CONCESSIONS Az EAST.
MISSOURI CATTLE QUAR-
ANTINE AMENDED
Arkansas Cattle Incapable Of
Transmitting Texas fever
May Now be Sent to
That State.

A modification of Missouri's
quarantine against Arkansas
cattle. is one of the latest indica-
tons that the retaliatory quaran-
tine against Missouri horses and
mules is not without a result. A
few days ago, according to ad-
vices in the st. Louis and Spring
field papers, the Missouri board
of agriculture changed the quar-
antine regulations so that cattle
from territory in Arkansas south
of the quartine line which passes
near the northern boundary of
the state may be sent into Mis-
souri, upon being pronounced by
the Missouri inspector as incapa-
BILE Of transmitting Texas fever,
Cattle owners will be required to
pay the cost Of inspection.
Before the passage of the re-
taliatory act at the recent session
of the legislature Of Arkansas it
was impossible for Arkansas to
get any concessions whatever
from the Missourians, who main
tanned their rigid quarantine
stubbornly. -Gazette.

THREE LITTLE GOLD DIG
GERS

A great black ship was fast
ened to one of the wharves in
New York, nearly ready to sail
away around Cape Horn to Cali
| fornia.
The passengers came on board,
and among them was dear little
mother with two children, named
Nettie and Bert. There were
other children, too, but they did
not belong to this mother. The
children's father had been in
California two years. He had
sent Nettie a real gold dollar and
a gold pencil, and Bert two
pieces of yellow gold just as it
was dug out Of the ground. Now
they were all going out to live in
California.
The ships name was the An
dalusia. On the prov was a
wooden figure of a woman with
long, painted yellow hair and
very red cheeks.
You could see this only from
the front, but the blue dress and
gilded necklace and belt were
lovely to look at.
The big captain walked about
looking very fierce, and he gave
his orders in a voice that made
the storm seem quiet.
At first the children, and their
mothers, too, staid in their rooms
and were seasick. Then one by
one they crept out on deck, pale
and miserable, but when they
breathed the fresh air it soon
made them rosy and hungry.
The ship looked large from the
deck, and it was beautiful to see
the full white sails and the flag,
the deep-blue sky above and the
darker blue water below, and to
watch the seagulls and the foam
ing white track left behind the
ship as she sailed.
Captain Wilson was stern, and
said little except to give orders
while on deck, and all the chill
dren on board were afraid or him
except Nettie.
And the way she made his &C.
quaintance was this. He was
pacing the deck and looking sad
and troubled. Nettie walked up
to his side and slipped her dimp-
led little hand into his big one,
and walked along beside him,
but did not speak.
She had to trot to keep up
with his long steps, but he held
her hand close and looked down
at her and smiled. ...
From that time on Nettie took
| long walks with the captain,
They went back and forth only
about forty feet, but they wen,
back and forth u good long while
and Nettie's fat little legs grew
tired sometimes, and then the
captain took her up on his
shoulder.
Bert made friends with old
Marshall, the bos'un, and in
little while learned to tic a sailor
knot, splice a rope, and in less
than week he knew the names
of all the ropes on the ship.
Every rope has It's own name
so that the men would know
which rope to pull up or let dowr
to raise or lower the sails. Der
even wanted to climb up into tn,
rigging like the sailors, but tn,
bos'un said:
"Now look-a-he younkor
Is the cap'n catches you 80 much
as touchin' u ratline, he'll have
CATO nipo-talls flying rounC
here"
"What is that?' asked Bert
"Well It is 80 bad that /
couldn't be worse" answered
, Maxwell.

made bound from $3.50, 900 bushels
in 1895 to %, 1892, 900 bushels in 1896, or
more than 5000, 900 bushels in excess

THE LIQUOR Law OF
MASSACHUSETTS,.

Statistics recently gathered and
published, in the Bay State, show that
in the fifteen years since the present
law was enacted in 1881, the city ma
iority for license, including all the ci-
ties in the State, has decreased from
iority for no license has increased
from 1852 to 1886, while the total
vote of the cities and towns com bined
has changed from majority of H.
600 for license to a majority of 1858
for no license. Last year seven towns
which voted for license -Amesbury,
Canton, New Braintree, Marlboro,
Sandwich, Washington and Whately
had no saloons, because the local
authorizes, under the power which the
law gives them, refused to issue any
licenses, though the people had voted
to have license. The total majOrity
for no license in the State in 1896 was
1914, which is less than the average
no-license majority for the last five
years.
This process of reduction of the
votes for license, and increase of the
votes for no license continued for a
few years longer, will make Massa-
chusetts virtually a prohibition State,
outside of Boston. In the license
towns and cities there were four times
as many arrests for drunkenness last
year, as in the no license towns, and
twice as many arrests for offences
other than drunkenness, as there
were in the no-license towns and
cities-Free Press.
