NEW INDUSTRY.

The Panhandle is to have a
new livestock industry. Re-
Gently two enterprising citizens
from Kansas struck Amarillo
and at once made their object
known. They wanted a section
of land on which to start a
black cat ranch. They stated
that they wanted to bring 100
black Thomas and Tabby cats,
and also stock of 5000 rats on
on which to feed the cats. II is
estimated that the stock will in
GREASE to Is 600 cats in the first
year, and the second year to
225 900. Black cat skins are
worth 81 each on the market,
and as the cats are killed and
skinned their flesh will be fed
to the rats. Thus perpetual
evolution will be put in motion,
as the rats will increase five
times as fast as tie cats, and
today the rats will be cats and
to morrow the cats will be rats,
and SO on until doomsday.-

STEWART IN
WALL STREET.

New York, Aug. 2I.--Sen-
ator Stewart spent the day in
Wall street, trying to trace out
the leaders in the combination
forcing down the price of sill
yer bullion. He said that he
could locate the men were it
not they are being shielded
behind the big banks. In his
investigations he met many of
the leading gold men of the
street, with some of whom he
had a spirited discussion. He
said that, in part, the decline
was due to the fact that the
silver men were too poor to
buy in the bullion, but that the
manipulators in the Street
were largely responsible. To
the same gold men he declar-
ed that the falling prices of
silver must be stopped or ruin
to every one was threaten
ed.
He declared that the silver
sentiment was most strong in
the East among mechanics.
