FEW STEERS TO BE HAD.
Effects of the Dry Time of Several
 Years Ago on the Arizona Range.

There is little prospect of much of a beef crop next season. The trou- ble lies not so much in the lack of feed on the mountain ranges as in the awful drought of several years ago. At that time all the old COWS and most of the calves died. There was no in crease the following year and conse- quently today there are few 3-year-olds to be found on the range. There are not half as many cattle in Arizona, possibly not third of the number, that there were three years ago, and it is perhaps as well, for the dry years of famine have come to the stockman and if he can only hold the cattle yet left to him he is fortuunate. A few good summer rains that would fill the water holes and extend the grazing area would be worth millions to the stock industry of the southwest. Even the Verde valley, usually the last to feel any general drought, is now suf- fering and the cattle driven to this valley for pasturage are about as lean as they can be and yet travel
 It is thought, however, that the loss will be largely offset by the raise in the value of the cattle for beef stock, and it is not likely that the corn crop of Kansas at the next cropping will be sold at anything like the present low price, thus throwing more profit into the pockets of the local cattle feeder.

PROPHBSIES DEFEAT.
The Denver Republican Sees Little
 Chance for Mckinley.

: DENVER, June 19.-Jn it's leading editorial the Denver Republican Rept says today:
 sWhen Mckinley accepted the nomi- nation from the money power he justly forfeited the respect and support of aA true believers in bim metallism and we hold that the Colorado delegates and others who went out with them ara entitled to the lasting gratitude of their constituents for the courage and inde- pendence they displayed in this mat ter. AS the chief representative of protection, Major Mckinley will prove a popular candidate in the manufac- turing centers of the eastern and mid dle states where that policy is deemed sufficient to insure the return of the prosperity which the country enjoyed under President Harrison's adminis- tration, when we were adding $50,000,- 900 to our currency on account of the purchase of silver, but we believe that as the campaign progresses the money question will rapidly become the issue in every section and if the opinion is sound, it is wholly within the range of probability that the platform and ticket approved at St. Louis yesterday will be defeated by the greatest ma jority in the history of American poii- tics next November"

SACRED HEART GRADUATES.
Closing Exercises of the School Held
 Thursday Evening.

The closing exercises of the Sacred Heart academy on the evening of the 18th were to give the graduating class their due honor There were three members of the class, Misses Clara Galpin, Eleanor Merriam and Bessie Otero. These young ladies in their white attire and simplicity were like the fairest flowers that bloom.
 The programme consisted of music, recitations, dialogues, etc., all of which were we'll done. After the school chorus Miss Galpin delivered her essay and salutatory in a manner not to be excelled.
 Miss Otero's essay, Sunshine and Shadow" was we'll rendered, display ing the work of it's composition. She showed in her delivery the joy, and yet the sorrow of leaving school
 Miss Merriam's solo showed her a natural musician. Her very fingers seemed to talk.
 Miss Munro's voice is we'll trained. the greatest ease.
 Miss Eva Bowyer, on behalf of her companions, delivered the address to the graduates in a way most pleasing.
 The valedictory delivered by Miss Galpin was with all the feeling that could be thrown into a piece. The most touching words of all were the last farewell words to her teachers.
 Judge Campbell presented the class with their diplomas and gold medals, and delivered the closing address.
 The Sisters may we'll be proud of this class.

They have no as- surance from the Democratic man. agers, but have been invited to send representatives to the Democratic Ma tional convention at Chicago next month to confer with the party.
 The silver men say they are willing to cooperate wherever they can con- sistently do so to defeat the gold stand ard.
 Senator Teller when asked about a movement to place him in the field as an independent candidate for president refused to express an opinion of the movement or say whether he would consent to run or not.

MATTER OF CHEAP FUEL.
To the Editor OF The Post.

Houston. Texas. November There has
been considerable talk upon the streets re-
Gently regarding cheaper fuel for Houston
by way OF a fuel gas now manufactured by
a new process, which, it is claimed makes
it possible to procure gas at nominal
figure, not exceeding 80 cents per 1000 cubic
feet.
1t is also claimed that there are plants in
operation in Boston. Buffalo and other
cities that are demonstrating these facts
If such be true 1t occurs to the writer that
every person in Houston should become
interested In the matter, as it would mean
a saving in fuel almost beyond comparison
TO present cost, not considering at all the
radiance Of smoke. ashes and dirt. An ap-
picatlon for franchise TO lay mains in the
streets Is now pending before the city
council. which, If granted. will be but a
step towards the citizens OF Houston pro-
curing this cheap gas. 1t is certainly to
be hopcd that the council will not delay the
granting OF such franchise, then vail follow
the opportunity OF all unemployed persons
in Houston to lind employment, as well
as the citizens TO enjoy luxury heretofore
undreamed OF IN. the city. Citizen.
