b AND B. CLUB.
The Farmers of Douglass County
Organize and Declare Themselves
Ready 70 Fight


On Sunday last large number d
farmers residing in Douglass county held
q meeting at Rock Ridge and organized
3 club, under the name of the Butler
and Belford Club, No. /, of Douglass
County" The following officers were
elected:
President. C. F. Pratt.
Secretary. G. OFT.
Treasurer. Al. Dopkee.
The attendance was goodlY and great
interest was manifested Thirteen mem
bers of the club were enrolled, and the
indications are thatas many more will
be added at the next meeting. A fund
was started and placed in the hands Of
the treasurer. Some thrilling speeches
were made, and the following resoluti n
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the farmers and labor
ers have been dupes, sdiggers' and dam
#phools about long enough; and that
hereafter we will use our brains, Drawn
and ballots for Butler. Belford and
Busted Machine" .
The meeting adjourned to meet again
on December 16, at the same place.
The secretary has the thanks of The
ENQUIRER for points furnished, and u
sincerely hope the farmers all over the
state will form their clubs and declare
against the political rascality which at
present rules our country. I am salts
fed if the sturdy cultivators Of the soil,
who are robbed by the law protected
gangs of speculators and thieves, will
study the subject carefully, the day is
not far distant when their resolutions
will contain 'bullets" as well as brains,
Drawn and ballots IF necessary.
THE ENQUIRER will be glad to hear Of
the formation of other clubs in the state,
and will gladly aid to its full extent in
spreading the light among them.

Wild Animals In India.

An official paper states that the num-
Der Of wild animals killed in the Mad
ras Presidency during 1882, was 2.O55,
which largely increased the number OF
the previous year, which was only
l.429. The items were composed Of
elephants, 27S tigers, l,oO5 panthers
and leopards, 2l5 bears, "A wolves. 2S9
hyenas, Al not named The wolves
form rather unpleasant feature in the
list, as LILA cattle were killed by them,
and the Government complains that
only "a were got rid Of in 1882, against
% in 1881. They do not, however, at
tack human beings, as leopards and
panthers do, though in Northern India
they sometimes carry of children. FL
ephants are not now allowed 10 be
DESTROYED, except under special circum-
stances. Ono was shot in the district
of Coimbatore which has been for some
time a source of danger to the villagers
and their crops, and reward Of rs.

to be retained rs a trophy. The mum
ber OF persons killed by wild animals
and snakes is still very large

mutton on the record of the previous
year. which was 1902. The number
killed by elephants was &, tigers 20i,

here is little doubt but that the deaths
rom snake-bites are in reality far more

tigers having accounted for 3,27l, leor-
ards for 3,s29, and wolves for Lila. No
less than l76 persons met their death

The OMce Boy.
, tl,a Office boy idle =

Is the Office boy idle?
No; he is not idle: he is frantichlly
industrious; he is killing himself with
hard work.
Will il take him long?
Unfortunately, yes; he is very, very
tough.
What is lie doing now?
Rather ask. what il he not doing? He
has the faculty of Il ing so many useful
things ut the same time, that it is inn
possible to guess what he may not he
at. He is probably at this moment en-
gagged in sweeping out, dusting, tidying
up the several rooms. going on score
of errands, and quietly awaiting oppor-
tunities to make himself useful.
Does the office boy ever make any
unnecessary noise?
oh, dear, no: he never whistles or
plays the devils hornpire on his desk
with his lily white fingers; he was never
known to raise his voice in unseemingly
bellowings. No. my dear sir, You have
been misinformed.
Is the Office boy ever rude or disconr.
teous?
Not bit Of it. He is courtesy itself.
His bumps Of yeneration and reverence
cover his entire head. He looks up to
his employer as a superior being. He
would sooner 60 without his meals for
week than once omit "sir" after yes
or no, or forget to return thanks for
the smallest favor
Then you think the Office boy is not
to be improved?
| Assuredly not. 1t would he like at
tempting to paint the lily or gid refined
gold. No, sir; the Office boy is not to
be improved.
DO you love the Office boy?
consumedlv. Without him life we're
unliyable. The thought of having to
part from him is the only shadow that
darkens our way to the silent tomb.
DO vou know where he is now?
All, You ask me something that no.
body can answer. | only know that he
is not in the Office. He is SO conscien-
| tious, you know. He absents himself,
fearing that he may disturb somebody
or be in somebody's way. But he is
never in the way. Oh, no. John!
say. hello! Where in thunder is that
boy now, l wonder?-B Boston Tran

All storms of magnitude that visit the
United States, except the tropical hur-

Southeastern coasts, have common
origin in or near the Rocky mountains.

journey eastward. gradually developing
