Says the Dodge City Lire STOCK;
Journal about the predicament in which
the Texas cattle nisers find themselves
this spring: ''Texas stockmen are wor-
ried over a means Of getting their stock
to market without shipping from home
by rail and claim that their state is the
only one in the union that is barred out
by everybody from driving when and
where they please. AS a last resort they
are trying to organize beef refrigerator
establishments at different points in the
state. A meeting has been called at San
Antonio, Feb l, by a number Of wealthy
stockmen. for the purpose Of organizing
q capital stock of $3.50, 900 to erect reffig-
orators works, to be completed by the first
Of next June. In the course Of time they
may ship an o m amount Of beef in
that way, but it will only be a very small
per cent Of the beef that necessarily must
leave the state each year, and some other
means must be adopted to get the cattle
out of the country, and we know Of no
other satisfactory way but driving. If
Kansas. Colombo and New Mexico forbid
the driving of Texas cattle into their ter
ritory, what other outlet have they2 And
while the Texan says l don't know what
I'll do, he does not make the push in
that matter that the great interests call
for. Texas has a big interest to contend
with, and if they want favors they will
have to make a big stir or find themselves
in bad shape when they want to market
their cattle.

SO much adverse criticism has been
heaped upon the animal industry bureau
by Eastern journals hat the following
from the Cleveland Leader will be appre-
ciated by cattle owners throughout the
West: when congress created a bureau
of animal industry they took care that il
should be denied the power to isolate the
sick or to stamp out infection. A quarter
of a million was provided to sustain the
bureau, but its officers were left without
the power to enter OF examine any in
fected or diseased herd, outside Of the
District Of Columbia, unless they had the
voluntary consent of the owner. Under
those disadvantages the bureau has in
CURED much criticism. Now, what is
needed is hat the law concerning it be so
altered that its means shall be made avail
able for all expenses connected with the
extinction and exclusion of animal
plaques, and, if possible, let it have
power to exercise that authority within
the states and territories which 1t now
possesses in the District of Columbia. By
this means the bureau could be placed in
opposition to do prompt and effective work
as the protector and guardian of our
hocks and herds

Tuesday night there vas a dance at
Kimme's lake. classically known as Lake
Minnehaha. and incidentally beer flowed
quite freely. Indeed at times an un-
biased spectator could not readily deter
mine whether the beer was an incident of
the ball, or the ball an incident Of the
beer.
While the fun was way above par, two
hackmen named William Cooper and
Dan Donovan SO thoroughly failed to
agree about some trivial matter that war
seemed imminent A foreign power, per-
soniied in the person of Thomas McDer-
mott, became involved in the interna-
tional troubles and espoused Cooper's
cause. The two pooled their issues and
as they outnumbered tho enemy just two
to one, the first battle was easily won.
Yesterday the matter was taken before a
board Of arbitration consisting of Justice
Lee and the city was awarded damages
because of the breach of the peace within
its jurisdiction. The penalties were paid
and the contending forces disbanded.

From the New York Times
The brokers met at the lunch counter at
Delmonico's Broad street restaurant yes
terday noon. One had been an ardent
Blaine man during the late campaign.
and the other wore a hat won on Clsve-
lands success. The conversation turned
upon the prevailing dullness in business.
Things are pretty slow, suggested the
wearer of the new hat
'Indeed they are, and they will be
much worse" responded the Blaine man,
lugubriously.
.Well, we will hope for the best" said
the first speaker, cheerily.
mo use hoping" was the reply.
Your man Cleveland and the Democratic
party will come into power on the 4th Of
March, aud l am willing to bet that four
months after that time more than half OF
the business houses in New York will be
closed"
That is Internal nonsense, comment
ed the Cleveland man.
I'm bet you a summer hat and a
couple Of bottles Of wine that it will be

"All right; now don't you forget it
-Four months from March 4 will be July

THAT HIDE HOUSE.
An Entertaining Trial in Justice Fish
er's Court Yesterday.

|
The case of the City VS.. Charles Thomas
was tried before Justice Fisher yesterday
afternoon. The defendant is interested in
the hide business and is a partner in the
firm of Thomas Brothers. Their hide
house is on Bent street, between Seven
tenth and Eighteenth streets, and
Charles McGarvey, the prosecuting wit
ness, complained that the house was a
nuisance.
1t was alleged that hides were scattered
over the lot, hung on the fences. and
spread ON the roof of the building; hat
the stencil from the hides annoyed the
entire neighborhood and that the value Of
property was deprecated by the presence
Of the house.
The trial was by a jury, consisting Of
Messrs- Frank Meanca, Henry Conway.
L. f. Whipple, Mar Frank, George
Coffman and j. W. Brandon. Hugo
Donzelmann appeared for the defendant
and J. A. Riner for the city. The trial
lasted nearly all of the afternoon and re
suited in a verdict Of mot guilty. The
costs were taxed to Mr.. McGarvey.
Nh. McGaryey has recently built sew
eral houses in the neighborhood Of the
hide shed and states that he cannot find
tenants for them because Of the stencil
from the hides. 1t is probable that other
cases will develop out Of the antagonism
to the hide house.

Pierce 8 Murray's Cold Room the scene
Of Fire.

AT half past s o'clock last evening sew
eral pistol shots were fired on Ferguson
street and a moment later the fire bell
rang. The scene Of the fire was the place
of Pierce & Murray on Ferguson street,
known as the Gold Room. The damage
was small, but for half an hour the ex-
element was great. In some respects the
FIRE was an unusual one.
About half-past 6 O'Clock the presence
Of smoke was detected in the building,
but a search failed to result in the discov-
cry Of the fire. The smoke became more
apparent and for about an hour men were
engaged in examining the cellar and the
building; still the cause of the smoke was
concealed. About fifteen minutes before
the alarm was given the smoke began to
appear through the c~revices Of the wood
work adjacent to the stairway leading
from the alley to the second story, and
soon afterwards the FIRE was discovered.
When the iremen arrived men were
cutting away a portion Of the stairs and
just as a coupling was made the flames
sprang out. Mr.. G. G.. Masten threw
several fire extinguisher bottles upon the
flames and a moment later a stream
was turned on by the Alerts. Within Eve
minutes the fire was out.
The fire was due to the heat from the
furnace and was not caused by the cleo
trio light wires as was currently re-
ported. In building the stairs the
workmen cut a hole into the wood
work in such a manner that at one end
the wood rested against the due of the
furnace chimney. The heat from the Hue
had doubtless effected the wood for weeks
and partially incinderated it. Finally the
charred wood became ignited and then
the fire was started.
The loss will be nominal, will probably
not exceed 800.

THEY WANT DISTRICTS.
The Fire Department Now at a Great
Disadvantage.

Shortly after the fire last evening sew
eral active members of the fire depart
ment approached 4 representative of The
LEADER and asked that publicity be given
to one of the great needs Of the depart
ment.
Under the present system the fire bell
gives a general alarm Of fire. The fire
men rush to their several houses, seize
their carts or trucks and start out. Ex-
cept in rare instances they have no means
of knowing whether the fire is in the
eastern, western or northern part Of the
city. Often they are obliged to run sew
eral blocks out Of the most direct route to
the fire, and often they are delayed by
reason of their inability tt leave their
houses with any knowledge of the
approximate vicinity Of the FIRE. The
remedy they suggest is this:
The three wards of the city should be
divided into six wards for fire purposes, so
that a fire ward will comprise about half
of the area of the municipal ward. Atthe
city hall there could easily be placed a CEN
trail apparatus communicating with electric
gongs at each hose and truck house. The
number of rings would correspond with
the number of the FIRE wards in which
The fire had been discovered and when
they reach the house the firemen would
know the immediate vicinity of the fire.
They could her start out with some
knowledge of where they should go and
unnecessarily long runs would no longer
occur.
1t is stated the expense of the gongs
would be small and the convenience great,
while it would also add to the efficacy Of
the department. Cheyenne is no longer
a village; it covers a large area and it
would certainly appear that the fire de-
partment makes a reasonable request.
The matter will doubtless be laid before
the city council at the next meeting.

From the Arknnsaw Traveller
A New York Spectator came home re-
Gently, where he had a new wife, just
from a country town, waiting to receive
him. He had been caught that day and
was not happy.
"Ohl my Lowell she walled, what has
gone wrong with your"
Everything" he answered, dejectedly.
mo, not everything, darling, for l am
still true and loving"
Eyes, you are all right, but it's that in
fernal stock exchange"
'srhe stock exchanged"
Yes"
"What is the stock exchange, love?"
TITS a place, dear, where any blamed
fool can exchange his stock of cash for
some other mans stock of experience,
without being able to use the experience"
why, dear, have you met a fool to-
day?'
"Oh, no, love, the other man met the
fool-but let's talk of something else /;
you'll have to wait until spring for your
sealskin.
