To the Public.

My attention has been called to the following item affecting myself and my business which appeared in the Vidette Of last week:
 Sheriff Leatherwood Is in NOgales on legal business and the principal part of it was to levy an attachment on the store and fixtures of H. Katz who has failed because he didn't un- derstand the art Of advertising and neglected to see the printer often enough. People generally don't do business long unless they know how to advertise their business and treat the newspaper people right.
 With reference to the above 1 wish to state that I have always been a very liberal advertiser. So long as the Vidette maintained an honorable standing among newspapers and in the community, the advertisement of the New York Store was one of the largest, most conspicuous and most literally paid in it's columns But when in the last municipal election the Vidette deliberately sold out those who had always been its friends. who had entrusted it's editor with a potent voice in the management of their local political affairs and were pushing him forward for future po- litical honors and ample business re- ward-when, say, the Vldette forgot all thasa fhtnuc and for ridfoulouclv cheap price turned over to the other side in day, that paper so quickly lost friends and subscribers that it was no longer of any value as an ad vertising medium, and for that reason l withdrew my advertisement from it's columns. Like any good business man pay my money out for value re- ceiyed, and when 1 pay for advertising l want my moneys worth. But cut my advertising out Of the yidette be- cause on account Of it's notorious treachery it's standing and circulation had fallen so low that it was, and still is, waste of money to advertise in its columns.
 With reference to my own business complications 1 can say truthfully that snap judgment was taken upon ne, or my store would not have been attached. My resources were more than ample to meet all my liabilities, and attachment was entirely unneces- sary. HENRY KATE. MORALES. July 18th, 1898.

Live Stock association, received one
 day last week at his office iu Denver,
 a small box through the mails, says
 the Stockman of that city. lt was
 about the size Of pill box, and the
 lid had been punched all full of holes
 with pin. It did not To like an
 internal machine, but if the contents
 of that innocent little box should be
 dumped anywhere in the vicinity 1f
 the Union Stock yards, 1t could with
 in few days create more excitement
 in this vicinity amoDg the steckmeH
 than if they were told that Spanish
 fleet was sailing up the Platte. The
 box came from California and con- tained about dozen full fledged cat
 tie ticks, known among cientitic men as "Boophilus bovis,' and among the cattlemen as the Texas tick. The box and it's contents were sent to the sec retary from county in California with request that he find out if they were genuine cattle ticks of the kind above mentioned. State Veteri- nary Gresswell pronounced them the genuine article, the little dissemiua- tor of Texas or splenlc fever, the con- tinement of which within certain boundaries has cost the government and states os the Union immense sums of money
 There has been great deal of dis cussiun lately as to the difference be. tween a wood tick and the familiar cattle tick Wood ticks will live in cattle sn the same manner as the boo philus bovis, and they look very much alike to the uninitiated The cattle tick, when full grown, is about the size Of the nail of the little finger of the average hand. It is Of a greenish gray color, and the particular mark of Identification is light-colored V- shaped streak, the point of the VI being near the head and the arms oPiNooib6 OuS OfCt buC Odths Ou tue rear end of the back there are three intentions, like three lines creased into the back and lying between the arms Of the V. These markings are peculiar to the boophilus bowls, and when seen will settle all doubts. The tick also has four legs on each side Of the body
 An effort is being made by some of the cattlemen in the drOuth country of California to move their cattle, but the government inspectors have thus far refused steadily to even examine the cattle, knowing that they are ticky. It is claimed that some Of the cattle that were inspected and per mitted to go east to Nebraska, have been found to have ticks, but it is be- { lieved that this must be mistake, as the inspection has been most rigo- rous in every case. One train Of the cattle, it is claimed, is being held at Grand Island, Nebraska, because of ticks, but there has been very little said about the matter as yet, and it Is hardly thought that the ticks found were the genuine article.

interest naturally centers in the ma,
ton which deals with the war with

Porto Rico, and, lastly, with the I'm

necessary To make the army effective
for the defense Of the country. There
IS an entire absence Of any evident d.,

in the report are italicized in an sp-
parent desire TO justify previously ex

The Orleans family in France has
always been famous for its small econ
omies. King Louis Philippe was
sneered at in his time as a man who
counted his pennies" His descend
ants also have the reputation OF being
penurious in the Use OF their ample
wealth. The head OF the house is the
Due d'Orleans, who would be king if
the monarchy were restored. His re-
cent manifesto respecting the Drey-
fus affair confirms the popular view
OF the family failing. Instead OF send
in Paris by messenger empowered
10 have it printed as poster and pla-
carded where every one could see il.
he put il in an ordinary envelope and
posted il by mail at the expense of
five cents without warning his agents
by telegraph of his intentions. In
consequence OF his bad management
the manifesto was only placarded in
Il few places. and was laughed at
wherever it was read. He was ridi-
culed by the boulevard wits az a pre-
lender. who could not afford TO spend
more than five-cent stamp even when
a throne was in sight. There was the
same kind of wit in Louis Philippe S
time. The blind beggar. into whose
hat the smallest French coin was
thrown by bystander. exclaimed:
That must have been an Dreams
prince" All Paris was stirred with
merriment when the story was told in
print.

stores are largely stocked with baking

States OF Minnesota and Wisconsin

words this baking powder contains
