He may be in sight, but he has not
been designated by the finger of des-
tiny as yet 1t strikes me as rather
idle and profitless talk to say who will
or who will not be candidate for
president in 1904, when we have got to
go thru three sessions of congress,
one congressional election and innum-
cradle state elections which might
make or unmake dozen candidates."

his cattle should die when turned into
his own stock field, and did all right
when in another. He had the stom-

Word was recently received by him
that poison was visible but how much
the information did not state. Upon
the melting of the snow he turned
the cattle out again, and some more
died. He investigated and found
piles of oats and corn in the field that
had been carried there by someone
in sacks. The oats and corn We're full
of arsenic This proved conclusively
what had caused the death of his cat
