HORSE VALUES HIGHER.
Popularity Of Autos Gives Breeding
a Setback and Prices Are
Doubled.

Chicago.-Did you know that the
price of horses had risen and that YOU
probably wouldn't have a chance of
getting one even if you had the price?
Horses are dearer and scarcer than
at any time in the history OF the mar
ket, and, what is stranger still, the
condition appears to have been caused
indirectly by the automobile.
Horses-good road administering a
large sum to their possessors in these
days OF machines. A irst-class ami
NAL cannot be purchased for much
less than $500 to s4OO. 1t was only
four or five years ago that less than
hali that sum would buy the best
horse in the market for ordinary fam
ily use. Racers brought more. of
course. Draft horses now sell for s225
10 $3.50, which is twice their cost a
few years ago. And there is such a
demand for them apparently at any
price that a batch OF animals brought
into the local market is quickly dis
posed of.
lhere are few good animals to be
had anyway, because the big breeders
ceased operations few years ago be-
cause Of the advent Of the automobile.
When the supply died out the demand
began again and prices rose. There
Is big demand also for American
horses abroad, and that has drained
the market.
). 5. Cooper, commission salesman
al the Union stockyards, says: Horses
were never so high priced in this
country. They are scarce, too. You
have to hustle around a lot to find
good animal, and when you do you
WI discover the price is pretty steep.

Strawberries ANp INSANE
Eastern Expert Makes Some Inter
esting Observations on the
Subject.

Denver.-DO more persons 90 in
sane during the strawberry season
than at any other period Of the year ?
If so, why?
According 10 Dr. Z. p. Bl0mer, a
Buffalo physician and alienist Of rep
utation in the east, the statistics re-
garding the insane OF the country in
general show that each year there IS
marked increase in the number Of
persons who become insane by the
time the strawberry season is well un-
der way. When the fruit disappears
from the daily table. he asserts. rec
ords OF different asylums show the
number Of cases decreases.
DR.. Bl0mer advanced his views on
the subject 10 c. e. Hagar, secretary
OF the state board OF charities and
corrections, during a visit 10 the state
house. He Is on his way to the Pa
oific coast to get definite statistics from
insane hospitals In California and 9th
er western states, and will visit the
Colorado asylum on his return jour
ney.
Dr. Blomer said he was unable TO
explain why insanity cases should be
more numerous during the time when
shortcake and berries and cream are in
general use. but added that he was
firmly convinced there WIS some Pc
culiar influence exerted on persons OF
2 certain nervous temperament by
strawberries. Their effect on some
persons physically, he said, was shown
to all physicians Many are unable
to eat one dish OF Strawberries with
out suffering from a rash which covers
the entire body. DR.. Blomer believes
that in the case OF some persons the
mind is affected instead Of the body.
Secretary Haber had never heard the
theory befpre, but declared that the
next time he visited the state hospital
he would go over the records care
fully in search of corroboration Of the
views of DIR. Blomer.

FIRE BREAKS OUT EARLY IN THE
 MORNING
Four Houses Are Razed to tae Ground in Don Luis-lack of, Water Responsible For Most of the Loss.

A disastrous fire which for a time threatened to destroy the town of Don Luis broke out at four o'clock yester- day morning in the home of William Ivey on washington street, in the Hedberg Addition. and before it was brought under control destroyed three buildings and store The loss Is estimated to be not less than $35O0, which is mostly covered by insurance.
 Ivey is employed as blacksmith at the L. S. & P. shaft and had come home from work and had gone to bed. About four o'clock his wife was avak- eued by the smell of smoke. and i1rne- diately aroused her husband. Ney found one side of the house in flames and immediately caught up his chi.'i- 7en and ran out of the house. He called to his brother-in-iaw, JacE Richards, who was living with them, and Richards had just escaped from the house when the roof fell in. He had not had time to put on his shoes and in getting out of the hou-e step ped on a red hot ember, burning his foot painfully. By this time the en- tire town was aroused, and attempts were made to get water on the burn ing building, but the only water main in town did not carry enough water to wet the ground around the house let alone put out the fire.
 In spite of all attempts to get the fire under control it spread to tne house of Lafe Plum, about twenty feet distant.
 The Plums had removed their fuTni- ture from the house, anticipating the spread of the flames, and only lost the building. which was covered by in surance. The fire was severe shock to Plum and his wife. as they both have but recently returned home from the hospital.
 Shortly after the Plum house had caught fire. the flames spread to the home of Mrs. Fuller, widow, with six children. The Fullers had been awakened, and had also removed their furniture from the house before the flames had reached that far. but it is understood that the house was only covered by a small amount of insur- auce
 From the Fuller house the wind car rsed the flames to the store used by J. J. Mitchell as a butcher shop. and ludl wdS diSO phihcU No tbN ground in a very short time. A large crowd has gathered and saved all Of the furniture of the shop. excepting a large refrigerator which it was found impossible to get through the doors.
 This is the most disastrous fire that has ever visited the small suburb. and 1t seems to be most fortunate that the wind was blowing from the north. Coming from this direction it forced the flames towards the most sparsely settled portions of the town. thus saving the whole settlement from being wiped out.
 All of the buildings were burned to the ground. IL is understood that the people of Don Luis have already taken action towards the securing of more adequate water supply with which to fight fire
