for the purpose. Our citizens regret to
lose Mr.. Siebert as business man of the
town.
The druggist Of Wamego, Kansas,
failed to put in an appearance Oh the day
he promised, and now the rumor is that
a Wa-Keeney firm will open a branch
store here. Whoever it be, let them fully
understand that our people would well
come a drug store, but the opinion is
strong against having a saloon locate
among us under that name. Rattle
snakes are not so numerous as to need
liquor within easy purchasing distance,
and other complaints yield readily to
the effects of more reputable drugs.
Fridays stormy hours passed ere sun
set, and pleasant evening was propi.
tlous to the success of the w. r. G. party.
Contrary to the usual practice. only those
holding tickets were allowed to enter the
hall, and, IN consequence, the room which
has so often been occupied by spectators
was left to those who wished to enjoy the
dancing. Supper was served in the
building south of the hotel, room in
which was rented for the occasion. Ow-
ing to this being such busy season of the
year, the attendance was not quite as
large as heretofore, but was pronounced
an enjoyable and well-conducted affair

OUT IN GREELEY.

Greeley county, away out where man
scarcely trod until within the past six
months, has two newspapers. One OF
them is the GREELEY Tribune, published al
Tribune, by Carter Hutchinson; the other
the Echo, at Hector, by Thompson Bros.
late of Plainville, Rocks county. The
World hopes that these far-western pa.
pers will, even in the face of a public
sentiment which seems unrelenting, refuse
to make their papers larger, any time soon
than they are now. The Tribune is 6-col.
umn folio, and we believe the Echo is s.
column folio. Every time paper in a
village is made larger than about one OF
these sizes, it has to be ensmalled or dis
continued. Our friends on the frontier,
as far as they are running big quartos, are,
with possibly an exception or two, making
very costly mistakes.

Shooting at Wallace.

On last Monday occurred shooting at
Wallace that may result quite seriously
for both parties concerned. 1t seems that
tramp, name unknown, had stopped at
the house of J. II. Evarts and asked for
his dinner, viii. h Mrs. Everts gave him
and then asked him to do some work.
Some trouble arose about the amount he
should do, and Mrs. Evarts claims he
struck her. Her husband then appeared
on the scene with shot gun and after
parleying awhile with the tramp, allowed
him to get some distance away and then
discharged the gun at him, filling his
back with shot. Evarts was arrested.
The man he shot lies in very precarious
condition. Rose Of Sharon, ~
County Attorney Nelson, who was at
Wallace on Thursday to prosecute Evarts,
verifes the above narrative, except that
the work was done before the fellow was
given his dinner, and after dinner more
work was demanded, and he refused to
comply. The examination was had be-
fore Justice Altman. Evarts was bound
over to the district court in the sum of
$1,000. He had not given the bond when
Mr.. Nelson started home, but claimed to
be able to do SO.
This Evarts is the John Evarts from
the eastern part of Trego county, whom
the World has had occasion to write
up before-several years ago, in connec-
ton with helping TO make way with a
threshing machine much more recently,
ON the charge of wife-beating He is now
running little business at Wallace per-
haps lunch stand.

A Calf Monstrosity.

Last Monday night, at DR.. Conger's
ranch, in the Saline valley, 2-year-old
heifer gave birth to male calf which
presents no unusual appearance, except
its head. The head is one of the greatest
monstrosities to be imagined as belong
ing to living animal. The mouth ex-
tends backward at each side little fur
Their than the drum of the ear. The ears
present a natural appearance, with the
exception of the backs standing to the
front. When asked concerning it's fore
head, the doctor said it virtually has
none. To quote the doctors words as to
the appearance of the head of this calf, it
consists of ga little bit of crown and two
jaws" The animal is unable to suck, on
account of the upper jaw projecting con-
siderably to the front of the lower one.
1t is being kept vigorous by feeding it
milk from bottle. 1t consumes several
quarts daily, and seems to possess the
qualities of long slayer on earth. The
doctor expects to keep it alive few days,
in order that the neighbors may be per-
mitted to see it. If, however, some mod
ern Barnum shall appear soon, and put in
bid for its purchase, there will be a
sale.

Unhappy Dorsey.

The notorious Stephen w. Dorsey
has written letter to the New York
Tribune condemning the policy and
appointments of Cleveland's admin
istration in the most sweeping terms.
Upon which the Galveston News
comments as follows:
1t will be remembered that's young
Illinois lawyer named Vincent was
appointed chief justice of New Mex
leo in the early days of President
Clevelands administration. 1t will
also be remembered that Chief JUS
tice Vincent appointed MIR. Stephen
w. Dorsey jury commissioner for
one of the judicial districts of the
Territory. A further strain of the
memory will recall the fact that Pres
ident Cleveland summarily removed
Judge Vincent from Office because
of the appointment of Dorsey as a
jury commissioner By putting the
action of the President in the Vim
cent case as a background to Mr..
Dorsey's declarations in the New
York Tribune, there will be no diff
Guilty in discovering the ex,star-
reuters animus. But the removal of
Vincent is not the only grievance Mr..
Dorsey has against the present adj
ministration. Mr.. Dorsey did fat
business in the way of land grabbing
in New Mexico for a number of
years. He raked whole counties into
his net, and had the machinery of a
land-grabbing ring in splendid work
ing condition. Mr.. Cleveland APP
pointed George W. Julian, of Indiana,
encouragement of New Mexico.
This meant that no more frauds would
be tolerated, that the rings should
disband, that the beneficiaries of past
frauds should be made to disgorge.
Is il any wonder that Mr.. Dorsey is
Disguised with Cleveland's territorial
appointments The Republican pa
pers are quoting Mr.. Dorseys lively
opinions OF the administration with a
good deal Of glee. This is not wise
organship. An administration that
Mr Dorsey unbesitatingly condemns
is almost certain to be approved by
the American people. Cleveland Is a
firm. courageous, honest man, and
Dorsey j. a clever, unscruPulOus
rogue. This j. the difference be
tween the two mea.

The Milk m the COcOanut.

Inasmuch as the cause of Judge
Kone's deep dislike Of the FREE
PRESS and its editor may not be gen
orally understood, we will state its
origin. 1t grew out of our continued
and earnest advocacy Of a separate
public school system in San Marcos,
such as now prevails, and his bitter
opposition to the same. This was
our objectionable sin in his estima-
ton; the little matters OF the court
house yard, county printing, etc,
showing mere out-croppings of feel
ing superinduced by the course taken
by us with regard to the school ques-
ton. Now, inasmuch rs our course
was endorsed and his repudiated by
q decided vote of the people; rs the
school has proved quite u success
and is q fixed fact, and conceded to
be one of the greatest, if not the
greatest step of progress in the his
tory of our town; one might naturally
expect a magnanimous opponent of
the system to acknowledge the error
of his ways, concede that we were
right, and again extend the right
hand of friendship. 1t is true he
now claims to be warm friend of
our public school; in fact, from the
demonstrations he now makes
stranger might infer that he had
been the "daddy" of the entire move
ment. But somehow he remains
as bitterly hostile as ever to the FREE
PRESS, if not more so. Doubtless he
would fain have ourpeople forget his
hostility to our present free school
system; but the FREE PRESS cannot,
in justice to the public interest, con-
sent that it shall be forgotten, now
that he is again aspiring to the official
educational leadership of this county,
in which capacity he was so recently
and signally weighed and found want
ing.
