DR.. Uehran of Atlantic has in
stalled an apparatus in his veterin-
airy hospital for dressing horses
teeth, that is a marvel. The machine
does away with the old system OF
filing the teeth. with common
hand file and instead works by
means of power furnished by a
small motor. while the teeth are
ground quietly aud painlessly. 1t is
a Godsend to horse owners for by
it's use it is now an easy matter to
keep horses teeth in good shape
all the time.

The Journal erred last week. 1t
stated that Anthony Meurer had re-
ceived an increase in his pension of
SIS 90 per month which, added to the
amount he was already receiving
would make him monthly stipend
of $14O0. We want to contradict
this-also contract it. Mr.. Maurer's
former pension was six dollars. He
received an increase of two dollars.
Six and two are eight. These are
facts and all the facts of the mat
ter. Mr. Meurer gets eight dollars
and the Office D. gets another jab
in his solar plexus for the blunder.
However the editor is the man at
fault,

PRESIDENT IN DANGER.
His Vessel Comes in Collision With
a Fruit Steamer.

Flagship West Virginia, via New
Orleans, by wireless.-At IL o'clock
Thursday evening. through confusion
of signals, the fruit steamer Esparata
collided with the lighthouse tender
Magnolia which was conveying the
President, Secretary Loeb and Dr.
Rixey to the cruiser West Virginia. The
rail and port bow of the Magnolia was
damaged and two or three holes made
in the vessel below the water line No
one was hurt.
The Magnolia Immediately on being
struck was beached, her bow being
high and dry. After careful examin-
alton of the damage to the vessel it
was evident there was no danger and
the President and his party went to
bed. Major Craighill. United States
engineers, whose ship, the Ivy. sister
ship of the Magnolia, had preceded the
Magnolia and was some distance
ahead, sent an order to head the Ivy
off at Pilot station and have her re-
turn for the President and his party.
The transfer was made at o'clock
thsi morning. The vessel got under
way Immediately and the West Vir-
ginia was boarded on schedule time.

How Freight Rebate is Paid.

st. Paul-At the Roosevelt birth
day celebration President A. B. Stick
ney of the Great Western railway
told about rebates. He said:
"The ingenuity which is now exer-
cised by both railways and their GUS
toners to maintain the secrecy of re-
bates can be illustrated better than de-
scribed. Since the injunctions were
issued-and the terrors of the law are
considered imminent have been
told do not vouch for its truth, al
though | have seen what purports to
be a copy of the contract between
shippers and the routing agency-of
cases where young men from so-called
routing agencies in New York make
periodical trips through the Western
cities, leaving not bank checks. but
packages of actual money, without
note or comment, upon certain mer-
chants desks. taking no voucher nor
receipt. Curiously when these pack
ages are counted they are found to be
exactly certain percentage, supposed
to be TWENTY-FIVE per cent. of the
amount of freight which such mer-
chants have paid certain railway
company since the last previous visit
of the young man who thus distributes
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually.

Tho weaIth-Producing Hen.

Among the speakers who will at
tend all OF the institutes is Mrs. Ida e.
Tilson of Wisconsin, who enjoyes the
distinction of being the best posted
woman on poultry subjects in the
world, says the Denver Republican.
Mrs. Tilson has made poultry her life
study, and to use her own language.
she is full of chicken" Mrs. Tilson
arrived in Denver yesterday, and was
seen at the Albany. She is most en-
thusiastic over the poultry possibill-
ties of Colorado.
1.-The only trouble is that the people
here do not Know anything of the pos
sibilities of the hen," she said. "Biddy
is the most neglected of all stock, and
yet in proportion to her size and time
and money spent on her, she yields a
bigger per cent of profit than any other
creature on the farm. Do you know
that in the whole United States only
the corn and hay crops exceed the hen
in the total output? The American hen,
in just one of her busy months, lays
enough eggs to pay the yearly interest
of our national debt"
But, 1t is generally understood, Mrs.
Tilson. that poultry raising on large
scale does not pay"
well, that is partially true, Those
who attempt to go into the business on
a large scale will generally fail. But
they can commence in a small way
and gradually increase, and they will
generally succeed. 1t is necessary, to
be successful, to know the chickens
personally, as it were. / mean Just
what / say. Chickens have individu-
ality, and unless the grower is famil-
lar with their peculiarities he cannot
hope to be successful with them. | al
ways expect my hens to pay me dol
lar year each. l have known OF their
just doubling that. But you must be
acquainted with them to get the best
results, and you cannot know them If
you start in with big lot.
Give a hen chance and she will
surprise you. | knew of a young
woman whose hens took her to Europe
on pleasure trip. / knew of stock
man who got in hole raising cattle.
His wife's hen bought the groceries,
clothes for herself, an overcoat for the
man and finally assisted him out of
the hole. and helped him on his feet
again. Your mines do not produce as
much money as Biddy grubs out of the
earth. The scratch of her foot is as
good in the marts of the world as the
signature of all its bankers. She is the
symbol of unassuming productive toll;
the emblem of peace with honor. And
yet. she is the most neglected of all
stock"

Foreign Commerce Statistics.

Washington.-A bulletin issued by
the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor esti-
mates that the foreign commerce of
the United States for the calendar
year. will amount to more than bill
lion dollars.
For the nine months ended in Sep
tember the imports of materials for
use in manufacturing amounted to
$422 900, 900 and the exports OF manu-
facturers to $424,000.000.
Manufacturers. materials imported
in nine months of 1905 were practic-
ally twice as great in value as in the
corresponding period of 1890; while
manufactures exported during this
same time were practically four times
as great as in the corresponding period
of $780,.

CONVENTION SPLITS.
Faction Opposes President RooseveIt's
Railroad Policy.

Chicago.-Refusing to stand for
President Roosevelt's policy for the
regulation Of railroad rates, a large
number of delegates to the Interstate
Commerce Law Convention were
barred from the convention of that or
ganization Thursday, and thereupon
held separate meeting to give ex-
preston to their ideas on the subject
Aware of alleged attempts to thwart
the purpose of the convention, the
delegates at Steinway hall refused to
admit delegates. although properly ac-
credited, unless they would agree to
support the Presidents rate plan.
These delegates objected to the pro-
cedure, demanding they be given the
right of free speech, while the oppo-
sition charged they were sent by the
railroads and other alleged interests
to pack the convention.
A number of exciting scenes fol-
lowed before the meetings were called
to order in the conventions of both
sides. The number of delegates at
each convention was about equal,
ranging between 400 and 500.
Speeches, organization and resolu-
tions including one which was pre-
sented in the Studebaker hall conven-
ton asking the President to settle the
dispute as to which was the regular
convention, but upon which no action
was taken, occupied the time of the
first meetings.
The conventions will continue in
session tomorrow. when resolutions
will be, adopted by the Steinway hall
convention in favor of the Presidents
recommendation.

Railroad Wreck Kills Thirteen.

Kansas City.-Thirteen persons
were killed and thirty injured in the
wreck Monday of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe passenger train No. /,
known as the California express,
which, while running at the rate OF
thirty-five miles an hour, struck a,
loose rail, one mile east of Blue river
which is the eastern limits of this
city.
The wreck occurred at what rail-
road men call me Rock creek cut, on a
curve where jagged rock walls on each
side of the track form bluff almost
100 feet high.
The engine was going so rapidly
that it passed the loose rail in safety.
The mail car, Immediately behind.
jumped the track and struck the side
of the bluff to the right and the four
cars following ploughed through it and
shot against the high stone wall at the
left
The sides OF the coaches were torn
off by scraping against the rough
stone surface and passengers and
trainmen ground against the wall were
either killed outright or badly hurt.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Oct 80.
Cattle receipts on the Denver mar
ket were the heaviest last week OF any
week during the fall months in the his
tory OF the yards. Over $1,000 head
ARRIVED and all were offered and sold
here. The market was fairly active
but prices are 10 to 15c lower than a
week ago. This was not due to any lack
of demand, but to the fact that the
railroads were unable to furnish sufi-
cient cars to load out the cattle as
they were purchased and they had to
be held in the yards for several days
at considerable expense to the pur-
chaser. For this reason statesmen had
to make concessions to move the cat
tie. but all were of the opinion that
had 1t not been for this fact prices
would have been fully steady as there
was good demand for everything.
Beef steers were in fair supply and
sold under very good demand. Best
brought s375 with the bulk down to
$500. Cows sold very well and some
fancy stuff on sale. Best fancy cows
brought $3.35. the best price for sew
eral months, with another bunch at
$3.15. These were very fancy how
ever, and most of the cows sold at
$3.50 to $3.50 with number of sales
at the latter figure. Bulls were strong
with 1925 representing the top, and
veals sold well at $500 to $3.50. Feeder
and stocker trade suffered the most
because of the car shortage, but every
thing was sold as there was a good
demand and plenty of buyers here.
Best steers sold at $375. freight paid,
and the good to choice At s3.35 to
1910 with the medium and light
steers around s2.75 to $3.50. Rail
roads promise plenty of cars for this
week and indications point to good
trade.
Hog receipts were liberal but the de-
mand very good and the market
active. Prices dropped about a quar-
ter during the week with tops now
selling around $500.
Receipts of sheep were the heaviest
in the history of the market, a total
of close to $4,000 head being received.
Most of these were contracted but
number went on sale and all were dis
posed of at good strong prices. The
demand is very good here for all kinds.
