Aues10n Sales Te- Day.

City Marshal Franks informs us that
he has been feeding half dozen COWS in
the city pound for some weeks and they
must be sold to-day at public auction, to
defrsy expenses. We never thought our
people had 80 many cows on hand, that
they would not miss one when it strayed
of, but it seems like some of the neigh
bors are either careless about their cattle
or else they haven't taken COW Gems is
lately.
The six cows now in the hands OF the
Mashal, win be sold to the highest bid
der and the proceeds left over after
pound expenses are paid will be turned
over to the rishtful owners Of the cows
on application to the city Marshal.

SOLDIERS LAND CLAIMS,
A Petition in Circulation for the Remedy
Of an Alleged Injustice.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Feb 10--A circular
70 postmasters, issued by Washington
pension attorney, is being received by
postmasters in this section. The circular
asks the postmasters to circulate blank
petitions to congress for the passage
this winter of bill giving to each
soldier of the late war "a bounty
land warrant for 100 acres of the pu b
lie lands of the United States, or a eertifi-
cate of right to locate such 100 acres in
person or by agent 1t is requested in
the circular that the postmaster, after OBJ
tanning the signatures of all the soldiers in
his locality, return the petition to the
Washington attorney who issued them. The
circular sets forth that "a great injustice
has-been done the soldiers of the late war,
by the states and the national government,
in not securing to every soldier or his
legal representative 100 acres of the
public lands, or land warrant
therefor or its equivalent i'll money;
that such inducement, if not directly
held out, was implied and understood
by the soldiers as part compensation for
his services, and in many Instances such
promise was made by the agent who en-
listed the soldier; that the soldiers are now
rapidly growing old, and many have died
in the belief that they had not been fairly
treated, and that their families were de-
MED the homes promised by the govern
ment; that the intirmities of age now pre-
vent the soldier making or securing a
home on the public lands, which are fast
passing into the hands of foreigners, the
capitalists and powerful corporations
1t is believed here that the circular and
petition merely indicate sharp scheme to
get up a big petition, embracing thousands
of soldiers. and to endeavor to get through
a bill which would have strength as be-
ing ostensibly a soldiers measure, but
which would really rebound only to the
benefit of land sharks and Spectators,
and especially to the projectors of
the scheme who would be enabled
To make quite a corner on land war
rants. Department Commander Griffin of
the Grand Army of the Republic, advises
the soldiers not 10 sign any such petition,
as it is not what they want, and would be
a aetriment instead of a benefit to them.
If such bill became a law it would prove
an impeachment 10 just and reasonable de
in the future.

ADEPOT CONDEMNED.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. l0-The board of
railroad commissioners today rendered an
opinion in the matter of the board of trade
of Fort Scott against the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Railway company, which is inter
esting. 1t is the first complaint of the
kind which the board has ever been called
upon to consider The complaint sets
forth that the depot facilities of the road
are inadequate, and that its sanitary con
ditiOn is of the very worst sort. The
board personally visited the depot and
find that the half has not been told in
the complaint. The waiting room for gen
tlemen seats but six persons, while
that of the ladies is scarcely more commodi-
GUS The baggage room is small, dark,
badly ventilated and inadequate to accom-
modate even small part Of the baggage
received by the road. The worst feature,
however, is the sanitary condition of the
building and its surroundings. 1t is sit
uated in low ground, surrounded by q
swamp and bottomlesS mire, while open
ing into the ladies' waiting room lisa closet
which gives out sickening stencil which
pervades the whole building. The board
of railway commissioners declare that if
the building is not removed by the COM
pany the health officers of Fort Scott will
be compelled to remove it the coming
season as a sanitary measure. The board
directs that the complaint is well founded.
and orders that n depot be Immediately
built

READING TROUBLES.
President Cefbin Refuses to Treat With
the labor Delegates

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10-The correspon-
dence between the executive board of the
Knights of Labor, and the officers of the
Reading company in regard to the strike is
made public this evening. John W. Hays.
as secretary of the board, writes to Presi
dent Corbin of the Reading railroad as
follows: will you kindly say whether or
not you will meet a committee of the gen
erl executive board Of the Knights of
Labor for the purpose of Investigating
and if possible, settling the trouble exist
between the Philadelphia & Reading Rail
road company and the Philadelphia Il
Reading Coal and Iron company and their
employees"
To this, President Corbin replies. 81
know of no trouble existing between the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad company
and its employees, and consequently there
Is nothing that can be made the subject of
investigation or discussion" He adds that
he has turned the boards request over
to President Keim, of the Reading
coal and iron company, with a request that
theanswer be on behalf of that corporation.
Mr.. keim says: l assume that you are
familiar with the contract made between
this company and its miners in September.
In violation OF its terms, nearly all of the
employees of the company left its service
a large number have not returned There
are at present working for the company
at the mines 5000 men and there would be
Il much larger number at work if the men
were left to exercise their own Judgment,
and were not deferred by threats OF personal
violence. We are willing to discuss the
question Of wages with any person repre-
senting the men actually in the service of
the company. As we have stated hereto
fore, if the men had continued at
work under that contract after the
lst day of January, and had at any
time thereafter desired conference in re
lation to the matter of wages. the officers
of the company would have met them or
their representatives on that subject. Ii,
and when the miners return to work,
conference upon the question Of
wages should be desired on their part.
we shall be ready to confer with them,
with the understanding that no basis diff
ferent from the one already in existence
will be established that will require this
company to pay more for labor for the
same class of work than is paid by its
comnetiforS

PLEADING INSANITY.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. lO-The at
torneys of Anschlag, who hacked to death
with an ak the Hitchcock family at their
ranch near Garden Grove, in this county,
have started in on the threadbare insanity
plea. They have filed an affidavit from
their client which is almost identical with
that presented by young Goldenson, of
San Francisco, the murderer of little
school girl. In this affidavit the assertion
is made that Anschlag, while hanging
paper in Germany fell from Il ladder. a
distance of 20 feet, and striking on his
head received injuries which confined him
for several months, and that he afterwards
became unable to distinguish between
right and wrong. The affidavit declares
that Anschlag, while iii Germany, stole u
watch from a iewelry store. but the act
was an involuntary one of the body, and
not the voluntary act Of the mind 1t also
cites petty theft committed in Butte
county, in this state, for which he WAS sent
to jail. The attorneys, therefore, ask for
time TO procure depositions of witnesses in
GERMANY and England who will substan-
tiatA the insanity plea .-.-

Inner Circles Of Swelldom.

census of good society has Just been
made in this city, and it is found that of the
population OF nearly two understanding
in the metropolis and its snburbs-only 700
are qualified to rank with the best. In re-
public where the notion is outrageousiy &C
neral that behavior is the true test to worthi-
ness, it requires an authoritative edict once
in while to squelch the dwelling tendency.
The PatriarchS have done the job this time.
They are an organization of intensely swell
gentlemen who give annual balls at Delmo-
nicos, and they put what they regard as their
minds to the drawing of the line distinctly
between society" and common people The
Patriarchs' next ball is to occur this month.

standing, is the high mogul Every autumn
he maks out careful list of ninety nine other
real gentlemen, making 100 in all. They con-
stitute the Patfiarchs
They are assessed $50 apiece for a fund
with which to pay the balls costs of music
and supper. Upon them is placed the awful
responsibility of issuing invitations, for the
documents are substantially credentials of
the highest possible character, proving that
the holder is lin society" Each one in the
100 names seven persons. The number is
based on careful and critical estimate that
there are no more than 700 men and women
in all New York quite worthy of the glorious
distinction. The separate lists of seven are
sent TO McAllister, who calls secret meet
ing of the entire 100. to whom the names are
read, and single vote against candidate is
sufficient for exclusion, all Of which is funny
to the reader. but very momentous TO the
small coterie Of persons concerned. When
Mrs. William Aston gave notable ball two
years ago she extended her invitations to 500.
and was by her friends considered liberal,
considering how sacred are the precincts of
society" Thus you will see that so far as
New York is concerned there may be an

above them are less than 900 positive super.
