HORSES seem to be retaining their
popularity despite the bicycle and the
automobile. The noble quadruped is
selling for considerably more money
than he was several months ego. Par.
of the advance is due to the demand for
horses for war purposes, and part to
the restriction of the horse-breeding
industry. But there never has been
and probably never will be time when
fine horses are not in demand at good
prices.

DEFYIN6 THE MEN
A Women's Club Founded On False
Theory

acknowledgements and justly so, per-
hsps, for beautiful women-is the last
place one would suspect OF harbOrlng
club for the protection of women in the
right to be ugly. But that Is just what
the MiuneapC lis Times as discovered
that Louisville har bors. Some pl ointment
women of that charming city have Or
ganized a rebellion against the tyranny
of fashion and the bondage of vanity.
They declare that it is not their pur-
pose to make themselves grotesQue or
exploit any fads in dress, but they are
no longer going to attire or decorate
themselves simply to please men.
They have announced that 1.-THE day
when we can cay to man that we don't
care whether he likes us or not, that
day we can divide the world with
him" Whatever that means, it has
the ring of determination.
Most of US will be surprised, how
ever, at the theory that women dress
to please the men. l. is the gener ally
accepted belief, says the Times, and we
believe it to be correct, that women
dress to displease other women, and
the better any particular woman dress
es the more some other woman oislikes
her. The men don't count. Very few
men are severe critics of woman's ap-
parel. Some have an eye to style. har-
mony and effect, but that Is as far IS it
goes. The women are the critics, and
| it is some other woman's opinion that
every woman is thinking of when she
selects her new gown or makes over
her old one.
1t is not the male passer-by who
whispers, "whet a fright" and turns
to take another look at the hang and
drag of it. 1t is no horrid man who de-
plores Mrs. X. s wretched taste in col
| nrs in such a loud Whisper that Mrs. X.
and every body else in the room hears
IT. Very seldom is it q great, coarse
man who opines that Mrs. z. must be
bankrupting her husband by her ex-
travagance in dress, or that Mr.. Q. Is
a skinfiiot TO gown his wife so shabbily
or that everybody wonders how Miss
Y can afford so expensive a wardrobe.
Dressing for the men. forsooth! Those

again. Women dress for the women,

A CONGRESSIONAL FUN MAKER

To turn from the serious to the humor
GUS Is not a weakness in mankind ano
lawmakers at Washington can be for
given for paying the attention that they
do to Representative Francis w. Cush'
man, of tae state of Washington, one OF
the new members of the house OF re-
representatives.. The HERALD mention
ed some time ago that Mr.. Cushman
was expected to amuse the house and
now that he has got into congressional
harness he lie trying to live up to his
reputation-only trying.
He made his maiden speech in con-
gress during the debate on the cur
rency bill. The representatives had
been debating the important bill in
serious fashion, when Mr.. Cushmsn
was introduced to lend a touch OF
humor to the proceedings. He lie only
thirty-two years old, but he told
his hearers that he had been In
favor of the single standard before any
political party in the United States
espoused it. Bimetallism, he added, 1s
as unthinkable TO him, in the sense of
biquartism or bibushelism" would be.
He declared that he would rather "go
down to the bottomless ocean of ir-
retrievable political disaster battling
for an immortal principle than to ride
into the haven of political safety uu-
der the flag OF reputation and at the
expense of the honor.of the country"
This unimpeachable sentiment ELECTED
republican applause.
He said that under the republican
financial system "the American people
had enjoyed the greatest prosperity
that ever blessed mankind from the
day that Noah left the ark" In 1896,
he continued, the democratic party
FURNISHED the American voter with a
brsnd-new soap-bubble, filed with
Nebraska wind, and asked them to
chase that over another financial
and Industrial precipice." Laughter
and applause Oh the republican side.
If he were q democrat, and had been
proved false prophet, he would be
"keeping still in six different Ian
Ruages and praying to a
just and. merc1ful Coo tnae
the American people might forget the
promises and predictions" that he
made two years ago. If it is che law
which regulates the value of gold and
oliver coins under free coinage sys-
tenn, asked Mr.. Cushman, what was 1t
that Caused the purchasing power OF
the gold dollar to rise above that of the
silver dollar in the forty years sue
oeeding 1892, when there was absolute
free coinage OF both metals? What

REVISED EDITION.
OF Sheriff Wattron's Invitation To a
HANDING.

There WAS received at the Office OF
the Arizona Republican "a black-bor-
dered missive-an invitation by Sheriff
F. J. Wsttron of Navajo county to the
execution of George Smiley, who was
hanged at Holbrook recently. 1t
would have been too late for the re-
cipiept to avail himself of the in
vitation If he had desired to do so.
The Invitation Is not without Interest
says the Republican, on account of its
difference from another issued by
Sheriff Wattron about two months ago.
Some fault was found with that invita-
ton, which disclosed a hitherto unsus-
pected vein of humor in the sheriff
which nothing but the genial influence
of hanging could bring out strong.
Governor Murphy administered an Of
ton and the newspapers of Phoenix ap-
plsuded the course of the governor.
The invitation now at hand IL a
sarcastic, rather than a funny docu-
msnt. From being humorous official
the sheriff has grown morose. The In
vitation begins with q statement that
| the revised statutes of Arizona, penal
code, Title X, Sec. 1S49, page S07. make
1t obligatory on sheriffs to Issue invita-
lions to executions, bnt unfortunately
do not prescribe any form. Thesheriff
being from Missouri would like to be
| shown how, and suggests that . COM
mittee consisting of the governor and
fault-fnding Phoenix editors, whom he
names, wait on the next legislature and
have a form of Invitation embodied in
the territorial laws.
The invitation proper is as follows,
the quoted words being those used by
the governor in his rebuke to the
sheriff for his earlier and CHASTITY levi
ty:
"Holbrook, 1-7-1O0.
Mr., --: With feelings Of pro-
found sorrow and regret 1 hereby in
vite you to attend and witness the pri-
| vate, decent ond humane execution of a
human being; name, George Smiley

executed on January 8, 1900, at 2
O'Clock D. m. You are expected to
deport yourself in a respectable man

will not be tolerated.

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

Wednesday evening, as Tom Bowers
was standing on the Empire Block cor
ner, ex-Marshal Leedom passed, when
Bowers applied an insulting epithet to
him. Leedom turned back and Bowers
drew knife, when Mr.. Sam Frick. of
Degraff, seeking to prevent trouble
threw Leedom back. Being very
strong man, he used more force than
he intended, and Leedom fell on the
paved street breaking his knee cap SO
seriously that it will cripple him for
several years. Those who saw the af-
fair say Frick intended only to prevent
trouble.
Another report is, that Frick caught
Leedom by the collar, at the back ot
his neck and threw him backward with
snch force that it tore his collar apart
] in front.

WAR NEWS.
ne British Gain an Important
Position.

London, ia n. 25.-England is rejoic

patch that Warren had taken Spior
Kop.
The dispatch read: "Gen. Warren's
troops yesterday Tuesday evening oc-
cupied Spion Kop, surprising a small
Boer garrison, who fed. 1t has been
held by us all day, though we were
heavily attacked, especially by most
annoying shell fire.
81 fear our casualties are consider
able and regret to inform you that Gen.
Woodgate is dangerously wounded.
Gen. Warren, it is believed, has rem
dered the enemy's positions untenable.
The men are in splendid condition.
According to previous dispatches
Spion Kop, which Warren has now
captured, is the key of the Boer posi-
tion. The relief of Ladysmith is now
rendered less hazardous. 1t gives the
British high ground from which to
shell the Beers. That the Beers realize
the Importance of the place is shown by
their desperate attempts to recover it.

NOT MUCH HOPE
For an EARLY Improvement on the D.
L. & N. R.R.

The people of Wapakoneta and ST.
Marys who have paid money to build
the extension of the D. L. & N. to St.
Marys want to know why the extension
hasn't been built. A delegation from
ST. Marys met Mr.. Haskell at Lima,
Tuesday, and the Lima Gazette reports
results as follows:
A delegation of representative bust
ness men of Wapakoneta, headed by L..
N. Blume, the banker, ex-senator Mel
Shaw and others, were here yesterday
in consultation with G. N. Haskell, the
promoter, in reference to what was to
become of the St. Marys branch of the
D. L. & N. road, which passes through
that place. The road has been COM
pleted about two years, and when it was
projected it was promised by the pro-
moters that cars would be running over
the line within sixty days. This is the
claim made by the Wapakoneta people,
but they claim that the promises have
not been fulfilled, hence the conference
with Haskell who met the delegation
in this city yesterday. r.os
The matter was talked over, but there
is no prospect of the immediate opera
tion OF the road, which the people along
the line most desire.
The affairs of the D. & L. N. have to
be Strengthened out and it will probably
require some time yet to do so, and the
committee returned little the wiser
than when they came.

Hadley, for $6, 500. This is nearly $50

land, showing that farm lands are look

as good price as $3.50 would have
been at the close of the war.

OPPOSITION TO DR.. RUTTER.

DR.. Rutter, superintendent of the
Epileptic asylum at Galipolis, has been
the object of bitter attack from person
al and political enemies, for several
years. He has been q warm and out
spoken friend of Governor Bushnell,
and this has made him some political
enemies who wouldn't refuse to accept
his position for some friend, and who
would like to see his head chopped off
because he wouldn't bow down to Han
ma. Then he hasn't ruu the asylum in
the interest of Gallipolis, but has
bought supplies where he could do bet
ter for the State. This has reused To-
cal prejudice against him. Again, one
of the subordinate officials in the asy-
lum failed to get along with the doctor,
and preferred charges against him of
mismanagement. The result was, the
doctor was indicated, and the subordi-
nate was removed.
All these things have multiplied the
enemies of the doctor, and they are now
on his track again, determined to Sc
cure his removal. The Board of Trus-
tees has been loyal to DR.. Rutter, rec
ognizing his pre-eminent fitness for the
position, but there is now probability
that Hon. E. S. Wilson, member of
the Board will be appointed State Lii
brarian, and if he is, this will make a
vacancy in the Board, which the enc
mics OF the doctor hope will be filed
with one Of their number, and that DIR.
Rutter can then be decapitared. A
Columbus dispatch to the Cincinnati
Tribune gives the following item in re-
gard to the situation:
Opposition to DIR. Rutter.
''The opposition to the retention of
DR.. Rutter as Superintendent of the
Gallipolis Hospital for Epileptics is sly
ing low" The plan is now said to be
to wait until Captain Ed. Wilson, of
Ironton, is made State Librarian. The
anti-Rutter men feel pretty well assured
this will be done.
Now, the Captain happens to be a
member of the Gallipolis board, and, il
he leaves it, by the promotion route, a
strong administration man will be ap.
pointed to fill the vacancy. This will
mean vote against DR.. Rutter, wheth.
er his arch enemy, Sherman Eagle,
Postmaster of Gallipolis, is put on the
board or not"
