them being held back for use as curren-

A Niagara Falls man, speaking of
Capt. Wehb's foolish attempt to swim
the rapids says: 1.-The moment Capt.
Webb reached those rapids he was as
helpless as he would have been if
mounted on cask of dynamite har-
messed tandem to couple of thunder
bolts" He says it would be a much
more practical scheme to swim the cat
arect itself, for in three instances dogs
have been thrown into the rapids above
the falls from the bridge to Goat Island
and, after going over the precipice, have
reached the shore below uninjured. But
no living thing ever passed through the
rapids alive. Large oak and pine logs
fifty feet in length, from RATS broken
up by storms on Lake Erie and drifted
over the falls, are tossed and twirled
through them like straws, and on reach
ing the Whirlpool are drawn down end
wise, submerged for eight or ten min
utes. then elected in the same way
above the surface, to which they fall
again and resume the monotonous round
of the great eddy.

But small proportion of them are tax

oath that they will abandon the brother

most of them find themselves thrown
out of employment altogether. They
complain bitterly that the Knights of

are satisfied are forced to strike by NAL

their stock, such as horses, cattle and
sheep are dying in large numbers, be-
cause all of the water holes and most
of the streams are dry, and nearly all
OF the grass dry or burned up. The
number of stock which have already
died is very large, and serious fears are
entertained that greater number will

rails in season TO prevent such a catas-
trophe. They also state that the rain
to benefit the grass and crops which
have also been greatly impaired, will
have to come soon. Rain will operate
as injury rather than benefit if it falls
copiously after the weather gets very
cool, but from present Indications cool
weather is not likely to occur for some
time. They also state that the intense
heat seems to affect the animals in a
very serious manner. They pronounce
this summer to have been the hottest
and dryesr experienced iu many seas

Police Judge Burns was ar e ted and
brought yesterday, before Justice Cook.
on complaint sworn out by Luke Short.
in which he is charged with misconduct
In office and the collection or illegal
fees. Judge Burns has incurred the en-
nifty of those who unfortunately come
under his official jurisdiction. He has
spared no one, having inflicted heavy
fines upon every one brought before him
for violation of the law. There is a
clique in this city that feel the legal
halter drawing tighter and tighter, with
an ultimate lightning of grasp never to
be loosened. The law is coming down
upon the indecent conduct and illegiti-
mate traffic, and the handwriting is SO
plain that some means may be used to
thwart the swift and impending justice.
The arrest of Judge Burns will not ac-
complish the purpose desired. On the
contrary, law-breakers will feel the tull
power of justice. Threats of assassina-
ton will not deter the administration
of the law.-Dodge City Times.

Wabash, The Rsc,ng Calf.
IPhilndalnhia TiTnna,l

Wabash, the 2ye8r-old calico calf
that is credited with mile racing rec
ord of 900, was brought to Philadel-
phia on Monday by his owner, Colonel
Charles o. Burns Of Evansville. Ind.
Wabash has won seven races of the
reel this summer and was only beaten
once. On that occasion he fell down.
At Bedford park on Wednesday last, he
easily beat j. c. Mason's blk. g., The
Major, mile i'm 2:20. After the race
Col. Burns declined to accept an offer
of 81 500 for his feet footed bovine.
The calf is nearly thirteen and a half
hands high, his legs are like those of a
giraffe and his horns are tipped with
nickel-plated knobs. Colonel Burns
bought the calf when yearling from
an Indiana farmer, who was driving the
split hoof trotter to sulkey and beat
ing all ordinary roadsters with ease.
The calf is of plebian blood and was
bred, raised and trained by the farmer.
Col. Burns intends exhibiting the speedy
beast on all the trotting tracks of the
country. Hitched to halss wagon
Wabash trotted to Belmont park yes
terday afternoon, and was sent around
the track several times at three-min-
ute gait. The calf's wind and limbs
are perfectly sound, and his owner says
he has driven him forty miles day
without making him turn a hair. Al
though Wabash trots fast and steadily
in harness, he is much speedier when
running under saddle. To show the
calf's speed he was saddled and mount
ed by a l15 poundJockey yesterday ,Eand
Mr.. Horizons b. m. Glarinda, with a
record of 2:24, was started against him.
Clarinda went away in the lead when
the word go was given, but Reilly,
the jockey on the ealf, quickly clapped
spurs into its sides, and with below
that was heard mile off, Wabash
hoisted his tail like a jackstaff and set
sail after the trotter. The crowd oil
horsemen present at once saw that Wa
bash had a mixed but fast gait that is
peculiar to himself. When on the back
stretch his legs seemed to sprangle out
ON all sides at once, and he bowed his
back like bucking broncho and blew a
cloud of steam out of his nostrils. Col
oael Burns Proudly waved his hand to
ward him, and said to the crowd in the
quarter stretch: Now you all watch
chat critter hump himself" If "hump
ingn meant believing until the astound-
ed Clarinda bolted across the track and
stood trembling against the outside
rails, Wabash certainly did what the
Colonel expected. Wabash came along
like locomotive, passed the bewilder-
ed mare and was looping into the home
stretch before timerous Clarinda's driv-
er could induce her to trot. Wabash
won by an eigth of mile and was cheer
ed by every spectator except Mr.. Hor-
ton, who rathmically said to the driver:
'Well don't it beat -.' The calf
will race at Poibt Breeze or Suffolk
park on Saturday.

On last Friday, Squire Baker, in show
ing us over his place called our atten-
tiOn to wire feifce of his that certain
ly ought to be patented, on account of
its cheapness and efficiency. For the
benefit of some of our readers who NAV
wish to build a cheap fence for few
head of stock, we will describe it. Mr..
Baker takes small posts abaut two feet
long and drives them into the ground
about half their length the usual dis
tance apart letting the posts incline a
few degrees towards the inside of the
pasture. The posts are pointed or
rounded at the top and single smooth
wire stretched along and fastened to
the top of the posts and the fence is
complete. To each head of stock is fas-
tened piece of rope eight or ten feet
long and to the rope is fastened short
chain and a square block of wood in
such manner that the stock attempt
ing TO pass over the wire will be stopped
by the block. In such case the animal
may swing back into the pasture and be
clear of the fence. Mr. Baker has in a
60 acre pasture of this kind, Is head OF
cattle and several head of horses. AS
20 the cost of building, he says: The
posts for thirty acres cost M 81, 0 and
the wire and staples about six cents a
rod, making the tOlal cost about sever
cents per rod.-Pratt County Press.

1t appears that the belief held by
many 10 the effect that nothing will kill
mule is erroneous. w. A. Tyner. of
kingman county, Kas., recently lost
one OF his mules and made an examina-
ton to discover, If possible, the cause
of its death, as all remedies administer
ed were of no avail. The stomach was
cut open and found to be full of sand
burrs, matted solidly together. There
is no doubt, says the Kingman Citizen,
that the burrs were the cause of his
death. Mr.. Tyner thinks this is the eff
feet of feeding millet hay, where sand
burrs grow up and are cut and stacked
with it. We make a note of this, as
many farmers feed millet, and where it
is mixed with sand burrs, precaution
should be taken in feeding stock. Kan
