A nohammsdan L.AEus.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Telegraph is responsible for the assertion that the Russian govern ment some time ago discovered that the sultan had been intriguing to secure . union of all the MohammedAn coan- tries According to this authority. he wrote letter. proposing holy alliance to all the Moslem monarchS Among the rulers who received copies of this missive were the emir of Bokhara and the khan of Khiva. who asked permis- sion from Russia to 90 to Constantino- pie for the purpose of paying adorahon to the sacred lag and of visiting the sultan. the head of Islamism. Russia divined the real project behind the con- templated journey, because areport had been received from TeherAn that the shah was preparing for visit to Con- stantinople, and in consequence of this information the requests of the emir and the khan were refused Besides Great Britain and Russia, France is in- terested in this question. and the three powers could easily frustrate any de- sign of this sort by declining to allow either the khedive of Egypt, the sultans of Morocco and Tangier. tho emir of AfghAnistan or the sovereigns of the Mohammedan states in India to SO to the Turkish capital.

From an appearances and circumstances. the doctor was lead 10 be- heve NelSod had committed suicide.
 One of the strongest eircumS.antial eSi- dences was the finding of a bottle of Iaud- anum in a vallse belonging to Nelson. which he had near his bed. However, none of the men of the camp had seen Nelson take anything like medicine or a drug the evening before, and not even his bed fellow knew Of him having been out of bed during the night or having taken anything.
 The remains were still at the railroad camp yesterday awaiting the arrival of q mounted poliee lieutenant who was ,o in- spect the circumstances of the death, as Is required bv the Canadian law.

Card From Winter Ronrd.

During the trouble few DAYS ago nj
the water works, caused by an unfore
seen accident, the City Water Board re-
ceived two very kind letters: One from
the Natl0na! Tube Works. Offering US
assistance. both in apparatus and men
TO help us out OF our difficulty. II we
could not overcome It with our own
forces. The other from the Wheeling
halfway Company. Offering TO let us
nave water from their tanks in case OF n
nre occurring before our breach was
repaired. The water board takes this
pubic method OF thanking the officers
OF Doth these organizations for their
klnu oilers we also express our graft
hcatloh to find that the gentlemen pre-
siding over tho two most important or
EaniZations Of our city and Vicinity have
shown sympathy in our trouble which
was so cOnspcuously lacking in many
OF our citizens. II Is like d beautiful
oasis In the desert to meet with such
sympathetic kindness amid the snurls
and unkind criticisms coming from men
VINO are either denSely Ignorant OF what
they are talking about. MS shown by the
Faptd tatR OF the man who said we were
trying TO make the connection when
the force main was full Of water: or
they come from persons who are desir-
GUS OF making political capital out OF
the calamity. OF one thing we are
sure: Thut not one of the seIf-corstltut
ed critics would have foreseen the ca
lamity. Again We express our heart
telt gratitude to the National Tube
Works Company and to the Wheeling
Railway Company, for their kind offers
ana Tor the sympathy shown by that
act. THE CITY WATER BOARD.

INDICATIONS THAT FARMERS
WILL FIND HORSE RAISING
PROFITABLE IN THE
FUTURE
3ooooooooococcooooococoo

CoGoCoCoCcCOC COGoCoCOGOe;
Many farmers talk about the posi-
bility of the horse of the future and
argue that 1t would be more economic
al for the average farmer to raise
some other live stock and buy the
horses for the farm use, says Frank
Ruhlen in The American Agriculturist.
The argument Is that the automobile
and other modern improvements will
cheaper the horses so that we cannot
afford to raise them.
In the face of the automobile the
price of the horse is likely to remain
as high as at present and the chances
are they will increase IN value. We
have only to look at the last few years.
Horses were very cheap. and people
said it was because of the electric
street cars and the bicycle. Every
thing was low at that time and natural
ly horses would follow. Bicycles and
electric street cars are used more today
than ever before. and the price of
horses is higher than for several years.
We can raise horses so much cheaper
than Europeans. owing to the fact that
they have to use such intensive cultiva-
ton to grow the necessities of life.
Many of our best horses are bought
from the farmers by exporters and
shipped out Of this country AS long
as we have a foreign demand for our
stock it is going to remain at profit

farmer remark last summer that he
would rather raise an extra steer or
several sheep and sell them and buy

Comment on tho Principal Arguments O
the Party in Power.

Nomment on tho ir1nctpai arguments OF
the Party in Power.
The principal arguments, however.
advanced by those who enter upon a
defense Of Imperialism are:
First; That we must improve the
present opportunity to become world
power and enter into international pol
itics.
Second: That our commercial inter-
ests in the Philippine Islands and in
the Orient make it necessary for us to
hold the islands permanently
Third: That the spread of the Chris
tian religion will be facilitated by a
colonial policy.
Fourth: That there Is no honorable
retreat from the position which the
milton has taken
The first argument is addressed to
the nations pride and the second to the
nations pocket-book. The third is in
tended for the church member and the
fourth for the partisan.
1t Is a sufficient answer to the first
argument to say that for more than u
century this nation has been a world
power. For ten decades it has been
the most potent influence in the world.
Not only has 1t been a world power,
but it has done more to affect the poll
tics of the human race than all the 9TH
er nations of the world combined. Be
cause our Declaration Of Independence
was promulgated others have been pro-
mulgated; because the patriots OF 1776
fought for liberty others have fought
for it; because our constitution was
adopted other constitutions have been
adopted. The growth OF the principle
