war drew several thousand head into
the service of the army, there was an
immediate prospect Of shortage.
Then came the British Boer war,
which, up to date. is said to have de-
strayed $4,000 horses. England has
been compelled to look to America for
her cavalry mounts, and orders for
many thousand head of horses that
will fill the cavalry requirements are in
the hands of eastern agents. The east
has been secured to I'LL the order. The
drivers. the saddlers. and the tirst-class
farm horses have passed from the
hands of the eastern breeders. and
their places must be filed by horses
from the ranges. The anxious inquir-
les of the stock yards and commission
men for western horses indicate the
strong tone of the market, and their
expressed willingness to buy any
thing" is proof positive that there will
be sale for all sorts and conditions
of euuines. Added to this is an almost
phenomenal soaring of prices for trot-
ting-bred animals and fancy drivers.

American Men Wanted.

A great Mexican doctor said to me
the other day, says a writer in the
Boston Herald: why don't more
young Americans come here, live
among us, and take the daughters of
the land in marriage? There are
plenty of girls with small, and often
large, fortunes, and the blend Of Amer
icah and Mexican blood commends it.
"elf to all physicians here. We favor
crossing the race with vigorous
stock like the Americans We need
fresh blood, and my experience shows
that Americans and Mexicans marry
ing have fine children, with the sweet
ness and ease Of the Latin and the
sound sense and push OF the North
erner"
There are some instances Of this
blending Of the two races, and as time
goes on 1t will be more frequent, to
the benefit of Mexico. and serving az
a guarantee of peace and concord.
Mexican girls like young Americans;
as husbands they are reputed to be

Edwin F. Van Vechten has in his
office in Milwaukee telegraph instru-
ment that is hoped to prove great
aid in teaching the deaf, and at the
same time make it possible for the
deaf to become telegraph operators.
Besides this it is expected to furnish
railroads, governments, or others
using telegraph instruments with
practically secret service.
The new instrument is one designed
by George H. Landgraf, an instruct
or in the Menasha high school. The
principle upon which it operates is
the same as that of any standard tel
egraph instrument now in use. In
stead of the receiver ticking forth the
sound loudly, as is customary in order
to communicate the message to the
ear of the operator its ticks cannot be
heard, but the message is communi-
Gated along a short wire to a delicate
sounder incased in a small hard rubber

Deutschland has reduced the record

to five days, fifteen hours, and forty
six minutes. The first steamship
which crossed the ocean without the
aid of sails and wind was the Royal
William, which occupied twenty-five
days in making the short voyage from
Nova Scotia to London. 1t took Ma
gellan three years to circumnavigate
the globe, and Drake about the same
time. The story of Jules Verne's hero
who made the journey in eighty

For the first time in years the own

ted to look upon their herds as a ne

doubtless exaggerated-or shooting a

horses for their hides. and OF feeding
the carcaSses of worthless euuines to

realm of the improbable. Once more

search of long absent horses, and the

horse buyer is abroad in the land and
transactions in horseflesh are assum-
ing prodigious proportions.
And all this enlivenment Of an erst-
while dead industry Is welcome. Fur
thermore, too, there has been notable
increase in horse values-100 per cent
in many instances-over the quota
tions of last year and there is a ready
sale now for animals that could not
have been given away a year ago. OF
course, rmany owners of large herds,
who have held on for years simply be-
cause they could find no market. are
taking advantage OF the demand and
are disposing of their holdings in bulk
at any price offered. Hardly a week
passes without recording a sale of
whole herds, numbering from 500 to
5000. From Indications for the future

believe that this wholesale re ;irement
from the business is an error on the
part of the herd owners. They are Civ

wait.
There are several causes that have
operated for the future benefit of the
horse industry. Because of a profit

been practically suspended for years

The little station of Wolcott is
rapidly assuming Importance as a
town and a prosperous and lively COM
munity is expected to spring up there
rapidly. With its growth Fort Steele
suffers; and this coming upon the de-
struction by fire of the hotel at Fort
Steele, may signify the downfall of
that towns importance.
The Improvements already made at
Wolcott include a hotel, two saloons,
a livery barn and a number of dwell
ing horses. The railroad company
has put up a comfortable little station
and Wolcott is now a day and night
office. Nearly every passenger train
stops there now, so regular has the
passenger travel to and from the place
become.
Wolcott is the shipping point for the
ore of the Ferris Haggerty mine and
long trains of wagons loaded with the
rich copper ore come in there every
day. This has been going on for some
time but only recently has the passen-
ger traffic between the railroad and
the Battle Lake country been divert
ed that way. The abandonment of the
Rawlins stage line which was an
nounced recently also adds to Wal
colts opportunity. The cattle ship
ments from that point have been very
large in recent years.

WIDOW CONTESTS THE
w. A. WILLIAMS WILL.

The will of the late w. A. Williams
came up for probate in the district
court this afternoon and Mrs. w. A..
Williams, the widow, filed notice of a
contest. Groesbeck and Carpenter ap-
peared for Mrs. Williams and Colo
mel Downey represents the estate. The,
ground upon which Mrs. Williams
contests is that Mr.. Williams was in
sane when he made the will and, sec.
ondly, that she has homestead rights
and that the value of the property,
when all debts are paid, will not ex-
coed the value of the homestead
rights. The immediate ground, how
ever, upon which the probating of the
will is contested in this court is that
the property being all in Carbon coun-
ty this court has no jurisdiction.
Judge Bramel will decide this point
tomorrow at . o'clock. The will as
filed leaves all the property to Hazel
Williams, who is five years old.
