Mr.. w. A. Rice. a saleman in the store
Of Meyer Sycle, has not been seen or
heard from, either at the store or at his
boarding-house since last Sunday. and
his friends feel some uneasiness about
him. 1t IS hoped, however. that he has
returned TO POWhatan county, where he
formerly lived, and that he is safe and
well
Mr. Rice IS from Farmville, where he
has many relatives and friends. His
family is one OF the best known In that
section Of the State. He came to Rich
mOnd some two or three months ago,
and soon accepted a position with Mr..

very highly. He boarded with Mr.. 3. A.
Holt, an old friend, who also came from
Farmville. lie was last seen at Dir. Hollis
last sunday night.
Mr.. Rice was we'll on Sunday. and ap-
parently In excellent spirits. He left the
parlOr about o'clock that night, saying
he would retire early as he had 20 go TO
the store early the next morning. He has
not been seen or heard from since. When
servant went 70 wake him soon after
s o'clock Monday morning he was not IN
his room, and = was apparent that he
had not occupied Il during the night the
gas was burning dimly. az It had been
early the night before, and the bed had
not been tumbled.

Mr.. Rice formerly lived, and between
whom and the latter a strong attachment
exists. was In the city last week, and
EXTENDED Mr.. Rice most cordial inyi-
taliOn 10 visit him. and II he desired. to
make his home there again. Mr.. Holt
thinks Mr.. Rice must have decided 10
accept this invitation. and has failed TO
write to him. intending. possibly, TO re-
turn most any day. There was, 30 far as
known absolutely nothing 20 cause him
10 leave.

irrigation Has Changed the Desert
Into a Garden.
But the Profit LIS Reaped by Water
MonopoIies Whose Proprietors
Grow Fat ON the Sweat of
the ToiIeRs.
Especial Denver (col.) letter.

A great change is taking place in
Colorado. Many eastern people are
under the mistaken impression that
the mining industry is the princi-
pal source of its prosperity, but
the stock and farming industries are
much more profitable. Certainly they
are more lasting. The profits of agri
culture and stock raising during the
present year are estimated at $780,
100000. This rapid increase is mainly
owing to the numerous irrigation en-
terprises, especially in southern Colo
rado-the arid district. There are il
Colorado about 100000 acres of land
susceptible of irrigation, and practical
~ valueless without water. About half
of this area is now under irrigation
and cultivation. To water this desert
region there have been constructed
within the past few years $4,000 miles
of irrigating canals. The capital ex-
pended is estimated at S5,0o0.o00, not
including the purchase of the arid
lands. These irrigating canals extend
southwark from Denver to Pueblo,
Canon City, Trinidad, Durango, De
Bequc, and throughout the Grand, San
Luis and Arkansas valleys, tapping the
mountain streams for hundreds of
miles.
From these large canals small ca
mails are run in various directions, car

MODEL INSTRUCTION.
Fancy Riding Taught to Give Begina
ners a Complete Mastery Over
Their Wheels.

A city dealer has introduced the iGea
of giving instruction in fancy riding,
for the purpose of making men, and es-
pecially women, more graceful and
skillful when on the road. The idea 10
not to teach trick riding for the pur-
pose of making an exhibition of ones
skill, but to inspire confidence in the
management of the wheel. The virtue
of such instruction becomes obvious
when it is recalled how many accidents
are due to the self-taught riders who
are only able to guide their cycles and
ride straight ahead. The instant any
thing unusual happens--a jam OF ve.
hiclcs, another rider steering wildly,
runaway horse, or something OF that
sort-the rider loses his or her nerve,
forgets what to do, and then there ia
an accident. Some people have
knack of thinking quickly, but most
people are slow, and are seemingly par
alyzed in the presence of danger. To
all such people a complete mastery Of
the wheel is essential, if they wish to
ride with the assurance Of safety. The
instruction begins with q course of
what may be called cycling calisthenics,
such as riding with one foot and one
hand and meaneuvering with lance
as with musket. Dumb bells, lances,
parasols and skipping ropes are used
in the exercises. The final result is that
the pupil can ride in any position and
under all circumstances without fear

AS TOLD By A LYCHNOBITE.
Sleepy Passenger on an ssL" Train
FGrgets His Overccat and Conn
edy of Errors Follows.

4 trip home at 2:30 a. m. on the South
side elevated road often affords much
amusement. Sometimes, too, one falls
asleep and dozes until suddenly awak-
ened by the cry of the guard: Ears
we go! All out!" at the end of the line.
One such incident, as described by a
night toiler, follows:
IAN amusing thing happened during
festival week, when great many more
fortunate people than lychnobites like
myself were travelling at 2:30 a. m. and
were making vain efforts to keep awake.
There were 80 people in the rear car
of the train as it turned the bend at
Fortieth street. Half Of them were
sleeping and the other half amusing
themselves at the expense of man
who was snoring audibly above the rum-
bling of the train.
''Ihe train slowed up for Forty-third
street and the guard called the station.
just as the gates were changing shut
a young man in one of the double seats
gave bound and landed on the feet of
an obese individual who was sitting half
way to the door. There were few un-
pleasant remarks as the young man
gathered himself and shot out.
GAS the train started with jerk the
young man raised an outcry from the
platform. The guard, thinking that an
accident had happened, frantically
jerked the bell cord. At the same time
he caught the words the young man
was shouting after the train: You've
got my coat, my overcoat'
"He had seen the young man gather
ing himself up at the feet of the obese
individual and concluded he had been
sitting there. He rushed to get the
overcoat, seized one that lay on the
next seat, tossed it through an open
window to the young man and gave
second signal to go ahead.
''The train had left the station so
feet. The obese individual seemed to
be choking. He was slow of speech, and
in trying to say something quickly was
spluttering away like man who has
just taken in the crest of wave when
swimming against the wind.
.Sir-r-r,' he at last remarked, ex-
ploding slowly yet effectually, as
smoke balloon, 'th-that was my c-coat.
I m-must have it,
''By this time the guard was ratified.
He rang another signal and the motor
man came running back to see what
was the matter. Some one picked up
the young mans coat where he had left
it. The train was reversed, the ex-
change of coats was made, and even the
obese individual joined in the general
laugh SO heartily that the nasal vocal
ist was wakened and got off without
difficulty at Forty-seventh street,

country, because the outlaws and de-i
serters were patrolling the land and!
taking everything they could find. A
good friend brought us half d bushel of
meal at a time on the sly, and SO we
got along. The memory of old Row
land Bryant is still precious to us for
his kindness in those days of tribula-
ton. 1t is encouraging to know that
Armour 65 Co. have not abolished all
the smokehouses in the land, nor drawn
our home made meat into their mighty
trust. Our farmers are generally rais-
ing their own meat and bring good
deal to town to sell, and my wife says
that country lard is purer and better
than any that comes from the packing
houses of the west. Our home market
is well supplied by our farmers with al
most everything that is good to eat.
Beef, pork, butter, chickens, eggs, pota-
toes, turnips, cahbages, beans and ap-
plies are in great abundance. Of course,
we cant have mutton, for the negroes
must have dogs and the candidates
must have negro votes. l lost eight
fine Merinos in one night and my neigh
Dor, Mr.. Dobbins, lost 300 in five years,
and quit the business. But with all
our drawbacks our people are on the
upgrade. Seven-cent cotton has helped
greatly, and if our farmers win cut
down the acreage still more, it will
bring eight cents next year and leave
more land for wheat and corn. The
southern farmers ought to form a
mighty trust and regulate acreage and
price. Our own country could regulate
itself by organizing and combining
with the local banks. Our average
crop is 10000 bales, and at eight centa
pound would bring S4o0,0 About
one-half of this could be carried and
held bN the more wealthy producers.
The other 5000 bales could get an adj
vance of six cents pound, or $50
bale, from the banks on warehouse Ger
tifcates. This would take only $150,000.
Even S25 bale would pay the cost OF
production and leave the margin for the
producer, and this would require from
the banks only s125.Ooo II every coun-
ty was to do this 100000 bale crop
would jump to eight cents within 60
days. That's the way to meet trust
with trust and defy the spectators,
