A Few Compliments.

c. E. Holderman drove down from
Welch Saturday morning. Like good
many people up and down both our
railroads he has learned that every
thing calculated to interest the resi-
dents Of the Northern district can be
obtained, daily, at 40 cents a month,
by subscribing for the Daily Chieftain.
He's "stuck on it, to use his own
expression. Along this line we may
be pardOned for repeating the state
ment of +. VI. CrOwell, of Alton: Il
get out Of The Daily Chieftaiu every
thing il is essential / should know
regarding the affairs Of this country,
in a compact FORM" Thursday night
George Blakeney, one Of the carriers,
was sick and a substitute unacquaint-
ed with the route made the delivery
for him. The result was, several per-
sons failed TO get their papers, among
them Mr.. Little. In reporting the
omission the gentleman took occasion
TO say that lie had rather miss any Of
the other papers he received than The
Daily Chieftain. What paper would
not be stimulated to greater exertion
by such complimentary expressions as

Pleasing Intelligence.

One of the most successful plays of
the last few years is "What Happened
to Smith," put on at McVicker's, in
Chicago, and which will be presented
this winter in New York. A great
many readers OF the newspapers haze
noticed the catchey title, but very few
of them are aware that the author Of
the play is Mark Z. Swan, the husband
OF a Vinita girl-Jessie Mae Hall. Mr..
II. G. Allen, manager Of Hoyt's COM
edY company, who is here arranging
for this weeks engagement, was dis
cussing theatrical affairs in The Chief
tain Office last week. In speaking
Of recent theatrical successes he
named what Happened to Smith, 3"
saying that the author, comparatively
unknown in this line of work, had
made such a phenomenal hit" that
any play ne might write would COM
mand a big price. The gentleman
was not at the time aware that vi
nita had local interest in this play,
though when il was called to his at
tentior recalled that he had learned
when here three years ago that Vinita
was Miss Halls home.

Taken Home for Burial.

The body OF Walter Mccain, who
died at the Henderson house Tuesday
afternoon last, was shipped west on
the Frisco. At Talala it was taken
across the country, by wagon, TO Bar
tlesville, for burial. The family had
been advised by telegraph that he
young man was very sick and his
mother, Mrs. Gus McClain and E. G.
Morris, the uncle, started for Ninita.
A second telegram, announcing his
death, was sent after they left home
and so the first knowledge they had
of the fact was gained when they
alighted from the cars Wednesday eve.
To the mother the blow was very
severe one. DeceaSed's father has
had pneumonia and is not yet out Of
bed. The young man was here as a
witness in the Geo. Whiteturkey muir
der case (the killing took place at the
HOgshoOter Dicnic).

CATTLE FEEDING.
An Industry Which Is Certain to
Assume Important Proportions.

George Nidiffer started with 300
feeding steers and has lost but three,
two of which he thinks were killed by
lightning. Mr.. Nidiffer's experience
and observation on the gain which
feeders show, the light losses and low
price of feed lead him to believe there
are no more favorable feeding grounds
anywhere than the Indian Territory.
This industry is certain to expand as
the range cattle business diminishes,
is very much safer and in every way
TO be preferred. Any man of judg-
ment, having a quantity of feed, can
now borrow money at favorable rates
to buy all the cattle he needs to con-
sumo it-and some who have not the
iudgm ent. This condition viii insure
the selling Of less corn at 20 and %
cents bushel by the men who raise
it, aud the turning off instead Of a
car or two OF fat cattle each winter at
a handsome profit.

Tried Lunching Them.

Ii having been difficult at times to
get together a quorum Of the directors
Of the First National bank at the
monthly meetings, a new plan was
employed Friday. President Bagby
ordered a lunch served, at Gu,'s at
1890 P. m, with the result
that bank officers and guests to The
number Of ten were brought together
The bank officers were, President
Bagby, Vice President ]. o. Hall,
Cashier W. p. Phillips, Bookk"eper
w. L. Chapman, Directors DR.. Fort
ner, W. II. Kornegay, E. n. Ratclifl
and NJ. Z. Milford. The guests were
r. L. Mcclure, f. L. Parker. The
experiment was 50 successful that il
will probably become a permanent
feature-if President Bagby is so
minded

the new drive whist club, was a very
pleasing incident in our social circle.
Whist was INDUCED in, four tables

capital idea that such should be the
case, as most Of our people live very
busy lives. The refreshments con-
sisted of salad, chocolate and cake
and if there is one accomplishment
possessed by 'Miss Carrie" more pro-
nounced than another, it is that OF
baking cakes. Those present, in ad-
dition TO the members Of the house
hold were Mrs. George Blakeney, Mrs.
Milford, Misses Nell and Fan Byrd.

THE LANDRETH WAREHOUSE.

The warehouse for the Albert Land
reth company is mammoth concern,
exceeding in appearance the conception
one might have from statement OF its
dimensions. Il is 62x1S4 feet. The foun-
dation is as solid as are those of the sky
scrapers of Chicago. The foundation is
on hardpan, then ties, plank and rock
three feet wide. The stone foundation
on this substructure rises four rect above
the surface This is all filled up with
sand so that the floor rests on solid
basis The walls are 20 inches; the grid
ers are of Georgia pine, "a timber so sol
id that it will sink in water. There is a
fire wall dividing the warehouse. 1t will
have capacity of over $500 tons and
will be heated by steam.
The work is being done by Louis PITT
and George Kennedy. They expect to
have the building completed by the mid
die of December 1t is one of the largest
as we'll as one Of the most substantial
buildings of the city and there is probab-
ly no warehouse north of Milwaukee
equal to it.

GROWTH OF RTHWESTERN
BUSINESS.

WHEN Charles Huchthausen first came
to Manitowoc as the agent Of the Chica-
90 d Northwestern, he, H. Halverson
and jim Carey constituted the office
force. There was warehouse and the
Two Rivers engine did the switching.
The pay roll of local employees amounted
to $500 per month. Now the pay roll
for the office aud warehouse force and
yardmen here amounts to 1000 per
month. There are five engines used for
switching The Office force numbers ID
men. There are II men employed in
the warehouse, five in the passenger and
baggage department., three at Calumet
station and two at Lake Front This is
exclusive of yard men, engineers, fire
men, switchmen and general utility
men. The number Of men employed
here by the Northwestern now fully
equals what were here when we had the
machine shops. And the need for more
is growing.
For it must be understood that Mani
towoc is now one of the most important
points on the Chicago a. Northwestern
system. 1t is second only TO Milwaukee
and has run Milwaukee q dusty heat.
The business done here for October
would have distanced Milwaukee if the
flour trade had not been shut off during
October on account of the warehouses in
the east being crowded In business,
Manitowoc beats Omaha, Council Bluffs
and La Crosse 1t beats everything on
the Northwestern line except Milwau-
kee This does not include through
freight except such as is billed here for
transhipment The business west ex-
ceeds that going east. For the month
of October the business of the North
western here for which local record had
to be kept, amounted to $l6S, 952, and this
with very light -four business which is
now picking up.
The company has about completed a
new Office for its local force. 1t is 36x40,
two stories and attention has been given
TO architectural appearance A portion
of the lower floor will be used as an adj
dition to the local warehouse. On this
floor will be the Office of the cashier, ac-
countant and yard foreman. On the
second floor will be the quarters of all
the Office employees, The building will
have all the modern convenieuces.
