Advance of the Trolley.

Fifteen years ago the trolley came
to the rescue of the horse. Its begin
ming was modest, In fact, deferential.
In the great cities the cable held noisy
possession of the principal thourough-
fares of urban travel, while the patient
horse hobbled over the pavements Of
the lesser streets and did his best to
accommodate the suburban residents
with a means of reaching their place
of business before lunch time, says the
st. Paul Globe.
This was 10 years ago-not a very
long time, yet long enough to enable
the trolley to drive the cable out of
business and the horse into other
fields of usefulness. Not content with
these signal victories, the trolley pro-
poses to invade the territory of the
freight engine and control the distri-
button of suburban produce.
Trolley lines are being fitted with
freight cars to handle the vegetables
of the gardener and the milk dairyman
Instead of the truck wagon rumbling
into the city in the early morning
laden with sweet smelling onions, rad
ishes, cabbage and new potatoes, the
refrigerator trolley car will steal into
the market place and discharge these
gifts Of the gods, cool from the virgin
soil of the gardener. More than this,
the milk drawn from the udders of the
mild-eyed kline at five o'clock in the
morning will at six o'clock be tran
sported, minus the churning proc ess
of the milk wagon, to the back door of
the fat in town. In the evening, par
GELS from the department stores and
baskets of groceries will be delivered
for distribution at the suburban sub
stations.
This tendency to assume the duties
of freight carrier will tend to push
the lines out into the country and
thereby afford greater facilities for
passenger travel Combination cars
viii be run in the morning, and in the
evening where the passenger traffic of
the day will not warrant a 10 minute
schedule. All this is near at hand.

Don,t seII Your stock.

From all over Kansas and the south
west comes the cry that the long drouth
is forcing the men who have live stock
to sell them for the reason they can
not hope to raise enough feed to carry
them through the winter. From the
range districts cattle are being moved
to the markets as rapidly as possible.
As result the cattle receipts for June
at Kansas City are heavier than they
have been for ten years. The present
dry weather is working a double hard
ship on many farmers. 1t is cutting
this years crops very short and forcing
him to part with his live stock before
it reaches a marketable age. Kansas
has had many years very similar to the
the present and many men lost hope
and parted with about every animal
on the place but the farm team and
the old milk COW. The next season
brought big crops and cheap prices
and then came years of hard stTug-
CLING before an independent position
was attained by these unfortunate
farmers. As we have stated, such con
ditions have repeated themselves num-
erous times and many farmers who are
now confronted with a shortage Of
grain and pasture have met such con-
ditions before.
We believe that right now every far
mer who feels he has a surplus of stock
on his place should do some mighty
hard thinking before he decides to
dispose of it. He has, we are sure,
learned that a farm without livestock
is a poor paying property. Let him
think long before he decides to sell
and sell only when he sees necessity
before him. The farmer who will man
age to hold on to his cows and young
stock and tide them over until next
season will find himself in much better
circumstances than his neighbor who
parts with his stock at the present
time. 1t viii rain one of these days
and feed will be plentiful. You will
thank yourself that you have hung on
like "grim death" when this little
furry is over. Don't give up your
/ livestock Topeka Advocate.

AGAIN IN 1902.
Strong Probability That the Northwest
Kansas g A. K. Reunion VIII Come
to GoodIand Next Year.

There is a prospect that the @. A. r.
OF northwest Kansas will hold its an
nuaI reunion at Goodland in 1902. This
year the reunion will be held &C Wa
Keeney in September. In 1892 the re-
union was held here, and the time has
rolled around when GoOdland can
claim it again.
Veterans all over this part Of the
state still speak enthusiastically Of the
meeting here and say they had the
best time ever enjoyed at a reunion.
The committee that has the matter in
charge have promised representatives
Of the local post that it shall be at
GoodIand next year.
There is an arrangement on foot to
let the observance of July 4 go else
where next year and make main
push for the reunion here on Sept
ember 3, the fifteenth anniversary Of
the location of the county seat at
Goodland, and make the two affairs
one big event.
Some Of the business men and lead
ing citizens have promised to raise sew
eral hundred dollars for the joint
celebration. With a good-sized dele
CATION at the WaKeeney reunion it
will not be difficult to have the matter
arranged with the committee and the
next reunion for 1902 fixed for Good
land

small colony of men who are of
the opinion that women are not neees-
sary to their happiness are about to
establish themselves in q ssIubrious
and fertile corner of the state Of New
York and to vigorously exclude from
their midst all women, both young and
old. In this way they viii find peace
and avoid worry. Their friendships
will be undisturbed, their minds viii
be unruffled, their work and their
amusements will show no checks, and
they seem to fancy that they will all
be supremely happy. OF course, the
scheme viii end In dismal failure. The
cooks may be perfect, the Chinese
lanndrymen may wash and mend most

ments may be thoroughly carried out
by male servitOrs, but there is great
consolation IN the knowledge that man
wiz not be satisfied al the time. He

having something at which to grumble.
More than all be viii miss being ad-

more insistent than that Of woman, no

NO. 48.
Engineer Boyle Win EagIne s0s Gees
from GOOdiand TO Norton, 1O6 Mnsa
in 10 Minutes

Probably the fastest run ever made
on the Rock Island road and one that
ranks with the best railroad records In
the country for the distance was made
by Engineer James Boyle and Fire
man JEFF Powers, with engine 9O7, on
No. -, the Rock Island eastbound
Rocky Mountain limited, Tuesday
night.
The train was delayed one hour and
50 minutes between Claremont and Be
thune, Col, by engine 9S7, Engineer
Patrick in charge, breaking down. The
disabled engine managed to pull the
train to Kanorado where it was met BY
the 907, sent out from Goodland.
When Engineer Boyle pulled out Of
GoOdland with the train he was still
an hour and 80 minutes behind sched-
ule time, but there is nothing more to
his liking than having an opportunity
to make up time. A full tank Of water
had been taken while waiting at Kan
oradO and after leaving GOOdland no
stops were made until Norton was
reached where No. was met and the
then empty tank refilled, all Of which
required about five minutes. It Is los
miles from Goodland to Norton and
the distance was covered in 110 min
utes. Mr.. Boyle turned the train over
to the next engineer at PhiIlipsburg
only p minutes late, making up one
hour and five minutes on the already
fast schedule in the 40 miles.
Another notable feature Of the run
was in going from KanOrado to Norton,
124 miles, without taking water. The
engine is of the fast passenger type
with a single pair Of drivers to each
side, and the train consisted of six
cars

The standard for Cavalry Horses.


Horses are becoming higher in price
every year. Six years ago the horse
market was more than supplied, and
good horses could be had at half price.
The demand for horses in the armies
Of the world may be given as among
the reasons for the change. The de-
mand, especially in this country, is for
good horses, and at prices which give q
large profit. The United States gov
eminent has trouble ia securing horses
for the cavalry regiments of the army.
The British government is still finding
all it wants in this country, and a re-
cent statement of the war secretary in
the house of commons indicates the
quality of those secured is perfectly
satisfactory. The United States offers
more for the horses but insists upon
conditions which are near impossible.
Iity of fulfIlment. Col. E. S. Godfrey,
of San Antonio, recently made an ex-
tended journey in his official capacity
Of inspector through the state and be-
ing offered over 700 horses for cavalry
purposes only accepted one less than
100 head

Two or three novelties in shirt waists

than any other styles shown at this

feature in shirt waists is that IN which
a diagonal direction Of the fabric from

secured without cutting the fabric bias
It is a novel effect and several shirt

A Pardon Tor an Inventor.

5. r. Dawson, q convict in the Iowa
penitentiary, was pardoned by Gov.
Shaw Monday through the influence Of
capitalists as Mr.. Dawson held the
secret Of making Damascus steel and a
process for hardening copper. He was
sent to prison for term of ten years
in 1895 for killing a young man by
name Of Scott, who had married his
daughter against the fathers will.
The old man carried his secret to prison
with him and tenacio1sly kept the key
that locked the formula in q safety
deposit vault of tue Des- moines Natl
onal bank. Before be was arrested aud
sent to prison tests had been made that
proved beyond question the worth OF
the process. Dawson is at present at
home in Des Moines and a company
which was organized before his i'm
prisonment is now anxious to begin
operations to manufacture the steel.
The old man is suspicious, however,
and refuses to be cheated out Of his
secret.

Prompt Payment of a Big Hail Loss.

Prompt Payment OF a Big Hail Loss
August johnson, of LaBlanche, was
one of several farmers who suffered a
total loss of their crops by hail on
July 6. Mr.. Johnson carried insurance
on about 100 acres of wheat in the St.
Paul Fire and Marine Insurance com
pany, written by B. T. Brown, local
agent. The adjuster came here July
ID and allowed the loss and paid Mr..
johnson 1925. This is certainly re-
cord in quick payment of insurance,
Mr.. johnson receiving his money in
less than week after having suffered
the loss.
J. B. Moore, also of LaBlanche, suf-
fered a small loss during the same
storm and was allowed three per cent.
His insurance was written in the Kan
sas State Mutual, of Mcpherson.

 Woman Demanded Shave.

s'N-e-x-t!' roared the barber in the lit- tie shop adjoining the Helping Hand Mis- sion, on Ontario street, yesterday morn ing. A man made rush for the chair, but tall blond woman in an automobile coat beat him by half a second.
 q want a shave" said the woman
 '.What?" asked the barber. and when the full significance or the demand dawn ed upon him he let fall a mug of lather into the eyes of a customer who was in the next chair.
 The woman without another word took off her coat, laid back her collar, and climbed into the chair, throwing her feet upon the rest.
 "A close shave. MT. Barber she said, and the man who styles his place a ton sorial parlor and who guarantees good job on the head for dime and better job on the face for a nickel, came near dropping his razor.
 He thought the woman was crazy until he detected a heavy beard on her upper lip and chin He lathered her face well and started to work.
 ''Who are going to vote for for Mayor, sir?" asked the barber
 ''Sirl'' came feminine voice, and the face scraper executed fancy side step around the chair. The woman closed her eyes and the barber again took up his work The woman yawned and slowly opened her eyes.

 Il should think so,'' was the reply, and the propretor menacingly shook his razor to a crowd of newsboys who threatened to stampede the shop.
 As the barber rubbed his hand over the well-shaved chin of the woman he asked;
 Want your hair t<mmed?}
 .'No."
 You need a little tonic; it is getting thin on top.

White Rats," Managers and Public

 The association of vaudeville perform CTS which rejoices In the name of the White Rats has been engaged in a war with the Vaudeville Managers Associa- tion, and has worsted the enemy. The conflict arose from the effort of the man. agers to deduct from the White Rats earnings a commission of per cent nom- inally charged for the services of book ing agents. although all bookings are now made through the managers and without the services of agents The entire sum lost to the Rats in this way amounted to between $150000 and $300000 year. Af- ter strike affecting performances in sev- eral eastern cities the Vaudeville Mana gers Association has acceded to the per- formers demands, which appear to have been quite just.
 The general public is not so much in- terested in the settlement of this case, which Is a matter for performers and managers to fight out on their own ac- count, as in the general principle of sym dicate control of amusements. The war of the White Rats has brought conspic- uously to notice the fact that in the east at least vaudeville, like 'legitimate' the atrical shows in general, is under the do-
