the pa t that
Stands at top as a market for Range Feeders
Yon can satisf } ' yourself as to the truth of that starement 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
cattle at Sioux City. This year Sioux City is in the field for fat cattle
"
tle as well as feeders. The" great beef 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
your business.
No charges , except for feed ordered if your cattle are not sold on our market

With the use of oidinary judgment
at the conventions there is no reason
why the demopops of this county
should not elect their entire ticket this
fall. All canvasses for nominations
should be marked with good natnie.
and everybody should prepare to .sup
port the nominees. The disastrous ex
periment of ' 97 should not be repeated ,
hence all squabbling for place should
be discountenanced.
Only a short time ago the adminis
tration organs were publishing statis
tics by the column , but we have not as
yet noticed the following figures in any
of them. Our exports last month de
creased $8,130,523 as compared with
the same month last year , and our im
ports increased $11,411,017. For the
nine months ending March 1 , our ex
ports increased only $12,000,000 while
the imports increased almost § 4o,000-
000 , and the trade balance is $22,727.-
6215 less for the nine months than it was
for the same period last year. At this j
time we rise to ask where the Dingley
bill is at ?
As a fair sample of the insults being
daily hurled at those who are opposed
to the administration's "criminal ag
gression" ' in the Philippines , the fol
lowing from the State Journal is given :
"The insurgent Tagals would long
since have laid down their arms and
surrendered to General Otis , had it not
been for the false information conveyed
to them by these copperheads , that the
sympathies of the American people
were with them. "
The republican party has been lost
since the "bloody shirt" went out of
style in politics , and now they roll the
words "treason , " "copperhead , ' ' 4'Val-
landinghams , " "Knights of Golden
Circle , " etc. , like sweet morsels under
their tongue. The administrationists
are getting hot under the collar , at the
mess their leaders have put them in ,
and some of them are apt to swell up
and burst before long.
One year ago Tuesday , April 23,1898 ,
the country was full of enthusiasm , and
volunteers by the hundred thousand
were ready to offer themselves to fight
for the liberty of Cuba. War was de
clared on that da } ' , and soon a vast
army was organized and men all but
fought to join the boys in blue. Spain
was whipped , and the country lejoiced
over a speedy return of the soldiers ,
but this was not to be. Flushed with
victory , and with appetite whetted by
the annexation of Hawaii ( which was
accomplished not by force but by trick-
en- ) the administration reached out for
more territory , and the Philippines
were bought ( ? ) from Spain , who did
not own them. Without consulting
the inhabitants we proceeded to make
ourselves at home , and a war more
disastrous than that with Spain is the
result. It will end in American victory
but at what a price. And why should
we want victory ? Is America proud
of her conduct in the Philippines ?
Tears of pride fall for the boys who
died fighting in Cuba : tears of sorrow
fall for the dead in the Philippines.

The experience of Texas cattlemen
during the unusually long and severe
winter through which they have just
passed will be of great advantage to
them in the future. It is not likely
that any cattleman able to procure feed
will ever hereafter try to i ass through
a winter without it. after witnessing
the fact that providing it hist fall has
saved from drath so nianv thousands of
cattle. Even in the mildest of winters
liberal supplies of feed can be used

The Mill.- , Cil.Montana. . Stock
Growers'Journal fc.iys ih . ' loss in the
calf crop there this \ear his already be
come considerable and advises ih t
such losses could be obviated to u very
great extent hereafter by keeping the
bulls away from herds of cattle until
July , in order to pre\cMit cows from
calving until the grass , has started and
the weather become settled. Very
much of the February loss in Texas
was among cows with young calves and
cows heavy with calf. Later matings
would have prevented many such
losses.
The live stock sanitary boards of
Kansas and -Missouri have jointly
agreed upon a uniform system of the
inspection of cattle for transportation
from one state to the otner. Hereto
fore the quarantine regulations of the
two states have differed and an inspec
tion certificate from a Kansas inspector
would not be valid in Missouri and vice
versa , under the new rules , which are
more rigid than those that have hereto
fore prevailed , but which have the ad
vantage of uniformity , a certificate is
sued by an inspector of the one state
will be accepted in the other.
According to Hon. John F. Iluflin ,
United States consul at Anuncion ,
Paraguay , that country offers brilliant
inducements to cattle raisers. He says :
' Cattle raising offers a vast field for
the employment of capital , the profits
of which may be calculated at from 20
to 25 per cent per annum. The num
ber of cattle at present in Paraguay is
estimated at 4,000,000 , while its camps
are capable of sustaining 50,000,000.
The value of the cattle could be in
creased threefold by croosing with imp -
p rted stock. From the superior quali
ty of Paraguayan grass it has been well
established that its beef is superior even
to that of Argentina. "
The experimental shipments of frozen
meat from San Francisco to the Ha
waiian and the I hilippine islands have
given such excellent satisfaction that
an immense traffic is confidentally look
ed for by California and Nevada cattle
men. In Honolulu the California meat
has grown steadily in favor. The beef
on the island is scarce and inferior in
quality to that from California. Large
quantities lately shipped there in re
frigerator boats have ready sale among
the islandc-s. Two davs before the
arrival of one of the California steamers - !
ers the people cease buying the home j
product , preferring to wait for the
California meat. San Francisco Chron-1

The Sturgis Record learns that Hank
Smith , who is wanted for cattle stealing ,
has been apprehended in Tennessee ,
and is being held there to await the
icv.ard. The cattle association has !
$400 reward offered for him , and Mead
county added .s2UO some time ago , but
there is a question as to whether the
latter will hold now. The cattle were
driven from here to Alliance. Nebraska ,
and shipped from there. It is said that
the gentleman is also wanted for care
lessly driving stocK off from the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation-and if this is
true the United States will take care of
him to save local expense. This will
give him about twenty years. Northwestern -
