look for a brisk demand at this
weeks sale. especially for business
chunks and farm mares. l don't mean
that prices will necessarily be higher,
but the buying will be active.
However, our receipts will not likely
be very large. as one of our largest con-
signors Mr.. Lloyd Of Williamsburg will
have no horses here until after he holds
his annual sale at home, for which he
is picking up horses now. So feel safe
in advising all who have horses to sell
to have them here this week, as we will
need them.
Hamilton Bros. Of Bridgeport Conn,
will be among the new buyers present
and farmers from over surrounding
counties are now attending Our sales,
picking up work stock for the coming
sea son. @

HUERTA LANDS
CARGO OF arms
Agreement to Suspend Hostihties
Prevents American Interference
GERMAN SHIPS CARRY ARMS
Ammunition Landed at Puerto Mex
leo, Open Port, and United
States Feared to Cloud
Mediation

washington, May 2S.-Ammuni-
ton consigned to the Huerta gov
eminent in Mexico which had been
kept in the hold of the German
steamship Ypiranga ever since the
American occupation of Vera Cruz
has been landed at Puerto Mexico
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz ca
bled this information to the state
department and it also was reported
from other sources to the war de-
partment that arms consigned to
Huerta had been landed at Puerto
Mexico from the German steamer
Bavaria. Both steamers belong to
the Hamburg-American line.
No effort to prevent the delivery
Of the ammunition consignment was
made by officials of the United
States. Puerto Mexico being an open
port and the United States having
agreed to a suspension of hostilities
in the mediation of the Mexico i'm
broglio at Niagara Falls. 1t was
made plain at the state department
that the only way for the United
States government to have prevent
ed the shipment of arms through
Puerto Mexico would have been tt
seize the customs house there al
was done at Vera Cruz when tn
Ypiranga was about to land ne
cargo at that port. This Woul'
have been an open violation OF tn
suspension of hostilities and woul'
have disrupted mediation at once
The delivery of these cargoe
aroused considerable speculation, Il
view of the fact that arms on boar
the Hamburg-American ship kron
prinzessin Cecilie, consigned t
Huerta through Puerto Mexico sew
eral weeks ago, were turned bac
on orders of officials of the steam
ship company at Havana. At tina
time the Bavaria was reported t
be ON the way with its cargo an
the announcement was made fro1
the same source that the ammun
ton would not be landed upon OF
ders of the steamship company.

GrAin Bayers slust Not Uss Cars %
Store tho Wheat

Topeka, May 2s.-Grain buyers
will be forbidden to use freight cars
for storage purposes this year. as
they have done in the past. The pub
lie utilities commission will take a
hand In the matter and see that
the cars are kept on the move both
ways.
every year Kansas railroads face
a car shortage in handling the wheat
crop" said Chairman Foley. This
year 1t threatens to be worse than
usual, although the roads inform
me that they are straining every
nerve to have every available car
in service. Cooperation among the
shippers, the railroads. and the
consignee will do much to mitigate
the evil.
EVERY car OF wheat should be
unloaded as quickly as II arrives al
its destination. The empties should
be sent back within twenty-fouI
hours after the car of wheat is on
the siding ready to unload. With
a wheat crop prospect of from 1885,
900, 900 to 2OO.O00.O0O bushels, II
is particularly necessary this year
that every one connected with the
handling Of wheat should run or
the high, so to speak"

ANOTHER FAKE CHOLERA CURE
Department of Agriculture Warns
Against Buying "Be0etoi"

Washington, May 29.-Evidenee
of what seems a we'll organized
campaign to delude farmers into
buying an alleged cure for hog
cholera, under the impression that
this has been Investigated and APP
proved by the government, has
reached the department of agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medi-
cine, BenetoI by name, are being
sent out widespread to newspapers.
These articles are so worded that
IL appears as If the department OF
agriculture had received reports
from the state of Minnesota show
ing the medicine to be beneficial
As a matter of fact the one report
received by the department was an
! unofficial and unsolicited statement
sent presumably from the promot-
ers themselves. The department at
taches no Importance whatsoever to
this statement. 1t has no reason
70 believe in the efficiency OF any
proprietary cure for hog cholera ana
does not recommend any. Under
certain conditions it urges farmers
to protect their stock with anti-hog
cholera serum but that is all.
