Cowboys Make a Conductor "Dance."

Cowboys Make a Conductor Dance"
a band of cowboys in Montana had long
noticed a course of behavior on the part of
a Northern Pacific train conductor which
they determined not to tolerate. The con.
ductor did the worst thing, in cowboy :
opinion, that any man could do-he acted
like dude; he put on style" He actu-
ally went so far as to swing himself off the
cars before they stopped, and, with one
arm extended and head Extensively erect,
would shout: "Dingleville All out for
Dingleville" His whole manner was arti.
fetal, affected and unbearable.
This being noticed-aId no one is quicker
to notice the hollow trickery of an eastern
man than cowboys are-the boys decided
to take him down" So one day they as.
sembled on the station platform in semi.
circular line, into the curve of which he
must run as he leaped from the moving
cars. The conductor did as he was eX.
pected to, the cowboys surrounded him,
and he was hidden to dance.
Dance" they shouted. Dance, or we'll
shoot the toes off you"
AT the words each cowboy pulled his
pistol and began shooting down into the
platform planks, not exactly at the con-
ductOr's feet, but so as to narrowly miss
them. They blaZed away and he danced,
until, after he was all but exhausted and
they had no more shots to fire, they babe
him go on with the train and never "show
up" at Dingleville until he could behave
like man.-Julian Ralph in Harper's

Wales Study.

The Prince of Wales private study a,
Sandringham is anything but pretentious.
1t is one of the smallest rooms in the
house and is lit by a large single window.
The woodwork is of all light oak and the
walls and ceiling of neutral tint. There
are no hangings, no -brac, no orna,
ments of any kind, no soft rugs even on
the oaken floor. The principal piece OF
furniture is solid, square oaken desk, at
which the prince writes all his private
letters.
The princes wastebasket is odd. 1t is

ness and resembles a huge chimney pot.
hat. There are no books in the room, but
a huge collection Of pipes and cigars is ar.
ranged on shelves. A telephone connects
Sandringham with Marlborough House,
and is fixed by the side OF the study
window.

Paper from Cornhnsks.

The husk of Indian corn is being used in
the manufacture of paper. In some ex-
periments to test this use the husks were
thrown into rotary boiler, and after be-

full of glutinous substance. This paste

1t seems to us that Gov. Hogg had
better be at home attending to some
of those numerous things that he in.

spending his time inficting the dear
people with an attempted justification
OF his INSTRUMENTATION. If he does
not do them now he never will, for
''there is tide in the affairs of gov
ernors which taken at the flood leads
down to private life," and he is seated
on the very crest of it beyond the
reach of hope or help.

Hogg's pitiable effort to array the
country against the towns is very
amusing. He attempts to work on
credulity and prejudice only bringing
the contempt they so richly merit down
on himself. The farmer is possessed
of intelligence to vote and act for
himself, and he proposes to do it. He
keeps informed on all issues, and all
attempts to mislead him with false
cries or side. track him on dead issues
only meet the scorn of the farmer, and
the failure they deserve. The farmer
has been an equal sufferer under the
present INSTRUMENTATION, aud he is
not to be deceived bv loud words and
false pretenses. He knows that
the commission law is engrafted in
the constitution beyond the power of
forty governors to remove it were they
so inclined, and the cry raised by
Hogg and his fuglemen that "the
commission is in danger" is as sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbals to
their ears. Hogg will learn after a
while that the farmers are not fools,
and will cease to make himself
ridiculous.

THE DALLAS NEWS CROP REPORT.

The Dallas News of Yesterday con.
tanned fifteen columns set in nonparlel
type giving the condition and relative
acreage compared with last year of the
crop of Texas, The enterprise of the
News in collecting and printing this
valuable and interesting information
is without parallel in the South and
has been seldom equaled anywhere.
One has the fields of Texss,an empire
within itself, before his eyes when he
gszes at this magnificent report. A
summary of this voluminous matter is
as follows:
1.-THE crop report represents 1898
neighborhoods, covering the cotton
and small grain counties of the state
The cotton acreage in 2i6 neighbor-
hoods shows a decrease varying from 5
to rs per cent; in 10 localities an in
crease of from 10 to 800 per cent, and
at 46 points the same acreage as last
season. The increase is principally in
sod lands. The average decrease is
2l.42.
As rule there was sufficient rain
during the seeding period to insure
good stand. The season is between
two and three weeks late, The spring
drouth did no damage other than re-
tard planting and prevent termination
and growth of plant. In many local.
ties replanting was necessary owing
to cold waves and hailstorms. The
present condition eff the plant is fully
up to last years May average.
The great maj ority of the reports
indicate clean fields and that farmers
are we'll up with their work. Mois-
ture was needed at the time the re.
ports were made up, but since then
root soaking rains have been general
except in portions of the southwest,
west central and northwest sections of
the state, that are pastural rather than
farming districts. The rain will be
of great benefit improving the condi-
ton of cotton fully s per cent.
Cut worms are reported in Hardin,
Polk, San Jacinto, Caldwell, Medina
and Maverick counties.
Wheat and oats in the grain belt
proper are fine and promise better
yield per acre than last year. The
acreage in wheat was cut
short by drouth, but the acreage as
with last season is about
the same. The acreage of oats shows
an increase OF 20 per cent. Wheat is
finely headed and the indications are
that the quality of the grain will be
better than for years. Outside of the
small grain belt proper the crops are
short, the greatest decrease being in
wheat. The straw is short but the |
plant as a rule we'll headed. In some
localities both wheat and oats are
total failures.
The condition of other crops are
promising. Sugar cane is doing finely |
on an increased acreage. Corn is
healthy and vigorous, and the acreage
increase is about proportionately as
large as the decrease in cotton. Some |
Of the crop reports note that farmers
are turning their attention to vegeta.

EFFECT ON WALL STREET.

Considerable Offerings of Gould Stock
 But No Break Occurred.
 There was an interval of nearly an hour between the time that the first news of his death reached the "Street" and the opening of the Stock Exchange, and nothing else but the death of the sage financier and the probable effect of his death on the properties with which he was prominently identified was dis cussed.
 It was the consensus of opinion among brokers that there would be some selling of those properties, but none would ad- init that there was any fear of an exten- sive selling.
 Some brokers were of the opinion that the properties were well protected and nothing in the shape of a very decided break would occur.
 When the market did open there was large crowd in the board room, and for a time there were considerable offerings of the Goulders, notably Mis- souri Pacific. Western Union, Manhattan and Atchison stocks were also sold to a considerable extent, but they only broke fractionally. Missouri Pacific m lde the greatest decline 3-4 per cent. to 54, but recovered in the first fifteen minutes to 55. The market then steadied somewhat
 There was very little excitement at the opening of the market.

THE PASSING OF GOULD|
Last Moments of the "Wall
 Street Wizard"
MOST REMARKABLE MAN OF HIS TIME

Marvellous Rise of Poor Boy to Power Neighborhood of One Hundred Million His Children-His Death as Yet Pro. duces Little Effect on Wall Street-In. cidents of His Career.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Arrangements for the funeral of Jay Gould, the mill lionaire, who died yesterday, have. now been completed. It will be held from the house Monday at 10 a. m.
 Rev. Dr. Paxton, pastor of the Presby- terian Church in which Mir. Gould wor- shipped, will conduct the services. He will be assisted by Rev. Chancellor Nc Cracken and Rev. Rederick Terry.
 The choir from Dr. Paxton's Church will take part in the services. The inter- ment will be at Woodlawn.
 The utmost secrecy was observed at the health office regarding the certificate of death of Mir. Gould, which was filed in the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the afternoon. An undertaken, and even his name will not be told, called upon Secre- tary Clark and requested that the rep resentatives of the press should not have access to the certificate.
 This is all that is known of the certifi- cate, that it was signed by Dr. Mum and that it gave the cause of MT. Gould's death as phthisis pulmonarius.
 The end came at 9:15 o'clock. Just before he died, MT. Gould, realiz- ing that he had but little while longer to live, expressed desire that all the members of his family be called, that he might look upon them for the last time.
 He was perfectly conscious and en- tirely composed, meeting the end with calmness.
 His mind was clear to the last, as was demonstrated by the fact that he missed the face of member of the family who had left the room for moment.
 Mr. Gould's last words were in the form of request that he might, at the closing moments of his life, be sur rounded by the beloved members of his family.

face, white teeth and clear gray eyed under the shade of a big Tapping hat, or perhaps you meet her at one of Mrs. Richard Gilder's informal receptions, looking brown but lovely in dainty white evening gown. Between you and me one of the things like about Mrs. Cleveland is her taste in dress.
 once went to sort of an open air fancy fair, which was given in Marion for the benefit of the village library. Of course Mrs. Cleveland's presence would help the thing along and of course with her usual kindness Mrs. Cleveland was ready to further good object. I liked the way she did it though. People came expecting to find her well en evi. dence and enjoy good stare, but she was nowhere to be seen. She didn't particularly want to be seen. She was hidden from public view, playing the part of postmistress. Now, the post of. fee was sort of little booth rigged ur with tiny window, at which you came and asked if there was any mail for you. And the postmistress, after asking youI name and looking the letters over, would reply yes, there was one for you and there was ten cents due upon it. Thereupon you paid your ten cents and received a letter which, during the brief delay, had been properly ad- dressed. Of course with lot of clever people inside the little booth, knowing all about most of those outside, there were lots of bright personalities and jokes at every ones expense. I know for my dime received an impertinent bit of rhyme, which makes me laugh yet whenever look at it. But later in the day, when it became known that Mrs. Cleveland was officiating there the rush to the little window reduced her at first to merely writing auto. graphs and eventually to closing the office.
 Suppose that was the only post office that Mrs. Cleveland ever influenced. Everyone knows that she has never at, tempted to bias her husband in favor of any of her friends. And everyone knows with what courteous frmness he declined having even the name of his beautiful wife used to advance hls political fortunes. I think we all re- spect both husband and wife for this delicate reserve. Nevertheless, her un- doubted popular1ty-so sweetly won, sc modestly worn-has probably helped to place them both in the proud position for which they are so well fitted.

HIS EARLY DAYS.
Incidents at Roxbury, Where the Finan
 cier Was Born.

Incidents at Roxbury, Where the Finan-
 cier Was Born.
 RoNDoUT, N. Y.. Dec. 3.-In the little village of Roxbury, Delaware coun ty, where Jay Gould was born in 1886, the news of his death caused much sorrow, as the great financier had many boyhood friends there, some of whom are now living. He came of Puritan stock, his grandfather coming to Delaware county from Connecticut in l779.
 The eldest son of this famous Captain Gould was the first male child born in that wilderness. Jays father was a strict Methodist, and Jay, his brothe rs and sisters always attended meeting in the Taller meeting house.
 When the lad was 10 years old the antirent war broke up the school he at tended when not working on the farm. In this war band of masked men at tackled his fathers house, and Jay showed his pluck by standing in the door with his father. both of whom had guns.
 Jay afterward attended private school, leaving when 16 to study survey ing. He helped make 8 road map of Ulster county and later drew maps of Delaware, Albany and Otsego counties. Soon after this he was manager of d hardware store at Roxbury and slept under the counter
 While here he wrote history of Della ware county, and sent the copies which were made back to the publisher in dis gust, as his name was spelled "Gold" all through It.
 Throughout his early life Jay was con- sidered very shrewd. In 1857 he under took the management of a hemlock for est in Pennsylvania, the property of Za- dock Pratt, rich tanner. There he laid the foundation of his fortune and later went to New York.
 Of MT. Gould's friends in this city Judge Parker and Samuel G. Dimmick, vice. presiden of the Ulster, & Delaware railroad, are well known. MT. Dimmick has two letters which MT. Gould sent hin | from Roxbury when both were young
