Mr.. NJ. v. b. Bennett is ut present in
structing the rural New Workers I'm the
matter of prohibition i'm Kansas. In Lock.
port recently he uttered tho. following
beautiful sentiment: II feel that my bows
are safe. If any saloon keeper inyeigles
them into his place shall not appeal to
the law, butt shall settle the account with
the saloon keeper myself, leaving his ad-
ministrator to settle with me-" During
the period of MIR. Benefits visit, it is nee,y-
less to remark, the Lockport saloon keep
ers shut up shop. But New Workers must
not think that all the residents of Southern
Kansas are like Mr. Bcnneft. Not unfre-
quently both the old man (not Mr.. Benncttl
and the boys refuse to settle the account
for financial reasons, and occasionally the
boys, more particularly the cowboys, an
ticipate the old mans fondest relaxation.
But there Is no rule to apply to liquor
drinking in Kansas. Both drinking and
the manner of settlement are matters of in
dividual taste.

THE NORTHERN RANGES.
A Little Reliable Information from tke; caid
Range Country

Letters from Miles City, Bozennn and
intervening points in the Montana cattle
country, give more positive information
than has been obtainable heretofore about
the losses and condition of stock. At
Bozeman, Nelson Story and Myers Broth
ers, large cattle riisers in the Upper Yell
lowstone valley, say they have had a win
ter most favorable to the fostering OF their
industry. They estimate that the losses
for the territory will not be 5 per cent,
counting the loss from the too early calv4
ing of young heifers, the principal cause
or losses on the ranges from year to year.
The season SO far has been the most favor.
able for years. There have been twenty
four days of opea spring weather, and the
grass has sprung up two or three inches on
sunny slopes and we'll protected wales. The
young sprigs of grass have come up in
tufts Of cured bunch grass and the cattle
experience the transitionlfrom old to young
feed by easy stages, and thrive much better
by reason of this happy provision of. ma
lture. AT Miles City equally favorable re-
ports were gwen by Joseph leighton and
Judge Stowell, large stock raisers on the
Yellowstone. Mr. Leighton said Mr.. New.
man, of st. Louis, drove in $4,000 head of
cattle late last October. His herders re-
port now that his loss will not be ohe-half
of one per cent. Judge Stowell had about
l,S0O head on the ranges and reports that
he has not lost an animal. Guthrie & Ming
disclaim any loss whatever OH 1000 head.
Scott & Hank put in pratically the dis
Chalmers as to their own vast herds of 90
600 head. Carpenter Brothers drove in
from Oregon and Nebraska last year about
4,7OO head, and report no loss. Thompson
Hubbard, of Mankato, Minn., drove i'm from
Minnesota $500 head. These came in quite
late. and were driven up to the Wyoming
line on the headwaters of the Rosebud.
They have lost fifteen or twenty per cent.
This loss was Occasioned by the deep snow
fall in that region. n had 10000 head OH
the Missouri, 40 miles below Buford, ut the
mouth of the. Yellowstone" said Mr.. Eeigh-

of October until now, and there the only
wonder is that they didn't all die. / shall

Phil Sheridan is credited with saying
that "The dead Indian is the only good In
dian,' and the recent colJ-blooded and un.
provoked murder of Judge McComas and
wife brings the red scoundrels again into
notice, and the most condhgn punishment
should be visited upon them. No Apache
has ever been known to be possessed Of
any civility, decency or regard for the

grass is starting finely, and the cattle are
said to be generally in good condition.
Prices are high and there is no better busi-

THE most remarkable thing connected
with the Wallace Mckinley contest, is
the fact that the frauds and irregulari-
ties complained Of by Mckinley are
found in strong Republican precincts.
There is no complaint In the Democratic
townships of Wayne, franklin, Knox
and Salem. No frauds are alleged
against any Democratic judges. The
entire trouble seems to lie with the Re-
publieans themselves. Mckinley alleges
that In Butler township his votes were
suppressed. Butler township is the
Gibralter Of Republicanism, and why
Mckinley should be wrOnged, either in
fact or imagination, is hard to under
stand. 1t Is conceded that the Republi-
can judges in that township were strong
Mckinley men, so that he is charging
fraud on his own men. The same thing
Is true in Fairfield township. Two of
the Judges and the two clerks there we're
strong friends OF Mckinley, and now he
charges them with making fraudulent
return, and gets old General Holloway
to swear down the official record of his
friends from memorandum which he
made the night Of election, although he
was not present until the count had
gone ON for nearly an hour. Such con-
duet shows desperation. Mckinley is a
dead cock In the pit, and old Holloway
has made both a fool and knave of
himself.-Ohio Patriot.
