UcsMoixr.t In. . Juno 27. [ Special Tele-

clsion filed by the Iowa supreme , court for

les ) Molnca Narrow GntiKe utreet railway
company against thoiiroad Gauge .street rail *
way company of the same city. In 1WX3 the
city council save a company that proposed
to operate- street car line a charter grant
ing them exclusive rlk'ht to the streets of the
city for thirty H'nM. Last } car a new com-
IMUV proposed to hullil another street rail
road , mitas enjoined by the old ono on the
claim that the charter of 1S5 controlled
nil of the streets of the city exclusively for
thirty } ears. The now company won In the
lower court on the ground that the council of
twenty years URO had no rleht to tmitcraway
an exclusive rlulit to rmbllu street * . Mean

A CHAPTER ON CANINES.
A. Citizen Wants the OOR Tax Raised
to $5O.
OMAHA , Juno 20. To vho Editor of the
BKE : I was glad to notioo In your Sat
urday's issno an editorial suggesting that ,
In view of sovurnl recant cases of chil
dren and others bomg attacked by dogs ,
the nuliuals should bo uithur muy./.led or
conlicd.
It is H fact that impresses itself
Very forcibly upon ono coming from nn
castor city , that Oninhn is infested to au
unusual extent with cura whoso number
is only exceeded by their worthlussncss
How they can ntl'ord any pleasure to their
owners it in dillicult to imagine. Many
of them doubtless have no owners , al
any rate , tincared for aa they arc , it
would bo sheer kindness to terminate as
speedily as possible , their miserableox
istcnco.
The city government or our police
force will probably not act decisively m
this matter , and will , perhaps
await the development of a
genuine case of hydrophobia
RS the result of a dog bite , ana when two
or three human lives have boun sacri
ficed within their judicial wisdom con
clude it Is about time to slaughter n few
worthless and miserable dogs.
i would suggest that thu dog tax bo
raised to say $00 per annum and vigor
ously enforced. This would at leas
Imvo the oiled of ridding the city o
worthless canines who ranko our streets
dangerous by day and render night hid
cons by their infernal yelps ana howls
They areof no use whatever , nnd it is
infinitely better that they should all bo
killed than that our children should bo
in constant danger of incurring tha
most dreadful of nil diseases hyuropho
bla. Please ngitato the matter until the
dangerous nuls.in o is abated ,

He Apologized.
Detroit Free Press : Soon after day
light wo wore all aroused by a wrangling
in the sleeping car , nnd presently it was
discovered that the row was- between the
porter ami a passenger the latter nn old
man with a fringe of red hair nronnd his
hkull , who had turned iu without un
dressing.
" 1 toil you I hcv bin robbed brutally
robbed ! " shouted the old man.
"It can't be , Bah , " replied the porter.
"Then whore's my money my ? 1J ( ? I
had it iu my handkerchief when I went
to bodl"
"Better look around , salt. Mebbo it'a
in do berth. "
"Don't mobbo mo , von infernal nigger.
I'm a telling yon that some ono has
basely and brutally robbed mo ns I
slept. "
' 'Wo all turned out and began to count
up to see if the robber had got anything
moro , nnd while wo wore doing this the
old man was pulling on his cowhide
boots. The right ono went on with a
chug , but when it came to the loft he
found an obstruction. Reaching in his
hand he pulled out the handkerchief and
the money.
"Dat's what I 'apeetod all do time , "
said the much relieved porter.
"Ynas , tills isthostutV. and I remember
of putting it thar , " replied the old man.
The colored man felt that ho ought to
have an apology of some sort under the
circumstances , and after taking two or
three of us into the smoking-room to got
advice the old man went back and said :
"Look hero , Moses , I'm a fair man. 1
thought yon brutally robbed mo , but yon
didn't , nnd I civo you credit for it. I
also called you nil Infernal nigger.
Please move to strike out the word 'in
fernal' and out she goes , and now you
blasted nigger como out hero and show
mo how to get some water to wash iul"
Good , If True.
WASIUNOTOK , Juno 23. Prof. Klisha
Gray is said to have n now discovery ,
which promises as extraordinary results
as are obtained from the telephone. No
patent has as yet been issued or even ap
plied tor , but the invention is protected
by about thirty different caveats. Meun-
while the inventor te engaged in perfect
ing it. The general plan can perhaps DO
best described by the term "auto-tele-
graphy. " It Is claimed that it will bo
possible by this invention to write upon
a sheet of paper and to have an auto
graphic fau scmilo of the writing repro
duced by telegraph oOO miles away anil
probably a much greater distance. The
successful experiments so far have been
limited to about three hundred miles.
It is expected that the same results will
be obtained on much larger circuits. It
may bo some time before tha invention
is perfected , but the inventor has great
confidence that a great and practical
rival to the telephone will ultimately bo
produced.

Armour has at last decided to locate a
packing house at Omaha. Some time jo
mention was made in thuso columns that
the J. A. Lipton packing house at South
Omaha was killing hogs for Armour &
Co. The meat was lo'idcd into Armour &
Co's refrigerator cars and .shipped to
Chicago. This house is now to be
turned over to Armour & Co. , who will
operate it in the future , . 'The house is
very complete and provided with all the
latest devices known in the business. It
has a capacity of handling from 1,000 to
2,000 hogs pur day. It was constructed
last year by the stock yard" company for
Thomas J. Lipton , who also has a pack
ing house in Chicago. Lipton is the
largest retail dealer of provisions in the
world nnd has over thirty mammoth re
tail establishments in England and Scot
land. To supply this trade he has located
packing houses in America. The trade
which Lipton supplies demands what are
are known as light hogs that is , hogs
weighing from IbO to 2'd pounds. Jn
some parts of the country , where corn is
not plenty , it is easy to obtain light hogs ,
but , in Nebraska , where corn is in abun
dance and cheat ) , the farmers will not
sell their hoc- ; , while they weigh only 200
pounds , when they can nmko thorn welch
1500 pounds by keeping them a little
longer , and thus realize more for them.
For this reason the Lipton packing house
at South Omaha has not been a success ,
aa the kind of hogs necessary to supply
their trade could not be had. The house
has been running in a small way over
binee it was opened last fall , and , aside
from the past few weeks , it has not been
any help to the Omaha hog market. A
good manv of the hogs which they killed
they wore forced to ship up from Kansas
City. All this will bo changed now ,
as Armour handles all kinds of
hogs , both light and heavy ,
and will take them as they como. The
house will be run to its fullest capacity
and will thus bo a great help to the
market by creating a greater demand for
hogs. It is talked that Armour will
build additions to the packing house and
increase its capacity , but at this early
date it is impossible to give any exact in
formation as to what these improvements
will bo. The hoc men are nil greatly
elated 9ver the announcement that Ar
mour is coining here at once , as his
name alone is a .source of great strength
to a new market like this. Said one ,
"Armour is the best man any market
could have , ns ho is always booming
prices up instead of bearing them down ,
knowing that it is no disadvantage to
pay a biir price for his hogs when by
doing that he compels his competitors to
pay the same prices. "

A. Stock Yards Water Famine.
A water famine is staring the stock
yards pcoplo in the face. The water sup
ply has boon found inadequate to the re
quirements of the largo packing houses.
It was hoped that the pond near the
yards would sufllco until the artesian
and other wells could bo .completed , bat
the pond Is now almost dry and it will bo
weeks before there will bo any moro
wells completed. The Stock
Yards company Attempted to
make some arrangement with
the Omaha waterworks company to run
a main down to the stock yards. The
waterworks company , however , would
not do anything unless a live 5 cars' contract -
tract was entered into , which the stock
yards company did not feel like doing.
As ! It now stands , thu Fowler packing
house will , without doubt , bo forced to
shut down until moro water can bo had.
The stock yards company have decided
to lay a pipe line from the river to the
yards. A 10-inch pipe will bo used , and
to save time it will bo laid on top of the
ground. A pump will bo placed on the
river bank to force the water up to the
yards.
