Rhea & Son have got the
largest assortment of Stand
Lamps in Eaton.

The DOMESTIC sewing machine at the
late county fair presented the finest dis
play of fancy work eve e in this
part of the State. There was but n
premium offered in this line and that
was for general work, which was
awarded to this machine. There was
on exhibition a beautiful lady's scarf
deliberately embroidered in chenille;
heavy curtain silk embroidered on
plush beautiful table carfappliqued in
t.nsel; sofa pillow handsomely en-
broidered in arraseur on plush, tulip
design. Elegant lambrequin appliqued
in tinsel; mirror in frame embroidered
in tinsel. By far the most artistic work
of this machine was a large portrait OF
Ada Gray embroidered in silk on black
satin, the plume on the hat being very
fine work. There was also a large
amount of work in white such as fancy
pillow shams, skirts, dresses, aprons
and ladies wear in general. Tides in
silk, lace and satin we're also ON exhi.
bition. The under brader, which IL
peculiar to this machine, gives 1t great
advantage ove the others. Mrs. J. B
Sprague was constantly at her pos
making elegant souvenirs in silk Of
variety Of c%olors, and giving then
away to visitors. Mr.. j. B. Sprague, o

Terrible Mountain Storm,

Denver, March ia special dis

since. Fully n foot Of snow has

None Of the trains on the Crested
Butte branch have made a trip for four

branch for ten days. The town Is now
on the eve Of a coal famine, there not

The Cattle Epidemic.

Kansas City, March 1.-THE Jour
NAILS Neosho Falls, Kas., special says:
The situation is still becoming more
serious. An examination to-day shows
that the disease has appeared in the
herd of mi Priveau. This is the Gates
Centre case the first report of which
was contradicted. A we'll developed
case was also discovered In James &
Tales herd in Lyon county, some miles
south Of Emporia. The cattle men as
sembled are fearful of the result, but
still hope for the best. The meeting
here to-day brought stockmen from all
parts OF the state, there being five
hundred In attendance. 1t was organ
lied by the election of Lieutenant Gov
m Finney, president, and .. Foil,
secretary. Governor Finney stated
thus Tor only stock cattle being
affected and cattle fit for shipment,
corn fed cattle not yet touched by the
disease. The experts then made a
report of their examination. DR..

Wire Fences.

Denver, March 1.-The feeling
among cattle men against the barbed
wire fences, or, indeed, any other kind,
is growing stronger and more general
every day. The outside crusaders
against tire fences might as well stop
and allow the question to be settled to
their satisfaction by the stockmen them
selves, as 1t soon will be. The DISPOSE
tion of the stock-growers is well shown
by a remark made yesterday in the
rooms Of the Colorado association, the
speaker being the manager of one Of
the largest cattle companies in this part
Of the country, and an agent of a
barbed wire company being present.
"What we want now is not so much
cheaper rates on bsrbed wire, but a
patent which will reel up our fences for
u.s."
Mr.. George Binkelman, of Denver,
while on his recent. trip through Texas,
contracted for five thousand head of
cattle, which will be driven in about
July and placed on his Republican
river range.
The round-ups in Texas, preparatory
to the spring and summer drives into
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska
and Montana, are just beginning. Col
orado will take a large number Of
Texas cattle this year.

ConureuatiouaI Council.

New York, March 11.-Twenty-one
churches of eastern states sent dele
gates to the Congregational council,
called by Deacon Panney, of the Madi-
son Avenue church. They will exam
Inc the question of whether Rev. DR..
Newman shall remain pastor of that
church. Rev. H. NJ. Dexter was chosen
moderator and a discussion Immediate
ly began whether the council was legal
ly called. Jas. d. Foster offered a
formal protest against calling a council
which act vas Illegal and void. This
was signed by all the trustees except
one, also by General Grant and others.
The moderator refused to receive the
protest unless its signers were shown
to be members Of the church. The
moderator said the question was
whether the meeting which called this
council vas regular and had that power,
and the church named must decide
that.

Texas cattIemen,s Convention.

Galveston, March ia News Dali
las special says: The convention Of the
Northwest Texas Cattle Raisers' asso-
citation began in the opera house this
morning. The day was largely occu-
pied by addresses of welcome aud the
election OF officers. The executive
council were instructed to report to-
morrow on the action of the state land
board in declining to change the rule
practically withdrawing school lands
from the real estate market.
A communication was received from
Cheyenne, authorizing A. s. Mercer to
express the unanimous views of the
Wyoming Stock association regarding
pleuro-pneumonia and inviting co.
operation 10 secure government aid in
the matter.
The convention will probably adjourn
Thursday.

The ''powers hat be-" having de-
creed that ''Chicago" should be invad-
ed, Constable Nolan. who is a policeman
also, was engaged for the most Of the
time yesterday in a roundup Of the
range in that vicinity. The result of
yesterdays battles, fought by Nolan in
the interests of moral REFORM" as it
were, was that several notorious fe-
males. both white and black, were
brought before the two police courts on
the charge OF being inmates of not
very commendable reputation. Four
of these fair but frail ones appeared in
Judge Fishers court and four in Lees.
There was no use on their part in con-
testing their cases and in every in
stance they pleaded guilty and were
fined SlS each. THIS sum includes the
cost also. Up to last evening eleven
cases of this character had occurred
within two days. 1t appears to be the
intention Of the authorities to bring up
all of this class and we presume this is
the beginning Of an effort to rid the
city of at least a portion of these char
acters.

Star Route Secrets.

Washington, March 11.-William A.
Cook was examined by the Springer
committee to-day. He said shortly
after he was appointed special counsel
in the star route cases he had an inter
view with President Garfield who told
the witness that the cases involved
many who had been his special friends,
but he wanted a thorough investiga-
ton, irrespective Of persons Witness
had an interview with President Gar
field and the postmaster general on
Wednesday evening before the presi-
dent was assassinated. Before leaving
l said TO the president that he should
be careful Of his movements as a bitter
ness has arisen between the stalwarts
and half-breeds and there were con-
nected with these cases men OF extreme
feeling. 1 said at the time there might
be a resort to violence, as such was
the impression then on my mind. My
suggestion for u moment touched the
president, but BIO responded there WA
no danger of the bitterness. The feel
ing was SO strong that 1 would not
have been surprised had it carried
itself against the postmaster general
and attorney general. 1 do not think
1 used at that interview the language
recently placed on my lips by James,
but stated in substance what I have
given you. Witness strongly desired
to have a line of investigation pursued
that would show whether Guiteau had
accomplices or not, but nothing came
of it. Witness was OF the opinion that
the shooting of the president wa not

he said was in harmony with what he

tion with the bitterness between the
and half-breeds. lie had

panied Guiteau when he was seeking

practice.

The LEADERS prognosticater on
situations as they exist took a little
glance at the federal appointment ques-
ton yesterday, and while he didn't in
terview them all yet he is able to state
he thinks pretty nearly the state OF
mind that each N is in. General
David's political pulse beats somewhat
more approximately" TO a healthy
frequency than it did two or three days
ago.
Judge Blair is booked for a third
term and why not General David they
would like to inquire. At all events
the generals chances are looking up a
little.
We do not take much stock in the
painful rumor that has been started
that the general would not accept II
r~e-appointed. We are very decidedly
of the opinion that he will-very re-
luctantly, of course. Thomas M.
Fisher, Esq.,, candidate for United
States attorney, is in u very hopeful
state of mind over the prospects of OBJ.
tanning the appointment, and Captain
Mcintyre is probably quite as confident
of the appointment as his rival.
Secretary Morgan is, of course, wei
satisfied that the near future will wit
ness his re-appointment-a contingency
that will be pleasing to himself ant
also at the same time to all Of the
people so far as we know.
Mr.. Mann is not very hopeful; in
fact he is extremely doubtful of his
re-appoinment, and yet IL there is AL
officer in the territory that deserves to
be his own successor it is surely Mr.
Mann. Not but what there are Others
equally deserving, but none, we think
are more so than that gentleman.

New York, March 11.-Dr. Theodore
l.. Cuyler the eminent Brooklyn d.
vine writes a cogent letter to the Even
ing Post expressing a hope that the
Roosevelt high license bill will pass the
legislature. He says that as a prohi-
bitionist he revolts at the licensing OF
saloons but if licensed he wants the tax
10 be as high as possible, so as to reduce
the number of grog sellers. II this re-
duces drinking, Of which he is not rs
sured, teetotalers will rejoice, If not
they can demand suppression.

Serious Snow Slide.

Denver, March 11.-At 6 O'Clock last
night = snow slide descended upon the
little snowbound station of Woodstock,
90 the west branch of the South Park
railroad, seventy-fve miles southwest of
Leadville, carrying away every build
ing in the town, including the railway
station. The news was brought to
Pitkin, nine miles distant, by a section
hand, on snowshoes, he arriving at 2
O'Clock this afternoon. Seventeen per-
sons are known to have been caught in
the avalanche, including Mrs. Doyle, a
widow who kept the station, together
with her SIX children, another woman,
name unknown, and ten section men.
The two women were rescued last night
alive. but are seriously injured. The
body Of one section hand was recovered
this morning. None Of the others can
escape alive. SO oon as the news
reached Pitkin the FIRE bells sounded
an alarm and a large number Of citi-
rsns started on s%nowshoes to the scene
Of disaster.
Among the missing are Jasper NJ.
Caswell. of Tomichi; j.. s. Brown.
telegraph operator at the station, and
George Alexander, Horace Alexander
and Mike Shea. A large number Of
now shovelers will leave in the morn
ing. The snow fall in the mountain
districts OF Colorado the present winter
is without parallel in the history Of the
state. Many mining camps west and
south have been snow-bound since
November. Durango. Silverton and
Rico, containing from n to five
thousand inhabitants, are still block
AIDED. no trains having reached either
town for several weeks past. At
Breckenridge, fifty miles north of Lead
vile, the people are nearly destitute.
Montezuma, ten miles distant, is in a
pltiable condition. Gunnison, situated
a few miles from the largest coal mines
in the stale. is suffering from g coal
famine. The snow is eight feet on a
level over the whole country. In the
rayines and gulches 1t is from fifty to
one hundred feet. The only means of
communication is on snow shoes and
few men are heroic enough to brave
the bitter storm. When the spring
thaws move these mountains OF snow
fearful results must follow.
