BETRAYED BY 4 HORSE.
Thiefs Driving Animal as an Ally to
the Police
(Chicago Times-Herald.)

tChicagO TimeS-Herald.)
For the second time in his life John
Parker, a thief, has been arrested
through the intelligence of a horse in
leading the officers of the law TO the
hiding-place of his master. Last Tues
day two men were discovered breaking
into a house on Stewart Avenue. Near
by was a horse and wagon which be-
longed to the thieves. They fled from
the house after being seen, and, spring
ing into the wagon, drove away. In the
meantime the Englewood police were
notified, and the patrol-wagon was sent
in hot haste after the burglars. To es-
cape arrest the thieves abandoned the
wagon.
The horse and wagon were taken TO
The Englewood police-station, and yes
terday Capt. Haas decided 10 test the
animals intelligence to see if 1T would
of it's own accord go to its owner 5
home The horse was given free rein,

Sixth Street. Then it turned east and
went direct to an alley in the rear OF
Prairie Avenue. When the animal
stopped at barn the officers entered
quickly and arrested Parker, who tried
to escape.
About five years ago Parker was ar
rested for a long list of burglaries. and

ACHIEVED BY MKINLEY.
Satisfactory Handling of Railway
Business by the Present Adj
ministratiOn.

Among the important events of the
Mckinley administration is the almost
complete repayment of the government
debt of the subsidized Pacific railroads,
principal and interest. Such a result
was not considered possible until few
months ago. The people had concluded
that repayment from the roads in fun
was hardly to be hoped for, and con-
gress discussed various concessions to
bring about settlement. But the main
line, consisting of the Union Pacific and
the Central Pacific, the first of the over
land railways, have either paid or ar
ranged to pay every cent of their obi
cations to the government. The sum
received from the Union Pacific is $685.
44S,223, and the adjustment with the
Central Pacific calls for $5s,S12,715.
Thus the stem road pays in full. The
Kansas Pacific paid the principal of it's
government debt, amounting to Sc, 3O3,-
900. Nothing was lost but the interest
on this fragmentary line. In all, the
cash repayments of the Pacific rail-
roads to the national treasury will foot
up $123,653, 1899, or enough to meet esti-
mates for the construction of the Mica
ragua canal.
Thirty years have passed since the
first railroad across the continent was
opened for traffic. In 1868 there was
still nearly thousand miles of stage
coaching in the overland journey, but
in 1869 the long talked of Pacific rail-
road was an accomplished fact. It's in
direct value to the government has
been enormous. It's success multiplied
the number of interoceanic railways.
New states have arisen through their
facilities and added hundreds Of mil
lions to the wealth of the people. That
the money advanced by the government
should be returned to it. with almost
full interest, is gratifying fact, and
surprise in view of the belief two
years ago that the roads would not dis
charge more than half their obliga-
tions. There would have been a large
shrinkage but for the firm attitude
and intelligent financiering of the pres
ident and the cabinet. The general
prosperity which came in with McKin-
ley enabled the roads to command the
aid of capital to the extent required by
these transactions. The credit, there
fore, doubly belongs to the present ad-
| ministration.-St Louis Globe-Demo-
| crat.

back, and so l told my men. They were
hot, and went to the front vowing to
kill him.
They rushed up, and in few min
utes came back as meek as lambs, say
ing he had explained the whole matter
to their entire satisfaction.
"Well, to make a long story short,
the cut was so narrow that the animals
couldn't turn, so we had to lean over
the cut and reach down and lift 'em one
at a time and twist 'em round towards
the west.
1T took us all day, and when we got
through we dropped down in the room
and fell asleep, while the pack mule
man went along through the cut, driv-
ing all our truck out before him.
SIN the morning we found the cut
empty and our sheep driven out at the
end of the cut, rounded up and waiting
for us. 1t just occurred to me that I
ought to have asked the man his name,
when one of my men said he guessed
the party had left his card. Sure
enough, he had tied 'leven sheep in a
row, and with pot and marking brush
he had painted his name in black paint
on the sides of the sheep, one letter on
each sheep. 1 could read it easily
enough.

In two or three trades the wages have
been stationary. There has been an
advance in all the others, an average of
~ per cent, approximately.
This is somewhat surprising, as good
times prevailed in the '7Os until the
panic of 70. But these trades do not
cover the entire field. Among rolling
mill workers and among the cotton
operatives we think a large decline
would be shown, and, possibly, in other
trades, but without regard to these the
showing is flattering, as there has been
an impression abroad that labor in the
last 20 years has suffered great de-
cline. These figures, though they are
limited, do not establish that impress
