WOMAN RIDING MASTER.
She Illustrates Her TeachIr Is by Her Owl
Zine Performances.

Fine Performances.
London has woman riding master,
Mrs. Hayes, who insists, notwith-
standing the traditional supremacy of
the English woman's horsemanship,
that YOU rarely see an English woman
sitting gracefully and firmly in her
saddle, and that French women are
really the more graceful equestriennes.
Mrs Hayes teaches in a modest boyish
costume without skirt, and takes
five-fOot gate ON her lively charger
without holding her reins at all Her
theory is that a riding master can not
teach a woman to set well on n side
saddle because he doesn't know how
himself except theoretically. She is
taught to rely first and foremost on her
reins, when it is not her reins at all
that save her when her horse shes or
falls. The reins should never be given
20 the pupil at all until she is perfectly
secure in ner seat, and has learned that
it is the grip on the crutches of the sad
die By the muscle of the knees and
ankles that gives her the firm seat
The reins are simply to guide the horse.
The stirrup should be shortened until
the knee presses firmly against the
leaping head. 1t is to teach the posi-
ton of the legs that Mrs. Hayes rides
in the boys dress, and when a woman
learns to use these members properly,
Mrs. Hayes claims that her seat is more
natural. more graceful and more secure
than if she rode astride. This lady
riding master is a daring rider, ac-
cepting most vicious mounts with fear
lessuess. and stopping short of moth
ing, not even a zebra, in her expert
mentS
On one occasion when they brought
her wild zebra from the mcnagrrie in
a cage. she tanned the creature IL two
lessons SO that he was sufficiently sub
dued to stand, with her on his back,
while the pair were photOSraphed.-N.

Women Figure Prominently rs Teachers
In All Departments.
A Chicago schCol-tsacher wrote to the
Nation, complaining that so many of
the teachers and principals OF the Chi
caco public schools are women. He
conceded the fitness OF women to teach
"six-year-olds how to spell cat" but
that large schools of a thousand or
more pupils should not be managed by
women entirely, many of whom he pro-
nounced elderly, nervous, and desti-
tute of broad ideas" and he thought
this accounted for the small proportion
OF boys remaining in the schools until
completing the course. A reply to this
letter brings out the following facts:
Chicago has 106 grammar school prin-
cipnls; II are women. 65 are men. From
those schools in charge of what ''E. L.

broad ideas, working for small pay and
small appreciation (save in their own
inner conscience), IS per cent. Of the

The u largest grammar schools of Chi
caCo have an attendance of 1880 pupils
and upward; six OF these have man at
helm, s. l-2 per cent of whose gradu-
ates were boys, while the other six,
towed along by these same old women,
enfeebled bodies and uncultured minds,
graduated classes OF which - per cent

boys than girls completed the course;
six of these were in charge of women,
four of men. The school which gradu-
ated the largest percentage of boys, go

1t is rumored that glossy hair is to
become the fashion, and that the sheeny
locks seen upon the heads of our grand
mothers are coming in again with the
adoption of silk nightcaps. These caps.
it IS claimed, absorb the perspiration
that weaken the roots of the hair and
protect the head from draughts and
chills that make the hair come out.
The cap is, however, by no means the
only agent in making the hair soft and
shining. Constant brushing has quite
as much to do with it. as well as keep
ing the scalp clean by an occasional
washing with CASTLE soap and soft
water or the white of an egg. One of
the best hair tonics is made from rum
and quinine. The object of brushing
the hair is not only to stimulate the
scalp and keep it free from daudruff,
but to keep it free from every particle
of dust its entire length. For the lat
ter purpose a brush with closely set
bristles is necessary. Y. Sun.

PEORIA Is GROWING.

A representative OF this paper made
visit to Peoria Tuesday and found
that camp very lively Notwithstanding
the close times. New strikes are OF
almost daily occurrence and people
continue 10 flock in from all directions.
New buildings are going up OIL every
hand and the camp presents all air OF
thrift and enterprise. The Peoria
Mining. Land and Construction COM
pany is putting up several dwelling
houses for rent which have already
been spoken tor. Peoria now has
four grocery shores, two meat mar
kets. one ice cream parlor, two good
hotels, two restaurants, two or three
boarding houses, a twO-chair barber
shop aud a confectionery stand. Dry
goods are Kept by two of the grocers.
The coal strike does not materially
affect the mines Mt Peoria. There is
an abundance of wood there which is
used for fuel.
Peoria is gradually surging to the
front and the day is not far distant
when it will be one of the best mining
camps in the Southwest.

AN rNnLAsEp Opinion.

In conversation with Ex-Governor
Crawford recently he said that he
thinks Cherokee county Is the best
county in the state aud Baxter Springs
one Of the best towns. He said he had
looked the country over and found
that Baxter Springs and Cherokee
county were what he was looking for,
He has shown his confidence in this
section by making some large invest
ments in farm property. Governor
Crawford says land is the best invest
ment these days aud that is, why he ia
getting hold of so much of it. With
regard 10 the Sherman law, Governor
Crawford SAYS IL should. I've rppeuled

ACCIDENT AT GALENA.

Wednesday evening at Galena at
the Henry Jones mine just as the min
crs had quit work Fred Van Gundy
met with an accident which will prob
ably prove fatal in its results. The
miners had been working on a slope
in the mine and had thrown their
tools down to the bottom of the slope.
Vangundy jumped down and alighted
ON a miners spoon about three feet
long. The end penetrated the groin
and ranged upward into his body no
less than twenty inches. 1t required
the combined efforts Of two men to
withdraw the spoon. At ii O'Clock
Thursday morning he was resting as
easy as could be expected, but at that
time his death was hourly expected.

THE INTER-URBAN.
Joplin Herald

All this talk of Immediately ex-
tending The inter-urban line to Car
thage, Galena, Baxter Springs and
other points was settled last night
when Mr.. Z. u. Walower in CONVEX
sation with Il representative of the
Herald stated that no extensions would
be made at present, but 1t is only a
question of time when they will be
made. Yesterday Mr.. Wallower spent
in Carthage. He was driven about
the city aud the surrounding country
and the resources and business i'm
portance Of our pretty little sister city
were shown and explained to him.
Mr.. Wallower said last night: ave
are well satisfied with our enterprise
thus far. 1t has opened up encOurag.
ingly and when the new cars arrive
the business will vastly increase. As
to the extensions to Carthage, Galena
and Baxter Springs | can only say
that they are merely Il question OF
time, but at the present none will be
made, for we desire to wait and see
how our present investment will turn
out and just what measure Of success
it will attain. We have no definitely
settled operations for the future. We
hope and intend 10 have quite an i'm
pOrtant system OF lines in this coun-
try" These statements of Mr.. WALL
over will for the time settle the talk
OF extensions Immediately to be made,
for they are official and therefore au-
thentic. A telegram was received
Yesterday stating that the through
cars would hc shipped today. If this
he true they will arrive Sunday Of
Monday and will be started on the
regular half hour schedule tim" be-
tween Webb City and Joplin Tuesday
These through cars are TO be open
summer cars, instead Of the regulation
enclosed cars. They will he run until
cold weather, by which time the ell
closed, vestibuled cars will have been
completed. When the cars arrive
take a ride for that tired feeling.

No Failure.

The recent financial failures have demonstrated the
fact that real estate is the only and safe investment
and the opportunity now offered in both city and farm
property in and around Baxter Springs that is worth
looking into Cherokee county, Kansas, with her unsur
passed COAL mineral and agricultural resources is destined
to be the richest county in the Western states and Baxter
Springs is conceded by all to be the best business town in
the county.
Baxter Springs commands the largest Indian trade OF
any of the border towns and also has the benefit OF the
dense mining population east and north AS evidence OF
this fact there has not been business failure i'll Baxter
Spngs for ten years and there is not empty house in
town.
If YOU are afraid to trust the savings banks put your
money into good paying city property where there IS
certainty of advance in prices and where is there town
in the West with brighter prospects for the future? Our
markets for grain and produce rs per cent higher than
any town in Kansas and our farmers and market gar
ldeners are the most prosperous in the world.
As residence town we surpass them all. The loca-
ton is delightful one with pure spring water good air.
and death rate of only eight per thousand.
Ex-Governor Crawford, who has recently made large
investments in and around Baxter Springs says: q" am
astonished surprised and delighted with Baxter Springs
and Cherokee county, The resources are wonderful the
climate is the finest ever saw and no section OF this con-
tnent has better prospects for the future"
TO those who wish to make safe investments, or sure
specuation or want pleasant home or are in search OF
health say come to Baxter Springs and see what have
to offer have some of the finest chances You will lind
anywhere in the way of homes. residence lots acre prop
erty farms and business generally. If you come here and
are dissatisfied it will cost you nothing.
