TIME NEEDED TO CLEAN RIFLE

Another point on which Mai

gro witnesses was the time required
10 clean an army rife that had been
shot ten or a dozen times. He was
positive that the guns could be clean
ed IN two or three minutes. He was
sure, also. that the guns could have
been cleaned while the men were
moving and in the dark. He said he
had had no experience in cleaning
guns however.
William Foster. a Brownsville dray
man, testified that he heard Vosche

soldiers had trouble with a citizen.
Foster said. also. he heard Voschel
remark, in Tillman's saloon, that
when pay day came the Negroes
would go into the town and shoot IL
up, and that he would go with them.
Voschel was an important witness
for Senator Foraker, In that he tes-
tilted that he heard bullets wnistle
over the military reservation, indi-
eating that the attack was being
made upon the fort.

THE OLD AGREEMENT
SHOWN IN HEARING

Teller now owns 247 ,692 shares of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
according to h testimony Of w. H.
Tflford, treasurer of that company,
given in the federal action at the hear.
ing in this city today. AS Standard

Two Other Large Holders.
The holdings of William Rockefeller
were stated by Tilford to be 11,70O
shares and those of H. H. Rogers 16,
O20 shares.
Asked as to Dividends.
Treasurer Tilford was asked, on the
resumption of the hearing this after
noon, if the dividend of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey in 1898
was $14 ,304, 1888 or s32, OOS, SAL.
The Smaller Sum-.
Tilford thought the dividend was the
smaller amount, n the reason for it,
he explained, in answer to a question,
was that the dividends in some of the
subsidiary companies were paid to in
~dividuals instead of to the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey.

seems to Be COMING True,

"The prediction of the Union Pa
cific early in the season that a coal
famine was IMMINENT this winter seems
to be coming true earlier than was ex-
pected,' said w. l.. Park, general SUI
perintendent of the Union Pacific, who
has just returned from a trip over the
west to a reporter for the Omaha Bee.
1.-The evidence is being given in all
parts of the country, including the
east, where it was not expected there
would be a shortage. This vas shown
last week when the big operators re-
fused to bid on the government coal
to carry the fleet from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. A shortage was looked
for in the west, where there was an
abnormal demand for manufacturing
purposes. The railroads in the west
are now buying coal in Australia,
which Is costing 50 a ton delivered on
the Pacific coast.
Dependent on the Weather.
"Of course, personal discomfort will
be to a great extent dependent on the
severity of the winter and We all fee
a hard winter is coming, Judging from
the four or five years during which we
have had mild winters.

PROHIBITION MATTER
DISCUSSED BY CLUB.

Mr.. Hasenkamp's paper on "Prohibl-
ton as a Political Issue caused a
good deal of discussion at the meeting
last night of the Laramie Literary club.
the first after the summer vacation.
Mr.. Laughlin %contended for separate
organization, holding that the principle
would fare better in the hands of pro-
h~ibitionists alone than if taken hold
of by some other party. A number of
members joined in the discussion. The
county fair question will be discussed
at the next meeting of the club.
The opinion was advanced that the
prohibition party could neve hope 10
accomplish any general revolution by
itself and that it must affiliate with
n or the other of the great political
parties in order to make itself of i'm
portance politically. Against this it
was argued that in many places the
party has already accomplished much
of its own volition and that many
statesmen have incorporated the pro.
hibition plank in the platform which
they have presented to their constitu'
ents. Some OF the members took the
party to task for the manner in which
it subordinates all other questions to
that of the liquor traffic, while others
spoke of the fact that the traffic
was the cause of most OF the evils
that beset this country and that its
complete suspension would do away
with MANY evils.

With the purchase at a cost of about
500, 600 of a tract of land consisting
of 1G0 acres, and lying within the city
limits of Denver, as a site for the ter
minals, yards and shops of a new rail
road which will give Denver a line
into the far northwest. says the Den
yer Republican, comes the announce
ment of the plans of the Denver, Lar
annie and Northwestern road, which
has been incorporated to build a steam
road from Denver through Fort Col
Inns and Laramie, and thence on t o
Lander, Wyo.
From the latter place it is propos-
ed eventually to extend the roa clear
on through to Seattle on the Pacific
coast. The new road will mean much
to Denver if the plans Of the promoters
go through, and the men behind the
road say there is not the slightest
doubt in the. world of it being built.
Laramie as Terminal.
The plans of the promoters of the
new Denver, Laramie and Northwest
ern are to eventually stretch a line of
rails from Denver through to Seattle,
although for the present Laramie will
be one terminus. The road has been
surveyed as far as Lander and con
struction to that point will be pushed
without unnecessary delay. The road
being what is known in railroad par
lance as a north and south" road,
will tap all of the great transconti-
mental routes-the Union Pacific, Chi
cage and Northwestern, Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, and the Hill
lines, and will give Denver railroad
connections with these systems that
it could secure in no other way.
Denver Men With Money.
Denver men will be largely interest.
ed in the financing of the Laramie
road. A considerable block of stock
has already been subscribed in the
city and men who have looked into the
scheme are Impressed with the grea,
advantages that must come to the
state through the building of such q
road.
