Edgar Win had the misfortune to
loose one of his matched gray horses
last Friday night. No particular
cause was known, as he vas found
dead in the barn Saturday morning.
Hard luck for Edgar, as ne is a hard
working Industrious young man.
Tuesday night about IL o'clock fire
was discovered on Mr.. John Brewers
place, which proved to be hay stacks
near the barn, and was supposed to
have been started by some party or
parties. hounds were sent for from
New Sharon and ran the trail some
distance. Don't know Just what the
outcome will be. The wind being
just right, the barn was saved.

THE HORSE HOSPITAL.
Dr.. Parker Adds a Valuable Piece of
Equipment to His Institution.

DR.. F. F. Parker, veterinary sur
geon, has recently added a bit Of ap-
paratus to his veterinary hospital"on
South Second street, that makes the
place the equal of any hospital of like
character in the state. He has just
installed a new operating table, a.
piece of furniture that enables the
doctor to operate upon an animal
quickly and successfully, without the
possibility of danger or accident.
Where an operation of any severity
is necessary, chloroform is admins
tered and the operation upon the
brute Is as humane as any operation
upon a human being could be made,
and no danger in administering.
The table is a huge piece of appara-
tus. When it is desired to place an
animal upon the table it is raised by
machinery to a vertical position and
the straps securing the aNSpaS tneTs-
to are adjusted while the horse Is in a
standing position. The table is then
turned back into position for operat-
ing, pulling the horse down with it,
No use for the horse to struggle, for
he is absolutely fast. The dangers OF
casting an animal are entirely avoided
and other attendant ills are complete
ly done away with. The top of the
table is padded and no INJURY Of any
kind is possible at any time. The
tables are in s in the Chicago nos
pitfalls.
1t is the newest thing made for the
assistance of the veterinary surgeon,
and there are but few of them in Iowa.
DIR. Parker now has the mast complete
hospital in this part of the country.
His office and medicine room are In
the second story or the building
are entirely separate from the other
parts, making the place convenient
and adapted to all purposes.
Mr.. Parker has a number of opera.
lions pending that have been waiting
upon the installation of the new table.
He purposes having an operating day
in the near future and will have a
sort of Clinic" as it were, for exbib-
iting the advantages of the apparatus
in an operation.

dollars per day for miners. There
are now about 1000 surplus men in
the district. The entire district is un-
der control of the Citizens Alliance
and the Mine Owners Association. To
get work one must have a card from
the Mine Owners Association certify
ing that you do not belong to the
Western Federation of Miners, or
Union, and recommending you for
work.
The strike has not been called off
yet, although the eight-hour day for
mill men has been granted throughout
the district, and as this is what the
strike was ordered for, it is useless to
keep their men from work. The
weather has been fine here this fall.
At the present the snow covers the
ground. -Thos. Maloney.

A TRIP TO CRIPPLE CREEK.
Former OskaIoosa Gentleman Writes
Interesting Letter.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 8.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 3.
Editor Herald On Wednesday
morning, Nov. 80, at 8 O'Clock, we
yer for Cripple Creek, Colo. The road
follows the foot hills at about fourteen
miles distant all the way to Colorado
Springs. Fifty miles west of the
Springs, reached a region of towering
mountain peaks and built at an alti-
tude of from 10000 to 10000 feet
above the sea, are the mining towns
of the Grippe Greek district. The
district is one of the greatest gold
mining centers in the world, having
produced over twenty-five millions in
gold in 1901, and a total Of owe one
hundred and twenty millions to date.
Almost from the start the journey
from Colorado Springs via the short
line is along a gorge up the side Of
the mountain. A beautiful view of
the Garden Of the Gods is to be had
rs the train passes Colorado City.
Later the route is through Bear Greer
Canon and North Cheyenne Canon.
At the head of the latter, Pixies Peak
comes into view to the right, and
Cheyenne Mountain to the left, while
st. Peters Dome, a rugged promon-
tory that towers above the track, is
seen straight ahead. Proceeding up
the canon, the train crawls half way
up the rocky wall, where the track
a be sen winding in and out still
higher us. Crags, gorges and beauti-
full waterfalls mark every turn, until
beyond Cameron Junction at Hoosier
Pass, 1000 feet above the sea-, Grip
pie Creek is seer 1000 feet below.
Arriving at Cripple Creek we proceed
ed to go owe the district. The dis
lance to Goldfield from Cripple Creek
is about miles. A complete
circuit is made of the various towns
OF Anaconda, Elkton and Victor, CIV
ing n the advantage Of a view from
the train Of all the notable mines in
the district. There are two subur-
ban lines, namely the High Line and
the Low Line, electric, that reach
these towns every day from seven a.
m. until $3.50 p. M, the following day.
Also there Is a narrow gauge steam
railroad that reaches to these same
towns and run trains every thirty
minutes during the day. affording the
miners and others excellent transport
alton between these same points. The
route Of the steam railroad is near the
base Of the mountains; the Low Line
electric is higher upon the side, and
the High Line electric up near the
summit.
At present everything il quiet In the
camp and about as many men at work
as before the strike. The monthly
pay roll rs a half million. Day work
at the mines Is three dollars per day
for laborers, and from three to four,

MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY.
If Anybody Waits Hin ThsY My
Have Him.

Fremont Gazette: Tuesday County
Attorney Dan Hamilton and Supervis.
ors ]. H. Tanner and Robt. Adams, of
Keokuk county, met in Fremont with
County Attorney Jas. A. Dewitt, Audi
tor w. T. Martin and Supervisor Jas.
Stephenson, of this county, for the
purpose Of determining the residence
of one E. Kline, who was sent from
this county to the insane asylum some
thing over a year and a half ago. 1t
will be remembered by our readers
that the man went insane at the home
Of VIM. Brown, northeast of town, and
was arrested and taken to Oskaloosa,
where he was a~djudged insane by the
insane commissioners, who certified
Mahaska county as his residence. The
board of supervisors object to paying
the state the cost Of keeping him on
the grounds of his being a non-resi-
dent and are determined to find out
his residence if possible. One thing
is certain, and it is that he has not
been a resident of this county for
thirty years and always claimed Keo-
kuk county as his home. The cost Of
keeping and other expense now
amounts to about $500, and from the
fact that the commissioners certified
this county as his home the burden of
proof lies with this county. The
meeting between the officers of the
two counties at this place Tuesday
was without result and another meet
ing was arranged for after a more ex-
tended investigation has been maze.
