More Horses Than Men Are Killed
in War.
In the Franco German War, 1870. ut
Gravelotte, the German cavalry lost
200 horses and 100 men, while their
artillery lost 1900 horses and $50 men,
At vrinville, terribly fierce battle,
the German cavalry lost 1000 horses
an 1 400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and 730 men; but at the
battle of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only so horses to go men. This
shows that when the fighting is close

bers than the horses.
From the relative loss of men and
horses you can tell whether 1t was a
defeat or victory; for in victory
horses lost would not be very great,
while in defeat and retirement the
loss of horses would be immense.
In we'll contested hand-to-hand
fight Of cavalry the loss of horses Is
about equal to the loss Of men. When
the British troops were engaged in
the Peninsular War they lost in each
Of the Is battles an average Of Is
horses to 10 men, showing fierce and
close fighting.
On the other hand. the loss Of horses
is very great when the cavalry have
to 60 long distance over open ground
before delivering the charge, as they
are exposed to the enemy's fire. AT

Chances In War.


War Is not such dangerous game
as people think. In spite Of ell efforts
to annihilate each other, enemies do
comparatively slight damage. During
the Franco-German War, with its
scores Of battles QUA vast scale, only
10 1-2 men in each 1000 were killed
and 1OS wounded, while 1-2,per 1000
were missing. Thus any soldier ell
gagged had about nine chances to one
that he would not get scratch, and
over fifty chances to one that he
would not be killed. Most of tile
wounds received were slight-that is
to say. one fourth Of all the wounds
were severe, and three fourths were
slight. But it is surprising how small
a wound disables a man and knocks
him out of the ranks.

friend, General" Dick.
General Grosvonor's heroic ser
vices for the cause Of the Union dur
ing the war of the rebellion, which
were always performed vt his home
in Athens when a great battle was
in progress, first endeared him to
the hearts Of his countrymen and
put him in line for congressional
honors. Since wearing the latter

of Ohio General Grosvenor found \
master after his own heart. The re-
lations between master and man In
this case have been not only cordial
but mutually profltable-at least un-
til the shadow of General Dick cross
ed the horizon. General Grosvenor
knows where to apply for funds to
meet his political emergencies, and
never fails to get them. He will
have super-abundance Of lucre in
his coming campaign; but for all
that the tired feeling that has afflict-
ed the Republicans Of the Eleventh
district since they realized that a
perennial patriarch had been fast
ened upon them for an indefinate
period as their representative in con-
gress, may cause Mr.. Hanna's bood-
lie in that district to be distributed
in vain next fall. There is strong
suspicion throughout the state that
there is 'too much Grosvenor" on
tap, and this impression is said to
deepen as the weary traveller ap-
proachss Athens. If the Democrats
of that section are not overawsd by
the size of Mr.. Hanna's bank ac-
count and show the pluck due their
principles, they may, with the as
sistance of many Republicans in the

that he serve In this office.
George Rauch, republican, won
by 54 votes for Cemetery Trustee.
He has made good officer, and
was complimented by the demo-
Gratis for his efficiency.
The Democrats elected assessors
and councilmen in the First and
Fou rth wards and the Republicans
in the Second and Third wards.
The contest In the Third ward for
councilman between DR.. Raney,
democrat, and A. Magoon, republi-
can, was a tie, each receiving 80
votes. This was quite a compli-
ment to DIR. Rsney, as the ward Is
40 republican. They settled the
contest by casting lots, and Mr.
Magoon won. The council now
stands 8 republicans and 8 demo-
Gratis.
The race for township Office can
hardly be called contest. The
republican candidates were not on
the ballot by mistake In certifying,
and therefore their vote was very
light. Mr.. Amendt for Trustee,
Ed. Hartley for Clerk, Nick Shorr
for Justice and Jas Hardesty for
Assessor, all Democrats were easily
elected.

Canada's Fuel Problem.

THE most serious problem that con-
fronts the Canadian people Of the fu-
ture," says Colonel Seyfert in a letter
to the State Department from STRAIT
ford, 'is material for fuel. The gigan-
tic lumber industry and the great au-
nual forest fires have so denuded the
timber area Of Ontario that the people
are thoroughly alarmed about the fu-
ture fuel aupply. Hard wood for fuel
Is now worth from Sc to $S cord and
soft from S3 to So, while, coal, which Is
all imported from the United States,
costs Sc a ton. The item of fuel is,
therefore one of the heaviest expenses
to every person in this latitude of long
and severe winters. An ordinary resi-
dent will consume no less than $1OO
worth of fuel year. 1t has been we'll
known for years that there are exten'
sive beds of peat bog in Canada, and
particularly in the providence of On

the last six months to utilize this
product of nature. In Holland, Ireland,
Wales and Bavaria peat has long been
the chief fuel used by the people. The
recent invention of machinery by
means of which vast areas of hitherto
unused bogs can be converted into
marketable peat has opened up new

Alcoholism and Crime.

The alcoholic craving accounts for
many a confirmed criminal. Doubtless
the tendency exists in minor degree
as belonging to all habituals, who
make 1t a secondary part of their
life, teetotalers being rarely met with
in criminal walks. But there is large
number of hopeless prisoners whose
only idea of life is drunkenness at
any cost. In such the craving makes
the criminal, and as the drink cannot
be obtained without money other
means are resorted to, such as break

Greatest Arsenal and ArmOry

Rock Island, ILL.,, claims distinction
as the site of the largest United States
arsenal and armory. 1t was first occu-

During the civil war it was used as n
military prison. A large proportion of
the supplies and ammunition used dur

turned out by the 1900 men employed
in the government shops connected
with the arsenal In less than five
months, while the war was in progress,
the expenditures for supplies and
wages aggregated $2,600,000, and the
articles manufactured ranged from
breechloading field guns to tin cups.

work done during the war, has ordered
