Il. S. Hall Of Sedgwick was at the Yards

ers.
Marsh Kanaval. who has been in the
ofiicc Of W. n Paugh & Co. FOR some
time has gone to Chicago to take
course IN the Northwestern university.
The boys at the yards viii miss him
". II. Paugh yesterday received q let
ter from Frank Rockefeller in which he
stated that among the fifty cattle he
would bring To the Wichita carnival
would be his fine bull that cost s. 600.
Mr.. Rockefeller said ne did not like to
take the chance of shipping him, but had
concluded to do SO.
Some cattle men were talking about the
money they had made feeding cattle yes
best pront he had ever made. n the fail
OF 1888 John kibby. then OF Augusta, now
of this city. came over TO the Union stock

l. =. Dotson OF DclanO township. one
Of the best stock feeders of this county.
was in the city yesterday lie says he
viii feed 100 head Of cattle this coming

Mr. Dotson is favorable to what he calls
late feeding-that u.s. putting the cattle one
fun feed late in the winter and running
them through and finish on grass
He saws the price Of corn win cut some
figure in next winters feeding He says
the farmers viii not market their corn
freely unless they set good price for it.
The failure last year has taught the
farmers to keep a good stock of corn on
hand. Then he thinks times are different
now TO what they were several years
ago Then the farmers had to sell corn
TO pay their debts but now il is different.
If the farmer is short OF money he can
90 20 the bank and borrow at low rate
Of interest and ne sells his grain or stock

Aine of double, or 40 kilowatts'
and submitted propositions on two
Tor three machines Of that power
ranging in cost from ST. to 81
+ 800. These machines will weigh
about 10000 pounds. The senti-
ment of the Board indicated that a
new DYNAMO was needed and would
be supplied as soon as practicable.
Mr.. Caldwell made a few remarks
respecting the COW law, He said
he felt obliged to recognize the
rights of the majority, but only
about 100 out of $50 votes in the
city election on the 4th of this
month had registered against the
COW law, and he thought some
further expression from the people
would be advisable before the law
was repealed.
The Mayor stated, IN accordance
with his announcement, that he did
not make the race upon the ques-
ton of the repeal of the COW law'
but if the people saw fit to provide
a separate box and vote for its re-
peal he would do all in his power to
accomplish that result. The vote

DOWN ON THE OLD PLANTATION

Tx Gov. Taylor has been back
again with his perennial good
humor the sunshine of laughter
and the music of his prose and
song This time he gave US "The
Old Plantation, his latest creation
supplemented by a quartette of
male voices. .Our Bob" seems to
be growing handsomer, as ''world
goes round and round. Perhaps
it is the result of a comparison be-
tween the old widoWer Of his last
visit and the well-groomed appear
ance of the husband who is recently
married to a goodlooking widow
He reminded us then of deserted
old bachelor (and there are those
probably who Will give us credit of
knowing something of an old bache-
lor, and a bald headed one at that),
uncared for and unkempt, bordering
on depravity aud despair Now,
he seems to have returned to June
time and the summer of life.
The lecture is like bouquet of
sweet forget-me-nots- The Old
Plantation dream of a paradise of
flowers and joyous birds of spring.
He carries us among the tancies of
his own happy imagination and
leads us where 1.-The frost is on the
pumpkin and the folders i'll the
shock; to the cold swimmin' hole"
of Riley's boyhood dreams, and we
see the schoolhouse across the way,
the grape vine swing just big
enough for two; and over the fields
and through the meadows in pan
Drama of beautiful imagery he takes
us down-on the old plantation.
Like Joe Jefferson with his jolly
old RIP" that great soul of come
dy, and Sol Smith Russell, the EN-
bodiment of quaint, sparkling
wholesome humor, he is a thing OF
beauty and a JOY forever, boon to
mankind, and benefactor of his
race.
His lectures are always new and
full of human interest, and we ken
it will be sad day in the Southland
when this magnificent intellect
passes out from the life of the plat
form.
