SELLING OLD HORSES.
Sixteen Overworked City steeds Disposed
of Yesterday.

Sixteen worn-out horses of the Department
Of Public Safety were sold at public auction at
the department storehouse on Wylie avenue
yesterday afternoon. The animals brought
81. .C81 so. Some Of them have been in active
service in the Fire Department for many years
and others were patrol wagon horses, used ever
since that system was adopted.
Each year a sale of the departments worn
out horses is made. The hard usage horses
receive in the police and fire service wears
them out quicker than ordinary work, and it
usually happens that horse sold as unfit for
further service in the department will do well
for years when used for ordinary work. The
city's veterinary surgeon makes an inspection
of the animals in the city service once year,
and on his Recommendation and Q certificate
issued by HIM snch horses as are not in condi-
tion to stand another years wear are adver.
tised for ten days and sold at public auction.
At yesterdays sale there were 160 people
present and the bidding was spirited and lively.
There are yet enough horses to run the Police
and Fire Departments. but ten Of the horses
sold will be replaced during the next three or
four months by new ones.

KANSAS WHEAT ALL RIGHT.
Small Damage In Spots, but General Crop
Prospects Never Better.

ATCH1soN. KAN, May III. W. Orr. As
sistant General Attorney of the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad, who has travelled extensively
this week in the western part of Kansas and
Nebraska, says that there is more talk than
truth in the reports of damaged wheat. He
says that the prospects were never better, and
the farmers never more hopeful.
Here and there the Hessian fly Is working,
but doing very little damage. Occasionally
there are spots of yellow wheat in drains or
other low places where water has stood and
killed the plant but these places are an incon-
siderable part Of the vast area Of the country
that is planted in wheat, and with seasonable
weather until harvest time, the yield will be
unprecedented in the history of the two States.

The Cnvei1ng of Jeckson's Statue

| The dwelling of JecEson's Statue.
This will be an eventful day in Lexing>
ton. Va A statue of Gen. "StonewalT'
Jackson will be unveiled. 1t is of heroic
size aud is by Edward V. Valentine of
Richmond Va.
Those who have seen it speak of it as
very impressive memorial-one worthy of
jackson. The likeness is thought by those
who knew jackson well to be excellent,
and the modelling aud details add to the
scuiptors' reputation.
The money for the statue was collected
by the jackson Monument Association.
The association was formed Immediately
after the Lee Monument Association had
finished the work of erecting a monument
to the me nory of Gen. Lee.
There will be an immense gathering in
Lexington to-day. Thousands of Jackson's
veterans will be there and also thousands Of
other confederate veterans In the hearts
of all there viii be feeling Of profound re-
spect for the memory of 'Stouewall" Jack
sou. He was a great man and q good one.
In some respects he was the greatest soldier
the civil war produced. His fame will be
more more enduring than his monument. 1t
seems to grow with time. That is because
it is genuine.
