boons to the enlisted man in the army

retired soldiers and veterans. Any
one having ever belonged to the army
and with good character can become a
member.
1t is gradually increasing in men,
bership throughout the country and at
the northern posts some garrisons have
as many as two or three posts of the
union. The organization is doing a
great work in behalf of its members in
securing positions as clerks in the War
department at Washington for retired
soldiers.
The union is recognized by the War
department and its badge is permitted
to be worn on the uniform of a SOL
der. This badge, the G. A. r., medals
of honor and marksman and sharp
shooter badges are the only ones al
lowed on uniform. The organiza-
ton not only has men from the ranks
as members, but a large number of
commissioned officers, among them be-
ing Gen. Wade, formerly colonel at this
post. He has beautiful gold badge
of the union, which he always wore
on his dress suit, presented him by the
local post of the union.
The local union meets in the hall
above the post exchange at present,
twice a month, but as soon as the
membership increases 1t will secure
hall in the city. The officers are:
Commander, Sergeant Jones, Of troop
E; adjutant, Corporal Manady, of troop

NO SEWER PIPE.

For several days past there has been
a scarcity of the proper size pipe for
making house drain connections with
the sewers and it threatens to cause al
most stoppage in the laying of house
connections with the sewers. The
famine is caused by two kilns of the
Saspamco tile and pipe company being
spoiled recently.

THE DUKE AND THE TOAD.
A New and interesting Story OF the
Famous W ellington.

A New and Interesting Story OF the
Famous Wellington.
Napoleon was worshiped and
feared, bvs men loved and adored the
Iron Duke. OF the former, how few
are the kindly human traits recorded
while of the other, to this day fresh
proofs keep coming to light of simple
sweetness dwelling long in the minds
Of men. Khe following anecdote con-
corning 3 letter lately exhumed may
serve as one instance out OF a thous-
and illustrating the sympathetic ma
ture of the great commander. The
letter, SO far as my memory serves,
was in some such terms as these:
"Fie!d Marshal the Dlke of Well
ington begs to inform William Harris
that his toad is alive and we'll"
Il seems that the duke, in the course
Of a country stroll. had come upon a
little boy weeping bitterly over q
toad. A strange trio they must have
been-the lean, keen-eyed old soldier,
the flushed, sobbing boy and be.
tween them the wrinkled reptile
squatting, with fearless eyes and
throbbing sides. The boy wept be-
cause he was going to school next
day; he had come daily to feed his
toad; the little heart was racked with
grief because he feared his darling
would be neglected when he was gone
and might starve. The dukes heart
was as soft as the boys. for he UNDER
took to see that the toad was looked
after. and the letter above quoted is
ono of the subsequent bulletins.

Richard Conley, the well-knowa
breeder of Shropshire sheep. Of
Marshall, Mich, was here today ca
route home from q winters soiourn
n Texas. He travelled extensively
over the western part Of Texas from
San Angelo to the Pecos, and. says
that sheepmen are universally feel
ing in good spirits. The winter
range has been good, and especially
IN the tallow weed country sheep are
remarkably fat. He thinks that the
supply has been so reduced that
there is now ample rangefor all the
sheep in Western Texas, and that
fat sheep will be the rule and not
the exception in Texas this year.
The shearing seaso is now on. and
the crop will be quite. large. Prices
.of wool are higher, with splendid
prospects Of more advance. There
is ca strong desire among Texas
sheepmen to introduce better blood.

Maj. Wolcott, travelling represen-

here for a few days after spending
some time in the west says the
South Omaha Stockman. Around
Sheridan cattlemen report their
losses considerable, but the death
rate has not yet assumed the pro-
porations OF a disaster. The late
storms played havoc with she stock
and thin southern cattle, but cattle
men generally, figure that present
and prospective prices will more
than compensate them for their
losses this spring. There is only
one. way to successfully grow stock
on northwestern ranges and that is
to have the stock where they can be
taken care of for about six or eight
weeks in the spring. During the
early winter and late fall months

storms in the spring prove too

Shelby D. Reed came in from his
ranch about 80 miles east of Rapid
City on Monday night and reports a
good many dead cattle down IN that
country. He estimates his own loss
at about 10 per cent, but says that
other stockmen in that locality will
lose much more heavily. In around
his home ranch the feed has been
short the whole winter through.
The range was eaten clean during
the early winter months by the
thousands Of head of cattle that
drlfted in belonging to the big OUT
fits np'north. Mr.. Reed says that
on the range down in his country
thsre are fully ten thousand cattle
that have drifted in from the north.
They have spent nearly the entire
winter IN his section and with the
cattle that usually winter there it is
no wonder that the feed has been
short. Mr.. Reed reports . good
many dead steers and emphasizes
the fact that the loss is not confined
solely to she stock. Every water
hole on the range is full and : fine
crop of grass is coming up.

Cost of Living Raised.

The Consular Trade Report for 1896
drawn up by the British Consul at Yo-
kohama, contains the following inter-
esting item on the cost of living in
Japan: A general rise has been OBJ
servable for some years past in the cost
of living in this country, as estimated
in the currency Of the country, which
is silver, or paper representing silver.
This rise commenced from about the
year 1889, and taking the principal
articles of food and fuel used by the
amounts now to as much as
80 per cent in the case of rice, and 100
per cent in that of fish and vegetable
while the cost of articles of ordinary
Japanese wearing apparel has risen
various from 80 per cent to over 100
per cent. Wages have undergone a sim
liar rise. It may be further noticed
that more recently, say since the war,
the ratio of rise in the cost of living
has exceeded that of the fall in the
gold price Of silver.
