Arizona GovernOrship.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The nomina-
tion of Lewis Wolfey to be Governor of
Arizona is still pending before the CON-
mittee on territories: Senator Platt, chair
man, said to-day: We are waiting to hear
and receive all that may be offered for and
against Gen. Wolfey. When that is done
we shall consider it all and give judicial
decision. We could not do less than that,
and any man is entitled to it. The
charges, it is said, are of very serious
nature, but the general belief is that they
cannot be sustained, and that Gen. VOL
fey's nomination will receive a favorable

The Condition of Texas Cattle.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March 2O.-The
Cattle Sanitary Board of this Territory re-
port that since the enactment of the quar-
antine law in 1887 against diseased cattle
being admitted no case OF bovine disease
and particularly Texas fever has appeared
among the herds. Cattle are everywhere
healthy and are going into the spring and
summer seasons IN a most excellent fix.
The health of the bovine stock in
New Mexico during the time the quaran-
tine law has been in operation proves con-
clusively that the Texas fever does not
originate within the borders of this Terri
tory, and the law against its possible intro
duction is so effectively administered that
it cannot be brought here. Northern buy
ers of young stock for maturing purposes
are in the Territory contracting for herds,
which are permitted to pass the quarantine
lines north without inspection.

Tisza arrived at the lower House of the

crowd that had gathered outside of the
building groaned and hissed at the Prime
Minister, shouting, "Get out" resign" An
alteration took place in the Honse be-
tween Herr Polony and Herr Kroitsik.
The quarrel will probably lead to duel.
On leaving the chamber Herr Won Tisza
was booted at and pelted with stones by a
group of opponents. Baron Spleny, of the
Chief Detective Department, was injured
with stone Two constables were unhorsed
and ia 4 their legs broken.

crowd had gathered outside and Herr Hull
sky was violently hustled; Herr Toers,
who went to his assistance received Sc
we're blow on his head with stick. An
other person was wounded with shilletts.
Premier Tisza escaped unhurt. The mill
tary had to be called out. Copies of the
Nemzet were burned by the students.
There were several conflicts between the
mob and the police and many arrests were
made.

Mill Meeting.

There was a good attendance OF
farmers and business men at the cour,
house last Tuesday afternoon to listen
to Mr.. Yost's talk on milling anG
wheat raising.
The meeting was called to order BY
DR.. Conger and James Kelly was
called to the chair.
On motion of w. S. Tilton, A. w
Hotchklss was elected secretary.
Mr.. YOst, being called for. came for
ward and gave very interesting talk
on the subject of wheat raising as he
had observed the same among the
farmers Of Ellis county, Mr.. Yost is
thoroughly posted on his business, but
made no pretention as public speaker,
his talk was therefore rather rambling
He gave facts ard figures on the sub
ject as they occurred TO him without
regard to the connection of the line of
thought. The main points made were
as follows:
Last year was an exceptionally hard
year for farmers in Western Kansas.
The failure of crops was unprecedent-
ed in his experience of twelve years in
Western Kansas. The farmers OF
Ellis county. however, raised oyer
100000 bushels of wheat. which
brought them from 60 cents to 81 per
bushel. Many farmers who had pin
ned their faith entirely to the raising
of a corn crop were unable to buy seed
wheat. but through the assistance of
Mr.. YOst and some of the monied men
of Ellis county they were furnished
with seed and the result is that Ellis
county will this year produce over
l 10000 bushels of choice wheat.
There are many advantages derived
from this large acreage besides the
bushels OF wheat raised. the land be-
ing brought under cultivation receives

WHERE THEY WENT.
Wa-Keeney People and the Fourth
of July.

The floating of flags and the noise of
the firing of anvils, and the exploding of
fire-crackers, torpedoes, and so on, pro-
claimed the advent of the glorious Fourth
in Wa-KeeDey.
Beyond these demonstrations all was
quiet here. Our people went to different
places and in different directions in the
chase after pleasure. Gibbs's Grove was
headquarters for at least two separate
parties of picnicers. Some attended the
celebration at Miller's Grove. Quinter
caught some of our people. The most
exciting performance there, Surveyor
Ferris tells US, was pie-eating contest,
wherein three boys with their hands tied
behind them worked their. mouths to see
which could most quickly devour pie
for fifty cents. The smallest boy won.
He drew his pie upon the edge of his
plate, and had it convenient. The bigger
boys dipped their noses into the middle of
their pies, and rooted amid great disad-
vantages. Some of our people celebrated
at Hays City. Others went to Ellis.
This summary of the places where our
people celebrated shows that they have
good capacity for spreading out. Doubt
less, we have missed some places which
were visited by them.

An ENIGMA.

1t is to US an enigma why the
fine looded piece Of stock which
claims to run the Republican will
bother to notice newspaper which
is no Opposition"
1t is also a strange coincidence
that a man who sails on such fiat
tering financial seas as those which
the little Rep. man claims to have
the honor to lie under him should
have repudiated that stationery bill,
instead of paying it. 1t is strange
that this peculiarly fortunate angel,
who, for some inscrutable reason,
deigns to live among men, should
feel it necessary to recognize no
fractional part of a square in meas
uring public printing. 1t is strange
that this little Rep. man, who GER
tainly is the only one to be found in
this community to boast Of making
money in big blocks these times,
should find it necessary to claim
that a job which he did at slight
cost Of labor is worth as much as a
workmanlike job containing a great
err number Of words. It is strange
that this fellow, who has been able
to lose several friends a month,
without seeing that he has about
run out of them, should envy us for
gaining friend occasionally. Hard
to suit-this little Rep. man is; and
we have about despaired Of trying
any more!

THE FAIR.

We stated recently that anothe,
fair ought to be held in Trego coun-
ty the coming fall. It is sufficiently
late in the season to state that il
can be made a brilliant success. All
who witnessed the fair in 1887 GER
tainly wish to see one this year;
and, unless we misread the state OF
their minds, they are ready to con-
tribute something toward its success.
The Veterans Association of
Northwestern Kansas is to have its
reunion at Wa-Keeney the coming
fall. This, we believe, was decided
at Oakley last summer. The effect
of the fair and the pleasure of the
old soldiers could be enhanced by
having both these events occur
simultaneously. The correctness of
this observation can be seen at a
glance. It should be kept in view.

The First Man.

We mean the first man in the Tregc
county Jail. His name is Dallas Var
Wrinkle, and he lives in the eastern par,
of the county, few miles southwest Of
Ellis. Van came to town last Tuesday
In the evening he stepped into the Robin.
sin restaurant, and called for two loavee
of bread. The bread came to ten cent?
He handed over a fve-dollar Confederate
bill and received in change $3.50 in law
full money. The swindle was detected
almost Immediately, and sheriff Hogan
arrested the swindler, and lodged him
in the county Jail. Van lay in Jail until
the next day. He handed the sheriff
$3.50, all of the $3.50 he had not spent,
and was set at liberty, with the under
standing that he must raise the balance
of the money. Van also had some "adver-
Using money which he seemed ready to
swap for lawful money. All this was
taken from him. We are told that this

:! THE FIELD IS OPEN.

Elsewhere occurs the secretary
report of the proceedings Of the
mill meeting Of Tuesday afternoon.
When it came to reducing to
writing his basis Of starting a mill
at this place during the coming
year, Mr.. Yost, in addition to his
demand that ten thousand acres OF
wheat be sown in this county the
coming fall, also asked for bonus
Of twenty-five hundred dollars and
the defraying by our people of one
half the expense of building his ele-
elevator at this place. The elevator
was to be built within the next few
weeks.
DR.. Conger, in obedience to the
instructions of a meeting held Tues
day evening, promptly informed
Mr.. Yost, by mail, that these adj
ditions to the ten thousand acres of
wheat had not been asked by him
(Yost) in the first place, nor con-
templated by our people. To this
Mr.. Yost made answer, by mail, to
the effect that he could not get
along without assistance additional
to the ten thousand acres Of wheat.
This, we understand, ends nego-
tiations with Mr.. Yost. Wa-Kee-
ney is a good point for Touring
mill. We invite the inspection of
the field by any man who wants to
build up a good business in this line.

EDITORIAL SPANIELS,

The Russell Record, after copying
the most Of our article Of last week
concerning the death Of the Salina
Gazette, adds:
True, every word. There is, however,
another side to the question, or at least
another point from which to view it.
Comparatively few papers are run on the
basis of a legitimate enterprise. In some
cases they are started for the purpose of
booming some land company, in others to
advance the interests of political ring.
X +
There are creatures hanging onto the
rump OF the editorial profession who
might be termed editorial spaniels. It is
the nature of spaniel to lick the hand
OF every one, and the hand that whips it
the hardest it ticks and fawns upon the
most. just so with the editorial spaniel.
Conscious OF his inability to take care of
himself, he attaches himself to some pol
itician or political ring, and takes all the
kicks and cuffs that may be given him,
and still lawns upon his owners and does
their bidding. Such creatures bring the
profession into contempt and are the
cause of all the difficulty against which
the newspaper business has to contend.
1t will require no trip out Of
Wa-Keeney to make one strong per-
sonal application of the Records
logic!

THE Cove City Republican declares
that the county commissioners should
take some steps to check the ravages OF
the prairie dogs in the southwestern part
OF Cove county. The dog "village" is
moving northward at the rate of two
miles per annum. A number of the
best farmers have become discouraged,
and left their claims on account of these
pests. We fear that region is very wild
yet. Trego county had many prairie
dog villages ten years ago, and has some
yet; but it has been number Of years
since the animals were any great menace
to agriculture.
