Local Dealers in Live stock Deny
Statements Made in the InteIIi-
Eencer.
The Intelligencer stated yesterday
morning that Humane Society Officer
Echols proposes to proceed against 10
cal dealers in live stock, for alleged
cruel treatment of stock on steamboats,
while being brought to this city. Mr.
Echols was also credited with saying
that he will comnel local consignees to
take stock from the boats within two
hours after they arrive
A j. Goodhue & Co. and Bayha. Dor
sey & Co.. who own the local stock
yards, take exceptions to statements
made in the article referred to, and are
very indignant concerning the misrep-
resentation of facts. They say the
steamer Jewel brought in only five head
the Bedford brought in three head. They
say there is no foundation for the pa
thetic story about the pitiful believing
of the cattle for food and drink. AS
matter of fact, they stated. local butch
ers have upon several occasions refused
to buy stock because they were too fun.
after they had been brought up on
steamboats, and kept all night in pens
without food or water.
Mr. Goodhue said to a reporter:
Nearly all the stock is brought here
on daily packets, the Jewel. Bedford,

PRESIDENT SCHWAB
or the United States Steel Company
May be Here To-Day

The visit of President C. NJ. Schwab
and William T. Graham, of the United
States Steel Company, to Bridgeport and
vicinity for tour of inspection of the
different mills, is thought to be of much
significance to the Aetna Standard mill,
and many think that number of addi-
tons will be made to this already large
plant, which will soon have twenty-five
sheet mills in operation, and if enlarged
will be the largest mill of it's kind in
the world.
The rumor as to these improvements
can not be confirmed, as is also the re-
port that steel plant would be built
in connection with this plant. The ex-
act time as to Mr.. Schwabs visit has
not been learned, but the following is
given out that the officials may arrive
to-day or Friday, but most probably not
until the first of the week

WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTS

OF the New Board of Public works.
Clerk O'Brien's Position.
The old and the new Boards of Pub
lie Works have each placed their pay
rolls in the hands of City Clerk Thomas
O'Brien, Jr. This is the regular pay
day, and the clerk is placed in rather
embarrassing position. The pay roll of
the old Board amounts to $7S5.06. and
the new to s767. Both Boards have been
doing work on streets for two weeks.
The old Board met Tuesday night, ac-
cepted the resignation of j. A. Britt as
superintendent of streets and alleys,
and elected Frank Miller to fill the va
cancy.
The City Clerk adheres to his orig
inal position of refusing to recognize
the approval of their bonds, etc. He ad-
dressed the following letter to Clerk
w. H. PAUL. yesterday:
"W H. PAUL. ESQ:
Dear Sir:-I herewith return you a
document purporting to be the pay roll
of the city Board of Public Works.
Il regret exceedingly, on account of
the men who may have labored under
your instruction, that 1 cannot honor
your warrants. l take it from the Cir
cult Courts decision that the bonds of
the members of the Board of Public
Works must be approved by Council.
This requirement has not been complied
with. After due consideration and
consultation as to the safest policy
am to pursue, and assuring you that
there is nothing of personal nature
in my position in this matter, but pure
ly what 1 consider safe to nay bonds
men and the best interests of the city,
l decline to honor your warrants.
Very truly,
THOMAS O'BRIEN, JR.,
City Clerk"

The work of preparation for the big
carnival in July is moving along nicely.
committees are meeting every day,
mapping out their plans and carrying
them into execution. Mail matter is
beginning to pour in, and the force OF
clerks will have to be increased to look
after it. The advertising committee has
already decided upon button designs,
and the Wheeling carnival button will
soon be in evidence here and elsewhere.
Machinery Hall. on the State Fair
Grounds, is to be the den of Rex. Teams
are already hauling the lumber over for
the extension of the building. as that
immense structure will not be large
enough for the work of constructing the
many beautiful and elaborate floats
which will figure in the carnival pa
rades. A large force of men will soon
be at work on this structure, and from
this time until the date of the carnival
not only the headquarters but the den"
as we'll, will be scene of almost CON
tinuous activity.
The committee is negotiating for the
beautiful electrical fountain which
caused so much favorable comment at
the Omaha Greater American EXPOSE
ton. If terms are finally agreed upon
this fountain alone should be a great
drawing card for visitors, and will well
repay them, 1t is the intention to
make it free exhibition, showing it
upon the streets if possible.
Sigfried, the man of many faces"
who Is said to be without peer in fac
ial contortions and in limitations of IA
nous personages, is making arrange
ments to be in Wheeling during the
carnival. He will give daily exhibitions
of his skill free upon the streets. This
alone will be sufficient to entertain
large crowds for hours.
Mr.. Benson, promoter OF the carnival,
and its director general, expresses him
self as much pleased with the interest
which has been manifested and with
the progress which has already been
made

WARRANTS WILL BE ISSUED
For Citizens Turning on Water
Without Authority.

The Water Board force has been
somewhat hampered in its efforts to en-
force collection of water rents through
the nse of the shut off key by citizens
turning on the water without authority
o. supplying neighbors whose water had
been shut eff.
AS a result of these practices two
warrants will be issued, probably to-
day, for citizens who turned on the
water and one for water renter who
has supplied one or more delinquents
whose water YVES turned off. The max
mum fine for these offenses under the
ordinance is $40 and costs.

To say that Succonotchie was as
tonished when the new school teach
er arrived expresses it too mildly
They couldn't have been mo stonish-
eder," said 81 Hardsock. if one of the
amen elders had taken to being hon
est in a horse trade, or one OF the
populites had foresworn whiskers and
whiskey. The Succonotchie boys and
girls. young men and young maidens,
were a rather u: gentle set, and the
Succonotchie mothers, when the sa-
cred persons OF their offspring had
been invaded by a hickory or their
feelings hurt, were-well, the less said
Of them the safer Between them they

and spicy that with one exception
they all resigned before the end OF the

Finally local talent ceased to apply,

as they had paid out the states money
they must try her month anyway.
Monday morning found her duly en-
throned upon the teachers platform
and the schoolroom full of dazed pu-
pills. At first out of sheer amaZement
the assembly kept quiet. and things
went along smoothly. She mapped out
lessons. divided the pupils off into
classes, and now and then interjected
little homiles about making the SUE
conotchie school the pride Of the
state. Her manner was so winning
and appealing that it went straight to
the hearts of the elder boys and girls.
However, their curiosity soon palled.
A little breeze of whispering fiuttered
through the room, but it was not long
before it had swellcd to perfect tor
nado of talk. The teacher had not
noticed the whispering. but could not
pass over the tornado. In vain she
raped for order. In vain she told
them they could not learn this way
and were throwing away the best
years of their lives. With this state
ment they radically disagreed Who
ever heard Of bullying a teacher called
throwing away ones life"
By and by the boys began to wad
up paper and throw it at each other.
The school divided into armies, Brit
ishers and Beers. and the wads few

An open letter from Mrs. Isobe,
Strong, stepdaughter of Robert Louis
Stevenson, comes right upon the heels
OF resolutions which congress has
passed against the sale Of liquor anG
firearms to uncivilized peoples. Ever
since the Samoan islands came undel
.ne influence OF tho United States
Great Britain and Germany, she says
an organized effort has been made tt
keep drunkenness out The native rul-
ers have shared this effort But since
the islands were divided and Tutuila
allotted to the United States, license
has been issued for a saloon in Page
Pago, our harbor there, and the saloon
is under construction. Mrs. Strong
calls attention to the matter becaus
she believes the people of the United
States may not know what is being
DONE and ought to know. She says,
with justice, that to participate IN
the international efforts to stop tn ,
sale Of liquor among native tribes in
Central Africa. and to fail to stop it
zen the power is all in our own
hands. would be sham affectation OF
decency.
