The most durable carpet ever woven
was undoubtedly the old rag carpet

Also much nor durable. It was o
necessary to shut ont the sun from the
room carpeted with the rag carpet, be-
aus its colors were of honest dye and

is always a safe rule to choose a carpet

pattern wears much better than a re-

In order to be durable, let the pattern

A wool ingram carpet of the best quail
" IS a far better, more satisfactory
choice than a cheap tapestry, which is
sold at the same price. The old-fash-
toned three-ply carpet is no longer
made. The heavy ingram, which takes
its place, is more durable because it
remains i'll good condition as long as it
lasts, while the upper surface of the
three-ply wears off, leaving the carpet
shabby, though it be still whole. The
next choice to an ingram is a first quail

of heavy surface, but one woven
through to the back. OF late years
some manufacturers of tapestry have
dyed their carpets on the back so as
to make the superficial observer believe
they are woven through, but such a
shallow device should deceive no one.
1t must be said that there has been a
marked improvement in the manufac-
ture of velvet carpets i'll recent years,
so that some of these are almost as
durable as inferior Wiltons. The vel
vet carpet, it should be remembered,
is a tapestry carpet, woven in heavy
frame, and the loops of the surface are
cut to produce the velvet surface. A
Wilton carpet is heavy Brussels, in
which the loops Of the surface are cut.
The m%oquette carpet has a heavy plush
like surface, but it is not as durable
as Wilton or velvet, though it is cheaper
than a Wilton.-N. Y. Tribune.

5000 Feet Above the Clouds.

Nearly three miles above the sea, and
5000 feet above til white, silent clouds
that lie in a sweeping plain beneath you,
is something to think about time and
time afterwards, isn't it.
In the summer of 1894, tne Passenger
Department of the Northern Pacific Rail
road fitted out an expedition to climb the
highest mountain south OF the Canadian
boundry on the North Pacific coast, and
the grandest peak in the United States
Mount Rainier or Tocoma. The party
reached the highestpoint OF the mountain,
after long and dangerous climb over
rocks and snow and glaciers that were
gashed by crevasses, and returned in Gaf-
ETY. This magnificent peak is between
IA 600 and Is, 600 feet high, and indeed
may be found in the future to be over Is,
600 feet. or nearly three miles III height

He Shows Courtsey To Jerry and Got the

ny Simpsons meeting at that point:

LLOYD Is INDEPENDENT
He Avoided Obligations IN Going Into HIS
His Office.

County Treasurer Morris Lloyd has
set an example 10 ali county treasurers
in the future. Heretofore treasurers
when elected had 10 call upon their
friends to go on their bonds. and thus
became obligated, politically and other
wise, to them. Mr.. Lloyd is probably
as we'll able TO give a bond as any man
in the county, but instead of getting his
peighbors to help him out he went d.
rect TO a surety company, had them
TO go on his bond for $4,000 and FOR
their accommodation he pays them
$3.50 a year. BY this means he is not
under obligations to anybody. The
bond of a surety company is considered
10y county commissioners much better
than the bond of individuals, and tina.
is the reason Mr. Lloyd's bond was re-
duced from S10o, 900 to $4,000. In Reno
county the treasurer gave surety
BOND for s25, 900. whereas if he gave
a. citizens bond it would be 100000. "A
large bond is not required in this coua-
ty. according to the business methods
pursued. The county commissioners
name certain banks as county daposito-
ries. and these banks will have to give
bond for the safety of the funds. By
this means if the bank breaks the coun-
ty treasurer is not responsible for the
loss There is no object then in put
ting a treasurer under bond except
stealing, and treasurer can't stea,
much. even if he is so inclined. Mr..
Lloyd says that he wouldn't know how
TO steal if he wanted TO. Every check
he gives on the bank of deposit must
go through the hands OF the county
clerk and be signed by him. He keeps
track OF everything. or in other words
he walks at the heels of the county
treasurer. wha tever movements he
makes. with pen aid ink. Then again.
Under a surety bond. the treasurer is
watched closely by the surety company.

WAS A STRANGE LETTER
Chief Burt Received u Weird Document
From Kansas CITY

Chief of Police Burt received one of
the strangest documents through the
mail yesterday that it is ones privilege
to come across. 1t was from a woman,
as near as could be surmised. whose
name is Sarah Ellis of Kansas City. Mo-
Ii began upon small letter paper written
on both sides and then went &c fools
cap. and this latter gave place to leaves
taken from some old daybook. and fin
ally ending in paper about the size Of
foolscap, but unruled.
The communication was an exceed
inely lengthy one. being about twenty
four pages long. Every sheet wsas writ
ten upon both sides, and in very pc
cuiiar hand, which indicated that its
author was person of very neaere
ecucatfon. 1t was extremely difficult
10 read, Doth on account of its poorly
formed letters and because of the dis
connected manner in which II was put
together. Very ambiguous was the
letter in some parts and all through
TT the meaning was too obso-
lete, even TO be understood by any one
who had the nerve to encounter II
Harry Sutton seemed to be the con-
noiseur upon reading ii. but as IN tho
OBJECT in writing it to the police head
quarters of this city nothing could b.
ina gined.
OF the contents of the letter only a
traernentary synopsis can be given. II
began by stating that people were be-
ing murdered in Kansas City by the
thousands and that il has baffled all
the skill Of the physicians 1t stated
that some powders were kept in the
drug stores which were purchased and
given 10 people, who soon after were
taken sick. When a physician was call
ed they knew nothing of what the trou-
bic was The person died as certainly
as they took the powders Nothing was
stated as to who bought the powders or
TO whom they Were given
The letter then charged one Julia
Jones OF being a witch woman" and
devoted several pages TO the power Of
witch, ascrIbing TO her the power 10
do almost anything 10 make the well
sick. 10 compel mS1 and women to
marry persons whom they did not de-
sire 10 and a great number OF other
things. II began with a virulent con-
DENIM alton of the witch Julia jones.
and her methods, but ended in a con
siiatory tone as though the writer fear
ed the result OF the former expressions
AT later part Of the communication
were told the nature OF one or two
dreams which the writer had. one OF

and Oklahoma City, both included, our
road has received for transportation
10000 bales this year. There are about
500 pounds in a bale, and it averages
s35 so you see that cotton alone has
brought nearly half a million dollars to
the farmers Of that section. Cotton
is one of the most profitable crops OF
agriculture. One acre produces from
SIG to $50 worth of it annually. 1t -four
ihses in hot weather when wheat and
cocrn die.
Few people know that cotton has
been grown in southern Kansas Down
in Barber county years ago it was tried
by one individual and it yielded well.
Why it was not cultivated more extern
siveiy is not known. except. perhaps,
that northern men did not know much
about its cultivation"
