THE NEW INDUSTRY.
Consul Tingle Points Out a Market for
 Horse Meat. ......

WASHINGTON, May 25-Mr. E. W. S. Tingle, United States consul at Bruns- wick, Germany, contributes interest ing facts to the state department about the consumption of horse meat as food in that country. In the large cities its consumption is almost as great as that of beef and mutton. In the smaller cities prejudice against horse meat as food continues, but the consumption is growing. In the large cities there are numerous shops devoted exclusively to the sale of horse meat. The customers are the poor classes, but as these com prise nine-tenths of the consumers of the country, an idea may be had as to the proportions of the trade. With beef selling from l5 to 25 cents pound it is only upon rare occasions that the workingman earning from 75 cents to sl day can have beef. Horse meat can be had for cents pound, and as those who consume it become used to 1t, the demand increases until it is now somewhat difficult to meet the demand.
 Consul Tingle says: "The horse supply in the United States Is practically in exharstible- Horses can be raised in the west much cheaper than cattle. They can be slaughtered easier or can be shipped alive across the sea much more easily than cattle and can be sold either on the hoof or dressed at price certainly not over cents a pound, which the German workman paid hitherto. Canning Is out of the ques- ton, but the meat is consumed in Ger many in both salted and smoked state as we'll as fresh, and in either one of the three conditions the American exporters could furnish it. With the rapid disuse of horses in the United States, the raising of horses now, es- pecially in the west, is far from being the profitable industry it formerly was. However, if the ranchman can make the raising of horses for food profitable why should he not do it?"

The President Writes Letter to the Dem-
 ocratic Newspaper Men of New York.
 NEW YORK, May 25.-The two days stay of the democratic editors came to an end last night when banquet was rendered them at Delmonico's. Col. William Brown was toast-master. He introduced John A. Mason, who read letter from President Cleveland which expressed regret at his inability to be present, saying: .
 When campaign is actively on foot to force the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver by the government at ratio which will add to our circulation unrestrained mill lions of so-called dollars, intrinsically worth but half the amount they pur- port to represent, with no provision or resource to make good any deficiency in value, and when it is claimed that such proposition has any re- lation to the principles of democracy, it is time for all who may in the least degree influence demo- cratic thought to realize the responsi- bility. Our party is the party of the people, not because it is drifted h.ther and thither by every wave of popular excitement and misconception, but be- cause, while it tests every proposition by the doctrines which underlie its or ganization, 1t insists that all interests should be defended in the administra- tion of the government, without es- pecial favor or discrimination. Our party is the party of the people, because in its care for the well fare of all our countrymen it resists dangerous schemes, born of discontent; advocates by ap- peals to sectional or class prejudices and reinforced by the insidious acts of private selfishness and cupidity. Above all, our party is the party of the peo- pie, when it recognizes the fact that sound and absolutely safe money is the life blood of our countrys strength and prosperity, and when it teaches that none of our fellow-citizens, rich or poor, great or humble, can escape the consequences of degeneration of our currency. Democratic care and conservatism dictate that if there exist inconvenience and hardship re- sulting from the congestion or imper- feet distribution of our circulating medium, remedy should be applied which will avoid the disaster that mus follow in the trail of silver mono. metallism."

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Serious Injury to Wheat by Frost Not Cred
 ited-NaiI Works Combining.


 ited-NaiI Works Combining.
 NEW YORK, May 25-R. q. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: If wheat has been so greatly injured by the snows and frosts in May that the sudden rise of 12 cents in two weeks is justified, the calamity will affect all business prospects. The markets do not believe it, for stocks do not collapse. Iron, leather and hides still rise, and no holders of wheat would sell at 80 cents, lower price than had been known when at this season for thirty years prior to 1893, if current reports were credited. Some injury has undoubted- ly been sustained, but our own dis patches do not show that it is really se- rious. The temper is to buy, regardless of the visible requirements,i in the faith that prices are sure to rise. Western receipts of wheat for three weeks have been larger than last year in spite of storms and frosts. But the rise has practically stopped buying for export as the similar rise did in April, 1894, which was followed by about the lowest price then ever known. Whether grain has been greatly in- jured or not foreign markets will take early occasion to fortify themselves from other sources. The weeks sales here have amounted to l55,OOO, GOO bushels, and accounts of damage by frost and by insects are so mixed up that some traders think the bugs must wear overcoats. Corn rose 3% cents during the week, though much of the corn killed may be replanted; pork rose 50 cents per barrel; lard 5 cents per 100 pounds, and oats cents per bushel.
 Nail works are combining and coke pool is expected to raise prices soon. Pittsburgh banks note with drawals for pay rolls in the past month of S2,3s3,S 1897, against Sl,s65,s last year by the same works. Orders this year number s2,O29 freight and 72 passenger cars, 5000 more than in the whole year 1894, but in 1892 and previous years the output was over 93,0o0 freight cars.

 ing an Unfair View of Their Side.
 HoUsToN, Tex, May 24.-The weather was clear and bracing yesterday morn. ing, but the streets were too sloppy for the parade of United Confederate Veterans, which was postponed until to-day. The following report by Gen. Stephen D. Lee was adopted:
 "We cannot too strongly urge upon our people the great importance of avoiding as far as possible the pur. chasing and disseminating of books and literature which are unkind and unfair to the south. An example of this kind of literature is the Encyclopedia Britannica, which, while work of exceptional merit in many particulars, abounds in such distortion of histori. cal facts in reference to the south as could have emanated only from igno- rance or malignity."
 Gen. Gordon called for Gen. Jo Shel- by to come upon the stage, but the great Missouri fighter was not present to answer the call. Gen. w. l.. Cabell, from the committee on the Davis mon- ument fund, made his report. It re- cited that, despite financial depression, good progress had been made. It is intended to lay the corner stone in Richmond, Va, in the spring of 1896.
 The ballot for the location of the next reunion resulted as follows: Rich mond, 7s0; Charleston, 49; Atlanta, POS; Kansas City, 4. Richmond was there upon chosen as the next place of meet inp

The Race for Homesteads on the Kickapoc
 Reservation--A Ratio of More Than le
 to l.
 GUTHRIE, Ok, May 2L-Within twen. ty minutes yesterday s5,00O acres of prairie land were transferred into a hive of surging humanity. Yesterday morning the Kickapoo reservation was barren tract; at night it throbbed with life and activity. At 12 noon yes terday one of the most exciting handi- cap races known in history, not except ing the great rush to the Cherokee strip, was pulled off. Although it was only third as large as the strip run, it equalled the latter in many respects. As early as 3 o'clock in the morning the east side of the KiclSapoo was liter ally lined with humanity, and every preparation was made for the break at l2. Every kind of vehicle imaginable was pressed into service. By daylight people were crowding for advantageous places on the line, all attempting to jam in at the best crossings of the Deed Fork. The Ingram crowd on the north numbered several thousand, while the Chandler delegation on the east was twice as large. Every man who had entered a fractional quarter on the north side of Deep Fork three years ago stood in the middle of the stream astride their best horses, ready tc dash upon the balance of the fraction, and number of women were in the same position without the formality of divided skirts or bloomers.
 Promptly on time the signal gun spoke out and the mad rush began. Horses, mules, bicycles, wagons, bug gies and vehicles dashed across the line and disappeared in whirlwind of dust and confusion. No accidents oc- cured at this starting place. Hun dreds of women started, and exhibited the same amount of enthusiasm as the men.
 Two townsite companies are conspic. uous and have capital behind them. One from Chandler has for an objective point place half way between Cham dler and Tecumseh and backed by prom inent men from Chandler and Guthrie. The embryo town is to be called Kick apoo City. The other is on the Choc. taw, midway between Shawnee and Choctaw City, and is to be called Olney. It is intended as rival to Shawnee and Is backeds by Oklahoma City and TecumSeh capital.

A GHASTLY FIND.

The Bodies of a Mother and Children Who
 Disappeared from Omaha Found In the
 Missouri River.
 OMAHA, Neb. May 24-A Missouri riv- CT fisherman yesterday found the bodies of Mrs Ida Notsen and her two young children. Mrs Notsen is the Omaha school-teacher whose mysterious dis appearance with her children last fall created such a sensation in Omaha. Disappointment in politics she alleged as a reason for committing sui eide. She left letter saying she would kill herself and her children be- cause she had not been appointed to a position in the office of the state super intendent of public instruction. Search of the river at the time revealed noth" ing that would indicate that Mrs Not sen had carried out her threat She was very intelligent woman of 40, with a good standing in state edu- cational circles. Her husband Is a Chicago merchant; she taught in Omaha, residing with her pa- rents. The bodies were found firmly tied together with a heavy rope. It wound around them several times. Evidently the miserable woman had taken her children in her arms, twist ed the rope around them, and after binding their three bodies together that they might not be separated in death, leaped into the river. The clothing of the children was tied around their necks, as if having been Aingled before being carried into the water.

DIXON THE VICTOR.
Knocked Oscar Gardner Out In the Thir-
 ty-SiNth Round.


 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 27.-After thirty-siX rounds of hard, clever, sci entifc fighting Tommy Dixon, of Ro- chester, N. Y., knocked out Oscar Gardner, of Kansas City, yesterday afternoon, the ring being pitched in a well selected spot over in Kansas within convenient distance of Kan sas City. It was by all odds the best fight ever brought off in the vicinity of Kansas City, and may truthfully be said to have been one of the best battles ever witnessed in this country. Both men were clever in the highest degree and both showed good punishing and receiving qualities. but superior generalship told in the end and gave the victory to Dixon. Gardner was badly punished about the face, Dixon landing a hundred short left arm jabs on his mouth and nose. Gardner broke both his hands on DiXon's cranium. The fight was for $500 a side and was witnessed by 1,OOc people

MINERS GIVE UP.
Those in the Panhandle District Advised
 That Their Strike Is Lost.

That Their Strike Is Lost.
 PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 25. - The miners officials practically gave up the strike last night and advised the men to go to work for the 60-cent rate if they could get it. In the Panhandle district mass meeting was held of 2,O0O miners. They were divided on the matter of continuing the strike for the 69-cent rate and the officers then told them the strike was lost and that they had better return to work be- fore they were forced to sign iron-clad agreements such as were made on the Wheeling division. As result all the mines within radius of 10 miles of Carnegie resumed this morning at the 60-cent rate. About 5000 men are em- ployed in that district. An attempt was made to hold meeting at Turtle Creek at the DeArmitt mines, but just when the meeting got started the leaders were served with an injunction issued year ago and which has never been rescinded. The union miners promptly retired.

Forests Whitfield Away.

A notable example of a big result produced by small means is found in the fast that lead pencil users have whitfield away several big forests of cedar trees in Europe, and the supply of wood suitable for lead pencils is practically exhausted in the old world. An order has just been placed by noted German firm of pencil makers with California lumber company for large quantity ofsequoia wood, which is found to be the best wood now avail able for pencils. The sequoia is the big tree of California. It seems too bad that the grand old giants should be sacrificed, and especially that their end should be lead pencil shavipgs. Paper Makers Monthly Journal.
