SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Today will end the service of John
6peer as joint agent of the railroads at
abe Union stock yards. The stock yards
and packing house people regret TO have
HIM quit the Office. The superintendent
OF the Dold packing house said last night
that John Speer was the best agent they
had ever had in the joint office. He
undeIs 5ocd his business and is gentle
manly and accommodating.
The man who does not own good
horse is hardly eligible for an associate
OF the UEion stock yards and pack ne
house crowd. Fred Dold has recently
bought a pair Of quick steppers: Ed
Blackburn owns a whole stable of stand
ard bred trotters; W. r. Dulaney has
full sister OF Doctor Dulaney," that is
= fine roadster; Billy Wallace drives
fine stopper. Marsh Paugh has one Of
the flrest horses at the yards, but Marsh
IS opposed 10 horse-raciug, and the boys
do not know hoW fast his horse can go.
p A. 3. Moore and Cliff Daratt each own
a good horse, and DR.. Barth is ready for
q race with any Of them. An inves5 iga-
ton of a cloud of dust on Lawrence
avenue The other day revealed Charley
Darrigrand driving what Al Spencer de-
nominated an old plug. That old plug
was going at such rate Of speed that
al of the crowd feared 70 drive in the
direction Mr.. Darrigr5nd was going He
had secured Efie S;iner. With a record
Of POS. None OF the horsemen at the
yards recognized the old flyer. and il
was Mr Lapham who revealed her

chance TO throw dust in ali their eyes
y. p. LongteIow Of Derby was at the
yards with wagon hogs yesterday. He
has car load Of export steers on his
farm which all the people at the yards
understood that Fred Dold had bought
yesterdaE for E.59 Mr. Longfellow said
ar. Dol5 had offered him more for his
cattle than he could have got out OF
them by Shipping 90 any other market,
bur he desired &c hold a few days longer.
This shows that the Dold Packing house
people have come 70 the conclusion that
Wichita people want coed beef. as the
cattle were intended for the local trade
Manag Fred D-ld said last evening
that he would Ike 10 slaughter nothing
but the bISt Corn-fed, Kansas steers. II
he could sell the meat. The butchers
here report that people are all the time
deIsuj'ng better beef and this demand
IS Wussd by the good cattle that Dold
has been killing
