THE cowBoYs DAY is OVER.
He Is No Longer in Evidence Out In tn

He Is No Longer in Evidence Out In the
Far West.
The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast
becoming extinct, says Lippincott's
Magazine. In the dawn of the new cen
tury now approaching he will be re-
garded as curiosity Then years
hence he will have attained the dignity
of tradition. History, which embalms
the man in armor and eXalts the pio-
neer, holds place for him. The niche
may be modest one, but he has his
part in conquering new country and
no impartial record of western evolu
tion can omit his picturesque figure.
Before civilization devours his dignity,
let us try to detain it a moment in its
real likeness and garb.
Dwellers in the long-settled commu-
| mites scarcely realize how great a
| change has come over the far west
| during the last decade. Ranches there
| will always be-ranches for grain, hay,
fruit and blooded live stock but not
| for the rearing of range cattle. Yet
| the time is in easy memory when there
was craze over the cattle business;
when the cowboy was king at Dodge
City; when hundreds of educated young
men went west to share the hardships
of herders. To-day the cattle ranches
are deserted or mortgaged or turned
into farms. A more advanced intelli-
gence has penetrated the possibilities
of irrigation and water is reclaiming
the wilderness once given over to the
long-horn steer.
The decline of the range cattle indus
try has been as amazing and rapid as
was its rise. The business is not simply
suffering from stagnation; it has almost
ceased to exist. Early in the sos a
beef steer running on the range repre-
sented forty dollars; one-fourth that
sum would pay for him now. Thirty
dollars was the average for COW with
a calf at her side; now whole herds are
| DISPOSED of for six dollars a head,

ENVELOPE FLAPS.
Old Nags Said to BE Used to Make Them

Old Nags Said to BE Used to Make Them
Adhesive.
Envelope-licllers will do well to
pause and ponder on the fact that =
man has died in consequence 81 in
dulging in the popular brt disgusting
trick of moistening the adhesive en-
velope with the tongue, advises Oak
land Echoes. Some will say: 'How
can gum arabic poison any person?"
Gum arabic? Are they so innocent as
to believe that this article, raised to a
prohibitive price by the Egyptian war
and subsequent closure of the Soudan,
is used on the envelopes? Do they see
that ancient nag hobbling down the
street? There is the parent of their
gum arabic; and in few weeks time,
when that decrepit animal has made
his bow TO the lSnaclier, and yielded up
his hoofs to the glue-boiler, perhaps
they may have lick at his remains on
the envelope they are dispatching to a
friend or sweetheart.
And should some taint of animal
poison lurl1 amid that gum, they may
soon require other, and blacll-bordered,
envelopes to be licked for them when
their mourning cards are sent out.
Perhaps no more unpleasant part OF a
visit to a stationer's shop is when, hav-
ing folded the small purchase in n fiimsy
envelope, the tradesman raises it to his
lips, opens hippopotamus mouth, pro-
tIudes tongue which looks at least
two sizes too large for its habitation,
and then with a smirl1 hands the damp
delicacy to his customer. May he, of
all men, be warned by the premature
departure of fellow-licl1er, and may
all who send literary missives to their
friends rest assured that the recipients
of these envelopes would feel better
pleased if these coverings had been
closed without any exhibition of moist

BIG CATTLE HORNS,
The Greatest Pair in the Country Believed

The Greatest Pair in the Country Believed
to BE Owned in New York.
In the Office of downtown whole.
sale dealer in horns and tips, says the
New York Sun, there is a pair of South
American cattle horns that measure.
following the horns, nine feet from tip
to tip. 1t is believed to be the biggest
pair of horns in the country There
may be others of wider spread than
these, for these curve forward some
what as well as outward and upward.
but none OF SO great length There are
other noble pairs of horns in the same
office. For the great pair the dealer
has more than once received an offer of
seventy-fvc dollars.
Cattle horns are used for the manu-
facture of combs, knife scales, buttons
and other articles, and the tip or solid
part is used for pipe stems, buttons,
jewelry, ball fringes, and so on. Ocea-
sionally there is call for a pair of
horns for decorative purposes, which
the dealer supplies, and which he has
mounted, it desired. Single pairs of
horns sell at from seventy-five cents to
hve dollars pair, according to their
size and beauty; the mounting may
cost dollar and half to three dollars

The WEALTH OF NATIONS.

While America Is the Richest, France Is
Richer Per Capita.
The United States is the richest coun-
try in the world, according to NJ. G..
Francois, the eminent French statisti-
clan, who has been making careful
study of the wealth of nineteen of the
principal nations Of the globe. 1t will
interest penniless people to know that
this calculator estimates the riches of
this country at 313, 900, ,000, 900 francs, or
reckoning francs to the dollar, nearly
SOD, 900, 100000, says the New York
World.
England is the next with 265, ,000, ,000,-
900 francs and France the third in line,
being the possessor of 225, ,000, ,000,O Goo
Germanys fortune is considerably less
only 1G1 900, ,OO0, 900; and the Russian
empire, though far more vast, is con-
siderably poorer, with but 12,O0O,OOO,-
900.
Three states possess more than 50,-
900, 900, 900 and less than 100000, 900, 600
each. Austro-Hungary, $4,000, 100000;
Spain, G3, 900, ,O00,0 900, and Italy, 54,000,-
900, 900. The fortunes of the eleven
other countries vary between 5000, ,00O,-
600 and 34, 600, 900, 900 francs.
The actual amount of money pos
sessed by the various nations bears but
feeble proportion to the above figures
of national wealth. The Bank of
France for example, is responsible for
only about $500, COO, 600 francs. or lit
tie less than per cent. of the total for
tune of that country, while other coun-
tries have still less cash in their pocl1
cts or strong boxes, for France has the
greatest per capita wealth of any coun-
try in the world

KILLED IN AN INSTANT
William NiY3l'S Life Crushed Out By a
Great Rock.

His Wife Falls Unconscious When
the News Is eroken-Mr.
Nivens Was Highly Es-
teemed.
IT ROLLED OVER ONTO HIM

William Nivens was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon shortly after 12o'clock
while loading rock at the quarry mile
and half west of Anaconda. His brother,
Peter, was assisting him, and they had by
crowbars showed on a board a stone
weighing about 800 pounds up into the
wagon. They tipped it into the wagon
one end resting in the wagon bed, the
other projecting over tho side of the box.
William climed into the wagon to finish
loading the rock. Peter took away the
board and started for a crowbar TO help
him, when he heard a crash and turned
about only to see his brother fall back
wards ont of the wagon. Tho rock was
unbalanced and as he fell, IL followed HIM
and struck him on the hea !, and rolled
over on his legs. Death was instantan-
eous.
Peter called for help TO a man driving
along the road scarcely 80 feet away, but
the fellow drove along and refused to as
sist in removing the rock from the fallen
man. Peer Levengood heard the calls
for help and at once responded. The rock
was removed q d the b d brought to the
dead mans home on Pine street in this
city, by Mr.. Levengood's son. Mr. Leven-
good himself came in first and broke the
sad news as gently as possible to Mrs.
Nivens, but she could not realiZs her be-
reavement until the body of her husband
was brought home. The poor woman fell
unconscious and fears are entertained
that the shock will be two great for her
health, as she has been i'll for some time.
The dead man was a native of Scotland,
where his mother and one brother still re-
side in Aberdeen shire. A brother named
Aleck is in China. Two other brothers
reside in Anaconda, Peter and James.
William was 81 years of age and came 10
this city in 1884 He was stonemason
by trade, Woodworking and industrious,
and did not hesitate when he had no work
at his trade to turn his hand to any other
work that could DO had. He and his
brother have been engaged recently in
getting out stone for the futile foundry,
and ii was in this work that he met his
death. He was not a member of any order
except the Masons and Bricklayers'
union. The funeral arrangements have
not been completed.
