TOYS! TOYS!

1T begins to look as though the COM
pulsory education law would be enforced
in at least one district in this county.
The provisions of the law are such that
there can be no doubt concerning the
duties Of parents and school boards in
the matter. An idea seems to prevail
however that the law does not prescribe
any adequate remedy for its violation,
but such is rot the case. 1t is the duty
OF the director to prosecute any parent
or guardian who does not send his child
rem to school at least twelve weeks in
each year. Upon failure of the parent
or guardian to do so it is made the duty
OF the director to prosecute him before
any justice of the peace. The punish
ment prescribed is fine of from five
to ten dollars for the first offence and
from ten to twenty for every subsequent
offense. Any school director who fails
to fulfill his duty in this particular also
makes himself liable to be fined. All
money collected for violation of the
law goes into the school fund, and the
amount of revenue that might be thus
secured were the law enforced would not
be an Insignificant item. If parents who
do not send their children to school are
once given to understand that they may
be required to pay double for the privi-
lege they enjoy. much of the evil will be
done away with.

The last step towards the settlement
of the Lewis estate was taken yesterday
when the farm of 40 acres was sold by
the county judge. Michael Lewis was
quiet, unoffending citizen of Meme,
and led rather secluded life. None of
his relatives lived with him at the time of
his death which took place three or four
years ago. He made will by which
the greater part of his property, including
the farm and considerable money was
left to nephew in in Ireland, The
devisee died before the long contest over
the will was settled, and then the other
heirs urged their claims for share of
the spoils. The sale of Yesterday was
made IN their interest. Old Michael
Lewis left quite snug little fortune
behind him, but goodly share of it will
go into the pockets of lawyers.

THE low price at present paid for farm
produce is beginning to seriously affect
business. Ordinarily, trade is quite
brisk about this time of the year. but
farmers are not anxious about coming to
town, and business is consequently not
as lively as it ought to be.

SANDFoRD's friend Weber will pro-
badly ere long have another law suit on
his hands; so says the Kewaunee Times.
In the forthcoming action he will. how
ever, figure as defendant, and one of the
Kewaunee county maidens will cut a
prominent figure in the prosecution.
Weber is 'smasher' and no mistake.
He ought to set himself up for dude
and travel around with the circus.

THE best way for hotel keepers to
show that they are anxious for the secur-
ity of their guests is by keeping a sharp
lookout for fires. During this cold
weather when stoves are used in all parts
of the house there is all the chance in the
world for fire to break out. It's good
deal easier to avoid big blaze than to
extinguish it after it gets started.

AS might have been expected President
Arthur's Intervention in Behalf of O'Don-
nell was of no avail. The execution was
foregone conclusion and the request of
the United States authorities was made
more as a matter of form than anything
else. No man of sense expected that
the petition would be needed. England
doesn't do business in that way.

A MAN named Tim Donovan, resi-
dent of southern Rockland, was return
ing home fIom st. Nazians lately, when
he was stopped by couple of fellows
disguised. They beat him SO severely
that doubs are entertained of his recovery.
The object was robbery, and the worst
feature of the affair is that circumstances
point strongly to couple of his neigh
bors as the assaulting parties.

CHICAGO has adopted novel way of
disposing of the tramp question. A
wood yard has been established in the
city, and when one of these pests of So
ciety comes around he is given chance
to expend his surplus energy. If there
is anything that seems to be effective in
soaring off the average tramp it's good
big wood pile.

If disease has entered the system the only
way TO drive it out is to purify and enrich the
blood. To this end. as is acknowledged by all
medical men, nothing IS better adapted than
iron The fault hitherto has been that iron
could not be so prepared as to be absolutely
harmless to the teeth. This difficulty has been
overcome by the Brown Chemical Company of

ONE night couple of weeks ago after
sheriff Blbinger had given himself up to
the care OF that ancient god known as
Morpheus, he was aroused by knock
Ing on the door. He got up and found
tramp on the outside who demanded
night lodging on the ground that the
night Was cold and he was penniless. In
vain 1t was that his trampship was re-
minded of the terrors of law that was
recently passed for his especial benefit.
Ii he could get a warm bed for the night
he was willing to run his chances. So
the sympathetic vein in Johns nature
was touched, and the jailor was ordered
to search the fellow and give him bunk.
Fifteen dollars in good greenbacks were
found on his person which was returned
to him in the morning with the exception
OF two dollars which was retained for ois
nights lodging and Bibinger's loss of
sleep. AS the tramp moved slowly off
to betake himself to his lonely way. he
murmured something ABOUT exo~bitant
charges, but he was given to understand
that when he puts up at first class hotel
ne must expect to pan out in proportion.

TIE COWBOYS, DUEL.
How DIR. Davis, OF Philadelphia, Proved
that He is Not Northern Coward.

that He is Not Northern Coward.
Camp Rio Pccos (M ny Dispatch.
Gus Davis, of Philadelphia, came here some
months ago and was engaged as cattle herder
by John Shure, wealthy stock owner.
Davis soon showed himself to be q useful
man, and gained the esteem of his employer
and the envy Of the other berders. In less
than six months he had resisted so many
temptati ons to quarrel with his Mexican as
sociates that he was nicknamed "The North
ern Coward"
One morning about three weeks ago. while
Davis was on duty looking after his cattle,
Jesus Garcia, Mexican. saluted him, as
usual. with "Good morning, Northern Cow
ard"
Human endurance has its limit, and Mr..
Davis thought he had been insulted long
enough. The Mexican was at first surprised
at the stand taken by the Philadelphian, but
word brought on word, until each determined
that the other must die.
The quarrel soon brought all the neighbor-
ing cowboys to the spot. The mode of combat
was speedily arranged.
A chain thirty inches long was securely
locked about their necks. A Mexican dagger,
q two edged knife six inches long, was given
boys then lowered the men into a dog canon,
descent of seventy-five feet. There they
were to remain until one killed the other. A
key to the lock was given to each, and no one
was allowed to interfere further. The rest of
the cowboys then went TO work, as If nothing
unusual had occurred
For some days nothing was known as to
the result of the encounter. Yesterday, how
ever, Davis, very weak and emaciated, re-
turned to the camp, dragging after him the
lifeless body of Jesus Garcia.
The story Mr.. Davis tells is as follows |:
The fight began as soon as we reached the
bottom of the canon. Being locked together
each was always within reach of the others
knife. After such deliberations as the few
moments during our descent permitted de-
cided that unless the first blow were fatal
the chances were decidedly in favor of the
party assailed. 1 accordingly allowed the
Mexican to strike the first blow. He plunged
his knife into my side. AS soon as l found
his arm thus stretched forward l cut the
muscles of his right arm near the shoulder.
Immediately his knife dropped. While he
was stopping to pick up his knife sent my
blade into his body from the back. Before 1
could strike again he had picked up his knife
and cut the cords of my arms, 80 as to render
them both useless.
Here we both stood for few seconds,
when discovered that his heart had been
reached. His body soon fell in the death
struggle to the ground. The chain was so
short that he brought me down with him. In
few minutes he was dead. l was so weak
from loss of blood that lay down by his side.
We lay there for five days and nights, until
hunger drove me to mako last effort. l
climbed the steep incline of the walls of the
canon and reached the camp, carrying Garcia
on my back"
