the school month ending May A.; Jay

Roberts, Eva Counsell Jennie Powell,
Mamie Meredith, and Mary Jones.

The city has new Chief of Police.
Mayor Kupfer nominated Chris Schend for
that position at the Council meeting Mon
day evening and the nomination was oon-
firmed by the council At the same time
Peter Sorenson was elected special day
policeman. Both these gentlemen were
sworn in Tuesday morning anG immediate
to be seen whether the saloons will be
compelled to obey the ordinances passed
by the City Council or whether under the
sanction of the Mayor and his Chief of
Police they will be permitted to openly
violate and disregard them. If the Mayor
does not intend to have the ordinances en-
forced they had better be repealed. Such
contempt for constituted authority is pro-
ductive of crime and disorder on all hands
and it educates the youth to a notion that
law may be obeyed, or violated at will with
impunity. The moral effect of enforced
law is greater than the direct results. Our
city authorities should consider these mat
tiers seriously.
Carrie Faden, Grace Martin, Agnes
Hartnell, and Ray Hartnell, pupils of Dis

looks after the small features of her vast
interests with much keener eye than most
poor people. That is doubtless the way
she has built up her immense fortune:

OF for Home.

The Illinois, Missouri and Kansas dele
gates to the recent interstate cattlemen g
convention left for home yesterday
morning at 9 'clook, over the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, in charge of Maj.
Hunt, general livstock agent, and John
ID. Redman, general claim agent of the
road. These latter two gentlemen each
carried with them, as tokens Of the ap-
probation Of the delegates of the three
named states, of the courtesies extended
by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and
the personal attention paid to their wants
and comfort by Messrs. Hunt and Red
man, two very beautiful gold headed
canes. While the intrinsic value of these
handsome souvenirs is considerable, the
recipients of them value them for the
spirit which prompted the donors in Civ
ing them, and the sincere expressions of
good will and esteem which accompanied
their presentation.
The train bearing this party will make
a twenty-four-ho run TO Hannibal.

a Great Russian Road.

The Russian government has under
taken and is pushing forward the build
ing of line of railroad, 1000 miles long,
from St. Petersburg to Vladirostock on
Behring's Strait. This road, already
known as the Trans-Siberian railroad :,
brings Russian railway facilities to the
boundary line between that great empire
and the Alaskan possessions of the United
States. In view of the extent and the
Importance Of the Russian enterprise, q
movement is already on foot to bring
about the building through Canadian
and United States territory of line, ex-
tending along the Pacific coast, from
Vancouver's Island to Behring's Strait.
When this line is completed, railroad
communication between the United
States and Asia will be practically estab-
Iished and the earth as nearly girdled by
the steel-rail- clad course OF the iron
horse, as the natural formations of land
and water will permit.

GOULD AT Ell PASO.

He Closes Contract for T. and P. Depot
GrOunds-To Bridge the Rio 0rande.
The White Oaks Line.
Special to the Gazette.
Ell PAso, TEX, March 14.-Mr. Gould
closed negotiations last night for depot
grounds for the Texas and Pacific, pay
ing Judge Magoffin S2l 800 for the tract
of land desired. He has also selected
the site for a bridge across the Rio
Grande to have independent connections
with the Mexican Central railroad. at
present the Texas and Pacific pays five
dollars for every car transferred over
the Mexican Central bridge.
It is believed that Mr.. Gould has stolen
march on the Rock island people by
securing the most valuable terminal ia
oilities, and there is something more be-
hind his heightened stay here than mere
terminal facilities for the Texas and Pa
cific. To-day he took drive of ten
miles, over the line of the White Oaks
railr DAD, to Lanoria.
Mr.. Gould is greatly pleased with the
climate, and says he is in better health
that he has been for years.

Cisco via Archer,

ARCHER CITY, TEX, March 49,
Another railroad is talked of for Archer
City, starting from Cisco, Eastland
county, and running, via Archer, to a
point on the Fort Worth and Denver rail-
road. Some of Cisco's leading citizens
are working for this road in connection
with Eastern capitalists. Archer has
got more. railroads on its hands now than
any city in Northwest Texas, except
Fort Worth. Let them come. There
will be no trouble in raising all the bonus
they may require. Archer City will be a
large railroad center and the best town
north of Fort Worth in the near future.

An Important Deal,


The recent sale in Boston of a major
Ity, which means a controlling interest,
of the stock of the Chicago, Burlington
and Northern road to the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy is regarded in rail-
road circles as one of the most important
transactions in railroad property of the
present year. The Chicago, Burlington
and Northern is a road, extending from
Aurora, ILL.,, to St. Paul, MINI. 1t con-
meets with the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy at Aurora, ILL.,, and has
running arrangements with that road
into Chicago. Up to the time of the
passage of the interstate commerce law
preventing pooling it had a prosperous
career, and its stock steadily advanced.
Its stockholders were at one time offered
S97 per share for their stock, but wanted
Sll0. The interstate commerce law be-
ing adverse to the interests of the rail-
road, accompanied by the fact of over
building in the Northwest, the stock fell
TO $50. In order TO eliminate from the
Northwestern railway system a trouble
some factor the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy has finally secured control
of It, 1t is now safe to prophecy a re-
newal of rate cutting by that road, and
as lively traffic war as has been known
for some time
