Locomotive Firemen.

Regarding rumors of wrongdoings
within the ranks of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, which has
membership of %, 600, The Indianapolis
News says: ''The story is that there is
a discrepancy in the books, the result
of former administration. 1t is as
serted that former member of the
brotherhood has been selling travelling
cards to railway men and ex-railway
men. These cards, it is asserted, are
recognized by many railways and the
holders of them are allowed to ride
free on the trains. The result is that
the man has been able to secure q
comfortable sized sum of money. This
mans name has not yet been made
known.
''At the last session of the grand
lodge it was discovered that there
were some errors in the accounts. A
former member of the brotherhood who
is well known, is accused of issuing or
permitting the issuance of warrants
for the payment of persons who were
not on the pay rolls. 1t was decided
by the mem bers of the. brotherhood to
keep this story a secret. The amount
missing is said to be considerable. The
grand lodge appointed experts to go
over the books of Grand Master Sar-
gent and Grand Secretary Arnold,
and the report was that the books of
these two officers were satisfactory"

Good Results Apparent.

Texas stockmen have been urged
time and again to improve their herds,
and the same sermon from the same
text is still being continually preached,
says the Stockman's Journal. The
subject has been so persistently ham
mered at, that even the most nOn-pro-
gresslve of this proverbially progress
sive class has realized in spite of him
self. that the proper thing to do was
to roundup and ship out his old scrub
bulls and replace them with their more
aristOcratic Drethern. Like the re-
suits of live merchants advertise
ment. always to be found in his home
paper, fruits are borne in due time. So,
from the persistent reminders to up
grade the herds, good results are now
abundantly apparent. Shippers re-
member how, not so very long since, a
broad difference was made in the price
of Texas cattle and those from the
great corn belt. Today, while Tex
ans'' have their distinctly quota BILE
values in the big markets, there is a
sight and gradually lessened difference
between our fat stuff and that from the
great feeding sections. The Live Stock
Indicator, an excellent authority and a
close observer of all matters pertaining
to market conditions. in a recent art
lcle urging upon that great scope o
country termed the middle west'' the
necessity for continued improvement
remarks: The farmers of the corr
belt, perhaps hardly realize the exten
to which range cattle and Texans ar
improving. Within the hour W,
chanced to say to a large buyer ant
feeder that the western and TeXa
cattle were very close at the heels o
the corn belt farmer, and that if tn
latter did not wake up to the situation
soon he would find the Texan and west
ern cattle outstripping him. The re
ply was, Il am not sure that this is no
true already" A good big reason 70
this is found in the half of the herd
used for the production of the classes o
cattle, respectively. The farmer to-
often acts as though he thought tina
anything would do that would produce
a calf, and that in buying bull tn
cheaper it could be bought the better
While he has been buying fifty-dolla
bulls by preference, the western rang

ceeded on the theory that nothing wa
too good for their purpose, and the

presidents approval.
The absence of Secretary Olney from
the group of cabinet officers who re-
ceived the president-elect was much
noticed and rumor of final break
in the friendly relations between Pres
dent Cleveland and his secretary of
state prevails. Rumor has it that
Olney demanded Consul-General Lees
recall from Havana and the president
declined to acede to the secretary's
wish.

Taylor made a contract with Won der
Abe, by which Chris was to pay the
Indians the salaries they mad been re-
Ceiving. The show started on the road,
but eventually busted" The Indians
assigned their claims to Whirlwind.
He brought suit and won. Chris de-
MED that there was any contract with
the Indians, and he denied also that the
Indians had any right to sue. The court
of appeals affirmed the conclusion of
the trial court, Judge Flitcrafts.
When Indians are on their reservations
there are certain limitations as o their
contract rights. But when off their
reservation, they are not debarred from
appealing to the courts for the enforce
ment of personal rights. Judge Bond,
who wrote the opinion, remarks that
it is a part of the American creed that
all men are created equal before the
law. In the administration of justice.

Big Steel Chimney,

A Philadelphia firm has just given an
illustration of the advances made in
building operations by erecting a steel
chimney 2l7 feet high, in the remark
able time of ten weeks. This steel
chimney has been erected at the Ridge
wood pumping station, East New York,
and can be seen for miles as it rears its
slender stem high above every other Oh
iect in the vicinity. Workmen are at
present engaged i'll filling the big steel
tube with brick, to prevent the heat of
the great chimney injuring the metal.
The chimney's foundation runs 25 feet
into the ground and is built of concrete,
into which are sunk, to a depth of is
feet, steel rods two inches in diameter.
To these steel rods are bolted plates of
cast iron two inches thick, and to these
are fastened the steel plates that form
the chimney. The chimney is % feet
in diameter at the base, tapering at the
top to eight feet, and in Il high wind has
about eight inches sway. 4 brick
chimney has sway of from 10 to 10
inches. N. y. Journal
