The difficulty of classifying con-
scripts in the French army according
to fitness for service has been in
geniously solved by NJ. Pignet, a
French army surgeon. His method
Is based on the relations of chest
measurement and weight. He adds
the chest measurement to the weight,
and deducts the result from the
height. The smaller the residuum
the greater is the endurance of the
subject. Thus, young man of 90
has an average chest measurement
of so centimeters and weighs co
kilogrnmmes. The sum of these is
140. His average height is one me-
ter go centimeters. Deducting 140
from 16O gives 20 as the classification.
The number ranges from ten, very
strong, to 35. very weak. An e1ami-
nation of 500 men has fully borne out
the conclusion that the higher the
residuum the greater is the liability
to illness, and vice versa.

The County Wins.

The application OF George W. Woods
Of Craig against Routt county for an
injunction to restrain the county author
tiles trom opening a road through
several thousand acres of land leased by
him frsln the state, was heard before
Judge " T. Shumate at chambers at
Aspen, July 18th, upon aftidavits and
exhibits The case on part of Mr..
Woods awas represented by II. j.
O'Brya 20. of Denver. assisted by j. W.
Downing, of Aspen, and the county by
J. n. Harding. county attorney, assisted
by Judge H. T. Sale Of Denver. Judge
Sale made most exhaustive review Of
the laH relating to roads, which was
followed by Mr.. Harding in full ex-
pcsitioa of the facts and law. So fully
was tho law and facts on the part Of the
county presented and the acts Of the
board County Commissioners shown
~ be kal beyond question, that the
defen1 lecBnsd % make any attempt
st mt Judge shumats then refused
Esossxnt njnhetion, holding ali Of
the road proceedings to be perfectly
legal.
The case has caused considerable
feeling at Craig where the great wealth
of Mr.. Woods and his influence are well
known, and 1t was correctly reported
that he would spend many thousand
dollars to stop the road. 1t was feared
that be might be able to do SO. But the
county has won great victory in this
matter, as many people believe they can
fence or ancroach on public roads with
impunity. The commissioners deter
mined to fight the Woods case to fin
ish. and will see that all roads hereafter
shall be kept Steamboat Sentinel.
No wonder "Christian Science" is
popular with fools; it enables them to
think themselves wise.

THE GREAT DRoUrH.
How it is Affecting Live Stock
and the Loss to StOckmen.

How it is Affecting Live Stock
and the Loss to StOckmen.
II have visited the stock yards ut
Kansas City many times" remarked
Charles s. Onderdonk. the great goat
raiser Of New Mexico. at the Brown
hotel yesterday. "but never have wit
messed scene like that Of Yesterday at
the stock yards. Every pen was filled
with cattle. There we're 25,0OO head Of
cattle on the market and the stock yards
management telegraphed to the head
quarters Of the railways begging the
roads to stop the movement to Kansas
City. The commission men were loaded
with orders to sell, which they were not
able to accomplish. and the packing
houses declared they had all the cattle
they could possibly handle. Owners Of
stock excitedly ran from one place to
another to dispose of their stock. The
heat so affected the fat cattle that their
painting could be heard block away. 1
saw hundreds of magnificent steers,
weighing ], 600. 200, 500 pounds each,
with their sides vibrating like pair of
bellows. They were suffering intensely
and many of them died on the road to
the city. l hope never to be obliged to
see cattle undergoing so much suffering
again. The condition appeared abso-
lutely beyond control, and what is to
become of tens of thousands of cattle in
Kansas, in similar condition, no one
can say"
The views of Mr.. Onderdonk are &C.
cepted by number of live stock men
men of Denver who have been watching
the progress of the drouth. They fear
that immense losses cannot be averted.
The question of shipping the cattle to
other parts of the country is being dis
cussed and special terms have been
asked from the railroads. The Missou-
ri Pacific closed contract to move
5000 head from the drouth- stricken
region OF eastern and central Kansas to
the Arkansas valley. Two trains from
the vicinity Of Wichita reached the
western part Of Kansas Yesterday,

ranch Of W. L. Knight, eight miles out
of Pueblo, where they will be turned
upon pasture. Contracts have been
closed for the movement of l5O carloads
of longhorns into southern Colorado.
This is only the beginning.
President J. w. Springer of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association is greatly
concerned over the outlook and was
yesterday in consultation with num-
ber of prospective cattle buyers, who
are attracted by the inducements offered
by low prices In Kansas. The advice Of
Mr.. Springer liz for buyers first to be
sure of prompt shipment. He advises
against bringing the cattle to the north
ern ranges, as feed will not hold out.
and when winter comes along the cost
of feeding will wipe out the profits. In
his opinion feed will be very high next
winter and this is thing cattle buyer
is obliged to consider carefully. Mr..
Springer advises the southern ranges If
pasturage can be depended upon

1t is hoped that the Maclay history
may bring the whole outrageous Samp-
son-Schiey affair to crisis. There is
little doubt that Schley could recover
heavy damages by suing Maclay, or
could send him to Jail for criminal libel
If he preferred. This might, or might
not, smoke out the high navy officers
who are back of the covert attack on an
officer who has officially received moth
but praise from the government. For
several years now the people have be-
lieved that an organized conspiracy to
ruin Schley has existed. having its head
in the Bureau of Navigation, and 1t Is
time that 1t should be exposed. Presi-
dert McKinley's regard for his own
reputation should impel him to settle
this matter once and for all.
