for every dollar paid on subscription, whether

A petition is being circulated with
the object of having passenger trains
Nob. 35 and 36 stop at this point and
for other improvements in the service
at this point. The request is so reas
onable and just that there can be no
doubt of its being granted. Making
passengers lay over in Alliance from
early morning till afternoon is a very
great inconvenience, besides being ex
pensive, and compelling people to stay
overnight there and lose the better part
of two days when perhaps a few hours
would enable them to transact their
business, is ridiculous. All very tine
for Alliance, but there are other peb

Short Horn Bulls for Sale
I have been in the stock business for
a good many years in this country.
Therefore when I selected my Short
Horn cattle three years ago from sev
eral eastern states, I selected them with
this end in view to give satisfaction to
the ranchers. In the care of my stock,
from the start. I have worked for this
end. The head of my herd was sired
by the animal that took second place
at the St. Louis World's Fair as a
senior calf. All the shelter that my
cattle are accustomed to is an open
shed in time of storm. They have
had no grain, but plenty of good prairie
hay. I have some young bulls for
sale, raised under these conditions. I
narnestlv solicit the correspondence of
anyone interested in first class hardy
Short Horn cattle. James B. Limn,
