death, but those at the head of the movement
preferred 10 keep the matter quiet, as SO many
attempts OF similar nature. born amid the en-
thusiasm OF the moment, die in their infancy for
lack Of substantial support. Not only does
the project meet with favor in Seattle, but
the commissioned officers OF the Tacoma com
panies st q meeting held on Wednesday
evening took the initiative step toward the
contamination Of the idea. The matter
will take definite shape at a meeting to be
held at Seattle in the near future. The
officers entertain the idea that there are many
outside of militia circles who would gladly con-
tribute to fund for this purpose. Certain it is
that the rank and file of the First regiment
would respond literally. Owing to a combina-
tioa of sickness and bad weather there was no
meeting Of the officers on Thursday night. The
only gentlemen present were Lieutenant Colonel
Joseph Green, Captain l. s. Booth and Lieu
tenant Theodore y. Halter Had the meeting
been generally attended two important ques-
tons would have come up for consideration
the election of colonel and the project for the
erection OF a monument to the memory of the
late Colonel J. G. Haines

In answer to notification for the inspection of
his company, claims that the armory at that
place is unsafe; that the guns have been re-
moved 10 storehouse, and that there is no place

thinks that the inspection has been ordered with
a view OF mastering the company out of service

The Francis Murphy Gospel Temperance

and deserves the cordial support OF ali who
deem the effectual and lasting reformation of
the victims OF the habit of drinking intoxicants
thing OF paramount importance. Not only is
a meeting held every night in Olympic hall.
LILO second street, but it is well attended, and
aceessions are nightly made TO the order OF blue
ribbon wearers. The writer OF this writes
knowingly in giving unqualified commendation
TO this non-political, bipartisan and beauti-
fully philanthropio organization. The friendly
welcome extended to all Corners, and enthusi-
astie speaking and singing, and withal, the
keeping the welllighted and well-warmed hall
open every night of the week make the place
Infinitely preferable to the saloons OF the city

Changed Owners.

For several weeks past quite an unusual
interest has been manifested in the St
Louis National stockyards for the reason
that it was reported that the yards had been
sold. and that the control would 90 from the
possession of the original parties, VINO have
had control for eighteen years into new
hands to-day. SSeveral different stories
were published concerning the deal by the
newspapers, but it was not generally un-
derstood that all the Easternsdirectors had
sold their interests, had resigned their Of
fees and that the meeting was called by
the remaining directors, Nelson Morris. s
w. Allerton and President C. G. Knox
in order 10 ill the vacancies and elect OFF,
GERS TO conduct the business for the new
owners of the yards. The stockyards beisg
aowned by joint stock company this prsee-
dure was equal to transfer of the prop
erty. This change means 4 great deal for
the ST. Louis YARDS. The stock business,
done at that point languished for whae
but with the location of several large psSkz
ing plants there, business revived.
In 1891 business was greater by neatly 60
per cent than in 1889, and with the addi-
tional facilities for handling business, that
the new ownership will inaugurate, it is
thought that this increase will be easily
maintained. The retiring directors are:
