Texas Will eat Home Meats.

Something was learned yester-
day of the intention of Swift and
Company to establish Wholesale
agencies in all the principal cities
of Texas for the disposal of their
meat products, says the Fort
Worth Register. Here in Fort
and doubtless it has been the
same in other cities in Texas,
If Il customer wanted an extra
fine cut of beef, veal or mutton,
he asked for Kansas City meat.
If the local butcher desired to
call the customers attention to
the good quality of steak or
roast, he fastened to assure him
that it was from Kansas CITY
All this will be changed when
the packing houses are ruaning
in Fort Worth, furnishing meat
to the wholesale stations of
Swift & Co. and Armour & Co.
(for without doubt both packing
companies will enter the field).
Then, the acme of perfection in
beef, veal, mutton and pork pro-
ducts will be known from the
fact it will bear a Fort Worth lab
Ell. When guests at the Oriental at
Dallas, the State House of Waco,
the Driskill ut Austin, the MAYER
lex at San Antonio or the Rice at
Houston, call for their porter
house steak for breakfast or their
roast leg of mutton for dinner,
sure of getting the best that the
market affords, they will know in
advance that the animal from
which it came was slaughtered at |
one of the Fort Worth abattoirs
and ripened in a Fort Worth cool
ing house.
The establishment of the whole

also enable the lesser towns and
cities of Texas to enjoy the eating

Kansas Steer With Diamonds in
His Stomach an Exception.

The other day when the stom-
ach of Kansas steer was cut
open it was found to contain,
among other articles of value, a
diamond brooch worth 5000.
We think that it is fair to state
to people from the effete East
who are contemplating investing
in Kansas cattle, that they must
not expect that 5000 collection
of diamonds goes with every
steer. Of course, the Kansas
plutes who are raising cattle out
in the western part of the state
are careless of leaving their dia-
monds lying about where the cat
tie can get them, but diamonds
are not regular article of diet
among Kansas cattle. There are
a good many Kansas cattlemen,
we have found, who have preiu-
dice against diamonds az feed
for stock, not so much on account
of the cost, as because of the in
digestibility of the.stones. They
tell us that they have found that
cattle fed regularly on diamonds
become more or less constipated,
and do not thrive as we'll as those
fed on Kaffir corn and alfalfa.
Successful feeders say that cattle
ought not to be givenla full feed
of diamonds more than once a

Perhaps the most noteworthy
sale of registered cattle made in
this country or in England or in
Scotland since the famed Mills
sale in New York, was announced
at the Boutwell, Shorthorn sale at
Chicago yesterday. G.. M. Casey,
of Shawnee Mound, Mo-, through
his herd manager, f. B. Mitchell,
purchased from J. B. Robbins &
Son, of Horace, Ind, the great
herd bull, Choice Goods, the I'M
defeated show COW, Ruberta and
her calf, Cicely, and calf, Claris-
sa, and the dam of Ruberta.
The price was given out Us $685.
900, and is said to be the highest
figures paid in this country since
the Mills sales. Choice Goods, it
is said, was figured at u higher
price than any bull has brought
in the last twenty years.
This acquisition, to the already
great herd of Mr.. Casey at Shaw
nee Mound, should make his herd
pre-eminently the winner at this
falls show. Certainly with the
addition of these seven head, no
Shorthorn herd i'll the country
contains more noted or higher
priced animals. Mr.. Casey is
certainly to be congratulated upon
his securing of these noted Short

BoER LEADERS NAME THEIR
PEACE TERMS
British Cabinet Holds a Meetng
to Consider Them.


London, April 16.-The Associ-
ated Press has excellent authority
for saying that up to late hour
tonight there have been no definite
developments in the matter of the
peace negotiations. The Associ-
ated Press learns that Lord Mil
ner, the British high commission
er in South Africa, has defined
certain propositions in which
peace may be almost immediately
secured, but the Cabinet at its
meeting today is said to have dis
agreed upon the merits of Lord
Miners terms.
"Sparring for time" best de-
scribes the present status of the
negotiations, neither side being
willing to risk decision which
would break off the present con-
ference. An agreement may be
reached at any moment, but this
would more likely be the result Of
semi-independent action by Lord
Miner and Lord Kitchener st
Pretoria than of the rather involy-
ed conditional decisions of the
Cabinet at London.
There Is good reason to believe
that the Beers are vigorously de-
mandlng a representative Govern.
ment and that this demand ia
opposed with equal vigor by the
British representatives.
1t is understood that the Beers
strongly objected to the long de-
lay proposed by Great Britain be-
fore representative Government
be granted to former Republics
and that they alo insist on the
number of Boer seats in the
council being specified.
1t Is expected that the Cabinet
VIII reassemble tomorrow to dis
cuss the matter further.
The British Cabinent held an
other meeting today for the pur-
pose OF considering communica-
ton from the Boer Representative
es who are now at Pretoria, and
message from Lord Miner, the
British high commissioner in
South Africa. The session was
extremely brief. After the Cabi.
nent meeting Lord Salisbury, the
premier, had an audience with
King Edward at Buckingham
Palace, and stayed to lunch with
His Majesty. The latter after
wards went to Sandringham.

communication from Lord Miner,

ing, contained the first clear
statement of the attitude of the
Boer leaders who hitherto had not
agreed upon the peace terms they
would accept.

progress of the peace negotiations.
