Bivens & Williams have sold
two cars of buggies since February
10. This is an enYiable record in
buggy selling and one not enjoyed
by any other dealers in this coun-
try. Their high grade goods, ex-
tremely low prices, reasonable
terms, and their reputation for
selling goods that are exactly
what they recommend them to be,
have made this firm a favorite one
with the buying public. 13-d&wtf

Territory Cattle Ruling.

Fort Worth, Texas, May A.
General Live Stock Agent J. l..
Pennington of the Santa Fe re-
ceived advices today to the effect
that the Interior Department at
Washington had held that all cat
tlemen holding leases in the Ponca
and Otoe reservations must cancel
them at once. Later kilograms
contradicted the first reports, so
Capt. Pennington cannot ascertain
what the real situation is.
1t is given out that there are be-
tween $4,000 and 1900 head of
Texas cattle in these reservations.

ADVICE TO KANSHNS,
State Oficer Tells Farmers to Hold
Their Surplus Corn.

TOPEKA. Kan, Sept. 26.-Secretary CO.
burn of the State Board of Agriculture, is
urging the farmers to hold their surplus
corn. To-day he sent out this appeal:
There has never been a season Of unusual
production and low prices for corn which
was not, in the near future, followed by one
of comparative scarcity, with prices cor
responding,y high, and there is no sufficient
reason for believing this so far unvarying
rule is likely to be changed for the present
occasion. The moral Of this is that Kansas
farmers should market as grain no more of
their present crop than is necessary. They
would rightly nave considered themselves
favored and nightly prosperous with a
yield less by 1oo.O 900, 900 bushels than they
have now. If they were to hold, as they
could do very comfortably. this extra 1OO.-
100000 bushels in substantial, ratproof cribs
on the farm for a year or more, it wou d
not only relieve to that extent the down.
ward pressure Of a glut on the market and
help to steady and firm prices on the re-
ma1nder, but would make the growers, in
stead of the SPECTATORS, masters of the Sit
uation when prices advance or there is an
other shortage"

let go his left just before the bell.

on kennedy's face and there was no come
back. Sparrinc and Kidding followed, with

ders, and Kennedy went down and out.
