The State Temperance Union met in To-
peka last week and had a big time. st. John
presided, and number Of very pointed
speeches were made. A resolution with
preamble was offered, the preamble start
ing off with recognition of God, when a
delegate named Mulligan moved to amend
by inserting the word Jesus Christ. Also
he said that he desired to recognize Jesus
Christ as the head of the Temperance move
ment. Gov. st. John opposed the amend
ment, but favored the original preamble
and resolution. The Roman Catholics
were lashed and divided, and finally os-
tracised. Mulligan was the most intemper-
ate speaker, and stated as one of the car
dinal principles of his belief that neither
constitution nor law was binding upon him
where 1t conflcted with his conscience.
This sentiment was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. A set of resolutions were adopt
ed,but owing,to their excessive verbiage can
not be given entire. The first declares that
the state has neither the legal nor moral
right to license the sale Of Intoxicating
spirits. The second declares that prohibi-
ton is right and proper, has been success
ful and must be continued. The third fa-
vors the prosecution of stringent laws
against the seller Of intoxicating spirits.
and of using moral sslasion with the drink
er The fourth opposes resubmission of
the constitutional amendment. The fifth
opposes the calling of Constitutional con.
vention. The sixth resolution is against
the establishment or organization of a new
party. A consolidation was effected OF the
state temperance union with several tenn.
perance state societies under the old name
Of State Temperance union, and life MEM
bership placed at $40, with annual dues at
81. The sum Of Sl.656 was raised on men,
berships. A resolution was adopted pledp-
Ing each other not to support in any manner,
nor vote for any candidate that did not favor
prohibition. A large number Of delegates
were ministers Of the gospel, and the met

That Veterinarian.

In his message Gov. Click has this to saw
OF the importance of the legislature pro-
viding for veterinary surgeon to protect
the stock interests from obstruction:
"The live stock interests of our state are
OF vast Importance, andare becoming more
important and valuable yearly, and in the
near future will constitute the foundation of
more real prosperity and wealth than per-
haps any other interest.
We have all the advantages that render
stock raising profitable, and the interest is
rapidly growing into vast proportions, and
laying the foundation fora solid and endur-
ing prosperity in our state that will place it
In the front rank of meat producing coun-
tres in the world.andwill bring more money
into the state than any other Industry that
can be established within our borders.
Ilearn from the Office of the Secretary of
our State Board of Agriculture, that at the
present time there are in the state l,4O4, 4,4SS
head of meat cattle, valued at S49, l92. .4OS. 90.
swine, ,22s, ,6S3 head,valued at SI2. .2s6, $780,;
sheep, $50, ,767 head and valued at S2,942.3Ol.
Ihls vast number of meakproducing ami
mails is not 1.-THE Of what our state is capa-
Ole OF producing. This interest is capable of
oeihg increased to such vast proportions, and
OF being the foundation of so much wealth
and prosperity that it is important that it
should have whatever legislative encourage
ment and protection that can be given to it,
so that it shall be protected againts destruc-
non by contagious, epizootic or other intec-
tive diseases, that come silently and unex-
pectedly and without warning, and that may
lay waste to the tiocks and herds of the state
and destroy millions of dollars worth of
property, with no power to stay the stream
OF devastation. This vast wealth-producing
factor in our state is not affected, materially.
by floods or drouth, or the capricious contin-
gencies of sun or rsky,a hence is certain in
its reward to him who thus adds wealth to
the state, and furnishes meat for the markets
OF the world. and thus supplies money for
our people when cereal crops fail. Is it not,
therefore, too much for the stockraisers of
the state to ask that an industry of such vast
capabilities, and worth so many millions of
money to the state, should have some pro-
lection against the dangerous and destruc.
tive diseases that may lay waste to so much
valuable property. would, therefore, rec
ommend that.you provide by law for the ap-
pointment Of State Veterinarian in connec-
ton with the State Board of Agriculture
who shall be charged with the duty of look.
Ing after, and aiding the people in protect
ing, elive stock against the contagious dis
eases, warning them of their approach and
directing what remedies to use, and the
proper sanitary methods to adopt as
means Of warding off and protecting the
live stock of the state against the irtroduc.
ton and spreading of dangerous diseases,
precaution rendered more important on
account of the law allowing cattle to roam
unrestrained in the state and thus more
rapidly and effectlally spreading distruc-
tive diseases among them"

In this state is now in favor Of legislating

A Mrs. Stillwell, Of Mount Vernon, o.,
made new years confession on her death
bed. She said that in March lS77,at Mary.
vile, Mo-, she murdered her first husband,
BENZ. swigart, being assisted by her mother
and, brother. Afterwards, assisted by the
same. she killed a stranger for his money.
In May, 1880, at Rulo, Nebraska, she stran.
gled her own daughter, aged fourteen, in
the pre- sence of her mother. She says she
killed her mother, who had been cisfigured
ina railroad accident; killed her father by
cutting his throat and made three attempts
to Kill her husband. The doctors, who arc
generally wrong in such cases, pronounced
the woman of sound mind. This can't be
true, for reliable witnesses now testify that
all of the parties mentioned died natural
deaths. Such an instance of selfaccusation
has perhaps never been known before,

The Pittsburg Stockman tells ola certain
shrewd ranchman who, it says, practices
trick of trade on ranch stock buyers which,
If not original, is certainty not little de.
ceptive. He cuts off good share of the
tail of each calf at an early age, knowing
that the absence Of the caudal appendage
gives any animal when observed from the
rear an unusually plump appearance. When
the buyer who has not struck anything Of
this kind before comes around he is almost
certain to overestimate the weight of the
stock, and is frequently thus entrapped in
to paying more than 1t is worth. 1t Is hard
ly necessary to say that the same victim is
never taken In twice this way.

Blood and Whisky,

On Saturday night Charles Andres and
some friends stepped into the doggery of
Al. Castor, corner of Pearl and Ports
mouth Streets. While there he met Park
Reed, and John Reed, brothers, and an
alteration ensued, with regard to some
old grudge. Finally Park proposed to
whip Charley, or something of that kind,
when Charley seized whisky-bottle and
struck Reed, following up the blow by
giving him severe beating: Al. Castor
so we were informed-and all the other
inmates of the den took to flight. The
place after the fight presented the appear
ance Of slaughter-house, blood and
whisky running everywhere on the floor.
Now, why aDEl these young men al
ways hit the wrong man? The proper
fellow to hit, in doggery, if you must
hit somebody, is the keeper of the den.
If Al. Castor knew that he would be the
"worst hurt" man in every row in his
den, he would not be so ready to make
men drunk and have them fighting about
his rancho. We learn that Reed was
drinking on Saturday night-Andres
was not.
This den of Castor's is disgrace to the
town-a libel upon civilization. Castor
always was able to keep a little lower,
and little nastier doggery, than any other
man who ever tried it. But this den
seems to get away with all the rest.
Boys, don't hit anybody, but if you must
hit somebody, always remember that the
bar-keeper is your worst enemy, and the
one most deserving of being hit.

GEORGE WASHINGTON REED
Did 1t With His Little Revolver

Wash Reed and II. Silvy were brought
to town on Saturday morning, by Officer
Jared Martin, and placed in Jail, on a
charge of highway robbery. The story
of their crime-as we heard it's that
tinware peddler had been at the residence
of Reed--who keeps a low doggery at
Winchester-on Friday, and after selling
some of his wares, started away ON the
road. That Reed and Silvy followed him,
drew their revolvers on him, and COM
PEELED him to give up to them some twen-
ty odd dollars worth of tinware. Reed
has for some time been keeping den in
Winchester which is described by those
who claim to know as one of the lowest
and filthiest imaginable. We have heard
of a brand of whisky they keep out on
the Western plains, one drink of which
caused peddler to steal his own pack,
carry it five miles in the night, and hide
it in the brush. That must be the kind
Wash Reed keeps.
G. W. Reed and Harrison Silvey were
arraigned before Mayor James on Mon
day morning, and waived an examination
and were bound over to Court in tbs sum
of four hundred dollars each.

The Dream of Ynuth.

The dreams we so fondly loved in early
life may just as quickly pass away and
leave nothing but scared and disolate
path behind. The proud hopes which
spring unbidden in the human heart may
die and fall as fell the plague on sinful
man. The monuments of beauty and art
which have been reared by mans crea-
tive genius may crumble and turn dust,
but yet Peruna the great remedy, will
still be acknowledged to be the greatest
of all medicines, and will still receive the
praise which so rightly belongs to it.
Thousands have received benefits from
it, and have shown their appreciation OF
it by their testimonials to that effect.

on their way to Church and Sabbath
School this morning were greeted with a

on the Basquill corner. There were great
