Why He Wept.
The s uthwcst has renchcd ft reminiscent
nee. In a general way the professional bail
nnn Is talked about , not seen. Probably
nowhere are stories of the old times told
oftener than In Oklahoma , where scores ami
score * of men who followed the frontier In
Itfl palmiest days now llv . Tales of Dodge
Cltr , Kan. , once the parftdlso of the gambler
nnd the killer , 'but ' now a town of peace and
qulot , are most frequently heard. A group
of atorjr tellers were sitting In the shade
the other day , relates a correspondent In the
Now York Sun , talking of bodge when
Judge Jeremiah C. Strang , once Judge of the
Sixteenth Judicial district of Kansas , came
long. Judge Strong held court at Dodge In
Its wildest days. One story teller mentioned
the fact that Bat Masterson , nt one time the
jiiont noted gambler nnd six-shooter artist In
JJodgc , was now following the monotonous
life of a faro dpaler ot Hot Springs , Ark.
Juduo Strang began talking of Masterson
br ylnjr that the nerviest man he ever
knew was A. B. Webster , who was mayor of
Dodge In the early eighties. Webster was
nlso proprietor of a saloon. Said the Judge :
"nat Masterson was making things lively
nt Dodge In those days and hU reputation
as a shooter was known all over the west.
Ills brother Jim had been shot and wounded
In a light while Bat was out of town. Bat
came homo with the declared Intention of
killing the- man who shot Jim. He soon
came In sight of the man ho was after ,
nnd both began shooting , but without hitting
each other. Webster , who was then mayor ,
stepped out af his saloon with a shotgun
and called to Masterson , saying :
" 'Bat , throw down your gun nnd come
over here. '
"Hat turned and saw that Webster meant
bunlness. Ho hesitated , but finally threw
down hia gun and went to Webster , who
said : ,
" 'Do you BOO that freight train standing
on the track over there ? Well , I want you
to go straight to that train , get aboard ana
leave town. There's been killing enough
hero and I'm tired of men showing up here
Jiut to kill each other. I want you to stay
out of Dodge for a year. If you don't do It ,
I'll kill you on sight. '
Dlxplnr f rvo.
"Mnoterson left town. Month * had
elapsed , when Webster heard one. day that
Masterson wns preparing to come back and
kill him. The < plar > vaa { or Masterson nnd
elx friends to start from Kansas City.
Masteroon organized his expedition at the
Marble hall , then a noted gambling place
In Kansas City. One mam came from
Tombstone , Ariz. , another from Trinidad ,
Colo. , and the proprietor of the Marble'
liall himself was of the party. Each of
the seven armed himself with a double-
barrelled shotgun , In addition to his brace
of pistols. The train pulled Into Dodge
nnd the tfbootera got oft. Enh man cocked
hie shotgun and laid It across his arm. |
Masterson led the procession , his allies
walking behind , two and two.
"The news was carried quickly to Wob-
Bter that war -was at hand and that the
Mastorson crowd was beaded for his ea-
loon. Everybody In the saloon , except
Webster and his bartender , a German , got
out of the -way. Webeter was unarmed.
Ho walked out on the sidewalk with his
bands nt his eldo and looked at hie ap-
proachlmg-rencmlos , as unconcerned as If
they were strangers. Not a muscle ot his
face moved 'OB 'ho' looked Masterson steadily
In the eye. 'Ncxt.door to Weboter'B saloon
was anotherJcalltid the Long Branch. The
Mastorson 'crowd came straight ahead until
rwlthln a few feet of Webster , but did not
raise their guns. Tp the surprise of all
MtiBtorson suddenly called out , 'Right about
face , ' and the seven marched Into the Long
Branch.
"Onco Inside , Maoterson said : 'Boys , did
you notice that fellow ? He's the bravest
trim I ever saw , nnd the only ono that I
cvor knew to stand up against a game of
this kind without flinching. Why. that
man's face looked Just as It ho was asleep.
He's too good a man to be killed In this
country" I'm going to call the thing off. '
"Masterson laid down bis gun , told his
' companions to stay behind and walked
Btrnlght Into Webster's saloon. Each knew
the other well. Masterson began by eay-
Ing : My name's Mnsterson , Bat for short , '
nnd held out his band. Webster replied :
'I'm glad to know you , Mr. Mnsterson. My
name Is Webster , Web for short , ' and the
two shook hands. Masterson ordered the
drinks and after they had emptied their
Klnssos throw down a handful of money on
Iho bar. Webster brushed It anlde with the
remark that his friends couldn't pay for
onythlng In lil saloon.
"Mastorson returned to the Long Branch
nnd each of bla companions , one at a time ,
wont Into Webster's place , formally Intro
duced himself , shook hands and called for
the drinks. Finally , the seven went In a
body. Mflstcrson acted as spokesman.
" 'Web , ' ho began , 'we came to Dodge
today with the determination to kill you
on sight. I want to repeat my statement
that you are the bravest man I ever saw
nod are too good a man for anybody , to kill.
I wont to call this thing off. "
"Webster solzcd his outstretched hand and
paid : 'Bat , wo will not talk about It any
more ; your year Is up. '
"Nothing but Webster's unflinching cour-
iigo and Mastorson's admiration of It saved
Webster from being shot to death. Master-
eon , whom I knew well , told mo afterward
tbat the plan wns. to empty fourteen loads
of buckshot into Webster at sight. 'But ,
Judge , ' ho continued , 'when I saw him
landing there as ho did , I'll be d d It I bad
tbo heart to do It. '
PrlKhtrncMl liy n Flnnli.
"Tho fear of death from an unseen enemy
was Bomothlng tlm oven the most daring In
tliat desperate crowd of men could not ce-
cnpo. In a street fight or In a band-to-hand
encounter In a gambling room three men
would risk their lives without hesitation ,
but the assassin was abroad at Dodge City
nnd a crack la a fence or an open window
nt night furnished an opportunity of which
be often took advantage. The only time I
over BOW Mastereon tremble was one night
vhon bo believed that an enemy was stand
ing In tbe dark outside a window4 waiting
for an ppportunlty to ehoot Into the roora.
Ono of the noted dcsperadora at Dodge was
Mysterious Dave Matlics , who was. by nature
n coward and who killed incut of his ene
mies by surprise or assassination. He was
called Mysterious Dave because of the
ulealthy manner In which he moved from
place to place , Mnthcs had a hatred for Mue-
terson ami resolved to kill him. Ho came to
Dodge from tbe Indian country ono day and
told his brother-in-law , a man named Brown ,
that he was there to put Masterson out of
tbe way. His plan was to bide behind a high
board fence at night and shoot Mastorson
us the latter was going from the gambling
bouses to the room where ho slept. Brown
told Mathca tbat be was tired of that kind
ot business and that if be did not leave town
at once ha would put Masterson on his guard ,
Mathes refused to go and Brown told Mae-
"I was sitting In my room one night writIng -
Ing Tin opinion In a case when Masterson
came In , as bo often did. The room was a
long one , and the single lamp that was
burning left port of the room in shadow ,
W nat talking , wben nuddsnly A bright
light ( limbed Into the room and suddenly
disappeared. Maitoreon sprang to hl feet ,
drew hi * pistol and stepped behind a brick
chimney that projected Into tbe room. When
I looked nt him ho wns trembling like a
loaf.
" 'Judge , do you know what that w 8j"
ho asked In a whisper. I told him that I
did not. 'That wn * the flash of a dark lan
tern thrown Into the room to Bee If I was
here , ' Bald he , 'and Matties In the mnn who
did It. '
"I Joked him and told him that I would
find out what It was , as I knew of no one ?
who -wanted ! to kill me. I went outdoor *
nnd made a careful search , but could find no
traces of any person's having been there.
The electric lights were burning brightly ,
nnd OA I turned to go Into the house I saw
a largo brass ring attached to a curtain In
the -window flash brightly. I went inside ,
called to Masterson , nd , turning the ring
until I struck the right angle , threw a
flash of light across the room. Masterson
waa chagrined , but said that ho had never
received a greater nervous shock in hl
life.
Thrilled lir Speech.
When the prohibition movement got un
der good headway In Kansas Dodge was ono
of the first towns upon which the temper
ance people descended. The tough clement
of the tcmn was In arms at once to resist
any attempt to change conditions. Many ex
citing scenes took place. It was during these
turbulent times that an event both ludicrous
and pathetic occurred. A. B. Campbell ,
known as one of the most eloquent and
brilliant temperance orators of Kansas , was
advertised to speak at Dodge , The mooting
was to take place in a church. Mastereon
and a number of his associates thought It
would be a good Joke to fill the church wltli
gamblers and disreputable women. The word
was passed , around , and on tbe night when
Campbell was to speak all the scats In tha
church were filled with men who wow
checked shirts , flash neckwear and big diamonds
mends , and by women with rouge on their
cheeks and paste JcTvels in their hair. The
temperance people had to stand up or sit
in the aisles.
"I had heard of Mastorson's plans , and
went quietly to Campbell and told' ' him about
thorn. Campbell smiled , but said nothing.
I had a seat that night on the platform.
It had probably been many years since most
of that crowd had heard a man of refinement
pcak. Campbell arose , gazed In a kindly
manner at the men and women before him ,
thanked theon for their courtesy In coming
tohear him speak upon a subject of vital
Interest to the community , and said that
while they would probably differ with him
In his opinions , yet such a thing shoulfl
not prevent their being friends. At this
many of the women tittered and the men
scraped their feet on the floor.
Campbell drifted easily and almost im
perceptibly Into his speech. He told a etory
about a little child and Its mother ; of how
the bnbo laughed on Ite mother's knee and
then clung to her skirts as It grew Into the
knowledge of a mother's love and protection.
The story was carried on and on In a mas
terly way. Campbell touched every chord
of human sentiment In describing the life ,
of the child as it grerw to maturity , strug
gling -with eln and sinking deeper nnd
deeper Into the pit of darkness. Through
1 all this gloom there TVOS one light that never
failed , one star tbat nerer dimmed , a
mother's love for her lost and wayward
child. He bad spoken only a few minutes
when I saw one ot the most notorious
women In the town furtively raise her hond-
i kercblef to her eye and iwlpe away a tear.
In a moment another woman began to eob
qulotly , and then another and another.
Soon all of them IWOTO crying aloud and
tbe men who , like the women , hod come
to scoff , sat gritting their teeth -while the
tears streamed down their cheeks. Camp
bell threw his whole soul into his words.
It was the greatest shaking up tbat bad
ever taken place among the sinners of
Dodge. It was the most pathetic scene I
ever witnessed in my life. In an hour
Campbell bad become tbe hero of tbe disso-
lue men and women of Dodge instead of
the sneered-at prohibitionist that he wa
when he arose to speak. There was noth
ing that those men and women would not
have done for him , except to depart from
the evil of tbelr ways. They swore that
no other temperance speaker should come
to Dodge , but that Campbell could come
whenever he liked and they would protect
nlm.
" .Masterson became the butt of many
jokes by his companions , who laughed at
ilm for leading them up against what they
called a brace game and then crying like a
baby when he got the worst of It. Master-
son denied with many oaths that he had
cried. Prom my seat on the platform , how
ever , I saw the tears running down his
cheeks. One day a crowd cornered Master-
son In my presence and said :
" 'Judge , we want to know whether Bat
actually cried the night that Campbell lec
tured In Dodge. Bat saya ho > didn't , but
wo b lleve ho did ; you saw him and we
want to know about it. '
" 'Well , Bat -will not deny tbat , ' I re
plied with a smllo.
"Mnstorson straightened up and said :
'Yes , you blankety-blank fools. I did cry ,
but what can a fellow do when a man tells
about your mother oo Campbell did ? ' "
IN ONE THEATER ALL HER LIFE
Dentil of Mm. Sarah Lane , a Unique
Figure lit London Theatrical
Life.
( Copyright , 1699 , by Press Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Aug. 20. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Mrs. Sarah
Lane , proprietress of the Britannia theater ,
Hoxton. In tbe heart , of the East' End of
London , has just died , aged 79. Bbe wns
a uulauo figure in Eugllsb theatrical life.
She was the oldest manaceress In London
and enjoyed tbo distinction of baying clung
to one tbeater all her life. She never sent
out a touring company , kept the bouse open
all tbe year round for sixty years and was
sole manager for over half a century. Her
theater was always run with a stock com
pany and she had no failures , every piece
running for the time she had mapped out ,
as , good or bad , it was witnessed as a mat
ter of duty by a vast proportion of tbe
East End population.
Airs. Lane was the daughter of a cab
proprietor. She bad received no education
nnd barely knew bow to read nnd write ,
but she had great organizing ability and
much business shrewdness. She was a born
show-woman , and her personal charm of
kindliness made her beloved by her patrons ,
who always spoke of her as tbe "Grand Old
Woman of the Brit. "
Sarah not her first cbance at tbe ace ol
17 by eagerly taking tbe part of an old
woman , which bad been scornfully rejected
by a member of tbe company in which she
was a "super. " Her leap to fame was
quick , bUt she never performed out of Hex
ton , and nothing could Induce ber to ac
cept parts in West End theaters , which
were at one time freely pressed on her.
When she got possession of tbe Britannia
it was a long wooden shanty whlcb tbe pre
ceding proprietor could not make pay be
cause people could not do their marketing
and attend a theater Saturday nights.
Sarah at once established provision stores at
the back of the theater , -which enabled the
audiences to combine marketing with pleas
ure In the intervals of the performance.
After many years of success she rebuilt tbe
theater , wbtcb is now a handsome and com
modious structure ; but she adhered to the
end to tbe speclea of dramas with which she i
began her career , wblcb were of the genuine 11
transpontine order , She always bad parts ,
written for her , nearly always boy's parts of
humor and pathos. Until 1875 she prayed
principal boy or girl In ber annual Christmas 1
pantomime and -went on taking special rolea 1
up to 1S90. Only three years ago sbe ap
peared RS a Spanish page with nndtmlntibed
sucoefl * .
Mrs. La < ! wa * prrtty , a good dancer , Tira-
elouB , an unstudied nctreci and freely In
terlarded her parts with current local gags ,
which were regarded as the belt features
of the performance by her admirers. Sbe
had one curious phvilcal defect , ber bones
were exceedingly brittle , and abe wns con
stantly breaking some of them , but these In
cidents left her spirit undlmmed. Sbe
always came up smiling In A short time.
Her funeral will be a great East End cele
bration. Her body Is to 116 In state on the
stage of tbe Britannia on Monday night.
The funeral procession , which promises to beef
of enormous dlmendona , starts from there
Tuesday morning for kenwil Green.
Countless stories of her good nature and
generosity are current In the neighborhood ,
which bos been thrown Into genuine gloom
by her death.

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
here of any kind to make any test of the
market , and of the few reported In the yards
a considerable proportion were cheap cattle
bought on the Kansas City market and
shipped direct to packers. With so few
cattle here buyers were Indifferent and
there IB nothing to say about It except that
there was really no market.
Receipts of cattle this week , as will be
noted from the table of receipts were a
little larger than for previous weeks
owing to the Increasing run of range cat
tle , but they were none too large to supply
the demand , which was good all the week.
Values , however , on most kinds of cattle
tended downward during the early part of
the week , though In some Instances there
was a little recovery near the close.
Prime cornfed steers are probably Just as
high as any time and buyers claim that
they would pay $6.00 for fancy beeves If
they were here. Aside from the best corn-
feds the market for the week could safely
be quoted 15@20c lower , and In extreme
cases some would say 23c lower. At the
eamo time grara beef steers are very high
and for the week have shown very little
change , possibly , they are a little lower.
The demand for1grass cattle at this point ,
owing to the very active competition be
tween the klllertf'and .feeder buyers , has
been of such a character as to keep prices
/up / , and It Is safe to say that this is by
long odds the highest market on that kind
of cattle in the -whole country.
Cow9 and heifers were In fair demand
during : the whole of the week , but the ten-
tiancy of the market was on the sWe of
a IHtle easier prlceo. The better kinds of
cows and heifers , which would be In
fluenced by the decline of cornfed steers , are
1015c lower for the ween. The medium
kinds are not so very much lower.
Good1 quality heavy feeders have been
active sellers alii the week and prices have
not shown much. If any , change. On the
other hand there has been a surplus of
common light cattle and yearlings and the
market on that kind is 15G25c lower than
last week.
HOGS The market opened this morning
6c higher on desirable kinds of hogs of all
weights and the trade was active at the
advance. The most of the arrivals changed
hands early In the morning , but big heavy
hogs were slow. Later on when Chicago
came lower the market at this point eased
off and closed a little weaker than It
opened. Common hogs , both rough heavy
ana sklppy light , sold down to J4.4004.47& ,
medium weight mixed loads sold largely at
$4.50 , light mixed at $ t.60@4.55 , good light at
$4.60@4.62V4 and choice light assorted hogs
at $4.70
Hogs this week have had both ups and
downe. The week opened with values
higher , but on Wednesday the market broke
sharply , which cut off the run. During
the last three days values steadily ad
vanced and at the close of the week the.
market Is at the highest point touched so
far this year. The highest point reached
by the market during 1898 was touched on
May 17 , when the average price wus $1.48 ,
and It will toe noted from the table of
average prices that there has toeon no time
during the month of August since 1895 when
hogs sold as high as at the present tfme.
The demand this week was good on all days
except when prices were lower and when
the heaviest packers were decidedly bearish.
SHEEP The market was bare of supplies
again today and there was nothing to make
any test of values.
During the first three days this week a
few sheep and lambs were received , but
since then the market has been bare. The
shutting off of the receipts was due to the
rule adopted by the government representa
tive that all sheep , even If Intended for
other markets , must be dipped. Shippers
accordingly have been going by this mar
ket , but , as noted below , the obnoxious rule
has been suspended , so that a larger run
Is anticipated for the coming week.
Owing to the starvation' receipts prices
at this point have been very high in com
parison to other markets , though there has
been a decline for the week amounting to
15 < SpC3c. It Is safe to say that a few loads
of good mutton sheep or lambs would sell
right up to Chicago prices , owing to the
good demand on the part of packers.
The report has gone out Into the country
that fat sheep brought In hero could not be
reshipped to another market without being
dipped. This is an error and this week In
structions arrived from Washington not to
require , clean sheep Intended for some other
market to bo dipped. This leaves the ruling
the same as it always was that Is , sheep
brought In here and sold to be taken back
Into the country and put on feed will have
to be dipped , < but none others.

I'rlocN OH Saturday.
CHICAGO , Aug. 19. Advances ot IV&c in
September corn and ? ; go in September
wheat were the features of today's
trading on the Board of Trade. In corn
email receipts and largo shipments drove
alarmed shorts to cover ; In wheat damag
ing rains In the northwest and ntrong for
eign markets had a similar effect. Oats
advanced W@ c for September and provi
sions closed unchanged to 2l/tc higher.
Wheat opened strong at an Improvement
of % c over yesterday's latest prices. The
advance had substantial backing. Foreign
markets showed sharp advances , Liverpool
being up % Q ? d , and London % @ ? id. Re
ports In regard to the Russian and Rou
manian crops were gloomy nnd probably
had considerable to do with the advances at
Liverpool and I/ondon. Domestic news was"
even more bullish In Its tone than the for
eign advices. Heavy and continued rains
were reported all over the northwest wheat
fields , and many complaint * of damage on
that score were received. The strength
shown 'by corn was also notable enough to
affect shorts In wheat. During the first
hour of the short session's trading the
market was quite active. September opened
at 72Vi@72y8C and at even that price there
was not much wheat offered. Shorts were
active bidders for everything offered nnd
the price got to 7272V4c before realizing
was sufficient to satisfy the demand.
A short reaction to 72c followed , but the
market quickly re-coverd and In the space
of the next half hour touched 72Hc. The
market then quieted down somewhat.
There was a good deal of selling against
weekly calls during the latter part of the
session and1 one or two slight reactions re
sulted therefrom , but fho market had too
much substantial support to admit of a
material decline , and shortly before the
close 72o was again touched. Primary re
ceipts were again much less than last year ,
the total being 537,000 bu. , against SOo.OOO bu.
a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 233
cars .against 228 ; last week and 435 a year
ago. Chicago receipts were 115 cars , 14 of
contract grade. Clearance * , however , were
small , 116,000 bu. Foreign bids for wheat
were renewed , but bids for shipment were ,
as a rule , out of line , and not much cash
business was done. Liberal world's ship
ments were looked for and some selling was
done on the apprehension that they would
unfavorably affect the Liverpool market
Monday , A decrease of about a million
bushels In the visible was looked for. Sep
tember reacted to 72tc , and closed firm at
that price. ,
Trading In corn was marked toy great
activity and strength in September. Con
tinued small receipts and heavy shipments
and decreasing stocks alarmed the large
short Interest In that option and resulted in
a rush for cover , which advanced the price
materially. Deferred futures advanced a
little 1n sympathy. Receipts were 298 cars
Stocks here this week will decrease about
500 000 bu The seaboard In two days has
sold 1,500,000 tou. for export. Country offerIngs -
Ings were email. September ranged from
31c to 32tfc , and closed IHc higher at 32 > 4c.
Oats were firm , with corn , September
showing the most strength. The advance
was In spite of large receipts , 608 cars.
Commission , houses were moderate buyers
and shorts covered to some extent. The
cash demand was moderately good. Septem
ber ranged from 20c to ' 'Oftc and closed
yt@ < c higher at 20V4c. , . „
Provisions were steady , but very dull ,
business being mostly changing over. The
cash demand for meats was fair , and this
and the strength of grain resulted In a
slight advance for most commodities. There
sales made early
was a little covering of
In the week. At the. close September pork

UNIFORM BANK CLEARINGS
Object of ihc Clcnrlnir Honnc Confer
ence Called to Meet In Cleve
land , O. , on September f > .
DETROIT. iMlch. , Aug. 20. Detroit mem
bers of the 'Michigan ' Bankers' association
state that there is a widespread misappre
hension among newspapers and financial
writers concerning the object of the confer
ence af clearing houses called for September
5 in Cleveland. Tbe conference was called
by the Michigan bankers because , as they
said , they were tired of waiting for others
to take tho'-initiative. The 'object is not to
antagonize New York or to use tbe ma-
ichlncry ot the National Banners' association ,
tbe conference being called at tbe same time
and place as a matter of convenience.
Preslden Hayes of the Preston National
bank of Detroit , explaining -the scheme ,
says :
"It is desired to bring all the clearing
houses together for conference , with the
hope tbat they will amend their constitutions
so as to give the same power to the , respec
tive-clearing house committees that the New
York and Detroit committees now have.
When the associations In the different cities
shall have taken similar action to that In
New York there will bo uniformity of charge
in each state to banks In tbat state , which
will permit the organization of state clearIng -
Ing bouse associations , which can never bo
established until par points are abolished.
When state clearing bouses are established
charges for collections can bo materially
lowered and In the end another reduction
can bo established by the national clearing
house. "
