Chief Justice Taney died in October,
1864, and Mr.. Summer Immediately
urged the President to appoint as his
successor Mr.. Chase, who hqd resigned
the Sccretaryship of the Treasury some
three months before. There was then
much dissatisfaction with. Lincoln's ad-
minisIration, and the friends of Mr..

ton he6 6Ienewed his request that Mr..
Chase le appointed, and had several in
,terviews with Mr., Lincoln on the sub
ject. One day Mr.. Lincoln suggested
that he send for Mr.. Chas3 and frankly
tel linn he wanted to, nominate him as
Chief Justice, and that he (Chase)
would make the greatest and best Chief
Justice the country had ever had, if he
would only give. up the idea of being
elected President. Mr.. Sumner replied
that such statement, however frank it
might be, would never answer, as it
would not only expose bin (Mr. Lin
coln) to criticisms as wanting to pur-
chase an opponent, but it would be of
fensive to MIR. Chase, rs an attempt to
lextort from him a pledge that he would
never be candidate for the Presidency.
MIR. Lincoln, who was quick-witted, saw
the force of Mr.. Summers argument,
and pleasantly said /: We'll, take this
cald and write on it the name of the
man you desireto have appointed. Mr.,
Sumner wrote "Salmen P. Chase, {" and

mated on the 9Th of December, 1864.

tion Of tue appointment, and, having
ariied it from the Senate Chamber,
hastened to congratulate the new Chief
Justice. AS he came out Of the room
in which lie conveyed the news, he met

showing how he had been rewarded for
what he regarded as one of the most
prAiseworthy acts of his life. Beside
Mr., Lincoln was not the only candidate
for the Presidential chair who would
lose rival blythe appointment of Judge
Chase. MIR. Sumner had strong aspira-
tions in that direction, but don't think
that he regarded the bench of the Su-
preme'Court as stepping-stone toward
the While House. Had the Senate
found Mr.. Johnson guilty on the i'm

Typhoid Germs in infected Milk

There was great alarm recently
concerning the milk from some Of the
dairy districts in the State of New
York. Milk-cans had been returned
without washing, and in consequence
there were a number of cases of low
typhoid fever. In each case the fe.
yer attacked the weak and those
whose constitutions were so disor-
dcred as not to be able to resist the
disease. Enrich your blood and

1t will soon be disreputable to drink
whisky in Dodge City, taking the event
of Tuesday into consideration, and
coming events cast their shadows be-
fore" Judge Strang made history on
that day, and if little court business
was transacted, enough food was fur
nished for serious reflection. The court
ruled that man who is engaged in sell
ing liquors, or in any other unlawful
business. is incompetent to act as
juror. This is a virtual Acknowledgement
of large class Of people in Dodge
City, and if the rule was applied to the
country it would make vast army of
incompetents. Little by little prohibi-
ton is taking hold in this city. 1t may
appear Insignificant, but the 5 cent beer
business tends to prohibition. The
disfranchiscment of whisky sellers may
not deprive them of their personal
liberty" but the ruling of Judge Strang
makes the business Of whisky selling
appear disreputable. How long will It
take to make whisky drinking disreput-
table in Dodge City? Not long. At
the current rate Of the progress Of senti-
ment against whisky it will not be long
before whisky selling and drinking in
Dodge City will be conducted in side
traps and back alleys, and thus become
hateful and disreputable.

High Waters.

The streams have been unusually
full this season, in consequence of
heavy rains. Travelling has been imped-
ed slightly, and a great deal Of risk has
been made in crossing the streams, at
tended with narrow escapes and slight
losses. The Mobcetie Panhandle says:
The very heavy and frequent rains
are making of the general round up
anything but season Of holiday sport.
The streams have been generally So
swoolen as to be almost or entirely i'm
pass.ble, the ground is heavy, the
blankets wet and the wedge lily
cooked. The thorough soaking and
working up by Crises Of the bed of
the Canadian have loosened its trcach-
erous sands clear to the bottom, sup
posed to be about at the earth's axle
tree. A great number Of cattle have
been held along the river this week,
Waiting to cross in either direction,
but unable to do 80. One herd, be-
longing to different outfits, crossed in
spite Of blank and high water and lost
$50 head Of calves by drowning. The
days have been hot and enervating and
the nights cold and wet, and all these
things have conspired to make the gen.
eral yound-up unsatisfactory. The
work, however, has shown previous re-
ports of exceptionally light winter los
ses and large calf crop true.

DISQUALIFIED.

In the District Court on Tuesday
Judge Strang made suggestion which
created slight sensation in court and
had considerable effect on the outside
of the court room. The precedent has
been established that persons engaged
in selling liquor are disqualified to sit
as jurymen.
In the empanneling of a jury in the
Bird case, barkeeper was. proposed for
juror-Judge Sterry, counsel for
Bird propounded the following question
to him:
Sterry-What is your business?
Proposed Juror-Barkeeper.
Storytelling liquor?
County Attorney Whitelaw-I OBJ
ject; the counsel has no right to make
the Juror criminate himself.
Court-Tbat is not your affair.
+ County Attorney-But l can suggest
it to him.
Court-You have no right to do
that.
County Attorney-Then the court
should do SO.
Court-That is not my business,
either; and it is not the business of the
county attorney to attempt to shield
violators of the law, but to prosecute
them.

Reube Lake informs us that he has
paid since last September, at wholesale
rates more than $4,000 for lumber,
and that the freights by rail and wagon
have more than equaled the original
price of the lumber, making total
outlay in the last nine months of more
than 100000. Reube and his son
Riley, who is his partner in the lumber
business, have had in use at one time
as high as 100 cars. The bulk of this
lumber has been sold at their Saratoga
lumber yard, and is an indication Of
the rapidity with which that section is
building up.-Mcdicine Lodge Cresset.

meeting last week between General
Manager Robinson, Solicitor McCrary
and the commissioners was satisfactory
in every respect. The new freight

printers, and will be out in few days.
These rates are materially lower than
those now in force. They will, it is
understood, be followed by reduction
on the Union Pacific.

with some strawberries and roses grown
on his magnificent place in the western

and delicious and the roses are nice and
exquisite. The care taken by Mr.. Zim-

is amply repaying him now, and it is
a great source of consolation after
years Of painstaking, toll and expense.

reason that the s'liberal element" kicks.
We should think anybody had right
to buy beer. But in this boosted age
Of chivalry and bull fights you can t
buy cheap beer. We understand the 5
cent beer house is being supplied with
beer from another quarter. The right
to buy beer cannot be abridged, and the
right to sell cheap beer is privilege Of

You will please give to your many

obtained judgment of "a, 500 against
the city for being deprived the privilege
OF defending a saloon-keeper and gam
bier BY saloon-keepers and gamblers of
another faction. Who will pay the
judgment ? the saloon-keepers and gam
blers, or the men who work hard to se
cure homes for their families and build
up the town? will say, if our officials
would have attended in time. Mr. Adams
would have settled for $3.50 instead of
a, 500. Icall the attention of Dodge
City taxpayers to call = meeting to End
out the parties who refused Mr. Adams.
The responsible citizens Of Dodge have
