to the good woman that such ejacula-

her fervor.

THE

Dispatches from Washington indi
cate that another strong effort Is to be
made to enforce the law against fenc-
ing the public domain. Some six
months ago a gentleman by the name
Of Mosby, with a Col" prefix. was
sent into the state of Nebraska for the
purpose Of making a report upon lille
gal fencing In that commonwealth. He
shot of his mouth from Dan to Beer
sheba and from the Niobrara to the
Blue, and only succeeded In getting
himself removed. 1t Is not the policy
Of the government to make a big blow
over this or any other matter. Agents
Of the government who know their bust-
ness rarely ever seek a newspaper
man to air what they are about. 1t
now appears that Commissioner Rich
ards has appointed another agent to
go over the same ground, a man who
rs said to have the confidence Of the
administration and who knows his
business. A special dispatch to the
Omaha Bee in relation to this matter
says:
"W. A. Richards, commissioner gen.
eral Of the land office, today ordered
Special Agent w. D. Defrees to proceed
from Crookston, Mimi. to assume
charge in the Alliance land district in
Nebraska. Special Agent Defrees Is
to take up the work inaugurated by
Colonel John S. Mosby in the matter
Of illegal fencing of the public domain
and kindred subjects in the Alliance
and North Platte land districts. This
designation of Special Agent Defrees
is significant in that it is the initial
step looking to the ultimate overthrow
Of all fences which may have been
erected by cattlemen contrary to law
ut will be recalled that Colonel Mos
by made a rather complete and exhaus-
tive examination of the condition then,
and rendered a report which startled
the department regarding the prac-
tees of cattlemen and their agents,

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

New York to Watson: The week opened dis
appointing, the chief cause of complaint being
the absence of public business. The accumu-
lation of outside buying orders over Sunday was
unexpectedly light. In fact, the bulk of bust
ness, it Is generally agreed, for profess
sional traders and the pools. In these respects
the market resembles rather closely that, of 1
year ago. Yet conservative sentiment continues
hullsh, and In influential circles there Is un-
abated confidence In higher prices. ! In these
circles the belief that public sympathy will be
such bullish incentives easy money, increas:
ing railroad earnings and the settlement of the
railroad labor troubles being relied to bring
and Stillman are talking about a, big rise in
Union Pacific, the exact basis of which Is
shrouded in mystery. Union Pacific would benc-
fit by the rumored proposed increase in the
dividend on Northern Securities, but it is whis-
pered that something much more important may
develop to put it up.
Refined sugar advanced ten points.
London-J. S. Morgan & Co. deny the report
that a new Morgan trust is projected to include
all British, German, French and Italian shipping
companies loading between Europe and South
Alnerica.
New York to Tromas & Dunnell The buying
Of Erie is good. 1t looks like going higher.
New York to l.. r. Sowle g. Sons: Lquida-
tion of the past few days may continue somewhat
further, but money rates for the time being
should remain easy, and we look for some I'M
provement in the general market. =.

among traders is bearish. Strength Of ex.
changes leads to fears of early gold exports
