A NEW O
The Duluth stock Yards 70 be Bnnt
ma 23GE MEJN soon. lIs#E.t Z

A large number Of Wyoming stockmen
are interested in the proposed new stock
yards to be erected at Duluth, on Lake
Superior. In fact, the scheme is being
pushed by the cattle men of this section
and there is but little doubt as to the ulti-
mate success Of the undertaking.
An exchange, in speaking of the enter
prise, says: George H. Starlight, the
secretary of the Searight Cattle company,
of Cheyenne, Wyo., whose stock ranges
are between the Platte and Powder rivers,
was at Duluth on Sunday last, looking
over locations for new cattle yards there
for his own and other companies. If his
report is acceptable a cooperative associa-
ton will be formed to build buildings and
corrals there for the accommodation OF
10000 head of cattle. The companies
have heretofore been forwarding by the
Union Pacific, but this year the Sioux
City & Pacific will be built through their
ranges, giving them a new outlet, and
they will probably send cattle to the head
of Lake Superior to be shipped east by
boats. 1t is likely that yards will be built
on the Nemadji river, near the Powder
river cattle yards, near Duluth, though a
site on the other side of the river may
possibly be selected. The companies en-
gagged in the enterprise have a combined
capital Of S55, 900, 900.

Interest in the approaching battle be-
tween James LAWN, of Rawlins, and
Harry Hynds, of Cheyenne, is increasing
as the date for the fight draws near.
Both men have been in active training for
weeks, and are reported to be in frst-class
condition and eager for the fray. Hynds
has never been in the ring, SO his friends
claim; LAWN has engaged in one or two
scraps" in which he was victorious,
Both are splendid specimens of physical
manhood, and as the fight is to be fought
to a finish it will probably be a long and
exciting contest.
The affair takes place in the opera
house in Rawlins on the evening of May
25. The railroad company offers special
rates of fare from outside points, and a
large attendance is looked for.
MIR. Hynds will arrive in Rawlins on
Sunday next, and remain until after the
fight. While there he will be the guest
of Mr.. Rose, at the Maxwell house.

Mrs. JENK1Ns CONVICTED.
The Court Imposes a Heavy Fine and
An Appeal Taken.


Helen jenkins was before Judge Lee
yesterday upon a charge of renting a
house for immoral practice. She had
secured able counsel and made the best
fight she could under the circumstances,
but the evidence and facts against her
were too conclusive and she was fined
500. After the Judgment had been en-
tered she promptly took an appeal to the
district court.
The facts connected with the case are to
the effect,.that Mrs. jenkins sent for a
woman Of doubtful character, to occupy a
room in her house. The woman came
and by the foresight of the money-making
Mrs. Jenkins, a gentleman had been pro-
7ided for the occasion, who paid five dol
lars rent to Mrs. jenkins instead of the
other woman.
This raised somewhat of disturbance
and soon a complaint was lodged against
her and the trial occurred Yesterday, with
the result above named.
Mrs. jenkins is not an envIable char
acter by any means. Although she is
worth from $4,000 to $40,0 900, her name
appears on the police records oftener than
any other person in the city. She makes
a practice of renting her houses and
rooms to dissolute characters, but is al
ways fortunate enough to secure a large
rent in advance. According to her own
testimony, she has been convicted before
in the police courts upon a similar charge,
but denied the charge upon this occasion
in each and every particular.
A prominent official said yesterday,
that this woman had done more injury TO
morality than any other person in this
section. He further said that he knew of
a dozen young girls that had been enticed
into her house and ruined. 1T should be
stopped at once" said this official, "as it
lisa sham c and disgrace to this community
to have a character of this kind running a
house and practicing such a nefarious and
contemplate calling.

rest of Joseph Schladker and Archey
Penny, charging them with the theft of a
steer, of the goods, property and chattels
of A. NJ. de'Billier. The animal was
stolen some time since, and the case, SO
they say, has been thoroughly investigated
by the officials, and that the above named
are the guilty parties. The warrant is
now in the hands of the officers, and the
arrest will probably be made before many

THEY FAIL TO AGREE.
The Proposition of Planting Trees
Instead of Flowers
On Memorial Day a Subject of Dis
agreement.

The department commander of New
York, recently suggested hat on Memo
fial Day trees be planted instead of flow
ers. The commanders of several of the
other states at onse acted upon the
thought expressed, and they also recon-
mended that trees be planted, for the rea-
son that they were durable and lasting,
and would always stand as a monument Of
reverence to the honored dead, while
flowers. though beautiful and pure, would
wither and fade in a few hours after they
had been strewn over the grave of the de-
parted braves.
A representative OF The LEADER yes
terday afternoon called upon a
number of the member of the
j. F. Reynolds post, G. A. r., in
order that their views might be learned in
regard to this proposed change.
Judge J. W. Fisher was found in his
office, and was Immediately informed of
the character of information desired. He
was of the opinion that it was utterly i'm
practicable for this country, as it would
cost too much for trees. He could not
understand why the Eastern states were
DESTROYS Of such a move, when trees were
so abundant in that section.
Capt. L. S. Smith was next approach
ed, and in reply to the interrogatives,
said do not think the idea practi-
cable at all for this section Of the country.
Trees cost too much to plant, and then I
am of the opinion that flowers more clear
ly represents the idea desired, in honor
ing the memory of the departed sol
diers."
j.. X. jeffrey was next seen at his office,
In the county court house. Mr.. Jeffrey
was more favorable to the plan than the
two previous, and said d" / think that it
is an excellent idea, and especially for this
country. We need trees, and the more
we have the better. We cannot plant too
many trees. Still l think we should also
decorate the graves with a few flowers, as
well as planting the trees. l would like to
hear from others in regard to this propo-
sition.l'
james Julian was found at the court
house, deeply engaged in business, but
granted time to remark that he consid-
cred the plan feasible, and thought the
suggestion of the New York department
should be acted upon. Also, hat it
would be better to plant trees even if they
were nothing but small cvergreens. The
idea is an excellent one, and should be
acted upon, if possible, by the different
posts in this section of the country.
There is some difference of opinion in
regard to the matter, as is seen by the
statements of those interviewed. but it is
probable that the matter will be agitated
to such an extent that trees will be plant
ed as well as flowers strewn over the
graves. AS the water service is to be ex-
tended to the cemetery. the trees could be
watered without trouble, and thus add a
living monument to the memory Of the
soldiers, and greatly add to the beauty Of
the place.

Getting Even.

A grocer was one day hungrily
waiting for his clerk to return from
dinner, that he, too, might
partake of his monday meal, when u
boy came into the store with basket
in his hand and said: Il seed boy
grab up this ERE basket from the door
and run, and ran after him and made
him give it up" 'My boy, you are a
good, honest boy" replied the grocer,
''and good boys should always be en-
couraged. In basket in the back
room are eight dozen eggs; you can
take them home TO yOnr mother and
keep the basket. The grocer had
been saving up those eggs for weeks
to reward some one. In rewarding a
good boy he also got rid of eight dozen
bad eggs, and he chuckled as he walk
ed homeward. The afternoon waned,
night came and went, and once more
the grocer went to dinner. During
his absence the boy returned with the
eggs and sold them to the clerk, thus
getting even with the grocer and
making a good profit of the bad eggs
There is profit in most things if peo'
pie will only profit by them. There is
profit in using N. X. Fairbank Il Co. s
famous brands of Lakeside" and
"White Star" perfumed soaps. They
are the best in the market, being ex'
pressly prepared for the toilet, the

The River Falls Board of Trade as it
now stands consists of the following per-
Saltwater or River Falls Route
which,

Mr.. EDIToR:--Permit me, through
your columns, to answer the numerous
Inquiries relative to the route to be
adopted by the c., f. & st. T. Rail
road.
The route that the managers OF that
enterprise intended to adopt, and stu
yish to adopt, is via. Rock Elm, Mar
tell and River Falls. If the aid asked
is promptly voted by the several towns
upon that route, before we get tied ul
to the Wildwood and Saltwater peo-
pie, am authorized to state that the
River Falls route will positively be
adopted. But the time within when
by the terms of our construction con
tract we are required to raise the
$500, 900 of local aid, is so short, that
we do not deem it safe to await the
strangely tardy action of those towns
We have received positive assuran-
ces that $3.50, 900 of aid will be voted
and subscribed upon the Saltwater
route. This very liberal offer coupled
with the apparent indifference OF sev
eral of the towns upon the River Falls
route, has led the managers to oper
negotiations with Saltwater. Wild
wood and other towns upon that line
These negotiations are not yet con
cluded and ! still hope that the actor
of the towns interested in the River
Falls route will be such as to assure
the construction of the road upon tha'
line. Nj. >. BRIGGS,

Senator Spooner.

The Senatorial contest has termina at
ed by the election of John G. Spooner.
of Hudson, to serve in place of Angus
Cameron, whose term will expire with
the end of rhe present congress.
Col. Spooner was born at Lawrence
burg, Indiana, on the 9th of Janu.
airy, lS43, and settled with his father,
John Spooner, at Madison, Wis, in
June, 1859. While pursuing his stud
les at Michigan University in 1854. he
was aroused by the call for more
troops and enlisted as a private in an
infantry regiment, soon however, to
rise to the rank of captain. After
holding several positions of impor-
lance in public affairs he in 1870
removed to Hudson, Wis, where he
formed copartnership with Mr.. III.
C. Baker, in the practice of law.
From that time his success has been
rapid. His talents were early recog-
nized by the West Wisconsin railroad,
which made him its attorney, and
notwithstanding the changes in the
ownership of the road, he held his pn.
sition until recently, and was regarded
as one of the best and most efficient
railroad attorneys in the state. Re-
firing from this position owing to
personal friendship with Mr.. Porter,
the former president. who had be-
come involved in a lawsuit with the
present owners, Col, Spooner turned
his attention to general practice.
The people of the northern part of the
state recognizing his abilities and
fitness for the place, have now called
upon him TO. care for their in
terests in the public arena. Ardent,
enthusiastic, and always faithful in
little things as well as great ones, We
have just cause to believe that in con-
nection with his Office he will do his
whole duty to the people whose SER
want he will always consider himself,
while they will look to him for a
leader.

stand of the well and favOrably known
Phoenix Drug Store. We are not ad-
vised as to the future intentions of
Mr.. Davis who has thus severed his
connection with business in which
he has long been identified with the
growth of this village. Mr.. Davis
opened his store when yet a young
man with but a meager capital, and
by shrewd business tact built up in
the place a traffic of which any bust
ness man would be proud. Meeting
with adversely in the shape of fire
several years ago which swept away a
large part of his resources he went to
work Immediately to rebuild his store
enlarging it considerably only in few
wears to find himself again without a
home. lie was now afraid Of wooden
buildings and with characteristic fore
thought built the present store of
more durable materials. Since the
erection of his new Phoenix his sue
cess has been good and he now yields
his business to other hands in good
shape and with sufficient means to en-
able him to select a new and good To-
cation should he see fit to leave the
village.
