ADVANCE IN WBEAT Continued from Fourth Pace. to the advancement of the Texas cattle In terests undoubtedly is the quality of The cattle that come in at the back door. There has been a constant stream of very inferior stuff pouring in across the frontier, and Texas cattle growers have seen enough in the recent improvement made ln the herds of the state to learn that they can no longer afford to have the reputation of handling and selling the Mexican output. It will be perfectly legitimate to put up the bars against them when they axe Infested with ticks, and this wifl to some extent relieve the Texas cattle grower of the odium that attaches to handling the poor stuff that comes from Mexico. — lowa Homestead. * * * WDSTERN SHEEP BUSINESS. The Western sbeep business on Its. present i gigantic scale, under range conditions, Is going the way of the range cattle business. Wei! informed men. who are engaged in it, are of the opinion that, within the next half dozen years, sheep must be winter fed, as they are further East, and as catUe are com ing to be. This will, of course, mean an Im mense reduction in the size of the flocks handled. The farmer ts gradually taking all of the Western range that is worth hav ing, and It will not be many years until range stock growing wifl be a thing of the oast, and the cattle and sheep grown thare will have to be managed and cared for Just as 1? the practice elsewhere. One Wyoming sheep man has adopted a plan for wintering his sheep that will probably find a good many imitators whlfe the business is under going a transition. He has bought 600 tons of alfalfa at Goring, Neb., and will drive 6.000 of his sheep to that place to winter them. The alfalfa coat $2 a ton in the stack, but the sheep men are generally coming to realize the fact that safety and profitableness in sheep growing require winter feeding and care. Probably the time will come when every range cattle or sheep grower will own and operate a wtnter home ranch, on which both hay and grain will be grown sufficient to provide for the wants of all the stock during the winter season. Such a course will eliminate a large part oi the risks from the business, for. as it has been carried on in the past, many a man has gone into the winter with a good flock or herd and come out in the spring without any. — lowa Home- Stead. * * * SATISFACTORY TEAR FOR LIVE STOCK BREEDERS. The year just closing has been a most satisfactory one for breeders of farm stock. Hogs, although low, bave paid well. Sheep are high and the demand "or good breeding stock is_ much greater thin the supply. Horse; have shown relatively the least ac tivity, but really good stal'ions and brood mares found ready safe. In fact, toward the ciose of the year it became evident that de sirable mares ar9 becoming very scmrce. But the breeders of beef cattle are the men who have reason to rejoice, as we have noted frequently during the season. Ail stock suitable for use in foundation herds brought good prices. Herefords have led in high figures. Taking the six large Hereford auction sales at the head of the list, so far as prices are concerned, we find that -100 animals sold for an average of $385. This is remarkable when It ls remembered that the average is for animals of both sexes, ranging from calv?s to aiged animals. The sale of a Hereford bull caf-f for SI.JOO at a K*BMS City auction shows the condition of the Hereford market. The highest priced Hereford for IS9B was a $3,000 hull. Short horns are smewhat cheaper, but are never theless wasted. Taking the six highest pies for the year in this "'ass. the average is $25.1 per head. The highest price paid tor a Shorthorn was $800 for a heifer, and the most salable hufi brought *720. Pollorl- Angus cattle are gaining In txipuiarity and good prices have been received for them vvhi.e these prices are not semsation-al. they denote a most healthy condition of the live stock industry. A good nianv cattle are new on winter feed and fat hog 3 and sheep continue plentiful, yet there is a ready out let for ail meat products on both domestic and foreign account.— Orange Judd Farmer * * • THE BACON HOG GAINING FAVOR. The demand for the bacon hog by the American trade ls not very strong, but it is more pronounced than five years ago and seems to be Increasing gradually. Weights most popular range from 150 to 180. Many look for an increase in the consumption of bacon.— Orange Judd Farmer. * * • THE FEEDING OF PIGS. It certainly is unprofitable for any swine raiser to stint hia animals, as they should be made to grow every d»y. After ten days or two weeks, they „ -ufd be fed generously through their dams, and at three .or four weeks provided with a place where they can obtain, unmolested, a little feed of slop and soaked shel'ed corn. Keep them growing every day. and at an early age they will be r^ady for the market at a profit to the raiser. If the pig, are allowed to stop growing and become stunted, it ia very hard to start them aa.w, not to mention the loss of feed, time and labor. Pigs inclosed m a dry tot or yard, and given only dry hirrd corn and hard water, seldom yield a hand some profit. They need a variety of food auch as will expand the stomach and at the same time be cooling to the system. Corn ■■J-SEf'r! 3 '°° h «*Hng.-R. S.

The correspond! lag week last year tbe r«celpt» were l_,Mt. The record hence sjaows a decrease in 189S of T,BSI The receipts of hogs for the week wera 178.0C0, as against 159.567 the previous week. Thus a decrease of 11,567 is stoarn. In ISU7, the same week, receipts were 141,208. T.i_> incre«_*9 is therefore 36,792 ln favor of last week. Sheep receipts were 41,000. The week pre vious they were 54,505. A decrease last, week cf 13,505 appears. T^ie same week in lt-97 the receipts were 75,266, or 34,266 mare than last week. * • • SOUTH ST. PAUL HORSE MARKET. George W. Wenitwortih, of the South St. Paul horse exchaxge, reports the horse taar l>*- unchanged from last week. The demand for aHI classes remains rather dull and is likely to remain so until after the flret of the' year, when buyers will be looking around to make spring purchasss. Quite am assort ment ts on hand, considering the time of the year, consisting of heavy drafters and general purpose horses. -«, • • • MIDWAY HORSE MARKOT. Barrett & Zimmerman's report: The holi days affected 1 the trade very mudi. The ag gregate saie for the past week was the lowest of the season. Business practically at a standstill, which caused the horsts to ac cumulate to a barge degree, as receipts of stock were quiite heavy and steady. Prices drcjjped $10 a head on ail classes uf horses. Dealers In farm horses were numerous on the market, but effected few purchases. The nominal value of serviceable, sound horses, from 4 to 8 years, was as follows: DraitOTS, choice to extra .... $800120 Drarters, common to good " " 75S $0 Farm horses, choree to extra '" 75®1,;0 I- arm horses, common to good ' 51,, a -0 Drivers, common to good '.'.'.'.[[ 6QdS cq THE HORSE MARKET. At Chicago, it is the dull season of the year ln the horse traffic, and no animation is ex pected until after the holidays are well out of ths way. Foreign buyers are mostly ab sent, the domestic demand is somewhat in different, and as a consequence any pressure of offerings results In a weak set of quota tions. The best grade of horses and drivers is selling relatively better than other descrip tions, but the supply as a whole is indiffer ent. The following quotations are in some instances nearly nominal: Express and heavy draft Isfl<a->OO 1,150 to 1,400-lb chunks " 45@100 Carriage teams 20o@_W> g" v .f s .- 50@_00 Saddle horses 3WSm General purpose 20® SO —Orange Judd Farmer. • * • The usual holiday quiet has characterized the trade in horses at the leading markets. Receipts at Chicago were 1,136 last weekj which is about 350 short of the previous week! About WO more went abroad than during tha previous seven days, which is an indication that exporters are ln a mood to take hold well when the new year ls on. Prices show no change, but on all hands there is a distinct feeling that improvement in demand and pricf> will be noted with the beginning of the coming month. The course of the market the past year is reviewed ln some detail in this issue by F. J. Berry, who also points out a number of facts connected with the present situation that should be carefully studied by farmers and horse-breeders. — Breeders' Ga zette. * * • BT. PAUL PRODUCE. The week past has been featureless in the produce market. The customary holiday trade in poultry and fruits has been some thing broader than In previous years, and prices generally have been sustained. The demand for butter of all grades has been good, but the shipping orders have been few. Most of the trading is 10! th retailers. The demand is larger for fancies than for any other grades. Fresh eggs are ln good demand with lim ited offerings both from retailers and for shipping. Storage eggs are coming out and going forth In good supply. Poultry was in excellent demand and price* generally were steady throughout the week. • • • POTATOES. Oold weather and comparatively low prices Interfere to some extent with the movement of potatr.es from various poj-tlona of the North west, but It ls believed the territory contigu ous to Chicago is still liberally supplied, as shown in our columns recently. George Ml4 -dendorf & Co., the well known South Water street potato __ dealers, have this to say: "From wliat we learn through our large cor respondence from the potato districts, we believe stocks are not by any means ex hausted. Of course, there are not many being received now, but tt Is on account of the low prices. A great many shippers claim they cannot afford to line the oars and put stoves in them on the present prices, hut would rather store them until spring. This information we have received from a great many growers, consequently we expect to see low figures in the spring again. We would like to state that in our onlnion any shipper who would go to the trouble of lin ing a car, putting a stove in It and sending it forwaird In proper condition would un doubtedly make more money than by hold ing them. — Orange Judd Farmer.

I.— Certain clubmen are telling a story that ls gradually becoming num_L?^r rt 7* " a VP^s that one of their number who is a pretty good boxes- has been in the h«Wt ot lnnttag friends to hie bach ggJgaff^Jg the Utter has be« asked to put on «he glovas. In aSmoat every taetoace the lost fcsa cut loose, iSflTwitta kis visitors home with aching oowntonSnces. Afe.w w^jta ago one well known olub man wi-tatoodttoe* to the awn Wte> «lwe to box. Amtootpt the new visitor protested that he knew mrfhlng <* tbe art ot KTsE* and get! *^%x. h i w,w taro f i to put «n the gloves? "I'll show yom bam ts hoM year hand*" •aid the pßgth._t host. "I won't hurt you *t all." Then the vtsJior received a punch on tha nose that brought As olwet and made the onlookers laugh. Although Inwardly boiling with rage, the novice took, his medicine with app«_rent good grac*. A .week later he came to the bachelor apartments again, and with him yrtta a clean-cut, handsome young man, who was fas'.-___<ab!y dressed. ''This Is Mr. Brown," said the man who had been punches a wepk before by the mas ter of the houßet "Do you box, Mr. iWwn?" asked the host, after a short chat. He had produced the gloves and stood in front of "Mr. Brown," sizing him up. ! • "'No; I never had tha -gloves on." drawled "tMr. Brown." 'Then, aCter considerable coax ing.. "Brown" started. to draw on the mitts, putting the left-hander onto his right ln an Innocent way. "Let me sbow you." volunteered the host, whoso eyes ware full, of tun. He pulled the glove onto "Brown's "bands and then squared off. The apparent novice was so awkward that tihe few spectators laughed. "New, I'm going to hit you once,' said the host, "just to oee ho*, yen like it. Then you can see If you can hit me." With that "Brown" received a he ivy blow on the eyi*. He reel-ed and scemeil almost about to fall. But he recovered and the host said: "Now. you hit me. Rush in and try your best to put mo out! I'll show "y « whit, clwerness is." Just what happened after that nobody seems to know. "Brown" rushed, tlirew in a terrific stomach punch and drove Ms right across an the jaw. The host fell h^adlcrg over a tsbte and landed In a heap. When bis friends brought him to "Brown" and Ihe man who had infcrc-d-uced ■ htim had gone.

GOSSIP OF THE RIXG. Bobby Dobbe, who recently stopped Dick Burge, want 3 to fight Kid Lavlgne for the j light weight championship of the world. , Dobbs has cabled offering to box Lavigne | for $5 900 a side and the largest purse of fered by any of the -iubs in England. . Dobbs' cablegram says tiie National Sporting club, of London, will give a purse of ?2 oon for the men to fight for in a twenty-round bout, the contest to take place the latter par. of March. Lavigne Is now in San Francisco, but if Dobbs agrees to post $5,00. with the Snorting Life of London, the chances are j Lavigne will accept his challenge,- as the j purse and side bet would Certainly be worth, the trip to England. Peter Maher, the Irish pugilist, picks Sa.lor Sharkey to win from" Kid' McCoy. "It's all ln the punishment." he says. "Tom can stand all the punches McCoy can land, but whether the Kid carr stand up under the blows coming toward him or not I very much doubt. There is no ouestlon at all about McCoy being mighty clever, but he won his reputation for cleverness as the result of fights with men who were not of the cham pionship variety. If I had money to bet it would certainly go on the Sharkey end of it. It would be a good b§t, too, because McCoy. I understand, is apt to be the favorite." Tim Hurst, the erstwhile manager of *he St. "Louis Browns, who is to referee the Ko- Coy-Sharkey fight on Jan. 10. recpntly gave out an Interview defining his ideas on the art of deciding a boxing contest. Mr. Hurst said a few original things, and the Eastern pugilistic authorities bave since been foam ing at the mouth. Say 3 the New York Press: "A man rosiieseed of Hurst's views on box ing ls incapable of giving a righteous decision in any contest decided under the Horton law." Says Corbett: "I Intended to thrash McCoy on the street for his assault on. me a few weeks ago. but I was p3rsuaded from doing so. I sincerely hope that Sharkey will knock him out. In my opinion McCoy will run around the ring wben he faces the sailor, and will do his best to stay the limit. He knows he cannot put Sharkey to sleep." The twenty-round bout between Dal Hawk- Ins and Frank Srne, which is scheduled to come off in San Francisco, may be decided at the Lenox club. Tom O'Rourke has offered the men a percentage of the gate receipts for the contest, and is trying to induce the . boxers to settle their differences in New York. Peter Maher is taking things easy in Phil adelphia. He told Martin Julian that he would not enter the ring again until he re ceived a suitable percentage. Peter has nu merous offers, but tha club managers Insist on having the big end of everything in sight. Dick O'Brien and Jack Bonner will probab ly be matched to box before some of the Gotham ciubs. They boxed a 15-round draw at Athens, Pa., early in the present year, and Bonner is now very t (*onfid«nt that he has sufficiently improved to^ win over O'Brien. Charley McKeever ha» f oryarded a challenge to London to box Dick Burge. McKeever states in a letter to tfct&London Sporting Life that he will box Buixe. at 145 pounds for a percentage of the gat% receipts and $2,000 on the outside. The <Jate of the otgttest, between Charley Goff and Jim Watts has been fixed for Jan. 16 in Sandusky. Tbe^fight will be at the middleweight limit. Billy Edwards, the Australian champion welterweight, who has-tnrtwd In thie country, is anxious to get on a, match with Mysterious Billy Smith. t ' .._ Doc Payne and Lawler, the Irish giant, are to furnish the preliminary on the night of the Sharkey-McCoy fight. •_ FOR BABY'S SKIN SCALP AND HAIR Aad preventing th* fiat symptoms of dis tressing rwh-M, nothing so pan, so sweet, so wholesome, so speedily effective as CtmcuaA Bo__p, greatest of skin purifying and beauti fying soaps, v well aa purest snd sweetest for toilet, bath, and nursery. fMx pimples, blotches, red. mogfa, oily, mothy skin, dry. thin, snd &Bbf hate, md, rough handi, aa4 forsinrplemriMksndMaiaWiMflCtlUMkoed, J»ntofflrtoWNmlill.

"These rosters will Include the names of every officer and enlisted man ever belonging to this regiment since mus ter, May 7, 1898, and up to Dec. 1. In structions have been given to exercise particular care in making them up. I hay c always felt it a duty to have these rosters prepared regularly for file ln the adjutant general's office, but up to this time have found It Impossible owing to the amount of work depend ing on me in this office. "In reading the names of the men reported as having died or being sick, - ables are in most every case tsrribly mutilated, thereby causing painful anx iety at home, owir.g to a doubt follow ing as to whether, 'Can it be he?' Great care should be taken, and I be lieve it lies with the press association, in cabling names Incorrectly, as there is certainly a gross neglect being com mitted on the part of some one, merely for the revenue, instead of relieving anxious friends and relatives. "As has been stated before, the aux iliary by Maj. Sturgis, that you know more about the Philippines and events of the day than I do, supposedly ow ing to the many letters which have found their way into the newspapers. I shall not attempt at rehearsal, yet I desire to say a word that the boys of the Thirteenth, without a word of flat tery, are performing their most Im portant duties as police in a most effi cient and admirable manner, exercis ing the greatest vigilance in preserving law and order, notwithstanding that they are actually worked almost be yond endurance. Happily our total sick are decreasing rapidly, and not a boy in' the regiment is in any particular danger today. 'T can assure you that the fair name of Minnesota Is in the hands of true and faithful boys of the .Xorth Star state, and when we embark for hojne, which, I hope, will be soon, the Thir teenth regiment will give an account such as no regiment In the service of our flag and country can equal, in con duct, patriotism and valor upon the field of battle." HAD A SURPRISE FOR THEM. MnJ. Bean Promised tbe Boys Some thing: f,>r ThanksglTlng Day. \k>nzo Brennan, of 538 Robert street, received the following letter yesterday fron~. First Sergeant Leon G. Lambert, of Company H, Thirteenth regiment, at Manila: "The account you give of the return ing volunteers gives us an idea of the welcome awaiting the Thirteenth. Say i what you' will, even a downtrodden vol- I unteer -who has in some way or other { been robbed of all that makes life i worth living, loves to be welcomed and i again treated like a man. It is galling I to receive letters from our friends ln j Minnesota asking us how we like our i "iong picnic.' and 'hoping you may have I-. a long extersion of your pleasure trip.' : Fancy yourself guarding a disreputable house, in some filthy narrow street in Manila, knee-deep in mud, with a trop jcal shower drenehing~you from head to foot, you will have a good Idea of the duties of the regiment. Did we en list and have we traveled 10,000 miles to protect a lot of foreign "disreputa bles?_N N o, we came here to fight Uncle Sam's" battles and remain as long as we were actually needed. "In order to make a partial return I for the princely treatment given us by | the people of San Francisco every com pany of tho Thirteenth has invited a company of the California regiment to celebrate Thanksgiving. We have in vited Company H, of the First Cali fornia, to dine with us at the Hotel de Caleria, and expect a good old time. I will send you a copy of our menu in a few days. Maj. Bean says the colonel will make known to us some very good news on that day. We are all guessing at it now." MACCABEES AT MANILA. A Minnesota Member of tbe Order Write* an Interesting? Letter. William Hagen, of the band of the 'Hjir teenth Minnesota regiment, wrote the follow ing letter to Editor Stevens, of the Bee Hire at Port HuroD.

Good* ZtrMT Delivered Fraa In St. Paul and Midway District*. LADIES WILL SMOKE. French Law for a. Russian Coantetta Who Deapised Railway Rales. From the London Telegraph. "No smoking^ allowed" will now have to be affixed on the carriage compart ment of railway trains alloted to ladies only. This, at least, must be done if the companies mean to obviate the re currence or sSmVi scenes as that wit nessed at the station of the Orleans Ceinture line. Mile. Viron, forty-two years old, and a lady who turned out to be an authentic Russian countess, were sitting together in a flrst-class com partment marked "dames seules," on their way to Vincennes. They were un known to each other, and did not talk fcr some time, but when they did bieak the silence the language used on both sides was deplorable. The Rus sian countess lit a thick cigarette and soon filled the compartment with imoke which caused Mile. Viron to cough, and then to exclaim, in a snappish manner: "I wish you would leave off smoking, please; you see that it inconveniences me, and it is not allowed in this car riage, which is marked ladies only." " The Muscovite countess smoked on with greater vigor, and remarked that, as there was no notice in or outside the carriage to prevent those who liked tobacco from indulging in it, she was determined to finish her cigarette. Mile. Viron protested with all her might against the action of the coun tess, and called her a droit sse, or bad lot, whereupon the Muscovite lady, ut terly unmindful of the Franco-Prus sian alliance and its exigencies, struck her co-traveler twice in the face. When the train stopped at the Orleans Cein ture station Mile. Viron, considerably damaged about the features, and wear ing her hat in a manner which seemed to denote that Bhe had been in a cdl lision of some sort, emerged from the tiain, sought out the stationmaster, and lodged a formal complaint with that official against the Russian coun tess. The latter was instantly called upon to throw away her cigarette, as smoking in a "ladies only" compart ment was contrary to all railway rules and regulations. The countess only puffed more vigorously, sent spirals of smoke into the faces of the stationmas ter and the guard, and told them that they had no case against her. as they had not put a notice forbidding in dulgence in pipes, cigars, or cigarettes on the compartment reserved for her sex. The refractory fumeuse, as the station officials called her, is to be pro ceeded against by Mllle. Viron and by the Orleans company. DID NOT KNOW INSTRUCTOR. Hia Offer off Assistance Regarded aa aa Insult. From the Cleveland Plain. Dealer. A Cleveland girl who is fond of skat ing came home from one of the popu lar ice rinks a few evenings ago, In a very unhappy frame of mind. Tears of vexation came into he» eyes as «he told her mothjer how rudely she had Men treated. Her eacort had left her 5 for a moment and she was trying to take a few strokes all by herself, when a»man coming up behind boldly ts k her arm and asked if he could be of any assistance. "Just think— a perfect stranger to treat a girl like that! I wanted to tell him that he was no gentleman, but I curbed by indignation and said as curt ly as I could that I did not care f r his help." When her brother came in she t.,ld her experience to him, and being of a chivalrous disposition, the young man insisted that she accompany him to the rink the next evening and if possible point out the offending person, whnni he declared himself ready to exact an apology from. They had been skating but a short time the next evening when the girl exclaimed : "There. Ned — that large man right across from — please don't get Into any trouble with him right here, will you dear?" The young man looked in the direc tion Indicated. "That fellow with the checked cap.*" "Yes — see, he's cutting a circle now." "Hump!" muttered the boy; "you're a ninny. He's the Instructor and prob ably thought you needed some help."'
