MONEY IN HORSES.
Advance In Price of Good Animals
Past Decade Is Remarkable.
(Not Syndicate.)


The raising of horses has become
one of the greatest sources of profit
for the farmers. There has not
been a time in the last ten years
when horses were as valuable as
they are at the present time. A few
years ago it was impossible to sell
any horse but the very best, and
then the price ranged from $50 to $75.
Now that price can be obtained for
almost anything that resembles a
horse. Draft horses are in the
greatest demand on account of the
great amount of railroad construc-
ton that is being done all over the
country. 1t is not unusual for a
horse buyer to be requested to pick
up large number of horses suitable
for working on grades and other
construction, the price ranging from
$500 to $500 per team, which is at
least one-fourth more than paid a
year ago. Mules are also in great
demand, being really more valuable
than are horses on account of their
greater endurance on construction
work. So far as possible contrac-
tors use mules, but they cannot find
nearly enough to satisfy their wants.

WILL RECOVERD DAMAGES.
Matt. Edwards Has Good Case Against
Chicago Electric Railway.
Not SYndicate.l

While on recent trip to Chicago
Matt. Edwards Of this city received
painful injuries by being struck and
knocked down by passing street
car.
Mr.. Edwards had just alighted
from one car and was about to cross
the parallel track when another car
going in the opposite direction came
along at full speed and struck him.
People who witnessed the accident
pronounced it a miraculous escape
from death, for had he been one
step farther he would have been
crushed under the car.
Mr.. Edwards was picked up un-
conscious and conveyed to hospi-
tai where medical attendance was
given him and his injuries examined.
No bones were broken, but some
very painful wounds were sus-
tanned about the body.
He is still suffering from effects of
the experience. The railway people
were certainly negligent in perfor-
nance of duty and Mr.. Edwards has
a clean case for damages. Repre-
sentatives Of the corporation have al
ready made proffers of settlement,
although no terms have been agreed
upon as yet.

PAINFULLY BURNED.
Mrs. G. C. Dickinson Of TennysOn Has
Narrow Escape from Death.
Not Syndicate. J


Mrs. G.. G.. Dickinson, wife of ex-
Sheriff Dickinson, was badly burned
Thursday evening by the explosion
of lamp.
The accident occurred in the
cellar of the Tennyson store which
the family operates, and it is a
miracle that the victim was not
fatally injured.
Mrs. Dickinson was engaged in
Gambling eggs and was using the lamp
for this purpose. 1t did not burn
brightly and she reflled it. Some
oil remaining on the bowl of the
lamp ignited when she lighted it
and fearing an explosion she hastily
gathered it up and ran to the door
to throw it from the building. Be-
fore reaching the open air the lamp
exploded and the blazing Oil was
scattered over the lady's face and
clothing.
Her screams for help brought
Clarence Calvert, a clerk in the
store, and members of the family.
Before being extinguished the fire
had burned her face and hands quite
seriously and portions of her cloth
ing we're burned entirely off. Mr..
Calvert sustained some painful
scorches also.
Drs. McGovern of Potosi and
Doolittle of Lancaster were called
and atteLded to the sufferers, and
as the paper goes to press they are
are past all danger and with excep-
ton of the pain consequent to such
an experience, are none the worse
for the catastrophe.
No other damages resulted.

SHIRT WAISTS BARRED.
Northwestern Employees Must Wear
Vests as Well as Coats on Duty.
(Not Syndicate


The officials of the Northwestern
system have placed a ban upon shirt
waists and have issued a circular
letter to the effect that all employees,
including conductors and brakemen
of passenger trains, must wear a
vest. The order takes effect at once.
The company does not care now
cool the men dress but they must
wear vests. If the regulation blue
uniform vest is considered too warm
for summer wear the men will be
allowed to wear the white uniform
vest. Shirt waists may be worn
but the vest must cover them while
the men are in charge of or working
upon the passenger trains OF the
company.
The men that will be affected the
most by the new order are the pas
senger conductors and brakemen.
These men have gradually adopted
the shirt waist since it's Introduction
among men and it has been very
comfortable. The company, how
ever, does not like the looks
of the garment and it therefore
must be abandoned. In addition
they insist that soft collars are not
dressy and the stiff collars must be
worn in the future while the men
are on duty.

Death came Wednesday at 10 a.
m. to relief the sufferings of Will j.
Wenzel, who has been i'll for a
period of three years.
Deceased was born in town of
Liberty, Feb. 9, 1878. His entire
life was passed at home, where he
was actively engaged in farming
until recent years when ill health
compelled him to relinquish the
heavy tasks.
The inroads of tuberculosis were
made apparent three years ago, and
during this time his life was one of
suffering, gradually becoming more
painful until the light of life was
extinguished. For some months
previous to his demise he had been
receiving medical treatment in Ian
caster, with apartments at the
! Philips house, and so rapidly did
he sink when the closing days came
that removal to his home was out
of the question and death occurred
there.
All that mortal hands could do to
relieve his sufferings was done and
in his final days relatives and friends
We'd with each other in administer
ing to his desires.
Funeral services we're held at the
German Lutheran church in Liberty
