Rams of this breed, when they are first
class, sometimes bring $500 to $500 even in
England. The Shropshire was produced
originally from cross in England of the
Cotswold and breed occupying a great
tract of land known as Morfe Common At
first the animals were black faced. had
heavy horns and heeces that weighed
about two pounds. They have been per-
sistently improved by British breeders till
now they are hornless, with gray or dark
spotted legs and faces, and apparently as
easily kept and tattened as their ancestors
OF Morfe Common.
The model Shropshire at present yields
a mutton carcass of from so to 100 pounds
at two years old, and a fleece that weighs
some seven pounds. The fleece is superior
to that of the famed Southdown. The
wool belongs TO the medium or short
length. 1t varies somewhat in length in
different specimens of the breed.
1t Is certain that this grand sheep is well
adapted to the cultivated farms of every
part of this country. But whether it can

tons of the coolest, ''blizzardest' states
ought TO take Shropshire in hand and test

Public Buildings in Small Cities.

WAsHINGToN CITY, Sept. l3-fSpecial i
1t is said here that some of the Farmers
Alliance people have been putting their
heads together to stop the erection of gov
eminent buildings in the important cities
at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. They are not exactly against the
public building enterprises, but they want
u more general distribution Of the con-
gressional allowances. Thus, instead of
spending hundred thousand dollars on q
single building they would make the same
amount provide for ten buildings in ten
different cities. This is about the same
plan that has for several years been
recommended by the postoffice de-
partment. 1t is argued that this
method will repress extravagant
appropriations. and will largely aid in the
proper transaction of the postal business.
Under the plan proposed the following
small cities of Washington would secure a
public building TO be devoted exclusively
10 postal and other government business:
Coltax, Dayton. Eilensburg, North Yak
INA, Olympia, Sprague and Vancouver. OF
course the immense volume of business
conducted IN such cities as Seattle could
not he accommodated in $1,000 o. $50 600
building, as, indeed, the proper site for
such structure could not he secured for
any such money. But. of course. the
Farmers Alliance people are not much
worried about the necessities of the laroa
cities.

THE VERA AVA CASE



CfxCrNxArr, O., Sept. 13.-''Fera Ava"
still remains the heroine of cunning
romantic episode. or the victim of cruel
outrage. Dr. Bonnell. of New York, who

asserts he Will know De Bar in any dis
guise, is expected TO arrive here tomorrow
to see whether the woman is or is not that
person. This morning the woman was
visited by committee from the W. c. T.
L. She led in prayer and afterwards
thrilled them with her eIoquence, taking
for her theme the condition of some
children that occupied cells in the house
Of detention. She asserts that she has
good reasons not TO make known her
friends in London. She says she
has right to expect help
out in denunciation of DR.. Bolton,
accusing him of ingratitude and untaith-

dress somewhat she exclaimed: This is

Los GATos, Cal. Sept. 13.-A dispatch
from st. Louis, printed this morning, says
the name of DR.. Rumford who is now in
this city, was found in a.scrapbook belong
ing TO Miss Ava. DR.. Rumford says he
first heard Of Miss Ava through a letter
from his friend, DIR. Fitzporter, who lived
near him in st. Louis. Fltzporter wrote
about two weeks ago that Miss Ava had
called and been given Rumford's card and
address. 1t is rumored here that Fitz-
porter has figured in the newspapers before
in connection with Miss Diss De Bar.
CHICAGO, Sept. BIT is learned that one
of the mysterious Miss Avas was young
woman who claimed to be Kate Cooley,
member of the wealthy Cooley family, of
Philadelphia. The alleged Miss Cooley
disappeared suddenly. There is consider
able speculation as to whether she was an
accOmplice or victim of Miss Ava, or
possibly had something to do With her
supposed assault upon the latter.
