needless to wait to go to some large city

Colby the second week in each month

Our friend, L. S Levitt. had strange
experience among our neighbors of Sher-
man county last week. There is town
out there called Goodland, which by the
way, has the division of the c., X. s. N.
railway, and which by further way seems
to be the only thing the aforesaid town
has. Well, some weeks since, Mr.. Levitt
ordered two car loads of No. 1 spring
wheat for seed-one for Thomas and the
other for Sherman county, intending to
have some: one of the merchants of Good
land take one, and the other to be sold to
the farmers in Thomas. No merchant
Goodland could be found to
take its intended car load, and Mr.. Low
lit decided to go out there with it him
self. Arriving there he began selling.
and, 10 and behold, an officer of the law
of the mighty city of GOodland, put in
an appearance and demanded payment
Of a license, claiming that Mr.. Levitt was
interfering with the busine ss men of the |
city. Whereupon Mr.. Levitt paid the IL |
cense and shipped his whea back to Col
by. Our farmers are pro fitting thereby,
and Thomas county will raise wheat.
Sherman county farmers protested
against the action of Goodland author
tiles and wanted the wheat but to no
avail. Goodland merchants are either too
poor to purchase wheat for Sherman
county farmers, or too unenterprising.
And Goodland authorities, by exact ing
license from any one who comes there
with something her merchants can't or
won't handle, proposes to stop all wheat
growing in Sherman county.

STATE FAIR ART COLLECTION.

A fine painting, especially when it
| dwells upon the passion of love, and
| contains for its two central figures, Ven
us, the divine queen of love, and Tam
hauser, the minstrel bard of Germany,
is an object worthy the highest degree
of attention of the people of the entire
State. 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Julius kessler, of st. Paul, in rendering
TO the State Fair Society for exhibition,
the remarkable painting owned by him
and known as "Venus" and '"Tannhau-
SER. has put before the general public
work of such European fame, and of
such marvellous execution, as has never
been seen before in this country. In
size the painting is as large as one side
OF an ordinary room, the figures are all
life proportions, and the whole design
is upon the scale of the tremendous.
Tannhauser, waking in the Grotto of
Love out of his dream of passion, starts
from his couch, to fly from the beautiful
place, Venus rises at the same instant
from her couch of gold, and throwing
her lily-white arms about his neck, lifts
to his face, another face wild with plead
ing and love. So the Berlin master has
caught and depicted them, and 30 has
laid upon the canvass parting famous
in all legend, history and song. This
painting alone will be well worthy of a
trip to the State Fair to see. Too much
cannot be said of its wonderful coloring
the work of silver and gold in the beau
tifnl grotto of Yenusberg, and those two
beings, one human, and one divine,
taking farewell separation, is simply
perfect. Superintendent Munger is i'm
raptures over bis success in having Sc
cured this beautiful painting for the
State Fair Art Collection.

}. HAL REID AGAIN.

At His Old Tricks In New York.
From Mi nneapolis Tribune.
1t is rumored that ]. Hal Reid, of THU
city, has been causing some trouble in
New York in the family of Miss Agnes
Herndon, the leading lady in the Sex.
Convict" Miss Herndon's husband is
a travelling man named Jessel, whom il
is said, Reid has entirely supplanted in
the affections of the actress. the two
are playing together in "La BelleMarie."
1t is said that Jessel caused scene on
one occasion when he came home un-
expectedly and found Miss Herddon,
Reid and the latter's father and mother
at little spread where no place was re-
served for himself. The outcome is said
to have been that Jessel found himself
on the outside of the house with the
others inside.
According to the New York Journal,
Jessel returned to his house, and, find
ing Reid cody packing his trunk, said
"l'll see your father, young fellow.
DR.. Reid peacefully sleeping on another
floor, was rudely awakened, and, half
dressed, was conducted to the Jessel
rooms.
"See there" said Jessel, pointing
angrllly to the tableau, which had not
changed since Jessel entered the first
time.
DR.. Reid looked around beneyolently
and then turning to Jessel, said:
81 really don't see anything calling for
my interference. My son, at least, is of
age"
1t is further said that Jessel was final
ly left out and the company went of to
play at Louisville.

Carcasses of Diseased Cattle shipped to
Abe Canneries.
New York, Aug 29.-The Herald has
specials from Kansas City, ST. Louis,
Wichita, Guthrie and Chicago, on the
subject of the reported appearance of
the dreaded Texas fever among cattle in
Oklahoma, Indian territory and Kansas.
The Kansas City correspondent says
that Mr.. William johnson, who has Just
returned from trip to Oklahoma, per-
sonally saw the ravages of the fever
among the cattle in that territory. The
symptoms are those of Texas fever, but
contrary to the usual rule, Texas cattle
die of it the same as natives. Mr.. John
son asserts that carcasses of cattle which
have died from the fever are being .
shipped to Cauneries.
The st. Louis correspondent says that
there have been fifteen or twenty cases
of fever reported by veterinary sur
geon to the state board as genuine Texas
fever. The cattle had passed into the
hands Of local butchers before the dis
ease was discovered. The Wichita COR
respondent says the reports of Texas
fever on tho strip and pan handle have
been greatly exaggerated. Five per cent.
will fully cover the loss. The Guthrie
correspondent says an occasional death
from the fever has taken place jim Okla
homa, but the malady is not so preva-
lent as has been reported and great pre-
caution is taken against its spread. The
Chicago correspondent says the report
OF Texas fever among the cattle in Chi
cago, proves to be unfounded. A few
lump jawed cattle were found at the
yards yesterday and condemned.

STRIKES RAPIDLY SPREADING.

Over 100000 London Laborers Idle
Ships Going to Other Ports to Unload.
LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The strike is still
spreading, and the relative positions of
the employers and the strikers remain
unchanged. Rumors are in circulation
that the printers intend joining the
strike, which is virtually fight for a
universal eight-hour system, and wGge-
earners in branches of industry hitherto
believed to be beyond the reach of the
communicating influence of strikes are
becoming FESTIVE and inclined to cast
their fortunes with the dock laborers
and their allies. The paralysis which
pervades the shipping industry shows no
sign of improvement in London, but
ships are discharging at Chatham and
Southampton without interruption,
preferring the chances of getting their
cargoes to London overland, to the GER
their accustomed docks. The lord mayor
has declined to act as arbitrator. fearing
to interfere in dates properly belonging
to the judges of the courts.
The dock companies and ship owners
have decided to send the ships now in
port here to neighboring ports to be un-
loaded and ship the cargOes to London
by rail. They have secured about 5000
foreigners for the purpose. The leaders
of the striking laborers laugh at this at
tempt at a flank movement. They say
the enormous cost of such proceeding
would alone condone it to failure, but
apart from this, if the attempt is seri-
ously made they could effectually check
mate the ship owners by ordering out
the freight handlers at the London ter
mini of the railroads, who, they say, are
even now anxious to strike. The public
subscriptions in aid of the strikers now
amount to $4,000. and this sum will be
used chiefly for the purchase and distri-

Murdered by a Brother Preacher.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 90. A
preacher named David Carnut was muir.
dered ten days ago near st. Paul, Ark.
Carnut was go years old and peddled
goods in the mountain region of North
Arkansas, preaching at intervals. Rev.
M. G. p. Nickens was arrested, the
coroner's jury having decided that he
was the murderer. The preachers were
neighbOrs and the body of Carnut was
found near NickenS' house. News
reached here yesterday that Nickens es-
capped while enroute to Jail and was pur-
sued and recaptured by two officers,
who shot him, infiicting slight wounds.
He has made damaging admissions with
regard to a Ratchet with which Carnut's
head was chopped to pieces. There is a
mystery surrounding the motive for the
crime, but a rumor is current that a
female relative of Nickens is the cause
of il
