He Killed the Horse.

AK exchange gives an account of an Iowa farmer who had an old horse that had been a family pet for a quarter of a century but had finally became so old and sickly that the farmer thought he would kill the poor thing to get it out of it's sufferings. Not having the heart to shoot it he took it out in the middle of the pas ture and tied stick of dynamite to its neck thinking the explosion would instantly kill the animal and be would not have to see it die. After fastening the dynamite to the horse's neck and lighting the fuse he started on a run for the house. He was ter TOT stricken when the horse started op a run after him and kept right up with him. He just reached the wire fence and crawled through when the explosion took place. The farmer was knocked senseless for some time ani when he regained consciousness all that was to be seen was a hole in the ground and a demolished fence. The man was thrown into a violent attack of nervous prostration from which be did not recover for several weeks.

School Election.
a son

The school election today passed off very quietly in spite of the wind and noise which has prevailed for the past few days. The only active election eering that was visible was by the Mc- Donald forces, two or three carriages being in service to haul people to the polls who were willing to vote for him.
 The other side did not offer even the inducement of a ride to the polls to secure votes, preferring to let each one vote as he might deem for the best interests of the public schools without other inducement. Polls were open from 9 o'clock a. m. to 4 o'clock p. m. and considerable interest was taken, the total vote boiled being 4O7, of which Andrews received 252 and Me- Donald l55.

The letter which is dated at Shepherds Hotel, Cairo, Egypt, March 9th follows:
 This is just line to tell you that your letter about the sewing school pleased MT. Richards and me very much, and to let you know that the same amount will be given for the work next year. am writing now because 1 know you make your ar engagements for the coming year early, and-I am more than glad to leave it sll to your judgment. l have been sorry not to see the progress myself, though we have been thoroughly en- tsrtsIned with our trip. The interest every one has shown in the project has been a great pleasure and was also a surprise to me. l sincerely hope the scheme for the boys carpenter de- partment will succeed.

an improved sledge hammer, a mod ern battering ram that enables us to wage the battle of life and observe it's amenities at the same time.
 In the ten years that women have been voting in Colorado, believe they have done at least five times as much as all the rest of the voting women ln the United States put to- gether; and 1 base this modest claim upon the record of our statute books as compared with those of other states. For women stand, relatively. for the same thing everywhere, and their first care is naturally and inevitably for the child. Whatever we have done, other women wish to do. In many states they have tried and failed. The only difference is that they are us- ing the stone age methods, while we have those of the twentieth century.
 No one who knows anything about our statute books will attempt to deny that Colorado women have revo- lutionized the attitude of our state toward the child. Two thirds of their work has been for the children. But at this point let me say one word about what women have done. l have no desire to exalt Colorado women at the expense of Colorado men. The ballot box is not a dividing line, on the contrary, we have infinitely more interests in common than ever be- fore. Indeed, the relation of men and women in Colorado reminds me of the English scrub woman's eulogium on her lord and master: "Ah, my mans that good, he's more like a friend than an 'usband !'' We are in minority by ourselves, and should hardly succeed in anything very bit terly opposed by our brothers.

T. c. Archer, the mining engineer, in company with Charles BsttIe, of the Fl Dorado Mining company, have just returned from a trip to the com pany's property in the War Eagle mining district. MT. Archer says there is any amount of the finest kind of ore much of which runs high in values, but the great difficulty is the distance from transportation fa- cilities, being about sixty miles from the railroad. He says if a railroad ever goes into that country it will open up one of the richest sections in the county. The ore is of both smelling and milling grades, but the scarcity of water makes milling nearly impos- sible and the only thing that can be done is to ship the ore and that can not be done at much profit until the railrad traverses that district.
