Barton Needs Fair.


Barton county should have fair
association, without . doubt. The
organization Of it could be easily
brought about if each man who could
spare a few dollars would go into it
cheefully and hopefully. It has been
the experience of past years that most
men had to be dragged forward and
money wormed out OF them to start
any enterprise of general interest Let
us abandon such tactics and unite freely
and cheerfully, each doing little and
all doing willingl.-, and we can have
a county fair that will redouned to
the lasting credit of the county and to
the pleasure of each participant. Let
the men who have heretofore worked
earnestly and faithfully, and eventually
had to bear the burden of expense, join
with the other men who are fully able
to assist in putting an association on
its feet. It would cost but a small
amount of money to prepare for the
exhibition, and as to purses and
they would be mostly paid
from the entrance fees and gate
receipts.

Taking the Census by Electricity.

The subtle principal which our
scientists have finally succeeded in
putting to so many uses has been
applied to a machine for taking the
census, which will do the work of a
large number of clerks. After the
census-taker has written out the answer
to the question on his printed blank, in
the usual way, the sheets will be given
to the person operating the census
machine which somewhat resembles
a typewriter, except that it punches
small round holes in card instead of
making an ink-mark. The cards-One
for each person-are three inches wide
and about six and half inches long,
and the particular position of hole in
a card indicates an answer to question
on the printed list. When the cards
are puched, they are placed one at a
time in press, and lever, operated
by one hand, brought down, when a
series of pins are brought against the
card. Whenever hole has been
punched in card, the corresponding
pin passes through into mercury cup
beneath, completing an electric circuit.
These circuits, one for every hole, pass
out to a large number of counters
operating electrically, and adding upon
their dials all items of the same kind
upon the same dials; for instance, all
white men upon dial marked white
males, and all business or professional
persons upon dials which indicate their
particular business or profession. The
census of 1890 will be thus enumerated
with these machines, and two will be
sent to New York City for the next
demonstrating. Denorest's Monthly
Magazine.

But to resume the thread of my dis
course: the boys who are anxious to be
my successor are very hungry; they
have been feeding on shucks and icicles
for four long, weary years; the official
calf is fat, and they yearn to taste it's
tender joints. They fought (among
themselves), they bled Cat the nose),
and are willing to die for the g. o. p.
When asserted that you were the
Chinaman's candidate and ate rattail

Dudley and Foster that it was cam
paign canard, and threatened to detail
blocks of five to fry the fat out Of me.
Fortunately for me their threat was
never carried into execution.
They carried torches, drank with the
coons, and sang ''Grandpa's hat will

many foolish things, none of which
would they have been guilty of doing
had they not scented an aroma of post

the p@ns of praise which they sounded
when it became evident that you had
got there, Eli, will never be Sahara
in my memory.
For these and other reasons unnec-

aren't they? New candidates are
boDbing up on every hand. The old
politicians are scrubbing up their moss
covered tactics and beginning to manip-
ulate the wires with practiced hands;
whlle the entire horde of eager Office

rambunxious as cockroaches on a greasy
kitchen table. 1t is wonderful to see
the number of men in the republican
party in this county who are willing to
be sacrificed for the public good; Some
of them have been reluctantly (?) led to

It is marvellous how few white men
lose their lives from hunting, although
their adventures and narrow escapes.
especially from the tiger tribe,
are numerous, says a letter from
Hindoostan in the San Francisco
Chronicle. A sub-commissioner, who
is a magistrate for a sub-district. went
out in the jungle one day to try and
find tiger which had been reported
to him as having been seen near the
village where he resided. There being
no white man within many miles of
him, his guard being composed of
Madrasse police under native SUBJ
hadar or lieutenant, Hill went to hunt
the beast by himself, the Indian SER
want he took with him to carry his
rifle, etc., not counting as an effective.
He was walking leisurely along a path
in the jungle with only a walking
cane in his hand. It happened to be q
fine suecimen of the grapevine cane,
cut from variety of vine which Hill
had brought from the West Indies
some years before. The cane had a
natural knot or knob as a head. and
was remarkably strong and flexible.
AS he was looking about him from
side to side large tiger emerged from
the thick underground only a few
yards in advance of him. Keeping his
eyes fixed full on the brute and staring
into his eyes Hill put his left hand
cautiously behind him, telling his SER
want in low tone to give him his
rifle. The Hindoo up to this had been
following closely in the footsteps of
his master. Not getting the rifle
handed to him Hill repeated the order
in a louder tone, but again without
any response. AS the situation was
becoming rather critical and the tiger
was evidently restless and anxious to
get at him, Hill, unfortunately for
himself, turned his head to see where
his servant was, but the cowardly fell
low had evidently fled at the sight of
had only been kept in check by the
resolute gaze of the white man, took
instant advantage of Hills head being
turned aside and made spring, land
ing just in front of him.
He had no time to lose in thinking
what was best to be done. He, how
ever, with rare presence of mind, aim
ed blow at the tigers nose-a most
sensitive part of the animals body
and, lucky for him, hit his mark. This
blow caused the tiger to swerve some
what in his attack and he just struck
Hills arm with one of his powerful
paws and vanished in the Jungle,
whining as he went. Hill could recol-
lect no more, for he fell down insensi-
BILE, having tainted from pain. The
servant in the meantime, having
thrown down the rifle, which was af-
terward found close to where Hill was
lying, had run back to the village half
dead with fright and apprised the
head man of his masters dangerous
position. The Burman villagers, who
are no towards, soon proceeded with
spears and other primitive weapons in
to the jungle and found Hill lying
PROSTATE in the path.
