A Youthful Parricide.

Edward H. Pro.e, boy bsw,ea IS and
IA years ofa;s, vas brought here from Lar
ned yesterday and confined in the county
Jail. He is charged with attempting to Kill
his father. The boy used knife, cutting
his father on the cheek. in the eye and in
the leg. The WOUNDS are not dangerous.
The boy quarreled with the father at the
breakfast table and while milking COW
Tie youth exhibited a mean spirit after the
mu.derous attempt. He said he had carried
a pistol for three years and when he had an
opportunity to use one he did no. have it,
He said he would never be satisfied until he
killed his father; and he would make The at
tempt after serving sentecce in the peniisn-
tiary for this crime. This youthful depravi-
ty must be mentally deranged. Deputy

Wire Fences.

Wire fences seems to be failure in this
part Of the country. Parties can never tell
how long the inclo,ure will stay up. A rush
of cattle from either side can bring it down
without moments warning, and a. the
cattle are sure TO make rush through the
aperture, if not noticed Immediately. it
takes more horsefesh and rsnchboys to
gather up the strsys than il they were at
large on the range, not counting the cost in
building and keeping fences in repairs. We
think wire fences ought to have . top board
above the upper strand; something the
animals will zee when on run, 70 deisin
them before breaking down the wire, which
nov they cannot notice until too late. Fences,
ss now are costly luxury; many castie and
horsea get disabled and killed and BY the
frequent breakagee occurring are Of no value
to keep stock within the inelesurer. --Red

The city mar.hal gives notice that he will
e1tei inmate all unlicensed dogs. This is
the correct thing to do in view OF the sp-
proach of the dog days. Every dog has his
dsy and the DAYS Of some Dodge dogs are
numbered. This wise precaution agains,
hydrophobia is opportune. But whether
the dog tax is proof against the rabies has
never been determined-the determination
Of useless ours, however, reduces the Prooa-
Bile chances Of the disease. Where there are
now 1l34 dogs, the reducing process by the
city marshal down to 10l, would lessen the
chances in that ratio-or 100 to against
When man has 80 chances in a hundred,
to escape the rsyages OF rabid canine,
he feels comparatively safe. OF course loOO
dogs of the dog population would likely es-
cape The dreaded water madness. But II we
deduct that number from the total number
we readily see how we may escape This
would leave bot 134 dogs. What per cent.
of this number would likely become mad, is
hard to tell. 1t is our knowledge, from q
long and careful observation, that one mad
dog is all that neighborhood can stand.
One mad dog will produce as much commo-
ton ss mad bull and an Indian raid. We
shudder to think OF what two mad dogs
could do. We trust We shall be relieved OF
the catastrophe as we'll as the contemplation
of the horrible disaster tina. follows two
mad dogs. The multiplication of dogs must
be met by the extermination of the useless
CANNES. Nature has provided means OF de-
Tense, and the wisdom of the city fathers l.
shown also. We believe the dog ex,ermina-
ton will be commenced in earnest and car
ried out faithfully, until the la-t unlicensed
dog has been dispatched TO the happy dog
land. Every line of traffic contributes TO the
support of the city government and the IL
quotation OF the city debt. Lawyers, gam
blers and prostitutes are no exceptions. The
licenses and fines from this source is large
the lawyers furnishing only meagre share.
All licenses have been paid excepting the
dog license. We hope no extenuation will
be offered on behalf OF the dog. We hops

AT st. Joseph, Mo. Only a few days
ago wholesale whisky dealer doing
business in Kansas City, Mo-, and who
had heretofore largely depended on the
state of Kansas for his trade, made an
assignment saying that the effect of
prohibition in Kansas had forced him
into bankruptcy. 1t is true that the
valuation of property in this state has
never increased so rapidly us during
the last twelve months. The earnings
of our railroads were never so great.
Against an average sale of Isl acres of
school land per day in 1880 under Ii
cense laws, on an average of 1876 acres
per day were sold under prohibition.
Our population is increasing i'll all por-
tions of the state, except within the
walls of the penitentiary. The people
have paid up their taxes more closely
than for previous years. Kansas was
never more prosperous and the people
are exceedingly well satisfied with
prohibition, and the whisky ring ought

Temperance Sermons.

Seven drunkards recently walked
into our Office and bid us God speed in
our battle with the saloons. There
was not one of them who did not show
the seal of whisky's work. The fea-
lures were sculptured by dissipation
into caricature and sorrow. They were
Temperance sermons in the concrete,
mere wrecks of men, but with manhood
enough left to be conscious that they
were wrecked, and to wish that their
relatives and children might shun the
rocks on which they split. Said one OF
these callers

feel that | can never stop. But from
this very fact | know better than those
who do not drink the danger To young

enough to drink, and is drinking. He

Is, and my vote shall be cast, to close
the saloons before my other boys get
into them and get to drinking, and |
know scores of other drinking men
who are as anxious TO close the saloons
before the little boys reach them. |

Hard TO BE A Christian.

Hard to be Christian, OF course it
is. But, whether you believe it or not,
it is great deal harder not to be one
That is to say, you have a harder time
than if you were one. You have at
least a. many cares and trials as if you
were Christian and as many tempta-
tions. Every sad and trying element
of human life is manifested in your ex-
perience as often and as signally as it
would be if you were one of Christ's
followers: : you thrust yourself inevita-
bly, upon many sharp points of evil
habit which You might i'll that case es-
cape, and you lack what true Chris
however feeble and imperfect his
success as yet may be-always possess
es, the consciousness that his creator
and he are no longer working
at cross purposes, that he is in
harmony with Gods will and plan
for him, that omniscience, OmnipOtence
and infinite love are occupied in
shaping his circumstances so that,
however painful they may he to-day,
they are sure to prove full of blessing
in the end. You may not think this
consciousness a very solid advantage,
but if You had it, in the sense that the
Christian has it, you would COngre-
gatiOnalist.
