A RAILROAD YEAR.

Indications are multiplying which
point to next year as one of railroad
building. The centers of activity in this
line will be in the southwest and north
west.
BY way of encouraging railroad en-
terprises, Arizona has provided by law
for the exemption from taxation of all
new roads, work upon which shall be
commenced within one year from the
date of the act. The result of this lib
eraI policy has been that there has
been rush at the Office of the terrific
rial secretary where charters are fled.
The projected roads are not transcon-
tinehtal lines nor enterprises destined
to revolutionize the carrying trade of
the country, but are mostly short lines
giving transportation facilities to points
that need them, and therefore likely to
be completed.
Arizona comprises a region of large
and varied resources, susceptible of
great development. 1t contains evil
dences Of at some time having sustain
ed a large population. There is no good
reason why it should not do so again.
It is evident that in the northwest
there is to be an effort to penetrate
Alaska with one or more rail lines.
Many roads from various points are al
ready projected
An all rail line from New York to
Paris is probably not far distant. It's
feasibility has been reasonably well es-
tablished. The Siberian railway with
its terminus at Behring strait is rap
idly nearing completion. The body of
water which separates Asia from North
America is but a few miles in width
and is filed with numerous islands.
American capitalists will not long per
nit such an opportunity for enterprise
to remain neglected.
There may not be much railroad
building in Kansas in the immediate
future, but the state is in a position to
be benefited by the development of the
regions referred to. Much of the traf-
fic between the east and the west must
pass through her territory. Situated as
she is, almost in the geographical CEN
ter of the country, she possesses an ad-
vantage of being able to reach out for
markets in all directions. Development
of the country in any direction can
scarcely fail to help Kansas industry
and Kansas markets.

BRIGHT FOR EDMUNDs.
z. G. Man Charged With the Pixies
Peak Murder Not Identified.

Colorado Springs, Sept 1O-The
chances today are that J. B. Edmunds
who was brought back from Kansas
City by Sheriff Boynton on a charge of
having murdered H. H. Kay on Pixies
peak on August 29, will be turned loose
within a few days.
The sheriff is understood to have been
depending very largely upon the testi-
mony of three young ladies who saw
Kay and another young man ascending
the peak early on the morning of the
day of the murder, and who thought
they could identify the murdered mans s
companion. When confronted by Ed
munds today they were unable to say
whether he was the man or not. Sheriff
Boynton claims to have a witness who
saw Edmunds in Colorado Springs on
the day of the murder, three days after
he claims to have left there The Of
witness.

What the Globe means by "reputa-

vertising. Every time that a physi-

THE TINIEST HORSE.
Shetland No Bigger Than a St. Ber-
nard Dog Coming Here for the
Horse Show

Boston, Sept 10.-The tiniest horse in
the world is only 21 inches in height
and is the property of the Marchese
Carcano, a celebrated nobleman horse
fancier, whose four-in-hand of small
Shetland ponies have taken first prizes
at every horse fair in Europe for four
or five years.
The owner of this little horse has put
him on exhibition at the fashionable
ly, at which the Shetland ponies of
Queen Victoria are also in attendance.
The MarcheSe Carcano told the Rome
correspondent of the New York World
that he is about to make a tour of the
world with his team of Shetland ponies
and will also take with him the smallest
horse, Leo, which has won the gold
medal at the Milan fair. These five
horses, the Marchese told the World
correspondent, he will have in New
York city some time next fall, to give
him an opportunity of entering them in
horse show.
Leo, the smallest horse, is a full
grown animal, which has been reared
on the stock farms of the MarcheSe,
and is the surprising result of a num-
ber of interesting experiments. The
smallest Shetland ponies are never un-
der hands high, which is equal to 80
inches and is IL inches taller than Leo.
The latter is no less remarkable for his
perfect symmetry than for his minute
proportions.
He is a beautiful chestnut, with shag-
gy tail. which reaches almost to the
ground. His neck measures ten inches
and his head from his face is just about
six inches.
Leo measures Just as much as his
height, and his chuncky legs are ex-
actly ten inches long.
