LIVE STOCK CONVENTION.
II VIII Attempt to Secure weather ser-
vice for At0ckmen.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. s.-Among
the numerous matters of Importance
TO live stock men which the National
Live Stock association has been ener-
getically engaged with during the past
year was one seeking to secure for
stock men of the range, or less unset
tied country than of Iowa and Illinois,
emergency warnings of approaching
storms. Such service will be of great
benefit to stock men, as it will allow
them to make arrangements for the
protection of their herd before the
storm is upon them.
r. FL. Brandenburg, section director
of the Weather Bureau, assisted the as
ISOLATION lin this matter with the gov
eminent; and a letter received from
him yesterday by the secretary of the
association says: Pursuant to our I'M
Outstanding / took up in the interest of
the live stock mep the matter of a
change in the regulations governing
the issue of special warnings, and am
pleased to say that Prof Willis L.
Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
has issued instructions to the effect
that emergency or special warnings be
issued when prolonged spells of abnor-
mally cold weather, high northerly
winds with snow, or heavy falls Of
snow are indicated for any section and
that special warnings also be issued
when unreasonable or abnormally hea-
w rains are indicated for any section.
Heretofore these warnings have
been restricted to few selected points
in each state. 1t is, therefore, very
gratifying to know that in the future

Gle the finest building on the globe for

citizens will deposit in the bank bond

on the meeting.
Chicago, Kansas City and several
other towns will make hattering offers
Tor the meeting, but the present 1ndl-
cations are that it will be a battle be-
tween the Utah capitol and Chicago.
The entertainment committee has
nearly everything completed for a
week of pleasure for the delegates and
visitors. The parade, reception and ball
of the Mystic knights of Bovinia on
Wednesday evening promises to be the
feature of the week. The ball room
will accommodate 1000 couples, and
the evenings entertainment will cost
the order several thousand dollars.
The managers of the Range Stock
Exhibition have received entries for
more than 100 car loads of cattle. They
come from every section of the range
country and will make the finest dis
play of all kinds of this class of stock
ever seen in the west.

useful information as to the propaga-
ton, uses, and preservation of such
birds.
sand the secretary of agriculture
shall make and publish all needful
rules and regulations for carrying out
the purposes of this act, and shall ex-

HARSH ITALIAN DEMAND
Italy Demands Punishment Of Tai
ulah Lynchers.

Washington, Jan. 13.-(By Associat-
ed Press.)-The italian government
has signified to the United States that
the persons guilty of lynching five
Italians at Talu1ah, La, last spring,
must be punished. Heretofore in cases
Of lynching of Italians, the matter has
been compromised by the payment OF
an indemnity, but this does not meet
the present demand of the italian gov
eminent. AS under the existing law
the trial and prosecution of such cases
is left entirely to the state authorities,
the national government is well nigh
helpless to meet the request of the
italian government.
