RANGE CATTLE SHOW
At Denver is q Prominent Feat ure o
the Live Stock Convention.

Denver, JAN 25.-The range cattle
show at the stock yards is receiving
marked attention from the cattlemen in
attendance at the national live stock
convention. The yards were filled all
day. Traders were confined almost ex-
clusively to the cattle in the yards, but
there was a whole lot of talking be-
tween the range men of the north and
the Nreeders of the southwest. The sit
uation is nearly a deadlock. Texas men
are holding out for last years prices
and northern men are standing pat. The
prices last year were SIS for calves, $40
for yearlings and $25 for twos. The big
Texas breeders insist that they must
have that figure this year or they will
hold their cattle and the northern men
insist that they can not afford to pay
the money. Five years ago Montana
took nearly $4,000 head of Texas cattle.
Last year she took less than 1000 head.
The northern ranges are depleted and
the stocknen up there are anxious to
restock but thus far have made no con-
tracts.
Resolutions recommending a uniform
bounty law for the determination of
predatory animals in all the western
states and territories formed the sub
Ject for discussion at the opening of the
convention of the National Live Stock
association today. An interesting fea-
ture of the discussion was an exhibit
of wolves, the chief offender against
cattlemen. The display included tan
ned skins, mounted animals and live
wolves in their savage state and only a
few days in captivity.
The discussion was opened by A. J.
Boutwell, of wyoming. Mr.. Boutwell,
stated that Wyoming had been practi-
cally free from wolves until about the
beginning of the last decade when they
began to appear in the northern portion
of the range country. Said he:
Their advance southwark has been
gradual but certain, until now the ran
ges of central Wyoming have nearly as
many wolves as cattle occupying them.
They now pretty well cover eastern
Montana, the Dakotas, all of eastern
Wyoming and are beginning to appear
on the ranges of northwestern Colorado.
In central Wyoming my experience has
been that these wolves kill from 10 to
20 per cent of the annual increase of the
herd He told of the unsuccessful eff
forts during centuries past to extermi-
nate wolves in Europe. In France $40
is paid for each wolf killed. Russia
pays $3.50 per head and yet the annual
damage to stock in Russia. from wolves
is from 49, 500, 900 to s7,250000.
Mr.. Boutwell, recommended legislation
with the following features:
F7irSt-Permanency of the wolf boun-
ty laws.
Second-A bounty large enough to war;
rant men in following wolf killing for a
business.
Third-A uniform law in all of the
states infested by the animals.

JUST LIKE INDIANS,
The Cubans Are to be Dealt With,
If Occasion Arise

Havana, Jan. 25.-Should Cuban sold

the United States military administra-
ton will know what to do. They will be
followed by a force of cavalry and per
sistently pursued. The same general
method will be observed as has been
followed in dealing with the Indians on
the plains and mountains of the west.
The subject has been carefully consid-
cred by old border fighters, who are
confident they could care for the BAN

stationed in the province of Pinar Del
Rio, the Second cavalry regiment in the

and the Eighth cavalry regiment in the
province of Puerto Principe. The de-
partment governors and the command
ers OF the various garrisonS have re-
ceived instructions to keep on the alert
and to take the first opportunity which
brigandage may afford to show what
the United States soldiery can do to
suppress it.

DENoUNCE
Brigham II. Roberts-R Representative
Abrams Introduces Resolution
Against Seating Him.

Representative Abrams, Republican
of Cowley county, today introduced into
the house resolution protesting against
seating Brigham H. Roberts in con-
congress. 1t is as follows:
Whereas, By repeated refusals to
pass an enabling act to allow the admis-
sion of statehood while the dominant
religious influence, the Church OF Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, fostered
pOlygamy as a religious rite and While
the same religious hierarchy dominated
the political movements of that COM
1nonwealth, the United States congress
Established a precedent toward the pro-
lection of society and a true democratic
government; and
Whereas, Now that Utah, on the
promises of her leading citizens and the
manifesto of the president of the church
been admitted to statehood after adopt
ing an anti-polygamous constitution
thereby giving her a voice in the coun-
ellis of the state; and
Whereas, In defiance of her promises
to congress and her acceptance of the
provisions of the enabling act and in
the violation of her own constitution
and statutes, she has elected a notable
and undenied polygamist to represent
her in the lower house of congress by
such a majority as to leave no doubt of
her hearty concurrence in his we'll
known domestic life; and
Whereas, The seating of this Repre-
sentative, Brigham H. Roberts. can not
fail to give moral support to the con-
tinued teachings of which the said Rob-
erts is an open advocate both by pen
and practice, and act thereby to make
more thoroughly imperative than at
present the laws of congress and of the
state of Utah against polygamy, also
operating to negative the former laws
and attitude of the congress of the
United States.
Therefore be it resolved, by the house
of representatives of the state of Kan
Sas, the senate concurring therein;
That the members of the Fifty-sixth
congress, and especially those who
requested to vote so as to deny to the
said B. H. Roberts a seat as represen-
tative in the house, especially in view of
his Acknowledgement under the Edmons
and Edmons-Tucker laws as a polyga-
mist.

WOMEN ON SKATES.
Some Striking Costumes Seen in New
York Kinks.

When New Workers get a fad they take
the exquisite costumes which have been
exhibited this winter the ice are as
interesting as the gowns worn at the
opera
The woman who skates realizes the
value of bright cOlors and the comfort of
a short skirt, and knows the possibilities
of her dainty foot. Her boots are stout
and heavy, but shapely. Heels are strong
and toes round.
Shirt waists of flannel, velvet or CASH
mere in bright colorS worn usually
with turbans or toques, bearing quilts or
feathers. Other gowns of velvet trimmed
with sable, chinchilla and mink, with tur-
bans to correspond, are worn.
But it is the skating petticoat, a Paris
ian novelty, that is the most attractive.
These petticoats are somewhat shorter
than the usual skirt and some are lined
with nuns yelling, cashmere or plain fan
mel They must not rustic, and for this
reason cannot be silk-lined, but they must
be made exquisitely because of possible
tumble on the ice.-New York Press.

FISHING FOR RATS.
Atchison People Have a New Fad,
Says the. Globe.
IAtchison GIohe.1 -

IAtch1SOn GlObe.I
There is new fad in Atchison: fish
ing for rats.
A few days ago a railroad man drop
ped into Atchison, and noticed a rat
coming up out of hole in Fifth street
billiard hall. He got a string, and max
ing slip knot in one end, placed it over
and around the hole. He got a. piece of
cheese, and put it near the hole, and
waited. Presently the rat appeared, and
the stranger gave the string a little
jerk, catching the rat around the neck.
1t was only a few minutes until he had
a large audience. He caught several
rats, and every one in the audience took
a hand at fishing for them. Half the
boys in town now have their favorite
rat holes for fishing. Atchison can now
claim the distinction of having the only
fad of its kind in the world.

The Dead Bodies of Colorado Ranch
man and His Wife.

Barr, Col, Jan. 25.-The dead bodies
of Charles N. O'Hara and his wife have
been found in hole in one corner of
their ranch near here. They have been
missing for several days, and a search
was instituted, resulting in their being
found with their skulls crushed. Frank
Harold, who has been employed on the
O'Hara ranch, is under arrest, charged
with the crime. r. J. McCleary has
been arrested as an accomplice.
The supposition is that the O'HaraS
were murdered to secure their money
which was thought to have been re-
ceived in the sale of a bunch of cattle
When the fact of Harold's arrest be-
came known threats of lynching were
so numerous that Harold was secretly
taken to Brighton, where he is being
protected by a strong guard.

HARBAUGH is PAID.
The Detective Allowed Pay For His
Services in the Collins Case.

lowed the claim of Detective Dell Har-
baugh for services in the Collins case.
The amount allowed was 1898, about SIS
for 81 a day during the trial, and the
commissioners reduced it to SIS a day,
which was the amount agreed upon by
Mr.. Harbaugh and the county attorney.
1t was at first thought that the COM
missioners would make an attempt to
evade payment enirely because County
Attorney Jetmore was not authorized to
employ the detective at a regular ses-
sion of the board. The members of the
board, however, changed their minds
and decided to carry out the terms of
the agreement and pay Mr.. Harbaugh
what he is entitled to.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to

Chicago. Jan. Is.

WHEAT-Disapo cables and a
more settled feeling in wall street today
gave wheat a weak start. May opened
A02sc lower at 727sM73c and as the crowd
were inclined to sell out the price dropped
to 725sc. That was the turning point.
however, for the same bullish feeling that
prevailed yesterday began to manifest it
self again. The arguments used were the
same as heretofore, that the speculative
interests of the country were growing
more friendly to wheat and that it was
which these interests have recently given
the security market. This view was talk
ed up SO industriously that it seemed to
permeate the whole trade and shorts COW

mendation. The specifications did the
accused a great injustice In that 1T Sc
1ected particular expressions without
giving the context and in one or more
instances the specifications quoted be-
gin in the middle of a sentence. Contin-
uing, Mr.. WOrthington said that he de-
sired to state briefly to the court the
substance of Gen. Eagan'S defence.
Whatever, said he, the court may think
of the propriety of the language used
by Gen. Eagan before the war investi-
eating commission there was no doubt
in his CWorthington's) mind that he
was fully protected in using that lang
uage by the laws of the land. In no
court, civil or military, he said, could
the accused be held accountable for his
language, even if it could be shown that
the speaker was actuated by malice. In
addition to this the president of the
United States had instructed the war
investigating commission to announce
publicly that witnesses before that tri-
bunal would be given immunity for
whatever they might testify to. This
was a solemn promise given by the
president of the United States and
counsel had no doubt that the court
would find that Eagan could not under
these circumstances be held to answer
a military court-martiaI for his lang
uage.
In closing Judge Worthington said
that Gen. Eagan could not be held ac-
countable for his language before any
tribunal in this country, civil or mill
tary and particularly under the preSi-
dents order of immunity.
