hduioe % Cattle feAders

CoLuMHiA, June TO To the end OF
advising in the matter u selection Of
cattle for b~eef-feeders, II. u. Mumford
professor Of agriculture IN the State
Agricultural College, has given out
some valuable hints % Missouri farm
ers and stockmen. Mr. Mumford says
that the ultimate profit from feeding
any class Of farm animals will depend
primarily upon tao fundamental fac
tors. These are the conformation or
type Of the animal and the age AZ the
time Of fattening.
A good feeder he describes With a
strong back and a straight top line.
The under line should be approximate
ly straight, and especially should 1t be
carried back by q low flank. Above
all things in connection with straight,
uniform and parallel lines, insist upon
a deep and broad frame, giving the
general appearance Of a low-set and
blocky form. This, combined with a
certain elasticity OF movement and a
vigorous action, giving the animals a
stylish appearance, is a valuable char
acter and completes his description Of
the high.bred feeders, costing no more
to keep than the scrub, yet bringing
returns far better.

MEXICO BOY MURDERED.
Clip Railey, Formerly Of This City,
Shot at Kicwa, /. T.

From the Sweet Springs Herald
A telegram from kiOwa, /. T., Mon
day TO Mrs. A. P. Wilson, Of this
place, announced the death OF her
brother, J.. G. Raiiey, aud requested
her immediate presence. She, in
company with her sister, Mrs. Bar
bour, left for the territory Monday at
noon.
Below isa telegram from South Nc
Alester, /. T., to the Kansas City
journal dated Monday, june ?, which
explains itself:
''The town Of Kiowa is full Of ex-
citement over the killing OF J.. G..
Railey, a travelling salesman for a
Cincinnati clothing house, residing
there, by Postmaster Charles Collard.
Searching parties have been securing
the country since yesterday afternoon,
when the killing occurred. Railey
was shot while standing in his own
yard leaning on a gate. Eye witness
es TO the tragedy proclaim it deliber-
ate murder without pr~oyocation. Raj
ley and his wife had, a few minutes
before the killing, come down the
street and stopped where Collard,
with a few companions who had evi-
IDENTIFY been drinking, were beating an
~itinerant painter. Railey pleaded
with the men to desist and warned
them that such proceedings on sun
day would cause trouble. His pacific
efforts were resented and he was told
70 go about his own business. lie and
his wife crossed the street to Their
home and Mrs. Railey entered the
house. Railey fingered at the gate
and leaned upon the fence with his el.
bow. Collard came out Of his broth.
er's drug store, occupied also by The
post Office, and leYeled a Marlin rife
at Railey and fired, the ball entering
the peacemaker's arm and passing on
through bis body. He lived forty
minutes.
HCollard seemed sobered by his deed
and waving aside the crowd with
menacing gestures with his rifle, he
mounted his horse and rode away at a
gaIlop. Several bystanders fired shots
at the fugitive with intention to Grip
pie his horse, but neither rider nor
steed was apparently injured. The
dead man had Travelled in the terrific
~ for twenty years;he is better known
as Clip Railcy."
From the above It looks like Mr..
Railey was murdered in cold blood.
He leaves a wife and FIVE little
children, the youngest being twin
girls, born last March.
The Herald takes the liberty Of ex-
tending the sympathy of the entire
community 70 the bereaycd wife and
relatives and especially 70 Mrs. viii
