EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers embraces twelve thousand members. It could make great deal of trouble, but thus far it's power has been exercised very wisely.
 The St. Louis papers now making fun of the Chicago drug stores. They say that half the people who go to them for prescrip- tions die before they get them and the other half die after they get them.
 contributor to the Science Gossip throws some light upon very important problem how to avoid being annoyed by the early cackling of the neighbors' fowls. He says that it is a well known fact that one is troubled by his own fowls; it is always by some ones else. Now, let the people in the adjoining houses own the birds jointly. Then they will hear nobody's but their own and forthwith the annoyance will cease. This is truly an ingenious way out of the difficulty. The English government has lately made an expensive mistake by using postage stamps all of one color, which confuse and. delay the employees of business firms, as well as the postofice clerks, who have to bear the cost of an incidental mistake in delivery. The new system has proved anything but the measure of economy it was designed to be. Russian stamps are said to be models for postofics business, as they are attractive, l difficult to counterfeit and easily identified. They have combination of two colors, one 1 in the field and the other in the oval escutcheon. Light blue upon gray, green l upon red, and yellow upon blue are the prin- cipal tints.

the state. He says:

wisely. At the beginning Of my
term we were borrowing $250,000 a
year and paying 10 per cent interest
payable annually. The payment OF
over $1,000 by the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad helped us out

OF borrowing $250,000 year at 10

that Is the last we will borrow. The
old plan has passed away, and we
have arrived at a period in our his

The temperance mass meeting
which met in the. Presbyterian

duced by Rev. A. P. Melton was
adopted:
Whereas, the "Three mile law
has resulted in the exterpation Of
the whisky traffic in our town, and
has almost entirely suppressed the
habit of drinking in our midst, and
made it disreputable; Therefore be it
resolved, by the citizens Of Russell
vile, in mass meeting assembled;
l. That we will heartily support
and use our influence to rigedly en-
force the same.
2. That our experience and obser
walton has convinced us that the
law is q success wherever enforced
and will ever pray for it to remain
upon the statute Of our state.

Esq. Bergman moved that VIC

hibition society at once, which pre-
vailed, and on motion next Monday

Senator Plumb has presented pc
tition to congress to open up the Ok.
lahomo district to settlers. This il
right and should be done at once,
This Oklahoma country is one OF the
best strips Of land in the west, and
the very idea Of the government
holding it up from settlers for the
benefit of Indians is simply ridicu-
lous. Better give the lands into the
hands Of its own people and let the
red man take his own way as he will
do anyhow, and to tame him is the
merest bosh and an impossibility.
