The Choice OF a Sire.
National Live Stock Journal.

National Live Stock Journal.
If, on careful and sufficient trial
your bull proves a poor breeder, or
even a very irregular breeder, "why
there's an end O. it," and the only
course open TO a wideawake breeder is
to discard him forthwith, without cere-
mony or regard to pedigree. Don't
hesitate till he has done irreparable
damage to your herd. Actions
of this sort to be worth any,
thing, must be prompt. On the other
hand, don't be too easily influenced by
a few cases of extreme bad produce from
particular cows. 1 doubt if any herd
could be gotten together in Which some
COWS would not breed peculiarly badly
to any given bull; COWS, too, whose pro-
luceb by other sires would be fine. New

a Handsome Woman Who Refuses
10 be ..Shook.O

Yesterday afternoon a petit aud hand
some woman, whose beautiful black eyes
had a way of swapping occasionally in a
significant way, appeared at the Office of
the county clerk and asked if a divorce
had been granted a mar named Joseph
Donovan. The records we're searched,
but no entry of the case was found. The
lady said that possibly the divorce had
been granted at Greeley, and at first did
not understand that no reeord Of the pro-
ceedings ofthe Greeley court were kept
here. During the conversation about the
matter she related the following story:
Her name was Mrs, Donovan. and
Joseph Donovan. her husband, was a
fireman on the Union Pacific. He came
from the east to work for the Union
Pacific and for a time a regular cores
pondence was continued between them.
A short time ago his letters ceased and
hers Icing unanswered she had come in
search Of him. A few days ago she ar
rived here from her eastern home, but
was unable to find her husband. Recently
she met him on the street, but he did not
appear very glad to see her. He greeted
her by saying, Hello! What are you
doing hereg'
Why, | have come here to you, and a
fine hunt | have had to find you, - an
swered the lady.

Levi Parker Has a marrow Escspe OF
the Range.


An old man named Levi Parker ar
rived in the city yesterday from the
northern boundary Of the territory. He
brought fifty coyote skins, thirty-fve
beaver pelis and a number Of other
ihrs. After he had obtained his warrant
for the bounty on the coyote skins he
went to the county hospital. where he
now occupies a private room as a paying
patient.
About Christmas Parker was trapping
on Lance and Lightning creeks, and in
the Cheyenne river country. He started
to move his camp one day and was caught
in a terrible blizzard. The snow fell in
cutting fakes, which actually penetrated
his clothing and cnt his skin. A bitter
wind blew the snow in binding sheets,
and he was unable to reach shelter. The
first night he passed on the bleak prairie.
In the morning he was so numb and weak
he could hardly travel, but he managed To
call his horses, which had been roaming
about his biyonac, and again pushed on.
Eventually he was compelled to.
abandon his wagon, and during the
following two days succeeded in
travelling but fifteen miles, that being the
distance to a ranch just across the south
ern boundary Of Dakota. Daring the last
day he was on the plains he became so
numb that he could not guide his horse,
and 50 he laid down with his head on the
ANNALS neck and travelled with his hands
run throughthe straps Of the bride. By
exerting a little pressure on the side of the
horses head he was able to guide it suhh-
GENTLY to keep a general direction.
Owing TO the condition of the roads
and the abandonment of the stages for
several weeks he was unable to come to
this city for treatment, and hence was
obliged to doctor his frozen hands and
feet with such remedies as could be OBJ
tanned on the ranch.
He wa seen at the hospital yesterday
afternoon by a reporter of THE LEADER.
His hands will recover from the freezing
they received. but his left foot is crippled.
The large toe of that foot is in a bad con-
the bone protrudes and the mem
Der is seriously swollen. A small amph-
tation will doubtless be necessary. The
old man is quite cheerful, and is grateful
he escaped with his life. Owing to
his injuries he was unable TO trap during
the best portion Of the season, and seems
to regret the enforced abandonment of
his traps more than the loss of a portion
Of his foot.

WANTS sIo,oooo DAMAGES.
A.. f. schultz snes the Wyoming stage
Company for That Much.

The Sidney Telegraph says that A. 4.
Schultz, through his attorney, w G.
Reilly, has entered suit in the district
court against the Wyoming Stage com
pany for the sum of $4,000 for the loss
of his feet while in their employ. The
substance of his petition is as follows:
The plaintiff entered the employ of the
Wyoming Stage company and on the
l4th day of Novmber was ordered to 60
onto the line of the company and shoe
horses at stations where required.
That he was unacquainted with the
route, that the stage company provided
him with unsuitable conveyance and failed
to furnish wraps to protect him against
the inclement weather.
Plaintiff says that because of de-
PENDANTS neglect and lack of diligent
care and also by the and false
instructions of one of said company's en-
ployes, he was misled as to the road aud
lost upon the prairies, and not having
sufficient wraps and comforts iorze his
feet and limbs in such a manner that
alnpatssioa at the sssie joints became
necessary to save his life and that the
plaintiff considers himself damaged in the
sum of $4,000.

party that elected him. The party that
elected Mr.. Cleveland is not party OF re-
formers A great part of II is made up of
men who are thoroughly imbued with the
Jacksonian idea that to the victors belong
the spells and have no sympathy with the
new tangled notions of the civil service re-
formers.
Probably these men have not yet succeeded
in getting the President thoroughly under
their control and we may look for more
spurts of reform. But, henceforth, the ten
dency of the administration will, we suspect,
be to drift away from the Mugwumps and
into the hands of the Bourbons. The hope
that Cleveland would give the country an
administration grateful to the reformers
was based entirely upon the expectation
that he would turn out better than his
party. The respondent tone of the Mug
wump press since the revenue appoint
ments indicates that the reformers are be-
ginning to suspect that they Lave builded
their house upon the sand.

Il 10 gradually leaking out that Gen. Mid
dleten'a fight with the half-breeds was a
severe reverse for the Canadian forces.
Gen. Middleton is reported to have retired
from the field and is now said to be waiting
for Riel TO attack him. His force out
numbered the half-breeds three to one, but
the latter was strongly posted and 1t was
found impossible to dislodge them. There is
great apprehension that much more serious
reverse Is in store for Middleton. His
supplies are in danger of being cut off by
bands OF Indians in his rear, and If this
should happen his situation would become
exceedingly critical. It looks now as IL the
Saskatchewan rebellion were destined to de-
velop into very serious affair. The half
breeds are proving much more formidable
foe than was anticipated, and 1t is fast be-
coming evident that Middleton's refusal to
treat With them Is likely to turn out very
costly mistake for the Dominion govern

In her way. With regard to Russia, war
with England would be popular in Russia,
because there is a long quarrel to be settled

Drifting AWAY from Reforrn.

Cleveland has now been President nearly
two months. If In these two months any
notable reforms have been introduced. they
have been kept 80 secret that the people
hare not known anything about them. His
conduct In regard to appointments has been
90 uneven ~ to inspire hope in the Bourbons
that he would eventually develop into one of
them, and In the Mugwumps that he would
finally acknowledge himself to be one of
their kind. His selections for Office have
some of them been 80 conspIcuously good as
30 excite universal commendation, while
others have bsen 80 conspicuously bad as to
sxll forth condemnation almost as universal.
The great majority Of them, however, have
been Of an indifferent kind, not very bad nor
YET very good, while the appointees in many
eases hare been 70 obscure that nobody can
tell how they are destined to turn out.
nisa good many years since an admins
trAtion has bsen judged so leniently as has
President Cleyeland's. The Democrats, as
far - their public utterances go, with few
exceptions, praise il as matter of course,
and though it has turned the cold shoulder
70 them frequently, the hope that the coel-
meas was only temporary and the fear that
harsh criticism might make it permanent,
have restrained them from giving vent to
thar classification ut some of Its acts. The
Independents certainly, as far Its head Ia
concerned, have shown 1t every indulgence.
Every bsd nomination has been excused on
the ground that the President was deceived
In regard TO the facts, while every good one
has been made the occasion of glowing eulo-
gies to the Presidents allegiance to reform
principles. The Republicans even have re-
Trained for the most part from harsh crti-
elan, being ready to give the President .
fair trial and not condemn him for one or
two mistakes.
In spite, however, Of the disposition to
give the President the benefit of every doubt
1t 10 becoming painfully apparent that the
expectations which the reformers based up
On his election were altogether too high.
His back bone 10 not quite as stiff as it was
supposed to be and the constant pressure
upon u has already weakened it considera-
bly,. When he wrote his civil service letter
and his inaugural address he had not felt
the full force Of the Democratic onslaught
and was over confident Of his ability to re-
sistit. 1t has proved stronger than he an
ticipAted, and he has been forced to yield.

he would be found appointing to high Offices
