There were more than 100000
horses in this country IN 1897, but ac-
cording to the figures for the year
just closed, there are 19,746,000
horses in the United States at the
present time This is a gain of near
ly 40 per cent. in a decade, a much
larger one than the human element
can show, in spite of our large ana
continuous importations. Not only
are there more horses, but evidently
they are better ones, a striking tri-
umph for the science of eugenics
since the value has increased ABOUT
fourfold, and increasing prices Of
feed would not account fer all the diff
ference. The horse cannot be put
down or relagated to obscurity
He survives the withdrawal of the
stimulus of race gambling in Missou-
ri, and comes out in fair proportion
than ever. AS mechanical rivals null
tlply, he rises in the scale of digni-
fed personality. The very fact Of
the high cost of the power machines
increases his value, just as we have

of July here with enthusiasm as big
and generous as any mining camp in
the country ever had occasion 10 give
expression to-. The big day, under
the circumstances, belongs to McGill
and they are preparing down there
to see that it is properly taken care
of. The mines, too, are in splendid
shape for visitors and the crowd that
is here to be entertained during the
celebration should be taken there on
a free special train over the ore line.
There is nothing in the camp that it
will not benefit from showing to Wis
itors and the more shown the better.

asserts, the results from such orga-

that the death of his son-in-law, the

Improvement in general business
here is at a little better
pace than in most parts of the eonn-
try, for the reason that We did not
suffer the setback that most of them
went through While d good many
mining properties here and in White
Pine county closed down temporarily
when the financial stringency be-
came pronounced. the two big COM
panies, the backbone of the district,
kept right ahead with the greater
part of their work, and at the earliest
signs of recovery in the country turn
ed loose full tilt again. Results
from this have been great and will
grow greater as the months pass
through years that will measure
life times. Ely district has nothing
to complain of and much to be graf
flied with. She is moving steadily
ahead, every day little stronger and
doing more than her share in the
making for return of high prosperity
throughout the country, a return that
is assuredly coming about rapidly
else we would be at standstall.

before medical aid could be sum-
moned.
The memory of the duke has
been grossly maligned, and outrage
Gus reports were printed about the
manner and cause of his death. The
facts are these:
'On the afternoon of the day on
which he died the duke and my
daughter were out riding. They
dined together. and then retired to
their apartment early.
They We're kneeling close to-
gether, and the duke held one arm
about his wife's shoulders. Suddenly
he lurehed forward and then tum-
bled unconscious at my daughters
