Blew i'm His Wealth.

About two o'clock terday morn
ing officer Prentice picked up ON the
street rather dilapidated half-intoxi-
Gated specimen of the genus biped,
who, on being taken to the cooler,
stated that he belonged to the Mis-
souri, Pacific train gang and had come
down from Pleasant Hill to see a COM
rade who was at the hospital. His
story and appearance tailed, in addi-
ton to which he produced railroad
check for his months salary and about
s2.00 in cash. He gave his name as
Ed. Cushman, and was locked
up until daylight when he was allow
ed to depart. Last evening he was
again taken in very drunk and minus
cash and check. He will have TO an

Under the above heading the Jeffer-
son City Tribune contains the follow
ing:
Capt. George Parkes in command
of the Salvation Army, has struck
camp at Jefferson City for the winter.
The captain has frequently expressed
his desire to camp this winter as near
satan's headquarters as possible, and
likely he thinks that Jefferson City
will be the nearest point to the lin
fernal region" during the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature. -Rocheport
Commercial.
Captain George Parkes aud gang
have concluded not to strike" camp
at Jefferson City, principally Oh &C
count of the efficiency OF the police
force of this city, who will tolerate no
vagrancy. As for the other remarks
about Jefferson City and the legisla-
tue, let somebody Jingle the bell soft
Iy for the "yap" who edits the Com
mercial."
The last "yawp" is about as far off
the mark as the first "ysps." The
facts are that the Salvationists never
pitched" any camp at Jefferson City
consequently they have had none
there to strike" and if they knew as
little about army phrases as the above
would be critics, doubtless they would
have no army or camp any where.
Captain George Parkes did intend to
visit Jefferson City and pitch camp
with view to never striking it until
he had made a christian of the editor
of the Tribune. He was not
however deferred by any fear that
the intelligent and efficient police of
the capital city would be as unable to
distinguish between a christian gen.
tleman and vag as the editor of the
Tribune intimates, but he was deter
red by a serious illness caused by over
work, and is on his way to friends and
change of climate in Wisconsin. 1t
is to be hoped he will recover and yet
be able to persuade even a capital co.

A Blizzard Coming.

A heavy storm, followed by a biz
zard and very cold weather will be
due ON this meridian on December
22nd or 23rd, and will reach the Mis-
sissippi river between St. Louis and
St. Paul within these dates, says Prof.
Foster, the Burlington Hawkeye's
prognosticator. The location of the
cold wave, says he, depends on the To-
cation of the storm, as it cannot 90
much south of the storm center, and
if the storm passes north of Burling-
ton the cold wave will come in after
the storm and will not be severe, but
ii it passes south of Burlington the
cold wave will reach here earlier and
be intense.
The following is the prediction of
the goosebone for the balance of the
winter: after the 18th of Decem-
Der there will be few DAYS of nice
weather. The Christmas holidays
will be attended with cold weather
and snow. January will come in cold
and blustery. About the 10th there
will be a storm followed by extremely
cold weather. 1t will be the coolest
month for years. February will come
in cold, but the weather will soon
moderate and the remainder of the
month be comparatively pleasant"

A Grinding Monopoly.

One of the worst monOpolies that
curses the state of Kansas is the
school book fraud. Year after year,
as the prices of nearly everything de-
cline, and the cost of publishing is
lessened, instead of reduction in the
price school books are actually higher
than during war times. There is q
remedy for this state of affairs and
the legislature of Kansas should apply
it. Heretofore we have always Op-
posed the plan of the state supplying
school books and even now we admit
that there are Objectionable features in
this plan, but we have grewn weary
with waiting for the publishers to do
the fair thing, and We hope now that
the state will 90 into the school book.

Charley is Gagged.

Yesterday Officer Shobe swore out
an information before the prosecuting
attorney charging John Parker,
alias Texas Charlie with felonously
attempting to set FIRE to and Destroy
the city hall building. Texas
was at once taken from the
the calaboose and brought before
Justice Fisher who set his case for .
hearing on next Monday and fixed his
bail at $500 in default of which he was
sent to Jail. The, charge against Parker
is attempt at arson in the first degree,
the minimum penalty for which,.
the statutesfixes at FIVE years in the pen
tertiary. Texas has long made him
self terror and nuisance, growing
from bad to worse, and the police
have come to the conclusion that the
best way to prevent him from taking
the life Of some innocent person Is to
transfer him to the safe keeping of
the state. The attempt at Arson
occurred last Monday night when
Parker, who had been incarcerated
for one of his usual drunken hurrahs,
Invested himself of coat, vest and
shirt and piling them in tn corner
of his cell, started lively blaze.
But for the timely arrival of officers,
who were brought to the scene
by the loud cries of the inmates, the
building would have been destroyed
together with the prisoners and the
city records and books. The prison
was filled with a dense smoke when
the officers rushed in and unlocking
Parker's cell dragged him out though
he fought vigorously to prevent it.
The fire was extinguished and every
thing combustible removed from it.
Parker was then carefully searched :
and replaced in the cell, swearing he
would yet burn the building. Find
ing himself without means to start a
fire, however, he proceeded to break
down the hydrant and tear out the
water pipes and was only checked by
threat to tie him up.

1t Is probable that another CON-
plant will be made shortly by the
Crow Indians, to the effect that they
are minus a number of horses. A
well known stock man who has Just

tells the following: mine Indians
were seen last Thursday morning on
Sand creek in the vicinity Of the H V
ranch. They were afoot and refused
to tell to what tribe they belonged.
When asked what they were doing,
they replied that nineteen more In
dams would join them during that
day, and the combined band would
start out on a horse stealing expedi-
ton. They intend to visit the Crow
reservation first of all and equip them
selves with Crow horses and it may
be presumed that their operations will
not stop at that point" The appear
ance of the nine Indians who were
seen, has aroused the belief that there
may be more truth than poetry In the
intention expressed by them. They
were afoot and without any incum-
brance whatever, with the exception
of what arms and ammunition they
needed,

that no more pleasant and thoroughly
