Mr. Speaker: Yonr committee ap
pointed to visit and investigate the con

the stock vards emnanv. furnished ns
com-
. .
Yarding, including weighing cattle,
25 cents each; hogs, 8 cents each; sheep,
G cents each.
There is but one charge made for
weighing, and when stock is received
on its track the company is responsible
until stock is sold and weighed.
Ue further stated that thev charged
company uo not sen stocK niaeeu on
market, but hold the commission men
responsible, for the reason that the
railroad companies hold the Stock Yards
company responsible for frejght.
All cars of stock received from the

the railroad eompany 1 per car for

CROVER WILL BE A G2AR
Political Plams Will Go to Machine-Men
and Anti-Snapper Alike.
New York, March 3. Referring to
the position President-elect Cleveland
will take regarding the political fac
tions in this State the Herald says:
When Mr. Cleveland announces the
dames of successful applicants for
office it will be plain that he is endeav
oring to hold.aloof from faction fights
in New York. His determination now
is to recognize neither faction in hh
first appointments, but to parcel out
gifts to whom he considers competent,
men, irrespective of their affiliation
with either machine-men or anti
tnappers. Both Cleveland and his advisers fully
expect that this plan will lead tU com
plications. If Cleveland selects a ma
chine-man for place and the anti-snap-
pers "kick" lie intends t ignore them.
If, on the other hand, he names any of
the prominent anti-snappers for office
and the appointment raises a breeze in
"kick1
the ranks of the Hill-Murphy combina-
tion they will receive a very clear in-
timation from headquarters that Mr.
Cleveland cares for none of their ad
vice. HENRY F. SHERMAN DEAD.

T. nnd Senator John Sherman.
ClevkIAni, Ohio, March 3. The
death of Henry F. Sherman Occurred
on the steamship Lahn last Friday
while en route to Europe from

the law firm of Sherman, Hoyt & Dus
tin, and was well known in this city,
which has always been his home. His
wife, who survives him, is a daughter
of the Hon. George A. Benedict, for
many years editor of the old Cleveland
Herald. His age was about 50 years.

A WAf? AGAINST SMOKE.
St.
Lonls Grappling tVlth the Smoke
Nuisance A New Bridgo Acros
the Misslsslonl.
&f'
?.'ntif. Feb. 24. In a group of
business men smokls? cigars after din
ner at the Mercantile club Jh other
afternoon, the statement was made "by
a manufacturer that the city would
spend fully a quarter of a million dol
lars in testing smoke-preventing de
vices this year, ne meant, of course,
the manufacturers of the city who have
joined the club which intends to clear
the air df the smoke. This club got up
the bills organizing tho city crusade
against the smoke nuisance, which tho
Mayor has just signed. The lawn cs
tablish a trarean with inspectors, whose
duty it is to proseeiild those who will
not use smoke preventing devices on
their furnaces. A peculiarity of the
law that distinguishes it from those
proposed n otner cities is uiai any in-
ventor can havVJ lite device tested and
its merit decided upon -by aboard of
experts paid by the city. The club
hopts to rid the city of half of its smoke
cloud by the beginning of summer.
Ever since the Merchants' bridge
was conlpfcfe'd ifc has been Been that
St. Lotlis would have to have another
one to cross the Mississippi for the
special use of foot passengers and
vehicles. The Eads bridge built up
En St. Loui9, and tho
Merchants'
bridge made Sfsdison and eniee gro'.v i
into uounsuiug iuw. j i.c tip;
these two towns cannot get iO S.
Lori on foot or by vehicles. They
must use fie rlar trains of tho Mer
chants' Terminal Company, or wait for '
slow ferry-boats. They want a bridge (
over which electric cars can run, and j
people can walk. The bill now before
Congress provides for this kind of a
bridge, which is to be built by St f
Louis men at a cost at about 300;ooo.
Mayor Noonan has just .sig":ied a bill
that will give St. Louis another eiec- t
trie street railway before the crowds '
begin to fill the city for the j
Fall Festivities. The road will I
run along Grand Avenue. one i
of thc widest and most important resi-
dence throughfares of the city. It will
enable one to ride from the cemeteries,
to the Grand Avenue viaduct, and
across that to Tower Grove Park. Thc
road will cost half a million dollars,
and will be built entirely by St Louis
capital.
The St. Louis Turner societies are
noted all over the United States for ther
gymnasts. There are six turn halls in
the city, and the membership of the
societies is over 20,000. About five
nunurea oi tne oest oi mese gymnasts
are being drilled for exhibitions at the
World's Fair. The corps will include
i all the young athletes who participate
j in the events on the Turner nights at
t t" at. Louis exposition, and there will
be besides, a specially drilled body of .
a hundred men or so who are known i
among tho Turners everywhere ,
as prize-winners in inc national
competitions. The corps will go to the
World's Fair prepared to issue and re-
ceivo challenges for all sorts of feats of
strength and skill, and they hope to I
engage in competition with Turners
from Germany. '
Russian I'aters.
The Russian eats on an average every
two hours. The climate and custom re
quire such frequent meals, the diges
tion of which is aided by frequent
draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is i
the Russian whisky made from pota- I
toes and rye. It is fiery and colorless,
and is generally flavored with some
extract like vanilla or orange. It is i
drunk from small cups that hold per- I
haps half a gill. Vodki and tea are thc
inseparable accompaniaments of friend- .
ly, as well as of business intercourse in
tho country of the czar. i
Cataract.
Cateract is an opacity of tho lens of
the eye. It is due to lack of the proper I
nutrition which has been interfered I
with, either as the result of an acci
dent or from old age or from various ,
other causes. ,
The symptoms are, 1st: Gradual loss :
I of vision: 2d, absence of pain; 3d. a
I grayish or whitish appearance of the
pupil. The last symptom does not
make its appearance until late in the
