Horses Dear ia Spain.

A traveller says: Horses in Spain
are ridiculouSly expensive. Out Of
curiosity l priced one pony-a five
year-old. of very poor quality. but
sound; and l was asked two hun
bred dollars for an animal which In
England or America would be
a hundred at the outside. Obvious
ly the owner raised the price ter
the benefit Of a foreign stranger,
but even so it was ridiculous. 1t
is worthy Of note that at the last
horse show in Seville party Of
English visitors-all hunting men-
agreed. after inspecting the exhib-
its, that they had not seen a horse
which any of them would not care
to possess. The truth of the matter
is that the Spaniard, though as a
rule an excellent rider, is no judge
of horseflesh-at least, according to
English standards. The type of a
horse he admires most is the Eng
fish hackney, and it is the funniest
sight in the world to see him en-
deavoring to ride one. One imag-
ines that hackneys are bought in
SPAIN as elsewhere, for driving pur-
poses; but several times | saw peo-
pie riding them, and as the Span
lard is accustomed to riding beasts
that lope along and never trot, he
is unaccustomed to rise in his stir
rups. Consequently, he is far from
happy on a housekeeping hackney"

Election Contest Proceedings.

The right to resort to ballots
and poll lists in contested election
cases was long ago established. 1t
is equally we'll established that the
ballots and poll lists are undoubted-
ly better evidence of the vote cast
than the returns and that they
should prevail whenever there is
any difference.
If. in an election contest, there
is not to be allowed full Opportun-
ity to investigate every vote cast at
the election, in order to ascertain
the names of every man who voted
at that election and to show how
he voted, according to the record of
the election officers, there is no way
by which it can be established that
there was fraud or wrongdoing in
the election.
The proceedings in the contest
would be limited to a mere recount
of The ballots, and the result would
be that the election would not de-
pend upon the will of the honest
voters and the honest ballots, but
made to turn entirely upon the
errors and omissions, willful or acct
dental, of the election officers.
| No opportunity would be given
to allow for the operation of any
consideration of the voters qualifi-
cations OF the actual exercise of the
privilege by only qualified and psk;
per persons Nor would there be
any greater opportunity to show
that the judges, by grossest fraud!
had tempered with the ballots and
changed their character entirely; 20

A DREAM WORKED OUT
Seventy Years Ago Vim. NJ MuldrOW
Planaed g Railroad Now Under
Goa struction.

printer by VIM. H. Bingham. who
also published the Macon County
History. will contain an interesting
chapter about the carly day pro-
moter of Missouri, William NJ. Null
drow. This will be the third book
in which that wonderfully optimistic
character has figured. the others
being Martin Cluzzlewitt," by
Charles Dickens and The Gilded
Age" by Mark Twain, Probably no
other citizen Of this commonwealth
has enjoyed, such wide fame as this
far-seeine citizen Of Marion county.
Muldrow was the pionesr land
boomer and promoter Of Northeast
Missouri. His only misfortune was
that he lived about half a century
ahead of his time. Now his great
dreams have worked out, or are
being consumated. He it was who
first saw the immense possibilities
of a great trans-continental railroad
system. linking the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. and it is said his
Missouri survey was along the iden-
teal lines now under construction
by the Northern Missouri Interur-
ban from Palmyra to LaPlata.
To MuldroW belongs the credit of
having invented a pillow that was so
satisfactory as a prairie breaker it
was generally adopted by the early
day farmers who had to 90 against
the then stubborn prairie soil of
Northern Missouri and who found
the light implement made in the
east inadequate for such hard serv-
ice. The Muldrow pillow. when
drawn by a string of oxen, would
turn up an immense amount of sod.
1t left a broad, clean furrow that
could be distinguished for a long
ways. Many of the Missouri patri-
archs tell it as q solemn fact that
Muldrow drove pillow of this char
acter from Marion City six miles
east of Palmyra-through Palmyra
philadelphia" New York" Bethel
and on into Macon county to indi-
cate the course to be be taken by
the Missouri link of his great rail-
road system. Expert investigation
having determined in latter years
the practacability of this OK team
survey the Interurban is following
it almost without any deviation
whatever.
Marion City" on the Mississippi
was founded by Muldrow, and hi
intended to make it the metropolis
of the state, the headquarters fol
his nationwide operations. Thi.
was the place Dickens described al
Eden" in Martin Chuzzlewitt. L
was extensively advertised. 81
great became its notoriety tina
Dickens used it as the lodeStone By
which emigrants were attracted
from England; it promised wha
California did in '49 and Alaska il
81. There was no end to tn,
wealth that might be acquired b!
one who was the fortunate possess
or of town lots in Marion City
Muldrow travelled east, visited al
the big centers there. and his sum,
ways, courtly manners and eterna
optimism caused the money bag
to unlOOsen generously. For a Will
Marion City was the most impor
tant place midways of the cont
nent. People were rushing thithe
from all parts of America. and eve
Europe was sending its adventurou
spirits across she waters to share L
the upbuildinG of MuldroW's dream

store homes were Going up, entel

ter that impressed his personality
upon you 80 strongly that you car
ried him with you in your thoughts.
That is why Dickens and Mark
Twain wrote 90 interestingly about
him. The moment. they met him
they intuitively recognized the rich
material for their works. They
didn't need to exasserate the char.
acter. 1t was all there complete.
"Muldrow's enthusiasm defied
obstacles. Misfortunes and setbacks
only made him the more hopeful.
He worked on the percentage theo-
ry- that after a certain percentage
of failures luck was bound to turn.
In those days they called him a
visionary a dreamer. The trouble
with him was he was ahead of his
time. Most of his projects have
since been worked out successfully
all except that eye-water scheme

towns and the schools and factories
and railroads have been built and
most of them right about where he
had planned them. He induced
