Henry n. Copp, the land lawyer Of

1t is an indispensable book for all who
are, or expect to be, interested in pub

purchasing it. and all who expect to
take up land should get posted on the
several laws under which land can be
entered. A chapter, illustrated with
numerous cuts, shows how to tell town.

instructions under the homestead, tim

The price of this book is only p cents.
1t will tell you who is entitled to en-

grounds they can be commenced; also
about State lands. stone and timber

The N. f.. Church.

The Methodist Church in this city
will be dedicated by Bishop w. x.
Mind, December the 9Th, 1884.
Rev. T. C. Miller, the Presiding Ell.
der of the district and Rev. N. S. Buck.
ner, the former Presiding Elder, will
be present to assist the Bishop. Also,
quite a number of the ministerial breth-
ern are expected to be present.
The trustees have ordered a fine
heating apparatus for their church,
which it is expected will be put into its
place before the time arrives.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
the preaching ability of Bishop Mind,
and as this will be the first time that
Dodge City has ever been visited by a
Bishop of the NJ. E. Church, we hope
that our people will avail themselves of
this opportunity to hear Bishop Mind.

Cigarette Smoking.

In view of the discovery that Prof.
Greenwood has made, that most of the
small boys in the public schools are
smoking cigarettes to relieve the tooth
ache, or under some plea or other, the
city council ought to pass an ordinance,
similar to the one under consideration in
St. Louis, prohibiting the sale of tobac-
co in any form, and especially cigarettes,
to any person, male or female, under 81
years of age.
We have taken occasion before to
speak about the prevalent habit of ci-
garette smoking among the youth Of
the land, and point out its pernicious
and injurious effects. Persisted in,
cigarette smoking dulls the intellect,
attacks the nerves and destroys the Vi
tally. The cigarette is the worst form
in which tobacco may be nsed; snufing,
chewing and cigar smoking, or the use
of the pipe combined by any one per-
son will not prove as deleterious and in
furious as the strict adherence to puff
ing cigarettes.
Cigarettes are made of the refuse of
tobacco, all mcrchantable tobacco, when
they are the best, but owing to their
cheapness the demand for them is 80
great that the manufacturers resort to
other means than the use of tobacco
stems. or the leavings of plug tobacco
and cigars to supply them. The refuse
of tobacco after it is used in its first
merchantable shape, is largely used in
getting them up for the boys to smoke.
Old cigar stumps, old guilds of tobacco
that have been discharged from leprous
mouths, perhaps, and been saturated on
the streets by rain and that have been
mixed with garbage and sun-dried, are
gathered in, and made up into cigarettes
Even this source of supply is inadequate
to the demand, and paper clippings,
stepped in nicotine, the poisonous prin-
ciples of tobacco, form the greater part
of many of the cigarettes sold to the
youth of the country.
The paper wrapping of the cigarette,
too, is injurious, as in smoking it mixes
a volatile oil with the nicotine which
makes the latter poison more active for
injury, more powerful as an agent to
sap and undermine health.
1t is boys who most affect the cigar
cite, because it is cheap and within
their reach; but as it is made it is power
full enough to prove injurious to the
stcadied and matured nerves and vitali-
ty of man, let alone the delicate,
forming and growing physique of the
boy.
Nothing should be left undone to
keep cigarettes, and tobacco, for the
matter of that, in all forms, from the
rising generation of boys. Parents are
much much concerned in doing this, and
with watchful care can do it.
Of the boys whom Prof. Greenwood
inquired, the majority said their par
ents did not know of the habit they had
contracted, while not a few reported
that their mothers helped them to con-
ceal the vicious habit from their fathers.
What does mother mean by such con-
duct, encouraging her son to engage in
a pernicious habit and practice decep-
ton, and are parents mindful Of their
duties, imposed by parentage when they
do not look after their children and
keep them from sucking themselves
into imbecility while sucking at the
end of a cigarette?-K. G. Journal.

"SLEEPING LOVE-"

A fine steel engraving of Perault' s
charming picture. "Sleeping Love-,
has been offered by the publishers of
GoDEY's LADY's Book to every new
subscriber to the magazine for the year
1885. The plate is very artistic one,
beautifully printed on thick paper Of a
size suitable for handsome framing.
The subject, a little dimpled Love,
adorned with nothing but his baby
charms, is lying on soft grassy couch,
fast asleep among the wild flowers, his
round white limbs approaching the
cool umbrage of pond Of water-lillies.
One little chubby hand rests lightly on
his unstrung bow, which is lying under
him, while the other hand is softly
pressed upon his cheek, the plump fin
gers threading the wavy masses of his
floating hair. Under the right arm and
shoulder one little downy wing is snug
ly tucked away, while the other peeps
up from the back with pretty sugges-
tlveness. Overhead are dropping, shad-
owy boughs covered with rich foliage,
and the background reveals deep per-
spective of cool forest shade. The pic
ture is one of striking simplicity, yet
admirable composition, and the figure
of the Sleeping Love- himself, with
dropping eyelids and softly parted lips
that offset.the rounded beauty of baby
hood, is one of the prettiest you could
we'll conceive of. Messrs. J. H. Hau-
lenback & Co., proprietors of Godeys
Lady Book, have produced this charm
ing picture most successfully. 1t is
much admired by some Of the most
fastidious connoisseurs.

The Democratic Jubilee.

It is not often that the Democrats
have the privilege of ratifying politi-
cal victory, except in local election
and the occasion which Saturday last
offered seems to have been taken by the
Dodge City democrats with wonderful
alacrity. The manager of the party Of
frauds in New Yerk-or Seven Mule
Barnum, his other name-telegraphed
to the Democrats of the country that
they must celebrate the election Of
Cleveland by the firing Of 100 guns
This edict the Dodge democrats prompt
ly proceeded to carry out. Early in
the evening large lot of barrels and
boxes had been obtained honestly and
steathily from the back yards of the
stores, and piled on the square south Of
the railroad track. In the meantime a
brass band had been improvised and a
procession organized. The band was
seated in wagon, and this wagon was
followed by about twenty five men and
boys, some Of whom carried transpar.
encies bearing unintelligible hierogly.
phics and meaningless notices. This
caravan, for such as it was, marched
up and down Main street, the light Of
street lamps and the store and saloon
lights throwing out shadow so as to
completely cover the marching Demo.
Gratis, and thus preventing their recog-
milton fully by those on the sidewalk
and witnessing the molly caravan.
But in the CLEAN could be observed on
the countenances of the unterri6ed
Democrats the smile and grin that be.
tOkened the humor of the march. They
were not earnestly ratifying anything
except to create an enthusiasm over the
frauds committed in New York. To
describe the procession would require a
feat of righteousness that We do not
possess. And that procession was real
ly indescribablc. 1t did not move of
Of two blocks on Main street, and kept
within easy reach of the saloons. The
pain that it requires to be Democrat,
and to do the hurrahing when there is
only fraud and not victory in sight,
must be a contemplation horrifying.
The modest make up of that procession
wearing smiles as they marched down
the street and up again was truly laugh
able. Under the tap of the drum the
procession marched to the bonfire
where speeches were made by Col. Jones
and Col. Hardesty. The speeches of
both men were largely complimentary,
Mr.. Jones interpolating his remarks
with an ''if," leaving the contingency
open for the returns to be counted for
Blaine.
We must not fail to state that the
band played the delightful airs "Bonnie
Blue Flay" and "Dovn in Dixie.
Such an occasion must be spiced with
the essence of the victory. Ten men
out of the dozen who marched in that
procession under such music and with
such notices, would have been asham-
ed to do so in daylight in the eyes of
the public.
