members will hold their annual meeting
at Harper on the 23d inst, and determine
definitely what method they shall adopt in
the management Of their Territory inter.

poratng themselves into stock company
and issuing shares Of stock. Others think
IL would be better to divide the range
among the members, giving to each one the
territory to which he was entitled before
the pool was formed and requiring each
one to fence his own pasture. And there
are others. perhaps the majority, ia favor
Of pooling all expenses and electing man
aging directors and officers. As the latter
plan is undoubtedly the cheapest way to
hold cattle in this country IL will probably
be adopted. As pool this range is enti-
tied to but ono vote In the affairs Of the
Cherokee Strip Live Stock association, but
IL divided each member will be entitled to
membership and a vote.

In conversation with w. w. Standlfofd,
q we'll posed and active stockufan Of this
county. he yesterday stated that In his Opin-
Ion the cattle In Barter county have passed
their Rubicon and from now on until next
winter they will be found improving In
flesh and increasing In numbers. He says
the heel flies have not been as tormenting
this season as usual and except or real
warm s'Inshiny days the cattle have not
been bothered to any great extent. Tie
only trouble now is to keep stock OF Of
the latest burned places, where the grass is
tenderest and contains less nourishment !;
but this may be done by little attention
on the part Of rancilmen, Mr. s. thinks.
This gentleman said that the losses this
season will be unusually light, less perhaps
than any sestson for seven years.

the funeral expenses, and when the
time came for the delivery to be made,
he called for it; but the heirs, who said
they were perfectly willing to pay the
funeral expenses themselves, demurred,
and refused to carry out the agreement.
The aid of the courts was then involved,
and at last accounts was not decided.
In the meantime, the value of the head
for purposes of dissection, if that is
what the physician wanted it for, is
rapidly diminishing, and will soon be
of no value whatever. The English
courts have at various times held that
there could be no property, in the ordi-
nary sense in which the term is used, in
a dead body; and the interesting ques-
ton now comes up whether the owner
ship, such as it is, is vested in the per-
son himself or his representatives.

A man can get into berth and shuck
himself very comfortably. He can
stand ON his knees and duck his head
and take off some of his clothes, and
then he can lie down on his shoulders
or the back of his neck and kick off
other articles of wearing apparel, be-
cause when the buttons are unbuttoned
his clothes are as liable to come off in
the dark as in the light But it is diff
ferent with woman. Her clothes are
pinned on with all kinds of pins, from
the safety pin to the darning needle,
tied on with strings, hooked on with
hooks and eyes, buckled on with buck
les, and put on in many ways only
known to the fair sex. Give her large
enough room, three or four gas lamps,
and a large mirror and plenty of time
and she can find nearly all the pins,
strings, hooks and eyes, buckles, ETC.,
and what she can't find she can break
at night and tie up n the morning; but
plate her in a small berth in the dark.

White bonnets trimmed with white
plumage will form the dressy bonnet

Mohair and alpaca are once more

and pretty model was made of red
and golden brown, crossed with hair
lines of pale blue.
Tucks upon the skirt, trlnic, bodice,
and often upon the sleeves, will be worn
all through the autumn season, with
dresses of silk and light woollen fabrics;
and later on tucks, either narrow or
wide, will be seen in heavy flannel goods,
ladies cloth in flexible qualities, suit
ings, and the like.

capes appear with raised shoulders; not
the slightest puff or elevation is per-

Daughter.
London Correspondence New York Sun.
The princess Victoria is Enthusiastically
the child of her royal mother; she has
her obstinacy, her perseverance, her SUI
preme Indifference to opinion, her i'm
penetrability to advice or persuasion;
she has more than the queen, true and
enlightened love of literature, science,
art. Her views are positive, her judg
ment prompt and unaltered; she is
well-nigh free thinker, but rarely ex-
presses an opinion, and never recinds
it, she visits every studio, assists at all
lectures and conferences, models and
paints herself, and by a singular con-:
tradiction is as competent a housewife
as if she were not a clever woman. She
sees to every detail of her palace
was nearly saying her house-engages
her servants and governesses, routs
them up at six in the morning, has the
lights put out at ten throughout the es-
Enlistment, and sends her youngest
daughter, now twelve years old, to bed
at eight. Through her agency, in all
the public squares and open places of
Berlin, large heaps of white sand are
raised, so that children kept in the city
may indulge in healthful play with
pals and shovels, like their more for
tunate brethren at the seashore. She
fancies that the air of her future capital
gives her headaches, and she loathes
the warmth of the stove-heated rooms;
before excepting an invitation from
foreign ambassador or Prussian noble,
she sends command that all the Win
dows shall be thrown open. Would
not such woman revel for few. brief
days every year in the wind-beaten
solitude of the little rocky island, so
easy of access, so near and yet so far,
so unlike her great empire, and yet
more fully her own than Prussia with
all its extension of territory ever will
be.

ARTICLE NINE.
To The Attention of Hhict G. A. r. Members
as Called.

To The At:cntioH of Hhict G.. A. II. Members
IS Called.
Captain Palmer, department commander Of
the G. A. K. in Nebraska, calls the attention
of members of the order to article TX, chapter
V of the rules and regulations, which forbids
the discussion of partisan quo stions, the use
of the organization for partisan purposes, or
nomination for political offices, and says:
1t is of the utmost Importance to the exist
ence and usefulness of our organization that
the foregoing be kept fresh in the mind and
heart of every comrate. In all political action
the individuality of the veteran must be kept
entirely apart from the comradeShip in the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Letters or interviews printed in the news
papers of the day. discussing the partisan
preferences rproclivitieS of our membership
are reprehensble in the extreme. and OBJ
viously constitute violation of the written
law as noted above.
The Grand Army uniform must not be worn,
or the Grand Army badge displayed at any
political meeting.
Such conduct win be studiously avoided by
all comrades who earnestly desire the perpet-
uity of the Grand Army. And the strong arm
of discipline must reach out after such as will
persist in placing a temporary partisan ad-
vantage above every other consideration.
The objects for which we are banded togeth-
er are by far too sacred to be jeopardized by
any wilful or stupid violation of our well
known policy.
1t is scarcely to be expected that-in mem.
DefSUlp OF o,WJ, ulStflButeu among -SUU pOSIS
in every section of the state-we shall entirely
escape criticism Some "crank'' is likely, in
the heat of excitement, or to gain temporary
partt san advantage, to imperil our very exls-
tence by raShncSs.
Such cases should meet with sharp rebuke,
and prompt action by post court martial.
If there are any men in the United States OF
America who haze earned the right to be en-
tirely Independent on all political subjects it
is the soldiers OF che republic who have fought
its battles and defended its flag against the.
assaults of treason.
1t only remains for us to exercise that dear
ly bought privilege with such rare delicacy,
discretion, and fidelity to the interests of all
our veteran comrades as shall win for us anew
the encomiums of all good citizens.
