Charles F. Martin, of the National Live
Stock association, has issued the call for
the fourth auuual convention to meet at
Assembly hall, in this city, on Jan. 25,
1901, at ten o'clock a. m. The represen
tation will be the same as that of the
convention held at Fort Worth last year,

made to admit individual breeders to
membership. The questions that will
come up for discussion cover a wide
scope and are of the greatest importance
to all branches oL' the live stock iu dustry.
The number of papers will be reduced
and more time devoted to discussions

Big Kew.irü lor Murderer.
13. J. Elliott, chief of the provincial
police, of Winne peg, Manitoba, is send
ing to Montana officers circulars offering
a reward of $1,000 for the capture of
Walter Gordon, who is wanted to answer
to tiie charge of murder.
This reward will be paid by the Mani
toba government for the arrest and de
tention of Gordon.
Tne printed circulars offering the re
ward for Gordon state that ho left
Whitewater, Manitoba, Canada, Sunday,
Septeuibei'iiO, 1900. Ho had with him
an olive colored Gladstone bag,22 inches
long, grained leather, containing toilet
«et, a dark brown satchel about 30 inches
long, also a new square top tin trunk.
From his conversation it is supposed
his destination was Colorado, Nebraska,
Montana or New Mexico. By reason of
his having worked in mining camps in
Now Mexico he is likely to seek similar
employment.—Helena Hearid.
How to Cure Croup.
Mr. R. Gray,, who lives near Amenia,
Douchess county, N. Y., says: '"Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine I have ever used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fails to cura." When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or oven after
the croupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should be
borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept at hand ready for instant
use as soon as these symptoms appear.

Tne National Irrigation Congress.
The following resolutions wore adopt
ed by the National Irrigation Congress
at Chicago November 24,1900:
"We hail with satisfaction the fact
that both of the great political parties
of the nation in the last campaign de
clared in favor of the reclamation of arid
America, in order that settles might
build homes on the public domain, and
, to that end we urge upon Congress that
national appropriations commensurate
with the magnitude of the problem
should be made for the preservation of
the forests and the reforestation of de
nuded areas as natural storage reservoirs
and for the construction by the National
Government as part of its policy of in
ternal improvement of storage reservoirs
and other »orks for flood protection and
to save for use in aid of navigation and
irrigation the wateis which now ruu to
waste and for the development of arte
sian and subterranean sources of water
supply.
"The waters of all streams should for
ever remain subject to public control
and the right of the use of water for ir
rigation should inhere in tho land irriga
ted, and beneficial use of the basis of
measure and the limit of the right.
"The work of building the reservoirs
necessary to store the floods should be
done directly by the goverment under
existing statutes relating to the employ
ment of labor hours of work and under
laws that will give to all American citi
zens a free and equal opportunity to get
first employment, and then a home on
the land.
"We commend the efficient work of
the various bureaus of the national gov
ern ment in the investigation of the phy
sical a ud legal problems and other con
ditions relating to irrigation and in pro
moting tho adoption of more effective
laws, customs and methods of irrigated
agriculture, and urge upon Congress the
necessity of providing liberal appropria
lions for this important work.

His Best Fee.
Senator Davis laughingly told me of
the best fee^ho ever earned and the queer
wa y in which he earned it and mado his
client pay it. j
"1 had a case, said the senator, in
which 1 secured judgment for ©1,0(XJ,000
against a man, and he was good for it. j
There did not seem to be anything for
him to do but to pay. But it chanced
that I was released from the plaintiff's
service and was brought in on tne 6>de of
the defendant. I carried his case, My
own case, as it were, to tho appellate
co„rt,knocked §>250,OOOoff that judgment j
which I had been at so much trouble ;
to secure against him, and fixed ft so j
that 3750.000 could never get into court |
again. This was pretty sharp work, and
naturally my client was delighted. He
came around to 6ee me with his face
wreathed in smiles.
"Splendid, splendid,' he exclaimed'
'and what is your fee?' I'll give you a
check for it right now.'
"Fifty thousand dollars,' said I.
"Fifty th—what?' he exclaimed, nearly
jumping from his chair.
"Fifly thousand dollars,' sai'i I, 'and
you may consider yourself lucky I did
not make it a hundred thousand.'
" 'I'll never pay it; I'll never pay it 1 ' j
!
said my client. 'It's an outrageous bill.
Fifty thousand dollars for three or four
months' work, and heaven ouly knows
how many other fees )ou have had in
tho same time, not saying anything
äbout the S>2D,0J0 yon got for getting the
judgment against ine in the first place.
"See here, my friend,' I exclaimed,
getting a bit warmed up, 'let me tell you
something. For thirty years I have been

another word I'll make it 8100,000, and
if you kick on that I'll make it $150,000,
and you'll pay it, too.'
"He did pay it," concluded the sena
tor, with a chuckle, "for he gave me a

A Poker I>eeision.
New York, N«>v. 30.—A new poker de
cision was made in the supreme court
today by J ustices Beekman, Giegerich
and O Gorman, which lovers Oi the na
tional game will receive with satisfac-,
.
The case was brought to court by
Joseph Jacoby, who sought to recover
£92 loaned to Charles Heidelburg dur
ing a poker game, and which the latter
refused to pay. Jacoby was a winner
when he loaned the money, and this was
a fatal mistake, according to the learned
judges. Here is their decision:
•'The principle is now well settled with
respect to gambling contracts that where
a loss ia already incurred, anv person,
. , ,
other than the winner, who advances
money or other property to the loser to
enable him to pay the losses, may re
cover such advance, but the plaintiff in
this case is in no position to invoke the
benefit < f this rule. He was the person
direotly connected with the transaction.
He was the only winner in the game,
and there is no authority going to the
ex tent of permitting a winuer to recover
f rotll a loser, no matter what form tho
j takes "

whose narrow minded jealouies and sel

terially with the growth of the colony.
Their perverted ideas of meumand tuum
have already caused no little deal of
trouble. It all came about in this way.

thought of the matter and tne travellers
went quietly on their way. But there
