A large number of stockmen
in town this week Xmas shopping.
Frank Turner shipped car Of
horses out of Deming this week
to Texas.
Walter Jones, of Cooks, this
week shipped two car loads of
butcher cattle to Tucson.
W. J. Wamel sent a car load
of fat cows and steers to his
Douglass meat market on last
Monday.
The advance in the price Of
cattle on the big markets is in
deed gratifying to the raiser all
over the west.
The recent big fire in the Pan
handle of Western Texas caused
considerable loss of stock. 1t is
estimated that at least three hun
dred head of cattle were burned
to death.
The Foster Bros, Of the MINI
bres, came in on the 10th with
eighty head Of fat calves, which
were taken to Albuquerque by
Walter O'Brien, the butcher at
that place.
Senator Culberson, of Texas.
says the cattle raisers are suffer-
ing more extensive damage at
this time from shortage Of cars
and bad service from the trans
portation companies than from
the diseases Of cattle, limited
markets and ali other causes
combined.
The Supreme Court of the US.
holds the quarantine order Of Sec.
Wilson TO be unconstitutional be-
cause it covered state as well as
interstate movements of cattle.
The decision was handed down
in the Edwards and McKendree
case originating in Kentucky.
During the coming spring S. NJ.

partment of Agriculture, will en-.
deavor to introduce into South
west Texas a new kind of grass,
which is to marked degree

Iuxuriant forage plant. The grass
which he wishes to introduce is
the Guinea grass. For the last
thirty years it has been the sta
pie forage grass of Cuba and
other islands of the West Indies
and Southern Florida.
The condemning of 100 head of
sheep by city meat inspectors at
Philadelphia recently is to be
followed by an investigation by
the federal authorities. The

~ Ceremony of Carrying the Purse
In the House of Lords.

f0e Ceremony of Carrying the Purse
In the House of Lords.
Whon the lord chancellor enters the
house of lords to preside owe its 10
Uberations he is accompanied by his
purse bearer" This functionary, how
ever, does not carry the purse of the
tord chancellor, which would be q
welghty responsibility, as his lordship
draws u salary of 100000 a year. The
purse the purse bearer" solemnly car
ries as arrayed in court dress, he pre-
cedes the lord chancellor to and frolr
the house Of lords is a gorgeous satchel
embroidered with the royal arms and
other heraldic devices in white and
gold and lined with the richest silk
1t is supposed t. contain the great seal.
As a matter Of fact, that emblem Of a
mighty sovereignty is never in the
satchel. If it were, the responsibility
Of the purse bearer would be great
much greater indeed than IL he had to
bear q purse that carried a salary of
10000 a year.
The ceremony Of carrying the purse
III the house Of lords is but one Of the
many venerable tictions which play a
picturesque part in the parliamentary
procedure. The purse is placed on the
woo,sack. 1t indicates that the lord
chancellor is in possession of the great
seal and therefore entitled to perform
his duties as speaker Of the house Of
lords.-Lordon Globe.

but it is a style easier fitted than the
dart coats. After the coat is fitted one
has only to apply the plat over the
seam and the garment is practically
finished. The collar may or may not
be used, just as one desires. The
sleeve is finished with a box plat also
and the whole makeup Of the coat
is generally good. Any woman can
make such a coat as this, and it will
be a good fitting one too. The shops
are full OF short lengths now that can
be bought very reasonably and are
just the thing for separate jackets,
This model may be used as the coat to
a suit, and any skirt will go nicely
with it. Covert cloth, silk or any coat
material may be used.

NOT WORTH THE LIVING
Sorry Condition of Many Today, Lib
sral Offer By scallin Bros.

Those who never have any stomach
troubles and whose digestion is like
that of an ostrich cannot possibly
understand the sorry condition of
many in Mitchell today.
Lif" does not seem worth the liv-
ing they bear up with nervous i1ri-
tation, sleeplessness. pain and misery
in the stomach, headaches, back
aches, and have a constant fear that
what they eat is going to disagree
With them and cause still greater dis
trCSS.
In Mi-o-na there is 4 remedy that
restores the lost functions of the
digestive system, revives tagging
nutrition, and aids in the assimi-
lation OF food. This remedy soothes
and heals the initiated and infamed
walls o! the stomach, strengthen the
nerve centers Of the digestive sys-
tenn, and makes a permanent and
positive cure in all forms Of stom-
ach trouble, excepting cancer
Scallin Bros. make > very liberia

giving a guarantee with every so
cent box they sell that if the remedy
does not give satisfaction, it will
cost nothing. Begin its use at
once, and see how quickly you will
get relief.

The season. Combs.

In the hair this winter women will
wear two combs in the back, the lower
one smaller than the upper, and both
jeweled at the top. These will be "a
ried by the old colonial type of comb
for q different style of couture. and it
is more than probable that the colonial
comb will share favor with it's twin
sister, the Spanish comb, high and
broad, and intended to be used effec-
lively in draping the mantilla upon the
head. AS mantles will be among the
smart winter styles, the Spanish comb
will be practically inevitable, although
as yet not in vogue.

the VOTERS Of MITCHELL

Having permitted the use of my
name for the nomination OF city
mayor, | deem it but tair and just
to my many friends in Mitchell, who
have known me for nearly % years,
that / declare my position on some
OF the most important questions be-
fore us as a city TO-DAY. and should |
be fortunate enough 10 receive the
nomination and election, | pledge
/ myself to the following principles and
shall do my uttermost TO see them
carried out:
First-I am in favor of u license
law as now in existence. and believe
it is liberal enough to permit any set
OF men to do business under it with
out violating same by selling to
habitual drunkar is or minors, or by
keeping any devices to attract crowds,
OIL by selling after hours or by open
ing on Sundays.
Second-I am in favor of a strict
enforcement of all laws and should
the people of Mitchell vote NO
LICENSE at the coming spring cleo
ton. they can rely on me to do my
best to enforce the same.
Third-I realize that Mitchell has
passed her experimental stage, and
now all that we do must be done.for
the perpetual up-building OF our
city, and along this line probably
there is 40 one thing OF greater
necessity than an efficient fire depart
ment, for in the absence of the same,
all of our many years OF hard work
could be destroyed in a few hours
as was shown by the destructive fire
in Sioux City, in the face of the
fact that the city has a paid aud we'll
equipped department., and along this
line / shall do my very best to make
the Mitchell fire department second
to none in the northwest.
FOURTH believe That ali work
done 10y state, county or city should
be an open book to any taxpayer at
any tine. The city council is only
the servant of the people and their
Official actions should be no secret
but should te published monthly so
that any taxpayer can know what is
being done
Fifth-We have gone through the
exciting capital campaign and it now
behooves us to put the thumb-screw
on all extravagances and live within
our means and pay OFF our indebted
ness as rapidly as we can.
SiXth-I am unalterably opposed to
gambling in any form, and along
this line [ was in hopes that anti
gambling would win out i'm Sioux
City Monday last.
SEVENTH oppose the opening or
running Of houses OF i'll fame. or the
harboring Of the so-called "roomers''
anywhere in our town.
Eighth-Should l be successful at
the polls, l shall do my hest to get a
good set of officers. and as fast as it
is shown me that any Of my police
force passes any violations of the law
with a 'blind eye'' or ''deaf ear"
his official head will drop at once.
Ninth oppose the dishinp out
of public franchises Unfortunately
and to all applicants, but believe
that Mitchell, just as oon as possible.
should own and operate everything i'm
the way of public necessities. | fully
realize that the mayor Is only ONE
with d city council OF eight, bnt have
confidence in the people of Mitchell
that they will elect men to the
council who will be Only too glad to
cooperate with the mayor along
these lines.
Respectfully.
