and several miles the shortest, between
Omaha and Chicago. Within the past two
years the road bed has been put in admira-
BILE condition, and almost the entire line has

BlanketinR Horses,

1t is not unusual for over kind and very
careful people, in very cold weather to put
on heavy blanket under the harness OF
their horses when about to drive to town or
to church. This practice, although intended
Is a humane one, is by no means to be rec
commended. While the horse is performing
his work, there is no danger that he will
suffer from the severest cold, or that his nat
ural clothing will not be enough. Indeed,
unless his work is very slow, perspiration
will be excited, and the moisture thus aris-
ing would be retained BY the blanket, in
stead of being Immediately dissipated into
the air. The consequence is that the mo-
ment we stop, our horse stands in the cold
winds, with a wet blanket over his whole
body, the effect of the evaporation of the
water being to make him much colder than
he would be if the blanket were then taken
of. The true plan is, in cold weather, new
er to blanket horse while he is taking his
exercise and never allow him to stand a
moment without blanketing with q dry
blanket when his exercise has ceased. So
true is this that the most careful and expe-
rienoed owners and drivers of fine horses
find it advantageous to remove even the
heavy coating OF hair that nature supplies
for the winter season, 80 that there may be
no accumulation of moisture about the
skin in consequence of heating work; and
to supply its place, at all times, when the
animal is at rest, by ample clothing.

GOLD {!
1t is Found at Salina in Large
Quantities,
On the Pavement, in the Street
and in the Fields.

The little city Of Salina has been greatly
agitated since Friday morning on account
of the discovery of gold in the town and
vicinity. Some miners digging there
found pieces of ore, and sending it to J. \.
Sanders, OF Gold Run, Colorado, it was
found to yield, after being assized, $50 OF
gold, per coin value, and 1915 silver, per
ton. As consequence the town has been
somewhat excited since the discovery, and
its citizens already begin to hope
that good times are about TO dawn upon
them at last. 1t is said that the pavements
contain ore in which can be found gold.
Everybody.is beginning to feel that he has a
gold mine in his lot, and it is TO be expect
ed that real estate will run up to the mos,
fabulous prices. Since the discover I'M
mense numbers OF adventures have fiocked
there, and the city is overrun.
We were shown to specimens Of the ore,
by Mr.. J. W. Bowman, and it most certain
iy looks like the genuine article. Mean
while, We await further developments, but
sincerely hope that the golden dream OF
Salina may turn out to be glad reality.

THE IRISH PATRIOT.
A Short Sketch Of Troubled Bat Free Life.
John Mitchell is dead.

A shor: Sketch of Troubled Bat Free Life.
John Mitchell is dead.
The telegraph announces the death of
John Mitchell, the Irish patriot Tins is
solved the vexed question OF his admission
to the British parliament. With the close
OF his earthly career will cease much OF. the
bitter luminosity and personal vituperation
that followed him through life. He was
born in Tipperary, and from early life was
distinguished for bitter opposition to Eng
lish domination. An advocate and cham
pion OF home rule, he joined that political
faction in 1913, and, As was alleged, partic-
ipated in the riots that ensued.
The chief causes of this outlawery
was seditious publications. On this charge
he was arraigned, tried, convicted and
transported to Van Dieman's Land. Esca-
ping from thence to the United States, after
mond, Virginia, and resumed his connec-
tion with the press" This he pursued
until within the last year, when he return
ed TO Ireland to stand for a seat in parlia-
ment. His subsequent career is familiar to
the country
John Mitchell was a man OF finished edu-
cation, cultivated manners, and admirably
adapted by nature and intelligence for
political leader. He was an enthusiastic
lover Of his country, a sincere patriot and
an honest man. The dose of his long and
troubled career will give relief to the heart
that yearned for freedom and suffered in its
cause. His long pilgrimage is over-the
is cooled at last. He died and will be bur
led in the land he loved so well. Its green
sod never covered holder and manlier
heart.

WITNESSES IN THE poMERoY CASE.

The Ieavenworth TINES, and We believe
several other papers, excuse the belittled
gentleman who misrepresented the State in
the settlement Of this case by condoning ar
Infamous crime, with man, because they
and their friends feared him, on the ground
that the witnesses, York, Benz. F. Simpson
and Others, would not attend the trial and
testify. Ii the making of such an excuse
was not an outrage upon truth and law, il
would be too contemplate to speak about
There is not one word of truth in it.-Paolo
Republican.
Mr.. York did sign a paper, as did many
Others OF those who were supposed to be
strong witnesses against Pomeroy. Mr.
York is understood TO have demanded and
receive part Of the $1,000 in payment for
his services. Three other prominent indi-
viduals, it is reported, received their share
of the spoils. Better not stir the thing any
more.-Learenuorth Times.
If the TINES knows anything further
about this affair We advise it to speak
right out in meeting. The advice: "better
not stir this thing any more" comes with a
bad grace from public newspaper whose
business is to stir things.-Iaoia Spirit.
Now, Bro. Anthony, if anybody made
money out Of that 81 1000, or had their ex-
penses paid out of it, it was a very mean
contemplate business, and if your insinua-
ton is true, give the names and we will ex-
pose them. We will extenuate no mans
meanness because he may be our political
friend. Let us have the whole truth, Bro.
Anthony.-Rdo'a Republicans.
Our information is that E. S. Slower,
John Francis, A. NJ. York, and Jas F. Leg
ate, received part OF the s7,OOO-Sl 800 paid
for costs, and $1,000 paid for attorney fees.

The portly President of the State Nation

private Office in the direction of the front
door. Arriving at the counter, he was con-
fronted by stalwart son of Africa's sunny

DEPARTED LCCRE.
A Californian is Dragged in q
BagniO
And Relieved Of Two Hundred
Dollars in Gold.

About a week age, a wealthy old Califor
nian, named Isaac Price, came 10 this city
intending to proceed to Coffeyvilie, Kansas
, to visit some relatives. Arriving here, the
seductive Influences of the metropoli,
proved too much for him, and he tarrieG
day after day, loath to quit the pleasure,
and delights into which he had entered
Being somewhat old-fashioned, and trust
ing neither to banks nor pocket-books, he
had taken all the money he had with
him, consisting OF $500 in $50 gold pieces
and sewed il into the bosom of his shirt max.
ing a veritable breast-plate of the preciou.
metal. For his immediate uses he had
some loose change, which was carried in
his pocket. Deeming his treasure safe
while SO near his person, he plunged reck-
lessly in every dissipation, visiting the
saloons, concert halls, and various places OF
prostitution, spending cash freely, and
without thought. But at last his fire.
quent libations made him unwary, and in
an evil moment he wandered, Monday
night, to the colored bagnio on the levee
kept by Henry Thomas. Here, overcome
by the bright eyes and amorous glances OF
the sable sirens of the place, he drank
heavily of bad wine and worse whisky, I'M
til his tongue became loosened and he di-
vulged the hiding place of his money.
His doom was then sealed the liquor was
drugged, and he soon sank into deep,
drunxen insensibility. From that time he
knew no more until about two O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, when he awoke, and
thinking it time to end his spree
and depart, he babe goodbye to his
dusky companions, and was kindly assisted
on board the outgoing L. L. 4 G. train for
Cofeyville. 1t was not until he was we'll
under way on his journey, that he discov-
cred that he had been robbed. The front of
his shirt had been cut open and all the
gold except the two $50 pieces had been ia
ken. He had no recourse suspicion point
ed to no particular one, and he had too
much pride TO make it known TO the police,
and secure their services. He will 90 back
to his California home, a sadder, and let us
hope, wiser man.

On Sunday, March 18th, large congre-
cation Of Roman Catholics, assembled at
Stranger Church, Leavenworth comfy, Kan

The Reason.

The reason for the unprecedented de-
mand for DR. Prices Cream Baking Powder

as represented, Of superior strength and
uniform quality, coupled with the equally
potential Tact, that they contain not one
grain OF unwholesome substances. Having
thoroughly tested them ourselves We have
no hesitancy>in saying that they will ac-
compiish just what is claimed for them,
and one single trial will readily convince
any person a. to the truth of our assertion.

Push on ths rops.

The Lsayenw9rth TINES advises the
farmers to go to work this spring as if they
had never seen = grasshopper or a chinch
bug. This advice is applicable to farmers
everywhere, for there never was a time
when there were greater incentives for exer-
ton. The West is drained of grain and
stock, and must be replenished within the
next six months with everything in the line
of produce, and those who work with q
hearty will this season will find themselves
lifted over the barren places into the high
way Of prosperity. Let the farmers work
early and late, plant all they can cultivate
we'll, and set about replenishing their yards
with stock, and this time let Il be a he
better clan, md their hard times are about
