The Horse in the City

1t is not often that an automobile
attracts much attention on city
streets. The biggest, reddest, ugli-
est and freakiest cars may draw a
casual glance, but that is all. Autos
are a part of the streets familiar
spectacle. The horse has changed
places with the car in this respect.
A good team attracts more than pass
ing attention on the boulevards. A
fine pair of horses to carriage COM
mands the interest of the autoist and
the pedestrian alike. The auto has
lost its exclusiveness and with it the
novelty it possessed. Equine beauty
and strength still make strong ap-
peal.

FAILS TO SHAKE EXPERT
IN THE TRIAL OF ORPET
Prosecuting Attorney Tries to Dis
credit Testimony That Girl Got
Poison in Powdered Form.

WAuKEGAN, Ill. July 6.-Cross-ex-
animation OF DR. ]. A. wesener. expert
chemist, in the trial of Will H. Orpet,
today was directed In a futile attempt
to break down his direct testimony of
yesterday that Marion Lambert, the
youths former sweetheart, died last
February of potassium cyanide taken
in powdered form.
The tone of sarcasm adopted by At
torney David b. Joslyn Of the prosecu-
ton failed to disturb the eouanimity of
the witness.
The doctor was asked If potassium
cyanide in moist warm ashes and left
for eight or ten hours would deteriorate
in strength.
The witness said that the question
was vague, but that the moisture in the
ashes, If there was any. would assist
IN the deliquescence of the powder. He
knew Of no chemical in ordinary coal
ashes which would affect lump cyanide
The state alleges that Orpet got the
poison in the greenhouse Of which his
father had charge. and the remainder
four days later was thrown into the
ash heap.
DIR. Wesener's testimony so far has
been in direct conflict with that of DR..
Ralph w. Webster of Rush Medical
College. through whom the state has
sought to convince the jury that 1t
was liquid cyanide which caused
Marion's death. and that this cyanide
was brought to the girl by Orpet in a
bottle which he later disposed Of DR.
Wesener has declared that the cyanide
was in powdered form.

MCDRD-bREAKNG YEAR
IN MINING INDUSTRY

That 1915 is to be a record
year in the mining industry is the
prophecy of Director George Otis
Smith of the United States geological
survey. He bases his prediction on the
six-month period just closed. saying
that active demands and good prices
have furnished the mine operators with
full opportunity for success in work
ing developed properties. and this in
turn has given added incentive and
available funds for exploration, pros
pecting and experimentation with new
processes.
Summarizing the special reports
which are now being made public Dr.
rector Smith continues his review:
The returns for six months furnish
a basis for the belief that 1916 will
set up a new record for the soft-coal
mines Every coal-mining state Is
sharing in this prosperity. and. OF
course, this demand for coal Is TO De
OF the railroads and of the steel ana
other large industries.
Crude Oil Increases.
Drilling activity throughout the oil
producing states has brought about
gratifying increase in production of
crude oil that promises to make 1915
record year for marketed petroleum.
Already production and consumption
are reported by the surveys specialist
ss essentially in balance east Of the
Rocky mountains. with tendency to
lower prices.
The Portland cement industry has had
a busy six months and the manu-
facturers are optimistic 1t is pre-
dicted that in both production and
shipments of cement this year will
show a gain over last year, If. in
deed. 1t does not establish a new rec
cord for cement
Among the metals. copper is con-
tinuing the steady increase in produc-
ton which began early last year, and
the forecast for 1915 indicates not
only the largest output ever known.
but also the largest profits.
Shipments of iron ore from Lake Su-
perior points for five months of 1916
exceeded by more than so per cent
and the indications for the year are
favorable for a new high record on
iron ore production. and Of pig iron
as we'll Higher prices with a steady
demand are stimulating the mining
Of manganese, with the result that this
years output of ore is expected to
surpass the large production of last
year.
The lead and zinc mines are produc-
ing ore at a rate even exceeding that
of last year. and the prevailing prices
have made possible the working of
large quantities of low-grade ore.
Most precious-metal mines are op-
Grating at full capacity. The gold
production will probably fall below
the high yield of last year. but silver.
the one metal last to benefit by the
general domestic prosperity, is ex-
pected to break all previous records
