Good Work Of the New Police.

To the Editor OF the EVENING STAR:
Allow me the pleasure Of calling attention, by
recent Instance, to the conduct Of our new police
organization, which appears In striking contrast
to that OF the old, OF which citizens had so much
to complain Upon application to Major Dye the
Chief OF the force, with reference to a valuable
piece or properly which had been purlOined in my
family. he promptly detailed detective, Mr. Mat
tingly. who, within few hours, fixed the theft
covered the stolen property. a double eagle OF the
Mattlngly positively declined to accept any remu-
upon my subsequent application to Major Dye in
satiOn was out OF the question. ] owe sincere
thanks to both OF these gentlemen for the prompt
and intelligent action which resulted in the re-
covery Of TIE missing property, but deeper ac-
acknowledgement is due them for their admirable
conduct In refusing rcward-conduct in marked
relief 10 that or the former regime and deserving
TO be made publicly known, that it may be prop

the Nebraska frontier with his family.
Some years later numerous Indian
outbreaks occurred, and the settlers and
their families were slaughtered without
mercy, some OF the most horrible deeds in
savage atrocity being committed. The gel,
tiers arose in retaliation, and organizing q
regiment with Chivington at their head,
went forth in search OF the destroyeB OF
their homes. Every man had wrong to
avenge, and when they came upon the In

This affair created intense excitement at

papers maintaining that this was the only

The Chicago Inter. Ocean claims that hay
can be shipped profitably from the West
because the improved method in battling
overcomes the disadvantages OF being lal
from market. In the West improved
presses and wire are used in baling hay
and third more weight Is put into the
same space than In the Eastern States,
where old fashioned presses and wooden
hoops are used.
A Western swine.breeder crossed red
male pig upon mixed Berkshire and Essex
hogs, and from the result decided to COIL
tinue the practice. The red hog has an ex-
csptionallY strong constitution, and would
doubtless greatly improve upon most other
breeds in the cross. Aside from this, the
breeder says that the meat was better than
any other he had ever eaten, and the hogs
grew and iattened as well as the average OF
the improved kinds.
Sheep prefer upland pastures aud great
variety OF grasses. 1t has been proved that
pasture has greater influence than eli
mate on the tineness Of wool. Fat sheep
yield heavier and coarser tleeccs than those
that are lean in flesh. The fine hocks East,
when taken to the Western prairies in the

their character. The quantity OF fleeces
and sizs OF the sheep will increase, but
the fineness OF the wool will not be re.

best Tor fine wool.
