You can satisfy yourself as to the truth of that starement by
comparing the sales at Sioux City , last year , with those at any other
competitive market. You can also ask your neighbors who have sold
ca itle at Sioux City. This year Sioux City is in the field for fat cat
tle as Yvell as feeders. The great beef slaughtering plant of the
Cudahy Packing Co. is ready for business

It is said that of the eight hundred
convicts in the Kansas penitentiarynot
one is an editor. 13ut just wait till the
poor house statistics are published.
A Kansas printer recently tried his
hand at farming , but couldn't make
things Avork right , and is now back nt
the case. He had a wrong font team -
a mule and a horse and this wouldn't
justify. He safd the farmer fired him
after he had " " three ' '
"pied" or four 'col
umns" of potatoes. He showed his
limited experience b } ' asking the farm
er's wife if she A\rant ° d the hens set
leaded or solid.
Senator Thurston has taken pains
lately to reiterate his previous an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate for re-election. There really
was no need whatever of any such
statement. Mr. Thurston's recent ex
hibitions of mental and moral errati
c-ism have been sulicient to convince
the people of Nebraska that some other
place would be more suitable to his
genius rather than the stately sena
torial chambers. Norfolk News ( rep. )

The DaAY'es County Journal frequent-
Iv refers to the Alliance Grip as "the
leading democratic paper in northc.
Avest Nebraska' ' Like Bro. Julian we <
greatly admire the Grip , but as it
sometime ago publicly announced that
it Yvas through Avith partisan politics.
AYe belieY'e the Journal is unfair with
its readers AY-hen in clipping decLleJly
anti-democratic sentiments from that
paper it giA'es credit to "the leading , "
etc. We hope this admonition will
.uffice . io keep the Journal from oft'end-
m ? again.
We searched the VALENTINE
through and through this week inquest
of Bob Good's editorial opinions but
not one waste be discovered. Since
Bob announced himself as a candidate
for congress his whole time is doubtless
taken up with political care's. Chadron

Knowing as he does the misfortunes
S
which caused the lack of editorials ,
which we always deem of less impor
tance than news , the above attempted F
witticism of I3ro .Julian reflect * no
credit upon him.
The famous beef inquiry is ended.

The chief culprit , General Eagan , F
whom the report says made a "collosal
error" in judgment , has been given by
the way of punishment , a six year's va
cation and a general's full pay. Gen. in
Miles is mildlv censured for telling the
truth or because he did not tell it at
the right time and place in accordance
with military etiquette. The packers
are vindicated. Such of the soldiers
as are not dead from eating the stuff
have recovered. Alger still reigns and
everybody is happy. Itequiscat in

As the calving season is on , those
who desire to dehorn their calves by
the caustic potash process should re-
ineinber that it ought to be done when
the calf is quite young ; say , from five
to twenty days old. The process is a
simple one that anybody can pursue
with the exercise of a little care , and if
properly performed , is attended with
very little pain. Caustic potash can be
bought in sticks at any drug store , and
when not in use should be kept -in
closely stopped bottles ; otherwise they
will attract moisture aud"musli down. "
The hair should be clipped away from C
the budding horn , and then , after C"
moistening the skin with the stick of
K
potash , should be rubbed on the spot
until it is thoroughly covered , taking
special care , however , not to touch the
skin except on the one spot and in it to
have so much moisture there that drops
charged with the caustic will run down
make the face or neck sore. Anoth
method of using caustic is to take
fifty parts of caustic soda or caustic
potash , twenty-five parts of kerosene > ci
and twenty-five parts of w.iter. Make
an emulsion of these ingrc.lients by j
heating and thorough stirring , and , te
then place the mixture in a bottle hav- j cc
ing a rubber cork. Clip the hair from ; ni
about the embryo horn with a pair of j a of !
scissors so as to expose a spot about the |
size of a nickel , drop two or three drops I
the mixture on this spot and rub it
thoroughly with the rubber cork , l
The fluid must not be allowed to spread , of
however , nor run down the side of the al
i
face , for if carelessly used the horn s ,
of
may not only be killed , but the face of tj
the calf disfigured. Nonconformist. w
