We see it reported that car load OF
range horses were sold in st. Louis last
weeh at $3.50 per head. They would
average Is hands high and were fat, but
in other respects were not of good
quality. If horses from the ranges of
Texas bring $3.50 head in st. Louis,
would it not be profitable to ship a lot
from the ranges around the Hills.
They do no good and only eat the grass
that is needed for the cattle and sheep.
Weed out the buzard heads when they
are fat, and save only the best blood.
There is no profit in raising scrubs.

wondered in to his ground during one
of the severe storms Of last winter.
Mr.. Adams promptly put up the bars,

is reimbursed for the hay and other feed
consumed by the elk. This gives rise

Consul Muth of Madgeburg in Ger
many in his report on the beet sugar
industry has this to say with regard to
locating factories: Factories should
be erected only in localities where it
has been demonstrated beyond doubt
that sugar beets can be grown extern
sively. Experience has shown that the
sugar beet grows in almost any soil,
provided the proper fertilizer is applied.
A rich, deep soil, with a porous we'll
drained sub-sol should be selected. II
is not necessary to plant large areas
small patches here and there will ans
wer for experimental purposes and in
this way large district can be covered
without obtaining an accumulation of
beets. The factory must be easily ac-
cessible to the farmers and should,
therefore be situated in the heart OF
the district from which it draws its
beets. Besides beets, the principal
materials needed TO run sugar factory
are water, fuel and limestone-water to
wash the beets and limestone for the
publication of the beet juices. Al

The Toronto meeting of the British
association for the advancement OF
science, which convenes on the 10th OF
this month, will be one of the biggest
scientific events of the year, says the
Omaha Bee. The eyes of the scientific
world are turned toward this meeting,
and great things are expected of it, for
most of the legal lights of science will
be there. The association is just six
years older than the queens reign. For
just two thirds of a century in has been
in existence, and during almost that en-
tire period has been the largest purely
scientific organization in the English
speaking world. The history of its
existence is one long triumphal course,
because nearly every notable scientific
achievement of the past fifty years has
been performed by a member of the
society.

the cabinet Wednesday evening at
Ottawa, Ont, it was announced that the
government had decided to impose a
royalty on all placer diggings in the
Yukon in addition to fifteen dollars
registration fee and 800 annual assess
ment. Tie royalty will be ten per cent
each on claims with an output of 500
or less monthly, and twenty per cent OH

decided in regard to all future claims
staked out on other streams or rivers
that every alternate claim should be the
property of the government and should
be reserved for public purposes and sold
or worked by the government for the
benefit of the revenue of the Dominion.

England, Germany, France, and in
fact every nation under the sun, are all
protesting against the Dingiey tariff,
and asking Uncle Sam to make reduc-
ton. This only shows what we have
been giving away, and the extent TO
which we as a nation have been hiring
other nations to do our work, while our
own workmen haye been standing idly
by, with their hands in their pockets,
because they could find nothing to do.
1t is always economy for family to do
their own work and, although it may
seem selfish, yet when we have q job
why not give il to our own people first.

Secretary Sherman, from latest ad-

But these rumors have in no wise been

VIFE'S CLAIM DENIED.
Interesting Chaneery Suit Over
Walter Collins Estate.

The case of Florence Castor Collins
against James L. Steuart, executor Of
her husbands estate, was begun yester-
day before Vice Chancellor Stevens in the
Court Of Chancery. It is the attempt of
a widow to recover from her husbands
estate property which she claims she
turned over to her husband in his life
time, so that he could take care of it for
her as her agent. She is opposed by the
creditors of the estate.
In her bill Mrs. Collins sets forth that
she was married to Mr.. Collins, at her
home, in Scranton, Pa, July 5, 1888, and
that in 1889 she went to live in Engle-
wood, Bergen county. where she contin-
ued to reside until the death of her hus-
Springs, N. Y. He left a will in which
she was named as e~xecutrix, and James
L. Steuart, of New York, as executor.
started in to administer the estate. She
soon discovered that her claim was hos.
tile to the estate, and on March 81, 1894,
Steuart, at her solicitation, became ex-
ecutor.
On March Z, 1884, Mrs. Collins says she
gave her husband SIG, 900 worth of bonds,
mortgages and other securities. Mr.. Col
Inns placed the property with his own,
and it became absorbed in his estate.
When he died only a small portion of
the wife's securities was found, the other,
o2 Div was IL Z hdtl1S g. Z
~hypothecated for a loan of Sc, GOO made to
Collins by the National Bank of Staten
Island.
Among her husbands effects was an as
signment to her of enough of his per-
sonal estate to secure her against any
loss through his manipulation of her
securities.
By virtue of his Mrs. Collins claims
that she has the right to take from her
husbands estate enough to repay her.
Steuart flied an answer in which he adj
mits almost everything charged in Mrs.
Collins bill except that she gave her
husband any securities.
When Steuart became executor, a box
containing Collins personal property was
taken bys him to New York. when Mrs.
Collins had begun a suit for her claim.
When the creditors heard of this they
secured an order from the Surrogate of
Bergen county to have the box deposited
with the New Jersey Title Guarantee and
Trust Company of this city. Steuart tried
through the New York courts to stop it's
removal out of New York State, pending
Mrs. Collins suit and was defeated. Mrs.
Collins obtained judgment in the lower
court, bur on appeal the judgment was
set aside, the Appellate Court saying
that the New Jersey Court of Equity
alone had jurisdiction in the matter.
h estate is perfectly solvent, but con-
sists mainly of real estate in Ohio. The
creditors a to get their claims out of
the personal property instead of going
out West to obtain their money.
