NATIONAL GUARDS
MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE A COM
PANY HERE TAKING
SHAPE.
Colonel NJ. c. Barkwell Writes En-
couragingly-Senato Warren Says
Appropriation Will be Practically
Doubled-Latest Equipments and
Krag-JOrgens0n Rifles.

Ir.Ir is now every indication that
the movement for the organization Of
a local company Of the National Guard
will at an early day take substantial
shape The proposition has been under
Discussion FIR several months, in q
quiet way, and has met with much ia
vnr Il is strange that with nearly ey-
cry a,her city in the state supporting
an organization Of this character. and

irrautry and one Of cavalry, the second
city ia Wyoming should SO long have
renamed inactive.
The National Guard is everywhere.
popular. perhaps the most popular Of
lgral organizations. The stare fuvn
i-,,s uniforms. equipments ami quar-
t,.s, and the different companies take
infinite pride in making their quarters
as o-sy ana cheerful as possible. With
very little trouble neat armorics are
transformed iljo club rooms and gym.
ngsiums. where the young men en-.
rolled may spend their leisure hours
exercising in athletics, reading. or
playing games, instead of loatind
about the streets, by far too much Of
a necessity always in Laramie, where
th,re is no public reading room or
gymnasium. The. social benefits of a
National Guard organization are not
the least Of its recommendations and
additional funds are easily raised by
literary, spectacular or musical enter
tainmrnts and dances, the money thus
obtained always finding good use.
A la * number of the young men OF
Laramie have a thorough knowledge
Of military tactics obtained by service
in the late war, or by years Of drill in
the state university under competent
instructors, and others can easily OBJ
tain proficiency in the same line. All
thee are given a chance to put their
knowledge to good use in the regular
drill, and while they may never be
called upon to defend the community
against local dangers and disturbances,
they are available at any time for pur-
poses If national defense, their value
in time of emergency having been DEM
onstrated in the most practical way
during the Spanish-American trouble
1t has also been demo gtrated that
Laramie possesses the finest material
in the state for a crack company either
of infantry Or cavalry.
4 fresh impetus has been given the
National Guard movement in this city
in a letter received by Mr.. w. A. Bart
lett from Colonel NJ. c. Barkwell, to
the effect that matters have so shaped
the future that the way is now clear
for the organization of a first class
company. Senator Warren writes that
in the appropriations for the National
Guard the mount to be received by
this state has been practically doubled
service formed now will be fitted on
with bran new, ~up-to-date equipments,
including Krag-J0renson rifles, etc. y

TO PAINT DEWEY.
President Schwab of the Car
negie Steel Company
Has Employed a Famous French
Artist
TO MAKE PORTRAITS
Of the Admiral and His Wife
if They Win Sit.
Price Is Estimated at S., 200
For Each.

Pittsburg, April 18-Admiral George
Dewey and his wife have been rendered
magnificent portraits in oil of them
selves by President Charles NJ. Schwab
of the Carnegie company and NJ. Char
tan, the famous French portraitist, has
been commissioned by Mr.. Schwab to
do the work. The sittings, it is said,
viii commence at once. The price to be
paid for the portraits could not be learn
ed but is estimated by local artists
familiar with the figures obtained by
the Frenchman on work he has done in
this country to be not under $4,000
apiece.
THIS TOWN IS YOURS"
Washington, April 18.-Representative
Wheeler of Kentucky today presented
to Admiral and Mrs. Dewey a unique
invitation to visit the city of Paducah,
KY, while on their proposed western
enclosed in an oak casket trimmed with
birch which bears the seal of the city
of Paducah, and reads as follows:
ITO Admiral and Mrs. Dewey: This
town is yours. Pull the latch string
we will do the rest Don't surprise u.s.
but inform US when you pull.
The invitation is signed by the mayor
and prominent citizens of Paducah. IN
side the casket were twelve quart bot
ties of twenty year old whisky and a
cut glass decanter incased in silver.
Admiral Dewey said the invitation
was a beautiful piece of work. He did
not give Mr.. Wheeler definite answer
but said he would communicate his re-
ply in a formal letter

WHEAT-Wheat opened at a slight de-
cline from yesterdays closing, but only a
slight one. and showed signs of short COW
ering. The market lapsed into extreme
dullneSS, however, and eaSed off of its
own weight Shorts came into the mar
ket around 661ac for May and their pur-
chases steadied the market and caused a
gradual advance to the close, regaining
the early loss. Northwest receipts were
light, only 1877 cars. Primary receipts small
and exports only moderate Statistics
are rather bearish on account of fine
weather prospects and excellent condition
of the growing crop. The big short inter
est is a. barrier to any material decline
however, but if it were not for this fact
we think the market would work lower.
1t must be remembered, however. that
the stuff is worth the money and that
there is a, stability to prices and these
are not panicky times
CORN-Corn has turned UP again and
indications point to a good advance from
around present prices. The drive made
yesterday shook out timid bulls and weak
holders and has left the market in a good
healthy condition We believe corn is a
safe purchase on soft spots.
OATS+Oats quiet but firm, advancing
in sympathy with corn.
VISIONS-Provisions firm. Hogs
were sc lower at the yards and receipts
overran estimates. There was a strong
undertone to the market however, and
any buying advanced prices rapidly. We
believe a good advance is coming in hog
products, and that pork should be bought
on dips with impunity-

FEDERAL COURT MOVES.
Sessions. viii Be Held in County Court
House.

The federal court is meeting this after
noon IN the court of appeals rooms at
the shawnee county court house, and Will
continue to meet there during the pres
ent term of court, and until the addi-
pleted.
The big derrick. which will be used in
taxing down the north wall of the federal
building, was raised yesterday afternoon,
ana II was expected that work would be-
gin today. Judge Hook announced that
at once for the court to meet in or he
worth.
United States Marshal Sterne at once
consulted with the county commissioners
relative to the use of the appellate court
room in the court house, but T. P. Rodg-
ers, chairman of the board, refused to al
low the room to be used for the federal
court, saying that the court could be held
in representative hall in the state house.
Marshal Sterne reported the matter to
Major. Anderson, secretary of the Com
mercia1 club and this morning, President
Holman, Secretary Anderson. and one or
two other members of the club, went
down ana called on the commissioners,
with the result that they granted the use
of the court house to the federal court.
1t has been necessary to have the north
windows OF the federal court room this
morning, and for that reason the court
moved over as near the south wall as
possible in trying the Swetlick case
When court adjourned at noon, Judge
Hook announced that when it convened
again, it would be in the court house.
The upper corridors of the federal
building have been piled run OF lumber
for the purpose of building false walls to
protect the interior of the north rooms,
as the walls shall be taken down, and it
is expected that the work Will go forward

A DROP ALL AROUND.
General Decline in Iron Prices il
Every Department.


Every Department.
Cleveland, O., April 1S-The Iron
Trade Review will say in its issue of to-
morrow:
THE truth about the iron market has
suffered in much that has appeared in
print the past week. For the time be-
ing stocks have figured as the COM
modify of the trade and iron and steel
have been merely contingent. We leave
to stock market reviewers and Wall
street operators the discovery of mo-
tives for some of the happenings and
utterances of the week. merely saying
on this phase of the situation that the
pessimistic statements sent broad
cast from New York are not
shared by the iron trade at large. The
actual trade developments of the week
can be summarized in few words: A
reduction from 2.15 to 100 in the price
Of bar iron at Mahoning valley mill and
from 2.25 to 2 in steel bars at Pittsburg
mill; a drop of about 81 ton in plates,
or to Is; Pittsburg as minimum for
tank steel on large contracts; a decline
in billets to $3.50 and $33 Pittsburg and
a shading in the price Of foundry iron.
THE iron market is enjoying excep-
tional prosperity this week as it did last
week, last month, the month before and
for u months before that. Prices may
still yield somewhat or they may remain
close to tOday's basis, after the spring
demand sets in. but in either event, the
outlook is for large consumption, heavy
outputs from furnaces, rolling mills and
foundries and for profits that viii afford
capital and labor unusual returns"

TROOPS EFFECTIVE.
Work is Resumed at the Scene of the
New York Strike.

Croton Landing, N. Y, April 1S-In
accordance with the promise made last
night by Gen Roe, in command of the
troops, work was resumed today at the
dam. The strikers made no opposition.
About 200 men reported for duty. OF
this number about fifty were stone
masons while the others were laborers
and men who work on the little quarry
trains.
None Of the men who reported for
duty were strikers and there still re-
main out between 400 and 500, mostly
Italians. OF the fifty stone masons who
returned to work sixteen We're Italians.
AS the men were assembling at the
works separate companies. A. and B..
made a demonstration on the hill. This
was done to assure the strikers that the
soldiers were ready for any emergency.

PARSONS CASE AMENDED.
Owners of the Land Made Parties to
the Suit.

The motion filed by Coleman and Will
Hams, of Clay Center, to amend the
original petition in the Parsons asy-
lum injunction case was heard by Judge
Hazen this morning.
The attorneys for Clay Center asked
to amend their petition by inserting the
names of the owners of the property at
Parsons which was decided to the state
for the asylum site, and to make them
parties to the suit. The evidence of
the case is all in, and Judge Hazen has
the case under advisament. Judge
Hazen granted the petition and said:
ut seems to me that the owners of
the land are necessary parties to a COM
plete settlement of the controversy.
There can never be any substantial
controversy as to the facts, but a con-
troversy as to the law. In order to go
right to the merits and settle the dis
pute, I shall permit the plaintiff to
amend the petition as requested

Will REMYOE TOLBERT
For Completely in Custom House
Frauds.

Washington, April 1S.-The president
acting upon the recommendation of
Secretary Gage will at once remove
John R. Tolbert, collector of customs at
Charleston, S. c., and will appoint Rob
ert NJ. Wallace of Superior, S. c. This
action is taken upon the recent report
of government agents in which it was
shown to the satisfaction of the secre-
tary that Tolbert and other officials and
other employees of the Charleston Gus
tom house secreted liquor in the build
ing for illegal purposes. Wallace, it is
said will dismiss the deputy collector
who are alleged to have a hand in the
storing of the liquor. The clerks who
are presumably innocent of wrong do
ing will not be disturbed.
