A GOOD IDEA.
The webieet inaugurate a New style
OF Advertising.

=
Yesterday msrning the East bound pas
senger train had with it a car which is
aptly and appropriately labeled Oregon
on Wheels" II is a handsome baggage
coach Of the Oregon Short Line, and it
is 10 tastefully, artisticallly and econo-
mically arranged as to present in minia-
ture the mountains. wheat fields, mead
ows, vast forests of timber. orchards, vine.
yards and flower gardens. The sides,
ends and roof Of the car are completely
covered with cereals, grasses and lovely
wreaths and bouquets Of the most beauti-
fal and fragrant flowers. Among the
display are twenty-five varieties OF wheat.
ten OF oats, six of barley and four Of rye.
There are eighteen specimens Of timothy
and a dozen specimens OF red and white
clover are shown. Immense stalks OF
corn, twelve feet in length, are shown.
and an elder sprout of one years growth,
cut from n tree two feet in diamter,
measures fifteen feet in length. A water
melon of forty-six pounds weight is care
fully cared for in a box, and is shaded by
an immense sunHower twenty inches
across and weighing twenty-six pounds.
In addition to the foregoing are all kinds
Of fruits in boxes and preserved in acid,
mineral specimens, hop vines and blades
Of running grass forty feet in length.
In charge Of this Oregon on Wheels"
is Hon. +. W. Alien, who WIS commits
sioner for Oregon at the New Orleans
Exposition, who is among the most active
Of the members Of the board Of immi-
grafton for Oregon, accompanied by his
wife and daughter.
The car is to visit the state fairs OF
Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky, besides stopping at
numerous Of the most important cities Of
the western states. The first stop to dis
play the exhibit will be made at Omaha,
by special request of General Ticket and
Passenger Agent j. W. Morse, and af-
forwards a day or two will be spent in
Council Bluffs. The party will then pro-
coed to Des Moines, Ia, remaining dur
ing the state fair, and then 90 to Kalama-
ZOO and Battle Greek, Mich. After this
the car will be taken in regular order to
the fairs of the states above named.
This mode of advertising the resources
of a state is surely a novel one, and will
doubtless be very effective. For obvious
reasons n plan like this was only made
possible through the courtesy Of railway
agents and managers in offering the use
Of a car and transportation free. The
result of the effort has certainly been
most gratifying to those interested in the
experiment, as they hear the exclama-
tons of admiration and wonder of all who
inspect the display.

has been said that Brandt presented the
check and payment was refused. Officer
Smith, who made the arrest, says that
Brandt didn't present the check at the
bank but was exhibiting it in a saloon.
Brandt says that he only made the check
for fun. He is now in the comfy Jail and
that isn't SO funny. The man is well
known in Cheyenne and has heretofore

CHICAGO STOCK YARDS.

! Thousands Of Diseased Sheep
Slaughtered Each Day and Sold to
the unsupported Public.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Hundreds OF
diseased sheep, the News to-day asserts,
are overlooked daily at the stock yards
here, and slaughtered as mutton for
the city. Says the article: "The
health inspectors are apparently in
ignorance of the fact that diseased
sheep are almost daily sold at the stock
yards. Sales are made openly despite
the presence of inspectors, and no bar
has thus far been interposed to stop
the repulsive traffic. The animals are
shocking spectacles, and the idea that
such stuff is sold daily as food for
thousands is horrifying. A thousand
diseased sheep are bought at the stock
yards daily by mercenery scalpers and
sold to the unsuspecting public as
good mutton. A syndicate is inter-
ested in the traffic. A reporter paid a
visit to the pens at the stock yards
yesterday for the purpose Of investi-
eating. No inspectors were about.
Out Of forty pens twenty-eight con.
tanned diseased sheep, and on an aver
age there were twenty diseased sheep
in each pen. Scabs, foot root and
CHAMBERS, or snufies were the ailments
of the entire lot. The sheep, 1t was
definitely ascertained, were slaughtered
and are now in local butcher shops or
at the Jackson street market.

s--Death Sentence Pronounced on

Decker--Crops.
Special to Commercial Herald.
LAKE PROVIDENCE, LA, July 20
The district court adjourned on yester-
day for the term leaving many cases
untried, and the Jail filed with
prisoners demanding trial, as well as
other persons whose cases were fixed
and were present demanding trial, but
failed to obtain it.
In the cases of William George,
convicted Of murder, and Henry Jack
son convicted of manslaughter at the
present term, motions for new trial
were filed and overruled. Death
sentence was pronounced on George
which he accepted calmly, requesting
the judge to grant him the use Of the
courthouse 10 preach once a week,
and seemed to attach no Importance to
the sentence, his sole desire being to
have his life spared until he could
complete the history Of his life which
he was writing.
Henry Jackson was sentenced to if
teen years in the State p~enitentiary
Suspension appeals were filed and
granted in both cases returnable to the
supreme court at Shreveport in Oc-
tober next.
The coroner held an inquest upon
the body of John N. Decker, who was
found dead at the Arlington residence
and the jury returned a verdict that
he came to his death from an overdose
Of opium without suicidal intent.
Three pounds of opium were found in
his room, and under his pillow a half
pound was discovered with a knife,
showing that he was an habitual opium
eater. He is reported to have been in
sured in the American Legion Of
Honor and Knights Of the Golden
Rule.
Crops continue good. Worms have
done no harm. and cotton is opening

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Secretary
Lamar, wishing to correct rumors to
the effect that there had been some
thing offensive to him in his corre-
spondence or intercourse with Civil
Service Commissioner Eaton, sent the
later the following letter:
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, u. G., July Is, 1855.
To Hon. Dorman Eaton, Chairman of the Civil
My DEAR SIR-Yours of the elev-
enth instant has been received. | had
observed with deep regret some of the
articles to which you refer, feeling
their injustice in common with your
self, the letter Of the 1st Of June did
not in any way reflect upon my action
or that of this department. 1t is just
and proper that l should 60 further
and state that your communications to
me have been in entire harmony with
my own views, never in any single in
stance lacking that kindness and good
will which have characterized our re-
lations, while l regard no part of my
entire country as my own section.
yet 1 do not regret that the
civil service reform has imposed upon
me the grateful duty of remedying to
some extent the injustice which in this
branch of the departmental service
has been manifested against the To-
cality of my birth and home under the
preceding administration and before
the civil service committee was estab.
lished the appointing power, owning to
peculiar causes, was not deyiating, as
a rule, to selections from the most in.
telligent and best population of the
South. The civil service commission
has opened the channels of public en-
ployment to the most intelligent masses
Of all sections of the country alike,
but the boundless wealth and business
activity of the North divert most OF
its best literary, business, and legal
talent from these channels, while the
South with less call for her men OF
ability and intelligence in the walks Of
business life offer to the public service
her best literary, business and legal
talent. Your commission has shown
and will necessarily show in the com
petition of applicants a larger proper.
ton from which to select among those
States which have not had their due
proportion. Thus by means Of the &C.
tion of the commission the great work
of reform in the departmental service
will be steadily bene6cially equalized
and promoted. Hoping that We each
in our several spheres may in the high.
est degree in our power contribute tC
the general good, l have the honor to
remain, with great respect, very truly
yours, L. @. G. LAMAR.

8TR LOSES MONTEFIORE.

A few days ago the people of the
United States were made to mourn
the death of their illustrious citizen
and soldier. To-day the world mourns
the death OF its illustrious citizen and
philanthropist. The truly good are
the truly great. Sir Moses Mon
te6ore is dead. His noble spirit
has gone to dwell in the presence of
the great white throne Of the benign
Ruler of the Universe. But his works
of love live after him. He was truly
good. He exemplified in his life the
essence of true religion, for the high
est type of religion is love Of God and
Of man. Sir Moses knew no religion
but the religion of charity, which is the
greatest of all virtues. At the ripe
age of n hundred years and
nine months he falls asleep, and calm
and serene be his present estate as
his life has been holy and his deeds
benifcient. Any nation, any people!
may well be proud of such a man
grand and good, and noble and
elf-sacriicing, he travelled in
to every country where humanity
called standing unabashed in the
presence of the Car of all the Rus
sias to plead the cause of his CO.
r~eligionists; appealing to the Sultan of
Turkey for the cause of the Jew and
Christian alike; pleading the cause of
humanity at the court of Egypt and
Morocco. All these successfully.

The Barb Wire Manufacturers to
Form a Pool and Advance RriCaS.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Fitty represen-
tatives from as many barb wire man.
ufactories, being three-fourths Of all
such institutions in the United States,
held a secret meeting here yesterday,
at which they virtually decided to
form a pool and advance prices fifteen
per cent. The different members con-
tended that the present selling price
1886 per hundred pounds was 10 cents
below actual cost Of production.
They asserted also that the combina-
ton between the Vanderbilt and Penn
sylvania Central systems of railroads
would result in raising freight rates,
and the only way to to meet such
increased rates was to advance prices
of barbed wire and form a manufacture
ers association to maintain the ad-
vanced price.

The killing of young Richardson in
the negro drinking saloon must warn
the citizens Of Warren county Of the
increasing evils pertaining to the
feebleness of law. The young man
was in a place where he had no bust
ness, it is true, but that is no shadow
of excuse for his brutal murder. In
the saloon where it occurred the crowd
who usually congregate there Iimagine
they are to a certain extent the pets Of
officials. And they are. The owner
of the saloon has influence; he is an
Alderman and he ia solid with the
Radical boss. That gives the saloon
almost unbridled license, and one fruit
of that license is the crime referred to.
The larger part of the difficulties
endured and the exactions submitted
to by the people of Warren county are
directly ~traceable, to the abandonment
of strict Democratic discipline by the
white citizens. The moment the scrub
race was countenanced the corruption
and devilment began, and now the
county is in the pitiable plight of
having one Radical master, who boasts
that he will continue to maintain him.
self in Office, whether the people like
it or not. Crayton, who owns the
negro dive, is one of his chief aids,
and the dive will continue as hereto
fore to be a hell-hole to brutalize the
negroes.
The people will regulate all these
things in due time; this Fall without
doubt.

They admit that nothing can be said
