Interesting Extracts From a Letter
From Herbert King-Surprised at
the Enormous Number of Pretty
Girls in Missouri-And Also at the
Quantity Of Beer for a Nickel.

The Republican has been permitted
to make the following interesting ex-
tracts from a letter written by Mr.. Her
bert King to a friend in this city:

settle a dispute with the railroad COM

While in St. Louis | got in al anus

whom | afterwards found to beaa re-
formed democrat. A little crowd Of us
were discussing Grover Cleveland in
the National hotel in East st. Louis. He
was a good talker. but |, having had
about 81. 900 worth of experience with
Cleveland, was considerably in earnest
and was getting a little the best of him
when he made a remark which COM
pletely knocked me out" He said, Il
fought six years under Gen. Lee to
overthrow the United States govern
ment. but Cleveland did more toward it
in six months than Gen. Lee did in
those six years" This man was an ex-
sheriff of st. Clair county, illinois. l

THE A
Laramie Thermometers Indicated s Be-
low at 9 O'clock This Morning.

Laramie was the coolest place along
the line this morning. Nearly all
points in Wyoming reported zero
weather. but at Laramie at s O'Clock 1t
was 6 below and a little later the mer>
curry had fallen two degrees. At 10
o'clock the temperature began to rise
and has been tending upward since.
The snow has fallen so gently that
traffic on the road has not been inter-
fered with to any material degree. OF
course it has been a hard matter to keep
a full tonnage freight train on time. but
the passenger trains have not been
enough behind the schedule to talk
about.
AS a whole the storm has been one of
the most remarkable ever experienced
in this section, the December record
having been surpassed. Its extent is
wide and the depth of the snow is per-
haps eight inches on the level. Unless
the weather warns materially in the
promises that it will, there will be
much suffering among live stock, be,
cause of the fact that there has been
no wind to blow the SNOW from the
grass. Horses can paw the snow away,
but cattle are not so adept in rustling
for themselves. The ranchmen, how
ever. are all well provided with hay and
beef is too valuable to run any risk OF
loss.

WHY SERIAL BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATIONS ARE THE
BEST.
Stock May Be Taken at Any Time
Without the Payment Of a Large
Sum of Money-Borrowers are
More Evenly Distributed and the
Allotment Of Money is Obviatf d.

The serial plan adopted by the AL
bany Mutual Building association will
doubtless enable it to entirely occupy
the field in his city. Former associa-
tons were on the single series, Or
terminating plan and had three serious
defects: first, the dissolution of the as
ISOLATION when the stock matured; sec
ond, the large amount persons had to
pay who took stock through purchase
after the association had been running
for some time; and. third. the making
Of forced loans-that is, compelling the
shareholders to become borrowers
whether they wished to or not. Serial
plan will permit of the association be-
coming perpetual and it furnishes a
taking stock at any time in the current
series does not have a large amount of
back dues and interest to pay to place
him in the same situation he would
have been in had he taken stock at
first. Practical experience has also
proved that the third defect stated is
also obviated except in rare instances
by the serial plan, because it admits
of the accession of new shareholders
who become such for the purpose of
becoming borrowers. In the single
Laramie. after associations became
three or more years old. borrowers be-
came scarce and it was found neces>
sary to allot the money. thus forcing
members to become borrowers whether
they wished to or not. In the life of the
Albany association thus far, it has only
been necessary to resort to allot-
ment on one occasion. and it
has beer in existence for six
years. The introduction of each new
series brings with it a number of men,
bers who desire to borrow money, and
they thus not only relieve the investors
of the necessity of becoming borrowers,
but they also assist in keeping the
premiums at a healthy rate. shortening
the life Of each series.
In the serial plan, as each series ap.
proaches maturity, it will be the OBJ.
ject Of the trustees to encourage with.
drawals Of stock. This will have to be
accomplished by increasing the per-
centage of profits allowed to withdraw
ing shareholders as the series ap.
proaches maturity.

The experiment is now being tried
by ranchmen in Wyoming of bringing
calves from eastern states to be put on
the range. 1t will be watched with
great interest by the ranchmen gen.
orally. There appears to be a diversity
Of opinion about the eXpediency of such
movement. Some contend that the
change of climate and feed will have a
bad effect on the calves and cause them
to be stunted. Others contend that by
giving the calves an occasional feed Of
grain and some hay they will come
through all right. and we hold to this
opinion. Still others maintain hat af-
ter a short time the calves will be able
to rustic for themselves on the range
where the feed is at all good. There is
q possibility that it may be necessary
to feed the calves hay and some grain

BIOGRAPHICAL.
The Manner in Which S. II. H. Clark
Climbed to the Top.

A dispatch from St. Louis gives the
following biographical sketch Of Presi-
dent S. H. H. Clark of the Union Pa.
cific:
For years S. II. H. Clark has been
one of the foremost railroad men Of
the west. He rose from the ranks to
the several high positions he has held.
Mr.. Clark was born on a farm near
years old he had to shift for himself,
owing to an accident to his father.
Soon after he began his railroad career
in a very humble capacity, on a local
railroad. His first promotion OF note
was when he was made a passenger
conductor on a road running out Of
Harrisburg, Pa, 1t was while acting
in that capacity that he attracted the
attention of Sidney Dillon. who ap.
pointed Mr.. Clark general manager Of
the Flushing railroad, On Long Island.
Mr.. Clark proved so able d servant
that when Mr.. Dillon secured control
of the Union Pacific he appointed him
general freight agent. He was rapidly
promoted and served as vice president
and general manager. 1t was at this
time that Mr.. Clark first met Jay Gould.
In 1884 Jay Gould induced Mr.. Clark
to accept the general management Of
the entire Gould southwestern system.
He was in full control Of its 1000 miles
Of tracks, the annual earnings Of which
were 100000. 900. and was Mr.. Gould'A
personal representative in the west.
After Jay Gould got control of the I'm
ion Pacific he made Mr.. Clark general
manager of that great property as we'll
as the Missouri Pacific system.
In 1893 failing health compelled the
over-worked railroad manager to sur
render to others part of his great re-
sponsibilities. He decided to leave the
Union Pacific and confine himself to the
Missouri Pacific, but when George
Gould discovered that the other Union
Pacific directors had a scheme to re-
place Mr. Clark with a manager who
would not serve in the Gould interest
he elected him president of that road.
When the Union Pacific road went into
the hands of receivers, Mr.. Clark was
chairman Of the board of receivers and
practically manager Of the property.
Naturally. he was the man selected by
the reorganization committee to con-
tinue to direct its affairs. but his health
being impaired by ais long and arduous
labors, Mr.. Clark was finally forced to
decline.

The Carlists In Spain.
From the Great Round werld.

From the Great Round werid.
From the time of Philip v, in lib, the
succession to the Spanish throne had been
according to the Salic law. from father to
son, or to the nearest male relative.
The Salic law is a very old law. which
provides that no woman can inherit lands
or occupy the throne According to this
law, if king dies leaving several daugh-
tiers, but no son, the throne passes away
from the daughters and goes to the nearest
nale relative be he nephew. uncle, or cous-
in. In 1929 Ferdinand III of Spain, having
no sons rendered the Sale law of no eff
feet in Spain by decree granting the right
OF succession to the daughters and grand
daughters of the king. When Ferdinand
died in 1893. his daughter. Isabella Maria
II, was declared queen, and the brother Of
Ferdinand, who under the old law should
have been king, was passed over. This
brother was named Don Carlos. Don Car
los refused to recognize his brothers de-
cree, and declared himself King Of Spain.
Many of the mobiles who did not like the
idea of being ruled by a woman f1ocked to
his standard, and war was declared against
the party of the queen by the people of
Don Carlos party. or Carlists, as they were
tagged, then Bon Carlos was forced to give
in. This first war Was from 1888 to 1889.
In 1850 Don Carlos IL. the son of Don
Carlos l F&rdinand's brother), declared
himself King of Spain. and headed a new
Carlist rising, which was again unsuccess-
full. There have been several successive
uprisings since then From 1873 to 1876 Don
Carlos ILL., headed rising which bid fair
TO be successful. Don Carlos III is the d.
rect descendant of Don Carlos 1 and is the
present preterder to the Spanish throne,
to which, according to the SaIic law, he is
the rightful heir. In January, 1876 he was
1orced to give up the fight. and nothing
more has been heard of him till the present
time. Z. "'- ~

him very well while the latter was Ssecre-

to him. One of the first things he did when
ne was President was to show his appre-
cation for StHntoW Some Of Mr.. Stan1on's
friends had 'eaIled at the White House.

stanton is very illIfHe has no money, and
he has given his life to his country. He
cow needs rest. and If you could give him
the mission to the Netherlands or to
Switzerland 9r to Belgium the income from
the place Would be sufficient to support
him, and he might recover his health
Upon this. General Grant replied: I
think Mr.. Stanton deserves the highest
honors that the country can give him. The
places you have requested are of minor i'm
portance. There is, however. a vacancy on
the bench OF the anited States Supreme
Court, and if Mr.. Stanton is willing I will
send his name in for that place at once. I
Only wish 1 could do him still higher
