Cattle growers Of the west are MAX
ing great preparations for the meeting
Of the National Cattle growers con-
vention which is to be held at ST..
Louis, November 23d. The meeting
last year at the same place was large
ly attended, and matters OF much inn
portance to cattle men were discussed.
Measures were taken for the detection
and punishment of cattle thieves, the
settlement Of disputes and conflicting
claims, etc. One topic upper,nost last
year was the proposition to establish
a great cattle trail through certain
states and territories. The project
did not meet with much success, and
the matter will hardly be, urged this
year. It was found that neither con-
gress nor the states interested would
confer the grant required. Chicago
has also q cattle conventions on the
10th OF October, which in some re-
spects is a rival of the st. Louis meet
ing. Chicago is not content that al
the cattle talk shall be in the south.

five times-once at Clinton, twice at Vim
ton and twice at Waterloo--and each time
except one the plaintiff received a. YER

many steerage passengers back to

The grand jury at St. Paul indicted
a number of gamblers and it is sup
posed that public gambling will be
dangerous business hereafter for a.
time at least. Nobody believes, how
ever, that the vice will be exterminat-
ed. 1t has taken too deep root for
that. Various forms of lotteries, pool
selling, raffles, grain options, etc, are
still considered respectable, and edu-
cate thousands into condition to
demand the stronger excitement OF
games interdicted by law.
