A Few Facts For Cattle Dealers
It has Iseexirepcatedly
demonstrated in
the paxt that
SIOUX CITY IA
Stands at top as a market for Range Feeders
You can satisfy yourself as to the truth of that dlarement by
comparing the saies at Sioux City last year with those at any other
competitive market You can also ask your neighbors who have sold
ca ttle at Sioux City This year Sioux City is in the field for fat cat
tle as well as feeders The great bejf slaughtering plant of the
Cudahy Packing Co is ready for business
The capacity of the Stock Yards has been
greatly increased and you will find
excellent facilities for handling
v your business
No charges except for feed ordered if your cattle are not sold on our market

Every time Ed Clarke savs he could
have had the democratic nomination
for county attorney he insults the demo
crats of our county
It was the individual not the sex
which made a good superintendent of
Miss Stoner This fact will not be lost
sight of on election day
The republicans of the 58d represen
tative district have nominated A G
Fisher for repi eseutative The regu
lar nominee J II Jones having with
draw from the race
Everybody is now singing Pull for
the Shore This doesnt mean that a
religious revival has struck the 52d
district It means that the voters
know a good man for representative
when they see him
lie was nominated by the party
that stands for principle says the Re
publican of its candidate for represen
tative Shades of Bartley Moore
Mosher Alger and every other republi
can saint are called upon to witness
this and testify to a waiting multitude
what that principle is
Ive got ten bottles of beer a gallon
of wine and a gallon of whiskey and
Im going up to get the d d Dutch
to vote for Clarke remarked a repub
lican politician a short time since
Our worthy German friends will show
this politician that they are not
hogs to be bribed with swill
The Chadron Journal is way behind
the times If it had not been it would
never have published the oleomagarine
story on the pops Tell it round among
the people that the republicans in 1893
1896 purchased for state institutions
over 16000 pounds of oleo several tons
of which were fed to the old soldiers
We remember that last year and two
years ago a certain man in this town
roared like a stuck porker because he
thought another man would not sup
port the free silver ticket in its entirety
Today that man is openly campaigning
for the republican ticket and still
claims to be a free silver man Won
der what his influence amounts to
A M Morrissey has changed his
postoffice address but twice in his life
Chadron is crowded with attorneys
ralentine offered a good field for a
good attorney Mr Morrissey now
has a larger law practice thau any
other attorney in the county with the
possibe exception of Judge Walcott
Why then should tlie charge be made
that he is here only for office and if
defeated will move away V After eec
tion Mr Clarke can accept the offer of
the Omaha lawyer with whom he con
templated forming a partnership prior
to the republican convention
People of Cherry county do not take
kindly to the efforts of the spoils gang
to force upon them for office men who
have scarcely resided in the county a
sufficient length of time to gain a resi
dence It is frequently remarked by
voters of this county l egardless of
politics that they have no use for and
will not support carpet baggers who
come here only for the purpose of se
curing an office if possible It is not
strange then why voters are so unani
mous in saing they will support for
county attorney E D Clarke a man
they know and one they have tried and
found true in preference to a stranger
Republican
We presume from the fact that Ed
Clarke is mentioned that heustrangerJ
referred to above is A M Morrissey
and the spoils element is the fusion
parties If this is true it is laughable
Mr Morrissey has been a resident oi
Valentine since last January He has
never before run for office and the
charge of carpet bagger coming from
a republican is one of the nerviest
things imaginable And to think of
Ed Clarke having been tried and
found true fairlv eclipses the efforts
of the most renowned humorists of the
century Ed wont make that claim
for himself The only thing he has
ever been found true to is the republi
can party and we believe he would
sacrifice the bast friend he ever had if
politics was involved The Republi
can effort is excruciatingly funny
James Parker the youn

the btokoo
ranch east of here has purchased 500
sheep from the Aguew brothers ranch
unauron j onrnai
Shelby D Heed was up from his
Cheyenne river ranch last week and
reports feed short down in that country
partly due to drouth and partly to the
steady encroachments of the sheepmen
He stated to the Stockman that quar
rels between cattlemen and sheep grow
ers -were of a frequent occurrence and
that both go armed with a view to
protecting
Stockman
their rights Rapid City
The Spearfish Register says that the
notorious Currey gang of Belle Fourche
bank robbery fame are again on the
rampage They have now turned their
talents to robbing postoffices and steal
ing horses It would be well for the
boys to remember that Uncle Sam
plays no favorites and we hereby
notify them that there is a reward of
2500 offered for them dead or alive

There was a good run of cattle to
open the week 230 cars G377 head
This was nearly 1000 short of last
Monday but hardly so much of a falling
off as might have been expected after
the weakness displayed at the close of
last week at all points Everything
came from the west the supply not in
eluding a single loa I of corn fed or na
tive beef and while there was a fair
display of beef among the rangers and
of cows the big end of the offerings
were on the stocker and feeder order
and more desirable for that purpose
than for tne slaughter house The
effect of the break in prices was more
plainly demonstrated at Chicago than
at any other point her receipts being
only 12500 as against 21000 on last
Monday Drovers Journal October 10
Purdue University has sent out a
bulletin describing a disease called sore
mouth in cattle which has appeared in
several localities The symptoms are
as follows The animal ceases eating
stands and frequently champs the jaws
and saliva drips from the corners of the
mouth The muzzle has a peculiar
brownish hue which extends to the
nostrils and to the inside of the lips
The inside of the lips gums pads and
sides of the tongue become reddish
The tongue swells sometimes to such
an extent as to keep the mouth open
There is a very disagreeable odor about
the mouth After a few days the
membrane peels off the gums lips and
tongue in patches leaving them raw
There is often lameness and soreness
of the teats The disease runs its
course in from six to ten days during
which time the animal will be unable
to cat anything hard The bowels are
usually constipated The disease is
not known to be contagious The
treatment is to apply an astringent
wash Tannic acid one half ounce
borax powdered one ounce glycerine
eight ounces and water sufficient to
make a quart has been recommended
The demand for cattle to fatten is
remarkably large On a recent day
263 car loads or 8137 head of feeding
cattle were shipped from Kansas City
for fattening purposes being by long
odds the largest days movement of
feeders on record Missouri got 82
cars Kansas 71 Illinois 38 Nebraska
31 Iowa 28 and Indiana 13 The
largest single shipment was 25 cars to
a distillery at Peoria Illinois In the
Chicago market large numbers of West
ern range cattle are being sold to feed
ers at 375 to 425 A few days ago
a train of sixteen cars of thin young
stock and feeding cattle
ranging
in
weight from 400 to 1000 pounds
rived from
stock yards
Janada at the Chicago
This is the first such
shipment of any importance ever re
ceived here from the Dominion
More money is being loaned on cat
tle than ever before and cattle loans
have been reduced from 8 and 10 per
cent to 6 and 7 per cent The head of
a prominent national bank in this city
estimated that the holdings of cattle
paper bv Chicago banks last winter
were not less than 10000003 The
recent organization of the Chicago Cat
tle Loan Company with a capital stock
of 500000 was partly with a view to
directing a heavier movement of cattle
to the Chicago market since the stipu
lation is exacted that the cattle when
marketed shall be shipped to the Chi
cago stock j aids National Stockman
