Yesterday afternoon, Captain Francis

of DR.. Jameson in the afternoon in good
spirits and apparently in good health, and
rode in a carriage with Dr. Jameson to
this city, intending to meet with the FRI
DAY CLUB, to which he had an invitation,
in the evening. When Captain Dickens
and DR.. Jameson came to Moline, they
called on Mr.. Samuel Kennedy, of the
Republican, and he invited them to his
residence, for supper, with the intention
of after partaking of it. to go to the club
meeting. The table was set, the guests

A land office at Lamar is fixed
fact. All that is required to put it
into operation is the appointment and
qualification of the register and re-
ceiver. As these are original ap-
pointments, no doubt they will be
promptly made. We would have
preferred that Lamar should have
remained in the Pueblo land district
but those who had the matter in
charge really had accomplished their
purpose before the public had an in
timation of what was going on. The
establishment of the new office is ev-
idence that the tide of agricultural
immigration that is following the
line of the Santa Fe road has reached
and crossed the eastern border of
our state and is pushing steadily up
the Arkansas. The promptitude and
certainty with which the men who
have located Lamar secured the es-
tablishment of land office ere, is
pretty good evidence that they un-
derstand themselves and will make
the town and country around it boom,
as they have made Garden City and
other points in Kansas boom. After
they get through their present Job
it might be well to get them to try
their hand on Pueblo. If they should
succeed in making it boom the meas
ure of their fame would be full

The election law of Kansas pro-
vldes that the judges shall permit

room during the counting OF the

number of announcements we find
in some of our exchanges we think
this would be difficult matter un-
less they counted the vote in skat-

the law does not apply to candidates

HORSE NOTES.

Horses We're made for use and not
for abuse.
Hot weather is hard on over-work-
ed horses.
Heavy horses are not calculated
for fast driving.
Oats is the best grain food for
horses in hot weather.
The stable door should be locked
before the horse is stolen.
When horses are frightened it is
not the time to whip or heat them.
The annoyance of flies is often
harder on horses than the work they
do.
The value of good horse is never
realized until he is dead or parted
with.
Time spent in looking after the
comforts of the work horses, is time
well spent.
In well regulated stables there is
n place for everything and every
thing in its place.
Horses which are compelled to do
hard work are entitled to the best
treatment possible.
Spinal meningitis, it is alleged,
has killed quite number of horses
recently in'New York.
The blacksmith that will rasp the
shell of the hoof off to make it look
neat should never be allowed to shoe
a horse.-Dodge City Globe Live
