valuable ram has had made for him

rams teeth decayed, but the owner

Angoras In Demand.
Goat Breeding is Becoming More
And More Profitable in
The West.

The goat breeders who have been
quietly preparing for boom in the
industry are likely to be very much
in line during the next year. Down
in New Mexico there is one breeder
who has about 10000 Angoras and
there are number with focks from
900 to 5000 head. The Kansas
City Packer says;
There is going to be greater de
mand during 1901 for purebred An
CORA bucks than all the present well
known breeders can supply. The de-
pan6 is coming mainly from the mio-
Hdle West and South, but scattering
orders will be booked from as far
east as Maine, thence along the north
ern tier of states to Minnesota. Reg.
istered bucks only will be wanted.
II breeders who have firstclass stock
will use good common sense and not
get wild they can cause the industry
to treble in twelve months time.
Fancy prices will not be paid. The
breeder who is looking to the future
and to reputation will put out a
good stock at fair living prices, de-
pending upon second, third and many
other orders to follow from the same
locality to which he first shipped

last week is as follows:
Trade conditions still favor the buy.
er. The general fall demand. though
fair In view OF the midsummer condi.
ton, Is still below expectations and be-
low q year ago; bank clearinEs are at
the lowest for two years past and fail.
ures are slightly more numerous,
though no marked tendencies are per.
ceptible. On the other hand, gross rail.
way earnings hold their percentage Of
gain previously shown, and where
prices are made low enough to satisfy
buyers, heavy business is uncovered
and readily booked. pointing TO de-
mand being still present and awaiting
disposal.
The crop situation. as q whole, Is
better; the outlook as to corn is for q
?, 100, 00o. 000-bushel crop. Spring wheat
Is turning out better in quality and
quantity than expected and there has
been an unQuestonable Improvement in
cotton crop conditions The yield Of
apples will be the largest in many
years, and fruits generally are yielding
literally and commanding good prices.

Kansas City. Aug. GA Jurnal spe-
cih from Salina, Kan, says:
Union Pacific east-bound passenger
train No. 4, which left Denver Sunday
night. was held up by two men several
miles west OF Hugo. Col, 80 miles this
side Of Denver. The passengers in the
Pullman sleepers were robbed Of their
money and valuabIes. An old man
named Fry. a resident Of California,
on his way to St. Louis. refused to sur.
named Fay. a resident Of California,
render his yaluables and fired shot at
one OF the robbers, but missed him.
ThereupOn the robbers returned the
fire. one shot entering Fay's mouth
and coming out at the back OF his head,
killing him almost instantly.
The robbers stopped the train, jump
ed OF and escaped.
The robbers got onto one Of the sleep
ers near Lmon and after the train had
started the men made a noise at the
door. The conductor, thinking they
were tramps, opened the door to put
them on. The robbers, who were
masked. pointed a pistol at his head
and ordered him to lead the way
through the coaches. All OF the pas
sengers were asleep and the conductor
was ordered to wake them one at a
time. The frightened passengers were
told 10 keep quiet or they would be
killed, and at the same time were asked
to hand over their money and valu-
ables. The robbers obtained about 500
In cash and a number Of gold watches
and other pieces Of jewelry.
The robbery took place a few min
utes before / o'clock this morning.
The body Of Fay, who was killed, was
taken on at Hugo and shipped to Den
yer. He was IS years Of age and a
prominent Odd Fellow Of California.
The conductor, who was compelled to
hold a bag while the robbers relieved
the passengers, lost his watch and
asked that it be returned to him in
order that he might run his train on
time. The robbers gave II back.
After ransacking the two coaches,
the men made the conductor pull the
bell cord. but the train was going SO
rapidly that the robbers were taken to

the conductor to get on ahead Of them.
so that il any Of the passengers had
been in waiting they would have shot
him first After the robbers had dis
mounted, they ordered the conductor
to return TO his train.
Miss Shaw Of Denver, passenger on
the train, arrived in Salfna this morn
ing. She stated that when the men en-
tered the car everyone was asleep and
very few knew anything Of what was
going on until they were awakened by
the robbers. When the men came to
her berth a pistol was pointed at her
face and was told to be quiet and hand
over her valuables. With great pres
ence Of mind. she opened her pocket
book. letting q number Of bills fall out
and then handed the purse. containing
some silver. to the robbers She also
managed to save her watch, which was
pinned to her dress. by placing her
arm over It

Nearly 1000. 900 pounds OF wool has
been secured at Pendleton, Ore, during
the present season and about tho same
amount is already in sight for the local
securing mills to scour from the 1900
clip. The quantity to be secured this
season falls below that Of former aver,
age years, for the reason that growers
have held so much of their wool that
i is not known Just what disposition
will be made Of it Growers persist in
waiting until after the presidential
election before selling their 1900 clips
and the attitude Of buyers in refusing
offers also tends to tie up the wool.
