Practically all the ice sold in
the south is artificial, but the pris e
is less than what is charged in
many northern cities where ice is
cut from lakes and ponds. In the
city OF New Orleans the price IS
twenty-five cents per hundred

FALLS OF THE ARKANSAS.

II the boys OF Pueblo and Flor

| Arkansas river at point a couple
of miles above La Junta they
would understand what is the mat
ter with the good old stream in the
way OF fish. Possibly also they
might be tempted to get some
dynamite and blow an opening
that would let the fish come up TO
this part OF the river. At that
point there IS what may be called
the falls OF the Arkansas dam
eight or ten fee, high the whole
width OF the river The i'm

canal is there located. and IL is a
more or less picturesque place,

a few weeks ago there was present

miles north OF Lamar, but the
canal also supplies water to large
tracts oi fine land along its route
TO the lakes. A short dista ace
down the canal from the headgate
is cottonwood grove, and this is
favorite picnicking resort for
children OF La Junta Subsequent
to the visit OF the Pueblo excursion
lists the river swept down there for
one or two days in such overwhelm-
ing volume that it overflowed the
wagon road alongside the canal,
and poured over the dam like d
young Niagara. Even at the time
of the visit the sight was a grand
one. The dam, built oil lumber, is
$50 feet long, and over it swept
the strong, swift, yellow tide OF
the Arkansas, which fell in a uni.

Frost is simply dew deposited in solid
form. Hoar.frost is formed under the
same circumstances as dew with the ex-
ception of lower temperature. When
the temperature of plants falls below 80
the moisture of the air is condensed
upon them in the solid state and forms
a layer of spongy ice. Hoar-frost,
therefore, is not frozen dew but the
moisture of the air is deposited in the
solid form without having passed
through the liquid condition. Hoar.
frost, like dew, is deposited chiefly upon
those bodies which radlate best, such as
plants and the leaves of vegetables and
the deposit is made principally on those
parts which are turned toward the sky.
Since plants sometimes become cooled
by radiation from - degrees to Is de.
grees below the temperature of the sur.
rounding air, frost may occur
although a thermometer a few feet
above the ground does not sink to 80
degrees. During clear and still night,
when a thermometer six feet above
ground sinks to So degrees, very heavy
frost may be expected and slight frost
may be expected when same thermome.
ter sinks to Al degrees.

Solitude.

Alone. 1t is good for the soul at times |
to be alone. 1t is only when alone
that one may freely hold communion
with his own soul; may look at himself
with his own eyes and find out what
manner of man he is. In the presence
of others, one is ever on guard, not
only of his words, but of his thoughts,
that he may not betray that which he
would not have known. Every man has
secret chambers in his heart, which he
alone must enter, the doors of which he
opens only when alone. Then he may
throw light on his motives of action.
then he may question conscience; then
he may face truth in his own heart and
see himself as he is, not as he appears.
We need these things for self.examina-
ton and self-regulating. We need to
know our weak points and our strength;
to see what we have been, and what is
of far greater import, what we shall be.
We cannot make an honest examination
of our hearts, without despising the evil
we find there. This should inspire new
courage and determination to put the
wrong behind us and strike out bravely
for the right. We may look ahead and
gather hope. All this cannot be done
in crowds. 1t is weak character that
can never sustain itself in an hour of
solitude.
Alone. Are we ever quite alone?
Memory brings throng around us, lit.
tie less real than the crowd from which
we have escaped. Scenes of childhood 8
days rise wildly before us. Friends of
other years are near and words once
spoken in the long ago, come whispered
in our ears. We seem to receive odor of
a rose and day and an hour of the
past returns to us. A dear presence is
near, so real that we almost involuntar-
lily reach out hand to touch it.
In these hours of solitude, sacred to
memory, we dwell on things that were
dear. That which was dark in the days
past, is surrounded by a golden halo
concealing dark visions and lighting up
the clouds. The silver lining is turned
toward US. In memory, the cup of sor.
row is less bitter.
In the hour when we think ourselves
most alone, ministering spirits are heal
ing our wounds, are pouring balm on
the hurts. They put new life in our
veins, new energy in our brain, new
hope in our heart. Our solitary hours
are blessings in our lives.
Go to the silence Of your own room;
go to the field or woods, where only the
earth is beneath your feet, natures
handiwork about you and the deep,
limitless sky overhead, and be alone
with self, and thus renew strength,
courage and hope.-Milwaukee Journal.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The firm position taken by the demo-
Gratis on state issues is going to force the
railway taxation question to the front
before the campaign closes, and make
the present campaign purely a state
campaign after all. 1t seems the criti'
cisms of Governor Shaw's position,
favoring the railways, on the executive
council, made by the newspapers of the
state, have stirred him up, and he is de-
Tending his position and claiming the
railways have not been favored.
On this topic, the Des Moines News,
independent, pertinently remarks:
Governor Shaw has seen fit to justify,
in campaign speech, his position with
respect to the assessment of railroad
property. The governor believes, and
in this regard he is consistent with his
views in the past, that the railroads are
paying their just taxation. Indeed a
fair construction of his Boone speech
would justify the headlines Of the Regis
ter this morning which says the cover.
nor "gives facts. figures and logic to
show that the railroads now pay more
than their equitable share of taxes"
Governor Shaw is and has been the
champion of this side of the long con-
troversy concerning railroad taxation.
Mr.. John Herriott, candidate for lieu
tenant governor on the republican
ticket is and has been the champion Of
the other side Of the question, contend
ing with the governor as member Of
the executive council, that the railroads
are inequitably assessed as between
each other and that some of them are
escaping their just share of the burdens
of state taxation. The controversy led
to Mr.. Herriott's protests" against the
assessments of the executive council.
The question entered largely into the
pre.convention campaign having much
to do with the nomination Of Mr.. Cum.
minis. More than thirty county conven-
tons supported in more or less degree,
the contention Of Mr.. Herriott.
The News is glad the matter has come
up again since the convention. 1t
seemed for time as if the important
issue of the campaign had been relegat-
ed. Governor Shaw has put it to the
front again and Mr.. Herriott may be ex-
pected to accept the challange. The
Boone speech assumes full discussion
on both sides. That is important. 1t
is rash man who will contend for any
hard and fast system of assessing rail
road property without considering OBJ.
jectionable features. The important
thing is that the matter be agitated and
out Of that agitation will come solu-
ton. The people Of the state, regard
less of party, will be pleased at the rein

.AAcURABLE'' HEART DISEASE SOON
CURED.

During the last two or three years
very great improvement has been made
in the treatment of diseases of the heart.
Cases formerly considered incurable now
readily yield to new remedies. The we'll
known specialist in treating heart dis
eases, Franklin Miles, M. D., L l.. B., of
Chicago, will send $3.50 worth of his
new Special Treatment free to any of
our afflicted readers.
This liberal offer is for the purpose of
demonstrating the unusual curative pow.
er of his new Treatments for heart
troubles, such as short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chest, irreg.
ular pulse, palpitation, smothering
spells, putting of the ankles or dropsy.
They are the result of twenty-five
years of careful study, extensive research
and remarkable experience in treating
diseases of the heart, stomach and
nerves, which often omplicate each case.
The treatments are prepared expressly
for each patient, as the result is very
much more certain and satisfactory,
Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies. And there Is no rea-
son why all afflicted persons should not
avail themselves of this liberal offer.
| No death comes more suddenly than
that from heart disease. Thousands die
unnecessarily each year because most
physicians do not understand these
cases.

heart dropsy, after five leading physicians had
