Anoka was shocked Saturday of last week at hearing that Mrs. A. D. Howard, one of its moht highly respected and useful citiz9ns, was lying at death's door. Many had not even known of her illuess. Mrs. Howard left Anoka, November 27, in her usual good h 'Bltb, to attend a familv reunion at Carthage, Mo., and while there she beoame ill and returned December 8, a few days earlier than she bad planned on. It was not thought that her iilness wag of a serious nature, but it soon turned into typhoid fever. No unfavorable symptoms appeared and Friday of last week tbe fever left her, but a ohronio wenkneas of tbe heart left the patient in saob a oonditioo that she was unable to rally and Saturday at mid night passed away. Mrs. Howard was born iu Ohio in 1842, making her nearlv 58 years of age. She was married to A. D. Howard in 1882 in Missouri and came to Anoka to live tbe same year. Two sons were born to tbem and still live. Mrs. Howard was most bigbly re epeoted by the entire community, and in very many ways waa a useful citizen.

Kansas Has Supplied Two Thousand as ltemilt of the TriiiiBvaul War. toat Englishmen are buying horses for tbe London and Liverpool horse markets at the Grand avenue horse and mule market today. The Transvaal war has done us run oh for tbe horse trade in Kansas as it bas for tbe trade iu mules, but it is accomplished in a more round about way. Iu money aotually paid out at the horse sales by England now ex oeeds the money paid for mules. The English government does not buy horses oireot at the Kansas City market as it buys mules, 1U00 at a time. It gets the horses in England. There is a law by which tbe government oan take any horse needed for the army, and aa many as are needed to supply its troops, A quartermaster oan stop a street car or ooaoh and unhitch a team, paying gov ernment prioe for the horses. The stand ard prioe for a sound, seasoned horse is j40, equivalent to about $200 in Ameri can money. Since tbe war io tbe Trans vaal beoame serious tbe government has been gathering horsss and tbe supply in Eoglaud is consequently very low. Tbe big traders who own horse markets io L'indou and Liverpool sent agents to Amerioa to buy horses to take tbe plao of tbose needed for war. The fourth buyer on tbe Kansas City market, Tbos. Kirkland, oame this morning. Joseph Nugent of Liverpool, Samuel Jones and James Adams, buyers for London, were already on tbe market. They do not buy In large lots, but each horse is bought single, tbe purchaser examining bim on bis own aooount and dealing with the owner direot or with the commission firms, Woloott, Beers k Co. aud Erwin, Grant & Co. As fast as one buyer gets a carload of horses he ships tbem out, aud tbe shipments of the last few days have averaged about a carload a day. Tbe demand is so strong that tbe En glish buyers are taking every horse suit able for their use tbat is offered. Ao Amerioan wbo wishes to buy that class of horses must pay a good round prioe fur tbem. Tbere is one Amerioan buyer wbo seems to be making the most of the needs of the Englishmen. He is John Perkins, a trader and horse breeder, wbo owns a big farm in Ohio with large feed iog barns. Mr. Perkins does not com pete with the Englishmen for Euglisb horses, but buys tbin animals that have tbe frames, but are rejected because of their spareuess He is baying Io ship East and feed. After the horses have become fat and trim, they will go on the market for tne foreign trade. "The export trade," U. M. Been said, "is improving rapidly this full instead of falling off, as it usually does et this time of the year. As a rule tbe export trade becomes very dull in the fall, but partly io antioipatioo of demands in England, and partly because the demand already exists the EugliHh trade is tirowing very fast. Probably 2000 horses have been ild or contracted for blrenily on account of England's war with lbs Boars. It bas strengthened tbe market and is making the trade here very brisk just when one would expeot to fall down." Kansas City Star. Ilruwn's In Town.
