The Owner of Maud $. Buys the Phenom-
email fiiiy SunOl.
81 have purchased Sunol, and paid the
highest price for her that | ever paid for any
horse.r Mr.. Robert Bonner said these words
at his house recently. Sunol, ut San Fran
cisco on Saturday, trotted mile in 2:l0h,
thus displacing Axtel as the greatest 3-year-
old trotter in the world, and making her the
third fastest trotting horse alive. Mr.. Bon
ner already owns the queen Of the turf,
Maud S., for whom he paid the late William
II. Vanderbilt $4,000. Mr.. Bonner's pur-
chase has an added importance from the fact
that Il was made prior to the great perform
ance OF Sunol on Saturday.
Bonner said: IL don't want TO say just how
much paid for Sunol, but will say this: |
paid more for the horse than / ever paid for
any horse, and paid $4,000 TO Mr.. Wander
bilt for Maud s., So, 900 TO Mr.. Fawcett for
Dexter, S35 900 to Mr.. Simmons for Poca-
hontas, and $4,000 to Mr.. Conkling for
Rarus. Perhaps you may judge from this
what paid for the horse, but this is ny detin-
ite as care to put the matter" Mr.. Bonner
sent check TO Gov. Sanford to-day for the
purchase price of Sunol, and there IS some
reason to believe that the amount of 1t was
pretty close TO $4,000.

NOVEMBER CROP REPORTS.
oficial Returns to the Department of Ag'
riculture.

Official Returns to the Department OF Ag-
riculture.
The official returns OF November to the de
partment OF agriculture relate to yield per
acre and quality. They make the rate OF
production Of corn a full average, slightly
above 26h bushels per acre, and the quality
medium, relatively low on the Atlantic coast
from New York southwark, and high west
Of the Mississippi. The returns Of potatoes
make the average yield 70 bushels per acre.
The general average for tobacco Of all kinds
is 645 pounds per acre. The best corn Is in
the Missouri valley, Ms well as the highest
Yields. The saturating rains Of the coast
region, with insufficient Sunshine, have left
the corn soft and chatfy. The corn in high
lands, and especially of well cultivated, is of
better quality. The reduction Of quality over
large districts will induce rapid consumption
and limit stocks reserved for spring use. In
the region of commercial corn the quality is
generally good. The Irish potato crop Is
poor in Yield and quality In the eastern and
middle states. The western states report
better results. The Rocky mountain yields
are less than was expected, and the quality
scarcely medium in a large portion of the
breadth. The New York crop is estimated
at only Sc bushels per acre. The Michigan
average is rs bushels per acre.

HORRORS OF THE BLIZZARD.
Renorts of Suferings Not Exaggerated

REPORTS of Sufferings Not Exaggerated
Railroads still Blockaded.
Various parties who spent 10 days in the
snow blockade between Emery Gap and Fol-
som, n. NJ. report the suffering to man and
animal fully as great as shown IN former
reports. Seventy-ive men shovelling snow
at Mt. Doran were cut off from food for two
DAYS and nights. They got some sheep out
of the snowdrifts and roasted and ate them.
A delayed passenger train was cut off from
the eating stations three days. They drew
on the express company for food supplies.
The laborers who shovelled snow, when hun
CRY, tapped the freight cars. Two live goats
were being shipped in a caboose, but the hum
gry men cut their Threats and ate them raw.
A sheep grower near Ute Creek, a Mr.. Garcia,
is reported to have lost 5000 sheep from
flock of 5000. The road was opened with
rotary snowploughs, but remained onlyt a
few hours. The mornings snow and wind
blocked the cuts again, and the passenger
train due from the south in the forenoon
became stuck in the snow. Altogether the
blizzard has been a terrific one.

Change the water frequently, keeping it

After the bitter flavor is gone, put the
