BIGGEST YOKE OF OXEN.
Actual Weight of the Mammoth Ami
mails Is 1900 Pounds.

The greatest yoke of cattle ever seen
in this country is owned by J. D. Avery,
of auckland, Mass. They are named
Joe and Jerry. Their age is eight years
and they measure ten feet in girth.
They stand II hands high and their
measurement from tip to tip is IS feet
II inches. There is not difference of
ten pounds in weight between them.
and the two together tip the scales at
1900 pounds. They hold the worlds
record for one pull, having drawn H.
061 pounds of stone, loaded on dray,
on level, just eight feet in one draw.
They are models of symmetry in build,
are extremely kind and docile and beau
tifully colored. The best of care is
devoted to them, one man spending
several hours every day in grooming
and cleaning them. They have been
on exhibition at all of the principal ag-
ricultural fairs in the country.
In speaking of his handsome yoke Of
oxen Mr.. Avery said: ''The= oxen have
not by any means reached their limit;
they. have gained in weight some 700
pounds the past year and are capable
of carrying another thousand pounds.
Unlike other large cattle, their flesh is
distributed very evenly, which adds
very much to their looks, and they
stand on their limbs as straight as a
pair of calves. .'>-.
'"They are remarkably intelligent and
well trained, as you can judge from
the position which they take in the pho
tograph. They are very active and can
easily walk mile. in 80 minutes. They
are colored, like all pure Holsteins,
black and white. Their coats are as
fine and glossy as a Thoroughbred
racers. They are still worked moder-
ately when at home, Their yoke was
made to order, and probably is the
largest yoke ever worn by any team.
It is seven feet in length and weighs
200 pounds. - <,% . ,<... Il. ~. e. ri
"Their browning glory is their mag
nificent set of highly polished horns.
For size, quality, mating and beauty
combined their equal does not exist in
the world. It may be of interest to
know that their feed consists of eight or
twelve quarts of corn and oats ground
together, two quarts of flax meal and
from six to eight quarts Of bran each
day, with an occasional change to suit
their appetites." Philadelphia Times.
M KIN the Aged. .g5S#
The Siberian Tchuktchis are totally
different in appearance, language and
customs from the Alaska Eskimos.
They are fairly well disposed, as q rule,
excepting during their drunken orgies,
which take place. on an average, once a
week. It is not safe, on these oc-
.casions, to venture abroad, for rifles
are discharged Unfortunately in all
directions, and, occasionally, into the
huts. The strangest custom OF this
strange tribe is what is called the Kan
tick, or putting to death with their
free consent) Of the aged and useless
members Of the community by strangu-
1ation with q walrus thong. "a Kamitok
(which took place during De Windt's
stay at Ounwaidjik is never practiced
on women. The Shamans, or medicine
men, are practically kings Of the place,
and woe to the luckless Tchuktchi who

Especial to The Herald.l

Washington, June 1O.-The latest
additions to the Utah contingent of Of
fice-seekers are Arthur L. Thomas and
J. NJ. Stout. who arrived in Washing
ton late last night.
They both came or the same train.
and it is said their interests in coming
are Identical and of a political nature.
although both deny that their visit
pertains to politics. 1t is said that
they are closely followed by c. Il. Post
of the Utah National bank, who wants
TO be receiver Of the land office, and is
expected to arrive tomorrow.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Thomas is
here to oppose the recommendations of
Senator Brown and TO represent the
interests of persons who have been an
tagonistic to the BroWn-Rogers COM
bination in the fight for federal pat
ronage.
Mr.. Thomas is said to be after job
for himself, but what office he has now
concentrated upon is not known. When
here about TWO months ago he wanted
TO be appointed assistant secretary of
state. and after being disappointed in
that ambition, sought for something in
the interior department, but it is said
the position he wanted there was also
denied him.

RUSTLERS NABBED.
WYOMING CATTLE THIEVES Be
HIND BARS.
Everything Points to Clear Case
Against the Fellows, Who Are Old
Hands at the Business.

Denver, June 1O.-A special to the Re
publican from Omaha, Neb.. says:
The authorities at Cheyenne. Wyo.,
were tonight given information which
may lead to the capture of a gang of
cattle rustlers. "a few days ago word
was sent to the government inspectors
at South Omaha stock yards TO be on
longing to the Northern Cattle COM
pany, with headquarters at Miles City,
Mon, and which had been shipped to
Omaha from some point in Wyoming.
The informant further stated that he
believed the cattle had been stolen by
rustlers on the ranges and the brands
and other points OF Identification would
probably be found tempered with.
Inspectors Talbot and Pickard
started west yesterday and at Alliance,
Neb., found the cattle described. When
the train reached its destination the. in
spectorS replevined the steers. They
were consigned to Becker & Degin. and
had been shipped by Joseph w. Webb.
II was the opinion of experts that the
brand of the Northern Cattle company
of Montana. a combination of the in
itials S and II, had been burned to the
new combination of B and H. The ear
marks had been destroyed by cutting
away large portions of the ears. The
inspectors here are busily searching
through the registered brands of Mon
tana and Wyoming to find the new one,
while officers in Wyoming are investi-
eating the herd from which the sus
picious steers were bought. 1t is said
that there were about 100 in the herd.
