Bulls and RED Dresses.

Ladies' who 60 out on pedestrian tours,
II they have to go through fields where
there are cattle, should be careful not TO
wear red dresses. Yesterday q number
of ladies started out for q good long
walk In the direction OF New Castle.
When they reached the Hare's Corner
road they were induced by one Of their
number to take near cut across some
fle ds to the place of their destination.
They crossed one Held all right, but
when they were crossing the second
Held bull came out from behind hay
stack and disputed their passage, and he
seemed especially ferocious towards the
lady dressed In red.
Tho lady had the reputation Of being q
fast walker and runner, but she was
hardly prepared for race with the irate
bovine. Nevertheless she had to do some
thing, and running seemed TO be the only
alternative left. Alter leading the bull
lively chase around the field and huding
the animal gaining on her sho cried for
help. and spying q pear tree in corner
Of the field, with ladder against It, she
made for it. She mounted the ladder
but 1t fell. The other nine ladies uttered
piteous shrieks of despair, but the lady
In red, equal TO the emergency, picked
up the ladder. leaned 1t against u lirnb
and mounted the tree, where she bid de.
flance to the bull snorting around below.
A young man ridirg along side road,
hfaring the noiss came in hurry TO zee
what was the matter and soon took 10 the
situation, and with whip In hand he
caused the enraged bull TO go to another
part of the field during which time the
lady in red in attempting to descend fell
and hurt herself SO much that she could
not continue her journey. A parley was
held among the fair pedestrians, and the
young man who came to the rescue took
the young lady home in his carriage. No
more red dresses will be worn when the
club starts out on it's next walk. 1t
would be cruel 10 use names.

this afternoon that In his opinion the Re

of six to the Republican majority in the
Congress. "Have 1 any doubt about

so sure of that as tho Others, and will
tell you why. The Democrats have more
money than we have and they are going
10 use 1t where 1t will do the most good.
Hauser, the Democratic candidate for
the United States Senate, is worth mil
lions and has lsrger mining interests
than any other man in the state. Though
near y all OF his business lieutenants are
Republicans they seem inclined to sup.
port him at any rate. Marcus DAILY, the
chairman OF the Democratic State COM
mittee, is also big miner with plenty of
cash, and 1t will be easy for him to say
to his men, vote the Democratic ticket or
lose your job. Both these gentlemen, l
understand, stand we'll with tile North

doubt will receive much help from that
corporation. The Republicans are doing
their level best, however, under the

who has labored to hold back the in

dent hesitate much longer blood will
be shed. There are 10000 white
people in the Chickasaw Nation
alone to take up claims in the terri
tory, and disappointment has fol
lowed disappointment until they are
becoming desperate"
The boomers are greatly agitatet
over the efforts to report them nov
going in. The prospectors who
have recently arrived are taking the
names of those who have violated th
provisions of the bill by enterin:
upon land, and intend to appea
against them to defeat their filing

of land for six years, to-day statet
