of voice as loud and as fierce
as ever. But with the new
pumping station almost CONF
pleted the complaints against
the Water Works Department
will soon be thing in forgot
ten history. 1t looks just now
as though the government is
doing everything in It's power
to alleviate the misery and re-
duce the annoyance which ma
turally enSueS through lack of
sufficient water with which to
make a cocktail.
Here are some figures over
which you may ponder if you
are interested in wire fences:
The European wire which we
carry in stock has been tested
at the Iron Works and shows a
tensile strength of 276opounds.
The salyanizing passed through
all the tests it is possible to put
it and shows that it is as near
perfect as it is possible to make
it. The American wire we re-
ceived a week or more ago,
land it is the best to be OBJ
tanned in the States, was tested
at the Iron Works and shows
a tensile strength of about 700
pounds. These figures show
which is the best wire, and
which you should use in build
ing the Jones Locked Fence
the best fence in the world.
The growing desire on the
part of the people to save mo-
ney accounts in a measure for
the demand that has been made
upon us for the Dietz Oil Stove.
The people who have been us
ing them here during the past
six months are so well pleased
with them that they recon-
mend them to their friends.
The fact that they cannot ex-
plode is a point in their favor;
economy Of fuel is another,
and the wish of people to have
a stove they can cook with
and not get AL bet up is an
other. Every one who uses a
Dietz Stove will tell you that
it is the best they ever had.
The time is here and house
owners should begin painting
up their dwellings. In the Sc
lection of material the fact that
Hendry's Ready Mixed is bet
ter than any other should be
considered. This mixture is
made Of pure white lead and
oxide of zinc and the best qua
lity of coIors obtainable. The
paints are made especially for
us and are guaranteed to be
tirSt-ClaSS in every respect.
They are good spreaderS and
retain their glossy appearance
longer than any mixed paint
sold elsewhere or even that
which is mixed to order. We
have them in quarts, half gal
lon and gallon containers and
in all the shades desirable for
either inside or outside work.
In localities where water is
necessary for either irrigation
or household purposes and
where nature has left an ach-
ing void by its absence, or at
least where the fluid is so far
below the surface as to be in
visible, we would suggest the
digging of surface or artesian
wells and to. the owners or
lessees of the land that they
erect Aermotors. If we could
write up the profits which
have accrued among people on

sAEEraE MARK a.
NEW YORK STOCK MARK. Ell.

New YORK, Aug. 15.-The share spec
ulation to-day was without important
feature. The tone of the market was
better than yesterday but the trading
was dull to stagnancy. The frost scare
having subsidized, there was some
covering in the Changers, and
the fact that no further en-
gagements of gold for shipment to
Europe were announced, helped to
strengthen the general market. The
easier tone of the sterling exchange mar
ket was also favorable influence. The
movement of prices was very narrow,
not exceeding fractional limits, except
in a few instances. The market closed
firm and generally higher. Bonds were
irregular with sales of 81, S42, 900.

COTTON BREAKS AGAIN
SPECTATORS WAITING FOR IN
FORMATION ABOUT THE
CROP.
MARKET DECLINED THREE POINTS.

The English Market Was Weak ana
Declined 2 to 3 Points as a Result of
Bearish Crop Statement-Stock Spec
uIation was Without Feature Though
theTone of the Market Was Improved
Wheat, Corn and Provisions All
Made Good Advances.
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline OF
about points and closed quiet at net
decline of a 3 points. The early weak
ness was due to unsatisfactory cables.
Private cables claimed that the decline
at Liverpool was chiefly the result of a
bearish statement by NELL to the effect
that the bureau report on the condition of
crop was incorrect; that the English mar
ket declined 2a3 points as a result, cover
ing only portion of the loss and closing
at net decline of 1 2a2 points. The
English weakness was a surprise to the
trade here. The conduct Of the New
York market later in the session was a
greater surprise in the way that it resis-
ted the local selling pressure. Every
body seems to be disposed to wait for
more information about the crop, par
ticularly that of Southwest Texas.

The Kan CARGO.

AS showing the force of maternal love
among the lower animals there are few
more pathetic incidents than the fol
lowing, which comes from Australia:
During a severe drought the owner of
a country station was sitting one even
ing on the balcony outside his house
when he was surprised to notice kan
CARGO lingering about, alternately ap-
preaching and retiring from the house,
as though half i'll doubt and fear what
to do. At length she approached the
water pals, and taking a young one
from her pouch held it to the water to
drink.
While her baby was satisfying it's
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with excitement, for she was but few
feet away from the balcony, where one
of her great foes was sitting, watching
her. The little one having finished
drinking, it was replaced in the pouch,
and the old kangaroo started off at a
rapid pace
When the natural timidity Of the
kangaroo is taken into account, it will
be recognized what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother betrayed. -

The Goddess of Life.

Vesta was the goddess of life and of
home. Her altar stood on every hearth
stone, her fire burned on the floor of ev-
cry public building. Emigrants, when
leaving their country, always carried
with them fire from the public hearth.
The vestal virgins spent 80 years in
service-ten in learning their duties, ten
in practicing them, ten in teaching
novices. After this term had expired,
they might, if they chose, leave the serv-
ice of their divine mistress Or marry,
but few did so. Honors were showered
upon them They rode in chariots, a
privilege in Rome accorded only to roy
atty; the best seats in the amphitheater
were reserved for them; they pardoned
Or condemned the gladiators If a GRIM
inal led to execution met vestal, he
was instantly released, no matter what
his crime
