international Live Stock Exposition.


Chicago is beginning to consider means fon
making the International Live Stock Expo
sition, to be held this fall, better than any
ever held. Over $33, 000, 600 OF live stock was
handled at the Union Stock Yards last year,
almost three hundred thousand carloads OF
live stock being received at the Chicago mar
ket during this period. This makes the city,
one of the greatest live stock centers in the
world.
The international Live Stock Exposition
has been an educational agency of the great
est value to those who have visited,the show
in recent years from the cattle ranges and
feeding grounds of the west. These sources
of supply are placed within easy reach of the
city by such trunk lines of railway as the
Chicago 4 Northwestern, which brings TO
Chicago each year 10000 carloads of live
stock, raised and fed in the territory it
reaches. The people living in this rich agIi-
cultural region, tributary to Chicago. are
evincing each year more interest in the bet
terment of their stock The exhibition at
the Union Stock Yards during the Interna-
tioHal Exposition this fall will be one of the
most notable ever seen, and its chief value
will be along educational lines, looking 10
the improving of breeds and raising of
standards, which means just so much more
money in the pockets of the producer.
Full particulars as to the program OF the
International together with announcement
of low railway rates via The Northwestern
Line will appear later.

HONORS WERE EVEN.
Although the Attorney Ran Some
what of a Risk I'm Retaliatfng
on the Judge.

John r. Eldridge, well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before justice of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use slang express
sion, had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald
In a field near the court room donkey
was feeding. just as Mr.. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray
Just a minute, Mr.. Eldridge, just min
ute" said the justice blandly Il cannot
hear two at once"
The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
the justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re.
sounded through the court room. Mr.. FL
bridge placed his hand at his ear.
s'Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?" he said in his mildest tones. There
was such an echo that could not under
stand"
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.

Cheaper Than staying mt Home.

The man who wishes to locate in the
Southwest this fall has little excuse for
staying at home, SO far as railroad rates
are concerned. The Santa Fe announces
very low one-way second-class rates to Cal
ifornia-$33 from Chicago, $25 from Kan
sas City, $50 from st. Louis, and proper
tionate reductions from the East generally.
These tickets are on sale every day until
November 80. They are being availed of
by those wishing to settle in the San
Joaquin and other great valleys OF Cali
fornia, likewise Arizona passengers. Inc
same line also offers rate of about half
fare, plus 81, one-way or round-trlp, to
the Southwest generally, the first and third
Tuesdays of each month; the last semi
monthly excursion filled every available
car. On October 20 a special bargain-coun-
ter round trip home-seekers' rate is adver-
tised for 500 from Chicago, and SIS from
Kansas City to central and eastern Texas
and to Oklahoma, also S. higher to Pecos
Valley, of New Mexico.
The mere sightseer win be more inter-
ested in the excursions to Los Angeles and
San Francisco that are booked on the
Santa Fe the latter part of October, ac-
count American Bankers Association. The
rate then, out and back, will be 5000
from Chicago, $50 from Kansas City,
and similarly reduced from other points.
Anyone may go who has the price in his
pocketbook. Special parties will take in
the Grand Canyon of Arizona, on the
way, and will be personally escorted.

StiII Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re.
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country, but there is one right here
in Franksville which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been given
to the public.
Mrs Louis Markison of this place had been
a sick woman for quite long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms of what
is generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to hear
of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that was said to be a splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to try
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
as remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine have ever known, and
have done me great deal of good"

stone, had a stronger personal follow
ing it is very likely, but Lord Sails
bury's strength lay in the confidence
which he inspired when any interns-
tional question arose. Great Britain
was almost negligeable quantity in
the councils of Europe when the lib
eral statesman was at the helm, but
every country voiced it's desires with
different tone when Lord Salisbury
was installed at the foreign Office, and
his admirable handling of such intri-
cate problems as the Fashoda ques-
ton gave the coup de grace TO the con-
temptuous talk which was at one time
current about his graceful conces-
sions.
He was the survivor of day when
the grand manner ruled in politics and
great personages steered the ships of
state. He had witnessed the last great
dramas OF European history, and was
regarded as a sort of Nestor ripe with
wisdom, rich in experience and, above
all, imbued with that great sense of
responsibility which is SO conspicu-
ously absent from the mediocrities
produced by the present democratic
regime in England.
There have been greater names in
English history than that OF Lord
Salisbury. but no minister could ever
point to so favorable a condition of the
country and the empire as that which
attended his administration. He was
scarcely reformer, and was never an
enthusiast for the new Imperialism
and yet the people prospered and the
empire became more and more of
living reality under his guidance. AS
constructive statesman he was seen at
his best in foreign affairs, and he was
most in his element, says a we'll
known writer, whenever he had to
deal viii foreign chancellors and TO
study international problems"
He embarked upon politics the inner
itor of a great tradition. Three hun
dred years ago Cecil was minister
of state. and this circumstance once
moved even Mr.. Gladstone TO write:
1--WE have in 1890, prime minister
whose ancestors were similarly en-
ployed to the great benefit of England
ten generations ago. Is not this a
SOOQ! is not TINS tie Oh lineage IOf
him link binding him to honor and
to public virtue?"
Born on February Is, 1880, Lord
Robert Cecil was the second son of the
second marquis, who was himself a
statesman of some note. having twice
held Office as cabinet minister. He
went to Elton and to Oxford and took
his B. A in 1S49. He did not oITer him
self as a candidate for honors, but he
acquitted himself so we'll in the pass
examination that he was awarded an
honorary fourth" He took an active
part in the debates of the Oxford
union. and then, leaving Oxford, I'M
dertook a long foreign tour, visiting
many of England's colonies and gain
ing at first hand a knowledge of men
and countries which at that time was
considered an all-ess entail part of the
training Of those who aspired to politi-
cal honors.
On his return to England in 1853
Lord Robert Cecil was elected fellow
of All Souls and very shortly entered
parliament, being returned unopposed
for Stamford. For 15 years he repre-
scented that constituency, and then, on

he was by no means opposed to re-
form; indeed that subject and the well
fare OF the church were the two ques-
tons which occupied him most of the
days before he became known as a
great foreign minister. With regard
to the church, he must have had many
points of resemblance to his son, Lord
Hugh Cecil. The subject that most
fired his enthusiasm was church de-
Tense. From whatever direction the
church was attacked, he was ready to
defend her with hot, uncompromising
speech. When, after Lord Beacons-
fields death in 1881, he had become
leader of the conservative party, ne

BEEcHNUTS AND WILD GAME.
Crop In the Delaware Valley Tells of
thePresence of Squirrel
and Bear.

If 1t is true, as reported, that the
beechnut crop will be an abundant one
this fall said an observant Pike county
sportsman recently, 1--WE may not expect
to have very lively season for game in
the nearby localities of the Delaware val
ley hunting region. There are various
causes to account for the fact that during
one season there is plenty of game in GER
tain districts of region where game is
known to abound and scarcity of it in
the same district the following season.
but the beechnut crop is the best general
criterion to go by in judging of such con-
ditions here.
Large areas of the backwoods of Pike,
Monroe and Wayne counties are tim
bered heavily with beech. Bechnuts,
which are the sweetest and most nutri-
tious of all mast, are tempting food for
bear, deer, grouse and squirrels But the
beech tree is capricious and uncertain
bearer and the crop is a frequent failure
And a failure of the nut crop is as a rule
a fortunate thing for the sportsman.
when the fall shooting begins in this
region if squirrels are plentiful in the
latter district we know that the beech
nut crop has failed. Squirrels will first
be found well back in the interior, and as
the season advances they appear on the
front ridges, where other nuts and mast
are quite certain to be found.
1T is so with the bear. The backwoods
mentioned, particularly those of Pike,
Monroe and Sullivan counties. are the
natural home of the black bear and that
animal will not be found much in any
other parts of the region except when
the beechnut crop is short and the bear
is roaming in search of other food, or. as
is often the case, passing through on
its way to some other beechwoods coun-
try, although such country may be hun
dreds of miles away.
"The same cause will start the deer to
travelling and send the ruffied grouse for
aging over wider areas. If there should
happen TO be also shortage in the scrub
oak acorn supply, as we'll as in the beech
nut yield, as not infrequently happens.
the game dispersion becomes still wider
and fur and feather will scarcely be
found at all in accessible places where
another season both were plentiful"
