Mr. J. H Key, Of Leonardtown, St. Mary :
county. no has also engaged in the same en-
terprise, $4,000 worth of fit stock during the
month of February at highly remuneratve

a new and profitable enterprise in this section
OF the State, which is naturally well adapted

Our Jail appears to be very insecure
building, for never has an attempt been made
BY prisoner to regain liberty that has not
been successful few weeks ago We reported
the escape OF negro named Edelen, and on
Sunday night last al! the prisoners confined in
the building, three in number, succeeded in
making their escape and are now at liberty.
The prisoners were all confined in one cell and
they effected their exit by tearing away the
cealiug over the door of the cell and making a
hole large enough for them to get into the ball.
the door leading into the jail yard has never
been repaired since the escape of Edeien who,
it will I've remembered, broke out the panels Of
the door with leg of wood. All the prisoners
were negroes, two Of them. John Dyer and
Peter Boarman con6ned for larceny. ard the
other, George Price for attempted rape. Esi-
IDENTIFY means should be AT once taken 10 put
the building in thorough repair 10 make il

il is now it is utterly unfit for the incarcera

its mind to get out. The remedy surely lies
some here either with The Sheriff or Commits

attention. We have heard Of no effort ben =

presume he Sheriff is waiting for clue TO To-

to receive them and after n short time
had been spent in the house an adjourn
ment was had to the lawn, where a
spacious tent had been erected and
tricked out with Chinese lanterns and APP
pirate ornaments. A very convivial and
even hilarious evening was passed there.
Mr.. J. H. Black was called upon to
preside as toast-master, and acquitted
himself with genuine ability. Many toasts
were proposed and drank with enthusiasm.
A neat little speech by Mr.. Jackson was
applauded to the echo. Many good old
fashioned songs were sung during the
evening, Chief P. S. Cook, Third Chief

A ZEPHYR.
Welcome the Coming, speed the Parting
Gusts.

The zephyrs of the Magic City, after
taking Il long vacation, began operations
yesterday afternoon with unusual vigor.
The rest which it had enjoyed only stimu-
lated 1t to unwonted action. 1t swept
around, seeking. every nook and crevice
with as much curiosity as an inquisitive
officer with a search warrant.
1t struck up a Irritation with the hats
of the masculine race and in less than ten
seconds had made a complete conquest
and bore them away with as little resist
ance as the neurological masher Paris did
the beautiful Helen. Like Menelans, the
owner, rushed after his abducted property,
but never tried to knock the wind out in
four rounds or instituted a ten years
campaign against his adversary. Just
why this racket started no one knows. AT
o a reporter saw the Signal Service
agent, but he did not warn him
of the approaching tornado. Maybe he
had orders not to inform the newsgatherer,
but in case he did not, it was unkinl, as
it might have saved him a ten minutes
sparring match with a straw hat.
What caused this uproar is at present a
mystery, but it was beyond doubt the
breeziest blow experienced in this neigh
borhood for several months.
Overcoats proved very comfortable last
evening.

OMAHA'S PROJECT.
Wyoming Shippers Wanted to Pat
ronize the Yards.
The Advantages to be Gained by
This Course
Stockmen Want a Kansas City In
this Northwest.

Many of the live stock commission
merchants at Omaha and Council Bluffs
have issued a circular advising stockmen
west of the Missouri to ship their cattle
to the Omaha yards, believing it for the
best interests of cattlemen to do SO, as the
facilities for handling stock at the Omaha
yards are superior to those at Council
Bluffs. The circular also states that the
Union Pacific railway has completed its
connections with the yards and the delays
which have been caused in the past on
this account will not occur in the future.
There are other reasons why it is for
the interest Of Wyoming stockmen to pat
ronize these yards. They are situated on
higher ground with a natural incline for
drainage and are completely foored. In
rainy weather the stock will not suffer on
ccou of the mud, which is a drawback
to the Council Bluff yards. So far as
Wyoming stock is concerned there were
but two delays caused by the railway
company and these would be liable to
occur in any place ola similar character.
But the principal reason why the patron
age will result more favorably to Wyo-
ming is that it viii be bringing the stock
market nearer home. St Louis has lost
her prestige as a stock center. Nearly all
the shipments of Kansas and the South
west go directly to Kansas City and
the result isa great advantage to the stock
men of that section.
Council Bluffs is too small to ever be-
come a stock center. Omaha is a lively
growing city. There is now just finished
in that city a large building for slaughter
ing and dressing meats to be transported
by refrigerator cars, and a packing house.
Both are finely constructed and backed
with plenty ofcapital. What the stock
men of this vicinity want is 10 make
Omaha the market for the country west
of the Missouri. Another greater ad-
vantage is that if Wyoming stockmen can
obtain the same prices for their cattle in
Omaha that they can in Chicago they
will be great gamers by the change. They
can be shipped from Cheyenne to Omaha
without change of cars and will arrive in
much better condition than they will be
if shipped directly to Chicago.
Should Omaha become the Western
market buyers viii have to come to Chi
cago to obtain cattle to meet the demands
of their markets. This viii have q ten
dency to break up the ring which are at
present controlling prices in the Garden
City. Long since it was prophesied that
the stock market must move TO the Mis-
souri, river, and it will be but a short
time before this shall be realized, Kansas
City has oatstripped St. Louis. and Chi
cage must eventually succumb to Omaha.
1t is only a question of time for Omaha
to lose the trade and Cheyenne viii then
be the center of the stock trade.
Both yards are controlled by nearly the
same individuals.
