A Washington special s.ys that Rep resentative Stark has be n receiving petitions in u Tinan from Wahoo , Neb. , protesting again.-t the violation of neu trality by this country iu permitting' I ' the shipment of horses aud mules to the British in South Africa for war pur poses. Upon an investigation he discovered evidence that the British government is maintaining a large remount and supply depot at Belleville , III. , where there are twelve British officers und an army of horse rubbers and where thous ands of horses are inspected and bought daily and shipped to the English trans ports at New Orleans over the Illinois Central. ' 1 he British government has leased the fair crouuds at Belleville and 80 acres adjoining and is occupying 160 .acres to carry on its work of supolyiug the English army , which is fighting the Boers.

John Spager sold ten horses to the Half-diamond E ranch. James Hunt went to Alerriroan last t week for a visit with his folks. The man who isn't satisfiedwith the way God made the horse should be compelled to use an automobile. A man can do two separate things at once.
