Mrs. Sabria L. Soper, aged 81 years
Mrs. Soper was born In Vermont, aud 70,
IS years had been resident OF Minnesota
For sixtcea months, deceased had suffered
terribly from paralysis and u largo tu,nor ON
one Of her limbs. But she bore ali with
Christian fortitude, being a constant and dc.
voted member Of the baptist church, and
was fully prepared to meet her Savior.
The funeral services were preached by
Rev.. w. Martin, and the large number Of
friends who followed the remains OF deceased
To their last resting place, spoke louder than
words Of tho high esteem ia which she was
held.
Mrs. Soper leaves three children to mourn
her loss--one son and two daughters

bereavement.
She has gone To heaven before us,
But she turns and waves her hand,

Pine Horses.

| Mr.. j. II. Rhodes, of Little Falls
MIMI, left this week for hts Northern
home with another carload OF horses
purchased in this v,cinity-the second
within the past three months. We had
the pleasure of u look at his stock by
meandcring through b. ID. PAYS livery
stable on Tuesday.
From Geo. +. Case & Co., oil KasOta,
! importers and breeder Of PercherOn-
! Norman horses. Mr.. Rhodes purchased
span Of three. year-old mares, whose
combined weight bring the scales down
1T 2.48O. The animals are wh0ppers.
They are black, with heavy names and
tails. and breasts and limbs that would

Il team oi as fine build and handsome
appearance rs these colts, and the pur.
chaser paid good round piicc to secure
them
From Hiram Brown, OF Willow Creek,
Mr.. Rhodes secured n span OF large gray
gcldin.s, weighing 1900 pounds, and
these horses are also Of the Norman
stock. Judges Of equine flesh can cal
culatc about the size of II team of three.
year. olds that will weigh 1900 pounds,
and they are of perfect form, fair flesh,
and altogether handsome.
From G. Piper, of Garden City, Mr..
Rhodes purchased the heaviest team Of
the lot. They IRE common stock, but
of uncommon size, weighing 2,7O0
pounds. In good flesh, they would
easily add 200 pounds to their present
avoirdupois, which would render them
little less than elephants.
We also noticed three-year old mare
that Pay informed US weighed 1880
pounds, and We have every reason to
believe the animal would 80 fully that.
The above representations 20 to prove
conclusively that horse-fesh equal to
the best in the world for draft purposes
can be bred and raised in this country,
and if our farmers would give little at
tention to tins profitable business it
would add very materially to their divi-
dends at the end of the year. While We
are not at liberty to state just what the
horses above mentioned brought their
owners, We can say that when span of
three-year.olds, such az We have de.
scribed, will bring $500, there need be
no hesitancy for people to raise two or
three colts II year from first.class stock.

for every colt foaled that will develop

farmers follow the examples Of their

Mr.. Rhodes buys nothing but heavy
horses. ~ he uses them on the farm in
summer and sells them for Use in the

The TEMPORARY REDUCTION. - The
apprehension felt in some quarters
on account of a reduction of the force al
the railroad shops would not long exist
if the people affected were apprised of
the true state of the case. 1t is but a
temporary affair. 1t is proper to say
this much, that the road is not supplied
with anything near the amount of roll
ing stock that the present traffic de.
mands, to say nothing about its rapidly
increasing business. In consequence
of this temporary decrease of working
force the company will be compelled to
borrow rolling stock of other lines. The
Doth of the present month is the day
fixed for the called meeting of the stock
holders, when the proposed second
mortgage of $20,0OO,C00 will be author
lied. 1t has already been officially pub
lished that the proceeds of these $20,-
O00,0C0 of bonds will be amply sufficient
to pay off the floating debt and cover
all the other necessary expenditures OF
the company requiring to be met from
outside sources for some time to come.
1t will furnish the means to again put
the construction and repair shops in
motion. which will probably be done
on larger scale than heretofore. There
are measures of great moment on foot
affecting New Tacoma. and they will be
carried to consummation. 1t may be
profitable to abide awhile before acting
upon contrary assumption. The Led
9e, regards it as entirely safe to venture
the statement that before the spring Is
fairly opened, values here will have en-
haneed to such an exteut as to put the
present fears of few timid people to
the laugh, and open up glimpse which
as yet we have not had of the great
prospect and future of this CITY
Ledger.
