They're After Jay.
Special to the Gazette.

special 10 the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The Times prints the
following: Jay Gould said not long ago
that the did not own majority of stock in
any of the railroad property that he con-
trolled. He added with what then appeared
to be tinge of sarcasm that the stockhold
ers of the Missouri Pacific road could, if
they became dissatisfied with his manage
ment, put him out of the presidency. News
Travelled fast in Wall street and probably
Gould has heard before this that some of
the Missouri Pacific stockholders propose
TO act upon the hint that he has given
them. They are dissatisfied with his man
agement and they desire to get control Of
the property into their own hands. Efforts
are under way to organize concerted move
ment on the part of the stockholders who
are not under Gould's direct control. 1t is
not their ayowed desire to bring about a re-
ownership.
They propose first to have some eminently
responsible financial institution send out
circular letter soliciting proxies to be voted
at the annual election next March. There
are holders of large blocks of stock who,
within a few days. have expressed the be-
lief that large majority OF the stock could
readily be induced to vote against Jay Gould
if a properly organized movement to that
end was set on foot. The anti-Gould stock
holders are not disgruntled especially be-
cause Gould insisted upon passing the usual
/ per cent dividend this quarter. They are
angry at anything that was done. They say
they didn't want dividend if the road had
not earned it. and they are indignant at the
intimations made by Gould that he had
deceived them here by paying unearned
dividends out of his own pocket.
1t is argued here that had Gould allowed
the public and stockholders to know just
how the Missouri Pacific railroad stood
financially nine months ago, there would
not have been any such sudden drop of 20
per cent in the value of the stock as was
brought about by Gould's peculiar methods.
These disgruntled stockholders believe that
they have fairly good property in the Mis-
souri, Pacific road if it is managed honestly
and in a way that all persons interested
may know what is going on. A busy rumor
went the rounds yesterday TO the effect that
Samuel Sloan, president of the Lackawanna
system. was SO disguised with Gould's
methods of managing the property he will
withdraw from the directory of several
corporations that Gould controls. Sloan is
director of the Missouri Pacific, Western
Union company and Manhattan railway
company. He maintains grim silence
as to his intentions.

Gould and the South.

Whoever it may hurt. it is certain that
Mr.. Gould's new deal will help the South.
These Western lines which are now in 3
state of uneasiness have formed a pool or
com animation east of St. Louis, and they
were hurting Mr. Gould's Missouri Pacific
and its branch lines very seriously by tax
ing away from them their grain traffic.
This is why the dividend was passed. The
grain that used to go to st. Louis is now
diverted by the pool so as TO go to Chicago
direct from Kansas City. Mr.. Gould, after
explaining this situation, was asked if there
was no remedy for it. He made his reply.
which has caused the pool lines to regard
him.as disturber of traffic: ''Oh, yes
he said, I'VE will overcome it in i few
weeks. We are pushing to completion 4
connecting link that will enable US to de-
liver wheat and other grain at New Orleans
for export over the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain at the same price that the
other roads can lay it down AT Chicago.
We also have connection with and an out
let at Memphis
The connecting link 10 which Mr.. Gould
alludes is the newiline from Fort Smith to
junction with the Cotton Belt. which will
give the Missouri Pacific a short route TO
New Orleans over the Cotton Belt and
Texas Pacific. both of which are controlled
by Gould. When the line is completed,
which will be within the course of a few
weeks, the same rates Will DC adopted from
points in Kansas to New Orleans that are
in force between Kansas and Chicago. In
this new movement or deal" as it is
called, Mr.. Gould has the active aid and
sympathy of Mr.. Huntington, of the South
ern Pacific. To the great grain-carrying
traffic which Mr.. Gould can divert from
Chicago to New Orleans, ana to other
southern ports by means Of the Richmond
Terminal system, the Huntington lines can
add the transcontinental trade from Cali
forna over the Southern Pacific. The ad-
vantage of this new movement is that traffic
reaches tide-water at New Orleans for the
same rate that it reaches Chicago, which is
1000 miles from tida-water.- Atlanta Con-

SHEEP IN ORCHARDS.

They Are Better and More Profitable
Scavengers Than Hogs.
Sheep are declared by those who hav 9
had experience to be better scavengers
in an orchard than hogs are, as they
will eat up cleaner every thing that
drops from the trees. Moses, clover,
grasses and weeds that thrive in the
shade are eaten off closer by sheep and
the whole orchard is kept cleaner, while
there is no disturbance of the soil by
roofing. The objection to, sheep in the
orchard is that they will gnaw the bark
off from young trees, especially if they
are not fully fed and are allowed to go
hungry. This gnawing can be prevent
ed by an application of coal tar. kero-
sene, tar or wash prepared by mixing
one quart of soft soap, one quart OF lime.
one quart of pine tar with three gallo; s
of sheep, COW or hen manure, stu ring
in sufficient quantity of water to make
it about the same consistency az ordi-
nary whitewash. Apply to the body of
the trees with a whitewash brush,
splint broom or with the hand y ell pro
tected with q heavy cloth mitten This
of course will not protect the lark of
the trees from bruises by horns. The
ewes not wearing horns as genera
thing, are perfectly safe from harm I'd
the trees caused by barking in that way,
and the rams are easily kept by them
selves elsewhere. The applications
named are also good for protection Of
the trees against many insect and
worms. Cohnan's Rural World

MOOR BATHS.
A Singular Medium for the Cure of Many
Maladies,

A Singular Medium for the Cure Of Many
The moor baths, of which much is
now heard, and which are provided at
many Austrian and German health re-
sorts, were first used at Franzensbad.
In 1928 Dr. Poschmann, a physician
there, believed that he had found in
them new curative medium, and they
have since become popular. Some
physicians still question their efficacy,
while others in Austria and Germany
rely upon them to render good service
in many maladies Though the bath is
composed of peat or moor earth to
which enough water has been added to
make thick paste of the mass, yet the
peat is different rom that which is ex-
tracted from q bog in Ireland or Scot
land. In both Ireland and Scotland
the peat is used as fuel; at Franzenshad
the mineralized peat will not serve
such purpose. The bog from which
it is extracted has been saturated
throughout countless ages with mineral
water, and the product is strong chem
ical compound. Thus moor bath is
mineral bath in concentrated form,
and effects are produced upon the sys-
tenn by taking course of these baths
which can not be produced, according
to experts, by any mineral water.--
