Lawrence Hoist , the Scott street livery
man is having a run of bail luck these
days. First , one of his best rigs was stolen
by an unscrupulous Individual and It was
only after a good deal of expense had been
Incurred that the horse and buggy were
recovered at Oakland. Saturday evening an
other party failed to return with a rig that
he had hired and the police were notified.
After several hours' search the outfit was
found In the southwest part of town , where
it had been left , hluhed to a post. The
party who hired It has not been found.
The last straw , however , that broke the
camel's back was the Injuring of "Maxey , "
Hoist's valuable pacing horse , late Saturday
night. One of Hoist's customers was driving
the horse on Washington avenue , when he
was run Into by a negro driving on the
wrong side of the road. The shaft of the
negro's buggy penetrated Maxcy's neck and
yctterday It was very doubtful If the horse
would recover. The negro , after he disen
tangled himself from the wreck , drove away
In the darkness and his Identity was not
disclosed. Hoist's buggy , almost a brand
new one. was badly damaged. Maxey is
valued at Jl.OOO and has a record closely
approaching 2:10. : Mr. Hoist U now wonder
ing nhat will happen next and whether
it would net be cheaper for him to quit
biiblness.

Contrary to expectations , tte Barbers'
Protective association failed to Interfere
yesterday with Kritz Bernhardl and he was
permitted to keep his shop open and attend
to the needs of his patrons without bring
arrested or molested. It was reported Sat
urday that the members or the association ,
despite the outcome of the case In Justice
Ylen'B court , were determined to have Bern-
liardl arrested yesterday morning If he per
sisted In plying his trade. What reason
the barbers had for not carrying their In
tentions into effect Is not known , as those
seen yesterday declined to talk. The general
belief Is , however , that the association Is
figuring on somp other line of action , as
the members realize It Is usefess to prose
cute Bernhardl or any other barber who
Keeps open on Sundays , as no Jury .ran be
gotten to crnvlct. It Is understood that
the barbers have enlisted the aid and co
operation of the labor unions in their effort
to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest.

NOT IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN
Oily Authorities Oppjied to the Scheme of
Oatch Boxes in Streets.
ORDINANCE IS TO BECOME A DEAD LETTER
LETTERI I
.Majority of the Aldermen Are '
AKnhmt AnnrilliiK Any Contrnrt j
n * HIP HrM Wny In Keep
( Jut nr Trouble.
Although the ordinance providing for the
placing of catch boxes for rubbish and
waste paper at the street cornetB was passel
by the city council at the request of the
Clean Street company of Chicago It Is now-
very doubtful If any contract will be en
tered Into. At first the city authorities
thought the plan was a good one , but since
the ordinance was pasted many cf them have
changed their minds. They are Inclined to
profit by the experience of other cities.
In accordance with the ordinance bids ter
the placing of the catch boxes have been
advertised for and It was expected that the
contract would have been let at the meet
ing of the council tonight , but. the matter
will be postponed and It probably will be
relegated to a pigeonhole. There are sev
eral reasons why the aldermen do not view
the scheme with such favor as they did
when It was first broached. The Clean
Street company In Its preliminary proposi
tion offered to pay the municipality 10 per
cent of Its Income derived from advertising
matter on the boxes , the advertising to be
foreign and not local. Hero Is where one
hitch In the proceedings might occur. In
case the city should be able to secure a
higher bid from aome other company than
the Clean Street concern of Chicago It nat
urally would be Inclined to award the con
tract to the highest bidder. This , If the
reports received from a neighboring city
are true , the Chicago company says the city
would not have a right to do. The Chicago
company claims to hold a patent on the
catch box plan and In the city In question ,
where the contract Mas let to a party who
offered to pay the city 12 per cent of the
profits , the Clean Street company has noti
fied the city council that It intends to have
the contract set aside. The officials of Coun
cil Bluffs have all the litigation on their
hands that they want , and a little more , too ,
and they nre not seeking any fresh lawsuits.
OI > Jct limiililr A dvrrt I mom on IK.
Then another difficulty that Is possible to
arise Is In connection with the advertising
matter. This might prove objectionable to
some of the citizens and taxpayers as it has
In Des Molnes. There it Is reported that the
company having the contract for the catch
boxes has displayed advertising of some
article made by non-union men and all the
labor unions are up In arms and have peti
tioned the city council to have the objec
tionable advertisement removed. There be
ing nothing In the contract to cover such a
matter , the council of the Capital City Is con
sequently powerless to compel the company
to remove the advertisement.
Then again some of the city officials are
of the opinion that the ordinances now In
force are ample to have the streets kept
clean If they were properly enforced. One
ordinance provides that no waste paper shall
be thrown on the streets and It is the opin
ion of several aldermen that the 'fact ' of
placing boxes at the street corners Will not
help matters any. Parties In the habit of
throwing paper in the streets -will not , they
say , go to the trouble of walking to the cor
ner of the block and dumping the- rubbish
in the boxes provided for such use. An
other objection is that the boxes In all like
lihood will become the depositories of matter
for which they are not Intended. For In
stance , people will be apt to throw In rotten
fruit , ashes and any kind of rubbish that
now either finds Its -way Into the garbage
barrel or Into the streets. The boxes , If put
to this use , would become loud smelling and
offensive , especially in hot weather , even
though they were cleaned out every twenty-
four hours.
Taking everything into consideration the
city authorities are inclined to give the
catch boxes the so-by and make an effort
to have the old ordinance prohibiting the
throwing of refuse matter and waste paper
into the streets enforced.

DEADWOOD. S. D. , July 2. ( Specials-
Ragged Top district , which Is located about
nine miles west of this city. Is rapidly com
ing to the front owing to the treating of the
ore of the district by the cyanide process.
The Spearflsh Cyanide company fixed up the
old stucco mill at Spearflsh nearly a year ago
Into a cyanide plant and treated the ore
from Calamity Gulch first , this being a dis
trict south of Bagged Top proper about a
mile. The ore was found to be especially
well adapted to this process , from S3 to 92
per cent of the values in the ore being saved.
Allen , Small and associates , who have a
lease on the Ulster mine , naw the mmlt of
the Spearfish plant and they are now erect
ing a twenty-ton plant between Ragged Top
and Elk mountain , which will be ready to
receive ore In thirty days. F. M. Wall and
W. E. Bates , who own considerable mining
ground In this district , have also commenced
the erection of a twenty-five-ton cyanide
plant r.ear Maurice station , which will get
ore from the Ragged Top country. This
will make three cyanide plants for the dis
trict with a combined capacity of about 100
tons of ore per day. This ore will average
about $12 per ton and It can 'bo treated at a
profit of from $5 to $ S per ton. There are
Immense bodies of this grade of ore in the
Ragged Top district which afford excellent
places for Investment. Ragged Top district
Is also shipping out a large amount of high
grade ore from the surface mines. The
average value of the ore is higher than any
other refractory ore camp.
R. M. Maloney has started up his cyanide
plant at the old Deadbroke mine and mill
In Blacktall gulch. He has leased and
bonded the property and the cyanide addi
tion if made to the stamp mill after a care
ful series of tests with the process.
Judge Joseph B. 'Moore of the Elchth cir
cuit , with others , has a lease on the Alamada
mine In the Bald mountain district and is
shipping about twenty-five tons of ore per
day to the Spearfish cyanide plant. The ore
averagcn about J10 per ton and a good profit
Is being made. Judge Moore has contracted
to furnish 3,500 tons of ore to this plant.
A contract was let this week by the Ella
Eldon 'Mining ' company to sink a 100-foot
shaft from the surface to catch a tunnel
which Is being run in from the side of the
mountain. This company owns five claims
in Grizzly gulch , south of the Homestake
possessions. Several hundred feet of tun
neling and cross-cutting have been done and
a body of ore has been encountered of a
commercial grade. Hon. E. W. Miller of Elk
Point , S. D. , is one of the principal stock
holders In the company , and hi > Is In Deadwood -
wood at present superintending the mining
operations.
Harris Franklin , vice president of the
Golden Reward company , has returned from
New York , where has has been to witness
the formal turning over of the Deadwood &
Delaware company's" properties to his own
company. On June 19 the transfer occurred
and now the Golden Reward company owns
all of the possessions of the great Deadwood
& Delaware company. Including the smelter ,
mining ground and lime quarries. The
Golden Reward now ranks next to the Home-
stake In the amount of money Invested In
Black Hills properties.

One of the most remarkable facts to be
found In the history of sleep , says Harper's
Magazine , consists In the utter Inability to
resist Its onset In cases of extreme fatigue.
Several remarkable Instances are Riven In
which persons nave continued to walk on
ward while sleep has overcome them , the
automatic centers of th ? brain -
trolling and stimulating the muscles when
consciousness Itself had been completely
abrogated. It Is reported that at the battle
of the Nile , amidst the roar of cannon and
the fall of wreckage , some of tlie orerfn-
tlgucd boys serving the guns with powder
fell asleep on the deck. Dr. Carpenter gives
another Instance of allied kind. In the
course of the Burmese war the captain of a
frigate actively engaged in combat feli
asleep from sheer exhaustion and slept
soundly for two hours within a yard of one
of the biggest guns , which was being
actively worked during his slumbers. It Is
a matter of common medical knowledge that
extreme exhaustion In the face of the sever
est pain will induce sleep. Here the impera
tive demand of the body a demand Im
planted , ac we have seen , In the constitution
of our frames asserts Its tnfluence ; and
oven pain , the
ordinary conqueror of repose ,
has In Its turn to succumb. "
One of the
most extraordinary
cases In
which the overruling power of sleep was
ever exemplified was that of Damlens , con
demned for treason in Paris in 1757. lie wai
barbarously tortured , but remarked that the
deprivation of sleep had been the greatest
torture of all. It was reported that he slept
soundly even In the short Intervals which
elapsed between bis periods of torture.
fnvyiE the Chinese a form of punishment
for crimes consists In keeping the prisoner
continually awake or In arousing him Incessantly -
santly after short Intervals of repose. After
the eighth day of such sleeplessness one
criminal besought his captors to put him to
death by any means they could choose or
Invrn : . so great was his pain and torment
due to the absence of "nature's soft nurse"
Persons engaged in mechanical labor , such
an attending a machine In a factory have
often fallen asleep despite the plain record
of pains and penalties attending such a dcre-
llctlon of duty , to say nothing of Hie sense
, of personal danger which was plainly kept
i before their eyes.

WASHINGTON . July 2. The fiscal year.
which ended on Friday , was exceptional for
the American merchant marine In several
letperts. Full report * will not be received
by the Bureau of Navigation for seTeral
weeks , but returns already received warrant
these statements :
The total output of American shipyards
has been the largest of any year for the last
quarter of a century , except ISM. when 1.3S4
vessels of 369.302 grosn tons were built and
documented In the United States. During
the last fiscal year the construction of mer-
rhant vessels , officially returned , has con
sisted of 1.129 vessels of 320.ST8 grcas tons.
Besides these twenty-two vessels of foreign
construction , aggregating 30.181 gross tons ,
have been admitted to American registry.
It is alsD reported from Manila that since
last August 141 vessels have been transferred
from the hands of the Spanish. German and
British subjects to Americans. Indicating the
confidence of the business men of Manila In
American government. The tonnage of these
vessels han not yet been reported and the
transfer does not carry with It all the rights
of American registry. Had the senate passed
the house bill for the registry of Hawaiian
vessels the total additions to our merchant
fleet during the year would have reached
nearly 400,000 tons. Our largest annual pro
duction was In 1855. when 2,027 vessels of
3S3.45n tons were built and documented.
During ISPS Great Britain built 1.349 ves
sels of 1,139.114 tons. The difference In the
kind of vessels built Is roughly disclosed by
the average size , our construction averag
ing only about 223 tons , while the British
averages 900 tons. Nearly all of our new
tonnage Is built to navigate In the coasting
trade reserved to American vessels. The
only steamships built directly for the for-
"Ign trade were the Havana and Mexico of
the New York and Cuba mall and the four
admiral steamships for Cuba and Jamaica ,
aggregating 19.750 tons , which were built
under the postal subsidy act. In anticipation
of legislation- the coming session , how
ever , construction * has begun or been con
tracted for on about 100.000 tons of steel
steamships for foreign trade and trade with
Hawaii and Porto Rico , Involving an ex
penditure of about $15,000,000.
Slenm Vi-nncl * I-'nJoy Ilnnni.
For the first time In our history on June
30 the total tonnage of pur steam vessels ,
when tabulated , will exceed the total of all
other kinds of documented vessels. During
the year , however , 460 sail vessels of 06,458
tons have been built , compared with 426 of
42,502 for the previous year , while the steam
vessels built number 47S of 167,851 tons ,
compared with 64S of 110,128 for the previ
ous year. In certain trades our large sail
ing vessels endeavor to compete with for
eign cargo steamships and doubtless will
continue to do no at all events on the con
struction of the XlcaraguM canal.
The most notable vessel is the John
Smeaton , a steel schooner of 5,049 gross tons ,
but the West Superior is probably the lar
gest fore and aft vessel ever built. The lar
gest sea-going vessel built in Europe In
1898 was the Ernest Siegfried of Havre ,
3,214 tons.
For the first time , In oiir. history steel has
become the prlnc sal mqterlal.in.our annual
construction of rigged vereelsthe steel ton
nage for the year being1 133,991 tons ; wood ,
13Q.30S tons. Iron has ceased to be a ship
building material , only one vessel of nine
tons having been built of Iron. During 1SOS
In Great Britain 99 per qent , or practically
the whole construction except small fishing
vessels , was of steel.

Stephenson's time and , I believe , under bis
personal supervision , relates the Los Angetes
times. But the carriages ! There were two
of them , first and third class , respectively.
The first class ae ommodatlon crnslsted of
an open truck , such as cne sees dally in
New York carting cotton bales or other
merchandise , but provided with some
benches. Rude and uncomfortable as It'
seemed , however. It was luxurious compared
to the third class carriage , which was neither
more nor less than a common closed van ,
such as cattle or furniture ore conveyed In. '
and boasted neither seats , buffers nor
tprlngs. Third class fare was but 14 cents ,
but the first class passengers were mulcted
in the sum of 25 cents for a Journey of barely
seven miles.
The engine driver , who officiated Inciden
tally as conductor , brakeman , guard and
porter , came around collecting the tariff.
A little conversation elicited some surpris
ing facts la connection with this absurd ,
out-of-date line. Formerly It had been the
custom to sell tickets at the termini ; little
triangular blue and white bits of pasle-
I board , with a hole In the middle , so that
I the ticket collector ( also engine driver.
! stoker , etc. ) . could file them away on a
I string. But. alas ! the ravages of time spare
j not even railway tickets , and eventually
j they were all worn out ! So now the fares
' are collected on board. The rate of speed
< wat strictly limited to tea miles n hour.
but kuidenial delays. * uch as picking tip
passengers , chasing stray ha's , removing
cattle or sheep from the track , took up so
much time that not Infrequently an hour
and a half or more was consumed In coverIng -
Ing the short distance. I may mention that
passengers picked up on the wayside paid
no regular fares , but merely tipped the
engineer
The need of time tables was unknown , for
the train ran but one nay each day , and
arranged the time of departure to suit In
tending travelers. It Is related with much
gusto In these parts that two commercial
travelers once arrived at Bodwln Just In
time to see the train round a curve some
quarter of a mile off. Turning to the ngcd
station master. Mr. Worth , one of them In
quired at what hour the next train would
leave. "Day after tomorrow , " laconically
answered that official.
The astonished drummer looked at him
pityingly and nudging his companion ,
whispered : "Poor fellow ; he's crazr. " But
they were soon undeceived , and learning the
true state of the case , hired a cart at some
expense to accomplish their Journey. What
was their mortification , after proceeding a
couple of miles , to see the train put back to
Bodwln , because , as they subsequently ill-
covered , the engineer had forgotten to bring
his pipe along'
An interesting function always took place
whenever an Incline was reached. The
driver , having regulated the speed of his
Iron horse , would climb out on the front
of the engine , and. sitting between the buf
fers , strew sand on the rails : occasionally
It has happened that the supply of sand
proving Insufficient , the engine would be
uncoupled and would steam away to the
depot In search of more.
The country through which the little rail
way passes is of a high order of beauty ,
and affords many picturesque glimpses.
Bodwin Itself Is a quaint little town that
dates back to the dayn of the Phoenicians ,
and In later times was of much Importance.
This may be judged from the fact that It
supported a cathedral and no less than
thirteen other churches. The remains of an
old leper house are still to be seen , com
memorative of the terrible scourge that In
1350 ravaged the whole country around. But
alack-a-dny ! the solemn mnrch of progress
Is already beginning to destroy thin relic of
bygone days , and the ruthless hand of con
tractors and navvies are paving the way for
an ordinary , common , everyday service of
expresses and milk trains , and the inhabi
tants are deploring the loss of their steady-
going. If slow and uncomfortable , old train.
STOPIMXIS A CATTLB STAMPKIJK.
Sllrk Work of n Coivhoy rvlth n llnsr

"One of the slickest things I ever saw In
my life , " said a veteran army officer to a
Chicago Record man , "was a cowboy stop-
Dine a cattle stamnede. A herd of about
"
600 or SOO had got frightened at something
and broke away pellmell with their tails In
the air and the bulls at the head of the
procession. But Mr. Cowboy didn't get ex
cited at all when he saw the herd was
going straight for a high bluff , where they
would certainly tumble down Into the
canyon and be killed. You know that when a
herd like that gets to going It can't stop , no
matter whether the cattle rush to death or
not. Those in the rear crowd those ahead ,
and away they go. I wouldn't have given a
dollar a head for that herd , but the cow
boy spurred up his mustang , made a little
detour , came In right in front of the herd ,
cut across their path at a right angle and
then galloped leisurely on theedge of that
bluff , baited and looked around at that
wild mass of beef coming right toward
him. He was as cool as a cucumber , though
I expected to see him killed , and was so
excited I could not speak.
"Well , sir , when the leaders had got
within about a quarter of a mile of him I
saw them try to slack up , though they
could not do It very quickly- But the whole
herd seemed to want to stop and when the
cows and steers In the rear got about where
the cowboy had cut across their path I was
surprised to see them stop and commence to
nibble at the grass. Then the whole herd
stopped , wheeled , straggled back and went
to fighting for a chance to eat where the
rear guard was.
"You see , that cowboy had opened a big
bag of salt he had brought out from the
ranch to give the cattle , galloped across the
herd's course and emptied the bag. Every
critter sniffed that line of salt and of course
that broke up the stampede. But I tell you
It was a queer sight to see that man out
there on the edge of that bluff quietly roll
ing a cigarette , when It seemed as if he'd
be lying under 200 tons of beef In about a
minute and a half. "
