 No lives were lost in the fires, and only eight buildings were destroyed by the flames.
 Early reports were unavoidably ex- aggerated. The burning of lumber piles gave the impression that the whole of the north part of the city was going, and no one was found who placed his estimate of the loss of life under the hundreds.
 With the smoke cleared away, the Kaw falling, and communication by boat less difficult, additional light on the subject was received Monday morning and the reduction in the es- timated loss of life followed.
 About 200 people are still at North Topeka, 150 of them being in the up per story Of the wooden mill. They are well fed but extremely uncom- fortable.

A Woman's Wealth,

GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

II is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing TO overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debi-
tated

a SCOUTS HARD LIFE.
Some of the Hardships and Dangers
That Must Be Faced.


An unfortunate, says Leslie's Month
". was sent with a dispatch to one Of
the smaller outposts in the far north
west. 1t was toward spring, when the
midday sun thaws the surface Of the
snow and the light frosts harden the
melted crusts TO glace Of ice as daZ.
Zlingly bright as the binding flashes OF
sunlight from polished steel. The thaw
had crusted over the trail, and the
scout had to keep q sharp eye on the
way not to lose the path altogether.
Suddenly the midday sun developed ex-
traordinary hues. Magenta, purple and
black patches began to dance on the
snow. alternately with wheels and
rockets of cheese colored fire. Then the
light went out altogether, though the
man knew that 1t was broad day. He
had become snow blind. The only thing
was 10 give his horse the bit.
The horse stood stock still. BY that
time he knew that he had lost the trail
altogether or the brOnChO would have
followed any visible path. Tie wheeled
the horse about. 1t still refused to 60
on. and then the man Inferred that the
crust of ice had been so hard that the
horse could not follow back the way
It had come. That night the trooper
slept under saddle blankets, with the
faithful horse standing sentry.
For five days the trooper wander
ed blindly over the prairies, losing all
count of time, eating snow TO quench
his thirst and sleeping in the holes that
the brOncho had paved through the
ice crust to the under grass. The troop
or was now too weak to mount ana
keep the saddle AS a last hope the
thought struck him that If be unsad-
died his horse and turned It loose It
might find its way back to the fort,
and so notify his friends that he was
lost. He did this, but the faithful crea-
ture refused to leave the man lying on
the snow and stood over him in spite
Of all his efforts to drive 1t off. On the
sixth day the mail carrier found the

but the rider and horse lived to see
many another days service.

THE HORSES FEET.
1t Is Important as Well as Humane
to Give Them Close Care.

to Give Them Close Care.
The horses feet should be frequently
examined IL he Is to be protected from
such accidents as the picking up of
nails, glass and strips of metals of va
rlous forms and sizes, says an ex-
change The frequency with which
creased vigilance on the part Of those
that handle horses. IL the horse steps
on a nail, even though the head be up,
he may catch 1t in part Of the foot
that forces 1t out Of the rotten board
in which 1t was previously held. The
next step of the horse drives the head
Of the nail farther into Its resting
place in the foot. The point Of the foot
that is most subject to such mishaps is
the frog and the cleft just behind the
frog. Not only metal, but splinters Of
wood, find their way into this vulnera-
BILE region and become the cause Of
pain to the horse, with subsequent
lameness. 1t is fortunate for the horse
If the injury Is such that he shows
lameness thus leading to an investiga-
ton of the feet and discovery of the
cause. A good many times the In
jury is not sufficiently great to cause a
show of lameness, but 1t Is great
enough to cause pain to the poor beast,
and that for days at time. Frequent
ly this is manifested by disinclina-
ton to rest the weight on this foot
when in the stable. In motion the pain
is not sufficient to prevent the horse
putting his foot down as usual. Such
Injuries are found for the first time
when the horse has to be rushed. HUI
mainly should lead us to frequently
examine the feet to see that all things
are in normal condition.-Midlana
Farmer.
