Our Streets Last Night

Our Streets Last Night
One of the biggest demonStra-
tons for months past took place
on the Ocala House verandas and
about the court house square last
night, and it was entirely an inn
prOmptu affair.
First, the Ocala Rifles came
out to drill, and the report had
gone out that they would do
some shooting. Then the old
favorltes, the Metropolitan BanG,
appeared and took position in the
band stand, and the crowd began
to gather until the Ocala House
verandaS. the sidewalks and other
places Of vantage were taken up.
The band played well. in fact.
never played better, and the Ri
res, though not large company,
were rXcellently drilled and the
volIeys fired were as one gun, and
some of the citizens, hearing the
firing from affair, thought the
naughty Dons had invaded the
city and were being warmly re-
ceived by the Rifles.
Mayor Campbell from his ex-
allied position on chair, called
the meeting to order, made a
short bu, eloquent address on the
impending trouble, made some
timely and patriotic illusions 10

quests in store for her. and in

Hon. T. NJ. Shackleford, one OF

bury's Report.
ANNUAL MEETING YESTERDAY.

The annual meeting OF the Kansas City
Live Stock exchange was held yesterday.
and was Cne of the most harmonious IN its
history. President Mccoy. in his annual
address reviewing the year. said:
To-day marks an important period in
the existence of the Kansas City Live Stock
exchange, being its twelfth anniversary.
The board of directors which you have hon
ored with the management of the affairs
of the exchange during the past year has
called YOU together to give an account of
its stewardship. This will be set forth In
detail by the secretary in his report, but
/ wish to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to congratulate the members OF this
exchange on the record made during the
past year; en- the wonderful growth OF
this market; on the generally prosperous
year enjoyed by the members in their sew
eral individual lines of business: on the
our exchange has borne an important part,
and on the general prosperity of the en-
tire country. 1t Is with no small degree Of
pride We point to the fact that, largely
under the fostering care of this exchange
and through the agencies put forth by
YOU during the year just closed. 1897 has
proved to be one Of the most prosperous
epocs in the history of Kansas City's live
stock industry. and. considering the ad-
vancement heretofore made, its increase
has been almost phenomenal.
While We are glad to note that the
other large live stock centers also show
advancement which indicates a generally
prosperous condition in the great West.
our increase has been in a much larger
ratio than any of the others. We show
an increase in all three of the lines of cat
tie hogs and sheep. and to an extent that
places us far up towards that much COW
eted pinnacle-the one that Destiny has
marked for us in the near future-the larg-
est live stock market in the world.

each member of the exchange, to cover

nature which may be incurred in the near
future. -oN-
Since the exchange was organized tweIva
years ago. assessments. including the one
recommended, have averaged but ST. per

members. a very light burden on the NOM
bers. compared with other dissertations of
the same character. The report was
adopted.

representing thousands OF tRnsactions, not
a single case of dishonest OF monumental
conduct has been brought t the attention
OF the board. Each man hS dealt fairly
with the other. and each buiness contract
and obligation has been live up to. Your
arbitration committee has ben called to-
gether but four times to adult commercial
differences.
Indeed, the only two casesin which the
board was compelled to enfore the penal
ties of the rules upon membes during the
year were for violations of hsinesS obli-
cations with country shipper, not MEM
berS Of this exchange.
But, gentlemen. your boardhas been by
no means idle. The year hasbeen one of
hard labor and constant wathing. 1t is
unfortunate that 1t should beso. but his
tory records that, from the the Cain en-

them in every community an, in every
trade. Ours has been no excetion. The
inherent instincts of some men reap the
rewards of others labor. to tlmple the

to be made upon the character our as

which have done so much to ad to the

exchange means the dissolution prac-

HOSPITAL AND WOMEN WARDS.
Some Badly Needed improvements at
the County Jail Are Ordered by
the County Court.

the County Court.
The county court yesterday took steps to
remedy one of the disgraceful evils at the
county jail. which has been the subject Of
numerous condemnations by grand juries
during the past few years. The court Or
dered the county marshal to fit up a hos
pital ward in the county Jail and also TO
provide woman's ward separate from the
male wards. The court further ordered the
marshal to fix the steps leading to the
women's ward SO that the women would
not be exposed while passing to and fro.
The need of a hospital ward has been
often pointed out by grand juries and by
others who have inspected the Jail un-
officially. There are several rooms which
have lain idle ever since the jail was built.
One of the rooms on the fourth floor will
be fitted w for a hospital. where sick
patients may be treated instead of in their
cells. as heretofore
The necessity. to say nothing of the hui
manity. of having a separate ward for wo-
men has been pointed out many times and
the action of the court will be commended
b. many organizations which have de-
manded the separation of the sexes. At
present verbal communication between the
male and female prisoners is easy, though
the sexes are confined in separate cells.

hollow two blocks beyond the yards OF
the Louisiana and Gulf Lumber Company.
at Nineteenth and Main streets. His tent
let the snow drift in and the rains ofteH
soaked him. He came to the conclusions
that he needed a house. Acting on this
conviction, he began carrying away lum-
ber from the neighboring yard and when
arrested had about so worth piled up by
his tent and the frame of a small house
already up. He pleaded not guilty to the
charge of stealing and was committed to
Jail. Before leaving the courtroom ha
