I'D. GUERRTER, Proprietor.


The Ponca Indians are making
quite a start in farming. They are
breaking and fencing a large amount
Of land for agriculture.
A. II. Johnson, manager of four
of the largest cattle companies in
the world, recently purchased two
large herds in the Panhandle. The
number Of these herds is
about 14,000 head.
Messrs. Wilson & Zimmerman
are fencing IA sections of land on
Black Bear creek, using barbcd wire.
They are working in connection with
Mr.. Schrimsher, q Cherokee, and
will have the largest and best pas
lures in The Territory.
In spite Of the exceedingly mild
winter it is believed by many that
the loss Of stock will be greater than
last winter. This loss may be at
tributed to two causes; the grass is
not SO nutritious as last year, and
there are too many cattle along the
the streams. 1t is evident the time
is not far distant when cattle on the
range must be given some feed dur
ing the Winter.-Cressct.
The Barbour County Stock Grow
ers Association at its last meeting
resolved, That we deem it to be to
the best interest of Barbour county
to commence round-ups ON the 25th
of April also that cows, calves and
feeble stock be cut out from the
round-ups first. The secretary was
ordered to notify all dclinquents
that they Will be dropped if THEN
dues are not paid before the ncXt
regular meeting.-LndcX.

Something AbOnt Whining

There is a class of persons in this
world, by no mean small. whose
prominent popularity is whining.
They whine because they are poor;
or, if rich, because they have no
health to enjoy their riches; they
whine because it is too shiny; they
whine because they have "no luck"
and others prosperity exceed theirs;
they whine because some friends
have died and they are still living;
they whine because they have aches
and pains, and they have aches and
pains because they whine, and they
whine that no n can tell why.
Now we would like to say a word to
these whining persons. First leave
off whining; it is no use, this ever
lasting complaining, fretting, fault
finding and whining. Why, you are
the most deluded set of creatures
that ever lived. Do you know that
it is a we'll settled principle OF physi'
ology and common sense that these
habits are more exhausting to ner-
vous vitality than almost any other
violation of the physiological law :?
And DO you not know that life is
pretty much as you make it and
take it ? You can make it bright
and sunshiny, or you can make it
dark and shadowy. This life is
only meant to discipline us-to fit
us for a higher and purer state of be-
ing. Then leave off whining and
fretting, and go on your way happy
and rejoicing.

The Famous Leaning Tower

Cracks OF a dangerous character,
necesSitatiDg the abandonment of
several houses in the vicinity, have
been discovered in the "leaning
tower of the old church 1T st, Lalr-
bert, at Muenster. in W~estphalia.
The tower is therefore IN I've torn
down, IN spite OF the many historical
associations which render il so dear
to the citizens of Muenster. For the
purpose OF demolition the scaffold-
ing used ut the erection Of the Co
logne spires has been put To sevice.
The wooden cupola has already been
removed. Beneath its shelter have
stood TOR three hundred yeals the
famous iron cages in when were ex.
posed the bodies of John uf Leyden
and his two Anabaptist assuciates,
put to death in 1868. Having pro.
claimed himself king a1d prophet,
aud dispossessed the Bishop of Mu-
enster, John of Leyden was after
wards taken prisoner, carried about
from place to place, and at length
executed in the city. The three
bodies were then enclosed in the
iron cages and hoisted to the top of
the tower, where they have remained
until recently. The cages and other
relics of the time will be exhibited
in Muenster until the new tower,
which is to be built out OF the old
materials, has been constructed. The
fact is not directly stated, but we
are left to infer that they will then
be replaced upon their lofty perch,
to continue what has certainly been
u of the most curious reminiscent
exhibitions of the spirit and man
ners of a former day.

At eight O'Clock that night, as
Berthe Severn poured her husbands

room, Uncle Daniel walked in, large

And by that token Vivian was
convinced that it really was the ST
mon-pure Uncle Daniel; and a mer-
rier trio never sat down at a dinner
table.

Says the Milwaukee San: A wo-
man of Bay City, Michigan, disguis-
ed herself as a man, and clerked in a
store for a year, and then applied for
membership in the Knights of Py-
thias, and was initiated. During
the work of the third degree her sex
was discovered. 1t seems that in
the third degree they have an India
rubber rat and a celluloid snake,
which run by clock-work inside, and
which were very natural indeed. The
idea is to let them run at the candi-
date for initiation to see if he will
finch. When the snake ran at the
girl she kept her nerve all right, but
when the rat tried to run up her
trousers leg she grabbed her imag-
mary skirts in both hands and jump
ed onto a refrigerator that was
standing near, (which is used in the
work of the fourth degree), and
screamed bloody murder. The girl
is a member of the order, however,
and there is no help for it.. This
affair may open the eyes of members
of secret societies, and cause them
to investigate. One lodge here, we
understand takes precaution against
the admission of women by carefully
examining the feet of applicants. If
the feet are cold enough to freeze
ice-cream the candidate is black
balled.

Webster as u Host.

Robert G. Winthrop says: How
could | eve forget those delightful
days which | spent there with him,
forty years ago, more or less! His
matchless form rises to my eye at
this moment as he welcomed the
British minister and myself at his
door on n midsummer morning,
clad in his favorite rustic suit, with
the broad. brimmed white hat over
shadowing that Olympian brow
just as he may be seen in one Of the
most Characteristic of his familiar
portraits. He was "a subject for
Rembrandt on that morning, and
Rembrandt never had a subject more
worthy of his magic brush. | re-
member well how proudly he treated
us to fish of his own catching, to
game of his own shooting, to beef or
mutton of his own raising, and to
vegetables of every sort from his
own gardens, with nothing on his
table from any other source except
the delicious black Hamburgs which
grand old Colonel Perkins, his life
long and devoted friend, had just
sent him from his greenhouse at
B~rookline. But his own presence
and his own conversation were the
choicest Injuries we enjoyed. He
was not always gracious in society,
and at other peoples tables, on cere-
m%onious occasions, he was sometimes
reserved and moody. But he was
the very prince of hosts at his own
board; on that occasion, certainly,
his rich "reminiscences and sparkling
anecdotes
'Outuid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.''

If the following which was writ
ten to the Liverpool Mercury, be
true there is nothing very alarming
in smallpox. Mr.. Hine says: II
am ready to risk my reputation as a
public nan if the worst cast of
smallpox cannot be cured in three
days, simply by the use of cream of
tartar. One ounce of cream of tartar
dissolved in apint of water, drank at
intervals when cold, is a certain,
never-failing remedy. 1t has cured
thousands, never leaves a mark, nor
causes blindness, and avoids tedious
lingering Illness"

In a few years lamps will be un-
known in large cities, which will be
illuminated by electric lights on
poles one hundred and fifty feet
high. There are two such lights
in New York-one on Madison and
one on Union square. Each pole is
TO have six illuminators each. 1t is
expected that the streets will be so
light that it will be as easy to read
as by gas-light in a private room.
The success of the lights in New
York will lead to the setting up of
similar illuminators in every city on
the continent.-Dem0reSt.

DISIN HERITED.

-
"Humph - said Mr.. Daniel Som
erset. Il always thought you was a
fool, Vivian, and now | know it.
The idea-you want to get married,
boy"
Vivian Severn laughed, showing
his handsome teeth-a good humor-
ed, joyous laugh-in no wise affect
ed by his uncle's sharp ungracious-
ness, for he had not been acquainted
with Mr.. Somerset twenty-five years
for nothing.
"Is 1T SO very alarming, Uncle
Daniel ?" he asked promptly.
81 think so. Alarming, yes be-
yond question. Yon are an ex-
travagant young dandy, with not
an idea to your noddle, beyond the
cut of your clothes, or the compost
ton of a button-hole boquet in Feb
ruary, with no judgment greater
than that required to decide the fla
vor of soup at a club dinner. And
you want to get married"
Vivian was used to it and he knew
the irrascible old bachelors bark
was worse than his bite. He leaned
back in his chair and listened to the
p~etulant TRADE.
THAT may be so, Uncle Daniel;
all the same, | think BERTHE and |
will risk it,"
"Bertie who ?n
"Miss Ethelbertha Gray, uncle"
"Why didn't you say so, then 7 a
very beautiful, accomplished girl
after you, because she supposed you
are my heir"
"Uncle Dan"
Vivian Strengthened up in his soft
chair, "a sudden little fire in his blue
eyes"
"Uncle Daniel that is not true"
81 lie, do l? Very well, sir. l
am used to such accusations from
you. Go ahead and make a consum-
mate idiot out of yourself, if you de-
sire, but mark my word, you will
rue the day you ever married BERTHE
Gray. | know the ways of the world
i have been taught its %treachery,
it's policy, its utter want of human
kindness, before you were out of
dresses"
"But with all due respect for your
opinion, uncle, you don't know
BERTHE Gray as l know her. Wait
until"
Mr.. Somerset jumped up from his
chair in a passion.
Don't speak to me abont it. Not
another word, unless you wish to be
disinherited J"
Then Vivian looked angry and
rose from his chair.
II would not hesitate a moment
between your money and the woman
] love. Do as you please; | SHALL"
And after he was gone Mr.. Som
erset walked uneasily up and down
his elegant library, his forehead all
puckered up, his mouth contracted
in a savage point, his bright little
gray eyes swapping and flashing.
"The fool /! Not to see it is his
money-only and solely his property
that had won the girl. l know her.

A Matter of Form.

A cynical member of the fair
sex intimated to me though, one
day, that swimming would never
become popular because Of the
trying effects of the custom on fe-
male beauty. She even went so
far as to hint, in reply to my look
of surprise, hat nature was not so
lavish of her gifts to fair woman
as she seemed to be, and there was
no way to conceal the fact in the
dripping n garment of the Ma
tatOrium. When | vcntufed to
insinuate that they need not care,
as there were no masculine admir-
ers present to be Disseminated, she
smiled scornfully at my innocence,
and said: "They know only too
well that every defect of form and
coloring is carefully noted by some
Jealous rival, to be detailed, with
out loss in the telling, to every
male acquaintance she may chance
to possess. Besides that women
care as much for the admiration of
each other as for that of the oppo-
site sex. Why, one morning at
the Natatorium my attention was
attracted bya lovely creature lean
ing in graceful pose against the
railing, waiting, as | supposed,
for her turn to take a lesson. Hel
costume, of dark blue flannel, cut
square in the corsage, sleeveless.
and barely reaching to her knees
was quite new, and displayed tc
advantage a fair and shapely throat
and bust, and faultless arms. A
coquettish scarlet kerchief was
: wound round her head, from under
which n row of tiny finglets fel
, over her shapely forehead. ShC
certainly looked extremely piquan'
and pretty, and her poses were un
exceptionable. Iobserved, though

to have as great a distaste for tn

Plain Facts Plainly Spoken,

At one time the discussion of the secret vice
was tntire. Y avoided by the profession; ana
medical works of but q few years ago would
hardly mention 1t.
To-day the physician is ola different opin-
ion; he is aware that II his duty-disagree-
able though IL may be-to handle this matter
without gloves. and speak plainly about 1t /;
and Intelligent parents and guardians viii
thank him for doing so.
The results attending this destructive Vice
were formerly not understo d, or not proper
ly estimated; and no Importance beiug at
tached To n subject which by its nature does
not Invite close investigation, 1t was willing
ly Ignored.
The habit is generally contracted by the
young when attending school; older COM
panions, through their example, may be re-
sponsible for 1t, or 1t may be cquired
through accident. The excitement once ex-
perlenced the practice will be repeated again
and aguin, until Ut last the habit be, ofnes
firm, and completely enslavos 1 8 victim.
Mental aud nervous Affections are usually
the primary results o. Belf-abuse. Among the
injurious effects may be meu tIoned assitude,
detection. or Feasibility OF temper, utd gem
rarely joins in the sports OF his companions.
II he be a young man, he Will be little found
in company OF the other sex, and is troubled
with exceeding anu annoying bnshfulness in
their presence. LnsciVious dreams, ennis
sions and eruptions on the face, etc, are also
prominent symptoms.
II the practce is violently persisted in,
more serious disturbances take place. Great
palpitatiuns OF the heart or epileptic convul-
sions, ARE experienced, and the sunerer may
fall into u complete state OF idiocy before,
finally, death relieves hun.
To all those engaged in this dangerous
practice. 1 would say, nrst of all, stop IL at
once make every possible effort to do So;
but II you nall, II your nervous system Is
already too much shattered, aud, conse-
quently, your will powei bros en-. take some
nerve tonic to aid you In your effort. Having
freed yourself from the habit. l would further
counsel you TO go through IL regular course of
treatment, for II is a great mistake to sup
pose that any one may for some ttme-be 1t
ever SO little, give himselfup to this ascIDat-
ing but dangerous excitement without suf-
:ering rom some OF its evil consequences at
some future time. The number OF young
men who are 1ncRpacltnted to NIL the duties
enjolned by wediock IL alarmingly large,
aud in most ofsuCh cases this unfortunnte
condition OF things tan be traced to the prac-
tlce Of self-abuse, which had been abandoned
years before. Indeed, a1ew months practice
OF this habit Is often sufficient TO induce
spermattorh9a in later years, and | have
many such cases at the present day.
