years. There is a slight upward ten dency just now and we do not think the present prices will be broken if the marketing throughout the country is done judiciously Occasional jams may occur and paralyze the market temporarily, but if cattlemen have their business well in hand they will be able to prevent these breaks, which are almost unavoidable, from becoming permanent The market is fully one dollar per hundred lower than 1t was one year ago and cattle-owners are in no condition to stand a further decline. There is little hope for prices to ir1- prove, but there is danger of a further decline. It is true the present figures have prevailed for the past six months, and since the pressure of the spring beef, cornfed, did rot break them, they ought to stand the grass cattle, but a little injudicicus management would run the price very low. Our chief reli- ance, however, for keeping up the pres ent figures Is in the good Judgment of the cattlemen. If the market should break seriously thousands of fat steers would be held over. The range is good and an immense crop of hay is being put up and the country will be in good shape to carry live stock through the winter, and this is our chief reliance for holding the present figures.-Sioux Stock Journal.

It is not expected that many Indians will become professional or business men, but it Is believed that they can De taught to be fairly good farmers and stockraisers. Gradually the lands of the tribes are being apportioned in severalty, and the tribal relationships broken up. Where the lands are fit for agriculture, the Indians are given i'm plements, wagons, and seed They are aided in the construction of houses, and then allotments are fenced. In the dry districts where stock raising only is possible, few head of cattle are given each Indian, and the sale of the stock is prohibited until they have a certain number This plan has worked quite satisfactorily on the Sioux lands When g. contract for beef has been awarded, and purchases under 1t are to be made, the Indians are invited to sell surplus cattle to the government at the con- tract price. Not long ago at the Pine Ridge agency, 600 head of cattle were bought from Indians on these terms, and the red cattlemen were naturally much pleased with their success as stock raisers. I believe the Indian problem will work itself out in this way. The solution will take time, but the day is coming when the distrbu- tion of rations will cease and the Indi- an will no longer be ward of the na- tion.-Salt Lake Tribune.

JUSTICE IN ALABAMA,

A Jacksonville broker, while travel ing in the Alabama mountains, was in- vited by d friend, 8 local judge, to att tend the trial of cracker" for shoot ing darlsey, and the prisoner having no money to hire a lawyer, the judge appointed the broker to defend him, alleging that the broker was not law yer, The was an idiot because he wasn't one"--a judgment amply supported by his conduct of the case. The broker cross-e examined the witnesses briefly, sending in now and then a. discomfit- ting trajectory. When he came to make a speech, he said:
 Gentlemen of the jury, I have taken great pains to show you that my client was a respectable citizen. Ten witness es have asserted--on oath, mind you that he stands high in his community" The defendant was six feet three inch es tall, and the jury smiled. He stood high in his community and that is suf- ficient. Now for the law. We find in the thirtieth verse of the sixteenth chapter of 'Chitty on Pleadings'-Chit- ty, gentlemen, was one of the bravest generals in the Confederate army-this well-established principle of law. 2 Here the broker adjusts his glasses, holds the book far off, elevates his chin, and reads: No respectable white man can be guilty of crime. the case in your hands"
 That, gentlemen, Is enough, I leave the case in your hands"
 Each juror changed his quid, looked at his neighbor, nodded, and, without leaving their sets, rendered loud and emphatic verdict of Not guilty" and then joined in three cheers for the de- fendant and his lawy8.-Argonaut.

 CAR ADVERTISING.

The heart of the Rev. MT. Jenkins re- joices. For a long time it has been troubled with the thought that the advertisements on the window of buses and tramcars obscured the view of passengers desirous of seeing our masterpieces of architecture, such as the Griffin, the 0beiisk at St. Georges circus, or Kings Cross station, and fre- quently and unnecessarily has he prosecuted companies and conductors for allowing them to be there. Last night he was in great gladness of spir- it, for Sir Matthew White Ridley, the home secretary, has made an order which will come into force on Tues day next, a section of which reads as follows: That the proprietor of any stage carriage shall not suffer any printed, written, or other matter to ap- pear on the outside or the inside of any such carriage by way of advertise ment, except such, if any, as shall be approved by the commissioner of po- lice" The reverend gentleman ex- presses qualification at this enactment, and declares that his action was from the first instigated by a desire to serve the public.--London Telegraph

prNNsr1vANIA VARYING UP.

IT sf
 The good roads movement is making encouraging headway, It is making itself felt in Pennsylvania, where John Hamilton, deputy secretary of agrlcul- ture and director of farmers institutes, is leading 0 movement for q reform along the lines followed by New Jer- sey, Massachusetts and Connecticut. FIc is in favor however, of changing present plans so ps to make all road ways in sparsely settled districts not move than seven feet wide with six and one-half inches thickness of broken stone on it's surface. Briefly stated, his plans are to regrade the road so as to have it high enough for drainage purposes and when, in a years time, the earth has become thoroughly com- pacted, smooth it over with road machine and put down the stone paw ing. The stone is to be laid In the middle of the old road and given trans verse slopes not exceeding one and one-half to two inches in a yard As this stone must form compact and impermeable mass to protect the soil below it, 1t is necessary that the stone be broken small, not exceeding one and one-half inches in greatest dimen- sion. Taking the cost of the stone at nine or ten cents a cubic yard before crushing, he estimates that stone can be crushed for eighteen cents a yard, the broken stone can be put down on the roads at points not more than one mile from the crusher at thirty-e eight cents per yard, making the total cost sixty-five cents per yard, or about $500 per mile for the dimensions named. Maintaining the present expenditure of about s49 per mile, this would allow the roads to be paved in about ten years

BULGARIAN FRONTIER GUARD
 EyPT OITS

The Homeric achievements of the Bull garian frontier guards are in fair way to be proverbial. A few weeks ago Bulgarian official agency report ed terrific but fortunately bloodless encounter in which a greatly superior Turkish force, which was alleged 10 have violated Bulgarian territory, re- tired before these frontier guards. Sim liar reports by the same agency reach ed here to-day. It is thought that there must be a mistake somewhere. In deed, some people wonder whether this may be not an attempt on the part of the Bulgarians to attribute to others that which they have done or intend to do themselves. The Ottoman govern ment is very much occupied at present, but the time seems to be rapidly ap- preaching when it will be able to de- vote more attention to the affairs in the Balkans. Possibly the Bulgarians consider that the opportunity afforded by this interval should not be lost Correspondence London Times.

CALCULATING BRkAN'S ECLIPSE.
 Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio is a great mathematician. He showed that in the way he calculated the total eclipse of all the booms but McKin- ley's. When he began to put out his figures before the St. Louis convention some thought he was only a guesser, and a wild guesser at that But as time went on he grew more and more certain and impressive until the result amply proved that he knew how to "ci- pher" with skill and accuracy. Now he has begun to figure on what will happen election day, and the reputation he has acquired will lend force to his figuring. Of course he finds that Me Kinley will be elected, just as he found that he would be nominated He claims for him sure total of PTS electoral votes. He counts for him all the New England States, all the Middle States, together with Maryland West Virginia and Kentucky the entire middle West, and South Dakota, Oregon and Wash ington. He classes Kansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota and Wy oming, with total of 35 electoral votes, as doubtful; places Louisiana, Tennes- see, Missouri, Texas and Virginia, with a total of 64 votes, within the line of possibility" and comedies to Bryan and Sewall or Bryan and Watson only Ala bama. Arkansas, Colorado, Florida. Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi. Montana, Nevada, South Carolina and Utah.
 This is reasonable figuring. We should take Nebraska out of the doubt ful column and put it in the Mckinley column. but there will be enough with out it.

is lack of school room, and deh- ciency in the appropriation to pay for a census of the children and for the ascertainment of the fact as to how many enumerated children do not at- tend school. It was known at the date Of the passage of she law that the Phil adelphia schoolhouses could not accom- modate the children of school age, but nothing was done to remedy the de- aclSncy. A conservative estimate of the number Of ehildrNp out of school is 9J00, and this number would be very much larger but for the fac. that the Catholic psrochial schools care for about 5000 children. In addition to the number crowded out, more than 1000 children are permitted to attend only one school session each day.
 The Philadelphia Record says that the late Charles l.. Chapin, the old time telegrapher, was probably the dis coverer of the modern method of read ing telegraph messages by sound. It occurred to him while in charge cf Cornell's line from New York to Erie, that the sounds made by the instru ment for each separate letter were as distinctive as the letters on the dial. By careful study he enabled himself to read messages altogether by sound, and one day he surprised some of the operators under him. They had been in the habit of sending private mes sages over the wire, and it was in- possible to stop them. Finally an op- orator down the line somewhere tried to work an old trick of his and get ex- cused for days fishing. He tele- graphed to the operator in MT. Chapin's office, asking to get MT. Chapin to let him of. MT. Chapin was sitting with his back to the instrument when the message came in, and, without turning around, he said to the operator: "Tell him no.' The man was so surprised that he almost fell off his chair. Even- tually MT. Chapin divulged his secret, and in time the knack of reading by sound became generally known. Now it is used entirely.

THE PROGRESS or 4 GREAT CAUSE.
 The progress of a great cause is often slow. Another attempt to make wo- man member of New Haven's Board of Education has failed, and the mourners go about the streets. They can, however, find a little consolation in the fact that the woman candidate gains from year to year. In 1894 she got 1420 votes. Last year she got TIA. Yesterday she got 2387, which was quite jump. It will also console the mourn CTS to see that the gain continues to come more from considerate though
 proud Man than from ambitious, pub
 lic-spirited Woman, because it is evil dent that unless there Is g. decided change in Woman in this neighborhood she will not soon be ambitious and public-spirited enough to elect a mem Der of the Board by her own unaided vote. In 1894, only 573 women voted
 In 1895 there were 549, and yesterday there were 655. In the sweet though distant by and by there may be men enough who will vote for woman to elect her. Until then there Is nothing for those who are committed to the great cause to do but to agitate, and if they can agitate without sputtering a grateful community will appreciate 1t. In the old arithmetics there was saddening problem which dealt with the efforts of a frog to get out of a well. The idea was that if he jumped up so much and fell back so much how soon would he get out of the we'll? In the educational problem which was dealt with once more yesterday there hasn't yet been any falling back to .complicate matters. Until there is it will perhaps be safe to figure on clear gain at every jump. Of course we ! don't mean to convey the idea that the onward movements of a great cause are like the efforts of frog to jump
 out of 8 well. An, no. They are more like the efforts of truth to get out of a well, are they not?

INDIANS AS STOCK RAIsERs.

Judge D. NJ. Browning, commission CT of Indians affairs, has been visiting a number of the coast Indian agencies, and came to Salt Lake from the Fort Hall reservation.
 My observations on this tour and the experience of the bureau generally show that the Indian service is im- proving" the commissioner says. "The government is endeavoring as far as possible, and as far as treaty stipulations will permit, to make the Indian self-supporting. Of course, the task is difficult one and many failures must result before the desired condi- tions are brought about. but we are satisfied with the progress being made.

dress stuff to which the body is shirred. It is made of ungored breadths and is gathered in the waist with drawstrings. The bottom is turned up into a deep hem, and the sleeves consist of double puffs ending in narrow frill. At the top there is a dainty collar of white cambric with Hamburg edging and in- sertion. A bright red woollen stuff would do nicely for this dress, and would probably please it's tiny wearer, whose taste for gay colors is likely to be pronounced.
 Little girls are still frequently seen dressed in fresh wash white It is pretty and seems suitable, but it means that the little maid must either be kept very still, which isn't good for her. or that she must be dressed doz- en or so times day, and that isn't good for her CT for her caretakers. It is more sensible to feel that the little tot isn't on exhibition, and to dress her just for comfort. This leaning toward sensible methods has had the effect in recent years of lengthening little girls skirts bit, but they could stand a still further extension, and it is not un- common to see little knees barred dreadfully. Usually, however, the rea- son for this lies in the child and not with the mother, because the tot grows so fast that there's no keeping her slightly. By the time the child is in her teens, there comes a sudden dip of pet ticoats to only little above the shoe tops. Then as soon as it is safe to make her skirts without a wide hem at the bottom to allow for her growth. she takes still longer one and can begin to dream of trains. FLORETTE.
