NONPAREIL NOTES.

Cattle arc getting sleek on the range this year
Pearlctte will pic mic in the old fashioned way
next Saturday.
II you want the news and can't take paper,
just get woman.
Don't judge mans pety by the threadbare
appearance of the knees of his pants.
sCowland in the hence will be known ~ Raw
emma. She will have mail route from Dodge at
an early day.
+Thc grinding ont Of one hundred new demo
cratic postmasters daily ought t. soon supply the
country with that inevitable article.
The Ashland News tells of ten and a half
foot sI'ake on exhibition there. Must have a bad
quality Of liquor to make such big snakes as that.
ashland seems to be trying to catch up with
the old record of Dodge, and if she keeps on will
soon have to have railway to transport her dead.
Hon. A. Jetmore, assistant attorney general
Of Kansas, was in Dodge City last Monday seeing
the sights. He did not require microscope to see
them, we reckon.
Surely, tho gradually, all our contemporaries
are beginning to adapt themselves to the changes
that are being SO rapidly undertaking farewell
to the leatherbreeched, artillery equipped cowboy
and shaking hands with the horny listed granger
Zone railroad will hardly be capable of transpor-
ting the heavy influx of immigrants during the
next twelve months. The matter is settled; they
are contingencies Edward Russell grows more
recalcitrant.
Some people have very wrong idea Of west

western Kansas and see these scenes repeated.
There are the same sort Of sturdy persevcrng peo-
pie. the same evidences Of yankee extraction and
| education. the same grit that won then and will
win again. Reverses will doubtless come. The
| railroads may have to pass some of these people
back to their old homes once in while until the
trees get started. But Old Prob s will be downed

girls of the far frontier pounding their pianos and
singing, Wait till the clouds ron by
