'a cold or from an attack
influenza. Among tbe tens
of thousands who have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for these diseases you will not
kfind a single case that has ever
resulted in pneumonia which
shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dread
disease. The fact is it counter-
i acts any tendency of a cold or
attack of the grip towards pneu
monia. It is famous for its
quick cures of colds and grip.

We frequently see a man walk
into a confectionery or grocery
store pick up an apple a stick
of candy or a banana and de-
vour it with as much nonchal-
ence as if he were the proprie-
tor of the establishment.; Now
of course an apple or a stick of
candy is not worth much but
suppose everybody who happen-
ed into the store should help
themselves in this fashion
where would the merchant's
prolit come in? It would not
come in at all; on the contrary
he would go broke in a short
while. You have no more right to
sponge on the dealer than any
body else. So when ever you
want a little fruit or a little
candy plank down your nickel
and don't "sponge" any

THE CENTER OF THE LIVE-
STOCK INDUSTRY.
According to the Federal cen-
sus giving the number of head
of livestock in the different
states of the union on 1st of
June 1900 tie great state of
Texas stood first in cattle with
9546970 Iowa was second with
5338849 and Kansas third with
4495043. Missouri Nebraska
and Illinois had about 3000000
each Indian Territory and Okla-
homa combined 3000000 and
Colorado 1500000. Kansas
City is thus shown to be the
central point and natural market
of the greatest cattle producing
territory in the world. During
the first of the New Century
Kansas City's chief mission
seemed to be tbe smashing of
commercial records and so sue
cessfu! were its efforts that in
the receipts of live stock and
tbe percentage consumed by
local abattoirs the new records
established out number those
' of any other city. Cattle re
ceipts for the year amounted to
2000105 head out numbering
the previous year's and heavi-
est previous receipts by over
30000. There were 126410
calves received also a record
breaking supply and the hog
receipts which aggregated
3719404 were the largest ever
recorded and over 600000 in ex-
cess of the previous year's arri
vals. Sheep receipts while
not the largest on record were
very heavy having reached a
total of 980978 and of tbe num-
ber 776693 were slaughtered
in Kansas. City representing
79.3 per cent of tbe total supply
and eclipsing all previous
slaughtering records as did the
killing of cattle which readied
a total of 1142289 or 58.4 per
cent of the receipts and the
killing of hogs which amounted
to 3544800 or 95.3 per cent of
the total supply. There were
also 96957 horses and mules re
ceived during the year and the
total valuation of live stock
Dassinar throutrtr the Kansas
City stock yards was $130377
653.00 over 4000000.90 greater
than in 1900 and representing
about one seventh of the total

which readieitiifi enormous o"-
tal of $918000000.00 within it-
self a record breaker and $143-
000p00.00 in excess of the pre
vious year's clearings.
In the summer and fall of
1901 the territory for hundreds
of miles around Kansas City
passed through a drouth that
for severity ba3 seldom been
surpassed but so far from prov
ing a disaster to the industries
of the city its effect was only
felt in showing its greatness in
adversity and how little are its
institutions dependent upon lo
cal conditions. Much of this
supremacy is due to the perfect
railroad facilities which Kan
sas City's geograpical position
affords and when thousands of
immature cattle were forced on-
to the market during the dry
months the demands of the far
away states of the north and
northwest where feed was
plentiful absorbed a large por
tion of the surplus in as simple
and natural a manner as if the
exchange had been made by
next door neighbors instead of
between men living thousands
of miles apart. These exchang
es were affected through the
Kansas Citv market which
maintained its position as the
largest stocker and feeder mar-
ket in the world having distrib
uted 50000 more cattle to the
range and feeding points during
the year than any other two
markets combined and having
approached within less than
9000 head of the greatest of all
distributing years 1900 when
from Kansas City alone about
670000 cattle and calves found
their way back to the country.
An idea of the increase of stock-
ers and feeders called tor oy
what was formerly considered
"outside territory" may be ob
tained from the Kansas City
Stock Yards Company's annual
distribution report which shows
Montana to have taken nearly
30000 cattle compared with 300
the year before; South Dakota
11000 against 1100; Wyoming
10000 against 1899; Minnesota
3000 against 300 and Washing
ton 2400 against none at all in
1900.
Two thousand pure blood cat
tie sold at auction at Kansas
City at a general average of
$226.15 during 1901 out of about
15000 pnre blood cattle sold at
auction during the year through
out the whole United States;
and at Kansas City during the
first month of the year the
pace was set for high priced
heifers when Carnation 7704
was sold oy uiem uraves oi
Bunker Hill. Ind. tc J. C.
Adams Moweaqua 111. for
$3700. Other high prices were
paid during the year for female
pure blood cattle at ivansas
City and other places until the
climax was reached in Decem
ber when W. S. Marr of Aber
deenshire Scotland sold Nissie
153d to W. C. Edwards & Co. of
Rockland Ontario for $6000.
This was not only the highest
price paid for a cow during the
year but exceeded any like con-
sideration since the famous
"New York Mills" sale in 1873
which took place near Utica N.
Y. and at which one Shorthorn
cow sold at 40000 and another
at $35000.
In fact the 1901 was the most
successful year in the history
of the Kansas City market and
shows the steady trend of the
business to that poiut which is
destined to become the greatest
livestock market in the world
