TO GET BUSY IN SPRING
PROSPECT FOR EXTENSIVE I'M
PROvEMENTs In sTOCKYARDS.

Present Indicate promise quite ex-
tensive Improvements next spring at the
South ST. Paul stock yards, although
thus far the details of the work to be
done have not been decided. Gen. M. D.
Flower, president of the Union Stock
Yards company, when asked yesterday
what might be expected in that line,
said:
ITO tell the, truth, this is a little prema-
ture for that sort of thing, as no de-
cisive action has been taken by the board
of directors of our company. 1t has been
my custom to report to the board in
March of each year such improvements
as l consider necessary, and that body
then acts upon my suggestions in time
for US toebegin such work as is to be
done early in the. spring.
eve will need added facilities of vari-
Gus kinds next year, as we always have
before. Our increase of business has been
about Is to 20 per cent annually, and we
look for at least that proportion in the
year to come. We will probably have
to add to our paving and extend our
sew er system We have twenty miles Of
railroad tracks now, and next fall, when
the busy season comes upon us, we will
undoubtedly have to add mile or two,
or perhaps even more.

Packing company will enlarge its plant.

DOSE OF CARBOLIC
CoMMIT SUICIDE WHILE

August Ekstrand, living at 326 Webster

OF the house physicians, and they ordered
the unconscious man sent to the city

ed to the hospital to attend the man.
Ekstrand is forty-seven years old. and
has wife and several children. He was
employed by L.. L. May, and has always
Teen considered a good workman.
He had been drinking, and it is thought
he did not realize what he was doing
when he took the poison, and if he SUR
wives it will be largely due to the fact
that he had been drinking heavily.
Early in the evening Ekstrand threat
ened to shoot himself with revolver,
and the Ia;nily, becoming alarmed, call
ed in Officer John Nicholson, who con-
fiscated the weapon, and, on examination,
it was discovered that there were no

est checker player in the world. He is
modest man. of ample means, and he
will not play for money. But Mr.. Muir
ply has in social games beaten the
best players in this country, England
and Ireland. The late John r. Williams
was one of the best players in Rich

Murphy.

Queen Natalie, of the gypsy tribe
camping near MorristoWn, New Jersey,
were divorced recently according to the
rites of tribe. The sacred marriage rod
was brought out and placed on cloth
in the centre Of circle OF gypsies.
Then the property of the tribe
was brought out Half Of it was placed
on one side of the rod and half on the
other. Then the Queen opened book
and gave the number Of the page. The
King did likewise, and as he came
nearest the centre of the book he step
ped over on the north side Of the mar
riage rod. The Queen took her place
among the goods on the south side of
the rod. They stopped to the ground

posts set in the form of a rectangle
twelve feet long and eight feet wide.
At one end TIE posts ere about five
and one-half feet high, at the other
only three feet. Across each end OF
the rectan2le an eight-inch board il

upper edge of these boards are cut
notches about four inches deep and
two and one-half inches wide. Begin

Now take boards four inches wide,
thirteen feet long and not heavier
than one inch thick. Arrange these
in pairs, as many pairs as there are
notches in each end board. and bore
holes through them at intervals OF one
foot, preparatory to boiling them to-
gether. Brush which has been co.
lectcd from the thicket is now placed
between these boards and clampcd
fast. For the sake Of clearnesS only
one OF these brush is shown in the IL

for them in the end boards, with the
brush hanging down. They arc held
down by narrow board nailed across

lie Practiced the Good Old Virtues, Eut
the Sooner Got Ahead of Him.
The Man from Yesterday had
learned the old-fash-ion-ed virtues
SO he worked -dust-ri-ous-ly. But
the Sooner, having pre-empted the
land on which the Man from Ycs-ter
day must work, charged him rent
every time he was Industrious.
Eventually, when the Man from
Yesterday had raised all the po-ta-
toes the Sooner could eat, the Soon-e-
gave him notice TO quit.
The Man from Yesterday took W
education in order to increase hi:
opportunities: wnere-up on the Soon
or bought up all the land around him
and held it for q rise, which he in.
tended TO take out of the Man from
Yesterday.
The Man from Yes-ter- day, seeing
that the Sooner was getting more
possessions than he could manage,
reasoned with himself that If he
could show his devotion to his en-
ploy-ers interest, he would be more
val-u-able; so he became very hon
est. This decreased the Sooner's eX
pense Of managing his property, so
it increased in value. and he took w
more land.
Seeing that his share Of his own
product would barely keep him, the
Man from Yesterday studied econ
Omy. Where-up-On, seeing that he
could live cheaper than before, the
Sooner cut down his wages: and
when the Man from Yesterday OBJ
ject-ed. the Sooner told him that il
he was not salts fed he could quit
WOrk-and quit living.
The Sooner endowed Il college to
teach the Man from Yesterday that
it was all right, and when the Pro-
fess-ors said that Honesty, Industry
and Per-sev- er-ance were the ways to
raise the rents, they were dismissed
for Standardization.
Then the Sooner, seeing that the
Man from Yesterday was be-Gom- ing
restless, engaged a clergyman to

Our Growing Seaports.

The general development of our cX-
port trade has had the interesting eff
feet of increasing the relative activity
OF several Of our seaports, and thus
reducing somewhat the too heavy pro-
portion Of the foreign business cleared
through the port of New York. We
were doing a large export business i'll
the spring and early summer of last
year; but the gains of this year over
last. as indicated in the statistics Of
the last few weeks, are nothing short
Of startling. The greatest gains have
been in cotton and cattle, with a good
gain also i'll breadstuffs. AS the result
especially of the great export business
IN cotton, aided by the increased
movement of cereals through South
ern ports, New Orleans has for the
first time taken place next to New
York as respects the value of it's ex-
port trade, thus diSplacing Boston. In
the year 1900, New York was credited
with only forty-seven per cent. of the
total foreign commerce of the country,
IS against an average Of more than
NIFTY per cent for several previous
years New York still continues to
receive considerably more than sixty
per cent. Tin valuel of the country's
imports, but last year it handled only
about thirty-seven per cent. of the
exports. Boston and Philadelphia
have been comparatively stable in the
volume of their foreign trade. while
Baltimore, Newport News, New Or
leans, and Galveston have made great
gains as also have the Pacific Coast
ports. owing TO the progress of our
Oriental trade.-The Review of Re.

A LION ROUNDUP.
Grand Hunt OF tho Mammoth Cats IN
the Arizona Mountains.

the Arizona Mountains.
A big roundup of lions is now TAX
ing place in the San Francisco noun
tains, about $50 miles north of F.a5-
staff. In that country the big cats
are to be found in larger numbers
than in any other locality in Arizona,
and the party expects to bag several
hundred of them. At one time the
California lion was to be found in all
parts OF Arizona, but large territorial
and county bounties have caused ms
determination in many places. Many
thousand dollars have been paid By
each county for lion scalps, and at
$40 per head hunters have found it
profitable business, some CT them, in
times PAST, killing a score Of lions ia
weeks time, and a total OF over
$4,000 has been paid in Arizona TO-
scalps in the past ten years. Hundreds
Of lions though have been shot by
many who have not claimed the bou1-
ties, taking as their rewards the fact
that they have disposed of the cause
Of the slaughter Of the calves, colts,
and lambs
While the lions have grown less
common in the southern part Of the
territory, there has been no perceptib,e
decrease in their numbers in the wild
er northern regions. Sheepmen in the
San Francisco mountains have COM
planned Of late that the lions are kill
ing off ali their lambs in such num-
bers that their raids are proving ruin
Gus to the sheep industry. John Nc
Carthy, territorial game warden. has
organized the hunting party and the
district where the lions abound will
be thoroughly gone over. The animals
will be driven into the center of a
circle where they can easily be killed
