HELP FOR CATTLEMEN.
Government VIII Loan Them a
Pasture on Red River.

Washington. July 6.-In response to the
appeal Of the commission merchants OF
Kansas City and St. Louis, who have
large sums of money loaned on cattle
now being pastured in the Kiowa and
Wichita reservations in Oklahoma. Sec
rotary Hitchcock is preparing to afford
the catuemen having herds in the two In
dian countries at least temporary relief.
The 10000 acre pasture located on the
banks of the Red river is to be turned
over temporarily to the cettlemen for graz
ing purposes until their stock is ready for
market. The shipments to Kansas City
and Chicago have already commenced and
with the large number of cattle shipped
to market during the next few weeks the
secretary is of the opinion that the pas
ture on the Red river VIII be sufficient to
provide for the cattle remaining on the
two reservations after August s.
Under the quarantine laws these herds
cannot be shipped north in Kansas, Mis-
souri, or any of the other states before the
middle of September This practically
precludes the pasturing of any cattle in
Kansas. Colorado. Nebraska or Missouri
and cOmpels the stockmen to throw them
upon the market It was this condition of
affairs that caused the secretary to ex-
tend to the cattlemen the use of the pas

ROGERS MILLIONS.
They Are wilIed to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art

New York. July 6.-The Metropolitan
museum of art is made the residue leg
atee of the late Jacob s. Rogers. the
locomotive manufacturer whose will has
been fled for probate at Paterson. It
probably will receive between 81, 000, 900
and $1,000 900. If for any reason the
Metropolitan museum of art does not
accept the gift it will go to the New
York society of libraries. the New York
historical library, the American museum
of natural history or the general society
of mechanics and tradesmen and the
mercantile library association.
The will was dated June 2, 1892. At
that time Mr.. Rogers estimated his
estate to be worth S. 00. 600. but now it
is believed the estate is worth more,
some estimates placing it as high as
$30,000000. The requests of the will are
as follows:
Columbus B. Rogers, a brother. now
deceased, 500. 600: Ella A. Rogers,
daughter of Columbus, $4,000; Julia
Edith Gallaty. daughter of Columbus,
$25, 600; the three daughters of Jason
Rogers, S25. 600 each, and the two daugh-
ters of Theodore Rogers $25. 600 each
Theodore and Jason Rogers are
brothers of the deceased.
A number of smaller requests are
made to the family servants of the
late Mr. Rogers.
