Success Derived from Impressional
Breeding.


Breeding.
Astronomers say that those little
lights above the blue sky-a large
majority-are "fixed stars or plan
ets,'' and rarely one alone is seen
moving hither and yon, seen and
then unseen by us. Now, this latter
satellite may partially represent this
writer S case. 1t is often said that
he never kept still; while near
friends often advised us to "settle
down" among kith and kin, or
somewhere, and be content. This

gain at the nominal sum of fifty
cents. This was the first sheep |
could call inc. Thus, yearly, our
white breeding ewes would yield
three or four black lambs to each
hundred, and now and then one
dropped from the few colored ones.
This object was gained by letting a
few black wethers run with the white
flock at breeding time, to mark the
lambs, as it was much cheaper and
better to raise black wool than to
color it before working up into
"sheep's grey" cloth for homemade
wear.
Ancient history gives an account
how the father-in-law of Jacob was

faithful shepherd placing before his
breeding herd bright colors at the
time of coupling, so as to increase
the number of spotted lambs or
sheep, which were counted as his

the colder regions bordering on the
great lakes and encompassed by the
tributaries of the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi rivers. But the division
composed of the German, English,
Scotch and Irish elements will most
ly turn southwark and to the south
west. One portion of it will flow
down along the western slopes of
the Alleghanies to the prairies of
Texas and New Mexico; but a great
host, the greater number by far,
lured by a genial climate, prolific
lands, cheap transportation, proxim-
ity to markets, fisheries and many
other tempting advantages, will
spread over all our southern Atlantic
seaboare and tide-water region, take
possession of the domains awaiting

fertile and productive as gardens.
The, fine water plateaus which every

other noble rivers, will at no distant
day be populated by new colonies
who will stamp them with the i'm

the kind of progress needed to make
thriving happy communities. They
will bring plows and axes, mowers

and railroads, and construct over
the old bride paths substantial and
easy thoroughfares. They will plant
orchards, and transform the sedge
patches and quilted fields into gar

of this great army of enlightened

of the most advanced civilization of
the age, will mark out and build up
multiform enterprises, which will
fill the land with the elements of
prosperity and make all this fine re-

reporter chatted with one of them. The
delegate said the strikers had men in

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. il. c.
Parker, presiding judge of the United
States district court has announced his
opposition to the bill before congress
to establish court in the Indian Ter
ritory, and desires to have the matters
pertaining to this subject more fully
investigated before it is acted upon.
He cites that though there are more
Indians than whites in the Indian Ter
ritory. yet seven out of ten men
brought in from the Territory and
tried in his court are sent to the
penitentary, and search of the rec
ords demonstrates that this proportion
is white, and that they will, under the
senate bill, be the ones necessary to
form juries in the Territory. The
Judge fears that with so large GRIM
inaf element among the whites from
whom juries must be drawn, the In
dams will be unfairly condemned,
while white men will escape punish
mert. The leading lawyers and court
officials have expressed similar opin-

a Thirteen Year old GirI Twice MAR
Fied and Deserted.
ST. JOSEPH, Feb. THE police OF
this city were yesterday called upon
to deal with the most wonderful case
with which they have come in contact.
Sunday night girl who looked not
older than thirteen years of age was
taken up at the union depot. She was
given lodging and in the afternoon
stated TO the chief of police that she
had been deserted by her husband and
that she had come to st. Joseph to
look for HIM. The police were at first
disinclined to believe the girls story
on account of her extreme youth, but
it was afterwards learned that she was
telling the truth about her lost hus-
band and that she had been twice mar
ried and was the mother of two
children now deceased, although she is
not vet thirteen years of age.
The girls story is given as reported
to the police, and is as follows;
About two years ago she was married
in Grundy county, Missouri, to Robert
Patterson, boy seventeen years of
age. She was then ten years of age
and both of her children was the result
of this marriage. Her husband died in
the meanwhile and she returned to her
fathers home near Highland station.
Her father seemed to regard her as a
burden and she was compelled to mar
~ John Stephenson twenty-three years
of age. The last marriage occurred
about three months ago and until
Tuesday last the two lived happily to-
gether
Tuesday last Stevenson decamped
| leaving her without food or fuel. The
little she had was sold, and she started
in pursuit of her husband. She saw
him in Mound City, but he continued
to elude her and she started for st
Joe. She was kindly taken care of anC
Mayor Doyle provided her with ticket
to Hickory station, Grundy county
where her father resides.

RUBBER TRUST.
Ali Manufacturers to Pool TheIl
Stocks for Shares.
More Profits and Less Labor to be
the Result.
Judge Parker Opposed to Court in
the Territory.
Other Items of General Importance
by Telegraph.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE formation
of the great proposed rubber trust is
now a question of only few days.
The committee appointed to settle the
differences between Christopher Mey-
ers and others regarding the New Jer-
sey manufactures has effected a COM
promise and will propose a plan of
organization at a meeting to be held
in two or three days. By this plan all
manufactures of rubber goods
who wish to join the trust will
pool their own stock and
turn it over to the Central company in
exchange for certified shares of the
trust in proportionate value. These
concerns, which can manufacture rub
Der goods at the lowest rates, will be
continued in operation, while the 9th
ers will shut down. These different
factories kept in operation will make
different grades of goods, with the re-
suit of making more goods with less
labor and much less cost. Instead OF
eight and nine per cent profit, as at
present, the firms interested viii then
be able to realize over fifteen per cent
profit annually. The formation OF
this trust will have three great results:
The profits for the consumers will be
come higher and several thousand
workmen will be thrown out of en-
ployment without any resources to fall
back upon. The company involves &
working capital of S50, 600, 600 and ar
annual trade of 500, 0OO. 600.

by His Vicious Dog.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. S.-Christ Hoelcher

his two-year-old Newfoundland dog,
which he had raised to guard the
premises at night. The brute was
vicious to all except HOelcher's family,
and was kept chained during the day.
On this evening he was given the free

when Christ claimed the right to rule
there and enforced his claim with a
kick the dog few to him and
terrible fight ensued for ten minutes
in which four members of the Hoel-
cher family took part against
the dog, the brute weighing

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-In his address
to the Anti-Poverty Society tonight,
that no more meetings of sympathy
with him be held by his former parish
toner's, said he could never return to
the ministry. In order for him to do
so, either the church would have to
undergo the revolution of methods, or
he would have to retract what he had
said of those methods. The latter was
impossible. The former was impos-
sible at present. If those whose
methods were injuring the church fol-
lowed him with the arts of which they
were masters, he would expose them.
He warned them that he possessed
knowledge that, if revealed, would
make America too hot to hold some of
them. 1t would be prudent to let him

A Senao1innnI Faatnre.

CINCINNATI, Feb. Another sen
Bational feature has been added to the
Metropolitan Bank suspension. 1t is
the arrest of Hon. William Means, the
president of the bank. The warrant
was issued this morning, but was not
served in the usual manner out of re-
gard for Mr.. Means. District At
torney Burnett notified him after
IL o'clock of the issue of
the writ and arranged for Means to go
voluntarily with his bondsmen to the
commissioner Office at o'clock. With
the Fidelity cases fresh in mind, and
with the proof they gave of the Telent-
less power of the government, where
there has been plain transgression
of the law, this arrest causes a decid-
ed sensation. Mr.. Means has had a
leading position among business men
for number OF years, and has been
reputed quite wealthy. He served a
term as mayor, where he was elected
not by party vote, but by combina-
ton whose support was compliment
to the candidate. To have a man of
such prominence put in peril of impris-
onment causes profound feeling. There
is fairly well authenticated state
ment that examination of books and
papers SHOW gross NlOidIkOn VI DdHkulg
law in loans to officers and others
connected with the bank very largely
| in excess of the limit allowed by law to
anyone. 1t is possible that this wrong
doing may have been carried
to such an extent as to imperil
| the banks solvency. At this time il
is not thought that any other arrests
will be made, but of this no other one
can speak with certainty, because
there has not been time for thorough
| examination of the banks affairs.
| President Means appeared this af-
ternoOn at the Office OF United States
Commissioner Dorger with Henry
Hanna, May Fechheimer, Patrick E
Roche and C. NJ. Holloway as suTeties
and gave bond for his appearance il
the sum of go, 900. The charge against
