The Horse Was Sold

A man was driving across the country
in Dakota when he came to a house
with a man hobbling around the yard
on a crutch. A ~ine-looking horse was
tied to a post neal by and the traveller
stopped and said:
''Is that horse for sale2n
"Well, now, l tell you just how tits

my wife drives and 1 don't know as
she'd want ter part with it. It's a very

"What Is it worth2"

ADenocratIc Caucus.

A caucus of the Democratic Congress
men was held in Washington on Thurs
day night, at which nearly all the
mem bers were present. Nothing was
said directly about the tariff or the PEN
sion.tax proposition. A committee of
three WAS chosen which should be
charged with the duty of selecting and
pushing to the point of action such of
the measures as it should deem proper
to attempt to pass" and Messrs. Car
Isle, Morrison and Randall were named
as the committee. The sentiment of the
caucus seemed to be in favor of passing
the appropriation bills and the bills de.
claring forfeitures of land grants and
then adjourning. Soon after the selec-
tion of the committee Mr.. Randall rose
and asked what the action of the caucus
meant, whether 1t meant adjournment
by the 10th of July. There was a
hearty chorus of " Yes, Yes" from all
sides. Mr.. Randall assumed that the
action meant also that the appropria-
ton bills and few bills already on
the calendar would be the only mea-
sures likely to receive action at this les
sion, and TO this assumption there was
again expressed hearty assent.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Gen

Mai! Service to-day Issued q special
notice, by order of the Postmaster
General, discharging from the service
twenty. nine clerks for insubordination
in conspiring to obstruct the regulation
of the service by the department and to
ipjure its efficiency. The notice says:
"rhey have secretly attempted to form
an association with view to dictate
action to the department, and many of
them have also been guilty of decep'
tion towards their fellow-clerks by
representing the purposes of such asso-
citation to be merely benevolent and
thus entangling them"
The Postmaster General, in an inter-
view this afternoon said: "Several
weeks ago information was received by
the department that few postal clerks,
who were appearantly conscious that

The Denton Union says some five
weeks ago Clarence Hazel OF Dover,
Del, traded mare and colt to S g.
Boyer OF MaTydel, for a fine driving
horse. Ia few days Mr.. Boyer came
back to have the trade nullitied. To
this arrangement Mr.. Hazel put in eeri
ous objections, claiming that he bad
not misrepresented the mare in the
trade, and that he was perfectly salts,
fed with his bargain as he had secu1l
just what he had long wanted, a first
class driver. Thus matters st0od until
Monday night Of last week.
On Tuesday morning following Mr..
Hazel found to his great surprise that
some one during the night had taken
his horse from the stable and carried it
off. He began to send kilograms and
before noon he had word that the horse
was at Mr.. Boyer's that morning. Mr..
Hazel then came to Denton with his
attorney, Jas. Penniwell, Esq, to take
steps to recover the horse. Messra.
Jump Il Todd's services were also EN-
ployed and the horse was duly replevied
and again placed in the custody of Mr..
Hazel. The case will be tried al the
October term. Mr.. Geo. ID. Russum is

Won Have a perfect Right,

when you demand a Benson's Capcine
Plaster of druggist, to expect TO re-
ceive one. Yet there are, we regret to
say, few druggists Of the Cheap John
variety who will try to persuade you to
accept some worthless substitute with a
similar sounding name, which they
will offer you for half the price of the
genuine, as they can well afford to do,
It's real value being nothing, and its
cost bus little more. Benson's are the
only porous plasters that can be de-
pended upon to cure every ailment sub
iect to external treatment. They are
prompt, sure and thorough. The genuine
bears the "Three Seals" trad denmark, and
has the word "Capcine" cut in the
centre.
