Democrats May Win the Lieutenant
Governorship.

Columbus, November ga furry was
created in political circles today by the
claims of the democratic state committee
that Patrick, democrat, had been elected
for lieutenant governor over Caldwell, re-
publican. The returns showed that Cald-
well had been cut heavily aus the result of
the fight made against him by the anti
saloon league, but the republican committee
had not given the matter any serious con-
sderation. Today, however, the county
chairmen were asked for the vote on
lieutenant governor. Tonight returns had
been received from seventy counties, which
gave Caldwell a plurality of S,27S. The
remaining eighteen counties gave Nash a
plurality of 1876, and as they are all
strongly republican, Chairman Dick claims
the election of Caldwell with the greatest
confidence. 1t is claimed Caldwelps plu-
rality over Patrick will not be less than
5000. Revised figures on the head of the
ticket show that Nash's plurality is 5O,5l2.

Fierce Fire at CentralIa

Centralia, Mo, Sept. THE
largest fire which ever occurred in
this city took place this morning at
1870, and burned for five hours
without cessation. It swept away
sixteen buildings, including the
Merchants hotel and a. G. Byram's
livery barn. The fire spread rap
pidly for two and a half blocks,
leaving nothing but ashes and ruins
in its trail
This being Thursday at Centraila' 9
fair every livery barn in town was
filled with farmers horses and bug
gies. In Byram's barn were about
fifty buggies and 100 horses All
of the buggies burned aud about
seventy horses suffered a most
horrible death. The agonizing
groans and cries of some of them
could be heard for blocks Three
men are supposed to have persisted
in the flames, but the fire is too hot
to investigate.
The loss is estimated at 3. 500

Big Goat Ranch.

What is to be the biggest goat ranch
in the world has recently been started
at Lamy Junction, N NJ, where the
Santa Fe branch leaves the main line,
by Robert Foerderer, a morocco and
kid manufacturer of Philadelphia, I'D
connection with Lucius Beebe, leath-
er dealer of Boston, and several other
capitalists. They bought what is
known as the old Lamy grant from
the Manzanares family, at Las Vegas,
and have already stocked it with forty
five or fifty thousand goats, which are
to be used for breeding. Mr.. FOerderer
is said to use an average of 10000
skins day in his own tannery, which
he has been getting mostly from Cen
tral and South America, but he thinks
he can raise them cheaper than il
costs to import, and it is contended
that the skins of goats and kids bred
in that climate are softer and tougher
than those from hot and moist coun-
tries. The best skins are said to come
from the warm, dry regions of north
ern Africa. There are many small
herds of goats in New Mexico number
ing two or three thousand, mostly own
ed by native Mexicans, but this is the
first time, so far as can be learned
that northern people have gone into
the business to any extent

E. E Chester. in an address TO
horsemen, said:
The few farmers who improved their
opportunities during dull times to
build up a good breeding herd, and
went on raising horses regardless of
prices are now reaping a golden har-
VesI not only in the sale of stock in
the market, but in the demand there
is for brood mares from other farmers
During the past year there has been
an increased interest on the farm, in
horse production, and predict a great
er demand the present than for many
years in the use Of valuable sires. The
late NJ. w. Durham said only a few
weeks ago: Il feel that better times
nave come for every man in the horse
business who grows good ones" In
my mind this is the key note. to the
situation. My neighbor sold three four
year old geldings for 500. Another
sold three for 5000. Each received all
his stock were worth. A part of the
difference between the two sales repre-
sents the difference between good sense
and bad judgment in a business trans
action about five years ago.
A few, alas very few, farmers read
the live stock and farm papers and are
keeping posted as to market demands
and are furnishing stock OF a credit
able type, and not one of them has ever
been known to express regret when
using or selling, that they had taken
unusual care in selecting foundation
stock, and in keeping posted in what
professional horsemen were doing.
These are pleased that they were not
frightened when it was echoed from
every hill side in all the land back to
the valley between the hills, the day
of the horse is past" The horse that
is best suited TO the conditions of the
western farm is the draft horse. With
fairly good judgment in selection there
| need be few blanks. The colts and
their dams are useful in all the heavy
work Of the farm. They are easily
broken to work, and when well
fattened are as easily marketed as
| a bunch OF steers. They command
always good prices, and the
market mas never yet been over
| stocked with good ones. The shrewd
| hOrseman needs not to be told
| that in the revival of the horse indus
try there is a great field of usefulness
and profit in supplying again these
| farmers with stock. All the breeds
and classes of horses have their friends
| on the farms, hence there is room for
| all to aid in supplying the demand for
| horses great and small, fast and slow
| that are best fitted to serve the varied
| wants of his master man.
