THE LOCO WEED.
A True Narcotic-How Animals Ac.
aufre the Loco Habit.

Qufre the Loco
The white loco weed Is q small pea
like plant six inches to a foot high'
with conspicuous white or cream COL
ored flowers from thick, woody, per-
sistent root. The white loco is dis
trfbuted over nearly the whole plains
region Of the United States from Al
berta and Assiniboia south into Mex
leo and from Minnesota and Kansas
westward to the Rockies. Extensive
losses of stock attributed to this spe-
cies are reported In Mexico, Colorado
and Montana and to a less extent In
most Of the other states embraced IN
the region mentioned. In southern Cal
ifornia and some other states the loco
disease is attributed to other plants
and in particular to two species or as
tragalus.
The loco is q slow poison and appears
to affect primarily the nervous system,
so that animals addicted to the haolt
become stupid, wander from the he7u,
step high, their eyes are CLASSY, their
front teeth grow long and become
loose, their coat becomes shaggy, anu
they seek the loco weed and VIII eat
nothing else If it can be obtained.
They not only eat the plant itself, but
dig for the roots with their hoofs. They
appear to have false ideas of form,
size and distance, and horses in pardc-
uIar when they get hot or exhausted
are apt to become frantic; whence the
term '1oco" or "crazy" has been ap-
piled to the disease.
A careful study Of the subject seems
to show that 1t is the lambs and year
lIngs that are chiefly affected; old sheep
but rarely and then on ranges where
the loco is abundant and other forage
scant. Also 1t is usually colts that ac-
quire the loco habit, and the adult
horses are much less apt to become ad-
dicted to it. This is due to the fact
that the loco plant is in full bloom
during May and June when the lambs
and colts are just learning to Craze,
and the conspicuous white flowers and
their sweetish taste serve to attract
them, while the intoxicating effects OF
the poison are more easily fixed In
their system.
The loco poison is true narcotic IN
its effects and appears to afford GER

Around the bases of the columns were constructed wide circular divans Turkey red in color.
 The broad portico, between the patio and the main wall was also brilliantly illuminated and artisti- cally decorated. The rsgas in the ceiling overhead were covered with the national colors, and pendant hundreds of small guidons of the same colors.

A SCENE OF sPLENDoR
The Great Ball in Honor of Don Ramon Corral at the Palace of Government jn Hermosiiio. A Most Notable Occasion.

Last Saturday night there was given in the great court of the Polario det Gobsefmo at Hermosillo,l the final and most splendid of the magnificent series of entertain ments given in honor Of Don Ramon Corral, vice. president elect of Mexico, during his visit, closed this week, to his native state--a grand ball--a scene ofunparalleled splendor, unriyalled magnifcence, seldom equalled, and never ex- celled.
 The great court of the Palace of Government (State Capital which K SSxl04 feet, in the center an open patio 4Sx60 feet, had been converted into veritable section nf fairy land. Entering the court through the broad corridor leading from the main entrance of the Palace, the visitor faces the wide stairway leading up to the second story of the building. above which m exquisite mural painting pre-. sented a beautiful and life like re- presentation of mountain water fall, tumbling the rioting. rushing waters seemingly on down the stair case in d foaming cascade to the very floor of the ballroom-the effect being produced by a very artistic arrangement of silyered paper Upon each side of the sil- very cascade rustic railings led up the staircase, by which the bands, and others having to do 50 could mount to the broad porch above, surrounding the patio upon all sides, which served as a gallery that was crowded with delighted spectators.
 Over the entrance to the great staircase, with its charming water effect, was sprung a great arch fair lv blazing with electric lights, sup ported upon each side by a smaller arch, likewise magniticently illum- mated, the one upon the left hav- ing life sized portrait of Mrs. Corral, that upon the right conn panlon portrait of Don Ramon himself. Surrounding the portrait of Mrs. Corral the arch was filled with oleander branches, the flowers and leaves making q solid bank of pink and green The other arch was banked about the picture iD the same way with evergreen. Over the arches, in great golden letters, was the inscription

 Overhead the open patio had been roofed with canvass, and in the center, sixty feet above the floor, there blazed a great star of electricity, surrounded by an im- mense blazing circle of light, twelve feet or more in diameter. Fast ened to the edges of the circle completing it's entire cireumfer- ence, were the ends of great streamers of the national colors. green white and red, each sus- pended at the other end from the edge of the surrounding gallery, and hanging in graceful sweep between the circle above and the base of the gallery halustrade, which latter was twined with the national colors.

cothran & Co.'S Market Letter.


A nine point decline in the Liverpool
market as a result of a short session of
trading as far in excess of all logical
expectations.
The New York selling orders were stated
to have been the cause Of depression.
Spot offered considerably more resistance,
depreciating only one point on sales of
5000 bales.
Considering the rather gloomy foreign
news our market opened higher than ex-
pected and for a short period showed 3
tendency to improve. the buying being
principally for account OF recent shorts,
and covering with contract spots sold TO
spinners.
Later. Values eased temporarily on re-
ported heavy selling for Wall street ac-
counts. the range OF fluctuations was mar
row, however, and steady market pre-
vailed Both the visible supply figures
and small mills taking for the week
were bearish features, the latter proba-
bly, deceptively so, as the mills are known
to have contracted for full supplies COW
ering deliveries some months ahead. and
the smaller talSings now simply mean
larger figures in subsequent weeks. There
remain few If any reasons TO expect
other than a satisfactory business In dry
goods. Stocks are low and buyers here
tofore have only purchased in fullfilment
of immediate requirements. Mills are
still unwilling to fully meet the reduc-
lions justified by the decreased price of
raw material and the demand has been
sufficient but we think with approximate
ly six million bales of cotton yet to come
into sight, they are more than fully neu-
tralized. That some gloominess at the
present low levels are prospects, should be
expressed Is natural. and as one planter
writes to his New Orleans correspondent
"Of all sad words OF tongue or pen, the
saddles are these we waited for ten. "
