I;aid on Chinese.

At Rock Springs, Wyoming, a ter rible raid was made upon the Chinese population on the ad and sd of this month. Every .Chinaman, over 800 Tn number, were driven out of town. Fifty houses belonging to the railroad company and fifty more owned by Chinamen were burned. Fifteen dead Chinamen were found after the fire and as many more arc thought to be in the ruins.
 The Chinamcn fed to the hills west of town without food, afraid to go to Green River City, distant about ten miles. Gov. Warren was called to Rock Springs. No more trouble is anticipated. Food was sent to the starving Chinamen in the hills by the authorities.

Pointers for stockmen.
Do not crowd stock in loading.

Do not crowd stock in loading.
 Do not fancy that other men are less smart than you in judging good time to ship. Usually you will find that great many others saw and act ed as you did.
 Do not buy reckless because you are using somebody else's money.
 Do not forget that your stock nat urally looks better to you than to any one else.
 Ship the best stock you can, but in order not to be disappointed, do not expect to capture the "top" price of the market.
 Remember that your cattle, hogs or sheep may be the best in the neigh borhood or in the county, but don't forget that this is a big country.
 Don't ask your commission man to cut rates for you. He does not charge too much for doing your work well, and you cannot afford to have it done otherwise.
 It does not pay to buy dear stock to keep rival from getting it. It is better to force him to buy that kind.
 Do not go on the "make- -or-lose- everything principle. You will sleep better, enjoy life better and have more money provided against a rarny day and old age, by working less spasmodicallY and speculatively.
 Do not be discouraged at having taken little bitter with the sweet.
 Do not hire commission man if you know better than he does what your stock IS worth or when it should be sold.
 Never employ a man if he cannot withstand the temptation of liquor.
 Do not call the buyers thieves and rogues until you know them to be such. Some soured, dyspeptic grum- blers, who do not know how to man. age their own business, think every man who makes a success must do it dishonorably.
 Do not come to the city to have a lark. Many shipper who rails at the unproftableness of his business, might better rail at his own animal appetites and beastly conduct while in the city.
 Do not forget that when stock comes 10 market it is for sale, and that there are nine chances out of ten that 1t cannot be sold so we'll at any time after as on the day of arrival.
 It is risky business, gambling on the future price of anything. Better keep we'll posted and buy on the mar ket as closely as possible.
 Keep we'll supplied with good stock journals, and always literally patron- ize local publications. -Ex.
