Hesse, was solemnized in the chapel Of

bride and bridegroom had exchanged
rings. Both Emperor Frederick and the

BURNETT, May 24.-The majesty of the
law in the county court here has been
wrestling with an exceedingly knotty
| question. The reason of its knottiness is
that it involves the purloinment, stealage
! and 'toting" away from the premises of
the owner eighteen railroad ties, so full of
knots that they were refused, and we're
valued in the monetary count of the
charge at five cents each, rolling up the
handsome total of ninety cents. 1t was
charged that the defendant, an old Ger
man named Valentine Plevon, had re-
moved said sticks, pieces or billets of tim
Der, together with the knots and knot
holes and with the same reared and built
a certain editice, to-wit: A pig pen for
his own use, behoof and benefit; also for
the benefit of the swine which in said pen
received the necessary aliment to render
them adipose, comfortable and happy.
| Eleven witnesses were examined, and the
| jury rendered verdict of guilty, asses
sing the punishment at twelve hours in
| jail
The next meeting of the workingmen's
convention, now permanent organi-
cation in this county, will be held here
| next Saturday, the 26th inst. At that
time the reports of the various commit
tees appointed at the last meeting will be
heard and the objects of the organization
more clearly outlined.
Considerable Cain is being raised by
some individuals in this county regarding
allowances to county officers for extra
services. The commissioners court has
been severely, and your correspondent
thinks unjustly, criticized for making
such allowances. An expression from the
attorney-g general on the law regulating
this subject would be read with great in
terest by the people of this county, and,
no doubt, others also.
The contract for the granite work in
the new government building in San
Antonio has been awarded to Robert
Shannon, of this place. The contract is
one of considerable extent, and the cutting
and polishing will all be done at the Bur-
net Steam Granite works, located in this
place.

Cattle Notes.

Dallas News: Col. G. G. Slaughter has
returned from trip to the Long S and
Running Water ranches, and he says he
never saw the west in a more promising
condition. West Texas, and in fact the
country all along the line of the Texas and
Pacific, has received an abundance of rain
and he never saw the grass finer or surface
water more abundant at this time of year,
and a more prolific crop of weeds mixed
with the grass the west never produced.
The Panhandle, though, has not Jared so
well. The man in charge of a herd of
1900 head of steers which he started
north few days ago, writes that the grass
in the Panhandle is fully ten days behind
that on the plains and that surface
water is very scarce. The Run
ming Water ranch, which Is located
in the Panhandle, is very poorly
provided with either grass or water.
The steer cattle have been pretty. well

shipped out of the west, and there will for
that reason be no steer beeves to speak OF
to ship this fall, but if the rains keep
their present lick, there will be a smart
shrinking of dry COWS for market from
that section. Colonel Slaugh er says that
while there is not so much spaying being
done on the range as there. was last year
still there is good deal OF II.
Cotulla Ledger: The business of feed
ing beef cattle on prickly pear and cotton
seed meal will soon be suspended here
until next winter. Nearly all that are il
the pens now are fat enough to market
and will soon be shipped off. 1t is need
less to say that the business will be carried
on extensively here next winter, as nearly
all OF those who tried it the past winter
have made money at it and will GO at il
again at the proper time. They have
learned by experience what class of cattle
make the most money, and know more
about the business in every way than
formerly, and can feed to much better
advantage than ever before.

The Cattle Quarantine.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.


Fort WORTH, May 25.-W. d. Reynolds,
of the cattle firm of Reynolds Bros, of
Albany, came to Fort Worth tonight and
takes the Fort Worth and Denver train for
Denver city to- morrow to look after some
cattle he has on the Colorado state line
detained under the quarantine regulations
of Colorado. There are three
herds detained, two belonging
to Reynolds Bros, of LOO head
each, and one of W. H. Moore's, number
ing 100 head. The quarantine line
recognized by the bureau of animal indus
try passes through the pastures of Rey-
nolds Bros. in Throckmorton and Haskell
counties, from which their cattle are
taken. For the past three years Mr.. Rey-
nolds says his company has been in the
habit of driving cattle over the same trail
and from the same range as those now
held on the line. The excuse for the pres
ent trouble is mere bubble raised on a
point never before brought forward by
the Colorado sanitary authorities.

Queen and Gear in Berlin.
Berlin Dispatch to London Daily Telegraph.

Berlin Dlspatch 10 LONDON Dally Telegraph
When Queen Victoria was at Berlin |
refrained purposely from comparing her
majesty's reception by the population
with that accorded to the ozar in Novem-
Der last. Any comparison was, indeed,
utterly impossible. The czar was received
in solemn silence, respectfully but coldly;
the queen with enthusiasm as noisy and
boisterous as it ever is in this capital. On
the day of the czar's arrival in Berlin the
whole police of the town were on duty for
twenty-four hours, and the greatest pre-
cautions had to be taken for his majesty's
safety. In Charlottenburg the police
director did not even ask for extra men
to keep the station clear.

therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make II the object OF
