How He Compelled an tCnglisb. Lord to Evacuate His Room. From the Miles City Journal. Information ns yesterday from a passenger who came in 011 the train, who was eye-witness to almost a bloodv struggle between a. IJillmgscattle-inan and an English lord, at the Queen's hotel, Winnipeg, a few days ago.

The eftttle-man, who had just sold a tram load of cattle in Chicago at a hiuh market price, concluded that he would. In company with his family, visit the noted city across the boundaiy line. Arriving at that place be put up at the hotel, and during the evening took his familv to a. place of amusement. In the meantime the titled man from across the Atlantic called at the oflice of the hotel for quarters.

Every room in the. house was occupied, but the clerk found a room for his English guest, or at least he thought he had. and consequently removed several lariats, a six-shooter, chaps, and valises belonaing to the Billings man from the room which he had engaged, and the English lord retired, not dreaming that in a lew moments he ould be roused from his peaceful tluuiber at the point of a Colt's six-shooter. Such, however, was the case. The room was called for, and the reply from the clerk was "It's occupied by an English lord." "The devil you say!" was the cool answer Ironi the nobie Montana man.

"You see," says the clerk, "we always in this country make room for an Englishman In preference to any Americans, and a cot in the hallway ought to suit means are limited." Limited be was tiie reply; "I've got enough cash here in my weasel skin to buy ail the hotels in this town, and besides have ten thousand head of cattle ranging in the Judith country of Montana," and away he went to bring forth the man who had taken possession of his room. The panels of the door were broken with the Dutt of the six-shooter, and the cry of 'murder" attracted the attention of the police and made a geueral stampede among the guests of the house. The herd of guests were corraied by the cattle kinir. who 817, 819, 821 N. Fifth Street, Between Franklin Avenue and Union Market.

discussing the hard luck they had experienced at their summer resorts during the season. They all frankly admitted they had come out behind, with the exception of one man, who waited until Hie rest had finished, and then put in a claim -of having made money. "In that little picayune place of that place down on the island?" exclaimed one. "Right there, gentlemen," replied the successful man, calmly. "You mean to say you made money over and above jour expenses?" demanded another.

"Didn't have any expenses and I made money." "How?" observed the crowd. "I only had one guest, and I've got him yet," answered the man who knew how. lie's down at ray Dlace, and I'm still making money out of him. He was a rich man. and I induced him to come down and see the place.

As soon as I got him there I locked him in the cellar and fed him through a knothole in the door; stuck in the stem of a clay pipe and poured soup in the bowl while he sucked it out of the stem. Charged liim twenty dollars a day, and when I closed for the season I left one of the servants to feed mm, and I'm to keep that up as long as his money holds out or be dies, and then I'll put iff a bill against the estate." And the unsuccessful ones stood off and admired his genius, while the calm man stood apart and waited for some one to set 'em up, as the rich always do when the poor are around. Knowledge vs. Pedantry. St.

Louis, October 13, 1883. To the Editor or the Post-iJispateh When the question of dropping spelling from the list of studies pursued at school is once fairly before the public, one of the most powerful Arguments In favor of tho change will doubtless be the fact hotso much time is consumed in teaching this stupid nonsense. In this city children conrTnue at school on the1 average, I believe, about three years. That a large part this time too short to give them anything but a mere smattering of what every boy and. girl ought to be' taught should be frittered away in teaching them simply Jjow to conform to a ridiculous fashion is bad enough, but it is not all.

To the time wasted at school in tyinst to master this dreary pedantry must be added the enormous argreaate of time necessarily spent in afterlife by every one that wishes to conform to the prevailing; f.ishion in spelling. Xot. only is it necessary to refresh oue's memory continually a to the confused ana chaotic soeilini; of familiar words, nut from the fact there is no established connection between spelling and pronunciation it is necessary to refer to the dictionary for the of everv unfamiliar word one meets hi rending. There are fvo facts that should be kept In mind In this discussion. One is that in the English language the spelling is so misleading that it is never to be depended on as a guide to the pronunciation of words.

One can only gties, with a strong probability of guessing wronfr, how to pronounce a new word one sees in print, and, as one who reads much meets a larue number of such words, the amount of time needlessly spent in turning the pages of the dictionary is very zreat. "eeclessly, I say, and that Urines me to the second point. There is no good reason why spelling should not be, excepting accent, a perfect guide to pronunciation. The nu-i ber of distinct sounds in the language is known, and they are not so numerous as to make it impracticable to assign a separate and distinct character to each sound and to express a given sound invariably by the same character, audi a reform Is perfectly feasible. It Is not only perfectly feasible.

but to one who is able to divest himself of the superstitious reverence for the prevailing fashion of spell-ins result of the infinite to teach at school), and to look at the matter from the standpoint of common sense, it Is simply astounding that the reform is not alreadylan accomplished fact. But we have never looked at tne matter from the standpoint of common sense. Authority, custom, tradition, the ex mule of great names, printed books, pedantry, hiziness, stupidity, tne capital invested in the publishing trade these, and not common sense, are what have perpetuated so long the contemptible tyranny of the prevailing fashion of SDcliiug. If we were free to choose in the matter the present fashion would stand no chance whatever in competition with a rational, common sense system of spelling, with a letter for each sound, and a given sound represented luvarlably by the same letter. Indeed it Is no exaggeration to say that nobody but an idiot or a lunatic would projiose such a system as the present.

That a large portion of the time of every child at school should be put to the ignoble use of perpetuating a senseless and despicable tyrrany. unworthy of a civilized leople, is a fact perfectly In harmony with the spirit of the ages ot intellectual slavery, but not at all with the spirit of an age of intellectual emancipation.

TIi a decision of tlie Court of Arpeals yesterday afflrmius the judgment pronounced in the First DistrictlPolice Court against the St. Louis Railroad Company, fining that corporation S500 for neglecting to make the quarterly reports to the City Register ordered by the city ordinances, was a genuine surprise to the street railways. It has been generally supposed that the decision of the Court of Criminal Correction would be practically final in the premises. Theordinanceuuder which tha fine was levied irnviies that each railway shall return to the Citv Register a quarterly statement of the number of passengers carried and the nninber of trips made, tinder a penalty of a 50u line. And further, that the Register shall examine the return, and it appear that any road has carried more than eighteen passengers on any one trip the Register shall lay information of that fact before a Justice of one of the Police Cou'-ts of St.

Louis, and a line of from $300 to So'M shall be exacted. A repo; ter sought Mr. Berg and found from him that the last report made by any street lailroad was in November, when the and the South St. Louis roads reported their carryings for the three months ending September 30th, 1881. These the onlv roads that were re -Juried, and these were the oulv reports that thev ever made.

Mr. Berg stated that after the judgment of the Court of Criminal Correction reversing the fine imposed, he haa not called for the report, but that he intended taking legal advice upon the Mtuaiiou to-day, and seeing in what shape the Appeals Court decision left his duties. The two reDorts filed showed that during the three months named the Bentou-Bellefontaine Koad carried 527,383 passengers in trips, and the St. l.uis carried 310,770 passngeia; trips not given. WHAT THE FIFTH STlfKET ROAD MUST PAY.

THE TAXE9. Under the law as at present administered the railroads pay a venicie license of $25 upon each car, ami besides that tne same percentage upon their realty and personalty. This vehicle license amounts $VV225 on I trie roads.

Several attempts have been made to find out what volume of business the roads were doing, in cruer that the value of the franchise given away might be ascertained, but so far these efforts nave been successfully resisted by the companies.

It is very clear in ruling tnat the city charter overrides the different franchises, and that the Council can control them bv ordinance." "What will be the immediate effect of the decision?"

The deceased was the senior member of the firm of Stratmann Meyer, livery stable keepers, whose place of business is at4 qeo South Second street The firm has been in existence some fifteen years andJias made money until recently, when there was a falling off in the receipts. This fact made Stratman very Respondent and he became morose and irritable. These feelings became intensified of late, because of the purchase of a lot of ground on Catalpa street near4 Ninth street for $7,000, which at first appeared to be a good investment, but after its purchase Stratmann to be a verv poor cue. He regretted that he had bought the lot and complained bitterly of the ill luck that was pursuing him.

He had a bank account of $15,000 clear, and he was in constant apprehension that that, too, would be lost in some way or other. Stratman was a bachelor and lodged in a room 'over the stables. This morning at 4:30 o'clock one of the stablemeu, Cari Iteiauerie, entered the stable, and in moving forward encountered a suspended body, which, on examination, proved to be that of Stratmann. Jiindfrle gave an alarm; the body was cut down and looked at. The deceased had hung himself to a beam just a few steps away from the entrance to the stable.

The body was cold when found, btratmann's estate is worth at least which wiil go to his next of kiu in Germany. A SIMILAlt case.

PET DOG FASHIONS. Reception Costumes for Terriers and Carnage Oresses for Pugs. From the New Yorlc Mornuig Journal.

Do you know." said a little gi ri to a Journal reporter, "tnat I have eight costumes for my httie terrier Phiunie, ana he looks real pretty in all of them?" Vhy. what in the world do yon want with so many and what do you mean by costumes for a dog?" asked the astonished reporter. "Every girl that has dog has costumes for them," said the little girl in an injured tone, "and costume means dress. 1 thought you were big enoueh know that." "Oil," said the reporter; "won't you de-sscribe the costumes to me?" "Certainly," said the little girl. "His best one for Sunday atternooilUwalks is made of navy-blue broadcloth, lined with scarlet satin, with straps of alligator skin and bows of crimson Ottoman ribbon you know he wears a bow on his tail and a collarette bangle of silver, with new five-cent piece charms.

On some of them are his name, on others a prayer or hymn. Then if it.is nice and clean out I tie bows of scarlet ribbon on his front paws, but he isn't exactly trained good and he bites them. Well, then he has his reception costume that he wears on mamma's reception days, when he and I sit in the drawing-room and help to receive the guests. That is perfectly lovely. It is made out of a piece of :r.y sister's wedding dress, cream-white satin, and is lined with pale-blue silk.

"There's a young lady across the way who has a sealskin wrap for her spanieL and 1 know another one that has a diamond collar." "Oh, I forgot to ask does your dog paint and powder?" said the journalist. "Well, 1 never said the little girl. In accents of astonishment.

NEW MORMONS. How the Saints of the "Wild West are Hauling in the Sinners of the South. From the Chattanooea Times. M. W.

Haws, the Mormon elder who is stationed in this city to look after the business of the Mormon Church throughout the entire South, Chattanooga being the only headquarters, was interviewed by a Times reporter yesterday. In answer to a question as to how tne elders scattered throughout were sueeeedinz in their proselyting work, Mr. Haws stated that they had never been more successful. They have been decidedly more successful in Northern Mississippi than elsewhere. Some of the best people have been converted by their efforts, and have given them all assistance possible.

InNnrth Georgia and lower Virginia they have been doing equally as well. The percentage of converts wilt be much heavier this year than last. This he accounts for by the fact that more elders are out this year than last, and the people who heretofore scorned the doctrine and the men who promulaated it have now lent a willing ear to the teachings of the missionaries. There were about 700 in the party wno left this city last fall for Utah, but this year it will be safe to estimate the number at nearly 1,000. Of course a great many are not in a condition to leave their Southern home3 now, but numbers of them will go next sprinsr.

The total number converted this year will be about 2,000. The converts will meet in Chattanooga about the 10th or 15th November, and will then proceed to their homes among the Mormons in Utah. Mr. Haws speaks with no little degree of satisfaction concerning their work in the South, and predicts that it will be two-fold next year. EAST ST.

Jake Steiner, who keeps a saloon in the suburbs, became acquaiuted with a man named Quemcr, who claimed to be a cowboy desirous of reforming and buying a saloon near East St.

Steiner was desirous of parting with his business and treated his prospective successor in his business to the best eating and drinking the house afforded until both became good and gloriously drunk. Some one then informed Steiner his guest was a fraud, which so enraged him tnat he demanded pay for the entertainment furnished. Querner naturally objected and a rigut, which lasted half an hour, ensued. Both parties were ternblv punished nd bruised about the head and face beycad recognition.
