 The rapid spread of the use of electricity ss motive power has seriously hurt the market for horses. Fairly good horses can be bought ia the great horse markets In New York for from fifteen to thirty dol lars. Of course fine horse will still bring good price and the market for race horses hasn't suffered. But ordinary, honest and industrious plugs are cheap And there is no sale for the half breed horses of the Northwest. It Is estimated that in eastern Washington, Oregon, Mon tans, Nevada and Idaho there are {, 2,O00,- GOO head of hslf-breed horses for which no market can be found. The prices brought at auction sales are go low that there is DO prof. in raising the animals. A few dollars will now buy @ good mustang in that part of the country. Meanwhile the stock running wild on the big ranches goes on increasing ont of all proportion to the demand. Something must be done, and it is seriously proposed to kill off by thousands the mopgreI herds of the Northwest and convert them into fertilizing and similar compounds. With this end in view 8 company has been organized at Portland, Oregon, and sits for the abattoir has been secured. It Is proposed by the inco,porators to bring all the horses purchased to their abat- toirs and there kill them by painless method. The flesh will then be rendered of all its fat, and the residue, with the bones and hoofs, will bs made Into ferti. lIzsr. The hides, that have always g market value, will be carefully removed and salted, the hair being shaved off, and, with the msne and tail, used for the stuff. ing of mattresses and upholstery work. A portion of the meat will also be compressed for chicken food, and no part of the hide, hair, flesh or bone that can bs put into any practical use will be lost sight of.
 What fate for the wild rangers of the Northwest. A life that ends in manure and chicken food Is hardly worth living.

Europeans with money to invest are not grabbing for stocks and bonds of Ameri- can railroads as they were few years ago, and no wonder. Their experience ought to teach them something. It has been a serious one. They will be interested, though perhaps not much consoled, by what Dr. Won der Leyden, department commissioner of public works at Berlin, tells them about the way they have lost their money. He says that they have put too much confidence in American railroads. He goes into the management of the generic rail road corporation as 1t exists in the United States and diacloses the results or conclusions of his examination without favor. In the irst place he finds that new roads are usually built, not on the shares or stocks issued, which are. as a rule, d. vided up among the incorporators, but-by the selling of bonds. This lsst move. it is pointed ont, Is not made until the prop erty Is mortgaged to secure the bond issue. Then if the capital secured in this manner is not sufficient, "follows 8 second, third or other" issue of bonds, secured in the 1ame way, valued &C., cording to priority of issuance. Dr. Von der Leyden refers in the second place to the fact that bondholders have no voice as general thing in the manage. ment of roads affairs during or after 1t is built. He emphasizes the independence of the stockholders at all times, those in- dividuals who have not paid necessarily 8 cent for the road, and the inability of the bondholders to interfere with them, except, perhaps, after costly litigation.
 Pretty good for @ foreigner. And he might have added that often a way is found to knock out the stockholders effec- tuaIlv

FASHION NOTES.
Gfve Her n Half.

The eilver buckled ribbon belts that are go popular in the jewellers windows are pretty to give for presents, but after all, to wear they are likely to be source of disappointment. Ia the first place the lighter and finer of texture the silver of the buckle and attachments is, the pret- tier the affair is to give away. But to wear, that is sno :her matter. Even if a girl abhors the idea of lacing, she at the game time wants to feel that her belt has some consideration for her and some self respect, and 1t Is humilisting when she Ia not laced, not the least bit, to have the whole buckle tear out like tis- sue paper and leave the ribbon part dan gling apparently half yard too small for her waist. These belts are certainly all the rage, but be advisedi let them serve for gifts and don't place reliance on them for your own wear.

A WORTHY CKLEBRkTION.
 Memorial Day was celebrated in this re- zion with unusual interest and enthusi- asm. The exercises around the Soldiers monument on East Rock park were mest fitting and impressive, and furnished 8 fine lesson in patriotism and honor to the thousands who saw and heard them. The appropriate speeches, the glorious music and the sublime natural surroundings combined to inspire deep feeling in the editors and bsholders and they will not soon forget what they heard and saw and felt. Such events help to make good citizens, and to keep alive and strong the spirit which has made this g free and a united country. In formally remembering and memorializing those who died to make 1t free and united those who engage in the work honor the noble and the heroic dead and encourage nobility and heroism in the living.

FROM KANSAS TIMBER.
A NEW INDUSTRY STARTS IN
ABILENE.
The Manufacture Of Patent Sawed
Hoops Will Give More Employ
ment-A Big Field Open to the
Industry.

The kind of enterprise that is need
ed to make success in Kansas is be-
ing shown by A. II. Paul, proprietor
of the Abilene Planning Mill, who has
arranged to enter new field of man
ufacturc for Kansas and will inaug-
urate new industry for Abilene.
The planning mill will on Monday
begin turning out patent sawed barrel
hoops for use in making flour, salt,
lime and stucco barrels and nail kegs.
The hoops will be made of elm timber
secured in Dickinson county, the
present source Of supply being near
Sand Springs. Fifteen men will be
regularly employed on this work alone
and the mill machinery has been
thoroughly overhauled to make ready
for the start. About 5000 hoops will
be made daily when fully under way,
though the capacity of the mill is
200 to 10000 day.
Heretofore the barrel makers and
users of Kansas have been buying
hoops from st. Louis and points
further east. Last year Abilene used
100000 hoops, Enterprise 100000
Salina 800, 900 and so on all over Kan
sas, Mr.. Paul saw the opportunity
and on his recent trip to Chicago pur'
chased a complete set of hoop-making
machinery which has just been placed
in position. Mr.. Paul already has
orders from a Chicago house for IL
to 20 cars, 10000 hoops to the car, a.
soon as he can make them, to ship Il
the firms customers in this section
of the west The hoops are made o
elm OF which there Is a larg'
amount of suitable growth in thi
country. Two million will be mad
the first year.
1t is Selling such opportunities n
this that makes up success and open
up the way to give employment an
reap substantial benefits. Mr.. Paul
enterprise is of decided advantage t
Abilene and seems destined to rea
abundant success.

on the progress being made by his
creamery situated in this county. He
has recently purchased the Gypsum

The creamery has now over lO5
patrons and is buying 10000 pounds
OF milk a week. II is paying out
close to $1,000 a month for milk and
help, three men being employed, and
is shipping about $500 pounds of but
ter week. The expenditure Of $4,000
Il month in single country commun-

vantage. The creamery's business is
steadily increasing and 10, 900 pounds
of milk will be taken in weekly in a

list of the county. "and will probably
ret it. He has the advantage that
the man who is in always has. There
is good deal of opposition to Davis
in the party because Of his general
usclessness and crankism, but no one
is prominent enough to be nominated
over him without hard work--and
those fitted for the place will not do
that work. Chris Hoffman could
probably have had it would he have
gone after it, but he is indifferent and
does not care to work for the nomi-
nation"

WATER TO DRINK,
The New Fountain Prolific Of Strange
Events.

The new drinking fountain over
which Abilene has wrangled and
worried for six years wns put in posi-
ton and the water turned on Saturday
night. Those who expected for 500
to secure n sort of Mac Monnics affair
with a voluptuous marble Aprodite
on top and half dozen undraped
cherubs around the base are disap-
pointed. The fountion is simply
an iron post with two saucers ON OPP
positc sides through which tricklc
running streams of Sand Springs
water.
The fountain is going to be great
benefit to the town. Men who have
not tasted water for months have al
ready been tempted to sample the
sparkling fluid, and although their
eyes have turned longingly toward
the Anheuser-Busch freight car that
stands on the track across the street
they have uniformly pronounced it a
very excellent thing. It is going to
hurt the business of the joints con-
Siderably and be standing advertise
ment for the finest water furnished
any town in Kansas or the West,
! Along next July some dull day we ar,
going to publish Hawthorne's "Ril
from the Town Pump" and apply i
to Abilene's fountain--it will prove
very appropriate.
