A dispatch from st. Louis says: In
tense excitement exists here over the
result Of the investigation by the grand
jury into local police matters. The re-
suit of the investigation may be briefly
stated as follows: A well organized
ring undoubtedly exists in this city in
the interest of professional gamblers
and lottery dealers, who are really will
ling to pay large sums of money to Sc
cure immunity from police interference
and who to this end have aided notOri-
Gus individuals whose audacity is equal
led only by their ability, so far as to
keep themselves and their employers,
with few exceptions, beyond the reach
of indictment. Blank designations have
been demanded, some were given, and
at least one, If not more, has been made
use of. Prominent officials have been
directly and indirectly. approached and
threatened, and the chief of police, Col.
Campbell, has been especially marked
for removal, solely because he has prov

incorruptible, and determined to hon.

We cannot of course reveal the sworr

his excellency, the governor, has the

way, If in no other, the guilty parties
can be punished.

Condition Of Cattle and the Range

During Exposition week large num-
Der of our range friends were seen by
an Indicator reporter. who learned that
the range all over the southern and
Western country was in the best possi-
BILE condition. The fear first entertain
ed that the grass was too sappy to ma
ture well, is now wholly dispelIed. They
are, of one accord, firm in their belief
that the buffalo grass is already cured,
and is of better and more nutritious
quality than for several seasons past.
1t is with pleasure that We are able to
furnish our readers with these eviden-
ces of prosperity upon the ranges of the
West.-Kansas City Indicator.

supplied with liberal hand. The Pam
handle did not feel the drouth, neither
did the extreme western ranges, or the
extreme southwestern counties. In the
northeast Texas the dry spell was only
slightly felt, in central Texas no dam
age was done, but in the southwest in
cluding the coast counties the dry wealth
er was very severe, and if protracted
would have caused serious losses. We
have reason to rejoice in an abundance
of rain falling first where it was most
needed, and afterward throughout the
entire State. 1t may be in some locali-
ties that the rains may have been lighter
than in others, but the state as whole
is well supplied with water, and is al
most flooded in the south where good
soaking was necessary TO give the grass
good start. Past experience has
shown that in Texas dry summers are
generally followed by mild winters, and
severe winters are generally preceded by
rainy summers-and further, no two
seasons follow alike.-Texas Live Stock

SHOPPING IN BOMBAY.

| wished, on one occasion, to find
smoking jackets and caps. and my
butler volunteered to conduct me to
place. Through narrow, crowded
and dark streets We rode. stopping
finally at doorway, where a steep
flight of steps. or rather ladder, al
most erect, led to tho upper story. A
rope at the side hung down from
above, and, clutching it first. I as
cended. 7 could not help feeling a
little nervous, but the butler, in whom
l had great confidence, followed
closely, and reassured me. The room
in which I found myself was very
small and dark, with no window. An
old Mohammedan sat legged in
the corner, with a dim light by his
side. He rose, salaamed almost to
the floor. lighted another lamp, and,
piling up some dingy old rugs for ME
to sit on, proceeded to unite his
bundles and display his goods. 1t
was long time before 1 could see in
the dimness Of the room, but by de-
grees my eyes became accustomed to
the darkness and my olfactories to the
"delightful India SMELL" which was
almost overpowering. 1t required
patience to watch him open package
after package of very inferior goods.
From experience I knew this was a
necessary performance to be gone
through. After while the embroid-
cries of which / was in search began
to appear. Then my butler depre-
ciated the article so we'll that the
abatement in price was astonishing

go, but the little. weird old man
begged Mem Sahib" to be seated.

give him the pleasure of showing

show me not one shawl, but hundreds
coarse, ill-made. heavy, at first;
finer. more delicate, most e1quisitely
woven at last. Finding me firm in
my intention not to purchase, he re-
duced the prices for these bewitching
goods till they were almost too small
to be true. hastily made my escape
down the ladder, lest my pocket book
should be emptied then and there.

WHO STOp At (IESE-
LAND TO VISIT GAETIELD's
TOMB.

1T has been stated by newspapers
in Cincinnati and Chicago that the
c;sskct Is openel every day by the
guard, who looks at the remains be
fore making his report. said the re
porter.
YES. | have also seen statements
to that effect" said the Lieutenant,
but there is no truth whatever i'll it.
Here Is an order from the Secretary
Of War. which says: Until Otherwise
ordered by competent authority no
one save Mrs. Garfield will be per
mitted to view the remains That
order IS rigidly enforced, and no one
but Mrs. Garfield is permitted to 60
inside the vault. The officer in charge
is required to make report every
month OF all property in his charge,
and he very naturally desires to know
that in mentioning the remains of the
President i'll that report there is no
possibility whatever of there being a
mistake. and, fecling so. sometimes
looks to satisfy himself, but aside from
that no one, as [ have said, is per
mitted to enter the vault"
Has anything Oeen SAID about dis
continuing the guard?" was asked
No, think not The guard will
probably be kept on duty until the
monument is built At least | sup
pose that is the calculation. The Of
ticers would be glad enough if it was
discontinued, for it is not the most
agreeable duty l have performed.
The men are on duty every second
day and the non commissioned of
ticers every other day, but the officer
IN charge must remain here night and
day for a month, when he is relieved
This is my third month on duty here.
The men arc not released at any
stated time. Some of them have been
on duty for year. L don't think the
guard is necessary now, as two or
three policemen could do the duty by
having two on nights and one on
days.
DO you have many visitors this
winter?" inquired the reporter.
:. oh, yes; we have good many.
Notwithstanding the cold weather."
replied the Lieutenant. People from
all parts of tho country como here
Last week parties from New Hamp-
shire aRd others from Nebraska came
to look at the casket. Visitors now
are mostly people from other places
who stop over in this city for the pur-
pose of visiting the tomb. A good
many from the city also drive out
now while sleighing is good. Think
there was great mistake made"
continued the Lieutenant, "in not
having contribution box placed near
the vault for the purpose of receiving
subscriptions to the monument fund.
Persons who canrot- afford to give
moro than twenty live or fifty cents,
and would not put -theif names en- Il
list for that amount, would gladly
place it in Il box There are very few
people who come out here who would
not give something, and it would
amount to a surprisingly large
amount"

CANINE FIDELITY.

A very touching illustration of the
fidelity Of the dog to his master was
furnished the other day in a village
upon the banks of the Seine, rot far
from Paris. Some laborers working
in field saw u well-dressed man
walking along the bank, followed by
black spaniel, which was evidently
delighted to have such run. Sud-
denly the man disappeared, and
when the laborers. thinking that he
had fallen into the river, came up,
the dog, which had realized the sit
uation, was barking dolefuily at the
point where his master had disap-
peared. The body did not rise to the
surface, and was found two days
later much lower down the stream,
the dog in the meanwhile having re-
fused to leave the spot where he had
last seen his master, and being event
ually taken away by one of the vii
layers, who had resolved to keep him.
His master, it may be added. had
committed suicide, for a paper was
found upon him stating that he had
lost his wife three months before,
and that being weary of life without
her he had resolved to put himself out
of the way.

the pieces. Mr.. Hurd, the publisher,
and Mr.. Key, Of Scribner & Co., both
of whom are wintering here, and my
self started up the main street TO see
the sights. We We're Immediately
stopped by a ferocious looking police
man, but my reputation as news
paper man carried the whole party
through. We met a number of Ber-
mudians to whom we had previously
been introduced, and they took lis
into the club house of the Royal Ber-
muda Yacht Club, where bali the
great moguls of the island were gath
cred. AT the pier directly across the
street two sailors were just beginning
the work Of unloading steam launch.
The launch's cargo was all trunks,
satchels and boxes, and we soon
learned that it was the luggage be-
longing to the Princess and her party.
So, being privileged persons. we
crossed the. street and watched the
unloading. Tho first thing brought
ashore was mQcking bird in cage.
The next thing was big bear skin
robe which was spread over the birds
cage, though it was a hot day. Then
followed two or three shabby looking
little trunks. Then the big trunks
came out. Most of Them We're marked
in big white letters, 'P. L." One was
marked 81. B." which led lis to con-
clude that the Princess had borrowed
one Of Coachnran ..Joan Browns
trunks. There We're fifteen of these
big trunks, somo of them as big,
nearly. as Bermuda cottage. On a
large brass plate on the top of one
was cut, Princess Louise, Dress
Trunk" On another was .'P. l.. State
Dress" There were besides six large
packing cases and box containing
pictures. The baggage consisted Of
forty-three pieces including trunks,
satchels and boxes, but not including
nine cases of wine, which We're
handled very carefully. A Bermuda
cartman had the contract for carry
ing the luggage t, the Princess resi-
dence, aud it was the proudest day of
his life. He looked as if he had the
cares of half dozen nations on his

On the discussion of a certain bill
in the House of Lords, Bishop After
bury happened to say that he had
prophesied this bill would be at
tempted during the session. and he
was sorry to find he had proved a
true prophet. Lord Coningsby, who
spoke after him always in a passion.
desired the House to remark, that
one of the right reverend lords had
set himself up as a prophet: for his
part he did not know what prophet
to liken him TO. unless to that furious
prophet Balaam, who was reproved
by his own ass. The bishop, in reply,
with great wit and calmness, exposed
this rude attack concluding thus:
"Since the noble lord has discovered
iii our manners such q similitude. I
am well content to be compared to
the prophet Balaam; but. my lords,
am at a loss how to make out the
other part of the parallel; am sure
that l have been reproved by nobody
but his lordship."
