A TEXAS DUEL,
How Two Young Rauchmen Settled Their
Difficulty.

Bill Dougherty and Zach Gray,
young ranchers residing at Sand Prairie,
Texas, were the principals in q desperate
duel, fought a few days ago, in which both
men were wounded, Gray fatally. The
trouble grew out of feud of long standing
and, as a means of adjustment, they agreed
to use their revolvers until one or both tell.
At the appointed time both were on hand,
and, without parey, commenced action,
each using single action Colts As calibre
pistols. After the first fire the men changed
positions and began at will, Dougherty re.
ceiving one of Gray's three shots in the arm,
while Gray, at Dougherty's fifth shot, fell
with a bullet in the lower part of his back.
This ended the battle, and the wounded
from distance, had watched the bloody
encounter.

Ho,c the Railroad Conference, Recently Held
in Chicago, Terminated.
Omaha Herald, 9tl..
Mess1s. Clark, Kimball, Shelby and
Stebbens of the Union Pacific, Mr.. Hughes
of the Denver & Rio Grande, Mr.. Mitchell
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
Mr.. Holdredge of the B. & NJ, returned
from Chicago on yesterday. The result of
the great conference will be interesting.
The chief obstacles to harmonious conclu-
sion was first the great number of roads
interested, thirty-fye, and second, the
withdrawal by the Northwestern Of its
Sioux City s. Pacific business from the
Western Trunk Line Association, and de-
mand for share of the Union Pacifc's
cattle traffic at Council Bluffs. If this and
the similar demand from the Burlington,
are complied with, there will be no trouble
regarding the maintenance Of rates, but if
they are ignored, there will probably be q
loud bid at cut rates for the business. The
chief objections to division come from the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and Rock Island, but
it is not unlikely that these roads will with
draw them rather than have fight.
a uuuDST OA plauS iOl SeLCllOS tU6 COM.
plications between the various western roads
were proposed at the meeting Of the COM
mittee, none of which found general sup.
port. One proposition was to form q gen.
eral pool on all traffic between Chicago and
St. Louis through the Pacific roads. This
plan was highly satisfactory to the roads in
the Western Trunk line Association, az it
would have given them an opportunity to
carry out the tripartite compact, but it was
strongly opposed by the other roads, who
thought it was wild scheme that could
never be carried out. Another proposition
was to organize the present pools west
Of the Missouri river and form another
pool east of the river, but this was not
considered feasible until the status of the
Northwestern in the Western Trunk Line
Association was fully determined and some
definite action taken as to what is to be done
regarding its demand for recognition of its
Sioux City & Pacific line as one of the COM
petitors with the roads west Of the Missouri
river. The great obstacles to be overcome
before peace can be restored will be the re-
fusal of the Burlington and Santa Fee roads
to recognize the tripartite combination and
the determination Of the Rock Island to
have the contract enforced for the time
specified (six yesrs), and also the action of
the Northwestern in regard to its Sioux City
d Pacific.

Clothing OF the Sexes.

/ agree that the tax of carrying
clothes from the waist is utterly unjusti-
| fable, and the parts that should bear
the burden are the shoulders and none
other, says Dr. Richardson in London
Truth. In this regard women ought to
be placed under just the same favor
able conditions for movement of the
body as men, and the greatest emanci-
patton that woman will ever have
achieved will have arrived when she
has discovered and carried out this
practical improvement.
Anyone who will for a moment think
candidly must admit that the dress of
men, however bad it may be in taste,
or in whatever bad taste it may have
been conceived, is, in respect to
health, infinitely superior to that of
| women. In the dress of the man
every part of the body is equally COW
cred. The middle of the body is not
enveloped in n number of close layers,
while the lower limbs are left without
close clothing altogether; the center of
the body is not strained with a weight
which almost drags down the lower
limbs and back; the chest is not expos
ed to every wind that blows, and the
feet are not bewildered with heavy gar
ments which they have TO kick forward
or drag from behind with every advan-
cling step. The body is clothed equal
ly. and the clothing is borne by the
shoulders; it gives free motion to
breathing; it gives freedom of motion
to the CALCULATIONS; it makes no undue
pressure on the digestive organs; it
leaves the limbs free; it is easily put on
| and off; and it allows of ready change
in vicissitudes of weather.
1t is told of the late eminent surgeon,
Mr.. Cline, the teacher of Sir Ashley

pen, he replied: LET her have no stays
and let her run about like the boys"

great surgeon; and would venture to
add to it another suggestion. l would
say to the mothers of England, let
your girls dress like your boys; make
no difference whatever in respect to
them-give them knickerbockers, If
you like-with these exceptions, that
the undergarments be of little lighter

ed by an outer gown or robe which

said Mrs. Seton, whose curiosity on
histrionic subjects was none the less
acute for being repressed for so many
Years.
"Then I'll send for box at the Aga
memnon." said Mrs. Cotton; "they are
playing Romeo and Juliet there"
"Oh. should so like to see Romeo
and Juliet. p" said Mrs. Seton eagerly.
We'll, We'll CO." said kind AdeliEa.
How crowded the Agamemnon Thea
ter w.s! The simple old people from
tho country could scarcely comprehend
the ''Slittering horseshoe" of the par
quet, the crowded balconies, the lights,
the flowers!
Colonel Seton sat in silent awe, his
weak eyes protected by green satin
shade--Mrs. Seton sobbed audibly at
the sofs plaintivc music of the Orches-
ira.
And when the beautiful Juliet herself
glided on, in white satin robes, with
golden pillows of hair floating down
her back, their interest was more in
tense than ever.
Robert" said the old lady to her
husband, "therc's something about
Juliet that brings back our Silvia to
me-"
"Hush!' said the old man, laying
his trembling palm on the back of his
wife's hand. ut is Silvia!"
But so perfect was the chain of mag
netism established between.the actress
and her audience, that even the recog-
milton failed to check the interest of
Colonel and Mrs. Seton in the grand
old play.
And not until the curtain had de-
scended amid thunders of applause, did
they pause to think how strange IL was
that their dear little Silvia, the girl
that had gathered buttercups in their
garden, and romped with their kitten on
their hearthstone, should be the. wo-
man who was thus swaying all hearts
by the beauty of her presence, the
magic of her voice.
As the curtain fell, a little page in
black velvet, with gilt buttons, brought
a note to their box.
"Wait a moment and will come to
you" it said-and it was signed "Sil-
via"
Half a minute or so later, Colonel
Seton was clasped in the arms of the
beautiful Juliet. who had fur-lined
cloak flung over her dress, and her
long bright hair still hanging dishev-
elled down her back.
"Silyia" cried Colonel Seton, don't
cry. my darling"
Il never was so proud of you in my
life, said Mrs. Seton through her
tears.
So Silvia fought with her own des-
tiny and conquered it. And Mira Sef-
ton teaches in school-Mira who al
ways believed herself so superior to
wild little Silvia.
"And yet she earns four times what

A Dream That Did Good.

The Danbury Comm Ne,os is re-
spons!ble for the following ''premoni-
ton" story: IF. S. Olmstead has for
years had business dealings with the
late President Seeley, and had strong
personal attachment for him. On Sun
day night, the day before the funeral,
he dreamed that he and Mr.. Seeley
were standing on floor which gave
way with them. In the struggle to
save himself he was awakened. The
dream made strong impression upon
him, and after eating an early break
fast he hurried to the house of his dead
friend, and without disturbing the fam
ily found his way into the cellar. He
felt that the dream might possibly be a
warning, and he was moved TO exam
inc the supports to the floor. He found
that very large beam which supported
the floor timbers of the parlor and a
partition wall was cracked. The crack
appeared TO be q fresh one, and acioser
examination with lamp showed that
| it was, and that It was so large that
ones hand could be placed in 1t. MIR.
Olmstead Immediately got two heavy
posts, and In q short time made the
| timber perfectly safe. This timber Is
| 80 feet long and had no supporting
posts. Its great size was supposed to
be sufficient to sustain the weight upon
it. In the parlor above rested Mr.. See
ley's remains. A few hours later the
building was filed with friends. Had
| il not been for the dream It Is not like
ly the broken timber would have beer
discovered in time to prevent catas
trophc. That this dream was direc
warning to Mr.. Olmstead there can b
no doubt, but as to the source there
! will be many differences OF opinion.
