1t IL unfortunate that In these lat
ter years the Office OF v!ce-presidentis
held to be Of SC little Importance.
Possibly our forefathers made a mis-
take in limiting the duties OF the vice
president to presiding over the DELHI
craiions of the senate. While the OF.
flee should be filed by a man in every
way fitted for first place, such men
hesitate to accept the honor because
it has come to be regarded az a pO-
litical graveyard, their only chance
of an opportunity to distinguish
themselves being in the death of the
president. Yet in our national his
tory four of the yIce.presideuts have
succeeded to the presidency through
the death OF the president, namely
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur.
Three vice-presidents, Adams, Jeffer-
son and Van Buren,, were elected to
the presidency after serving as vice
presidents.

MILLION DOLLAR CATTLE DEAL.

A large stock transaction, which
Inns been under way In the east for
several weeks, was consummated
last week, through which the NJ. IL.
Murphy Cattle company, one OF the
oldest oncerns in this section OF the
country, retires from business. The
news was received here yesterday
that the Murphy company had sold
its brand to G.. j. Hysham, of Red
Oak, Iowa, and l.. Il. Mcpherson,
cashier of the South Omaha National
bank. The sale is one OF the largest
that has taken place in the north
west for years. The roundup will
show about $4,000 head OF cattle.
The terms OF the sale are private, but
enough Information is at hand so
that 1t Is safe to say that the cattle
brought from $50 to SIS per head.
The Murphy Cattle company ranges
its stock on the Crow reservation.
NJ. II. Murphy has been identified
with the cattle interests of Montana
and northern Wyoming for twenty
years.
Along with this sale is the report
