BISMARCK, OAK, September 1s.-Prairie
fires have ragged in this vicinity with unu-
sual fierceness. At least fifty farmers are
burned out of crops and houses. Losses
range from 500 to $1,000 each. The ag-
gregate loss SO far is over $75, 700. Fires
are still raging, and the wind carries the
flames over the plowed ground to other
fields, so that no one seems safe.

HIS GLORY GONE.
A Few Tears and Much Happiness Over

The Famous Swamp Angel for the City

The famous Swamp Angel, sad eyed
and limp, with the glory of his navy six
departed, has gone west. A revenue Off
Ger went out with him on the same train
and on the same seat. He will fold his
manly form in cage at Little Rock until
the judge decides whether or not he is
guilty of selling whisky without license.
The members of the Blackfish Gaming

fearful, others with their faces beaming
with the hope of chasing the nimble
squirrel and the speckled perch in greater
security, watched his departure. The de-
votion with which that
STURDY BAND OF HUNTERS
has clung to the autocrat of Blacklist, has
about it something positively touching.
Such display of loyalty, amounting al
most to blind affection, has never before
reen seen. In their eyes his fights were
mere pleasantries, his shooting scrapes
eccentricities, and his murders all justifia-
BILE in the eye of man, if not OF God and

keenest sportsman and the truest specimen

the members of the club needed no

when he came over and filled up with
redeye and wanted gore, he was the
prince of humorists, the king of good
fellows. Mitchell was daisy, brick, a
diamond in the rough-anytbing but a
murderous ruffian who ought to have
danced hornpipe on the gallows. And
even now there are some of the members
of the club to whose eyes the memory OF
their hero in the clutches of the law will
always be sufficient to bring tear.

less fantastic and more furious form. He
no longer delights in listening in solitude to
costly operas, or in building palaces where
they can never be used, but he amuses him
self by knocking down his courtiers and
treating his soldiers and attendants with
brutality. Recently the king had an at
tack of toothache, and the leading dentist
was summoned to attend him. The dentist
informed his majesty that the tooth must be
extracted land the operation could not be per:
formed painlessly without the use of chloro-
form. The king declared this was conspir-
acy to kill him, and refused to submit to
the anasthetic, but ordered the dentist TO
proceed. The dentist extracted the tooth,
and, of course, caused some suffering. The
king beloved with pain, and roared out:
"You regicide, you deserve to be torn to
pieces by wild buls!" He then made
rush for the dentist, but the latter fed and
succeeded in escaping from the palace.

GIVING WATER TO INFANTs.-A well
known physician believes, from his practice,
that infants generally, whether brought mp
at the breast or artiicially, are not supplied
with sufficient water, the fluid portion Of
their food being quickly taken up, leaving
the solid too thick to be easily digested. In
warm, dry weather healthy babies will take
water every hour with advantage, and their
frequent fretfulness and rise of temperature
is often directly due to their not having it..
A free supply of water, and restricting the
frequency of nursing, has been found in the
nursery to be most e1ectual check in cases
of incipient fever diminished rate of NOR
tality, and marked reduction in the number
of gastric and intestinal complaints being
attributed to this cause. In teeth cutting
the water softens the gums, and frequently
stops the fretting and restlessness universal
in children at that period.
