a few years ago it was feared by
Americans that the cattle industry in
the west would be absorbed by alien
capitalists, but recent statistics remove
all ground for fear. 1t appears that
British capital invested in cattle COM
panies in this country is $4,000, 900,
but that the prospects of the business
do not encourage any increase of the
sum. The first company was started
in Edinburgh only five years ago. and
as it succeeded in making dividends of
something over twenty per cent. at the
beginning, ten other important compa-
MES were speedily established. The
capital of these eleven companies is
more than 100000, 900, and their herds
altogether amount to 672, 0l3 head. They
own or lease :, Sl9, O72 acres of land. But
without exception their profits have
fallen off since 1888, and, in most cases.
largely. The dividends of the first COM
pany, the Prairie Company, of Edin-
burgh, dropped one-half between 1888
and 1885, and four of the others made
nothing at all last year. The great
profits formerly made in the business
invited competition to such an extent
that prices declined, and. besides. the
action of the president in obliging many
owners to pay for their grass, instead
of getting it Tree, increased expenses,
and so helped to depress the industry.

A LUCKY BoOTBLAcK.
How Jimmy Costello Secured Twent

Jimmy Costello, a fourt sen-year old boot
black, with light hair AMI blue ewes, whose
field Of labor is the lobby of the Moaonga-
hela House, has invented q pump which
combines the vacuum AMI siphon princi-
Piles, and has sold it to Washington man
named Moorehead. Jimmy wanted $780,
goo, and the Washington man offered So
900. They compromised on $4,000. \
guardian has been appointed for Jimmy,
and he will retire from shining and live on
the interest of his money.
Jimmy told this story to the Globe cor
respondent. lie said: "Ono day last sum-
mer was down on the wharf here, and 1
see some men pumping the water out OF s.
barge. thought il took them an awful
long time to pump that water out, and
got to thinking. BY and by thought 1
could make pump, and I drew out on a
stone what thought. l tell you, mister,
when l looked at it l shivcred, and
the more 1 looked the rlore / shiv-
cred, as | knew l could pump out
! that water better than those mon could /

ner on Wylie avenue named Schaefer, and
gets him to make me a long. rOanA air
tight tin, just like tomato can. didn't
tell him what wants it for, but goes TO
another timer and gets him TO make me a
couple of tin pipes"
"What did you go to the second timer
for!''
"Why, You see, I was afraid he might
find out what l was doing. When / got
those pipes got some more, and then one
night, when the folks at home goes to bed ,
just put them pipes and things together,
and emptied a tub of water with it in one
minute, and tell you that made me shiver
more'n it did when drawed it out on the
stone. Then went and got an axe, and
chopped up that there pump into little
bits, because didn't want any one else to
know what was doing. went on saving
up enough. told a man. named Reilly,
whose boots used to shine, hat | wanted
him to get me patent. why SAYS he
10 me. 1T will cost money just told him
had it, an gave him forty two dollars,
anu he got m patent. tell you it was
mighty pretty thing, with a great red
seal an pretty ribbons on it, and then
knows | was all right"
Your correspondent furnished Jimmy
with pencil anil paper, with which he fur
nished an illustration of his invention, dis
playing wonderful mechanical knowl-
edge. Jimmy's parentage is unknown.
When wee boy he was found in the AL
lcghcny parks, and was adopted by Mrs.

This is the season when congressman
are getting anxious about their re-
election, and from Washington they
can see that the labor question is to be
an important factor in the coming
campaign. This week, by vote 1876 10
Is the house gave the labor committee
the right-of-way TO report bills affect
ing the labor question, and the matters
brought mp are the following: A bill
prohibiting alien labor and the use Of
convict made material on Federal
buildings; The wages bill, modelled on
what is known in Missouri as 1.-The SER
want girls law" The extension of the
eight hour law to all branches of gov
eminent employment, including letter

wages of 1879 in the government print

not at all likely that the great labor

Junct on City Union Rep: Indica-

campaign is rapidly opening. The APP
pointment Of the Rev. b. Kelley, Meth
odist Presiding Elder and President of

member of the State Board of Charities
in place of DR.. Krohn, prompts the
Troy Chief to inquire if the place be-
longs To the Methodist church. OF
course MIR Kelly, being a political pro-
hibitionist, made the same bargain
Krohn did, aud that is TO manipulate
the church and temperance for political
purposes. Time will come when the
church people of Kansas will have to
SIT down on these manipulating, trad
ing and diekering preachers. This is
one of the reasons why the devil is
getting ahead in Kansas.

Once DR.. Morrison, noted in literature.
was travelling with friend. In the same
railway carriage was lady, stranger
TO both. When the lady heard her fellow
traveller spoken of as DR.. Morrison. she
pricked M her ears. Addressing him,
presently, she said: MAY ! ask, sir.
whether your namo is DR.. Morrison:" at
Is" said the gentleman. "Oh, sir, am so
glad to meet YOU. / have known of YOU SO
long. And are you really that great DR..
Morrlson:" The question was little puz-
ziing, but not to be hastily dismissed. The
gentleman was making some metaphysical
distinctions on the meaning of the word
great" when the lady, impatient of bis
modesty, interrupted him-"It is because
have derived so much benefit from your
pills"

There was such an unmistakable ex-
preston in favor of issuing bonds for
the court house and Jail that there
should not be one word said now by
even the worst grumbler against the
commissioners for granting the request
OF the petitioners. 1t only required
Sl4 names TO be a number equal to q
majority of the legal voters as shown
by the last assessment; Il majority of
the voters voting at the last election is
100; a majority of the voters in the
county now will not exceed 400, and
yet there are nearly HOO names on the
petition asking for the court house and
jail. And the very best names in the
county are on the petition; the heaviest
taxpayers. the oldest citizens. the
most influential men have all petition
ed for these public improvements.

1t always pays To advertise for bids
when any public work is to be let. An
Instance occurred this week in the mat
ter of the township bridges to be built.
a few weeks ago Mr. Bullen, of Leav-
enworth, who was the successful bid
der last Monday, appeared here and
offered to build the four bridges for
$500 IN township bonds, and the trus
tees had agreed 60 give him the con-
tract. and had gone so far as drawing
up the necessary writings, when. for
SOME reason, they reconsidered the mat
ter, and decided to advertise for bids.
And even as late as last Saturday. after
they had advertised, but before bids
had been received for the bonds, they
were stu inclined 10 give Mr.. Bullen
The work. for at least one contractor
was notified by letter that the board
intended to let Mr.. Bullen have tie
work las per contract" just the same.
the bridge men were here, and put in
their bids. The result was that the
township saved. at the least calcula-
ton, $500, and the interest on that
amonnt for 90 years. by reason of bids
being received. This should be an adj
monition to township boards and county
commissioners 20 always wait until
the returns are all in before declaring
