(Special to Tim Northwestern.) Washington, D. Feb. 16. The main currents of internal commerce fur 19u2, so far as they have been made the l-uliject of statistical reports, are presented in the December summary of internal commerce, Isued by the treasury bureau of statistics. According to these reports the receipts of cattle at the live leading stock markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St.

Louis and St. Joseph during the past year numbered head, compared with 7,243.469 head in llliil and 6.tM2,7.!3 head ill 1000. The number of hogs received in 1302 Is given at 15.614.1:.". head In contrast with the much higher number of (ilfi head in 19nl, as well as with head In 19uu. The average weight of the 7.WI5.238 hogs received at Chicago lu was 220 pounds, compared with 2211 pounds for twelve months of lni.

At Kansas City the average weight of hogs received In 11)02 was i'nO pounds, and 197 pounds in 1001. At Chicago the demands for city use and local consumption for the year 1W2 were 12,59,717 head of all classeg of stock, compared with 12,43,207 head lu 100 1. AT KANSAS CITY. At Kansas City a somewhat different tendency was shown In lighter requirements for local consumption and heavier demands for feeders shipped and driven to the country. In 1902 local consumption took 4,10.297 head, and in Will, 5.5.

2.930 head. The feeder movement In 1902 reached the extraordinary total of 1,112.067 head In comparison with 758,045 head in 1301. At St. Jo seph a similar condition prevailed throughout the year, resulting in a reduction In local consumption from head in l'JOl to 2.41U.5S5 head In 1902, while the number of feeders shipped and driven to the country Increased from head in 1901 to head ill 1902. The contribution of live stock to railway traffic at these five markets in In 1902 amounted to 083,245 cars, compared with 622,352 cars in 1001 and cars In 1000.

The stock of cut meats at the five markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and Milwuukee on December 31, l'JOl, amounted to 269,137,147 pounds.

They are a constant care and source of anxiety and worry. Chronic, slow healing sores are frequently the after effects of some long debilitating sickness that leaves the constitution weakened and the blood in a polluted, run down condition, when a scratch, cut, simple boil or bruise, becomes a fearful looking ulcer that grows and spreads, eating deeper and deeper into the flesh in spiteof everything that can be done to check its progress.

Rlngalil, and Football an Turf Bvetata. San Francisco, Feb. 16. The event of the week in pugilistic circles was the arrival of "Young Corbett." Ever since that memorable Thanksgiving afternoon in old Hartford the sports of the far west have regarded the Denver youngster much a.s they regarded the bigger Corbett after his defeat of John L. Sullivan.

The conquerer of "Terrible Terry" has made a good Impression here. With his suave manner and his natty attire he is voted "quite cute," and some of those who railed at him- for playing foxy across the wires In regard to a match with mercurial Jimmy Brltt are prone to admit that the lads are In different classes so far as stature, at least, is "Why. he's only' a little fellow." Is a common expression among fight fans when they get peep at "Young Corbett" for the first' time. Meanwhile the Denver featherweight, by the use of tact, has quietly shelved the question of a fight with Brltt. When the thing was first mooted after his arrival he said: "I have a job ofr hand now and it Is big enough to engage the whole of my attention.

Whbn I have settled scores with Hanlon it will be time enough to turn my thought to other matches. Any contracts I might enter Into would be provisional, of cour and I prefer to wait and see how Income out. I suppose no one will want me If Hanlon gets away with me." The local promoters support "Corbett" In his attitude. The men who handle pugilistlo attractions know that the best results can be attained by keeping publlo Interest focused on the event just ahead and for this reason Brltt has been advised that he would better uphold the reputation of the boundlejw west for courtesy and hospitality by standing aloof from Young Mr. Corbett until the little affair on February 87 Is decided.

Corbett has gone Into camp at a tavern within biscuit tosa of tha breakers wbich roll up on Ocean beach. He has been out on the road a tew times In THE BROWN BOOK, sweater and wraps already and has given it out that he is within striking distance of 130 pounds, the ringside weight at which he is to box Hanlon.

What ever else may be said either pro or con about "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines." the latest comedy by Clyde Fitch, which comes to the ope.ro house Friday evening, the charge of dullness has never been preferred against it. Mr. Fitch, hhnself, chose to call the comedy fantastic.

This wag a very apropos adjective to use, as It conveys at once an idea of the unusual and bizarre Incidents which are so profusely dispersed throughout the play. For example, In the first act three delegates from the "Purity league," which was in activity In New York in 1870, which is the period of the comedy, call on the prima donna, who is the chief female character in the play.

Feb. 16. Matchmakers Harris and Hertz, who look after the business interests of Terry McGovern and Benny Yanger respectively, may find It a hard matter to secure a club that will try to pull off the bout between the little fellows. Hertz has said that he knows of a place within 500 mile of Chicago which will bid for the match. He has not yet.

however, named the club he has In mind. In reply to telegrams sent to San Francisco, St. Louis and Detroit messages have been received that seem to indicate that none of these cities will bid for the match between the terrible one and Chicago's crack feather. At least none of these cities is likely to make a bid just at present. So far as Detroit is concerned that city Is out of the question.

Boxing there, to a large extent, is of sufferance. Johnny Considine said yesterday when asked if his club would bid for the match: "No, I hardly think it could handle It." From St. Louis yesterday came a positive announirement that the West End club there was not angling for the match. The conditions In St. Louis are similar tp those in Detroit so far as the fighting game is concerned, and the West End club probably does not care to take a chance on a match it might not be able to bring off.

From San Francisco the following dispatch waa received from a man who thoroughly understands the game out there and is familiar with the attitude of the clubs: "Neither athletic club here will bid for the Yanger-McGovern fight just now. They have their dates well filled and do not care to book the easterners." In spite of all this, however, Yanger is going ahead with his training work as If the club before which he is to meet McGovern were already settled on. He is doing his work in a south aide gymnaaiura. There he punches the bag, pummels his boxing partners and generally pleases his admirers who drop in to see him. Yanger likes hia work, and as his habits are of the best he does not have any trouble In getting into excellent condition.

(Special to The Northwestern.) Appleton, 16. A dog owned by the family of R. L. Jens on North Division street which had been acting strangely for several days went mad Sunday and attacked the children, whose almost constant playmate he had been. The father succeeded in clubbing him off before the children had been bitten and the animal was confined in the kitchen awaiting the arrival of an officer to kill him.

While thus confined, lie tore to shreds a quantity of clothing and table linen in the kitchen, knocked crockery from the cupboards and fairly wrecked the apartment in his rushes of rage. Officer Ed. Fox killed the animal instantly with a lucky shot between the eyes. The dog was a mongrel breed, of medium size and had been a family pet lor several years. HISTORICAL ESTATE SOLD.
