THE FAITHFUL RAGGLEs.
How an Indian Pony Won HOnOra-
BILE Distinction.
From Good Housekeeping.


Raggles was only a scrubby little Indian
pony. His owner had evidently considered
him of no use and had cruelty turned him
loose on the bare prairie. He was sorry
looking little fellow as he stood one morn
ing at the gate to Mr.. Hudson's large cat
tie ranch, shivering IN the wind and look
ing with a wistful gaze at the sleek, fat
ponies inside.
Mr.. Hudson noticed him and started TO
drive him away. But his little daughter
Lillian said. Let him in. papa, he looks
so hungry" Mr.. Hudson opened the gate
and the pony walked in just as If it were
his home.
Mr.. Hudson made inquiries. but no one
knew anything about him, so Lillian claim
ed him as her special property and named
him Raggles on account of his long, tan
gled name and tail. He was a docile little
creature, unlike the rest Of the ponies on
the farm. He soon came to regard Lillian
as his mistress. She learned to ride him
and could often be seen canterlng over the
prairies.
But Raggles seemed to consider that she
was not much of a rider for ne would care
fully avoid all the dangerous looking
places and holes in the ground made by
coyotes and prairie dogs. When the next
spring came Raggles did not look like the
same little scrub. His rusty brown coat
had all come off and a new black one had
taken its place.
BY the next fall the neighborhood could
boast of a public school, and when Lillian
began to go, Raggles found he had regu-
lar duty every day. Lillian would saddle
him and ride to the school house, two
miles away, then tie up his bride and
send him home. At about $3.50 Mr.. Hud-
son would saddle him again and send him
for Lillian. He always arrived on time
and II he was early would wait patiently
by the door until school closed.
some readers Will remember the bliZ-
card that struck Western Kansas in 1886
when so many people lost their lives and
thousands of cattle were frozen to death.
The storm commenced about noon, and
the weather grew steadily colder. The
snow blew so thick and fast that Mrs
Hudson was afraid to trust Raggles to go
for Lillian, but Mr.. Hudson was sick and
there was no one else.
She went to the barn, put the saddle on
him and tied plenty of warm wraps on
Then she threw her arms around his shay
gy neck and told him to be sure and bring
Lillian home. He seemd to understand.
and started out with his stumbling trot
in the direction of the school house. One
hour passed slowly to the anxious par
nets. When two sad hours had passed
their anxiety was terrible as they strain
ed their eyes to see through the binding
snow his shaggy form bringing their dar-
ling safely home. At last he came with
Lillian on his back. bundled up from head
to foot. The teacher had fastened her
on the pony and given him the rein; and
so he had brought her safely home, none
the worse for her ride, except being thor
oughly chilled.

gathering Of Republican workingmen
of Cleveland. The committee said they
wanted to consult Gov. McKinley's best

forgetful of the fact that he had de-
cl1ned invitations to speak elsewhere.
He replied to them that he did not like
to discriminate in favor of his own
state. He said If he spoke anywhere
nothing could give him more pleasure
than to speak to the workingmen, 1t
is understood that Maj. Mckinley has
positively declined to be present at
the Milwaukee meeting of the National

holds here among his friends that he
would not address any strictly political
gathering during the campaign.

EXETER, N H. Aug. 15.-Brig. Gen. A.
W. Greeley, in anp interview tonight in re-
gard to the Nansen expedition, said that the
reports thus far published were as yet too
meager to form an opinion. Gen. Greeley
said: Sc z
hansen apparently wintered on Franz Josef
Land. and he says he saw no land north of
81 degrees. The Journey was one of extreme
danger, and 1t is most remarkable that he
returned alive. According to the reports
land reached by my expedition is the most
northerly land yet attained, as Nansen's most
northern point is at sea. He went just two
degrees and 81 minutes further north than did
lockwood and Brainard, of my expedition, in
1882. When Nansen's observations are worked
out they will pove his explorations and will
also make interesting reading. Every ex-
plorer should be given credit for having made
truthful report.
Gen. Greeley said that notwithstanding
cent deductions show that there is land near
that point. but that 1t is north Of North
America rather than Siberia He added:
Apparently Nansen Travelled only 12o miles
less than half the distance that Lockwood
and Brainerd travelled from the Headquarters
Of my expedition at Lady Franklin bay, but
20 say wory Of the maj aid
race. think the expedition will disappoint
those who believe that Franz Josef Land ex-
tends to the pole MY predictions of some
months ago that Nansen's safe return lay in
the possibility that he would make and win
ter in Franz Josef Land seems to have been
verified.
AS to the possibility Of the Fran drift
ing to Spftzbergen. Gen. Greeley said that
the sea drift was In that direction but that
the Jeanette and Tegethopp were both lost
In this sea byc the action of the ice. Gen.
Greeley placed little dependence upon the re-
ported discovery OF great depth and warmer
water. In conclusion Mr.. Greeley BALD that
he was convinced that IL hansen had not met
jackson he would meyer have returned.

HoREJs BROS. BARN BURNS.
Thfrty-Five Horses Perish In the
Flames


Fire completely destroyed the large
barn owned and occupied by Horeis
Bros. on Armstrong street, near West
Seventh street, at o'clock this morn
ing. Thirty-four horses were burned.
together with twelve delivery wagons,
five carriages, thirty tons of hay and
three thousands bushels of oats
The fire was first noticed by two
young men who live in the neighbor-
hood, and were returning home from
dance. An alarm was turned in
from box 519, at the corner Of Lee and
West Seventh streets, but before the
department reached the scene the en-
tire structure was in a blaze. The
building was a large one, being one
hundred and forty feet long, and fifty
feet wide, and story and a half in
height. There were thirty-f1ve horses
In the barn and only one of the ami
mails was saved from the flames.
The cries of the beasts as they were
slowly roasted to death was something
horrible, and the smell from the roast
ing flesh was so nauseating that the
fire-men could hardly fight the fire. 1t
was seen as soon as the department
reached the ground that there was but
little chance to do anything toward
saving the barn and attention was at
once turned to the large brick factory
which stands close to the barn BY
hard work the firemen prevented the
fire from spreading to any Of the other
buildings, but the barn was complete
ly destroyed.
The firm owning the building which
was burned Is one Of the largest Of it's
kind in the city and have three stores.

horses and contents is estimated at
$1,000, on which there is a partial in
surance. The origin of the fire is un-
known.

TWO FRANCHISES ARE LIKELY TO
BE TAXED FOR CITY REEVE
NUES.
GARD OF EQUALIZATION
is PIQUED AT THE FAILURE OF
THESE COMPANIES TO MAKE
RETURNS.
ASSESSMENTS WILL BE LARGE
If the Majority of the Board Carrier
Out Its Decision in the
Matter.

Shall the franchises of the Street
Railway company and the ST Paul
Gas Light company be taxed. is the
question that now confronts the st.
Paul board of equalization. The board
encountered this question when the
two corporations came before it for
consideration.
The return made by the Street Rail-
way company indicated that it pos
sessed about 100000 worth of property
in this city. The column headed by
the word franchises" was blank, but
under the head of what is known as
Item 81" appeared the figures $175.-
900.
q The return Of the St. Paul Gas Light
company did not include the fran
chise of that company. 1t stated that
the total value Of the company's as
sessable property amounted to $685.
940
The board Of equalization, after dis
cussing the question of taxing fran
chises. finally referred the matter to a
special committee which met last night
in the county auditors office, for set
Element. The committee consisted OF
Assemblymen Thompson and Krah-
mer. Ald.saBigelow.2lC County Commits
sioner Wright County Assessor Sene
and County Attorney Butler. Messrs.
Wright and Butler did not attend tha
meeting.
The committee was in session until
nearly Ill p. m, but it did not take
any action, though a report will prob
ably be submitted to the board of
equalization at an executive session To
be held tomorrow.
1t was the sentiment of the commit
tee, however, that the franchises of
the two companies were assessabIe for
taxation. Aid. Bigelow alone con-
tended that under the law the fran
chises were not taxable.
The committee came to the conclusion
that the franchise of the street railway
company was worth $450,00O or $500 900
They also thought that the trackape
should be valued at $500, OCO instead OF
$ifo,OoO. In short the committee be-
neVed that the total value Of the street
railway company's property should be
$l,3O0,0OO including it's franchise. in
stead of 100000. the amount specified
In the companys return.
Inc committee was also of the opinion
That the franchise of the ST. Paul Gas
Light company was worth $3.50, 900. and
that that amount should be added 70
the company's return which stated the
value of it's property to be $3.50, $40. The
committee likewise thought that the
item of $4,000 for all other property
and machinery should be raised to
$4,000, making total assessment Of
over 5000, 600
AS already stated, the committee took
no formal action, but the board of
equalization at it's meeting tomorrow
will arrive at decision, as it has been
holding daily sessions for the past
month, which is the limit of the period
during which it meets.

JONES GETS BACK.
Mr.. Bryan's Manager Once More at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Jones, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee arrived in Washing
ton today. He went at once to the
headquarters of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, and
was busy all the forenoon with CORES
pondence and kilograms, besides seeing
the more prominent Democratic ar
rivals in the city. He was not ready
to announce the executive committee
or to state what decision had been
reached regarding national headquar-
tiers. 1t is known, however, that the
determination has been reached to To-
cate the main headquarters at Chicago.
There will be maintained in Washing
ton, branch headquarters, working
in connection with the congressional
campaign committee, which will attend
to sending out all the necessary litera-
ture and will work also in connection
with such other campaign committees
as may be established here and are in
terested in the success of Mr. Bryan
The pressure from the West to have
the headquarters In Chicago have been
more than the committee and the cam
paign manager could withstand 1t
has been pointed out that the Republi-
can headquarters are practically in
Chicago and that the hard fighting
during the campaign will be in the
West.

PLANT OF A MOTHER.
She May Not Call Upon Her Married
Daughter.

Mrs. Doherty, Of South Franklin
street, called at the central police sta
tion yesterday and requested than an
officer be sent with her. Asked the
whyfore, she said that she wanted to
see her daughter, who some months
ago married James B. Cowan.. Mrs.
Doherty said that when she visited the
Cowan residence to see her daughter
she was unable to gain an entrance.
but was obliged to talk to her from the
sidewalk. Her daughter would only
say Mother go away and this from
a window in the second story of the
house The officials at the central
station listened to the tale, but were
unable to render Mrs. Doherty any as
sistance, as a rule Of the department
Is to the effect that members of the
force are not allowed to interfere in
family matters unless a warrant has
been procured.
1t is understood the trouble, If it
might be called that, which bars Mrs.
Doherty from close communication
with her daughter, is owing to a differ
ence in religious views, the daughter
having espoused the faith and church
which her husband is connected with.
