standard of wages in a single Ameri-

THE FIGHTING N'cOOKs.
Last Of q Notable Family Of Soldiers to
Retire From the Army.

DENVER, April 21.-After having
been continuously in the service OF the
United States for a period OF 43
years, Maj. Gen. Alexander Mcdowell
McCook retires from the army to-
morrow, a step made necessary by
law, as he has reached the age of "a
years. Gen. McCook will leave this
week for Dayton, o., where he will re-
main until May 10. He will then
go to Washington and New York,
reaching the latter city June 1, to be
present at the graduation OF his
daughter, Janette. Later in the
summer the general will sail for Europe
with his family, where he will spend
several months visiting the principal
points of interest.
He has made no plans concerning
his future after returning to the
United States. With the retirement
of Gen. McCook the last of the Eight
ing McCooks" goes into private life.
and for the first time in nearly half a
century the army will be without a
McCook on it's active rolls. 1t is a
most noteworthy fact that Gen.
Daniel McCook, father of Gen. McCook,
who will be retired tomorrow, and
nine sons. were all in the field fight
ing for their country at one time, and
that four of them attained the rank
of general.

Mutton Sheep in Montana.

b. C. White writes as follows to the
Industrial Record of Boston:
"Sheep in this vicinity have wintered
well and are generally in good condi-
ton. The clip will be less than last
year through the Judith Basin as
sheep men have been selling off their
fiocks to a considerable extent. The
wool is of good staple and sound fiber
so far as l have been able to learn,
and as usual, free from dust, burrs
and sand. Nearly all the flock mas
ters are breeding to a coarser grade
OF wool and working into NUT
ton breeds, Shropshire predominating,
crossing into grade merino ewes. The
idea prevails largely among WOO
growers here, that mutton is now the
only hope for n profit in the sheer
business, and if that won't pay the
sheep business will be abandoned by
the men now engaged in it.

KING sOLOMON's MINES.
A Well Known Californian Engineer Has
Come In Search of Them.

William P. st. Auburn, the well
known California mining engineer and
manager and one of the owners of the
Niagara mine, has gone to South
Africa to hunt for the lost mine of
King Solomon.
"I am going for Sir Cecil Rhodes,
the premier of South Africa, and his
associates" he said. "John Hays
Hammond wrote me a year ago,
wanting me to go, but l couldn't get
away then. Since he has renewed the
proposition, urging me to come on,
and 1 have decided to do it. am
going up into Mashonaland. That is
where the very old mines of Africa
are among which are supposed to be
the Ophir and others which were
worked in the time OF Solomon.
81 am taking my Bible along, he
added smilingly, land will post my
self as we'll as l can regarding them,
and l am also going to review Rider
Haggard's book, king Solomon's
mines,' which 1 understood is quite
reliable. From this, however, the
impression should not be gained that
1 am going to prospect, as miners
do in a new region. The mines are
known to exist. 1 shall merely ex-
anime them as an engineer and give
my opinion as to which are best to
work. Mashonaland has many oi
these mines. The old workings can
be seen in many places.

Clarke, dated at Buluwayo, in Mata'
beleland, the adjoining province to
Mashonaland, in which he says that
it is very lively all through that
country. He went to Buluwayc
about a year ago, when it had but
two houses. Now there are 1900
white men there"

Live Stock Ezchsnges Protest.

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-The st. Louis
live stock exchange, following the
action OF the Kansas City exchange,
has adopted resolutions protesting
against the action OF the agricultural
department in relation o the rumored
combine among the packers. The
agitation is declared to have resulted
in a reduction in the price OF live cat
tie OF at least 81 per 100 in the past
two weeks. The members OF the st.
Louis exchange invite speedy and
thorough investigation of the alleged
combine, that the live stock business
resume it's normal condition.

COST OF BEEF AND CATTLE.


OMAHA, April 23.-The Omaha live
stock exchange today censured Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton for his
"erroneous ideas at present working
to the great detriment of the cattle in
terests of the country in creating a
wrong impression as to the relative
cost of cattle and beef" After recit-
ing the manner of his investigation
this resolution was adopted:
BE it resolved, That We, the men,
bers of the South Omaha live stock
exchange call the attention OF the
honorable secretary of agriculture
and the country at large to the fact
that, during the first three months OF
the present year, cattle receipts at
Chicago, with full corn crop in
Illinois, Indiana and adjacent terri
tory, fell off II per cent as against
1894; Kansas City's receipts fell off
13 per cent, notwithstanding a big
increase in Texas shipments, and
Omaha, in the very heart of the
drought stricken country, fell off 32
per cent. On account of this shor-
tage cattle prices advanced from 81
to 80 per 100 as compared with q
year ago. and the higher prices for
beef naturally followed. With the
higher prices for beef, and the press
agitation on this subject, consump-
ton fell off and cattle values de-
clined in consequence. We regard
this present depression in cattle
values, however, as only temporary,
as the Indications are that the next
three months of this year will witness
a further reduction in available cat
tie supply of fully so per cent. We
are satisfied that there can be nc
combine possible among the bee
packers on account OF the increased
number OF buyers in all the leading
markets and the diversified interests
represented by them"
Washin gton, April 23.-Secretary
Morton was shown the resolutions
adopted by the st. Louis live stoci
exchange yesterday, deprecating th'
"agitation" about the alleged pabkers
combine and attributing the reduc
tions in the price OF live cattle in thu
last two weeks to such agitation, sait
the very statement of the st. Louis
live stock exchange would lead to th'
belief that the alleged combine o
dressed beef concerns existed.
"If the agitation, as they term 1t,
said he, "has caused II decline in tn
price of cattle on the hoof, why is i
similar calamity has not occurred il
the price of dressed beef? 1t remain
the same, and in some cases is evel
higher. Their own statement, couples
with the prices OF dressed bee
answers their complaint"

Our New Rife.

To people who can still remem-
Der when the substitution of a breech-
loading rifle for the old muzzle-load-
ing affair of the fathers was considered
wonderful advance, the record of
our new army rifle in some recent
tests is almost miraculous. This
rifle is called the Krae-Jorgeson, and
is now the arm officially adopted for
use in the United States army. 1t
was tried a few days ago at a tar
get range at Fort Leavenworth, the
firing being at distances varying from
1000 to 5000 yards; that is, from
three-fifths of a mile to nearly three
miles. When fired the former dis
tance, the bullet went clean through
nearly three feet of solid oak, and
came out apparently none the worse
for wear. At 1,5OO yards, which is
26O yards short of mile, the bullet
passed through a dead human body
and afterward went through two feet
of solid oak. At 1000 yards, which
is more than a mile and one-eighth, it
entered a steel plate one inch in thick
ness.
We have been so intent upon i'm
provements in cannon, projectiles,
plate armor, smokeless powder, tor
pedoes, and all the accompaniments
of the art of war as used in fortifica-
tions or big vessels that we have
almost overlooked the improvements
in small arms. The Krag-J Jorgenson
rifle, though probably inferior to
none, is only fair sample OF the
weapons with which all the great
armies of the world are furnished.
Imagine force OF men supplied with
these, and ammunition that employs
smokeless powder. With nothing to
interfere with the aim, these troops
would begin to kill each other when
two OF three miles distant. Firing
at a 1000 yard range used to be re-
earded as a mere curiosity of sharp
shooting. But with the new rifle and
powder, where there is but slight ira
jectory, and the bullet flies toward
its mark in almost straight line. the
bullets fred at 1000 yards would. if
they ranged anywhere between the
head and the feet OF an advancing
foe, 60 through rank after rank, and
each would be sufficient to kill from
three to half dozen men standing in
file. 1t is evident that such q weapon
as this must necessitate almost q
revolution in tactics, and make
hostillities so deadly that they could
not long continue. Indeed, it is ar
open question whether the braves,
soldiers could be brought to face each
other under such conditions. A mar
who is not q coward may go gladly
into the rush of conflict where, in tn,
last result, it will be something like ,
hand-to-hand fight; but it is not ,
reflection on his bravery if he hesi
tates to put himself up as q target t,
be struck down before he can com
: fairly in sight of his foe. A war be

 I knew altogether too well where the ink came from.

 Remedy for Lice on Cows.
 The Practical Dairyman tells us that for lice on cattle nothing is more effec- tive than kerosense emulsion and of the strength usually employed in spraying fruit trees and vines. It is by dissolving one half pound of hard soap in gallon of boiling water and adding two gallons of kerosene oil. Stir vio- lently until a perfect emulsion is formed Dilute with nine to fifteen parts of warm water and apply with a spray pump. It will knock out all lice on the first, application but will not kill the eggs, A second spraying should be given in two or three weeks to kill any more which may have ! matched out.
