Prince khiIkoff, Russian Statesman

Prince Khilkoff. whom the czar has

in youth was regarded by his famil,
as a crank. and a dangerous one to
boot. He had to undertake the man
agement Of the family estates at about
the time that the serfs were being
emancipated and his magnanimity to
ward his underlrgs did not please
the rest of his family, so young Khil
koff went on pilgrimage.
He thought it would be good to fol
low the example of Peter the Great
and go to England to learn. He went
to Birkenhead and worked there as an
ordinary artisan. News of great rail
way developments in America called
him here and he came to the United
States and worked right through the
fitting and engine-building shops and
learned to drive an engine.
He returned home to perform simi
lar office just at the time that the
railways of Russia were beginning tC
boom. Employed first as an engineer
he was promoted to the control OF
locomotive works. was made head of a
line. and. pushing his way step by
step, proved himself the ideal man for
the post of minister of ways of com

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.--Ths
market was well supplied last week.
Trade was far from satisfactory, how
ever, and all classes of cattle are lower
than they were a week ago. Choice
grades are about 30 cents lower. while
common stuff are fully a quarter down
and in some cases even more. Eastern
markets were all lower and reported
very light demand, which was the
cause of the dullness here. Beef steers
were in good supply all week. Packers
bought literally during the first few
days, but later the demand was not SO
good, as they were pretty well sup
piled. Best corn fed steers sold at
$500, one 1,700-pound North Park
grass steer sold at $500, but he was
fancy and will be held for the show
next month. Other steers sold up to
$i.15, with bulk at $o.l0 TO $500. Cows
sold very well If good, but common
stuff was dull. Corn feds went at $3.15
to $4.25, with bulk of the pretty good
grass cows at $235 to $500, and one
fancy COW at $3.50 and several punches
at $40 to 1925. Bulls sold about
steady all week with tops at $500.
Veals were little changed and the sup
ply light. BEST brought $4.25.
Feeder and stocker trade was quiet
Supply was liberal, but country de-
mand somewhat limited and dealers
were slow to take hold as eastern mar
kets were dull and everything for,
warded lost them money.
Best feeders sold at $3.50, and bulk
went at $3.25 to $3.50. A light trade is
expected this week on account of it be-
ing Christmas week.
Hog demand continues good and
more could have been used last week
Receipts were fair, but not as heavy as
the week before. Prices dropped
about a dime during the week, tops
now selling around $4.S5.
The sheep market was active every
day and prices little stronger at the
close than at the opening of the week
About $4,000 arrived and most of them
sold here. The demand is very good.

Mission of the Wise Men.

When the wise men came from tho
East to found Christmas day, they
were mastered, not by religious con-
servatism, but by Christian expecta
ton. They were dominated, not by
reason, but by intuition-by the
genius represented in Job and in Da
vid rather than by the calculation OF
Jacob or the saws of Solomon. This
world is saved not by profit-takins
merely, but by prophet-giving. A few
wise men from the East, acting on in
sight created that glad epoch of de-
light in selg-sacrifce which we call
Christmas Politics and worldly wis
dom fought Christmas to the quick
but Christmas was conducted from
the upper air resounding with rhyth-
mic cancellations not only of peace,
but of peace based on good will.

by which Nazimoff can escape-but

with an expression of the bitterest
hate. That man is our enemy she
said. land even now he is plotting
against us. Cobb gone where?
What does it mean? Heavens!" she
exclaimed, as the thought occurred to
her. Can he have sent Cobb to Stra-
lensk with the pardon of Ida Baro-
sky?"
Father and son looked at each other
then at Katherine.

"but must think of my instrument"
Even as she spoke the door OF the
room leading to the chamber occupied
by the baroness opened. 49,
Katherine, Karsicheff and Nicholas
turned quickly.
A woman appeared, hesitated mo-
ment. and was about to retire again.
when Katherine in her softest voice
said: Pray come in
The stranger hesitated a moment,
and then entered.
You have quite recovered?" asked
Katherine with apparent solicitude.
There was no answer.
Perhaps the question had not been
understood.
Katherine repeated it.
In low voice and with a pro-
rounced English accent, the stranger
she was apparently young-said
that she did not speak Russian fluent
ly and at times had some difficulty
in understanding the language.
You are with the wife of Gen.
Cobb?" asked katherine.
The stranger must have misunder-
stood the question, for she evidently
thought that her passport had been
asked for, as she handed that i'm.
portant document to Katherine.
The latter glanced at the document,
Karsicheff ard Nicholas gazing over
her shoulder as she did so.

Katherine explained that the prison
was on the other side and that the

mandant of the etape.
DO the prisoners remain here?" in

"Oh, no; they only arrived tonight; !;
they came from Chitka. and are on
their way to the mines"

Some of them are. but others of
them are thieves and robbers and mur.

But there are soldiers to protect

NEW GAS CONCERN
Proposed Plant to Furnish Light
ing and Heating Fuild in
Amarillo.

w. +. Leeds, representing the
gas concern which obtaineda fran
chloe a year or so ago, and forfeit
ed it through a misunderstanding,
is in the city, and is going after
the proposition in real earnest. II
is the desire of the company TO OBJ
tain 200 subscribers before asking
for another franchise, and when
they are cotton it is the purpose to
install the plant at once. The
company uses the naptha system,
and has plants in operation in Gle
burne, Texarkana, San Angelo,
Tyler and other Texas points, fur
nishing fuel gas at Fl so per thous-
and feet and illuminating at So,
and as 2ooo feet of the gas is equal
TO 5000 feet of coal gas, the saving
in the operation of heating and
lighting plants can be easily esti-
mated, not taking into account the
increased cleanliness and Conven-
fence. The company proposes to
put in FIVE miles of pipe to start and
maintain a thoroughly upto-date
plant in every particular. From
the rate at which the Mr.. Leeds
and his assistants are getting sub
scribers il is a sure thing that the
desired number will be secured i'll a
short time, and that the plant will
be built in due time. The propo-
sitions of the company and the
subscribers up to this morning fol
low:
Below we give a comparison
showing the cheapness of gas and
its efficiency as compared with coal,
as attested by thousands who use
gas in cities where il is to be had:
No smoke, 10 SCOT, no ashes, nc
