The writer visited Lacrosse last
week, going up over the Santa Fe
branch and returning via the Mo.
P. road. AS we rode up the Walnu:
valley we thought that there would
not be enough cars on the Santa Fe to
carry away to market the wheat that
would be gathered in that valley
alone, to say nothing about corn, oats,
potatoes and rye, all of which crops
looked magnificent. AS we returned
over the Mo. p, we decided that there
was no best PART of Barton county
every part OF the county we have seen
being perfect in the way of crops.

Prohibition Soft Teddy.


In Philadelphia every one is laughing
at the humors of the Prohibition canvass,
excepting the Prohibition managers, who
are busy enough in an apparently serious
effort to explain that being defeated by
100000 majority is, after all, ''moral
victory" for the cold-water cause. Among
the true stories going around is one about
the famous ice-water tank in Girard street,
over which there was suspended large
pennant, bearing the legend, "Drink of the
stream that never runs dry" On election
day it was noticed with some curiosity
that this source of cold comfort suddenly
became very popular with an element that
could scarcely be classed with the practical
Prohibitionists of the community. Indeed,
the floaters gathered about the fountain in
such numbers that it was clear that unless
the Schuykill river was turned on tap the
perennial stream must go dry before it
quenched the thirst of its patrons.
After awhile the temperance tank be-
came the center of much ioviality and
excitement, which bothered the exhorters
on the stand, who were constantly urging
the public to drink of the stream that
never runs dry" Soon the police were
called on to interfere, and score of pat
rons of the temperance beverage were
successfully led away to neighboring
lookup. 1t became apparent that the tenn
perance cause would not derive much ben
eft from that particular object lesson
unless by paralyzing anti-prohibition
voters. The outflow was cut off, a COM
mittee was appointed to see what the mat
ter was, and it turned out that some wag
had succeeded in introducing about ten
gallons of the rankest whisky to be found
in all Philadelphia into the temperance
tank.

Celebration at Denver.

Successful Beginning of Il Three-Days'
Celebration at Denver.
DENVER, July 4th.-The three days cele-
brauun of the National holiday began early
this morning. The city is most beautifully
decorated with flags and bunting, while
the streets are hung with colored lights,
which to night present q most handsome
appearance. Every business house, ali the
Courts, banks, State Federal and city offices
were closed during the day, and all incom-
ing trains brought hundreds from the out
side towns to witness the celebration.
General Sherman, who arrived yesterday.
held q reception at his hotel this morning
from 10 TO - o'clock, after which he headed
the grand parade, composed of the Grand
Army, State guards, militia, troops from
Fort Logan and adjoining posts and all
civic and other organizations in the citv
which had formed on Eighteenth street
near the Windsor Hotel. The parade
marched through the principal streets on
its way to the State Capitol grounds, where
the exercises of the day were to take place.
In passing a given point the parade &C.
cupIed two hours and half, and along the
entire line General Sherman was greeted
with deafening cheers. Arriving at the
grounds, General Wage Swayne delivered
the Grafton of the day. His address dweIt
principally upon the late war and the old
soldiers.
He was followed by Mr.. W D. Guthrie
of New York, who made brief address, at
the conclusion of which the Star Spangled
Banner was rendered by the band and the
bugle sounded the assembly. Then Gen
eral Sherman stepped to the front of The
platform, and as he uncovered his head
was greeted with cheers from thousands OF
threats. The cheering was loud and pro-
longed, and the General was compelled to
bow his acknowledgements repeatedly. He
began by saying that when he accepted the
citizens invitation To visit Denver he stipu-
lated that he should not be required 10
make speech. He was going to bold the
committee to their agreement, and he
thought the citizens should be satisfied
with the elegant speakers who had accom-.
panied him from the East. Loud applause
followed. The General spoke OF Denver's
beauty and the greatness OF Colorado. and
closed with few words to his old com
rades in arms, which aroused intense en-
thusiasm.
The band played Marching Through
Georgia, the bugle sounded the call and
the General saluted and the exercises were
at an end. General Sherman will remain
in the State several days before returning

One fact has been proved beyond doubt

The low price of cattle has made the in

are selling of their cows and steers and re-
placing them with horses.
AN encouraging change, and one which
more than compensates any loss in any
other direction, has taken place in the
southwest. The Texas long horn, lean,
sinewy animals are being rapidly replsced
by the cross between the Durham and De-
Won, and the average weight of cattle is
greater by more than 100 pounds than it
ever was before

The Waterloo Mining Company, Wis.
