Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor OF the
Garland, Texas. News, has written a
letter OF congratulations to tue manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edv as follows: ';SiXteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells aud we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1887, and finding it such 4 reliable rem
edy for colds and Group, we have never
been without it in the house since that
time. We have FIVE children and have
given it to all of them with good re-
suits. Que good feature of this remedy
is that it is not disagreeable to ia ke and
our babies really like it. Another is
that it is not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdose. ! con-
graduate You upon the success OF your
remedy" For sale by The r. 8. Lor-

Letter to Dr.. c. B. Geiger.

Dear Sir: You understand chemistry:
how'd YOU like to earn 81, 1000.
Devoe observation-disclosures the name
of our paint that takes fewer gallons
than mixed paint and wears twice as
long as lead-and-oil-is made OF white
lead. white-zinc, its color, turpentine
dryer, and linseed oil.
If anv chemist finds any adulteration
in this paint we'll pay his bill and $1,000
besides.
It's nobody's business what we put in
our paint, OF course: but We want it
known. For lead-and-zinc and linseed
oil, ground together by machinery, are
the STUFF to paint with: and lead-and-oil
mixed by hand is not.
We want it known that one word de-
scribes the best paint in the world; and
that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint:
Yours truly,

ing popular measures regard
less of m crit is growing
stronger, and unless checked our
railroad facilities will become
sorely hampered. At nearly
every session there is food Of
bills which seek to control and
manage the business of the rail

that in many instances the rail

Nv Dear Sir: Since reading an edito-

nv duty to write you in reference to
same. I was very much surprised to
know that the Clarendon delegation

meeting on the Sth inst. l saw no no

present, and I am sure | received no

have gone down to the meeting and lis

heart it is the agricultural interest OF
our county and State, and as proof OF
this I have introduced in the leglsia.

had extended an invitation or even eX-
pected me to be present at your meet
ing. I feel sure that you will accept
this letter il the spirit in which it is
written. and as fair minded man must
admit that an injustice was done me: at
least the effort was made by me in a
very unmanly manner, such as to indl-

doing so.

The Correct Hereford Type.

The Hereford Book Society in
England has just completed very
useful bit of work. An applica-
tion having been made to it from
one of the colonies for an official
standard of excellence for Here
ford cattle. it appointed a COM
mittee to draw up a description
which should make the merits of
the breed known. The committee
has just made its report, which
has been adopted by the society.
At the outset it is declared to be
impossible to establish a standard
of merit for Hereford cattle indi-
Gated by points, as breeders differ
SO much in the value they attach
to certain features of the breed ;
for instance, a bull breeder would
place a very high value upon the
head of the sire he intended to
use in his herd, while the man
who wished to raise steers for
market would make this point a
secondary consideration. 1t is a
common saying that beef does not

Market Letter.

Special to The Press.
Kansas City, Mo-, Thursday
July 2S, 1904.-Quarantine re-
celpts here in four days this week
amount to $40 cars, more than
half of which came in today. To
tai cattle receipts of 1000 to 5000
per day have been cleaned up each
day this week, with prices strong
to 10 cents higher every day, but
too many came in today, and the
market is 3 to Is cents lower IN
the quarantine division. The
packers have a good many more
men at work today thar at any
time since the strike began, but
are not in u position to do any
packing yet. They are only able
to use fairly good stuff, and the
quality of cattle in the quarantine
division seems to suit present
purposes better than anything
they can get in the native dlvis-
ion. Markets are therefore more
active and prices better accord
ingly, in the quarantine division
thun on the native side. The l49
cars that came in today before 2
o'clock were all sold, but 40 cars
that got in after that will be held
over. 800 to l050lb steers sold
today at So % to 20, and heav-
Ter steers up TO $4.75, against a
top of So 90 Yesterday for better
steers. Best COWS today brought
81. So, others ranged down to 81. 20
and veal calves brought up to
SIPS. If shippers will hold their
stuff back a little, and give the
market n chance, prices will not
go much lower. Packers say the
backbone of the strike is broken
here, and by next week conditions
will be nearly normal,
