stamping ground.
The heavy steel has been strung
along the G. q NV from Iroquois
and from Lake Preston west, so that
the steel for the new track is all on

The national meat inspecting blu
reau has issued an order to the effect
that all cattle must be inspected at
the stock yards before they are ship
ped. This order applies 20 every

kota this ruling will be a source of a

competent and careful officers. How

probably be a strict party vote,
which, with the prohibitionist party
in Kingsbury county, is not very
heavy.
