Big Sale of Cattle.

Among those who attended the
Great Combination Sale of thorough
bred registered shorthorn cattle and
Shropshire sheep at Hagerstown last
week from this vicinity were &. ii.
Reinhart, ]. l.. Athey, Thomas and
Charles Hammond, Chas. F. Byers, E.
Rush Turner, L. H. Moler and Thos.
Byers. Messrs. Remnant, Athey and
the Messrs. Hammond got some nice
plum" in the way of registered cattle
and sheep. Mr.. Roger, from the Lee
town neighborhood, as well as Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Arnett and others from
the lower end of the county, got some
choice cattle. The sale, as whole,
we understand, was very satisfactory.
Most of the stock was in fine condl-
ton and well pedigreed, consequently
brought fancy prices. Calves brought
as much as $40. The best cows and
bulls went at about $3.50. The sale
was we'll attended and more than like
ly will be an annual business at that
point. We hope to see others inter-
ested in this enterprise of stocking
with registered stock Of some kind.
Nothing shows more thrift than to see
our fertile farms feeding and pastur-
ing fine horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
Let the good work go on.

Her fife was asked
But God denied.

Government Charged With
Shrewd Politics.

Dawson, sept. 4.-The opposition 20 the
administration eh1rgs that the govern
msnt Is delaving the writ tor an election
In the Yukon, hoping that Gov. Ross will
recover sufficiently to stand for election
himself. The opinion IS freslv expressed
that Gov Ross Is the Only llbsrll In the
district who could possibly win. They
charge also that the government Is very
anxious 10 carry the Yukon, because the
government here has been the one weak
point In the LauTisr sdmlnlsir ,tlon. The
dissatisfaction OF the Nlondlkers and the
scandals growing out Of the Yukon have
ever been a source Of strength to the op-
position, and Il Is hoped by the govern
ment that Il will be able to point to a sub
stantlal liberal maj,rity at the election rs
a vlndlcatlon should any further chllgss
Be made. This Is assigned as the reason
the government desires Gov. Roos TO be a
candidate, 50 badly that II Is willing to de-
