Settled by Arbitration.

The outline of the pOstOaiice had
become indistinct in the gathering
darkness and. the streets in the
vicinity were filed with people hur-
rying homeward, when the reporter
observed a man with Stubbv beard
who with some difficulty was holding
a position on a corner, sOlemnly shak-
ing hands with line Of newsbOys.
Some of the passers-by, discouraged
IN their pedestrian efforts for rapid
transit, stopped to watch the )ro-
ceedings for the sight was unusual.
Had some local celebrity chosen this
time and place to hold reception?
1t might appear so but for the small
number of guests.
The true significance OF the little
scene, however, was understood only
by those who were earlier oil the
spot
There had been a fierce alteration
between the man and one of the boys,
and the companions of the latter,
coming from all directions, tell upon
the man with so vigorous an onslaught
that an old Irishman said afterward
that he thought they'd murder him
from head to foot" But just as this
outcome of the affair seemed probable
a ragged little fellow appeared on the
scene and ruled the proceedings out
Of order.
"Youse fellers amt givin' de bloke
square DEAL" he said. "There
wouldn't 81 been no scrap If Joe
hadn't cheated" and he followed
with an argument that was evidently
convincing. for when he finished his
burst of eloqueEce with what proba-
bly, was a borrowed phrase, "Yel
oughter 'pologize," the boys did,
actually.
Each side conceded something and
the handshaking followed; and al
though couple of idlers moved away
somewhat reluctantly, disappointed
in not seeing fight, and while some
of the spectators laughed at the lit
tie peacemaker, the last in the line,
extended grimy little hand to be
clasped in the larger one, half a score
of hearts beat lighter because OF his
plea for justice. Boston Journal

The only residence out Of 400 which e.

Cisco was that of City Marshal Epplen. The
houses destroyed caught fire and score Of
people are believed to have been burned to
death. This will increase the death list to
about fifty.
The streets are 30 full of debris as to pre-
vent the passage Of even foot passengers.
For miles around there are traces of the
wreckage.
The stock Of groceries available did not
suffice to give even scanty breakfast to the
suffering people. Trains from Weatherford
and other adjoining places, laden with sup
plies, arrived during the day.
Many homeless and wounded ones are
resting in improvlsed tents, but by far the
greater portion are out in the open air with
nothing to shelter them from the cutting

HANDLING A HERD or CATTLE.
Skill and Daring Required to Avert
Stampede on the Trail.


Skill and Daring Required to Avert
Stampede on the Trail.
The task of the drover and his as
sistant cowboys in getting the herds
from the Southern ranches to the
Northern shipping points was one in
yolving both skill and daring, says an
article in Scribner's Magazine. The
daily programme was as regular as
that of a regiment on the march.
From morning until noon the cattle
were allowed to Craze In the dlrec-
ton Of their destination, watched by
the cowboys in relays. The cattle
were by this time uneasy, and were
turned into the trail and walked
steadily forward eight or ten miles,
when at early twilight they halted
for another Craze. AS darkness came
on they were gathered closer and
closer together into a compact mass
by the cowboys riding steadily in con-
stantly lessening circles around them
until at last the brutes lay down
chewing their cuds and resting from
the days trip. Near midnight they
would usually get up, stand awhile,
and then lie down again, having
changed sides. At this time extra
care was necessary to keep them from
aimlessly wandering off in the dark
ness. Sitting on their ponies or rid
ing slowly round and round their re-
clining charges, the cowboys passed
the night on sentinel duty, relieving
one another at stated hours.
When skies were clear and the air
bracing the task Of cattle driving was
a pleasant and healthful one But
there came rainy days, when the cat
tie were restless and when it was
anything but enjoyable riding through
the steady downpour. Then especially
were the nights wearisome, and the
cattle were ready at any time to STAN
pede.
No one could tell what caused a
stampede any more than one can tell
the reason Of the strange panics that
attack human gatherings at times.
A fash of lightning, a cracking
stick, VOLTS growl-little things in
themselves, but in moment every
horned head was lifted, and the mass
of hair and horns, with fierce, fright
ened eyes, cleaning like thousands
of emeralds, was of. RecklesSly,
blindly, in whatever direction fancy
led them, they went over bluff or
morass, it mattered not, and fleet
were the horses that could keep
abreast of the leaders. But some
could do it, and, lashing their ponies
to their best gait, the cowboys fol-
lowed at breakneck speed. Getting
on one side of the leaders, the effort
was to turn them little at first,
then more and more, until the cir
conference of great circle was being
described. The cattle behind blindly
followed and soon the front and rear
Joined and milling" commenced. Like
a mighty mill stone, round and round
the bewildered creatures raced until
they were wearied out or recovered
from their fright.
But the cowboy, with his white,
wide-rmmed hat. his long leather
cattle whip, and his clanking spur,
is now a thing Of the past.

A STRIKE Of 1850 cabinet makers in Gin

The Huss Brothers recently granted de-
mand Of it's men for nine hours work at ten
hours pay but refused to discharge several
non-union men, and 20 union cabinet makers
went out In consequence Of an agreement
among the manufacturers the men were re-
fused employment in the other factories, and
the men on the other hand prevented the
starting of the Huss factory. Both manu-
facturers and employees are well organized
and determined to win. A long lockout is
expected.

APPRECIATES THE STAMPS
An Eccentric Farmer in Indiana Papers
His Parlor With Them.

Jonathan Staunhope is a wealthy farmer
of the section known as the Blue Lick Hills,
in Wayne county, Ind. He is 81 years old, a
widower and very eccentric.
Recently he went to Richmond and pre-
scented his check for $1,000 to Postmaster

be given in exchange. The Postmaster was
unable to fill the order, but Staunhope in
sisted upon leaving the check, and the
stamps have been ordered from Washing
ton.
Mr.. Staunhope reports that he has con-
cluded to paper the parlor of his home with
Columbian stamps of l, 2 and scent de-
nominations, and he has estimated that it
will cost him $500 to carry out his pro-
ject.

from carrying out his purpose

CAPITAL BANKS AFFAIRS.
1t Now Seems Certain that Depositors Will
Lose Nothing by Ii.

President ". T. Malott, of the Indiana
National Bank, and Henry Eitel. of Brad
streets agency, have been called in by
Special Bank Examiner Young to aid HIM
in determining the condition of the Cap.
ital National Bank. The services of these
gentlemen will probably be of great
value In closely estimating the aotu-
al worth of the banks paper.
The necessity for o receiver is becoming
more remote as the examination proceeds.
and voluntary liquidation is now the
method proposed tor ending the bangs
dent they can resume. The examiner
may suggest a voluntary liquidation to the
Controller of the Currency. Cashier
Doherty believes the bank officials can
better wind up, affairs. if the institu-
ton is to be closed, than a receiver could.
Director Chambers claims that the bank
could realize a half million dollars in n few
days if desired. The bank officials show
that they have $50, O00 In paper that can be
converted into cash within tive days and
$780, C0 in paper that can be realized on In
a month. Then there are $4,000 in cash on
hand and 300. 600 in other banks. including
the $500 0 with the Chemical National. of
Chicago. A half million is owed to
other banks. and If the bank was TO omen
again some arrangement would probably
be made with them to stave Oft some of
these claims for a period. The bank has
a little Premier steel works paper. but it is
insisted that the remainder of the million
in paper held 10 or high rating. The de-
p~ositors In the Capital will not lose any,
