Of the liquor-sellers that the law
will allow, which will be about
$50, 600 per annum more than we now get, not
to mention the increased income from fines, if
the law is better enforced. There was not a
word said about prohibition or temperance, for
these have nothing to do with the questions; it is
simple cold dollars and cents. No man is fool
enough to imagine that gill less Of intoxicants
will be sold If we make them all pay, and make
them pay the 500 instead of $50. That is not
the question. We want the money, and we
want it bad. But we never will got it while
Democrats and Republicans, and Greenbackers,
and Prohibitionists all insist running ticket
on party lines. The liquor sellers are not going
to scatter They never do. The probability is,
they will find an ally in the Democratic organ
ization; but there are hundreds of Democrats
who would like to join their fellow-citizens, of
every shade of politics, in a citizens movement
against the liquor saloons, at least SO much as
to tax them to the full extent of the law. and
this without being Prohibitionists. But if Pro
hibtionists refuse to come into this arrange
ment we can get along without them. think
there are less than dozen-I know only seven
who are so impracticabe, for in the main they
are men of fair common sense. And if the Re-
publicans refuse, at least beat them.
We expect about fifty to seventy five of them
to refuse. ALI the candidates. and they are less
than hundred, will object, but believe we
succeed, even without these. y. L. SEE.

CHICKENS AND PILLS.
A Doctor who Fed Bis Fowls on Physic.

A Doctor Who Fed His Fowls on Physic.
DR.. Jones, who practices IN suburb of
Err e, Pa, has an elaborate machine for
making pills. The Doctors practice is
quite extensive and when he puts the
machine in operation the result is enough
TO scare nervous patient into GONZALES
cence or fits. Not long ago DIR. Jones
made several quarts OF pills and waited
for a bright day to dry them. AS soon as
he got good look at the sun be spread
the pills carefully on the roof of a conve-
nient Outbuilding and drove of to see his
patients. About half an hour after the
DOCTORS buggy had disappeared Mrs.
Jones heard an unusually vociferouS
squawk from the boss rooster of the back
yard, but she had not curiosity enough to
investigate the cause, being confident
that no cOlored brother would invade the
chicken reservation on such bright day.
II she had looked she would have seen the
rooster perched on the roof Of the out
building eating pills as though he were
laying up for seven lean years Of famine.
Attracted by the ROSTERS summons to
the banquet, and his evident enjoyment
thereof, one or two hens flew up to the
top of the shed and proceeded TO devour
the pills. They cackIed and clucked
little after satisfying their appetites, and
more hens came. Then more hens cackled.
Then there were still more hens and less
pills. The increased volume of the cack-
ling INDUCED in by the hen convention
finally attracted Mrs. Jones' attention
again and she went forth TO learn the
cause. She didn't learn it just then, for
the entire cause was concealed within the
hens. Not pill was to be seen. Two or
three hens lay on the ground writing
from the effects of blue mass. the boss
rooster sat grimly in fence corner Ia
boring under dose Of pOdOphyllin. Two
or three gay young pullets had been so
highly benefited that they were fighting
out the disputed title to pill that one of
them had swallowed. Other fowls stag
gered about in daZed sort of fashion, as
II wondering what was the matter with
them.
Two hundred and thirty-seven pills were
found In the craw Of one Of the chickens
which was killed for dinner that day.
Nobody could explain how they got there
till the Doctor came home. He examined
the shed roof and the pills taken from the
slain chickens craw and said one or two
little words. The family dined that day
ON eggs bought at the grocery store.

The partition suit Of Frederick Chou

Chouteau Is included in the decree, there
being no dispute as to whom it should go.
Paul Chouteau had a son Edward, who
some time in the long ago became enam-
Ored Of an Indian maiden of the Usage
tribe. she became his own, his forest
bride, and bore two children, who were
given Christian names, Sophie and Lou
Use. Edward died, but the girls grew up
and married braves OF the Usage race
named respectively MOhshOw-tOe-a-tah,
alias "Grouud" or "World," and Me-pah-
hah, alias Sunrise, and reside now with
these renowned chiettains ON the Usage
reservation in the Indian Territory. Their
legitimacy is asserted in the above action,
and also their right 10 inherit one-fortieth
each OF the property named as collateral
heirs and through their father. A COM
mission issued to Laban Miles, Indian
agent of the United States in the Indian
Territory, to take the dispositions OF the

tribal or family claim they had to the
bride. Proof of these facts the attorney
for the claimants contends will establish
legitimacy under the decisions Of the Su-
preme Court, which has held proof Of Co
hibatioR alone to be sufficient.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-Years ago the
powerful trihe of Navajo Indians were at
war with the United states. After much
blOodshed Kit Carson succeeded in starV-
ing them into submission, by DESTROYING
all of their crops and herds, and by cut
ting down their peach trees. After max
ing treaty Of peace, the government or
dered them moved to the Bosque Redondo.
in the eastern part of the Territory, and
very near the Texas line. Fort Sumner
was the headquarters. The NavajOs we're
very much dissatisfied with this location
and, after much begging to be allowed to
20 back TO their own country, the govern
ment consented to let them go.
Major Ludington was in charge of the
quartermaster stores. In going 1ack 70
their present Navajo reservation he chose
to cross the river at .his place. The water
was high when he arrived here with the
Indians, and to cross with boats he found
that he lacked a certain-siZed hawser.
He could only find one in town that an-
swered his purpose, and that was in toe
hands of 3 certain merchant who still
yes here. This merchant would have
been glad to have sold this rope previous
to this time for 20 cents a pound, but as
soon as he found there was none other in
Town, anu LuaJ IL WIS absolutely neceS-
sary for Major Ludington to have this
one, he put an enormous value on it.
When the Quartermaster learned the sit
uation of affairs, to say that he W. mad
is drawing 1t very mild. He furiously In
vited the owner OF the hawser to visit the
Internal kingdom, and made oath that he
would ruin this town.
An express was Immediately sent to
Santa Fe and q suitable rope was brought
down. OF course several days were CON-
sumed here, but after he had crossed his
Indians and located them on their present
reservation Maj II Ludington went to
Santa Fe and ordered another road laid
out to Fort Wingate. That road goes
over what 10 called the Labajada nill in a
southwest course from Santa Fe, via Pena
Blanca and San YsIdrO and joins the road
running west from this place at Aqua
Azul. The Major then succeeded IN hav-
ins all government trains and the Prescott
mail sent over that road.
1t was a death-blOw to Albuquerque.
From thriving business place 1t was all
most utterly paralyzed, for the govern
ment was about the only means of sup
port for the Territory in those days. Thus
Albuquerque was executed by rope.

It was In the dark days of the war, and
Gov. Curtin, vino had been called to
Washington TO confer with President Lin
coin on the disheartening news from the
front, arrived a. the national capital full
of tOreboding for the future of the Union.
Early in the day he met Col. FOrney In
the drawing-roOm and they sat down by
the windows to discuss the gloomy situa-
ton. While they sat there tue inner door
opened and Thomas Buchanan Reed, the
brilliant but erratic poet painter, pushed
ais way in and staggering across the floor
threw himself into chair by the table.
Without glance at the earnest men by
the window he dropped his head upon
the table and fell into a heavy sleep.
Quietly the war Governor and the gre at
journalist talked on the terrible losses in
the South, the sickness, the disaster and
death among the boys In blue-the heart
rending scenes in the NOrLh when the
news of battle filed every home with
dread, aud the dyihg hope Of ultimate
success in the suppression Of the fratrici-

shadow Of impenetrdble darkness. Sud-
denly, as if by inspiration from heaven,
the sleeping poet raised his head from

penetrate to the far away fields Of the
SouthrOn, said in a voice that quivered
with emotion:
s'Oh, that some bird from the sunny South
Might build it's neat in tine cannon's mouth.
And stop its terrible roarr'
Then like a weight he fell back into
the chair-his head fell forward on his
hands. and the poet was again asleep
insensible.

KIDNAPPERs IN JEFFERSON.
Reported Abduction of = Young Woman
by Men Hired by Doctors.


Annie, the 17-year-old daughter of Hen
ry Eckenberg, a saloon keeper on North
avenue, near Sheridan street, in the town
of Jefferson, says the Chicago NetcS, is
said to have met with q strange expert
ence at the hands of kidnappers Wednes-
day last. The young lady since childhood
has been under treatment for disease
which the physicians have been unable to
classify. Accompanied by younger sis
ter she was on her way home from the
Humboldt pOstoffice, when on reaching
the boulevard, about half mile distant
from her home, two men seized her and,
applying a handkerchief saturated with
chlorOform to her nose, carried her to
two-wheel gig standing near by and drove
off with her. When the girl recovered
consciousness she was sitting in the gig
in front of q saloon near one OF the street
car lines. 1t was pitch dark and she
jumped out of the " hicle, and some time
later was found by policeman wander
ing about the streets and taken to the
West Chicago avenue station. The girl
said her captOrs went into the saloon to
get a drink, but her screams frightened
them so they scrambled into the gig and
FASTENED away. She was traced to the
station house by her father. Mr.. Ecken-
berg declared the men were hired to alb
duct his daughter by physicians who
wanted to study her singular malady.
