of the matter is briefly this: In the month OF

q vegetable ranch known as Col. Monroe's old
ranch, from said John Tore, and held the
sam until May /, 1884. and wishing no longer
to continue on as . partner with John Tore.
for reasons well known to himself, therefore
withdrew from the firm known as John Tore
d Co., and sold him the said fourth interest,
and also transferred my share OF all outstsnd-
ing credits, and he assumed to pay all the old
firms Indebtedness. So 1t is plainly o dissolu-
tion Of copartnership by mutual consent, and
nothing else. Since said dissolution, ! have
never attempted to collect 9 bill due him from
anyone; on the contrary, . few days after the
dissolution a gentleman offered to settle o bill
with me that he owed to the late firm, and not
knowing at the time of his offering 70 do SO of
any such dissolution. / informed said gentle
man of the fact. and referred him to the great
John Tore, who has intentionally tried to

supply of grain in the cribs. Thus much wear
of teams and wages for men may be saved, as
well as the cost of shelter for the stock since
none will be needed in summer. A large part of
the growth is made from grass that requires no
work to harvest when it is eaten by the steers.
In short, the investment in shelter teams, wag-
ons, labor, and food for keeping the animal heat
is reduced to minimum whiie the grain in
weight is kept up to the maximum if the supply
of water and food he ample and good.
In winter the fodder and the grain must be
laboriously loaded upon wagons and hauled to
the feed lot, there to be scattered on the ground
or in some cases thrown on into racks but in
any event to be wastefully used This labor is
lost, since it might be avoided. 1t is usual in
the Vest to let hogs follow after cattle, that
they may pick up the corn dropped by tho
steers.
Those who advocate feeding in the winter say
that the labor of feeding is compensated by the
increased value of the manure, which is where
it can be gathered for use on the fields, while
that from cattle at pasture can never be
gathered. They claim that the price of beeves
is usually higher in the spring than in the au-
tumn, while the reverse is true of the price of
'stockers," or young store cattle; and that on
the whole it pays better to fatten in the winter
than in the warm months. And each side can
bring the proof of experience of thoroughly
practical feeders to show that it is right

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Nov. ia disastrous fire
broke out yesterday morning in the town of
Huron, Kan. about twenty miles north of this
city, on the Omaha branch of the Missouri Pa
nearly the entire business portion of the place
was in ashes. The loss is roughly estimated at
$40 000 but will probably be much greater. 1t
is estimated that about half the loss is covered
by insurance. The fire was evidently the work
of an incendiary, and it is somewhat remarkable
that within the year three disastrous fires all of
incendiary origin, have occurred in adjacent
towns. 1t is believed here that the fires were
all started by the same parties for the purpose
of robbery Huron was one of the most flour

THE "LIGHT OF ASIA"
1t Is Finally and Forever distinguished in
the Damps of Death.

Philadelphia Record, Nov. 10.
Adam Forepaugh's white elephant Light of
Asia, died al the headquarters of tine Snowman
Lehigh avenue and Fremont street, Richmond.
on Friday morning The body has been shipped
to Dr. Boyd, of Chicago, where it will, in all
probability, be set up in the Academy Of Natural
Sciences About one week ago Mr.. Adam Fore
paugh conceived the idea of training the sacred
elephant. Unfortunately, he selected a cold
wintry day for the performance The elephant
showed such wonderful capacity that his trainer
| failed to nots the flight of time, and it
was nearly dark Before he allowed Light
| of Asia to return to his stall The keeper care
lessly left the window open, and all night long a
cold blast blew upon the sacred beast. The next
day Light Of Asia was taken seriously i'll. but
Mr.. Forepaugh considered himself equal 10 the
emergency and Immediately began administer
ing what he considered the proper medicines
! The white elephant grew worse day by day,
however, and it was discovered that he was suf-
fering from lung fever. About o'clock on Fri
day morning the sacred beast breathed his last
The attendants say that the companion elephat
of Light of Asia, upon seeing
her companion falling over dead, walked
up to him and endeavored to raise him up with
! her trunk Failing in this, she then
placed her front foot on the white elephants side
and pressed upon it several times, evidently for
| the purpose of proving beyond doubt that life
was extinct. She then walked slowly away, and
began to below most pitifully. The other ele-
plants took up the cry, and Rocks. one Of the

ored to break loose. He gave one tremendous
lunge forward in the effort to break the heavy
iron chain that encireied his right fore leg, and
pulled his leg from its socket 1t has since been
impossible to approach Rocks with safety. aud
he stands on three legs grooming continually.
Mr. A J. Forepaugh made a post-mortem exam
| nation of the body of the white elephant, and
| found that death was due to lung fever. The
flesh was subsequently removed from the bones,
and the skin. bones and head-the latter per-
fectly intact-were sent to Chicago. Mr.. Fore
paugh said BY the loss of the white elephant
am out of pocket $50, 900. l sent the body to Dr.

The Goldsboro Conflagration.

GoLDsBoRo, N c., Nov. 1.-THE following
are later particulars of tho fire here yesterday:
At 2:30 p NJ, fire broke out in cotton yard
in this city. Owing to the almost entire absence
of water, due to the prolonged drought, the FIRE
men were not able to use their apparatus,
and aided by brisk wind the fire spread
rapidly. After destroying 800 bales of cotton,
Denmark's Touring mills and Kornegoys iron
works, the flames swept away three blocks of
the finest houses IN town. In all, twenty-seven
buildings were destroyed, causing loss of about
5000 900. The insurance is now esti
mated at 5000, 00O But for change
in the direction of the wind
the entire town would have been destroyed.
woods in the vicinity We're ignited, and masses
of leaves in the streets rapidly spread tine
flames so that half the population had to fight
fire to save their homes. Thirty-four OF the
buildings destroyed were of brick, and two to
three stories high
