fixed intently on that distant horizon,

Whence hath this man this wisdom?
Is not this the carpenter, the son of
Mary? And bis sisters, are they not
all with us? Flippant questions, asked
with skeptical superciliousness by the
scornful Pharisees of old, often asked

| Now that it is thought to be Of so
great advantage to have hornless cat
tie, the following suggestion from a
scientist will be of interest. We wish
some Of our stock men would try the
very simple plan and report to the
REGISTER. The scientist says: "a
single application of caustic potash
prevents the growth of the horn.
Caustic potash is simply the pure
potash. Get nickel stick at the drug
store and keep it in bottle go that it

it to be horned or hornless. If you
have no use for horns (the calf itself
will never have any good use for
horns) then take your stick of caustic
potash, wrapped up in paper, in one
hand take the calf between your knees
and wet the hair over the horn epots,
rub the end of the potash well on these
spots and he will grow up polled

In its report of the anniversary ex-
ercises of the literary societies of Lane
University, the Lawrence Tribune
says: "The Athenian society was
represented by f, c. Jacoby who
made prominently original and
scholarly effort on the subject Of
Evolution of Liberty"
While all the productions were excel
lent and well rendered, it is our opin-
ion that Mr.. Jacoby deserves credit
for the best originality and scholar
ship" Mr.. Jacoby is brother of our
POI ,ular district clerk, and is very
bright and promising young man.
The prohibitory amendment was de.
feated in Pennsylvania on Tuesday by
a majority of nearly 100000. 1t must
be admitted that this is staggering
blow to prohibition. Nobody expected
the amendment to carry; but its defeat
by so tremendous majority was even
more unexpected. And following the
defeat of similar measure ia Tennes-
see, Texas, Michigan, New Hampshire
and Mass achusetts, all within two
years, it is uudeniably discouraging to
those who are anxious to see the tri-
umph of the principle of prohibition.
1t certainly makes it plain that il is
worse than useless to talk about Ma
tional prohibition at this time.
Mr.. Geo. Mclaughlin shipped hogs
from here to Kansas City last Satur-
day, and while in the city Monday
evening in attempting to step from a
cable car. he was thrown to the
ground, striking his face on the rail,
infiicting serious wound. He was
picked up in an unconscious condition,
and taken to the hospital where he re-
vived and his wounds were dressed,
and he was able to come home Tues
day. He is now suffering considerable
pain from his injuries with which he
will no doubt be laid up for some time.

The knights of Pythias observed
their first Memorial Day last Sunday,
in honor Of the Pythian dead. The
Lodge met at their hall at four o'clock
aad marched to the cemetery where
they strewed flowers over the grave of
the late J. G. Boulson, the only men,
Der of tho order whose remains are in
TERED here. The ceremonies were
very simple consisting only of "a brief
address by Chas. F. Scott, the decora-
ton of the grave. the salute to the
dead and the singing of the good night
ode.
Our old friend Rambo, now of the
Chetopa Democrat, has had abig run
of luck lately. A short time ago he
drew a crazy quilt In lottery. His
wife took it to another town and sold
forty-nine chances on il at 81 90 a
chance. She sold the fiftieth ticket to
her husband, and, strange to relate, he
Won it back again. 1t really looks as if
it sometimes pays for an editor to
have wife.
A communication received last week
too late for publication, states that an
attempt was made one night recently
to assassinate Mr.. Apple, of Elsmore
township, as he was on his way home
from meeting of the +. M. B. A, the
bullet from a revolver cutting the front
of his vest. The attempt is supposed
to have been the outcome Of an old
neighborhood grudge. No arrests have
been made.
