Too Many Horse Hides.

The hide Of the horse has always
been valuable for making ladies' fine
shoes and thongs for belt lacing. It
is much finer than the hide OF a beef,
and when split makes very fine and
soft leather. A few years ago the
market could not get enough of them.
That was in the days when a horse
was o horse. aud worth something, be-
fore the electric motor drove him from
the street car service. As high as 50
was paid for q good hide, and it was q
very poor one that would not bring
$3.50. But as the horse got cheaper
and the advocate of horse flesh as food
was REINFORCED by the butcher who
could palm it off for beef, things slow
~ began to change. Prices went down
steadily, until now it takes a No. 1
hide to bring $3.50, while fair ones
go for fifty cents, and the poorer ones
are thrown away. The consumption
of horse flesh in Europe, particularly
in Paris, seems to have increased Won
derfully, judging from the heavy i'm
portatiop of hides to this country,
while in this country it is said there
is not large city where the horse is
not slaughtered fol- the market and
sold either openly or secretly. The
meat canning establishments are also
credited with utilizing q great many
broken-down animals. Thus, while
the beef hide market has its fuctua-
tions and days of glut and scarcity,
the horse hide market IL completely
stagnated, and there does not seem to
be any possible hope for a revival of
/ it.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

The Nashville Sun says: We have
often heard rumors and reports of
capital coming South, when it did not
come in sufficient quantities to ben
eft us much. Many people have be-
come skeptical on this account, and
while some have gone heroically to
work to make the best Of our natural
advantages, many are still waiting and
will wait until their opportunities
shall have come and gone, and they
will still be empty handed. There is
not any doubt about the fact that cap
ital is now coming, and will continue
to come South in larger volume, year
after year, from now on, because the
South is the best field in the United
States for profitable investment. The
Atlanta Exposition did immense good
in drawing attention to the natural
advantages of the South, and the
Nashville Exposition will do still
greater good when it is held. Mr.. J.
0. Canton, who is far-seeing and an
enterprising man, who has had long
experience in railroad building, said
in an interview at Chattanooga, the
other day; "Well, I am working very
hard at present for the West, but it
is dead. Ny Syndicate is now build
ing a railroad from Portland to AS
toria, Oregon, which will cost about 49,,
900, 900. The line will be about 11O
miles long. The West is a dead card
there is no life there. All of the cap.
italists now say that their money will
not go West again and that the next
boom from the East will come South.
I honestly think this, and do not say
It because I think it will please the
people of this section, as that is moth
ing to me. The South is the place
and more money will be spent on i
before long than has ever come thi
way before"

A new State Capitol is building at
Olympia, Wash, and, as far as posi-
bic, learns the New York San, no ma
terial except that produced In tho
State is to be used in its construction.
In the matter of lumber, for whatever
purpose, only such as is grown in
Washington is to be used. There was
considerable fuss a few days ago over
the allegation that some Eastern oak
was to be used for certain parts of the
building. The Governor fastened to
assure the agitated people Of the State
that the rumor was unfounded.

Already new uses for the myster-
ious x rays of the vacuum tube are
suggested, apart from the picturing
of objects invisible to the naked eye.
One hint, which seems particularly
promising, is that they may serve to
destroy bacteria. It has long been
known that sunlight is a potent de-
stroyer of nozious germs, and the
general belief is that it is the actinie
rays that chiefly have such action.
Now, if the K rays are merely the in
visible ultraviolet rays of the
spectrum, they are probably the most
actinic of all. Indeed, that is indica-
ted by their effect upon Photographic
plates. Then they may prove to be
powerful 'germicide agents, and it
may be needful only to pass them
through the human body to destroy
all the noxious bacteria in the most
remote and inaccessible tissues. OF
course that is mere speculation. But
in these days it is rash to say any.
thing is impossible.

Nav Use ior Alarm RaIIs

The use Of alarm bells on bicycles
and gongs on street cars has been
taken up by another vehicle not pecu-
liarly common to the thoroughfares
of Gotham. The perambulator, or in
valid's chair, now carries a bell. An
invalid was seen by Mail and Ex-
press reporter wheeled along West
street in one Of these chairs and, when
about to cross over the invalid pressed
a lever and bell began to ring as q
warning to an approaching truck.
The driver heard the bell and refined
in his steeds, but there was a smile
spread all over his face which seemed
20 indicate his approval Of the peram-
bulator.

The Kick Of Thirteen.Inch Gun.


Some time ago the English Govern
ment experimental with a thirteen
inch gun on q ship of the Royal Sow
ereign class. At the first firing of the
gun the entire upper deck was lifted
from its position and sprung along
its entire centre, 80 terrible was the
shock. The United States battleship
Indinna has been specially equipped
to provide against any such disaster
and her decks have been constructed
in such q manner that naval experts
agree that no such damage can befall
her when the thirteen-inch guns send
out their flaming message.
Naval experts are agreed, however,
that when she is in action and the four
thirteen-inoh guns are performing
their deadly work the explosions viii
shatter and destroy every piece Of
woodwork and glass in every portion
of the vessel. That is expected and
prepared for and for that reason the
battleship Indiana is composed almost
entirely of iron aud steel. She has
been aptly described as an enormous
floating steel fort with ship built
around it for purposes of navigation.
Fully one-half Of her could be shot
away and she would still float and re-
tain her uuequalled fighting power.
These facts and figures should bring
us to a realization of what a serious
thing war is in these modern times. ~

The gold outfit who claim to
be Democrats, have met and put
up Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
for president, and some fellow
down in Kentucky by the name
of Buckner, for vice-president.
They will not carry a State in
the Union. 1t will help Bryan.
Palmer is the old traitor who was
elected to the United States Sen
ate from Illinois, by two Farmer
Alliance men who made him
pledge himself to silver. He is
an old traitor and renegade and
is not worthy to hold the office
of dog pelter. He is Democrat
of the Cleveland stripe.

Yes, we have heard from Yer
mont, also Arkansas. The silver
men made no fight in the Green
Mountain State. 1t is of little
consequence. 1t has always been
strongly Republican and always
will be, besides Hanna's sack
was opened in the recent election
there. Is Christ were to run on
any other than the Republican
ticket in that State he would be
defeated. They know nothing
but Republicanism there, and yet
it is one of the States that has
for years been decreasing in
population. The silver men will
lose no sleep over Vermont. But
how about Arkansas ? Some of
the goldbugs claimed it, but just
the other day the silver men car
ried it by 60, majority, a gain
of 80, 900 votes in two years. The
''silver craze is dying out says

has still had an extended experience as
oreign missionary, teacher. editor, lecturer
md pastor that has given him wide ac-

In an interview few days age he said:

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-09-22

We are in receipt of number
of clippings and written articles
ON the subject of equal s. ffrage,
which we would publ b f We
had space. We have not. But
in lieu thereof we will try to give
encouragement to subject that
all political parties our state have
seen fit to endorse, in as brief
and plain manner as possible.
1t is our opinion that these par
ties have done right. We are of
the opinion whatever is a protec-
ton for a man is protection to
woman; that if a man feels
more independent by having the
power to help make the laws that
govern him and tax his wealth
to support the government under
which he lives; that woman
would enjoy the same privilege,
and that it would be blessing
to her the same as it has been to
man; and that every step taken
in that direction, in her behalf,
will operate to enliven and cheer
her life. 1t has acted in that di-
rection for man. We well rem
ember, when a small boy, how
hopeful were man in the thought
of becoming freemen. Oily the
select few then, could vote. 1t
was boon to become a yoter-a
freeman. For that permission
men were happier, more hopeful,
more energetic, studious and
wiser. Nature is tae same in all
the human family. 1t would
render women more cheerful,
more hopeful, more Independent,
happier and more satisfied with
all the trials and tolls of life.
What, we ask any natural phil
osopher, would be the result ap-
ON the human race What boys
will be brightest, those of moth
ers who live in poverty or plen
| ty +? Those of mothers who are
we'll fed or of those who are
starved +? Those originating
from poverty or those who are
born of plenty and thrift. The
simplest can see the distinction.
1t is the common saying of life
of a talented young man,-''yes,
but he had achance. The great
est chance cur friends will learn
as they study profoundly the
laws of life from its incipiency,
is to be born of a free, happy,
independent, self-reliant father
and mother. Drudgery, humii-
alton, dependence, servility,
thoughts of infeIiority. and life
of secondary consideration, never
have-never will produce the
best class of men. The nearer a
slave the mother, the more infer
ior the race of men. Happiness
and greatness go hand in hand
in the human family not less than
in the brute creation. And Am
orleans must learn that not only
is this measure just, but that
upon the elevation of woman TO
her highest standard of intellig-
ence, hopefulness and self-reli-
ance, rests the superiority of our
race and nation. Let us vote to
lift her up.
We have articles sent us from
the pen of Selden B. Kingsbury,
Hamilton Wilcox. Judge Sui
Ivan. w. S. HARDWOOD, besides a
number of able newspaper artic-
les showing the reasons for and
: the good effects of equal suffrage.
