Never Idle.

The Collins Manufacturing compa-
ny is now busy supplying their pat
rons with pumps, windmills, tanks
and other apparatus needed on the
fam and ranch and their large stock
on hand is being rapidly depleted to
supply the demand. Mr.. +. F. Col
Inns is kept busy, more than ever,
travelling between San Antonio and
Fort Worth to visit his esta blish-
ments in both cities, and he reports
that his Fort Worth house is having
quite as much of boom as
his San Antonio business. Mr.. Col
Inns is the right man for this business,
IS he combines wide-awake business
ideas with the snap and go that
has made him prominent in this COM
munity.

Frank Still Tanning.
Frank Tanning is still tanning the
Fort Worth air but he is by no means
a still Tanning, he is lively one. A
private letter to the LIGHT office from
Frank enquiries what San Antonio is
doing in the way of holding up her
end of the beam at Topeka, assuring
the good people of this city that Gal
weston will be ON deck "with all her
forces to do all in her power to drift
the current in the direction of the
Sand Island.n
The Great Magnetic also finds time
for compliment to the LIGHT, in
which he finds "lots of int resting
matter" and adds-"Do keep Singing
it to me at the Fort until further
orders"
Frank is rushed with business and
cannot tell when he will leave the
Fort for pastures further south.

price the company would sell out to the
new Anaheim irrigation district, it was
resolved to place the stock at SIS per
share. There are 6 6,906 shares of assess
able stock in the company, which will
bring $103 500. To this is added the
debt OF the company, aggregating $4S, 500,

After some discussion it was finally de-
cided to place the amount at $3.50, 900,
which will be finally discussed and an
agreement decided upon at a meeting to
be held a week from Saturday. Some

Sh, Slated Him.

There was rather a sensational attempt
at burglary the other night at Minneapo-
lis, MINI. Mr.. jackson, foreman in the
blacksmith shop at the Industrial works,
recently fell heir to very large fortune
from the old country. The other day
some inquisitiye stranger, to whom Mr.
Jackson gave little attention, asked him
if the expected legacy had yet arrived.
He was dismissed with q brief answer.
and the matter would probably have been
forgot zen were it not for the startling
events which followed.
That very night, some time after 10
o'clock, Mrs. Jackson was awakened by
q noise at one of the windows in the bed
room in which she and her husband were
sleeping. This frightened her, but fright
was increased 10 terror at the sight of
man stealthily creeping over the window
sill into the room.
The plucky little woman never delayed
proceedings by stopping to scream or
shake her husband, but, springing TO
the floor, grasped q convenient bed slat,
swung it with the grace and force of
professional baseball player, made hit
the first time. and with a resounding
whack sent the stunned intruder back
through the window. Her tenerity was
followed by natural reaction, and it
was noon before she recovered her nerves
sufficiently to tell what had occurred.
The open window and blood on the bed
slat suggested that there had been serious
trouble, which was fully explained when
Mrs. Jackson was able TO tell her story.

Many stories have been told on the
plains IS illustrating the verdancy and
eastern innocence of "pilgrirns" and
'.tenderfeet." One of the best which
The News now recalls is related in re-
gard TO the manner In which one of the
old plains ranchmen up near the South
pass got a new wagon. He had an old
one, which was practically worthless,
and he had made many efforts to trade
it of to passing trains and travellers. but
without success. He was getting con-
siderably discouraged when lone pill
grim" appeared at the ranch and camped
for the night. The pilgrim was very
green and, as he was bound over the
mountains. had many questions to ask
about the mountain pass, how wide it
was, and whether wagons experienced
much difficulty in getting through. He
had brand new wagon, which struck
the ranchman's eye, and he determined
to play bold game to get it.
The next morning the pilgrim saw
the ranchman very carefully measuring
his wagon, and very naturally his curl
osity was excited, and his inquiries were
answered by the solemn assurance from
the ranahman that the wagon was just
two inches two wide to get through the
pass. The pilgrim was dumfounded
and in a peck Of tronble. Finally his
eyes rested on the old rattletrap of the
ranchman, which he measured and found
to be two inches narrower than his own.
He promptly proposed trade. The
ranchman demurred. His wagon was
old, to be sure, but then it was narrow
enough to go through the pass in case he
should ever want to visit the Salt Lake
valley. The more he objected the more
importunate the pilgrim" became, and
finally a trade was consummated, the
ranchman getting the new wagon and
pocketing good round sum to boot,
The pilgrim" went on his way rejoic-
ing at his good fortune in getting
wagon which would go through the mar
row pass: but when he reached the west
ern slope he must have realized how
badly he had been victimized, since the
South pass is broad enough TO march an
army through, and not the narrow gorge,
barely wide enough for wagon. which
had been pictured to him and which he
was so willing to believe.-Denver News

ENGLAND WANTS TO DICTATE.
SO There VIII Be No Maritime Con-
ference.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There Is to be no
international maritime conference after all.
Great preparations had been made for the
holding of such conference here in Wash
ington in April next. Invitations had been
sent to the government Of nearly every sea-
faring nation. Congress had appropriated
some $4,000 for the expenses Of the confer
ence, and it had provided for the appoint
ment of American representatives. Nearly
all the governments Invited accepted, and
among them England, but scarcely had the
acceptance OF England been received when
inquiries came pouring In on the State De-
partment from the foreign office In London
wishing to know more In detail the scope Of
the conference: A number Of questions
were asked which the State Department
could not very well answer, since this gov
ernmeut at no time intended to limit the dis
cussi0n OF Interfere In any way In the deli
berati0ns of the members Of the conference.
Receiving, as 1t thought, no satisfactory
to be peremptory In its demands, and 1t
went SC far as to take the ground
that this proposed conference should be
one of preliminary nature only, and that
another conference more formal in its char
acter should be held afterward, under the
auspices OF the British government. The
purpose Of such demand was clear enough.
Without the cooperation Of England, the
conference, OF course, would come to no con
clusions, and as 1t became apparent that her
government was intent upon preventing the
conference from meeting In Washington and
under the auspices Of the United States gov
ernment, Mr.. Bayard has seen ft to recall
the invitations sent out to foreign govern
ments and TO postpone indefinitely the CON
ference.
The purpose Of the conference was to es-
tablish an International code Of signals and
rules Of the road" for the high seas, so as TO
lessen the danger OF collision and to have a
better understanding generally as 10 sea
travel.

Especial to the Press. I

AUGUSTA, Jan. 16.-The committee or
agriculture will be an important committee
this winter, as it was two years ago. Then
the great agitation over tuberculosis and the
investigation and the passage of the cattle
disease bill were important events of the ses.
sion. There yet remains enough of that agi-
tation to make some lively scenes this win.
ter unless all signs fail. An order is now
before the committe on agriculture, sent there
on motion of Mr.. Clason of Gardiner. direct
ing them to inquire whether Chap. so Of the
Resolves of 1887 has been complied with
This is quiet looking order, but within Ii
turks considerable potentiality. That par
ticular chapter is the one which directs the
Secretary of the Board of Agriculture to
publish in his annual report the majority
and minority reports OF the committee, who
two years ago made the famous investigation
into the outbreak of tuberculosis in the State
College herd and in other places. 1t will be
remembered that Hon. z. A. Gilbert secre-
tary of the State Board Of Agriculture, was
intensely opposed to the turn which this in
vestigation took. and held from first to last
that the outcry was useless and the danger
magniied. With him was Hon. l. G. Libby
of Burnham, while equally in earnest on the
other side was Hon. Hall G. Burleigh of Vas
salboro, Dr. George Bailey and many others.
1t is now charged that Secretary Gilbert has
evaded the law and that, instead of publish
ing the committee reports in the agricultural
reports of 1887, as the spirit of the law CON
templated, published them instead in por-
tion only of the edition of 1886. The Clason
order directs the agricultural committee to
inquire into this.
This is not ALL Representative Burleigh
has introduced bill. providing that the sec
retary of the board shall hereafter be ap-
pointed by the [fOVern0r. IL is safe In saw
that Mr.. Gilbert will regard these measures
as crusade against himself and vigorously
resist them. Mr.. Burleigh has also intro
duced a bill Increasing the powers of the
respecting the treatment and
destruction of diseased cattle.
