THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Sept. THE bear party was
better defined and more aggressive i'm to-
days market than 1t has been for several
weeks and they got the ascendant for n
time over the large bun contingent The
desire of some of the very heavy oprators
in tn bull party to realize profits was it
self source of weakness. But the bears
made most capital out of the yellow fever
outbreak In Mississippi. The stocks Of
roads which traverse the region mme-
diately infected, notably Louisville and
Nashville, were most kecnly affected.
Louisville and Nashville declined at one
time two points below Saturdays close
and other southern roads were more or
less affected, the whole market going off
in sympathy and with the weight of
heavy realizing sales. These incidents
somewhat interfcrcd with the plan of
operations of the bulls, which was not es-
sentially different from that pursued each
day last week. The sales were G36 G63
shares.

THE JUDGE WON THE BET,
And Got a Move on That Stubborn
Balky Horse.

From the New York Tribune.
A driver of truck was in great dis
tress in front of the Judge building
Friday because his horse baked cross
wise of the street and caused not only
a loss of his time, but also blocked
traffic. All the usual devices to get
the stubborn animal to move were un-
availing and a crowd had gathered of
considerable size to watch the proceed =
ings. w, j. Arkell, proprietor of Judge,
was attracted to the scene, and he said
to his brother Bartlett, who sat in the
office: II will bet 800 to ten cents
that / can go out and start that horse
in two minutes" Bartlett immediate
ly took the bet, the money was placed
in the hands of the private secretary,
w, j. Merrill, and the two Arkells
started for the street. w. ]. Arkell
picked up two handfuls of sand and
asked the driver to hold the horses
head still. Then he packed each of the
horses nostrils full of the sand, and
almost instantly the horse began to
sneeze and start with a rush, to the
great delight of the driver, amid the
shouts of the by-standers. Mr.. Arkell,
the winner, says he doesn't read the
London Lancet for nothing.

What Our Town Most Needs

What Dolores most needs at pres
ent is water along our streets, and
we have no good excuse for not
having it there. This could be had
a. a very small expense, as pipe
line could be put in half mile up
the Dolores river and run down the
valley into our streets with very
snail amount of work, compared
with that done by towns in this
country Of like size. 1t would only
require an inch pipe and this would
supply an abundance OF water for a
town three times the size of Do-
lores. The enterprising people of
our town should take this matter
under consideration at once. 1t
would be of great benefit to every
man, woman and child in Dolores.

God bless the sweet face under a birdless
bonnet, which borrows not it's beauty from
murdered innocence.
Some years ago there appeared in Paris
at ball of the demi-monde an Infamous
woman wearing on her headdress a dead
bird. No lady would desire to pattern after
such an one, yet this is the way the fashion
began.
Christian women, bowling at the name of
, the merciful Christ, we cannot plead ie-
norance of the cruelty employed in obtain

detracts from your beauty.
What does it cost, this brilliancy of
death? Love and life and song, depend
upon it, are costly trimmings for a wom-
ans bonnet. ARMOUR.
