SAC CITY , la. , , Oct. 18. ( Special. ) t
northwestern Iowa farmer who vote
, the wrong ticket in 1892 declare
after the Wilson bill began to tel
on the Hock industry that he dldn'
have the courage to look a sheep In the face
Ho felt that the wool had been pulled eve
bis eyes pretty effectually. The effect o
democratic legislation on the Industry I
tlll fresh In the memory of all , nnd partle
ularly of those directly Interested. 1
"didn't do a thing" to the sheep growers
One of them advised that the only way t
lessen the disaster was for the flockmaste
to cut the throats of his sheep. This regio
did not suffer so severely as others mor
largely concerned , but the sheep Industr
of South Dakota , which was very promlsln
and had been demonstrated to bo adapte
to the counrty , was hit hard.
How things have changed Is shown In th
fact that some democratic papers are n
longer afraid to mention the sheep , Th
P.rlmghar Democrat of a recent date note
the shipment by a couple of local farmer
of their spring lambs of 189S to Chlcagc
"We consider this shipment of such 1m
portanco as to warrant more than passln
notice , " say tbo Democrat , and It proceed
to tell why It , o regards It. "Last fall , " I
goes on to relate , "both gentlemen pur
chased the tall-cnders of a big flock of slice
*
andeach raised about 90 per cent of lambs.
For these lambs , 121 In number , the grow
ers received $3.75 per head. "The owe
sheared $1.40 worth of wool per head nn
are now worth $4 per head. " In the oplnlo
of the Democrat "tho sheep business ha
come to stay In this country and men shoul
romombcr that any good , healthy ewe a
from $3.30 to $4 Is the best Investment the
can make , " for it declares that with decon
care "they will bring In 150 per cent profi
to any fanner. " How different from th
time not long ngo when the flockmaster wa
advised to suvo himself cost and trouble b
cutting the throats of his sheep !
But It Is not nlono sheep that arc valuabl
property for the farmer. The Prlmgha
Democrat , the same authority heretofor

cattle nnd has placed them all there , buylni
12,000 bushels of corn at 18 cents to fee- -
them. In speaking with him concernln
prospects in the cattle nnd sheep line w

man who knov.H how to feed will make a bli
thing. We will feed several thoumnd heai

Tloliet III Unit Hlmpp.
SIOUX CITY , la. , Oct. IS. ( Special. ) Th
Judicial ticket of the Fourth Judicial dlstrlc
of lown Is In a sadly mixed up state. It
condition Is such that It Is the cause of con
slderablo worry to the various candidate
and also Vo their ftlcnds nnd supporters. Th
trouble commenced when various member
of the democratic party of the district boltci
the democratic Judicial convention nnd uhei
the populists of the district also concludei
fo put n candidate In the field. It has re
suited In quite a llttlo bitterness among th
different mcmbets of the parties nnd It ha
gone to such nn extent that a profest ha
been made against the name of one Judlcla
candidate. For years past the Judiciary o
the Fourth district has been nonpartlsan-
three republican Judges and ono democr.il
The republicans wanted to combine thi
nnd so did n largo number of the democrats
Conventions hero held nt Lemurs and th
democrats nominated Judge F. R. Gnynoi
The republicans nominated William Hutch
Inson , Oeorgo W. Wakcfleld and J. F. Olivet
Then they Indorsed the nomination of Judg
F. R. Gaynor as made by t'hc ' democrats. Al
seemed to be satisfactory until n few week
ago. Then the populists In convention nom
Inated A. L , Beardsloy of Sioux City , i
democrat , ns their candidate for Judlcla
honors. Mr. Beardsley accepted the nom
inntlon nnd began his canvass. Uut sooi
came word from the democratic opponents o
Judge Gaynor that they were going to cal
a convention nnd name a candidate fo
Judge. After a fight they did this an
named young Beardsley , the populist party'
candidate. By naming him they are 1
hopes that ) he can defeat Judge Gaynoi
Now it remains for the latter to dccld
which party he Intends to cling to. Ho nm
have his nnnio placed on the rcpubllcn
ticket Instead of on the democratic. In I
also a fnct that Beardsloy may have to stan
on the populist ticket Instead of the deni
ocrarlc , ns n protest has been made In De
Molnes against his name going' ' on the dcm
ocrntlc ticket. So the way It now stand
flvo men nre seeking to secure foilr posl
tlons within the gift of the people nnd 1
Is hard to forecast ; the result.
