believe I am not mistaken in attrib-

methods of wandering traders in coli
Iecting debts in Hereroland. This Is
proved by the statements of natives
Immediately before the outbreak and
whites intimately acquainted with the
circumstances. These traders proceed
ed with reckless injustice against their
customers, either taking their cattle In
payment of debts, at too low valua-
ton, or else seizing animals which did
not belong to the debtors. 1t is re-
ported that traders palmed themselves
off among the Hereros as government
officials and threatened the natives
with punishment If their debts Were
not paid. The timid natives submitted
without lodging complaints with the
government. The hatred against the
traders thus gathered force and was
transferred to all Germans"

BOSTON, March 24.-In an address
before a gathering of churchgoers here
DR.. lG. S. Hall of Clark University,
worcester, has made the assertion that
it is probable man gets nearer his lost
paradise when he is dancing than at
any other time.
"a philosophy of the universe might
be written on Rhythm" he said. THUS
there is a rhythm of years Of season
All muscular effort is in rhythm. the
action and the reaction but the climax
of all rhythm is dancing-not dancing
as it is now, but dancing as it was done
years ago. If a person is tired he
should dance a minuet; if apathetfc,
something faster.
Dancing is a great curative power.
The best thing, the great thing, is
health. which means holiness The
best kind of happiness is the happiness
of being alive and that is the spirit of
the dance. Men at 80. so, 20 and so
ought to practice it.

past twelve Month in its New
Years statistical supplement:
"There is 36.45S head OF assess
able cattle. The acerage Of feed
was greatly increased over precel
ing years. The ranchmen are ex
pected to winter their stock with
out loss, both because of the mild
winter and the stock of feed they
have on hand. Both domestic aud
range cattle are in the best condit-
ion at this time that they have
been in for years. There were
1880 sheep assessed. making the
sheep raising industry second in
Importance in the county. The
actual number of sheep in the
county is conserya,ively estimated
at 10000. Thirty five hundred
horses add to the county's assets.
Dipping plants have been erected
in large numbers. Hundreds of
dollars haye been thus invested
and many of the ranchmen now
own their own plants. Long
drives to association dipping watts
are thus avoided. All the cattle
in the county have been dipped.

Quaint, Queer and Curious Salt

The late Col. John Cockercll in
The Cosmopolitan said. "There are
three unique cities in America,
and one of these is Salt Lake City."
1t is not only unique in its temple,
tabernacle ahd other Mormon
church institutions, but quaint in
appearance, with its wide streets.
immense blocks and martial rows
OF shade trees. 1t has, perhaps,
more attractions tn the square yard
than any city in the country, and
its climate. while temperate all
the year round, is particularly de-
lightfuI In summer. The Great
Salt Lake, with its magnificent
Saltair resort, where the water is
"deader and denser" than that in
the Dead Sea in Palestine, is an
att action in itself that people
come miles to see. There are
many cool mountain and lake re-
sorts near by, alsa numerous very
pretl: canon and park drives, ard
hot sulphur springs. Fishing and
hunting can be had in every d.
rection. The trip from Denver to
Salt Lake City and Ogden, via the
Denver and Rio Grande and the
Rio Grande Western. is one ol un
surpassed pleasure. Here nature
is found in her sternest mood and
the whole line is u succession OF
rugged canons, waterfalls and pic
turesque valleys. No European
trip can compare with it in grand
eur of scenery. During the entire
summer there will be low excur
sion rates to Salt Lake City and
contiguous country. 1t is on the
road to the Pacific coast, it that ia
