POWERFUL ARGUMENTS.
Prompt Change of Mind OF "a Ticket
Agent.

A few days ago tall, rough-lookine
mountaineer entered the Union Railroad
ticket office at Denver, and, through mis-
take, purchased a ticket for New York via
the Kansas Pacific line, when he wanted to
go over the Union Pacific. He did not dis
cover this fact until after the ticket had been
paid for, and on asking the agent to change
it the latter refused to do so.
A"You won't change this ticket, then,
won't yOu?"
''No, sir" replied the agent; "you have
your ticket, and l have the money for it,
and if you want a ticket over the other
route you Will have to buy it,"
Very quietly the stranger twisted his tick
ct into a small roll; very serenely he drew
from under his right coat-tail a six-shooter,
about the dimensions of mountain how
itzer; coolly and deliberately he stuck the
twisted ticket into the muzzie of that six
shooter, and sticking the ugly-looking thing
through the little square window of the
ticket Office, and almost in the agents face,
and speaking in the tone that left no doubt
of his determination, said:
STRANGER, thar's that ticket; take it
yourself and change it, or by Cd I'll blow
it clean through YOU"
The ticket was changed Immediately,
and without any more words from the
agent, and the mOUntaineer walked away,
saying: 81 jest thought could induce him
to change his mind leetle."

THE MISSISSIPPI.
Om,uous Outlook at ST. Lou,.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2-The ice gorges still
hold fast here, but the prospects favor a
speedy break up. The river is rising and
the rains which have fallen over large sec
ton Of country are swelling nearly all the
upper streams. The Usage and GascOn-
ade, tributaries of the Missouri, which
rise in the Ozark mountains, south of st.
Louis, are said be rising rapidly. If true,
the Missouri below their mouths will break
up with rush, and carry out the gorge
here with an impetus that bodies dis
sster to the crafts at our leVee and below.
Rain fell here all last night and most of to-
day. Colder tonight.

ARTG I,HING ONCE.
From the Omaha Bee, Dec. "a

Billy Kelly, compositor, who recently
left Omaha for Sioux City, returned yes
terday, in company with John Henry, an.
other composition, the two boys having
skated most of the distance from Sioux
City down the Missouri river. They
left that place Sunday morning at
half-past six O'Clock and skabed all day,
laying up over night at q section-house
of the Sioux City and Pacific rail-
road. Next morning they resumed
their trip at daylight, arriving al
Missouri Valley Junction at 4 O'Clock, on
Monday afternoon, distance, by the river,
Of about 200 miles from the starting point.
During their travels Kelly froze both ears,
his cheek-of which he has plenty-and
one heel; while Henry escaped with two
frozen ears. This is probably one of the
most remarkable and perilous skating feats
ever undertaken in this country. The
boys are to-day sticking type in the Bee
office, and it will probably be some time be-
fore they undertake another similar spin OF
the ice.

Exciting Billiard Match.
The billiard game for the diamond cue

Maurice Daily and Cyrille Dion, both of

table, took place this evening. On the list
inning when the string showed Dion l ,406
and DAILY 1,49O, Marker Schofeld, of New
York, stepped to the table and declared that
DAILY in the early part Of the game run 1852,
and when he (Schofeld) went to mark it, a
gentleman in the audience called out that
he only made 146, and Schofeld marked
only 146. Great confusion ensued. An
appeal was made to reporters by the ref
cree, John c.. Heenan, and they all
agreed that the run should have given DAILY
1872 credit. The police restored order aud
speeches were made by DAILY, and Dion
and others. Finally the referee called out
that all bets On the game were declared off,
and the game will be played one week from

p We clip the followin

@ We clip the following
from the last Moore county Pr
Oneer. If there is an error in
the location of the line dividing
Lincoln and Moore counties, it
must be rectified, of course;
but when that is done, we trust
that Moore may be permitted TO
stand, as county, mmolested.
Its people want it, and we are
willing that they should have it :
Lincoln county, so we are in
formed, has instituted a law
suit, by a Bill in Chancery, a.
gainst our county. The Bill
seeks TO set aside the action of
tho Commissioners appointed
under the act to establish the
county, claiming that the Con-
stitution of the State and the
act itself was violated by the
Commissioners. The Bill asks
that the whole territory origi-
nally taken from Lincoln be re-
stored to that county, and that
all the Magistrates of Moore,
and the other officers-particu-
larly the Tax ollector-be per-
petally enjoined from exercising
jurisdiction over said territory.
It also asks that Receiver be
appointed, and that the Tax
Collector be ordered to pay o.
yer all the taxes in his hands,
or that may be collected by him,
TO said Receiver to await the
decision of this lawsuit. The
Bill has not been officially
served upon the officers of this
county as yet, but has been sent
to Judge Marks for his fiat.
Messrs. Woods & Martin and
j. Ii. Holman have been re-
tanned as counsel on the part of
Lincoln. Moore has not en-
ployed Attorneys as yet.

will probably be the result
We will try and keep our read

The Railroad Question in
the West.

The farmers in Kansas have
taken up the railroad question,
and recently held a convention
at Topeka, for consultation upon
the matter. Thus the consider
alton of this question is spread
ing, and no wonder. In this the
nineteenth century would seem
to be too late to suppose that the
duty of the great majority is to
spend their lives in toll, for the
purpose of supporting few.
Somehow or other, the con-
ccption is abroad among the
producers of wealth, that their
interests are not sufficiently con-
.sidered mi distribution. They
have learned. by hard experience
that labor produces every thing,
and that there must be some
thing wrong in the workings of
the law of supply and demand,
when it's results are giving tie
whole supply to a few, and leav-
ing only the demand to the great
majority.
Liebig,the distinguished Ger
man chemist, told the following
story: A manufacturer once
asked him to come and see his
factory; he went, and during his
short stay was stunned by the
noise. Coming out he asked
why does your machinery
makesuch a noise?" "That, tie
manufactures said, sis the secret
ofmy success; without the clash
ing of the knives we use, the
product would not be near as
fine" 80" said Liebig, "you
wear out your machinery to gain
the end you could gain by simr-
ly mixing iron filings with the
stock YOU work up" And SO
it really was.
Such an instance of want Of
foresight, and of common sense,
seems preposterous; and is pre-
posterous. But it is no worse
than our system Of distribution.
the friction of which consumes
nearly one-half, on the average.
of the product in its passage
from the producer to the cor
sumner.

So in imitation of Captain Jack,
we have made defiant stand

lie that the green brick front is
still the place for bargains. We
