strange animal that has been seen near
Barrett's station, on the Missouri Paci-
fic Railway, for the past two years, has
at last been killed by f. Blanner. The
animal is supposed to be species of

Sometime ago Prosecuting Attorney
Elliott, of Charleston, lost two volumes
of an encyclopedia. Last week while
in st. Louis he ran across man who
claimed to be able to recover stolen
articles through prayer. Mr.. Elliott
asked him to pray for the recovery of
the encyclopedia Misunderstanding mo
faith in the efficiency of the prayer,
however. What was, then, his sur
prise to run across those identical vol
umes at Dan Linahan's book store, an
hour or two later! The books had been
sold to Linahan by young man form
erly of Charleston, but now of st. Lou
is. He was hunted up, paid Linahan
the sum he had received for the books,
and Mr.. Elliott took them in possession.
On promising to do so no more, the
delinquent was not prosecuted.

extent of saying that in his case it is evident
that the wish was father to the thought"
And we will add further that he need enter
tain no hope that his fears (?l will be realiZ-
ed. We think it not unlikely that some of
the many, who like Bro. Axe, would like to
see the law rendered odious by a court de-
cision prohibiting druggists from furnishing
alcoholic liquors on prescription, will bring
the question before the courts: but honest
druggists will have no more to fear from the
result than dishonest saloouatics will have
TO hope for.

Here is a nut for the free traders to crack.
The Singer Sewing Machine company has one
factory in New Jersey and one in Scotland
both of which ,produce machines involving
the same process and the saUue workman
ship. The factory in Scotland employs a
third more workmen than the one in New
Jersey, but the weekly pay roll of the fac
tory IN New Jersey is more than twice as
much as the pay roll of the one in Scotland.
Let the tariff tinker go among his constitu-
ents and use these facts to show them how
American workingmen are being ground
down by the horrid tariff.-Tdrif Baron
Exchange.
To begin with. the sewing machine
business is not protected" and the
foregoing, il it proves anything. shows
that higher wages do not depend upon
the tariff, but are Independent of it.
This settles that part of the question,
but we embrace this opportunity of
showing our readers how the war-tariff
people, through halftruth, spread error
through the land. Take the books of
the Scotland and American "plants"
and you will find that, although the
former employs the greater number of
operators, the latter turns out the
greater number of machines, and, bas-

Reynolds county has been "dry,"
nominally, for number of years, the
court refusing to grant dramshop Ii
censes. The condition of things over
there, however, seems to settle it that
"prohibition does not prohibit" any
thing save common decency in the
liquor traffic. List unto the Outlook:
We are unwanting forced, in defense of
our own peace and quiet, and for civilized
society sake, and in disapproval of drunken
ness and riot, to protest against the manner
in which Sunday is spent in Centreville.
For the past few Sundays Centrevile has
been the scene of brutal drunkenness. 1t
has become about as natural to expect
drunkenness, quarreling, &C., en- Sunday as
it is to expect the arrival of this day. lady
who would feel herself insulted at profanity
and rioaldry, dare not emerge from her door.
Shameful. shameful! 1t seems to us that
some people live for no other purpose than
to show how degraded and corrupt human
beings can become. And no one dare say
anything about this lawlessness in other than
open approval of it for fear of being assault
ed. Have we no laws to protect us? have
we no laws TO punish the Sabbath breaker,
otherwise law breakers?

Said Mr.. w. l.. Harper, of Bertrand,
to the Charleston Democrat the other
day: "Four years ago I got four seed
from the Ironton REGISTERS big
pumpkin. If you remember, it was a
160 pound gray pumpkin, as large as
salt barrel, and the editor Of the REG
lister gave all the subscribers who
asked for them, four of the seed to
plant. planted mine but only two of
the seed made vines, and they bore
very little fruit. I am convinced that
they were seed from male pumpkin.
Male pumpkin? Did you never hear
of sex in pumpkins before? Well, it's
a fact, there is. I can go in field of
pumpkins and pick out the male and
female every time. Just notice the
flower end of the vegetable. The male
pumpkin is perfectly round and smooth
on this end, while the female is more
or less indented, the indentation being
from a quarter of an inch to an inch In
depth. The female will always be
found to have the plumpest of seed and
more of them than the male. L have
proved it many time.
