Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 18.-The
federal authorities made u show of
force at the Kansas City Live Stock
Exchange yesterday afternoon, and as
result the firm of Greer Mills G. Co.,
which was suspended by the exchange
last week for non-payment of fines
aggregating $1,000, is again member
OF the exchange, Until noon yester-
day there had been every indication
that the board of directors would ig-
more the order Of Judge Phillips of
the federal court, directing that the
suspended firm be reinstated pending
hearing on the 2Sth instant, but
when United States Marshall Shelby
went to the exchange yesterday after
noon prepared to arrest every member
OF the board of directors, a meeting
was quickly held and the suspended
hrm was reinstated. Some Of the
heaviest buyers and packers of the
country are supporting Greer, Mills &
CO., and 1t is believed that whatever
may be the outcome of the litigation,
the exchange is doomed to dissolution,

London, Sept. 1S.-A st. James paper
in the discussion of its proposal of a
new dreibund, to be formed by Great
Britain and the United States and Italy
for the settlement of the Armenian
questions, says:
If Great Britain, the United States
and Italy presented the sultan with a
joint demand that certain conditions
must be complied with in three days
time it is highly probable that his Rus
sian advisers would intimate to Abdul
Hamid that he would have to yield, and
1t is not impossible that the demand
of the three powers would presently
become that of united Europe. If ABB
dull Hamid was advised against his own
interests so stronglS that he refused to
yield to them, an Al ylo-Italo feet with
such American vessels as could arrive
on time could force the Dardanelles and
dictate terms in tho Bosphorus.
"The mere existence of such an alli
ance would probably be sufficient to
convince not merely the sultan. but
persons and powers of greater weight
that the atrocities must end"
The article in the paper concludes
with the following statement:
I'm the event of graver complications
ensuing, the new dreibund would en-
able us to face them with the material
support of fine navy, whose additions
to ours would make us equal to any
possible combination, and would give
us the moral support of the gigantic
civilized nations, which no other state
would care to have among its oppo-
nents,"

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 1S.-A lot OF
bones, not yet known whether they
represent those of one or two women,
have been dug up not far from the
house formerly occupied by the MUIR
derer H. H. Holmes, at Evanston.
For six consecutive nights Mrs. An
drew Parker of 2044 Evanston avenue
dreamed of uncoffined bodies and she
induced her husband to dig in the
spot indicated by the dream, $50 yards
from her house. He found nothing,
but Mrs. Parker's dream came again
Wednesday night, more real than ev-
err. Yesterday morning her husband
dug and found skull, several ribs
and the arm and leg bones of a wo-
man. The Evanston police examined
the bodies and claim to have evidence
that they are the remains Of either
one or both of the Williams sisters,
supposed to be Holmes victims.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 1S.--In the dense
woods between North Evanston and
Willamette, a grave has been found
full of human bones. The discovery
was made by A. H. Parker of Evans
ton. The spot is only a few rods
from the house in which II. H,
Holmes lived at Willamette and it is
thought that the bones may be those
of some Of his victims. The bones
had evidently been inferred within
two years and were apparently placed
in the grave without coffin and no
clothing of any sort was found. From
the sizes of the bones it is thought
they must be from several people.

SUNDAY MAILS.

Now that we are to have a Sunday
mail train from St. Paul, beginning
with tomorrow, reaching here at 1:22
p. M, our people will certainly
demand that the postotfice
be open an hour convenient
to the arrival of this mail.
Postmaster Wise was asked today
what arrangements, if any, had been
made for the public convenience on
the morrow and replied that the office
would be open from 9 till 10
a. ~. and would SO continue
until he gave notice of change.
Of course the mail arriving in the
middle of the day breaks in upon the
Sunday rest of the clerks, but if ar
rangements could be made to throw
open the outside doors at 8 o'clock
in the morning and open the
general delivery between and in
the afternoon. it would be great &C.
commodation to the public.
Unless some arrangements are
made to open the postoffice after the
arrival of the ST. Paul train, the SER
vice will be of little use. Our people
want their Sunday papers especially.

SOCIETY EVENTS.
The Week Has Been Busy One, Es-
peciaIly Among the Ladies'.

Since the close of the Lenten sea-
son, society affairs have been unusually
brisk, and some very pretty enter
tainments have been INDUCED in by
the ladies in particular.
Tuesday evening Mr.. and Mrs. w.
N. Plymat invited in about forty
friends to spend the evening, and a
right social time was had. Refresh
ments were served.
| Wednesday, Mrs. L. P. Hunt gave a
six o'clock tea to some forty lady
friends, and provided a peculiarly
novel printed menu which kept the
ladies busy guessing as to what the
edibles were. 1t is needless to say
that woman's curiosity was aroused to
it's highest pitch in an effort to de-
cipher some of the numbers. Not one
in the party succeeded in reading
Alright the complete menu, but Mrs,
Meservey having deciphered all but
one course, was awarded the prize.
Mrs. r. d. Hubbard and Mrs. Geo.
II. Clark entertained their lady friends
Friday afternoon from 800 to 600
o'clock, at a thimble bee party at the
home of the former. Refreshments
were served, and very pleasant time
was enjoyed.
Friday the Misses Look and
Combs entertained u party of young
friends at the home of Mrs. Combs
with progressive hearts. The young
folks had jolly time, as al young
people do, and kept it up un,il mid
night. Dainty refreshments were
served.
Mrs. DR.. Snow aud Mrs. Lock inter-
tanned their lady friends Friday after
noon at a thimble bee, serving re-
freshments at six. A delightfully."-
pleasant time was had.
Mr. and Mrs. G. FL, Higgs will enter
tain the Saturday Night Cinch Club
Saturday evening.
A bright little woman living on or
near Second street, who through a
slight indisposition could not attend
one of the many thimble bees of the
week, sent the following regrets to the
hostess by friend:
My poor sore toe, D..
VIII not let me go
With you ladies, to sew.
These cards, which you see,
Please take to the "bee;''
And then, my dear Kate,
My regrets they will take.
Sometime unto you,
Some favor I'll do,
But till then.-Adieu.

COSTLY WORK.
Both Sides of the. Question of Clean
ing Front Street.

At the meeting of the council
Saturday night, AID Andrews stated
that there was one matter which he
wished to call attention TO while the
reporters were present. and that was
the cost of keeping Front street clean
in it's present unpaved condition. He
said that the bills showed that the
money spent in April on this work
was S405.
Today we received the following
communication from president OF the
Board of Public Works on the subject:
Mr.. EDITOR:
The statement made as the last
council meeting that it cost S4O5 to
clean the dirt off Front street this
spring must surely be mistake. Eth
er it is a big mistake or the work cost
about four times as much as it should
have done. Under the present ar
rangements the Board OF Public
Works had nothing TO do with it, but
am familiar with that kind of work
and | say that contract could have
been let to clean the streets as we'll
as it has been done for less than 500.
There are Is blocks from Vine to
Liberty and these might have been
cleaned for 81 a block, while if S405 is
correct it cost little over S3l block.
j r. BEATTY.
April 20, 1896.
Street Commissioner Halstead was
asked in regard to the correctness of
the figures quoted, and he said that
the street pay roll for the past two
weeks was S4O3.67, of which some
what more than half, possibly $3.50,
was for cleaning Front street. Said
he: You must recollect that the
street has not been cleaned since
year ago last fail, and that the ac-
emulation of mud and filth has been
very great. The work cannot be done
any cheaper. The rest of the money
was spent in filling up holes in the
streets, made by the rain causing the
latest filled excavations for house
connections to cave in."
