they had failed to materialize and tried

Live Stock.
To Shut Out TiCkY Cattle.

The prospect that the board OF agrl-
culture is about to establish regula-
tions that will result in the exclusion
of Mexican cattle, when infested with
ticks, from the state of Texas, is one
that will bring great satisfaction to the
stock growers of the state. There Is no
question but what the open door from
Mexico into Texas in times past has
been one of the most seri-
Gus drawbacks to the advance
ment of our cattle interest. Not only
has it made it impossible for our stock
to reach the high degree of excellence
obtained by the breeders in other Sta
ties, from the fact that there has been
constant stream of the inferior grades
produced in Mexico, crossing our
| frontier, but it has, also operated
against our stock in the great market
centers by giving the buyers an OPP
portunity to classify everything from
| Texas as of interchangeable.
The experience of our stockmen,
during the last season, has been OF
| such character as to bring this m lat
| ter home to them with special force.
They have seen well bred and well
graded cattle make their owner lots of
| money while the poor stuff in which
| they had invested their dollars, proved
tO.be a drag on the market and source
of loss and vexatiOn.
If there is any one thing that has
been proven by this seasons business
in the territory ranges or in the feed
lots, it is that it takes q good bloOded
animal to pay out at present prices and
under present market and range con-
ditions. And the better the animal.
the more certain and satisfactory have
been the results.
With Mexico shut out Texas ranch
men can grade up and select their
home herds and it will not be many
years before the term "Texas" will
cease to be regarded as synonymous
with inferiority in grade, and the
native Texas cattle will classify as high
in the market as those raised in any
other state in the Union.
The proposed steps may possibly
prove unpopular with some for a time
but in the long run taking into con-
sideration the welfare of all there is
no doubt that it will prove q
measure that will largely rebound to
the welfare of the live stock interests
of the state.-San Antonio Express.

The Dreyfvs Trial.

The session of the Dreyfus court
martial Wednesday was comparatively
u%ncventful. The dispositions were not
productive of any really thrilling Incl
dents. The systematic production of
the t1imsiest trash. which the prosccu-
ton deems profitable to iahict on the
Judges, and which the latter accept as
evidence, was ~procecdcd with. Much
Of the ridiculous testimony of the
morning was dcro.3d 20 an attempt
to blast Dreyfus' private character,
though when Ma tires Labor and De-
mango had finished with the witnesses
their bubbles of tittle-ta.tle were bad
ly pricked. Much Of the time was &C.
copied in reading the testimony Of
Este'hazy and Mile. Pays before the
court of cessation. NJ. Labor again
distinguished himself in laying bare
the weak points of the evidence. He
was, however less fierce than on the
previous day, though quite enough to
arouse the latent hostility of the
Judges, which showed itself in various
little ways.

TOWN OF VICTOR IN ASHES.

business Part Entirely Destroyed-A Los,
of Two Millions.
Fire has utterly destroyed the bust
ness porto of the city Of Victor, Colo,
causing a loss estimated at s., 200, 900.
The flames consumed everything in
their way. 1t had its origin, it is
thought, in the Merchants cafe. A
strong wind from the south famed the
flames, and in n few minutes all the
surrounding houses were afire. The
town had been built in the early days
of the camp, and was of pine timber
for the most part, and burned like
paper. Efforts were made to stop the
the progress of the flames by blowing
up building in their path by means Of
dynamite and the hills have resounded
with the explosions, but the effort vas
in vain.
The fire claimed the bank Of Victor,
the p%ostOtficc, the row of blocks be-
tween Third and Fourth streets to the
north, the Victor Banking company,
the office of the Western Union Tele,
graph and Colorado Telephone com.
panies, the Hotel Victor and the three
great shaft houses of the Gold Coin
Mining company and it's ore bins,
among the largest in the Cripple Creek
district, the Florence & Cripple Creek
depot, and the fine new depot of the
INLAND Terminal road. All buildings
between the depots are a total loss,
with practically all their contents, for
the flames were SO rapid in their pro-
grcss that nothing could be saved.
The scenes of the great Cripple Creek
fire were duplicated. Hurrying before
the roaring flames vent men, women
and children, carrying what they could
snatch from the flames, racing for
their lives. The crash Of buildings
torn asunder by dynamite and the
crackle of the flames as they consumed
the dry buildings FASTENED their flight,
and the pail Of smoke added terror to
the spectacle. A special train was
placed at the command Of the city by
the Florence g. Cripple Creek railroad;
and three companies Of firemen, with
apparatus were rushed to the scene.
They worked all n afternoon in q
vain cndcavor to stay the march of the
flames. The residence portion of the
city has suffered comparatively little.
but the business portion is paralyzed
and suffering is bound to follow.

A SonSiblo Fad,

In Holland it is still the fashion for
ladies to wash the dainty china and
silver after tea or breakfast in the
presence Of the family and guests. The
same fashion has recently been revived
az a fad among American ladies', and
1t is lot only appreciated as giving an
air of domesttcity to the meal. but also
for the practical reason that a lady's
gentle handling is needed If pretty
glass and ckina are to be preserved for
any length Of time. Had u grand
mothers entrusted the washing of their
tea services to the care of their SER
wants, heirlooms Of beautiful old china
would be rarer among us than they are
now.

CROPS ARE COMING ON WELL.
Week Generally Warm and Dry Except
in the North.

In the North.
The past week has been warm, with
heavy showers in the northern coun.
ties and only light, scattered showers
elsewhere. The average daily excess
in temperature has been between two
degrees and three degrees. The maxi.
mum temperatures have generally been
about ninety degrees.
The rainfull of the week has been
very heavy IN the northern counties,
ranging from two to slightly more
than three inches in parts of Box
Butte, Cherry, Rock, Cedar and Da.
kota counties. Only light, scattered
showers occurred in central and south
ern counties. the amount of rainfall
being generally less than a quarter OF
an inch.
The heavy rains in northern coun.
ties delayed haying and thrcshing,
and caused some slight injury to both
hay and small grain. This week has
been very favorable for the progress
of work and the growth of crops in
the central and southeastern counties,
but rather dry for the best growth o!
corn in southwestern counties. Corn
has deterioratcd slightly in some south
and southwestern counties because OF
the dry weather and continued to grow
well in other parts of the state. The
ground is in excellent condition 70,
blowing in most counties, and rapid
progress has been made in preparing
the ground for the fall seeding.

Five men are dead and ten wounded
as the result of a fight between gen
d'armes and disappointed Cuban sol
diers at Cuevitas, three miles from
Santiago, where the payment of the
Cuban troops is progressing. Five
thousand Cubans had gathered there
to receive pay, and after three days
only $50 had been paid. There were
hundreds who had been disappointed
at other places, and had come to Cue
vitas. A rumor circulated yesterday
that the paymasters would leave today
alarmed the men who bad not been
paid. They, began to collect in groups
and finally their threats became serious.
Captain Baliat, with twenty gendar-
mes was present to preserve order
among the applicants, and the United
States troops protected Colonel Meule,
the officer having charge of the pay
ments. Suddenly Captain Baliat, who
was in command, was shot in the arm,
and hit by stones. HIS men promptly
fired a volley into the mob, three per-
sons being instantly killed and thir-
teen wounded, two Of whom died this
morning.
Colonel Meule's qua I'd promptly sur
rounded the money Office, but took no
part in the fighting.
For a few minutes there was a lively
conflict, carbines and machitcs being
used freely. Captain Baliat was the
only gendarme wounded. All the dead

more than a force is being organized to
attack the pay officers, but these arc

SLIGHT CHANGE OF PROGRAM
First Nebraska Boys Mustered Out
Wednesday

FIRST NeDraska 1bOyb mustered OuV
Wednesday
After preparations has been made
for the transportation of the First rcgi-
ment home, starting from San Fran
cisco Saturday morning, word was re-
ccivcd from Colonel milford that they
would be mustered out Wednesday.
The telegram to this effect came Tues
day afternoon after the governor had
left to attend the convention at Omaha.
The previous understanding was
that the mastering out was to take
place Friday. The change will neces-
state a short wait on the part Of the
men and some additional hustling on
the part of the railroads. General
Barry and Colonel Stark left in time to
reach San Francisco Thursday, or one
day after the boys are mustered out.
according to Colonel Mulford's tele-
gram. 1t is not believed that any Of
the men will scatter, as suggested by
the colonel, when they understand
fully that enough money has peer alb
solutely paid in to provide for their
free transportation home. Steps have
been taken to advise them fully of this
and their friends here need not fear
that the plans already made will fail.
They may start home on Friday, and
in that case would reach home Mon.
