other strong card this year with the show is
the famous Russian quartet. The Fabri-

America. The fame of this remarkable CO.

has preceded them. During their farewell
tour through their native country they APP

The railroads of the country are in
anything but satisfactory condition,
and the revelations in the a Of the
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe come
like a shock to the country. AS we
stated last week, the examination Of
the books by an expert discloses the
fact that the income of the last four
years has been made to appear s., OOO,-
900 more than it was. Of this, 81, O00,-
OCO was paid in rebates to shippers
presumably in violation of the inter,
state commerce law, and other large
amounts have been paid to other roads
as a pooling balance, also presumably
in violation of law. President Rein
harris answer is generally regarded as
unsatisfactory-he does not even speak
of the rebates-and he has been con-
strained to send in his resignation.
The road is in the hands Of a receiver,
which fact has led to these revelations.
In truth, about two-thirds of the roads
of the country are in receivers hands
and being operated by the government,
q fact which should be broken very
gently to those conservative people
who think that anyone who talks
about the governments operating the
railroads (as nearly all civilized nations
do) Is on the high road to populism,
socialism, anarchism, OF some other
dreadful ism. But it is difficult to see
how government ownership could bring
us to. a worse pass than we are now.
The railroads get into a controversy
with their employees, and the govern
ment has to come to the rescue In
behalf of the public and take a hand
roads into the bankruptcy, and again
the government has to come to the
rescue and, through a receiver, run
the road. The present anomalous o n
dition of railways-public highways
before the law and whenever help is
needed, but private property in fact
and whenever profits are to be divided
ought to come to an end. The Atchi
Vol is not the only system that needs
ventilation. Here is what The Tribune,
Aug. Is, says:
There never was q better time to
inaugurate a reform. A reform which
shall be radical and permanent, A re
form which shall make an end of the
sharp practices by which rival man
ayers Outwit each other, violate law,
rig the market, ard impose on public
confidence. A reform which shall for
bid gentlemen after entering into a
'gentleman's agreement from putting
a premium on the traffic managing
talent that can most surely dodge the
agreement and evade the law. A re
form which shall take the tylers off
the doors of the offices, and the fingers
off the lips of book keepers and ac-
countants; do away with the grips,
passwords, cOuntersigns and all the
freemaeonry of the craft of managers;
close the suspense accounts abolish
rebates and shut down on all the costly
machinery Of misrepresentation, con
cealment and evasion. A reform, in
short, which will pay a fair price for
honesty, instead of a premium for
d~exterious deception, and give to every
railroad bond the credit and currency
of a gentleman's word. This is possible.
Why not try it3"
Whatever the competitive system
may or may not have done for the
world in other directions, it's useful
ness as applied to railroads appears
from this to have come to an end

Another word to the good people of Alex
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
us call and to inspect the offerings We have
been making for the last few weeks it is need
less for us to say anything in the way of ex-
planstion of what we are doing Our bar
gains are more convincing than columns of
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward, and who are suspicious Of "sales'
gotten upnow and then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say few words to-day.
In the first place we want you to under
stand that this is no fake" selling out. 1t
isn't done for pleasure, and it isn't done for
profit. Stern necessity caused the institution
Of this sale. Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands cut in prices
regardless of the value, cost and desirability
O. the Goods, Wares and Merchandise we have
still or hand
Tie law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up, and wind up is the word even
if we have to practically give the goods away.
Now, if we have convinced you that this is
bona fide clearing out, and have gained
enough of your confidence to have you be-
ieve that our object is to get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, we will, for the pur-
pose of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE that
we offer the bargains of lifetime, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de-
sirable goods Figures, We know, don't lie, so
we will let them speak for themselves. Look
over our list carefully, and if you see anything
you want cut out the advertisement and put
you finger on the article and come to>us, and
you will get the stuff exactly as advertised.
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see us so often lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Expcrience ola WheeIman.

Teddy Dolson a few nights ago had
an experience compared with which
Tam O. Shanter's famous ride pales into
insignificance. Instead of the horse
with which Tam was equipped, Teddy
had bicycle in the places of the
witches that pursued and plagued and
almost crazed the Scotsman, the Chey-
enne man was followed by hungry
coyotes. Tam, too, had taken gener-
Gus libation of usquebaugh. while Dol
sons only refreshment was hearty
supper.
On the evening in question, accord
ing to his habit, Dolson started out for
bicycle run. He had intended to go
few miles south, then return, but be-
ing unacquainted with the country lost
his way, and in endeavoring to regain
his bearings lost himself entirely. He
wheeled on ir the direction that Chey-
enne seemed to him to be, arriving at
$50 o'clock at Wheeler's ranch. 20
miles from Cheyenne.
There ne was directed how to get
back to town, and started back on the
trail. On and on he rode, but in no
fixed direction, for in the darkness be
rad promptly lost his way again on
leaving the Wheeler ranch. As he
wheeled alo lg in the gloomy night over
the untracked prairie, wishing for moth
ing on earth so much as q comfortable
bed. he became suddenly aware of the
fact that he was being closely followed.
Behind him was pack of yelping,
bowling coyotes, that were close upon
him before being noticed. There in
tention was so evident that his waning
energies were awakened with a thrill.
He bent over his wheel and pusht it
as fast as he could over hill and valley.
but always closely followed by the CO.
yottes.
To add to his misfortunes, ne broke
a pedal in attempting too great sreed,
and was on the point of giving out and
letting the hungry COYOTES do their
worst when he spied deserted shack
a short distance away. To this he has
tened, and, abandoning his bicycle,
climbed upon the root that slanted up
from the ground. Even here the CO.
VOTES followed him, but coign of
vantage and place of refuge was found
on the top of the chimney.
All night he remained there, at times
driving away his pursuers with frag-
ments of bricks, which caused their re-
treat to short distance, whence, after
series of lugubrious bowls, thef
would return to the attack. At day..
light they departed with parting sa-
lutte of angry howls, and Dolson climb
ed down and mounted his bicycle, soon
reaching Pierce station on the Denver
Pacific, 3S miles from Cheyenne
