Carving Over Cattle.

Snow is still two mouths away,
but the COW man is already busy
figuring on his chances Of getting
through with a minimum loss, says
the Denver ecord-Stockman. 1t is
remarkable what chances the COW
men will take at times, and you can
mark it down in your little book
that some of them are going to be
caught at it one of these days.
Take it up in the Dakotas and Mon.
tana, for instance. Last wintel
quite number of South Dakota
boys shipped their cattle down into
the sand hills for the winter and, as
the Irishman remarked, "ther,
never was such a winter since las
summer. Well, they have beel
sore ever since to think of tn,
money they lost by mourning thi:
unnecessary expense, and this year
they are going to stay at home Will
their cattle. They will "take tn,
chances" as they are fond of put.
ting it. And they are taking them
right, too. Say, if there should
happen along one Of those lollapa
looser winters, what a weeping ane
a waillng there would be. Not only
have they been taking southern
cattle north weeks later than ever
before, but now they are shipping
train loads of Kansas and Nebraska
drought cattle up. The grass i:
good and the cattle are cheap, is tn,
excuse. Well, we are not calamity
howlers, but it does look a great
deal like tempting providence.
OF course there is no use trying
to send in stockers or feeders at this
time, and the proper thing is to
keep the cattle showing down hay a:
long as possible, but there is danger
that this holding back process may
result in grand rush together lat
in the fall. Good fat steers ane
COWS are selling now about as well
as they will before late in the win
ter, and unless you are prepared to
carry them to February or Marcel
we would advise to let them come
as soon as they are sood enough
About three weeks from now tn
trade is looking for demand fol
cattle of quality and weight to 20 in
the feed lots. That will be a very
good time to start some of the cautl,
to market. The competition be
tween the feeder and beef buyers
will not hurt the market any.

Outlook for Horses,

While the demand for horses in
this section of the west may not
prove to be very large this fall, indi-
cations from other sections of the
country are most favorable for a
large business in range horses. The
Drovers Telegram of Kansas City
says:
1.-The time is near at hand when
the southern horse trade will be on
again in full force. Buyers have
been putting in an appearance each
week for the past month, but the
demand has not yet assumed any
large proportions, and is not enough
to Judge the amplitude of the south
ern movement this fall by it. So
far, however, dealers hive had moth
ing but encouraging signs. The
south was not blasted by drouth this
year to the extent that the middle
west was. Cotton continues to be
in favorable condition and the price
OF that staple is sufficiently high to
warrant liberal expenditures by the
planters in anticipation of crop
money. The British have been as
siduously buying up all the available
animals that they could lay their
hands on or that had strength
enough to Chamber on transport,
leaving the south with no surplus
animals whatever on hand to supply
even an iota of the planters de-
mands. This will make southern
call upon the north for horses all
the more urgent. Then again,
carbon has played no little part in
depicting the animal supply in the
south. True, it affected mules to
the greater extent, but many horses
also snccumbed to the sickness and
died. These animals will have to be
replaced by fresh supplies from the
north. Taking all these factors into
consideration, the outlook for the
southern horse trade this coming
fall and winter is most promising.
such animals have been very dull all
summer and some shippers have al
most given up handling them alto.

THE ASSASSIN TALKS WITH HIS FATHER

BUFFALO, N. y, Sept. 25.-"Woe unto
the day that brought you in the world!'
So said Paul Czolgosz to-day, addressing
his sen, Leon T. Czolgosz, the assassin Of
President Mckinley.
The meeting Of father and son took
place in the cell Of tile assassin at the
County Jail. The scenes incident to the
reunion OF the members of the Czolgosz
family stirred the assassin into demon
stration of more emotion than he had
previously shown since he came into the
gaze Of the world.
The father called at the jail accompan-
led by his daughter, Victoria, the rather
pretty sister Of the murderer, and by his
son Waldeck. The old man upon whose
family has come such shame was without
the self control Of his son. His face re-
hected the intense mental anguish he
was undergoing and his great grief gained
the sympathy who saw it.
The old man groaned in his anguish as
he walked through the gloomy Jail cor
ridors.
Waldeck, the brother Of the assassin,
held himself well under control, but his
grief was evident The assassin alone
was unmoved. The expression Of indif-
ference did not leave his weak face, and
he received the reproaches Of his father
without murmur Of defense or an ex-
preston of regret.

ing the SD annual session Of the Pres

throughout the session and considerable
routine business was transacted.
The Presbytery was called to order at
2.30 o'clock by the Rev. William M.
Schall, the retiring moderator. The Rev.
j. d. Wylie was elected stated clerk.
The rolI-call was answered by the follow
ing ministers: John D. Blake, Kent M.

ator. Retiring Moderator Schall handed

cepted the gavel and addressed the ses-

moderator, the Rev. W. NJ. Schall,
preached an eloquent sermon.
At Wednesday morning session an ap-
propriate resolution was adopted on the

the general routine business. Reports on
the home mission reduced all the ap-

The next meeting place is to be de-
cided on by the moderator and stated
clerk. 1t will very likely be beld in one

sion of the Presbytery practically closed

Physicians Aroused

Many Of the physicians in Wilmington
fear there will be an epidemic of small.
pox this winter unless stringent meas
ures are taken to prevent the disease.
Their fears are based on the fact that the
disease is now raging in Philadelphia.
Owing to the proximity Of Philadelphia
to Wilmington it is feared that it will be
almost impossible to keep it from being
carried there. It is said that the only
way to combat the disease and keep IL
from spreading in case it is brought there
is to clean up all the streets and alleys,
cut the weeds and remove the filth that
has been deposited on the vacant lots,
and last but not least, insist that the pe0-
pie Of the city become vaecinated.

THE scHrEY COURT OF INQUIRY

After daily sessions for the
past month the Court of Inquiry
asked for by Admiral Schley
does not appear to have brought
out any new evidence, nor to
have brought the matter any
nearer a solution. The only
thing developed is the fact that
Admiral Schley was kept in the
dark az to what the other officers
were doing. Whether this was
done purposely or not has not
yet appeared, but all the officers
so far placed on the stand have
admitted under the cross -exami-
nation Of mfr. feaJner that ti1 iinffor-
nation of various kinds was
withheld from the commander of
the Flying Squadron. Next week
viii probably see some Of Ad-
miral Schley's witnesses on the
stand and some interesting dis
closures may be made.
