A New York policeman says "The best protection a young wo- man can have in this city is one ot those little silver crosses that the Kings Daughters wear. I've noticed nowadays that the professional masher will look first at the bosom of a woman's dress, and if that lit tie silver cross is dangling from a button hole he passed her by with out even a stare. It's the sameway on the street cars as on the street. The young woman who wears one of these badges has got the whole carload of men to take care of her and jump on the fellow that dares to annoy her. The cross is getting to be locked on with the same re spect and deference as a nuns garh As a safeguard it beats the average policeman all hollow"

The Lcrdsburg Liberal says there has been heavy cleaning out of conductors on the road between Yuma and Fl Paso during the last week and it is said there are seven men looking for a new job. The causes are various, some being so color-blind they could not tell the difference between their own money and that which belonged to the company; others smoked on a pas senger train while on duty, and oth, CTS did not do their work to suit the company. Take it all in all it is the most severe bouncing up the service has seen in some years.

 It also seems probable to the writer that the immense amount of trictional electricity generated by the eoncussions and the mingling of the opposing currents of air may have considerable influence in the formation of storm centres by pro- ducing polarized condition of the earth and air, and so creating a magnetic field which may assistin gathering and so condensing the moisture of the surrounding atmos- phere.

LATE Chicago cattle reports say |: Receipts for the whole week 16,OOO head. The light receipts have caused a slight reaction and we quote prices 10 to 15c. higher than one week ago. There is and has been a large supply of western COWS and heifers and low grade steers coming forward, as we'll as native COWS, that have held down pricee on Texans. For western range cat tie the market for best grades has ruled weak to lower. The best grades are bought by live cattle shippers as we'll as killers, while all other grades have to be sold to kill CTS and feeders. Therefore we ad- wise the shipment of best grades only, and holding back until later in the season, or until colder wealth CT for the rough coarse grades. We think light young steer cattle should be left on the range altogether
 Ranchmen cannot replace nice three year olds when they have to be sold on this market at 31c and under.

THE Massachusetts democra

THE Massachusetts democrats are so confident of the righteous ness of their cause that they are seeking the enemy for close grap- ple. Gov Russel and his associates are eager to discuss all the issues of the campaign and the people are as eager to listen to them. It was by full and free discussion that Gov. Russell won year ago, and there is no state in the union in which the democratic cause would not be helped by following the ad' mirable example set in the old Bay State. The republicans arc they who find profit in running away from discussion and who wish to prevent the revival of the memory of the frty-frst congress.-The 1 World.

GENERAL DYRENFoRTH, in the North American Review for Octo- Der, discusses the question, Gan we make it rain?" In referring to the experiments made, the writer says it is clearly demonstrated:
 First, That the concussions from explosion exert a marked and prac- tical effect upon the atmospheric conditions in producing or occa- sioning rainfall. probably by dis turbing the upper currents.
 Second, That when the atmos- phere is in "threatening" eondi- tion-which is frequently the case in most arid regions without any rain resulting-rain can be caused to fall almost immediately by jar ring together the particles of mols- ture which hang in suspension in the air. This result was repeatedly effected during our operations, the drops sometimes commencing to

WE clip the following dispatch dated Denver, Sept, 30th, from the Salt Lake Herald The Grand Gen. tral mine at Kingston, N. M., was sold in this city tonight, by the owner, Thomas O'Neal, to an Eng fish syndicate for S1,000,000 cash. It is a big low grade property run ming fifteen to twenty ounces of sil- yer per ton and 20 per cent lead. It is impossible to give clear titles to property in that locality, so a nine ty-nine year lease was given, which i, practically a sale. The syndicate will build sixteen mile narrow gauge road from Lake Valley to the mine to handle the ore. O'Neal goes to London Saturday to dis pose of two more mines located in the State of Durango, Mex. The Ayenir, which has produced SI0,- 100000 worth of silver, and the oth- CT which has $200,00O worth of ore in sight, each one at 9400,O00. MT, O'Neal has sold many New MeXi- can mines to St, Louis parties in the past ten years, and is widely known throughout the mining world.
 It affords us great pleasure to re- produce the above, not only be- cause of our friendly feeling toward NIT. O'Neal himself, but because ol the relationship existing between him and the family of Judge Me Donald, he having married the Judges daughter, and hope he may be equally successful in his trip tc London.
