tieth century to need explanation att
our hands; that mind may wonderfully
affect minds all now know and admit.
May not the matter of Inspiration be
just the same nature? May not the
divine mind have poured itself upon
the human mind till 1t was literally
true that holy men Of old spoke as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost?
So, If to any Of the miraculousness Of
the bible. has seemed an obstacle to
faith. may it not be explained with
all reason and reverence upon tho

IOWA FARMs-TExAs LANDS.
AND
HORSE SALES.
ALI SORTS OF EXCHANGES.
ABOUT NEXT WEEKS SALE.

Now listen--I want to give you few
IDEAS have about our next horse sale,
December %. It's the last sale In the
year, and it's during holiday week and
for these reasons was at first inclined
to believe it would be rather light
sale. But l think differently about 1t
now. believe 1T will be one of the
best attended sales we have had this
fall.
Coming as it does at the close of hol-
iday week, when there has been moth
ing doing in any of the larger markets,
everybody is laying off" to eat turkey,
all the big sale barns empty, look for
an unusual number of buyers here and
buyers for variety Of classes, all
wanting horses to put in the market
the first week In January. And right
here ! want to say that have often
seen, and so have you, the opening of
the new years market the strongest
in the month. And ! look for a right
good supply Of horses. January 1st is
general settling up day and this sale on
the 2Sth will offer you the opportunity
to turn your stock into spot cash, and
besides that, by selling before January
1st you avoid having your horses listed
for taxation.
j am advertising this sale in the Chi
cago Drovers' Journal which has a
States, and I have sent circulars and
written personal letters to nearly one
hundred shippers in ST. Louis, Chicago
Kansas City, Indianapolis, ST. Paul
Milwaukee, Buffalo, Hudson, N. Y, Co.
lumbus Grove, Orville and Prospect
Ohio; several points in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. l know it will be on:
Of the very best advertised sales of the
year and my guess is that it will be
big success
| Another matter-I want to give a
| word Of advice (and it don't cost you q
cent? to those who will want to buy
something in work stock or drivers or
colts for their own use-and my advice
is this: You just buy them at this next
sale. There will be some of these
Glasses here, and their owners viii
want to turn them into cash. They viii
not be in condition for the market. But
\ If you think my advice is worth any
thing you Just come with q little casf
in your pants pocket, presuming thai
you are a man), and buy NOW, what
! you will need later.

within year a carnival of suffer.
ing and crime will be rampant in the
new settlements of the southwest,
said DR.. W. E. Creath to represen-
tative of the Courier this morning
DR.. Creath has just returned from an
extended trip through Texas and the
Indian territory and was struck most
forcibly by the condition which exists
among the thousands Of new settlers
who have moved into these states.
In speaking of his trip DR.. Creath
said:
II left Ottumwa over the Rock Is
land for Kinder, La, to look after my
rice plantation there. 1t was an in
direct route, but one that covered the
territory over which / had never trav
eled-the new lands of the Indian
Territory and Texas, particularly the
Panhandle country The trains were
all crowded to their doors. The depot
at Kansas City was SO badly <congest
ed that it was almost impossible tc
move about Many wives and children
were travelling to join husbands in the

l learned that many were going with
the idea that they were bound for .
land of plenty, when the conditions
were exactly the opposite There
were two distinct classes; the poor
and believe, the ignorant class, were
going to the Indian Territory, while
the better class were bound for Texas
My prediction is that in less thar
twelve months there will be grea,
deal of suffering and crime in these
parts of the southwest. A great pei
cent of these land seekers have pait
most Of their money to claim theil
lands or buy their homes, and have
but little left for supplies.
