Christmas presents.
The "Mum" Show is now in full
blast and will continue until SATURDAY..
Nov. IS, closing that night. The display
this year is larger and better than ever
before EVERY exhibit is artistically ar
ranged, and in such manner that there
is much more room than heretofore. so
that everybody will have plenty of room
b move around in. Excellent music has
been secured for the occasion in the
West Side Quintette Club" one of the
best musical organizations i'm Northwest
Missouri. They will furnish choice music
each evening. The decorations are fine
and many more incandescent lights were
put in, which add greatly to the appear
ance OF the room.
And now, here comes J. w. Randall.
who lives north of Forest CITY on Kim
sey creek, and relates the following,
which he vouches for, and says that he
can furnish several other witnesses i'm
corroboration, all OF whom are good citi-
zens, and whose reputation for truth and
veracity cannot be questioned: His
nephew, Robert Randall, living west of
Craig, was cutting wood on MIR.
Mush's land: one of the trees was a
large elm, from which he made seven "a
cords Of wood and AZ posts, and also
killed 13 squirrels which had taken up
their abode in the tree. Hold on, this is
not all yet, the tree was hollow and
colony of bees had taken up their quar-
ters therein and stored away honey suffi-
cent to have lasted them for long time, |
but Randall knowing good thing when |
he saw it, robbed the bees. getting over |
100 pounds of fine honey. This, together. |
with seven cords of wood, AZ posts and
13 squirrels, is without parallel. we be-
lievs, even in this land Of plenty.

Face to Face.

London, Nov. II. 1t the news con-
tanned IN the Pretoria dispatch of Thurs
day. November 2, by way Of Cape Town,
Friday. November 10, is correct, and
there is every reason to believe it is nc.
curate, as the Boer dispatches have al
most invariably hitherto rendered fairly
accurate accounts, 1t Is claimed here
that it implies q general assault on
Ladysmith was pending when General
Joubert's report was sent off. Attention
10 called to the fact that the date, No
vember Q, is assumed to be the date OF
General Whites last pigeon post mes
sage announcing renewal of the bonn
bardment, since which nothing has
been received except rumors from Est
court, that the bombardmsnt was sus-
pended November 10.
1t is claimed that il the Beers got
their forces within 800 yards Of the
British pOsition it shows they fully real
lied the necessity OF utilizing the brief
interval before the arrival OF the British
reInforcemsnts to make determined
attempt to storm General Whites posi-
ton.
To successfully advance so close TO
Ladysmith, IT is pointed out, the Beers
must have been most active in entrench-
ing. and the nearness Of the besieging
lines, it is added, indicates their readl-
ness for the assault, which there has
been disposition in military circles to
believe the Beers were not willing to un-
dertske. 1t must. however. have been
patent to General Joubert that Lazy
smith would not fall to the fire OF his
artillery. and therefore he had no choice
but to assault the place or retire to the
passes Of Drsksnsburg in the hope Of
involving the pursuing British IN the
intricate fsstnessess of the mountains.
The cessation OF the cannonads men
toned in the dispatch and the opening
Of musketry fire implies, it is claimed,
that the Beers we're obliged to stop
their artillery for fear Of hitting their
own men, and that nothing further has
been heard from this movement is re-
gsrded here as an indication either that
the threatened assault WAS prepared or
that the result was indecisive; other
wise. it is claimed, something further
would have leaked out before now.

From Ed. Rostock.

L
Through the courtesy of the "old
folks at home" We are permitted to
publish the following letter from Pri,
vate Rostock of the 22nd United States
Infantry, now doing duty along the
firing line in the Philippines. The letter
is dated October sth. and was written
from Candaba:
CASDaBA, P. L., October 8, 1892.
We have met the enemy and still
have a whole hide. We moved out to
Aryot,9 miles from here with three COM
panies, four Gatlines and two Hotchkiss
! rapid fire guns and whipped about 1000
Pinos and took the town, but did not
hold it as We marched back here the
same evening. That is the first time l
was ever under fire and guess l did
some tal dodging when the Mauser and
Remington bullets first began to zip and
whiz about, but it was not long before
the excitement Of battle had me into the
game as we'll az the old Vets, and was
throwing lead at the Pinos for keeps.
We were up to 300 yards Of them, point
blank range the closest we have ever
been'to them yet, and oh, how they did
60 when We once got them to break
cover, a race horse could never have
caught them. | will send with this let
ter handkerchief made in Hong Kong,
China, and the embroidery was done by
Philippine girl whose father used to
be in the Philippine army, but is now an
"Amego." "a good boy has stopped
fighting.l He says, "Philippino mucho
loco Americana: too mucho boom, boom"
Translated means that the Philippines
are crazy; the Americans can shoot too
fast and well. We only got about 30 OF
them the day we had the fight.
| have been upon guard again since
having written the forepart of my letter.
The Pinos are moving down the river
and it is reported that the Sd Cavalry
or part of them have occupied the town
we ran the rebels out Of last week. Six
Pinos started out Of here for Manila for
the purpose OF buying goods. They had
between them about $1,000; they had
not gone three miles from the town be.
fore they were captured by Ladrones,
trobbers1 and all were literally hacked
to pieces with Bolo's, ia kind of heavy
knife used here) | have just heard
news Of our battle the other day.
We killed @ privates, 3 sergeants, |
lieutenant and wounded about 40 more
We never found any upon the field, they
always manage to get their dead and
wounded away. The information came
through the priest from that town, 80 it
is pretty reliable, as he always sends us
word when to expect our outposts to be
fired upon. We only had one man
wounded slightly in the arm. Lucky
our company has only lost one man since
they came upon the Island. Pigeons
are plentiful here. have seen one dove
and a pair Of turkeys. My vaccination
gave me considerable trouble, but is now
all right, they had to scrape me the |
fourth time before they made it a go. !

There is a move on foot soon, as several |

THE WORLDS BIG BOATS. THE
English marine publication, The Syren
says: We British pride ourselves that
the aggregate tonnage of British ships
approximates 10 the total merchant
tonnage owned by The remaining mari
time countries of the world, but there
is another phase of the matter where
a comparison with other nations places
US in u position other than first. II
appears we have only II vessels oi
over 10000 tons gross-headed by the
Oceanic, with her 1900 tons. But
Germany has % vessels in that cate.
CORY. The United States is the only
other nation with vessels above 10000
tons and she has four. The biggest
ship owned by France is 1898 tons
while Norway's greatest ship is OF
1926 tons gross. In speed Great
Britain is right ahead of her competi.
tors, having 81 vessels with speed Of
20 knots or more; Belgium has 6, the
United States 4, Germany and Holland
8 each, France 2 and Russia l. Thus
in speed the British flag exceeds the
world, while the disparity between
Germany and this country, so far as
size is concerned, will suon be lessened
as several large vessels are nearing
completion in British yards.

RELIEVING CHOKED CATTLE.

Choking in cattle is usually caused
by swallowing potato, apple, piece
of turnip or carrot, or a piece Of corn
cob. No matter in which part Of the
gullet it is lodged it causes great dis
tress. The animal coughs, saliva runs
from the mouth, eyes bulge out, back
is arched and bloating also takes place.
If it is in the upper part of the gullet
the animal soon dies from sutfocation.
If it is in the middle or lower part the
animal may live for several days. Ii
it is in the upper part of the gullet
give a little oil and then rub the hand
up and down the throat to scatter the
accumulation. 1t may be necessary to
give little oil several times, aud con-
tinue the rubbing, as it may take some
time to overcome the choking. In
case no oil is at hand similar attempt
may be made by pouring down some
water.
If the obstruction cannot be forced
up or down by oiling and rubbing the
gullet, use a probang which is made OF
spiral wire covered with leather and
which will bend with the neck. There
is also a gag to put in the mouth, with
a hole in the center through which the
probang passes. Oil the probang and
let one man take hold of the animals
horns or ears, while another passes the
probang through the hole in the gag
and back into the gullet. Press gently
until the object is felt, then by steady
pressure it will pass into the stomach.
Too much force should not be used for
fear of rupturing the gullet. No un-
yielding article should be pressed down
the gullet, as it is almost sure to rup-
ture it. If a probang is not conven-
lent take piece of rope about three
fourths to one inch in diameter, fray
out a little of the end and tie piece
of string around it to form soft knot,
grease this well and it will supply the
place of probang.
In cases where an animal cannot be
relieved by this treatment, cut down
on the gullet with knife, making an
incision and removing the material.
Clean the wound and bring the edges
of the gullet together firmly and sew
with silk thread or catcut, letting the
ends hang out of the external wound,
bring the edges of the skin together,
put bandage around and keep it wet
with cold water for "a hours, and it
will usually heal. Give the animal
soft food for some days, and if pro.
bang was used and the gullet not cut
give soft food two or three days.-Dr.
D. Mcintosh, in Denver Field and
Farm.
