IMPORTANT DECISION TO OWNER S
OF STOCK.


Among the recent decisions of the
Supreme Court of Kansas, published in
the Kansas Stute Record, we find the
following:
/. Every person who owns real es-
tate in fee simple, Is the exclusive own
er, and is entitled to the exclusive pos
session thereof.
2. Any other person who disturbs
that possession by entering upon such
real estate, or by allowing his cattle to
do so, without the consent of the own
err Is n trespasser.
3. Every owner of property, real or
personal, before he can maintain action
to recover for injuries done to ii, must
show that he used reasonable and or
binary care and diligence to protect il
from injury.
T. While the Legislature of this State
by enacting certain fence laws regulat-
ing the running at large of stock, haV-
ing implicitly declared that such rea-
sonable care and diligence with regard
to real estate shall be to fence it with a
lawful fence, and that no action shall
lie for injuries done to real estate by
roaming cattle, unless such lawful fence
is made: yet they have nowhere at
tempted to enact any law giving to any
person any rights upon another's land,
whether il is fenced or not. An act of
this kind would tend to disturb vested
rights, and be unconstitutional and void.
5. 1t is not necessary in order to en-
able party to recover for injuries done
to his property, caused by the negli-
gence of others, that he should be en-
tirely free from all negligence himself.
But If his negligence is slight, and that
of the other party is gross, or if his is
remote and that of the other is the
proximate cause of the injury, he may
recover.
9. 1t is a question of fact for the jury
to determine whether there has been
negligence, and its nature and degree,
but it Is question of law for the court
to determine what degree of care and
diligence on the one side, and of neg
ligence on the other, will entitle the
plaintiff to recover.
7. Ordinarily, when a person allows
his cattle to run on another's land with
out the owners consent, the owner of
the land is not liable for any injuries
the cattle receive while there, unless
the injuries are caused through his
gross negligence. But when any per-
son knowingly allows his cattle to run
on the lands of a railroad company, in
the vicinity of the railroad track, and
thereby endangers the lives and prop
erty or passengers and others, he can
recover only for injuries done to his
cattle, through the most gross and wan
ton negligence of the railroad company.
8. In this case the cattle of the plaint-
IDS below were killed on the railroad
track of the defendants below, by a
train running over them. Held, that it
was error for the court below to charge
the jury, that the defendants were IL
able il the cattle were killed through
the negligence or want of ordinary care
of the defendants.
8. 1t was also error to refuse to
charge the jury that the defendants be-
low were not liable unless the cattle
were killed through the gross negli-
gence of the defendants.
This is a very important decision, es-
peclally to stock owners residing near
the lines of any Of our railways.

LEIs' POWDER being both Tonic and Lax
alive, purifies the blood, removes bad humors,
and will he found most excellent in promoting
the condition OF sheep. Sheep require only
one-eighth the dose given to cattle.
In all new countries we hear of fatal diseas-
es among Fowls, styled Chicken Cholera,
Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-
mes, &c. LEIS POWDER will eradicate the
above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
IA small quantity with corn meal, moistened,
and feed twice a day. While these diseases
prevail, use little In their feed once or twice
a week, and your poultry will be kept free from
All disease. In severe attacks oftentimes they
do not eat; Ii will then be necessary to admin

the Powder down their throat, or mixing Pow

DOUBLE RUN-OFF.--Some years since,
a young woman ran off from her family
near Kansas City, and married man
named Howse, with whom she went to
California. After some years in Cali
fOrnia, she, in company with her hus-
band, returned to Kansas City, and got
from her mother some money, 81, 800, to
which she had right. She and her hus-
band bought team with which to go to
California again, and came to Leaven-
worth, preparatory to going. While
here they changed their minds through
fear of the Indians, and concluded on
going by stage. At this juncture the
husband sold the team, and ran off with
the money, and also with a child, about
five years old. The woman took steps
to have him pursued and if possible ar
rested, and went before Justice Tbolen
yesterday to take steps for the recovery
of the team by replevin but as she ac-
knowledged having consented to the
husbands selling the team, she was in
formed it could not be replevied.
So the case now stands-her husband
has run off with her child and her
money.-LeGcentoOr Commercial.

Somebody has been doing the harems Of

says the rooms. even IN the wealthlest houses,
are low and dark, and furnished ID very Dau
taste, chiefly owing to the mania OF turkish
women for taWdry ornaments from vienna or
Paris. By thej sides OF the hnest specimen
of Oriental art may be seen vase OF COM
mon Bohemian glass, with dusty wax flow
ers, which they prize more highly than many
of the beautiful ornaments of their native
manufacture. The same is the case with
their dress, which is a caricature of the fash
ions of Paris. They bave discarded the vel
vet Jacket and trowsers for stays, shiny boots
long trains and chignons. 1t has also be-
come the fashion to learn music, and teach
er on the pianoforte (of course ladyl has
made fortune by giving lessons in the ha-
rems. Another fashion is to have your Dor
trait taken. Their lavorite artist is an En-
glish woman, Miss Curtis. Some time AGO
this lady was commissioned TO paint full
length portrait of one of the Sultanas. The
Sultana was short and stout, and Miss Curtis
painted her accordingly. This, however, gave
great offence, and the Sultana insisted on her
being made a foot taller, saying that as she
was only nineteen years old she would be
sure to grow to that size. But instead of
growing taller, the Sultana only grew stouter.
so that at the end of twelvemonth the por-
trait was almost unrecognizable. Miss Cur
lis was then requested to paint the picture
a third time, and it is now nailed up to the
ceiling of the harem. The Sultan is des-
cribed as an lndolent man, of lymphatic tenn
perament; he has not had much education
