To lower freight rates and increase the

half the cost that we can to Detroit.
For example, lumber rates from Me

be that Il. .eH.n sula has never made
any strenuau. mort TO better its rail

been very heavy, certainly not as heavy
as they will be i'm the future and the

Liquor Licenses Reported.

County Attorney Griffin is in receipt
of the official list of liquor license
holders in Howard county, as certified
by the collector of internal revenue for
this district at Dubuque. According
to law the list is not made to include
legal permit holders among the drug
gists, and aside from these, but four
licenses in effect are held by Howard
county men and these are all druggists
who under the law may sell liquors if
mixed with drugs or chemicals SO that
it is impossible to use them as bev-
erage.
That there are no other holders of
licenses; 10 very good evidence that
our county attorney and sheriff have
practically stamped out illegal liquor
selling in the county.

Real Horsemauship.

For years, in fact as long as can be
remembered circuses have always fea-
tured strongly feats of equestrianism.
Riding acts have always been the nue.
leus of the circus for without them
there would be circus but simply
vaudeville show and into the latter the
circus of late years has apparently
drifted. This is due to the fact that
the riding acts have become monotc-
nous. They are the same today as they
were years long passed. The horses
with the same schooled canter and the
rider with the same schOold movements
have not in the least been changed.
Every rider rides the same, every horse
canters the same until their
acts become as tiresome as the repeat
ing of the multiplication tables. 1t is a
forced unnatural style and one that
fails to either appeal to lovers of good
horsmanship or to good horses.
With the 1Ol Ranch Wild West Show
which will be here Wednesday, August
Both, there is none of this schooled
style of riding. There is no forced gait
to which the horse is compelled to'con-
fine himself. There is no set pose for
the rider, it is the natural style of rid
ing that both the horse and rider en-
joy and meets with the approval of
those who enjoy riding. The riders
with the lOl Ranch show let them be
cowboys, cowgirls, Mexicans or Cas-
sacks are to the manner born. They
ride with combination of speed and
grace; they are at home in the saddle
or bare back. There is no better dis
play of horsemanship Imaginable than
when the entire company with speed
that is astonishing sweep around the
| arena.
