4 CATS Lively ExperleAce with
Virginia CITY (Ney, J Enterprises.

Virginia City (Ney, Enterprise.
Charles Kaiser, who has the only hive
of bees in town, says that when he first
got his colony, his old cats curiosity
Was much excited in regard to the do
ings of the little insects, the like of
which she had never seen. At first she
watched their cOmings and gOings at a
distance She then flattened herself
upon the ground and crept along toward
the hive, with tail horizontal and quiv
ering. 1t was clearly evident that she
thought tie bee some new kind of game
rinally she took up a position at the en-
trance of the hive, and when bee came
in or started out, made a dab at it with
her paws. This went on for time
without attracting the attention of the
inhabitants of the hive.
Presently, however, old Tabby struck
and crushed bee on the edge of the
opening to the hive. The smell of the
crushed bee alarmed and enraged the
whole colony. Bees by the score poured
forth and darted into the fur of the as
tonished cat. Tabby rolled herself in
the grass, sp;tting, spluttering, biting,
clawing and sgualling as a cat never
squalled before. She appeared a mere
ball of fur and bees. She was at length
hauled away from the hive with gar
den rake, at cost of several stings to
her rescuer. Even after she had been
taken to distant part of the grounds
the bees stuck to Tabby's fur, and about
once in two minutes she would utter an
unearthly '+yowI" and bounce a full
yard into the air. Two or three days af-
ter the adventure Tabby was caught by
her owner, who took her by the neck
and threw her down near the bee hive.
No sooner did she trikes the ground than
she gave squall, and at single bound
reached the top of the fence, full. six
feet in height. There she clung for a
moment, with a tail as big rolling pin,
when, with another bound and squall,
she was out of sight and did not again
put in an appearance for more than a
week.

COLUMBUS, D. Sept. 30.
There is more activity shown at Dem
ocratic headquarters at present than at
any other time since the beginning of
the campaign. and there is an air of COM
parative cheerfulnesS there,-at least
there is whenever "A Republican enters.
Great and good are the soothing and en-
livening influences of the still hunt
The still hunters are actively at work in
several counties, and are amply provid-
ed with funds from the Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee. 1t is as plain to be
seen as anything in the world that
Thompson and Mckinney, on returning
a few days ago, brought good pile of
money from the East. Its effects were
visible at once. But none of it goes in
Ewing's direction. That money was
obtained by the representation that with
it the General Assembly of Ohio could
be secured to the Democrats. 1t was for
that purpose the money was contribut-
ed, and for that object it is being used.
The moment it was known the two
gentlemen had succeeded in getting
money for the purpose of aiding in secnr-
ing the Legislature, there was joy at
Democratic headquarters. A faint at
tempt at boom was inaugurated. The
effort to get money to help Ewing has
partly failed. The money was given to
gain the Assembly So there could be
no boom for Ewing. His case has been
passed upon by his own friends as fatal
1t is rather awkward, while weeping for
the head of a ticket to boom bOisterous-
ly for another part of it. So the Demo-
cratic boom is not stunning one, for
when an individual Democrat booms, he
is liable to be asked how much he'll bet
even on Ewing's election, and that makes
him uncomfortable. A boom with any
exception, reservation or restriction is
no boom atal
SAFE AND SURE.
There has been no notable change in
the political outlook in this State, as is
claimed by some Democrats. There is
nothing to base such an assertion upon,
unless indeed fresh supply of money
and the Inauguration of the Still Hunt
and Secret Agency business are consider
ed sufficient ground upon which to base
such. a statement. The outlook to-day
is just as asencouraging to the Republicans
as it has ever been, and there is no doubt
of complete and Overwhelming Repub-
iean victory in the coming election.
Such a result can not only be easily
figured out, but it is in the air. 1t is a
Republican year as sure as shooting, and
Republicans await the 14th of October
calm and confident.
But in this case it can hardly be said
that they also serve who only stand and
wait, especially if they are standing and
waiting in a close county where we want
an Assemblyman, and where the Demo
cratic agents are at work with nets and
bags,
