The English Government is still
buying up all the best horses and
mules it can get hold of in many
parts of the United States and
specially in the middle west. AS
they are for use in South Africa on
account of the Boer war and they
must have them at any price and
do pay big prices, it has naturally
helped to raise the price of horses
and mules all over the country and
the Republican party claims the
credit for it as call owing to the
wise and benefcent administration
OF President Mckinley" The
English have. sent three hundred
thousand horses to South Africa
since the outbreak of the Boer war.
The average mounted man requires
a new horse every four months, aud
one regiment is credited withj call
ing for and receiving 6, 500 horses
in a single year. They have used
about as many mules in the trans
portation of their guns, ammunition
and supplies of all kinds. 1t takes
so many to do as half of them are
wasted in various ways. Many
die on the long and cruel voyage
and those that get there only last a
short time, as the climate soon gets
away with them.

The Journal of this place in an
editorial last week tried to excuse
the officials for making no effort to
punish Major Fields for a gross
violation of the law, that was so
plain and so public that everybody
knew it. The facts were all pub
lished in the papers and finally the
Major got uneasy for fear the
papers would push the officials to
do something and skipped out, but
1t is well known where he is and TO
our personal knowledge some of the
said officials have been in commu-
nication with him about other
business, but the Journal insists
that the officers of the law cannot
do anything unless some citizen
hunts up the evidence and takes the
lead in an effort TO punish law
breakers. We would like to know
what officers of the law are elected
for and what they give bond for and
are under oath for if it is not to
enforce the law and hunt up and
punish offenders and violators
when such matters are brought to
their attention. Things come To n
pretty pass if such work must all be
done by private citizens, so this
position of the Journal is entirely
untenable and will have to be aban-
doned.

Out in Omaha a Seventh Day
Adventist prophet named Carnow,
declares that the world will come TO
an end on September r3th, but how
anything that is round can come to
an end is more than we can figure
out. However, we have four weeks
yet to build a cyclone cellar and
get our business all settled up, and
anyone owing us should come in
and pay up and get a clear title
before it is eternally too late. In
the meantime, we can go ahead
with teachers institute and the
campmeeting, which will all be over
soon, but II the bust up does come
on schedule time it will interfere
with corn cutting and pumpkin
husking and spoil all the old-fash-
toned apple pcalings

After the opening the market eased off
400 points, the total sales being quite
small. Private cables explained the rise
as in part due to the weather 1t was felt
there that rain had injured the crop. and
opinion was accordingly veering 10 the
bull side. Locally sentiment was the same
way. The situation is such that short
operator are extremely hazardous. The
Chronicle report for the week states that
rain has fallen in most districts, and has
been excessive In portions of the Gulf
states, Georgia and Florida. Some COM

Murphy 4 Co.'S stock Letter.

Reviewing the stock market for the
week closing to-day, Murphy & Co, say:
The general recovery in the stock mar
ket which set in about the middle of last
week and was based upon the amicable,
and satisfactory settlement of the con-
troversy respecting the control of the
Northern Pacific, eliminated for the time
being on Monday. Since then price move
ments have been exceedingly irregular,
trading has contracted materially, and
some stocks have reacted extensively. On
the other hand there have been a number
of particular movements upward which
have carried certain stocks to even
higher level than they attained prior to
the panic a month ago Cases in point
were Atchison, Missouri Pacific, Rock
Island, Erie, common, and Southern Rail
way, common. The market, however, APP
pears to have lost the uniformity OF
movement which characterized 1t before
May 8. The money market continues ex-
tremely easy, and the European money
markets are showing clear evidences of
relaxation. The Bank Of England has this
eek reduced its official discount figures
to a point more nearly corresponding
with the figures In the open market.
Since the relaxation in the European
money markets, together with the cessa-
tion of tremendous foreign selling of our
securities, and the completion of the re-
mittance there they have reported a sus-
pension Of exports of gold The financial
outlook is still favorable. The stock mar
ket outlook would appear to be for pc
ricd of comparative quetude, with linn
