sHARP's CLOSE CALL.

Runaway.

He Is Carried on the Shaft of a
Runaway.
Suspended in space, at the end Of
enc of the shafts. between which a
runaway horse g'alloped over the Wa
pasha street bridge yesterday after
noon, Warren Sharp, living at 2O1 East
Roo1e street. had a narrow escape from
ceath. He was carried helpIessly along
IN the perilous position a distance of
loo 1eet, when the runaway was stop
ped by Capt. Furgeson, Of fire de-
partment headquarters. Mr.. Sharps
YVES badly hurt. but it is believed es-
capped without dangerous injury. His
body was painfully bruised where he
was struck by the horses hoofs. and
his face was cut In several places.
Mr.. Sharp was riding a bicycle when
the accident happened The fact that
he was emulating the "scorcher," bend
ing low over the handleibars in pedal
ing up the incline of the bridge, doubt
less saved his life. The runaway came
upon him from the rear. He had no
intimation Of danger and was directly
in the animaPs path. The horse swerv-
ed Slightly as 1T reached the bicyclist
ard the shaft, just grazing Mr.. Sharp's
back, ran under his coat, coming out
OF the garment at his shoulder. Had
he been sitting UP straight he would
doubtless have been impaled AS the
horse dashed on Mr.. Sharp was lifted
clear Of his wheel and borne, dangling
from the shaft, with the runaway.
With the knees of the horse striking
him at every jump, he was carried in
this position until abreast of a street
car. upon which Capt. Furgerson was
riding, when the fireman jumped from
the car and stopped the horse.
When released from his dangerous
position Sharp's face was bruised and
bleeding, and it was thought he was
seriously hurt 1t was found, however,
that no bones We're broken, and he
shortly recovered from the shock suffi-
GENTLY to be taken home.
The runaway horse belongs to M. N.
Weber, the sign painter. The animal
became frightened at a street car and
got beyond control of the driver.

Modern Grandmother..

You wonder where they've gone to, those
gnandnothers Of yore,
With such quaint old nursery tingles that
We always cried for more,
With their spectacles and aprons, and their
rufied muslin caps
And their puffs Of snowy hair. and their
broad enticing laps?"
Why, they've gone. dear, with the children
of these cid and happy days.
When little ones were little ones, in thoughts
and acts and ways,
When everything was different and simpler
lives were led.
Those days are gone, ''the times have chang
ed" with that the whole is said.

Sir: Although st. Louis is not the largo st
cattle market in the Southwest, there is
enough handled through this market to make
cattle one OF the factors in the commerce of
the city. During the year 1897 the number
OF cars sold in this market amounted to
63,Gn, and the receipts from Jan. 1, 1898, to
July l, 1898, are very few less than the re-
ceipts during theo correspond ng period las.
year. The shortage this year, If there is
any at this market. Is due to the lateness in
grass-catue arrivals from the Indian terri
tory and small supplies received from Texas
IN May and June. Whatever deficiency ex-
ISIS may be made up within the next fsw
months, as supplies are rapidly increasing
Marketing of cattle during the next three
months is expected to equal or exceed pre-
v-ous records. in numbers if not in actual
pounds. The general shortage of marketable
cattle. go long expected. has not appeared
the combined receipts, of all Western mar
kets SO far this year being equal to those of
last year, so far as the numbers are con-
cerned. irs-..
Native beef cattle are now selling actively
at the lest prices in several years, the basis
being about $3.50 to $3.50 for top steers of
from 1,4G0 to 1,60e pounds, tn plenty Of
sales of light cattle at s5 to $5.4O. This Will
indicate an advance of about so cents per
to0 Pouncs over July of last year. Texas and
Indian territory cattle are now coming iato
the market very freely. and prices for cows
and heifers of this grade are also about 20
cents per 100 pounds higher than at the
same time last year. and steers range from
10 to SO cents higher. With cattle arriving
rather infer or in condition and quality. ac-
tual prices have not been better in the
summer, excepting in the year 1882, when
values for time were exceedingly high
The prospects appear good for maintain ng
values OF the better class of cattle but
heavy runs of grass cattle which seem an
parent may reduce the price of such in
ferior offerings.
Hogs are selling at moderate values. and
yet are so cents per 100 pounds higher tnan
last year. Sheep are 25 or 80 cents lower
than month ago. but are decidedly above
fhe average values of the past four years
Horses and mules are also selling at from
20 to SIS per head above the average JrIy
prices. All of the above would indicate that
the breeders of live stock are experiencing
a period of substantial remuneratiye values
yet the opinion OF different dealers varies
widely as to the possibility OF these prices
being permanent. Many of the large ranch
men n the Southwest. as well as in the
West feel very hopeful over the situation
ana, although they have sold very freely this
season. their stocks are little diminished as
they seem to have a view to maintainsng g
their plants as permanent investment. be-
lleving that prices will be mainta ned There
is scarcely ranchman in the West who has
not made large percentage en- his inves.-
ment during the past two years, many hay-

Can the Club Be Exclusive and Still

LAS the season for club activity draws near
er. the discussion OF the relation of the club
to the press grows keener. A new impetus
was given to the debate by the Denver BIZ
enniaa. Says the Inter Oceans club woman:
The variety of opinion expressed upon the
relation OF the press to the club and the
value OF the first to the last gives some Idea
OF Ahat club women feel themselves to be
doing. The infalltble index to her intelligence
and the test of liberal mind is the atti-

and admit no debate of the question. They
know that without the aid of the press of this
country the enormous growth which has been
SO far accomplished could not possibly have
materia.ized in a much longer period The
thought that was latent, expressed perhaps
simultaneously at vast distances, needed the
stimulation that was derived from the press
HOW, without newspaper expression could

Women of the West felt the pulse of women
IN the East through newspaper expression
and nothing more. What might have been
lost or impaired was preserved and strength
ened, and not the least good office which the
newspapers performed was the encourage
ment they lent n all d:gnif1ed phases of
woman's club work.
Mrs. Towner, of the Midland Monthly, thus
expressed herself on the subject before the
convention:

ODDITIES BY THE WAY.

The story goes that when members of
Queen Vichoria's family or any others of high
degree visit London and occupy apartments
in Buckingham palace, 'by invitation" they
pay their board just like common folk in a
frst-elass hotel. This prevents the sovereign
lady from having too much company. The
independence 1t gives some Of the royal guests
is not wholly appreciated by them, but as
the queen early in her reign determined on
this economical course. her subjects cannot
complain of her extravaganza. It is very
