The OK and Asa.


Yesterday in passing down Maine
street we noticed an OK and a mule
harnessed together and drawing the
wagon of some granger. They seemed
TO move along well enough but the
sight was not well pleasing to the eye.
In fact this man was verging pretty
closely to violation of a prohibitary
law which was written centuries ago:
Thou shalt not plow with an OK and
an ass together" II is true that mule
is only half an ass, but we think the law
holds good. God never made a mule
and never authorized anybody else to
make one, yet we are certain that he
would have made law covering the OK
and hflfle if he had known that men
were going to leave the stalwart style
and make half breeds.
Isn't there good many mules and
oxen yoked together in this world. How
often do you see violation of the law
of the eternal fitness Of things in social
domestic and business life? There is
disjointedness about this old world
VIII eh Ia to understand and utterly
impossible to remedy. Do you see that
man and woman going along through
life together? 1t is another case of the
OK and ass yoked together, and blowing
in the fields Of life. They haven't a
single taste, disposition or inclination
in common. Nevertheless, they must
eat at the same table, live in the same
house, and walk in the same pathway
through life. While nature has made
provision for the animal kingdom and
God has made laws, governing the yok-
| ing OF different animals, it seems that
men and women come together haphaz-
ard. Now, when we go on the street it
| is different. Our tastes, likes and dis
likes are consulted when we seek COM
panionship. You will see certain men
standing in groups together. II a dis
cordant element enters the circle for a
moment ne soon feels an invitation TO
pass onward. There may not be word
spoken but there is something i'm the
very atmosphere which says, you are
not one OF us, go on. 1t is the same in
in the association of men and women.
Put one hundred ladies and the same
number of gentlemen in aroom togeth-
er. Let them be total strangers to each
other and in half a day they win be
coupled off in perfect order, not by word
or sign, bat by that subtle force in ma
ture called feeling. But put artificial
restraints around each one, let each
person in the room act the hypocrite,
and the OK and the ass will find them
selves yoked to the same plow. But
enough. 1t is everywhere in politics,
business and social life, we find the
congl0meration of brains and stupidity
marching under the same yoke. Tile
world is out of Joint in spite Of the law
which says, Thou shalt not plow with
the OK and the ass together The
plowin9 is going ON all the same and
| some OF It is very poor plowing and the
seed sown will not make the next
planting any better but rather increase
the Observation-Disclosures Times.

Uncle Henry" Stephens, the popular

quietly married Tuesday evening at the
residence of Mr.. Jesse Evans; leading to
the hymenial alter, Miss Sallie McAllis-

terS, and young lady well known in
San Antonio, Texas, society. They de-

The through cattle season at Dodge
City is now pretty well over. Maj. j. S.
Smith, of Smith & Elliott, came in from
there Wednesday and reports only about
5000 now on the market. They had
just finished disposing of their drive
which comprised about 10000 of north
ern Texas cattle. They sold L. 800 ones
to the London Cattle Ranch and Land
Company for Sl7.5O, 5000 ones to Fine
Ernst, of Deer Trail at S17.OO, and 5000
to Geo. Binkerman, of Denver, at $1,000
and Sl7.W. The remainder, twos and
beeves, they arc driving up to the cor
ner of Wyoming, Dakota and Montana
Territories, where they will be winter

especially was this so on rough and half
fat steers, while good smooth cattle,
well up in flesh, brought fair prices.
But it matters but little how good the
market may be, big run of thin, half
fat and rough shipping stock is almost
sure to make break on that class of
stock, which has been the case with the
market thus far this year. Good prime
beef cattle are always in demand and
bring good price, and since our stock
raisers have found out by experience
that it does not pay to ship cattle thin
in flesh, they are holding back, hoping
to ship fatter cattle and realize what
they are actually worth to them on the
ranges they are held on.-Dodge City

Democrats Wake Uu."


Under this heading "Moss Back" a
correspondent of the st. Marys Express,
enters his protest against a fusion with
Republicans by Democrats looking to-
wards the election of any officer; and
the correspondent thinks he can see
job in the candidacy of Judge Martin
not meeting with Republican opposi-
tion. He says:
6" A law fanatical and tyranical
should not be enforced, simply because
it is law. There are some things above
and beyond the reach of any law that no
legislature or body of men by whatsoev-
er power constituted have any right to
abridge. Among those things is the
right TO eat and drink what they may
wish. Resistance to tyranny is Obe! IL
e1Ice to God" To this encroachment
upon individual right there is no end.
The abolitionists valiently sought to
evade and defeat the fugative slave law.
and to-day point with pride to the ac-
complishment of their purpose by ways
that were dark, and by tricks which
they claim were justifiable. The yoke
of physical bondage which they sought
to break is not to be compared with the
yoke of bondage which fanatics seek to
bind over fifty million of free people. 1t
is not privilege but duty to evade
and defeat any law that abridges our
liberty, and no republican who is oppos
. ed to sumptuary laws can consistently
support professional democrat who
seeks to enforce such laws by stepping
beyond his province as Judge. Let
the issue come. Letparty lines be wip-
ed out. Draw the division with the
prohibitOry law. Let fanatics unite
for its enforcement, and lovers of indi-
vidual liberty unite for its defeat and
cancellation. There should be no mid
die ground continuance makes a thing
great" but the very contempt it is held
in gives to opposition that power and
strength which cannot be resisted. The
prohibitory law is but the beginning of
sumptuary laws-and It's right and JUS
tice once admitted we may expect soon
to see sentinel posted in our chamber,
the thumb screw and the rack staring
us in the face. The churches grasp
ing for political power now father the
illegitimate child of prohibition, al
though many of their members practice
in private what they publicly denounce.
The spirit of fanaticism has sailed in
seas of human blood, and if not check
ed by the cool judgment and wisdom of
the masses win again unfnrl its sails.
To the grand old doctrine of democracy,
Opposition to all sumptuary law is
the republics only hope. Freemen and
lovers of liberty everywhere, now is the
tine to rally. Awake arise, or be for
ever fallen

Presiding Elder Cline, of this district
was a heavy loser by Texas feyers in
Harper county. His ranch Is located
along the route over which the diseased
stock were driven. He lost several
cows and the fine thoroughbred bull he
purchased at the Butler sale here last
June. This is severe loss TO the Elder

The Stranger In London.

That the great city viii ere long be hardly rec
ognizable by its former denizens, all the weird
has heard. The visitor passing up the Thames
now finds his eye grati6ed by the many baud
some edifces recently erected. As he reaches
the famous Victoria Embankmeut, there rises
over him on the right hand the new Times Office,
aud on the left hand the new tower-crowr ed
works of Messrs. JAMES EPPs Il Co., both
phases of Italian architecture. It may be said
that these two buildings are types of the far
reaching business energy of the nineteenth CEN
fury, for it has resulted from such means that
these two establishments have brought them
selves o the fore, and that the annual issue of
each has come to be estimated by millions.
During the last year, the number of copies OF
the Times issued is estimated at 1926, 900,
while the number of packets of EPPs's Cocoa
sent off in the same period is computed at
I4,749,6g5. The latter is large total, when it
is borne in mind that in 1880 the consumption
of cocoa throughout the whole kingdom WAS
but 425. 1872 lbs, there then existing no prepar-
alton OF it such as this ,Iwhich by the simple adj
didon of boiling water would yield palatable
dri1z. Truly time may be said to work many
chan yes.

Saturday for Memphis 4 Charleston, and irregu-

mainder of the list. There was a slight reaction
in the early dealings, after which the market be-
came strong and at II o'clock recorded an adj
vance of A@1A per cent, in which Denver &
Rio Grande, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and Western Union Telegraph
we're most conspicuous. Railroad bonds were
in brisk demand, the January interests and diVi-
dend disbursements leading to large purchases
for investment. Important orders are in the
