THE PRICE OF BEEF.
IL I. 81 bound =, + to REMAIN H,rh U.t,,
Farmers Stop selling Their
IT, Calves for Veal.

There has been great deal said about
high prices Of beef. I will give you my
observations about it. T agree with
most Of them that it is supply and de-
mand that cause high prices. Some
four OF Eve years ago prices were too
low for Illinois and eastern state farm
yers to compete with western range cat
tie. SO they sold what they had at low
prices, and in place of raising from two
to ten calves they let them suck till
four to six weeks old and sold them in
Chicago for veal. That was the best
way for them to do at the time.
:. Now It is different. The western
range cattle are not in such great num-
bers as four or five years ago. If a
feeder here wants to feed cattle he
goes to Chicago and ships them in to
feed, because he can't pick up his feed
ers here in the country as before. If
prices stay where they are now, next
spring will see Illinois farmers raising
more calves and better bred ones. In
about three years they will be ready
for market. Just think, if every farm
er on so or 160 acres throughout Iii.
nois and the eastern states would raise
two steers q jear, what a supply that
would make! Meanwhile prices will be
high till that is done, in my OPINION

(Which one, sir?"
The gold one with the big ruby in the

The clerk took it from the case. It was
marked $500; and it looked even worth
more. The Texan took it tenderly in both
hands and held it admiringly up to the
light. Then drawing himself up to his full

Prof. John "A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-

.succumbs SO INCREASINGLY when over
heated. The man OF horse when over
heated soon has his body covered with
perspiration, and the evaporation of
this at once begins TO reduce his tenn
perature. Nature has made no such
provision for the relief of the hog
when heated by exposure to. the sun
or by excessive exercise. This is rea-
son enough why it should have an abun-
dant and convenient water supply.

The City of Indianapolis !. . place
Where Aspiring Politicians
Flourish.

Indianapolis, Ind, boasts of the finest
climate in the United States in respect
to politicalsalubrity. A few years in its
atmosphere will convert farmer hoy
into a president or vice president, while
it's output of ambassadors, consuls gen.
era1 and the like is merely regarded as
an incident to the more important work
in hand of turning out national presid-
ing officers. At present Indianapolis
holds many important European consul
lar posts. One is minister to Austria.
Just now the postmasters at Havana,
Ponce and San Juan, the three impor-
tant cities Of our new acquisitions, are
all from Indianapolis. But the city has
q more unique record than this. 1t has
had representation on national tickets
for the longest unbroken period of any
city in the country. In a period of 20
years, beginning with 1879, there was
not national election when the city
was without representation on one of
the tickets. It Schuyler Colfax, whose
home was at South Bend, but who spent
much of his time in Indianapolis, is con-
sidered an Indianapolitan, this period
is extended another four years; and on
top of this an Indianapolitan was ma
,tional candidate for vice president in
the days before the war. The unbroken
stretch of 20 years, when bona fide resi-
dents of the city. were on the national
tickets, is as follows: In 1872 five cleo
toral votes were cast for George W..
Julian for vice president and AZ votes
for Thomas A. Hendricks for president;
1876, Hendricks was the democratic
nominee for vice president; 1880, Will
liam II. English was the democratic
nominee for vice president; 1884, Hen
bricks was the successful candidate for
vioepresident; 1888; Benjamin Harrison
was the successful nominee for presi-
dent; 1892, Harrison was the defeated
republican nominee for president. In
1868 Colfax was elected vice president.
In 1852 Julian was the nominee for vice
president on the. free soil democratic
ticket.-Ch Chicago Tribune.

Care Of Horses, Hoor..

Care OF Horses HOOfs.
Horses are confined to stables more
in winter than in summer, and as a
consequence their feet are more apt to
become diseased, especially when kept
upon dry board floors. Tie front feet
are always more affected than the hind,
becoming hard and brittle. To prevent
this, to have little pure cod liver oil

means OF. q rag .Qr.soft brush. is great
aid. Rub over the outside surface of the

THE eUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.

The Reno Gazette says Governor ssdler
has filed his answer to the suit brought BY
William Mcmillan to test the Governors
election. He alleges that In every pre-
cinct in Wsshoe county there were illegal
votes cast, viz. ; That ten non-residents
voted in Verdi, and various numbers In
other precincts and that In every precinct
there we're ballots cast and counted which
contained distinguishing marks. He asks
that the entire vote Of Reno be rejected
upon the ground that each citizen Of Reno
voted for five City Councilman instead o;
each citizen voting only for Q Councilman
In his own ward. He alleges that 800
votes are registered in Reno by some per-
son other than the registry agent and that
for that reason the registration was illegal
and that the votes OF the 800 voters 80 reg
istered are illegal and should be thrown
out. Something like $50 illegal votes are
alleged in Douglas county. He also al
leges that 100 non.residents at Yerington,
in Mason Valley. Lyon county. were al
lowed to vote. He also objects TO the en-
tire vote Of Storey county, upon the ground
that the people Of that county voted for a
Senator to fill the ~unexpired term Of Col.
F. O. Lord, who had been appointed pay
master In the army. Similar wholesale
