CLOIURE NOT POPULAR.
Springer Says the Southerners Are
Opposed to It,


CHICAGO, July 2. Congressman Will
lam NJ. Springer. chairman of the ways
and means committee of the nationa
house of representatives, is III the city
on his way to his summer home at
Traverse City, Mich, where he viii
remain until he has recovered his
health. Mr.. Springer does not think
that the house will take up the Stewart
silver bill this session, although many
of the Democratic members may like
very much to do so in order 10 compel
the president to take decided stand
on the question, and thus give the
Democracy point to work on in the
November election.
1T is hardly probable that the bill
will come before the house this session..
because, in orderto bring 1t up at all
the cioture rule will have to be adopted,
and. as it takes majority of ali the
members of congress 10 pass the cloture
rule, it is not likely that itcan he passed
now Oh account of its being so late, and
then not much over two-lhirds of the
members are present. and many OF these
. who are present are Southerners, and
they are bitterly opposed to cioture. If
the bill is allowed TO take its course at
the foot of the calendar it will take five
years to get to it. 1t is barely possible
that the cloture rule will be passed and
a vote will be taken, but l do not think

Hennessey, Okla, Perpetuates a
Brave Mans Memory.


Brave Mans Memory.
Ell Reno Letter in the New York Press.
Among the many new towns that have
sprung up like magic in this remarkable
country, one has been named Hennes-
sey. On the choice of that name hangs
a romantic story of a tragedy of the
plains. At the time of the Cheyenne
Indian outbreak in 1887, an Irishman
named Patrick Hennessey drove gov
ernment freight wagon from Caldwell
to Fort Reno. On one of his trips he
had for passengers two soldiers and
young ''tenderfoot' New York
boy, who wanted TO see the
wild side of life on the
plains. 1t was beautiful fall morning
when Hennessey frightened up his re ms
and headed for old Reno. 1t was dan
gerous drive. for the country was full of
warlike Cheyennes; but ali that day
and the next the party travelled with
out seeing any signs OF Indians. AT
nightfall OF the second day they turned
into camp at the head of the great
''wash," just above the pretty valley of
Turkey creek. These washes, are
supposed to have been made by vast
bodies of water centuries ago. This
one had banks hundred feet high,
which extended out in the, open prairie
in the shape of letter W.
At sunrise HenneSsey Teconnoitered,
saw suspicious footprints on the bluff
and decided Oh an immediate start, but
a broken harness delayed the party
until O'Clock. just as the numbering
cid train wagon got fairly out of the
wash scores OF reds came galloping
down Turkey creek valley, painted and
frescoed in ali their tints of war. They
Immediately attacked the freiehters.
Hennessey and his companions were
we'll prepared with firearms and
plenty of ammunition, but the soldiers
proved to be towards. In the hustle of
piling up the merchandise III the shape
of breastworks they loosened two of the
horses and escaped into the forest a
mile away, leaving the old driver and
the New York boysto fight alone. The
Indians charged up the wash and fired.
killing one of the two remaining horses.
They were repelled by avolley from the
SlXteen-shoOter carbines in tine hands of
the occupants of the wagon.
The next volley shattered one of the
New York boys arms, rendering him
entirely helpless. The brave-hearted
HenneSsey bound the wounded boy to
the remaining horse, and with cut of
the lash sent the animal with its
wounded rider into the woods. A few
of the Indians charged after the Injured
lad AT this moment Hennessey made
a dash for the ''wash," earring with him
two siXshooter carbines and two large
navy revolvers. He found concealment
i'll a crevasse in the rocks that admitted
of approach only directly in front.
For two hours that little mitch in the
bank belched forth its deadly streams
Of fire, and the victims of the unerring
aim of the brave Hennessey were strewn
IN all directions. He had emptied his
reyOlverS and one of the carbineS when

WASHINGTON, July 2.-According to
the rules of the house, the free silver
bill, which came over from the senate
today, will lie on the speakers table for
one legislative day, and will then be re-

Pending action on the bill by the COM

to feel the sentiment for or against the
: bill among the members of the house,
and this the managers of the respective
sides are doing with more or less vigor
and success. AS there would be but
small prospect of reaching vote on the
bill if unlimited debate were allowed.
the talk today has primarily been con-
fined to discussion of the question
whether there will be q cloture rule,
and secondariiy. if there is one. how the
Republicans will vote if such a rule is
reported.
The anti-Silver Democrats have as
yet held no formal conference, but they
are doing good deal OF missionary
work. They believe that they have suf-

can obtain the assistance of the Repub-

UNION SLAUGHTER PENS.

What They are to be Used For and
How They are Run.
Recently q considerable amount of
interest has been exhibited by the
public In regard to the Union
Slaughter Pens which are to be built
by the butchers of this city, just
south of the Union Stock Yards, and
which when finished will be the
finest affair of its kind in the state
and q great help to the city.
The amount which this place
Will cost in building is not known.
Mr.. Schuele, who has charge of that
part of the business, left the city for
st. Louis, Wednesday, to confer with
the architects and contractors of that
place in regard to the machinery and
other things OF the plans. No further
action will be taken until he returns.
In this city considerable amount
of competition is going on among the
contractors who want the building of
the place.
Several thousands of dollars will be
saved by the butchers annually by
this plant, which otherwise would
have been thrown away. Such for
instance: The offal of the animal,
which will be utilized in the best man
ner possible and placed in the market;
the best bones will be made into
knife and tooth brush handles,
etc.; the smaller and poorer bones will
be utilized into valuable fertilizer,
and sold.
The best bones will be shipped to
furniture manufacturers and the poor
ones like poor bones be made into
glue. The tallow will be made into
ole, for oleomargarine and sold to but
ter manufacturers.
OF hair the best will be converted
into brushes, and the poor used in
making plaster. The best hog hair
will be used as bristles. The blsd
ders will be used for putty. Thus
nearly the whole of the animal will
be used In some manner or other.
In the building cod storage will
he placed Tor the use of butchers
where they can keep their meats
from spelling by having them frozen
and then put in this place and kept
at a smaller cost than feeding the
stock the same length of time. In
the cold storage rooms vegetables,
fish, oysters etc, will also be kept
for those who wish il.
Ice will be manufactured for the
butchers here and they will be al
lowed it as near cost as possible.
This alone will be a great amount OF
money saved by them.
A street car line, which is to be run
out TO this place, will be finished at
about the same time that the plant is
completed.
