conscience For his part he was strictly opposed 10
high license, low license, or ang other KIND or
license for the liquor traffic and could not vote for

receive your voten he said, " that Is not pledged
heart and soul for the cause of temperance" lie
warned his hearers not TO trust politicians VINO
all needed 10 be dipped deep i'll the coral caves or
old ocean to get their impurities washed away.
There was no other way to get rid OF intemperance
but 10 vote it down. -
After Mr.. Steele's address, the Rev. W. Ii: Boole
arose and was about to speak, but at this point the
services were interrupted by an intoxicated man
who had 10 be let out. As he staggered toward the
door Mr. Booe said There goes specimen OF

In the days gone by citizen OF De-
troit, who has lately been gathered to
to his fathers, was justice of the
peace for one of the townships Of this
county. One day as he sat In his ioffice
with nothing to DO, friend came along
with O young horse. The squar' was
somewhat eonceited on the horse ques-
ton, and when informed that the equine
before him weuId let no man ride him
he at once determined to accomplish
the feat. X crowd gathered, a saddle
was brought; and his hsror presently
found himself astride of the beast. The
next thing he knew he was lying in the
muddy ditch, and half q dozen men
were laughing to kill.

ed his honor as he struggled up.
At this there was fresh burst of
laughter, and he continued:
"And each and every one Of you is

They laughed harder than ever, but
the fines were recorded and collected, i,
and for years after pit was understood
that court was always in session except
when the squar' was in bed and asleep,

sh-Yssr-old Horses.

An old farmer once said: "What a
year is must have been for colts, seven
years ago this spring." No person who
has never attempted to buy 4 horse can
appreciate the remark, but If he win
let 1t be known that he wants to buy
good horse, he will be struck with the
circumstance that all that are of any
particular account were born seven
years ago. Occasionally there is one
that is six years old, but they are not
plenty. Now, those Of us who lived
around here seven years ago did not
have our attention called to the fact
that the country was flooded with colts.
There were very few twin colts, and it
was seldom that a mother had half
dozen colts following her. Farmers and
stock raisers did not 60 around Worry.
ing about what they were going to do
with so many colts. The papers IL we
recollect right, were not filled with nc
counts of the extraordinary number of
colts born. And yet it must have been
q terrible year for colts, because there
are only six horses in Milwaukee that
are over 81 years old, but one of them
was. found to have been pretty well along
in years when he worked In Barnum's
brick yard in 1853, and finally the owner
owned up that he was mistaken twenty
six years. What a mortality there must
have beeft among horses that would
now have been eight, nine and ten years
old! There are none of them left. And
q year from now, when our present
stock Of horses would naturally be eight
years old, they will all be dead, and a
new lot Of seven-year-old horses will
take their places. It is singular, but It
is true. That Is, 1t Is true unless the
horse dealers lie, and we should be slow
to charge so grave crime upon a use
full and enterprising class of citizens.
No, it cannot be, and yet doesn't 1t
seem peculiar that all the horses in this
broad land are sevon years old this
spring? We leave the subject to the
youth Of the land to ponder over. 1t
bea's us.-G. w. Peck, in Veterinary
Journal.

A Quaker Weddin1.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, says:
Henry p. Brown, first assistant United
States district attorney, and Annie Ger
trude Taylor were married at six o'clock
this evening at the residence of the
brid father, Charles NJ. Taylor, presi-
dent Of the Philadelphia Grand Eleva-
tor company, at 2022 Race street. The
family Of the bride are among the old
est members Of the Society of Friends
in this city, and the marriage was con-
consequently celebrated according to
the Friends ceremony. The bride was
dressed in white silk; but did not wear
a veil or orange blossoms. The groom
was in evening dress. The marriage
procession started from second floor
sitting room and wended its way silent
ly down into the parlor. The five uslt-
ers went first, then the bride and groom,
then the families of the contracting par
ties, and last the guests and a commit
tee the from theRaee street meeting, who
were present to see that everything
was done in proper form. The bride
and groom took chairs, which had been
specially placed for them at the head of
the parlor. After they had been seated
all the company sat down, and for few
minutes there was silence. Then the
bride and groom arose and the groom,
taking the brides hand, declared that
in The presence of the Lord and this as
sembly he took the lady to be his wife,
and promised with divine assistance
to be unto her faithful and loving hus-
band until death should part them. The
bride then responded in kind, and every
body silently sat down again. A Asrelig-
ious silence of three or four minutes
was broken by the voice of Dellwyn
Parrish, the head of the Friends asso-
citation, reading the marriage certificate.
After more silence the groom and bride
signed their names to the paper. Then
all the rest of the company signed their
names. There was a little more silence;
and then the new-made husband and
wife received the good wishes Of their
friends.

Atchison Champion: In many old
houses in the east, perhaps few I'm
Kansas, are old letters, somewhat yel-
lowed by time, destitute of envelopes,
and with big hole in the fold where
the wax seal or wafer went and above
the superscription Is written ''25," and
on the upper corner "single." That
meant when the letter was written that
it Was single letter addressed to one
person, and that the postage within the
limits Of che United states was twenty
FIVE cents. To day letter can be mall
ed in Florida and carried to Alaska for
two cents. Nothing in the wonderful
history Of our country has been more
remarkable than this. In fat, the
country has grown great in the proper
ton that postage has grown less, and
when q letter can be carried from one
end of the country to the other for one
cent, the United States may be consid-
sred 10 have reached the pinacle Of its
greatness. The reduction Is q great
gain to the public, and we do not be-
lieve It will eventually entail any loss
to the Pestoffice Department. The ex-
perience of England has shown that
the hover the postage, the more letters
are written.

rotnla for IN vaars oaLQ &C


In the above period there would be
added to the herd $40 heifers by births
and 1878 cows by purchase, making,
with the original l 900 COWS, a breeding
herd of 1928. At the end of ten years
there would be in the herd, in addition
to the 1928 bearing cows, 1907 year
ling heifers and 2, ,496 heifer calves, ma
king grand total of 16,6l6 females. In
the above estimate the selling price Of
Lila bulls dropped in the seventh year
has been placed at SO; that Of the 1856
born in the eighth year at SIS; that of
,9O7 calves of the ninth year at $40 and
that Of 1896 calves of the tenth year at
S5 each. These are prices which will,
beyond doubt, be obtained even at the
worst stage Of the market in the future.
Practical stockmen will truly say that
the above estimate Is considerably be-
low the results obtained in the business
of cattle growing on the plains. They
would have been safe figures, even for
cattle raising as it was in the early and
recklessly wasteful times of that indus
try"

The above may be considered q very
fair result, and one which would pay
very well for the interest Of the capital
invested in the original 100 cows, and
for the cost of keeping them and their
offspring, even in the states where such
costs will average not less than SOS per
year. But it will be readily seen that
that the results may be materially in
creased by adopting what is called the
cumulative plan, which is being follow
ed by cattle owners on the plains. I'm
der this plan if the bulls born of herd
of 1000 cows and their female offspring
lie sold at three years old at an average
of $50 each on the ranch, deducting So
per head per year for their maintenance
and the net proceeds be invested in
breeding cows at an average cost of $40
each, delivered on the range, the results
for ten years would be as shown in the
subjoined statement, estimating that
the average annual increasewhich would
come to maturity would be equal to go
per cent. of the number of breeding
COWS In the herd. This Is at least %
per cent below figures which it has been
found safe to calculate upon:

took the can TO Cherryvale and had the

position that the money was buried by
the Benders, and Mr.. Murphy proposes
to lay claim to it. The theory Is that
the Benders had buried the treasure and
had forgotten its location, and In the

The Caldwell Journal, speaking Of the

The Caldwell journal, speaking or the
survey of the Cherokee Strip, says:
The report of 8. T. Wood, surveyor
of the eastern division, the survey be-
ing incomplete, showed l,99S,0OO acres.
Mr.. Wood is still at work, but 1t Will
require couple of weeks to finish the
Job so as to bbtaffi the exact number Of
acres in the division.
The middle division surveyed by Tell
w. Walton, showed an area of I ,764, ,446.-
49 acres. The report also shows that
there are @ ranges in this division, run
ming from $500 TO 299, ,526 acres. All
but three ranges are entirely etto1Csod
with barbed wire fencing, and these
three are fenced on each side.
G. III. Burgess had the east half Of the
western division, running west TO the
v range. West of that was under
charge of Fred Eckert, who has not
completed his survey. The district sur
veyed by Mr.. Burgess comprised 1,l0S,-
800 acres.
This makes q total Of 4,7S1 1896. 40
acres surveyed and plated ON the Strip.
When the surveys are Completed on the
extreme eastern and western ends of
the Strip, it is altogether likely the to-
tai acreage will ekoeed 200, 600 acres:
