There was q vacancy on the police
force not long since, and new man was
appointed. He came well recommended,
had been an officer fora number ofyears
and "knew the ropes" az well as any
man could know. He wasfitted out with
q uniform, star, club, whistle, revolver
and fire key and assigned to duty in the
Bottoms. While patrolling his best he
came across q fire-box and concluded to
see what was in it. He put in his key
and couldn't get it ont. He was . man
of parts, however, and didn't propose to
be beaten that way at all. He procured
q monkey wrench and . screw-driver
from blackmith-shop near by and re-
moved the box. OF wishing to carry It
to the police station, he loaded it on an
express-wagon and took it to headquar-
tiers, and summoned assistance to have
his key taken out. When it was remoY-
ed end restored to him he was asked
what he thought the box was for any
how, and replied thet he supposed it was
for letters, and he wanted TO see If the
mail was safe.

STIRLING STREET CAR EMPLOYEES.
They. Cause Considerable Trouble and
BloOdshed In st, Louis.

The street Car drivers of st. Louis, struck
for higher wages. They demand that twelve
hours should be days work, and that the
pay of conductor should be So per day,
and driver 1.75. Only one company &C.
ceeded to the demands Of the strikers, and
that is now the only thoroughly equipped
line in st. Louis. Citizens volunteered to
drive cars, and no other cars are being run,
except by them.
The striking st. Louis street Car conduc-
tors and drivers commenced acting in the
capacity Of rioters, when they discovered
that the oars could be run without their a.
sistanOe.
About noon one day the strikers began to
assemble in knots in various parts Of the
city, and things presented an omiDous ap-
pearance. The first riot occurred on the
Ohouteau avenue road. Several ears were
dumped into the gutter, and drivers and
conductors were severely handled.
Next, big crowd of strikers attacked sew
eral cars ofthe Union depot line on T welfth
street bridge, within square Of four courts,
and the police headquarters, The drivers
and conductors were badly beaten, one con-
ductor being rendered insensible. The
rioters were in such q hurry to turn over
the cars, that the passengers were not al
lowed to get out Of them, and two ladies
were D00ly bruised ON tho xWoAItQ UtI00S
bridge while leaping from q car which the
strikers had already tilted in the air.
Mayor Francis and Ohief-ofpolice Harri-
gan, with squad Of police, arrived on the
bridge soon afterwards, and made some n
rests. The rioten dispersed sullenly. About
two O'Clock p. m, riot broke out on Cass
avenue, the crowd extending from Ninth to
Fourteenth streets. At least dozen carr
of the Cas- avenue line were Laid in the
cutters by the mob.
On the Union depot line, when . car was
near Hickory street, it was surrounded by
some fifty men, who began to cut the har-
ness and make other demonstrations. Oh
Gers twice ordered the men to desist, but
they paid NO attention 70 the command.
and assaulted the officers with sticks and
rocks. Harmon was struck with . rock
and Griffith was knocked down bys man
named John Hovey.
While the latter was oeating Griffith,
Harmon drew his pistol and shot him In
the head, killing him. The body Of Hovsy
was taken to the morguS. Hannan went
to headquarters, reported the affair, and
was placed under arrest

STOCK sQUIBs.

Hog cholera is still raging in Cloud
county.
The cattle market is still very uncer-
tain, and grazers are not getting for their
stock what it is worth.
A severe storm passed through Harvey
county the other day doing considerable
damage to stock.
Clyde Mail: Mr.. Buckles, living in the
vicinity of Ames, lost his large stallion,
valued at 81 600, last week. with collie.
The Columbus, Cherokee county,
creamery made shipment of $4,000
pounds of butter to New York the other
day.
Manhattan Republic: Hog cholera, up
to date, has effected but very few herds
in this vicinity, and we hope the worst is
over.
Minneapolis Messenger: Clement John
son of Concord township has lost ninety
hogs BY the mysterious epidemic that is
prevailing among them.
The papers say that sheep interests
are looking up, but the men who have
sheep for sale say they have not noticed
any great demand for sheep.
nJg CHOLERA has now almost entirely
disappeared in Mcpherson county. Her
hog raisers, however, suffered quite
severe losses from the disease before it
run its race.
4 new cattle disease has appeared in
Brown county. known as mad itch, which
is generally fatal. The COWS become
furious and unmanagea5le, and die in q
few days. AS the hog cholera is also
prevalent there, stock owners are becom-
ing alarmed.
Dodge City Globe: The run of cattle
from the north is not near 80 large at
this season of the year ss it was at this
time last year. Two good reasons may
be attribited; the decline in the market,
and tho diminished number of beef
steers in that section.
Lawrence Tribune: The hog cholera is
gaining alarming proportions in this
county and those adjoining. A farmer
named Westcot, living three miles west
of the city, buried twenty-seven hogs q
few days since, that had all died the
night previous.
The Hereford breeders association of
Marshall county, meets in Blue Rapids
on the first and third Saturdays of each
month. Why cannot these associations
be organized in every county in the
state3 They are q good thing and of
vast benefit to every breeder in the
state.

a Gllastly Job.

indianapolis Journal.
Hong Dot Of E. Lungs laundry, No. q
Massachusetts avenue, will begin his re.
turn to China In about four weeks. The
purpose Of his long journey is to take
Shing, who died heresix years ago. The
two Hongs came to Indianapolis in 1874,
but Shing, the younger, who was twenty
years Of age, was sickly and always re-
quired good deal of his brothers atten-
ton. When he died he was buried in
Crown Hill, to await Hang Dots time for
removing the remains to the family rest
When the coffin was opened all the
bones had fallen apart and Dot was very
e0licitous least . scrap would be over
looked. At the undertaking establish
ment an inventory was taken, when the
devoted brother and his colored assist
ant went to work in scraping and wash
ing. The latter process was done twice,
and then came additional securing and
polishing, even of the finger and toe
nails, which had been closely collected.
The thigh bones, when they came from
the hands of Dot and the African, were
ivory white. Shing's skull, after being
washed inside and out, was filed with
costly muslin. The teeth were carefully
cleaned and polished. Dot came across
q false tooth and threw it away. He
wanted to take nothing of Shing, which
the art of man had supplied. After tie
cleansing process had been repeated
every part of the remains, down to the
finger and toenails, were wrapped with
muslin and then with heavy MANILA
pager. A neat package OF the bones was
then made, with collection of Confu-
clan proverbs on narrow slips of past
Dot then opened capacious valise, put
the package in it, locked it, paid the I'M
dertakers and carried all the remains of
Shing to the laundry on Massachusetts,
avenue, there to await the trip to China.
After seeing the bones resting in the
family burial place Dot will return to
this country, probably next year.

Two Interesting Letters.

Two Jnteresting Letters.
Cleveland Leader,
Some very peculiar letters are received
by the mayor. The other day the post
man handed him an envelope, in which
was contained the following:

The mayor handed the letter over to
the city solicitor, and that official made
answer as follows
MISS ANNA PERKINs-Madam: The may
or handed me your communication to him
Of late date, to reply to. I hardly think
our superintendent of police would inter.
fere with you, yet would advise you to call
on him upon your arrival, so that he can
judge whether your "trouzer kostum" vic.
lates the ordinances. l might add that he
is somewhat delicate and of q sensitive ma
ture, and although his nervous system
might be at first disturbed by the ''kostum,"
yet he is passionately fond of poetry, and
the beautiful in nature as well as art, and
if you read hin: dozen or more of your
poems, he will, without doubt, give you at
once the freedom of the city.
Yours respectfully,
ALLAN T. BRINsMApE,
A few people would like very much to
witness the interview between the
"trouzered" Miss Perkins and Chief
Schmitt.

Gay Costumes for the Old

It's surprising what gay costumes
are worn by ladies on the wrong side Of
fifty. The toilets are trimmed with
lace and tinted ribbons Even grand.
mammas despisc caps; they prefer curl'
and ribbon bows and switches to lace
caps, once so much priced and general
ly worn by ladies Of middle age.
Thanks to cosmetics, there are few
wrinkles to bc seen on faces OF sixty
winters. and there are cosmetics to
renovate the hair, giving to gray lock,
q luster Of either brown or black, and,
in q few instances. gray has been
changed into o lovely golden hue.
Sunken cheeks arc made to look round
and full and rosy. The appearance OF
old ago will soon be almost unknown
so cunniugly does art conceal accumu
lated years Men are just as anxious
as women to do without wrinkles and
gray hdr. There are handsomely fitted
up rooms in this city whero society gen
tlcmen 60 to have their hair and whisk'
ers dyed. their complexion improved,
their nails manicured-and there are
men who wear corsets and elastic gar
tor supporters. and have q military

translated, "cotton breastworks. All
this struggle to improve ones personal
looks Is countcnanced by fashion a.

Hair Jewelry Reviving.

A few years ago the custom OF weav.
ing in some form lock Of hair from
the head of departed friends was quite
fashionable The style changed how.
ever, and the hair jewtlry markets
nearly became bankrupt. Within the
last year the fashion has revived and
now rings, brooches, pins and all sorts
of jewelry are made from human hair.
There are several "artists in hair" In
Philadelphia. but one man is the
master. His process Of working the
hair is secret. and he not only makes
jcwelry. but landscape and figure pieces
fashioned so skillfully that they look
lik etchings or paintings. Flower
groups. composed Of rosebuds. lilies,
pansies and daisies, are fashioned clev.
erly. nature being copied in form and
color almost perfectly, the different
tints and colors being reduced by the
use Of different shades Of hair. -Phila-
