Says Frank Leslie's Illustrated: ssThe
printers represented at the International
typographical convention, which re-
cently met at Denver, decided to use
the Childs- Drexel fund and other ac-
cumulations IN the treasury for the
establishment of home for invalid and
INDECENT printers, to be erected at Col

The generally accepted theory that .
warm summer follows cold winter, and
vlce-versa, has been examined by London
Science with the aid Of temperature
records made in the same place, under
the Same conditions, twice day for
forty years. Science cannot find any
rule on the subject and comes to the
conclusion that no estimate can be
formed in regard to the character of q
coming season merely by knowing the
character of the past season Of any
greater value than could be gained by
mere guessing.

The Campbell air-ship, an ingenious
combination of gas bags and rotary lans,
has gone the way Of all fying-machines,
says DIR. Oswald in the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The art of flying in calm will
no doubt continue to improve with the
evolution of Yankee inventiveness, but
the ideal of aerial navigation will always
encounter the horns of an inevitable
dilemma: Undressing strength at
the mercy of gravitation; or buoyancy
at the mercy OF the winds.

TIE fearful menace to life by cleo
tricity in new applications to commercial
needs is strikingly illustrated by the re-
port OF the deaths from accidental causes
i'll New York City in 1888. Though
electrical appliances are used for almost
every purpose and electrical wires inter-
lace the city, yet of 1858 deaths only
five were caused by electrical wires.
This, declares the Commercial Ad-
vertiser, conclusively shows that the
facts and figures are against the con-
slant howl about the dangers from cleo
tricity.

In the year 1883 there were in the
United States, declares the Cincin natl
Enquirer, 1854 murders. Perhaps the
word "murdcr" does not, in its strict
legal sense, apply to all of the cases,
but they were all violent ana illegal
killings. The record is not bad one
In proportion to population, but what is
bad is that there were only 81 legal
hangings and LA lynchings.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. % Moth
ing reliable can be learned as to the cab
met, though there have been many ru-
mOrs OF changes that are to take place in
the slate. 1t is generally believed
that the navy and the agricul-
ture departments are still unified,
and Senator Palmer OF Michigan is likely
to take the latter. The navy, it is
thought, will 90 10 the East, yet no
name has been fixed upon, but
it is said Warner Miller could have
it if he desired. This is based
friendship for Miller as on anything else.
The California situation is still one of
uncertainty. The pressure on Gen.
the Pacific slope, it is thought,
has weakened the chances OF
W. II . Miller of this state as it is thought
the department of justice will be given to
the slope. Nothing can be learned def
nitely as to the war department., but the
best opinion is it will go
to Rusk. There appears to be
no longer any room for doubt
that Wauamaker will be the next post
master general. Gossip is now confined
almost entirely to the discussion of the
chances of Dhe Pacific states and law
partner Miller. There seems to be q well
defined impression among politicians here
that, taking into consideration what
transpired at Chicago, the slope can t
well be left out if any acceptable man can
be found, and this has strength
ened the belief here that Estee
will be named for one of
departments. The South has ceased to
be talked about, and it is regarded that
three places now considered doubtful
will be given to the East
and to California. 1t is said
if Palmer of Michigan is given the agri-
cultural department, Rusk will be taken
down and Wilson of Delaware, will be
given the war port folio. This will be
done to preserve Georgia physical equi-
librium

FIGHTING THE COMBINE.
Stockraisers of the Country Organize to
Protect Their Best Interests.
They Form Commission Live stock Company
with Headquarters at Kansas City and Chi
cage and Branch at Fort Worth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. % "A repre-
sentative of the stock raising industry
from nearly every state and territory
west of the Mississippi river, and from
Illinois and Kentucky, practically COM
pleted a work of vital importance to
cattlemen at the Midland hotel
to-day after three days session.
For d long time cattlemen have
thought they were losing money through
combine between commission men and
large packing houses, which resulted in
the sale of their cattle at ridiculous low
prices. The scheme of forming an i'm
mense commission company composed of
stockraisers themselves has been
preached, and a month or so ago meet
ing was held here, attended by leading
cattlemen of the West, for the purpose
of taking steps preparatory to such
an action. But little was accomplished
at the first meeting and an adjournment
was taken until February 20, when the
meeting again convened in this city.
To-day the work was practically finished
and the meeting adjourned until Monday,
March /, when an election of officers of
the new commission company viii take
place. 1t was decided to incorporate the
Commission live stock company with
capital stock of $3.50 200 and head
quarters at Kansas City and Chicago.
The incorporators will be Sam Lazarus of
Texas, A. Gregory of Illinois and Mich
elias T. Eaton and Thomas R. Buggy of
Kansas City. Articles of incorporation
will be filed at Springfield, Ill. March 2.
The idea of the promoters of this move
=. - kI,,s,,
stock at highest prices and with the
least expense possible and with that
end in view headquarters will be estab-
lished at Kansas City and Chicago, with
branches at Wichita, Kas., Fort Worth,
Tex. and possibly Omaha. Stock will
be received and sold on the commission
plan. The new company will confine its
business to its members, but will receive
stock from non members, and viii do
general stock commission business on a
large scale

Dallas Pulling for a RaiIroad.

Dallas Pulling for a Railroad.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Feb. % Dallas is in q
frenzy.
Dallas wants to get its commercial fin
gers in the Northwest, and Is making a
desperate struggle to that end.
Yesterday meeting was held at the
merchants exchange, and Col. ExaIl of
the railroad committee reported that
conferences had been held with Messrs.
Farwen and WIlke of the capitol syndi-
cate, who had offered to undertake the
construction Of the line for 500 600. The
committee had offered to raise bonus Of
$50 900 and a loan of SIPS 900, the loan
TO be refunded III case the syndicate
fOated the bonds nece sary TO construct
the line, otherwise the lenders to retain
an interest III the road. Air. Exall re-
ported that twenty-five gentlemen had
put up the 1925 900 for the loan, but that
it was necessary to raise the
$50 900 bonus Col. Hogg, the engineer,
had reported that one railroad penetrat-
ing the Territory could be safely bonded,
but that two could not. The necessity
of getting into the Territory before the
Fort Worth started the line was para
mount. He did not believe that but one
road would be built to the Northwest,
and he wanted Dallas to do it. Then the
meeting was declared open for subscrip-
tons to the bonus fund, and in few
hours SIG 900 were subscribed, and the
meeting adjourned until to-day.
At the meeting to-day business was
opened by Mr. EXall in one of his charac-
ter5tic appeals He called out for sub
scribers to the $1,000 list, but no resp nSe
came. He dropped to $3.50, and still no
answer. At $500 several responded, and
many more to the $500 and $500
call At the close of the meeting
about S23 900 of the $50 900 had
been subscribed. During the meeting
Mr.. J 7. TreZeyant made speech in
which he eulogiZed the enterprise of Fort
Worth. Foreign capital, he said, was
pouring in that city by the thousands.
Those who thought that the struggle be-
tween Dallas and Fort Worth for COM
mercial supremacy had long since ended
were mistaken The heaviest part OF the
fight was yet to come. For enterprise
and pluck, the Fort Worth people had no
equals or the continent, and Dallas
would have to act literally and in q
united manner to maintain her present
position. He then poke of the import
ance OF the Northwestern railroad for
Dallas.
The conditions of the bonus are one
half of the subscriptions to be paid when
the line is graded through Wise and Jack
counties. The balance is to be paid in
quarterly installments as the road is COM
pleted and operated-fifteen, thirty,
forty-fve and sixty miles. The grade is
to be completed by December l, 1899,
and the line to be in operation for sixty
miles by March / 1890.
A tremendous effort is being made to
raise the bonus, with fair prospects of
success.
