the animals in one of our big scale.
For instance today which has been
biggest day of the year thus far, there
have been received at the Bourbon
yards over 2, 400 head Of cattle and
about 5000 hogs. Suppose we had to
drive all of those upon the scales to
ascertain their weight? There are
dozens Of old stock men who can in
spect herd of animals and form an
-stimate of their average weight will
be readily accepted by purchasers as
the basis of IA trade.
In test case which was made
some time since a man who has had a
lifelong experience III buying and
selling herd Of cattle, after inspect
ing a herd Of 500 animals, guessed
their average weight within one-third
Of a pound of the actual figure ascer-
tained by weighing the cattle indivi-
dualIy. The feat was accomplished
by Mr.. Ben ID. Offutt of this county
and is not so extraordinary as it ap-
pears, because similar instances of ex-
pert guessing occur here every day.
