THE Fort Worth Gazette says: The
contest thathas divided the legislature
was far from settled by its adjourn
ment. The question of herd law or
free range will be transferred to the
broader field of state politics. The
occurrence of the fact that this is a
presidential year, when national ques-
lions viii enter largely into political
discussions, wiz serve in some degree
to suodue the question to subordi-
nate place; but in local legislative
contests it will enter largely, and viii

three parties who get well paid for direct
ing them how to add or diminish their

cnce to Bantings precepts are ordered for
reducing, and baths of-what do you
think? Baths of cod liver oil and Banting
again arc given for the purpose of adding
to ones weight.
We asked one young lady how it had
affected her, and she said that the smell
of the oil was well nigh insupportable al
first but now she only takes it at night
and then gets into bed and holds strong
ly perfumed handkerchief to her nose till
she goes to sleep. In the morning she
takes u perfumed and very sOapy warm
bath, and that ends it until night again
and she AYERS that she has gained fifteer
pounds in four weeks.

victory on the ground that the republicans
have a popular majority of 800, 900 in the
northern states, he painly exhibits his
willingness to become revolutionist, and
to call upon his partisans in one half the
country to defy the voice of the whole

his majority in one part of the union than
Cleveland would have to vaunt his ma

A MAN living up in Willow creek canyon
was in that town last week for grub, and
told the Walker Lake BulljtjR reporter a
queer yarn. He prefaced his story by say
ing that he always keeps a supply of
whisky on hand as remedy in case of
rattlesnake, scorpion, centipedc, OF tar
antula bites. He has several times of
late been annoyed by coming home from
his work at night and finding the demiioh
lying broken on the floor and the whisky
wasted. Thinking it the result of accid-
ent, he kept sending to town for more
demijohs so often that his merchant began
to suspect him of having taken to hard
drinking, and this was particularly re
GREETED from the fact that he has always
been known as a steady, temperate, and
a hard working man. Last Wednesday,
not feeling very well, he took lay of,
and was laying in bed reading the Bulletin
when, hearing a noise, he looked around
and was astonished to see a rcgulur army
of horned toads, of all ages and sizes,
coming through crack under the door.
Having q curiosity to see what they were
after, he did not disturb them but waited
for developments. The one appearing to
have command of the foraging party went
straight to convenient chair from which
he climbed up the window casing and
thence to the shelf where the whisky was
kept. Finding a new demljohn, he sig>
nailed to his companions, and about a
dozen of the largest went to his assis>
lance. Gradually crowding themselves be
tween the top of the demijohn and the
wall, they managed to tip it from the bot
tom, when it was but an easy matter to
sent it crashing to the floor. Then ensucd
scene indescribable. The whole mob
came tumbling over one another to the
spilled whisky, and eagerly drank what
did not run away through the cracks in
the floor. In about ten minutes there
were in the neighborhood of on hundred
horned toads as drunk as drunk could be
and having more fun then a circus. After
laughing himself well he arose to drive
the topers out. and, looking through the
cracks in the floor, saw another army un-
der the house as drunk from the leakage
as those in the house. He says that, while
he had whole lot of amusement it was
at the expense of both his pocket and reps
utation, and he has put lashing around
the demijohn and stopped up the cracks
in the cabin.

possession of a twenty five pound can of
powder, which they had carried into

In some way which the boys cannot explain
the powder was ignited. 1t exploded Their
clothes caught fire and both were terribly
burned. The screams OF the boys, who were
imprisoned i'll the iron cylinder with the fire,
attracted the attention of persons in the vi
cinity, who rendered all possible assistance.
They summoned the patrol, and the injured
lads were taken to the county hospital.
Searls, who is probably fatally injured, is
a colored boy, living on Morgan street. neal
