THEY SHOOT HORSES.

{profitable I in Nevada.
Sport Pursuing the Wild
|L Equities in Nevada.
The act passed by tbe last Nevada
(Legislature authorizing the killing of
.■wild horses throughout the State has
^developed a profitable industry and
tamps of hunters have been estab-
lished at ail of the springs and water
Courses where the bands resort. The
hides sell for $2 each and the hair
of their manes and tails bring 15 rents
& pound. The growth of the latter on
the wild equine species is far more
profuse than on the tamed animals,
a weight of nearly ten pounds of hair
being frequently obtained from one
carcass.
The first hunters to take the field
after the law went Into effect realized j
handsomely, frequently shooting from !
six to ten a day, but since the slaughter
began the animals have come to view ;
man as a relentless foe and as soon as
one is sighted or scented by a band
they bound away over the bill, plain
and canyon at a speed'that defies pur-
suit, never halting while their sup- !
posed enemies are In sight or hearing.
The vast plains, hill slopes and val-
leys In Humboldt County, west of
Humboldt Itiver, extending to the
Black Bock and Pueblo Mountain
ranges on the Oregon and Idaho bor- |
ders, Is a favorite grazing region for j
wild horses,bandsnumberingthousands ;
roaming at will over the broad stretches
of hill and plain, keeping in fine con-
ditlon subsisting on hunch grass, |
whkh, when they are exterminated, j
will furnsh feed for countless herds |
of cattle prevented heretofore from
ranging in the same localities as the
wild equine, who evidently claim the
roost productive feed ranges as their
special domain, fiercely attacking cat¬
tle venturing within their boundaries.
Magnificent specimens of the equine
race, weighing 1,200 and 1,800 pounds,
are frequently seen among the wild
hands, with heads erect and flowing
manes and tails—the latter sweeping
the ground, their fleetness preventing
their capture by vnqueros, who rarely
ever get within a lariat’s throw of
them. Their organs of hearing, s.ght
and smell are amazingly acute, as the
bands take alarm and can be seen
speeding over hills miles away when¬
ever travelers approach their domain.
Tame horses turned out to shift for
themselves are frequently rounded up
by the leaders of wild hands, and soon
become as unmanageable as their cap-
tors.
The continuance of the slaughter of
these nomads will obliterate an In¬
teresting feature of Nevada’s otherwise
vast and inanimate wastes.

j RESULT OF ELECTION LEADS TO
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
TO SUCCEED SENATOR LINDSAY.
U, ' rlt ”' u, n* lucre... Majority of Sh»«k-
©Iford Candidate For Ctark of Court
of Appeals.
A Louisville dispatch says: Ex-
senator Joe C. 8 . Blackburn, of Ken-
tucky, is rejoicing at the democratic
victory iu that state, and the announce-
ment comes that lie is a candidate for
United Htates senator to succeed Sen¬
ator William L. Lindsay, national
democrat. To a few voters this news
will come as a surprise, but to the
rank and file it is no more than had
been expected.
The more complete election returns
received Wednesday only served to
increase the large majority of Samuel
Shackelford over four opponents in
t i ie op pellate clerkship contest,
if the unreported counties give
their usual majorities—and there is
every reason for calculating that they
w ill increase former votes, that having
been the rule in counties thus tar
heard from—the total democratic ma-
j ority will amonnt up to the old-time
figures of 30,000.
The democrats have a majority in both
houses of the next legislature, as indi¬
cated in the counts Wednesday morning
and that means the next senator from
Kentucky will not be a companion of
Mr. Peboe. With Senator Blackburn
already announced, it would seem that
he had the advantage of an early bird
walkover for the toga he once wore,
and many democrats think this will
prove true. There be may other candi¬
dates of prominence before the gen¬
eral assembly, but most of the demo¬
crats who have expressed themselves
think Blackburn will be re-elected
without an effort.
While many leaders on both Bides
say tlio present fight has been won by
the re-united party, which for the time
deals with local issues, the stanch sil¬
ver party champions say the election
was significant in that it was a victory
for that element of Kentucky voters
who favor the free ooinageof silver and
indorse the actions of William J.
Bryan.
Most of the silver papers in the state
announce editorially that they
have begun the fight for 1900 with the
supreme conviction that Bryan will
again be the nominee and be elected.
On the ather hand the editors who
oppose silver sny another and more
important issne will he brought to the
front in 1900 and that the democrats
have had enough of the currency agita¬
tion.
BRYAN ISSUES STATEMENT.
Ncbraftknn Seen Hope For Free Silver In
Tuendey'a Flection*.
A special from Linooln says: Mr.
Bryan gave out the following statement
Wednesday:
“To tho Associated Press: The re¬
turns are so incomplete that it is im¬
possible to discuss yesterday’s election
iu detail. The republicans everywhere
endorse the republican administration
and in view of losses sustained by
them in almost every state it would
seem that republican politics are not
being endorsed at the polls.
“The sentimeut in favor of the Chi¬
cago platform shows a healthy growth
throughout the country. Perhaps our
opponents will now admit that silver
is not dead. The attempt to secure
international bimetallism has proven a
failure and it is now more apparent
than ever that the people of the United
Htates must legislate for themselves on
the financial question. Free and un¬
limited coinage at 16 to 1 is nearer
now than it was a year ago. High
tariff upon a gold basis has disappointed
those republicans who looked to it for
relief,
“Tnken as a whole, the returns are
very encouraging. I think I voice the
sentiments of the democracy, populists
•and silver republicans when I sny
that, the fight will be continued with
even more earnestness until the gold
monopoly is broken and the money
trust is overthrown. The fusion forces
increase their pencentage in Nebraska
and possibly their actual majority.

THE UNION PACIFIC MONET
j ^ Taken Charge of by Various New
York Banks.
A Washington special of Thursday
aays: Assistant Secretary Vanderlip
has returned from a brief visit to New
York, where he arranged for the trans¬
fer by the reorganization committee
of the government’s share of the pur¬
chase proceeds of the Union Pacific
railroad.
Several banks of New York city
have made applications for the deposit
with them of such amounts of the pur¬
chase money as the treasury depart¬
ment may deem necessary in order
that there may be no disturbance of
the money market in consequence of
the reorganization committee's heavy
withdrawals.
The National City bank will accept
$15,000,000; the Chase National, 32,-
000,000; the National Bank of tbe iie-
public, $800,000, and the American
Exchange National, National and the Seaboard
$500,000 each, making a total
of $20,800,000.
Other banks will also apply for , on-
siderable amounts and furnish the re¬
quired indemnity bonds, should it be
deemed necessary.
Tbe fact, however, that the reor-
ganization committee has decided to
make its payments according to the
dates fixed by the court, instead of
paying the whole amount at once, will
relieve the situation very materially.
A member of the Union Pacific syn¬
dicate, speaking of tlie arrangements
for depositing in banks the $58,000,-
000 which is to be paid to the govern¬
ment for the release of its lien upon
the Union Pacific main line, purchased
last week at Omaha ia Neb., said:
“The transa^vi 0 will bo carried
through withouV-lj ripple to disturb
the financial situation. The money
will be deposited in eight or nine
banks, and more if they are able, to
qualify as such depository. One bank
is ready to take $15,000,000 of the
money and it can arrange to take $30,-
000,000 if necessary.”
GERMANY IS PACIFIED.
The If ay II an Affair Fu<Ih Peaceably und
Satiafactorlly.
The Berlin Post states that the diffi¬
culty which recently arose between
Count Schwerin, tlie German minister
to the Republic of Hayti, and Presi¬
dent Simon Sam over the arrest of a
German subject named Linders, lias
been already closed ‘in a manner con¬
sonant with the dignity of Germany.”
The story of a proposed naval dem¬
onstration in Haytian waters is, the
Post asserts, an exaggeration and
grows out of the coincidence of the
arrival of three German training ships
at Port au Prince.
SALE POSTPONED.
Kenans Itrnncli Union I'nelflo Hallway
Will Hell in December.
The sale of the Kansas Pacific
branch of the Union Pacific railway
under the government foreclosure set
for Thursday in Topeka, was post¬
poned till Thursday, December 16.
W. D. Cornish, of St. Paul, special
master, was present, and at 11 o’clock
appeared at tho depot of the Union
Pacific.
There were no bidders present and
none were expected. Mr. Cornish, as
anticipated, simply and formally an¬
nounced that under the authority of
the court he adjourned the sale.
EXTENSIVE BEET SUGAR MILL

Scale by the Oxnnrdft.
Another important enterprise in the
beet sugar manufacturing industry is

tne Oxnards, proprietors of the Chino
factory. They have recently been ex¬
amining several different sites in wide¬
ly separated localities, and have de¬
clared in favor of Hueneme, Ventura

CONFEDERATE VETERANS WILL
MEET IN ATLANTA NEXT JULY.
ANNIVERSARY OF THREE BATTLES.
Commad.rs of Georgia fatnp* Hold Meet-
ing In Atlanta and Make Arrpnge-
menta for the Occasion.
The confederate veterans have de¬
cided on the date for the great reunion
to be held in Atlanta next year.
A meeting of the commanders and
representatives of all the Georgia camps
of veterans was held in Atlanta Friday
to take the first steps in arranging for
the great event. It was the recom¬
mendation of the meeting that the re¬
union be held at some time between
tbe 20th of July and the 20th of Au¬
gust. The two battles of Atlanta were
fought on July 20 and 22. The first
battle of Manassas on July 21. The re-
union will continue during three days
and it can thus be made to celebrate
three important anniversaries.
The final decision in the matter is
left with the committee appointed at
the Nashville reunion, but it is custom¬
ary for the committee to choose such a
time as is most pleasing to the people
where the reunion is to be held.
Tlie meeting was called several
weeks ago by General Clement A.
Evans, for the purpose of inaugurating
plans for the entertainmont of the
veterans who will gather in the Gate
City in 1898. More than 100 repre¬
sentatives of the Georgia camps were
present. General Evans presided and
opened the meeting with a brief but
stirring address.
A resolution was passed calling upon
the representatives of tlie various
camps to exert every effort to bring
every Confederate veteran in Georgia
to the Atlanta reunion.
Another resolution thanked the city
council for its cordial invitation in be¬
half of the people of Atlanta, and
pledged the hearty co-operation of all
the state camps in making the reunion
a grand success.
Thus the first gun in anticipation of
the reunion has been fired. It is pro¬
posed to have a great crowd in Atlanta
in ’99, and a resolution was passed
calling upon the camps in all the coun¬
ties of the state to appoint a commit¬
tee for the purpose of collecting sub¬
sistence stores and money to assist
Atlanta in taking care of the veterans.
There are at present 90 camps of
Confederate veterans in Georgia and
others will be formed before the re¬
union occurs.
General Evans is highly pleased at
the success of the first step taken, and
looks forward to an unparalleled cele¬
bration.
TRAIN MAKES FATAL RUN.
Carried Death All Along the “Cotlon
Belt.” Route
Tho passenger train on the St.Louis
and Southwestern road, known as the
“Cotton Belt” route, was ill-fated and
death marked its run Friday. Near
Mount Pleasant, Texas, the train ran
over J. C. Beasley, an ex-section fore-
f man, who had fallen asleep on the
track, lie was killed instantly.
About thirty miles further west, near
Greenville, three negro children were
playing down among the timbers of a
trestle bridge. They scampered up to
the track trying to escape. They had
not been seen by the engineer and
were so close to the engine that they
were run over before being discovered.
Two were killed between the rails.
The other died an hour later.
A few miles further west, near Wy¬
lie, a passenger named J. C. Davis,
entered a toilet room and committed
suicide by shooting himself through
tho head. His home was at Cedar
Hill, near Dalfas. His friends cannot
account for his killing himself.
TRIAL OF CREW.
Competitor’s Prisoners Will Be Arraigned
Before Naval Court.
A special of Friday from Havana
say s:
The trial of the crew of the schooner
Competitor before the naval courtmar-
tiftl, whose decision must be confirmed
Monday by the Madrid government, will begin
morning.
Senor Mass Domingez will conduct
the defense.
AGAINST DEMOCRATS.
Wood County. Ohio, D ill Be Place In He-
publican Column,
A special from Columbus, O., says:
Tho only important development in
the status of the next general assembly
Saturday was the decision in the Wood
county case, which once more removes
that county from the doubtful list to
the republican column.
Chairman Nash does not believe the
case will be appealed by the demo¬
crats, since the law in the case is plain.
There was seme talk of an injunc¬
tion against the supervisors, but it was
not confirmed. Should no further
change be made, the republicans will
have five majority on joint ballot.
FROST IN NEW ORLEANS..
nreatU't! Yellow Jack May Now Give IV»y
to Jack Frost.
A light frost fell in New Orleans
Tuesday night, but what effect it will
have on the fever will not be deter-
mined for a day or two yet,
It is a source of gratification to the
board of health officials that the situa¬
tion has remained at a standstill, the
record of new cases since Saturday re¬
maining at 85 daily. Tuesday’s death
roll was small.
ENGLAND AND FRANCE

Britain L .s been on the brink of war

tries.
The news from Lagos, west coast of
Africa, that the French had evacuated
Sakie,one of tho posts in the Lagos,
FIGUKES ARE UNCHANGED.
N«w York City and State Show Big Ma¬
jorities For Democrats.
A special from New Ycrk says: Re~
turns frem the state and city elections
received Wednesday do not change
the result announced by the Associa¬
ted Press early Tuesday night.
Returns from all the counties in the
state indicate a plurality of more than
58,000 for Alton B. Parker, democratio
mndidate for chief judge of the court
of appeals. His plurality in Greater
New York is 133,058.
Tan Wyck, Tammany candidate for
mayor of New York, has 81,548 plural¬
ity over Seth Low and 118,401 over
General Tracy.
Henry George polled 20,422 votes,
and the combined votes cast for Glea-
son, Wardwell, Faniel and Cruik-
shank, the candidates of the prohibi¬
tion, socialist-labor and united democ¬
racy parties, totaled less than 50,000.
The state legislature remains re¬
publican. The senators hold over,
and the new house of assembly stands
35 republicans to 68 democrats.
In the present senate the republican
majority is 30; in the house, 78.
“BIMETALLISM LIVES.”
Saj 8 Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, Who Sup¬
ported Candidate Tracy.
CbanuceyM. Depew, who supported
Tracy, says that the election resulted
just as he feared it would.
“Those who are inclined to view the
selection in New York city as being of
national significance,” said lie, “are
away off in their reckoning. New
York is a cosmopolitan city. The
inhabitants of London are nearly all
English; the peQple of Berlin are
Germans solidly; the people of Paris,
except for a small fraction, are French.
New York has only about 20 per cent
of Americans—that is, American-born
inhabitants. The rest are from Europe
and all parts of the world, and they
retain tbe habits, language and char-
ccteristics of their native countries.
“The election issue in New York
has no national significance, but, with
an alarming falling off of the republi¬
can vote in the state, with heavy losses
in New Jersey, Ohio and other states,
the republican partyis confronted with
the incontrovertible truth that Bryan-
ism and bimetallism are not dead. It
warns them that they must take steps
at once, and emphatically, to settle
this currency question beyond any
hope of reopening it.”
UNCERTAIN IN OHIO.
Both Republicans and Democrats Claim
Majority In Legislature.
A Cincinnati special of Wednesday
sr.ys: The democrats and republicans
of Ohio are both claiming the legisla¬
ture. The democrats claim a margin
of four and the republicans say they
have a majority on joint ballot of three.
So the senatorsliip is in dispute and
only the official count will settle it.
Summed up the situation is this:
Both sides claim the legislature and
both sides are already crying fraud.
Each state committee has sent out
messages to all of the respective county
chairmen warning them to be on guard
for fraud. Hanna claims the legisla¬
ture and has issued a statement to that
effect. McLean claims the legislature
but declines to make a public state¬
ment.
Neither side will surrender till the
offic'al count is made and this will be
done by a republican secretary of state.
ELECTIONS PLEASED M’KIXLEY.
However, the President is Anxious About
Senator Hanna.
“I am well pleased with the result
of the election, as it indicates that
fealty to the republican party and to
the principles it represents are as
strong as ever. ”
So spoke President McKinley in the
private car Mayflower, at Canton, to a
reporter Wednesday morning. In the
car was placed a long distance tele¬
phone and a telegraph operator, and
here the president, accompanied by
Senator Burrows and Private Secre¬
tary Porter, sat and received the news
of the great battle of votes that was
being waged over the land.
The president made no effort to dis¬
guise the fact that his views were cen¬
tered in Ohio, and in Senator Henna.
In fact, Mr. McKinley was in constant
communication with Senator Hanna.
Eckels Accepts Bank Presidency.
James H. Eckels, the comptroller of
the currency, will accept the presiden¬
cy of tho Commercial National bank of
Chicago, to which he was elected a few
days ago.
DEATH IN A WRECK.

Pueblo, at 2 o’clock Saturday morning
caused by the break oi. t
of the journal
one of the coaches.
The cars were all crowded with ex¬
cursionists bound to the festival oi
Mountain and Plain at Denver.
There was little excitement and not
much wreckage, as the train was run¬
ning very slowly.

ovary is setting in, and soon there will be, if there

first, but later copious and irritating. Soon, also,

Do not, my sister, let your malady go so far, but
those of you who are already suffering in this
way should.begin at once a course of treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 1
It will restore the organs to their normal con¬ 0
dition. 7
In this connection Mrs. E. L. Myers, Quak-> j
ake, Pa., says: ‘ My ovaries were badly dis-
eased, and for almost a year I suffered with se¬
vere burning pains which were almost unendur able, and a dull, heavy pain In
the lower portion of my back. If standing I was most relieved with my foot
resting on a stool or chair. The doctor told me I would have to take my
bed and keep quiet, I had not used half a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege¬
table Compound before it worked wonders with me. I now owe my health
to the Compound. To those who are suffering from diseases peculiar to wo-
men, I would say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is just what
they need.”
Mrs. Pinkham wishes to befriend you, and if you will write her at Lynn,
Mass., telling her just how you feel, she will give you the very best advice
free of charge. Think what a privilege it is to be able to write to a woman
who is learned in all these matters, and willing to advise you without charge.

Crinding Un a Whale.
There recently arrived at Liverpool
the steamer Latona, whose captain re¬
ports a remarkable occurrence in the
neighborhood of Demerara. His ves¬
sel, which was going along smoothly,
suddenly stopped. An examination of
the screw propeller showed that a big
fish had been caught in the aperture
in which the propeller worked. The
creature stuck out at each side at least
twenty-five feet in length. Captain
Gardener states that it lashed its tail
tremendously, dashing the spray ifi all
directions, so that all attempts to get
a rope around it proved abortive. An
attempt was made to cut the creature
in two with a sharpened spade affixed
to the end of a spar, hut owing to the
rolling of the vessel this also failed.
At length the captain ordered the engi¬
neer to set the propeller going slowly
to and fro. This he did, and at each
movement of the screw a noise like the
rending of stout canvas was heard.
The great fish was in effect being liter¬
ally sliced up, a great piece being
taken off it as each blade came around.
After this had gone on for some mo¬
ments the engines were put on full
steam and for a moment all round
the stern bits of fish were flying in the
air. At last the screw became free,
and the last remnant of the great fish
fell into the sea. Captain Gardener
declares the belief that the fish was a
small whale, perhaps what is called a
grampus.
Besides her Scotch, English and In-
dian male servants, the Queen has a
Couple Of German attendants who go
by the name of Jaeger, and who at-
tend her Majesty wherever she goes.
When in full dress they are garbed in
the ,, most , magnificent . _ plumed hats,
green coats with gold embroideries
and a short sword, or rather hunting
knife, the hilt o’ "'hieh is gold-mount-
ea duckdoi „ n.
These German Jaegers were intro¬
duced by the Prince Consort, for in
Germany, not only every royal per¬
sonage, but, moreover, every good
nobleman or ambassador has his spe¬
cial body Jaeger. The Prince of Wales’
Jaeger, for instance, invariably at¬
tends his royal master at all the din¬
ners at which the Prince may be pres¬
ent.
He stands behind the Prince’s chair,
arrayed in a scarlet coat, and the
dishes with which the Prince is to be
served are invariably handed to the
Jaeger to place before His Royal High¬
ness. None of the ordinary servants
of the establishment are permitted to
serve the Prince himself.
