BUFFALO FOR MARKET
Texas CattJe Company Has Entered Into
the Business Extensively
Most people are oftbe belief re-
marked Sheriff Taylor of Sherman
Texas as he leaned against the desk
t the Clarendon this morning and
Shaded his eye against the clerks dia
mond stud that the American bison
Is an extinct animal but that is a great
mistake It is trjie that in comparison
with the numbers of the beasts that
nsed to thunder over the western plains
the numbers now to be found are insig
nificant but yet there are somejn ex
istence and there are measures now
under contemplation for the propaga
tion of the species so that in time they
may become reasonably common again
I know of only one herd of buffalo
in Texas that belonging to Mrs Mary
Goodnight of the Goodnight Cattle
Company In the panhandle Her herd
comes down from the original stock
of the staked plains Several years
ago the herdsmen of the Goodnight
pastures captured three calves and
after domesticating them as much as
their natures would permit proceeded
to breed them This was done as a
pastime and without any special pur
pose in view until the race began to
go out of existence and then it was
decided to go into the inbreeding as an
Industry So the herd has grown until
now it numbers about seventy sixty
or more being full grown and healthy
specimens of the species
I have often seen these animals on
the Goodnight range and they certain
ly bring to mind the old time on tho
plains The Goodnight people have the
means to go into the cultivation of the
buffalo on a liberal scale and in Texas
It Is understood to be the purpose of
the managers for Mrs Goodnight to
dispose of none of the stock for a pe
riod of years say twenty live when the
herd will number something like 5000
I am told that there are other herds
In the United States Buffalo Jones of
Kansas has a larxje herd He has al
ways taken great interest in the propa
gation of tho animals and of late has
been working on a scheme to have the
United States Government set aside
a large pasture for the exclusive range
of buffaloes the breeding stock to be
contributed by Mrs Goodnight Jones
and any others who may have any of
the animals which they would be will
ing to part with Memphis Scimetar

PETITIONS TO BE HANGED
A Kansas Prisoner Makes a Strange
liequest of the Governor
Taylor Cook a convict and now in the
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth Kan
has petitioned Gov Stanley that the
death sentence be carried out and that he
be hanged for the murder of which he
stands convicted According to the law
of Kansas a murderer is punishable by
death But for thirty years no convict
id Kansas has suffered the death penalty
ISach Governor during that period has re
fused to sign the fatal death warraut
Taylor Cook was sentenced to the peni
tentiary ten years ago for the brutal mur
der of his wife He now demands that
the full penalty of the law be inflicted
This is the third time that Cook has
begged the Governor of Kansas to carry
out his official duty under the statutes
There are sixty convicts in the State pen
itentiary at Leavenworth convicted of
murder and waiting only the signing of
the death warrant by some Governor
to pay the penalty of their crimes Out
of this sixtyit is said that twenty are
awaiting eagerly the outcome of Taylor
Cooks petition Should Gov Stanley
consent to sign the death warrant these
twenty men will demand a like release
for themselves within a short time
It has often been claimed that in dis
regarding the statute which makes mur
der an offense punishable by death the
Governors of Kansas have inflicted a
penalty tenfold more severe This asser
tion seems to have received verification
in the pathetic story of Taylor Cook
When Gov Stanley received Cooks pe
tition he immediately wrote to the convict
that in no case would the warrant be
signed unless upon the recommendation
of the judge before whom the case was
tried and the attorney who prosecuted it
Cook wrote to Judge Clark A Smith
who condemned him and to the district
attorney but neither would recommend
his execution Again he wrote to the
Governor I have tried to fulfill your re
quirements he said and IJiave failed
It is not through any fault of mine i
now insist that you carry out your duty
as chief executive of this State and sen
tence me to execution It is believed
that Cook will be adjudged insane and
sent to an asylum
CLAIMS AGAINST THE TURK
American Missionaries Jut Big Values
on Boots and Bedding
A special from Washington says that
it is the purpose of the administration to
continue pressing the sublime porte to
pay the American missionary claims
pending against it but those acquainted
with the character of the claims believe
they greatly overestimate the value of
the property destroyed The total loss
which the missionaries at Harpoot say
they sustained as a result of the out
break at that point in 1S95 amounted to
S7985 of which 43700 represented the
value of the buildings damaged 32G7T
the personal losses of the missionaries
and 11G0S the loss on stock and ap
paratus
Rev C H Wheeler apparently suffered
the greatest loss He estimates that 9
010 will be required properly to reimburse
him Among his effects destroyed were
notes and bonds which he values at 2
200 and the accrued interest is put at 1
500 mote Clothing and materials which
he possessed and which were damaged
he values at 1342 furniture 1000
bedding 230 provisions fuel and medi
cine 750 and boots and shoes 35
Rev C F Gates apparently wore more
expensive shoes than Mr Wheeler for
he asserts that those he lost were worth
72 Dr Gates lost clothing valued at
S79 horse donkey and cows 188 and
bedding 370 Miss E C Wheeler values
her clothing she lost at 1138 bedding at
215 and photographs and pictures at
300 Her boots and shoes were worth

Fascination of Iilcht f
Many theories have been suggested
as to why light attracts moths ut
perhaps the best explanation Is thaj it
fascinates them as a serpent dcrf a
bird So much Is this the case that
traps have been devised for their de
struction based on this fact One of
these inventions consists of an eec
tric searchlight in connection with a
blowing fan The Insects completely
fascinated are attracted by the light
and fly ctose to the lantern they are
then drawn into a pipe by a suction
draught and carried to a -sort of mill
which mixes them up with a little flour
The resulting blend is then used for
poultry food When some warships
were using their powerful searchlights
off thecoast of Egypt at more than
two miles from the shore millions of
Insects fascinated by the light trav
eled along the beam of light until they
struck the glass and fell where they
accumulated into a heap more than
two feet in height Light equally fas
cinates lishes and they have been
lured to the nets by a glowlight lower
ed into the water
