GOATS ARE ALL RIGHT.
5000 a Week Killed For Food in
Chicago.

Chicago. Aug. 5.-The Daily News
says:
Thousands Of goats are bought.
slaughtered and placed upon the mar
kets of Chicago and sold as mutton by
some packers of the stockyards. This
traffic is carried on most extensively
during the winter and early spring up
to and including the month of April.
The goats and kids are principally of
the Angora kind and come from the
northwest, while a few are shipped in
from the south. The latter are of the
common goat species and do not find as
ready sale as the Angora- Besides be-
ing very paIatabIe as food, the Angora
goat and kid are used for other pur-
poses. The skins Of the goats are used
for making floor mats and robes for
babies. while the skin Of the kid is used
for trimming furs.
Dr.. w. s. Devoe of the bureau of an
imal industry, when asked today in re-
gard to goats being sold for mutton,
said:
They certainly are quite free from
disease, are fat and make excellent
eating. OF course the very common
Billy goat would have a tendency to
be strong and have a bad odor. There
is no law to prevent them being sold.
and when we find them in the packing
houses they are inspected the same as
any other carcass
The records at the yards show that
some weeks as high as 5000 goats have
been received.

Santa Fe Prosneritv.

Kansas City, Aug 5.=H. U. Nudge,
general superintendent of the Santa Fe,
was at the Coates last night. Mr..
Nudge states that the prosperity of the
Santa Fe was never greater than at
present, and with the entrance of the
road into San Francisco over its own
tracks, which will be accomplished
within a few months, it will experience
even greater prosperity. The great
crops throughout the west will make
the fall traffic greater than ever before
in the roads history.

YACHT MAY HAVE BEED LOST
HETTY GREEN'S SON IS IN DAN.
GER.
Caught With Friends On a Yacht
That May Have Foundered Dur
ing a. Storm.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 25.--Nothing has
been heard FROM E. H. r. Green's
yachting party since the storm on the
gulf coast near Rockford. Matagora
bay, Thursday night last. This would
not indicate, however, that the party
is in extreme peril, as the wind has
broken telegraph and telephone COM
munication with the islands on which
Mr.. Green's club house and fishing re-
sorts are located, and this might ac-
count for no word coming from Mr.
Green and his companions.
1t is known that; the yacht Mabel
was in a dangerous locality during
Thursday night in Matagora BAY. but
Hugh z. Kahn and j. II. Buckner MEM
bers of the party. who went from Dali
las. but started home before the storm
came on. say that it is possible that
the Green party may have reached the
club house and taken refuge there be-
fore the storm reached its most violent
stage.
Tonight message was received over
the long distance telephone from par
ties in Corpus Christi, about fifty miles
back from Matagora bay. who state
that no word has been received from
Mr.. Green or his friends. The wind at
Corpus Christi blew at the rate of
forty-five to fifty miles an hour. AT
least 100000 worth of property has
been destroyed along the coast.

THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY
LEADERS SAY GOEBEL WON'T
FILE CONTEST.
Governor Bradley Still Maintains a
Strong Force of Sentries at Ma
tional Guard Armory.

Frankfort. Ky. Nov. 25.-The Demo-
cratic leaders now assert that Goebel will
not contest before the legislature if he is
not given the certificate of election by the
board which convenes here Saturday.
Taylor's managers are dubious on this
point, as the statement that he would
contest has not been denied by Goebel
himself.
Yesterday was the last day under which
contests could be filed against the Repub-
licaa members-elecr to the legislature.
and the fact that about ten contests were
filed against Reimbursement against the
house and three against the senate-is
regarded as an indication that the Demo-
Gratis are doing this as precautionary
measure to secure a safe majority in
both houses in the event that a contest is
determined on. Senator Gcebel was re-
inforced today by the arrival of nearly
all the candidates on his ticket.
Chairman Smith Of the state central
com.eittee and Others will be here until
the fight ends. Information here is that
several thousand people from out in the
state will be here at the meeting of the
election committee.
Governor Bradley still maintains guard
at the state arsenal. and it is said the
war department was never SO fully
equipped with shooting material. The
governor himself absolutely refuses to
disclose his position but the movements
of AGjutant General Collier are supposed
to be under his direction. This strongly
indicates that he is preparing to take
some kind of vigorous action. and the
prospects for trouble seem to be growing
as the day OF final settlement approaches.

COL, GEORGE DAVIS DEAD
DIRECTOR GENERAL OF WORLDS
FAIR EXPIRES.
End Was Caused By Heart Trouble,
the Dead Man Having Been Ill
For Ten Days.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Colonel George r.
Davis, formerly director general of the
Worlds fair, died tonight at his home
on Washington boulevard of valvular
disease of the heart. Colonel Davis has
been a sufferer from heart trouble for
some time, but il was only during the
last ten days that he was confined to
the house. Until then he was actively
engaged in business. His family and
friends have been aware of his condi-
ton for some time and his death was
not unexpected.
All the members of his family were
present at Colonel Davis bedside when
he expired. No arrangements for the
funeral have yet been made.
Colonel Davis was veteran of the
civil war, entering the service in 1862
He held the position of captain of the
Eighth Massachusetts infantry and ma
Jor of the Third Rhode Island cavalry.
Upon being mustered out of the ser
vice he was appointed to a civil posi-
ton ar General Phil Sheridan's head
quarters and went through the Indian
campaigns of 1868 and 1853 in southern
Kansas and Indian Territory In 1871
he resigned and went into business. He
was elected colonel of the First Illinois
infantry in 1875 and in 1876 was elected
10 congress. He was a delegate TO the
Republican convention of 1884 and was
elected TO the forty-siXth, forty-seventh

CHEWING coco LEAVES.
Mysterious Powers Ascribed to the
Plant By the Indians.

(Sucre. Bolivia, Letter TO the Chicago
Record.)
The Indians regard the coca with
extreme reverence. Won Tschudi, the
Austrian scientist, who made most
thorough study of the ancient customs
of the Incas says: During divine
worship the priests chewed coca leaves,
and unless they were supplied with
them il was believed that the favor of
the gods could not be gained. II was
also deemed necessary that the suppl
Gator for divine grace should approach
the priests with an 'acullico in his
mouth. 1t was believed that any bust
ness undertaken without the benedic-
tion of coca leaves could not prosper.
and TO the shrub itself worship was
rendered During an interval of more
than 300 years Christianity has not
been able to subdue this deep-rOoted
idolatry. for everywhere we find traces
of belief in the mysterious powers OF
this plant. The excavators in the
mines of Cerro del Pasco throw chewed
coca upon the hard veins of metal, in
the belief that it softens the ore and
renders it more easy TO work The In
dams even at the present time put
coca leaves in the mouths of dead per-
sons in order to secure them a favor
able reception on their entrance into
another world, and when a Peruvian
on a journey falls in with a mummy,
he. with timid reverence. presents to
it some coca leaves as his pious offer

One of the scientific explorers who
has been working up in this region told
me of his experience with a coca chew
er. "A man was employed by me-" he
said. lin very laborious digging. Dur
ing the five days and nights he was in
my service he never tasted food and
took only two hours sleep each night.
but at intervals of two hours and a
half or three hours he repeatedly
chewed about half an ounce of coca
leaves and kept an 'aculiico' continual
~ in his mouth. l was constantly be-
side him and, therefore. had the oppor-
tunity of closely observing him. The
work for which 1 had engaged him be-
ing finished. he accompanied me on a
two days journey across the level
ground. Though on foot, he kept the
pace of my mule and halted only for
the chaccar (chewing). On leaving me,
he declared that he would willingly en-
gage himself again for the same
amount of work and that he would go
through il without food if I would but
allow him a sufficient supply of coca.
The village priest assured sne that this
man was GO years of age. and that he
had never known him to be i'll in his

pleasant words and to do kindly acts.
His generosity was unbounded. No one
can tell, no one knows the number or
the greatness of the kind deeds he was
constantly doing.
He was neverto tired for the cheer

things himself. He must be written
down as one who loved his fellow men,
1t is written, "A man that hath friends
