WESTERN BEEF FINDS
GOOD EASTERN MARKET

Western beef is coming into its own
Not over decade ago eastern buyers
purchased range-bred steers only when
they were unable to fill their feed
pens from other sources, and usually
offered a much lower price for this
class of stock than they were willing
to pay for that secured from other
places.
Experience has taught these buy
ers, however, that western range-bred
steers are usually in the very best OF
health. They have a splendid frame
upon which to build, are we'll mus.
cled and boned, and being accus
toned to the rigors of the western
climate, continue to put on flesh in
the eastern feed pens when cattle
from other sections, being fed under
identical conditions, are losing flesh
on account of the inclement weather
conditions. This western steer only
demands that he be given plenty of
good fresh water and sufficient feed
so that he may never be hungry and
he will always give a good account
of himself and return many dollars in
profits to the feeder when he is sold
for the block in the spring. @
These steers shed early under fav-
orable conditions, and when they have
reached the stockyards they show an
exterior finish that other cattle, lack,
ing the same health and ruggedness,
fail to show. This makes the western
steers ready sellers on the market.

SNAPSHOTS,

AS usual thing, the woman who
speaks plainly looks that way.
The lazy mans idea of brains is
that they are defense against work.
AS general thing, the public never
recognizes a genius until he begins
to make money.
About the hardest work woman
mas to do in this world is to look as
young as she says she is.
The kind of people who think thuy
are too old to learn never acquired
great deal of learning even when
they were young.

TOO LITTLE LOVE.

A girl Of 10 comes to the great city
to seek work. She finds none, and
no sympathy and no love, and she
takes poison, hoping to die. But she
RECEIVERS and returns to her country
home, where, as she puts it, is a
mother who loves her without pay
She is impressed with the fact that
In a great city there was no kindness
for her except at too dear a price
that for her there was no disinterest
ed love.
But. though it is natural she should
feel as she does, her terrible expert
ence considered, yet her feeling is
unjust to the people who make VI
the great city. There are relatively
very few human beings in the city
of New York who do not love some
thing and love that something devot
eddy, who have not some dear ones
for whom they would make any sacri
fee. This is true not only of good
people, but of so-called bad people
But it takes energy to love. 1t takes
nervous force and imagination and
time and labor. And unfortunately
none of us have more than a limited
amount of these good things. We
have not enough love to go round
We must, in our poverty, conserve
what we have in order to use it mos
effectively.
Many of us love the world in the
abstract. We wish all people well
emotionally and warmly so. But de
sire as we might to help everybody
in the world, our capacity is decided
ly limited.-New York Press.

BEES BUILD NEW BERRY.

Illinois horticulturists are excited
about a new berry, of which W. ID.
James, of Atlanta, ILL.,, has specimen,
and which, if the claims made for 1t
are true, may revolutionize the berry
industry.
The berry, which is called the rasp-
berry strawberry, has been grown at
Quincy, it is said, and is cross be-
tween the strawberry and the rasp-
berry. 1t is said to have originated
by accident, bees carrying pollen from
one berry's blossom to the others. A
Quincy farmer who has grown the ber-
ry for three years, says the bush is
about three feet high, the stock being
covered with thorns like a raspberry.
The fruit is dry and requires sugar
and cream to bring out the flavor 1t
has more delicate flavor than either
the strawberry or raspberry, and there
is lingering after-fiavor. According
to reports, the Quincy grower made
5000 out of a patch of these berries
100 feet long and feet wide, selling
the fruit at Is cents a quart. No cul-
tivation, it is said, is needed for the
berry. In the fall or early spring the
stalks are moved close to the ground
and the new shoots that follow bear
the fruit, their growth being so Wig
orous as to kill off the weeds that
spring up.

Report on Special Message.

The Senate committee appointed to
consider the recent special message of
the governor reported as follows:
Mr.. President, your committee to
which was referred Governor Shat
roths recent message to the Seven
teenth general assembly begs to report
as follows:
Your committee feels that this mat
ter should not have been referred to
any committee-that the message was
simply an expression by the governor
of his views on the political situation
in the state, which expression he has
the high prerogative to make at any
time. and neither should be condemned
nor commented by any committee

health. Mrs. ETA DONOVAN, Box

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, tibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, tlatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
ton.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
Dto at least give this medicine a trial:
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure you?

AUCTION OF COLORADO & NORTH
WESTERN RUNNING FROM
BOULDER TO WARD.
TO new COMPANY
DENVER, BOULDER & WESTERN
RAILROAD WITH CAPITAL
STOCK OF 100000.

Denver.-The Colorado & Northwest
ern Railroad, which runs from Boul-
der to Ward, was sold under foreclos-
use proceedings at Boulder yesterday.
The purchaser was Charles d. Marvin
of New York, who bought it in for the
bondholders at $25O,O00, the minimum
bid receivable under the court order.
The Indebtedness of the road is about
$1000,00O.
Papers of incorporation We're filed
about the same time with the secretary
of state for the Denver, Boulder &
Western Railroad Company, which
will take over the road as soon as prac-
ticable and operate it for the bond
holders.
The new company is capitalized at
100000. The incorporators are NJ. j.
Fields, Robert H. Widdecombe, w. B.
Hayes, E. E. Guy and A. S. Brooks.
The bondholders probably will au-
thorize improvements as soon as prac-
ticable. The capitalization under the
new company is considerably less than
under the company which built the
road. 1t is expected that it will be
made a paying proposition under the
new organization.

vided by great corporations. The gov.

The latest development in wireless
telegraphy is the application of t,S
system to railroad train operation.
The wireless method has been tried on
the Lake Shore line, and the managers
declare that the test, SO far as it has
gone, was eminently successful. They
are highly enthusiastic and assert be-
lief that by the use of the system ac-
cidents may be eliminated as far as 1t
is In human power to accomplish such
result. The managers may be over
sanguine. but additional experiments
In this direction certainly will be
awaited with interest. Wireless teleg-
raphy has proved life-saver at sea. If
equally successful on shore there will
be great gain to humanity.

~ do not agree with the gentlemen
who say the governor has offended in
asking the Legislature to do its duty.
There is, to my mind, only one higher
authority, and that is the people them
selves. Every day they are approving
the stand taken by the governor, and
clamoring that the senators do their
duty. The governor and the highest
authority in the state seem to be close
together SO far as the shortcomings Of
