The particular form of human

minently before the public is cru

animal most frequently involved
is the horse. This cruelty is not
only beastly in the instincts that
causes, but it is injurious to the
"brute" who performs il. When

ed for it, he associates the lashing
with the shying, and when next be
sees an object that causes him to
repeat the offense, be is terrified,
expecting the lash again. and thus
the offense is augmented. Only
few days ago in the streets of Dali
las, we saw a man riding q horse
that stumbled slightly. This SO
enraged the beastly rider that he
jerked the bride reins alternately
until the horses mouth bled free

man dismounted aud continued his
abuse until tho animal was 30 ter
rified that he pulled loose and ran
away. pulling the man down on
the rough clods of the street. If
his face had struck the ground and
permanently dis6gured him. We
could not have sympathized with
him in the least. Many men who
would resent charge of cruelty
will cut a horses tail off, merely
because some conceited toady does

MEANS OF PROGRESS.


10x8b ofm uuo p1uCo.
1t may be stated as q truth that
will not be questioned. that q man
cast upon an uninhsbited island
in the midst of an unfrequented
sea, might live for a heightened
life time without making any per-
ceptible advance in knowledge.
He would have only personal ex-
perience to depend upon. The
most ignorant races on earth have
had as much experience as the
wisest; but the acquisition of
knowledge requires means as we'll
as time and labor. In fact, "his-
tory furnishes no record of an I'M.
civilized race who ever became
civilized without outside aid"
Some apparent cases of auto-civi-
lization that were depended upon
to refute Bishop Whstely's dictum
above quoted, have long ago been
abandoned for want of proof. This
emphasizes the fact that men or
nations who would learn must
commune With other men or ma
tions, or remain in ignorance. The
most eminent writer's on mental
philosophy agree that experience
has led men into more errors than
all other causes combined. The
most ignorant men are those that
commit the most errors-yet the
ignorant have, generally rs much
experience as the most wise; but
they have depended upon personal
experience and neglected the only
means of advancement, alluded to
above. Communion with others
may be personal or by reading
what they have written. OF these
two methods it is difficult to de-
termine which is the most eAec.
tive, though more people may be
reached by means of the pen than
by the voice. Yet the personal in.
terview has many advantages. In
the former case you take what is
offered, and in the latter you call
for what you want and if it is in
stock you get it. In new and
sparsely settled countries, pro-
gress is slow, because of isolation.
When neighbors accumulate until
daily intercourse is the rule, pro.
gress is more rapid. Farmers
have suffered from isolation more
than others, because they have
more Of it, and did not know what
q clog it was to the wheels Of pro.
gress. It is different now, but
not az distinctly different as il
ought to be. If the farmers in
every neighborhood would meet
together once a month to discuss
farm topics, the best farmer in the
meeting would soon find that be
could learn something from the
very worst farmer in the csmmu.
nifty. The old dictum that, "he is
q wise man indeed who cannot
learn something from q fool" has
never been refuted. If q wise
man can learn something from q
fool, those who are not wise can
surely learn much from those who
are far from being fools, provided
they have al opportunity 20 do 90
The opportunity comes when they
meet to compare notes, answer
questions and explain methods.
Then, if the knowledge-seeker will
secure papers, bulletins and books,
they have another source of in.

$500 TO EACH WIDOW.
Union Pacific Coal Company's Offer of
Settlement for Explosion Victims.

Salt Lake. Utah. Aug. 9.-The Union
Pacific Coal company has offered to
settle with the relatives of the men
killed in the Hanna mine explosion OIL
the basis of s25C for the unmarried
men and $500 to be paid to each widow,
with $50 additional for each child in
the family. The company contends
that it is absolutely free from any
responsibility as to the manner, in
which these men met their fate. but
offers to compromise.
1t is not probable that the proposi-
ton will be accepted Tor a time, or
until after the investigation by the
coroner's jury concerning the cause of
the disaster. Families of the dead men
generally feel that the offer is not good
enough. but hope to have the matter
adjusted fairly. The coroner's inquest
over the remains of the victims of the
explosion will begin on Monday. 1t
will be several weeks, perhaps, before
it is concluded.

THOMAS HORNS BREAK
The Wyoming Murderer Almost Made
His Escape.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Aug. 9.-At $40
o'clock this morning Tom Horn, the
condemned murderer of little Willie
Nickel, and Jim McCloud, in custody
for a. postofTice robbery. escaped from
the county Jail at this place. after ov-
empowering Deputy Sheriff Richard
Proctor. Fire bells were rung and citi-
Zens rapidly assembled at the Jail and
spoke for a time as though a lynching
would take place. The men got but
two blocks from the Jail when they
were captured.
The men overpowered Proctor and
led him TO his office and compelled him
to open the safe. AS he did Sc Proctor
snatched a revolver from the inside
and fired several times in the strugglc
with the men, 1njuring McCloud. The
men got away and started III opposite
directions when they reached the open
air. Sheriff Smalley arrived in the
meantime and gave chase to McCloud,
who quickly surrendered.
Horn was pursued by o. NJ. Eldrich,
who saw him leave the Jail yard. Ell
drich fired several shots at Horn, and
wounded him slightly in the neck.
Horns revolver failed and, realizing
the hopelessness of his condition, he
surrendered. He showed fight and Ell
drich had to beat him into submission.
The men were returned to the Jail and
the talk of lynching died down.

BROTHERS DROWNED.
One Lost His Life in Trying to Save
the Other in the Waikiki River.

Middletown. n. Y, Aug. 9.-While
bathing in Turtle bay in the Waikiki
river, about five miles from this city,
this afternoon, Samuel Schupper, twen-
ty-eight years old, and his brother
Louis, twenty-four, were drowned.
Louis was seized with cramps and his
brother plunged into the swift current
to save him and lost his own life
The men were connected with the
Cluster Gaslight company, with offices
at 81 Center street, New York.
Samuel Schupper's wife stood on the
bank with a party of friends and saw
her husband drown. None of the party
could swim and so no one was able tc
help the drowning men. The bodies
were recovered and will be taken to
New York. The young men expected
to return to New York tomorrow. their
vacation ending today.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. London. also
of New York, had narrow escape
from drowning. Mrs. London got into
the current and was reached by hel
husband. who hung to an overhangine
branch until rescued.
