The Most EnterprIsing Crow on Record.
Farmer Crowder had finished plant
ing his corn, but his heart was heavy.
lie knew the crows were whetting
their bills to pull up the corn as soon
as 1t appeared above the surface.
II car tell you how to get away
with the crows" said Neighbor Stokes.
"How3"
Get you n gallon of mean whisky
and soak some corn in it till it gets
full of tho stuff, and then scatter it
broadcast in the field. The black ras-
Gals will eat it and get drunk, and then
you can catch EN- and pull their heads
off. That beats pizen or shootin'."
In q few days Farmer Crowder met
his friend Stokes.

Stokes.

piled Crowder, dolefully. 81 tried
that 'er scheme o yourn, and it's a

A BIRTHD1Y E~NTERPRISE.

We have received an invitation to be
present at the opening OF the new Bee
building in Omaha tomorrow evening
which occasion will also sighalize the
eighteenth anniversary of the paper.
In the past seven years Omaha has
made phenomenal strides in wealth and
prosperity, hut the only paper which has
until lately made very much money has
been the Bee. 1t was originally started
as n sort of a theater programme. Ed
ward Roscwater its founder and present
editor is still owner of about four. ffths
of the stock. He is n native of Bo-
hernia, of Jewish extraction and received
his early education in Prague. During
the war he was attached to the telegraph
branch of the service and as an expert
operator followed this business for several
years aiterward.
During the early days of the Bee Rose
water was chiefly engaged in writing brist-
ling attacks on prominent citizens and
subsequently lodging into alleys to avoid
his irate subscribers or persistent printers
ambitiously anxious to secure their pay.
Those were pretty tough days for the Bee
and its editor but Rosewater was as per-
sistent as a bull dog ami seemed TO have
as many lives as the proverbial cat. In
1881 Omaha was a town of not more
than IS, 900 inhabitants and the present
editor of The LEADER, then city editor
OF the Bee, comprised in his own proper
person the entire local staff.
The big real estate movement which
was begun in 1882. brought the Bee to
the front with tremendous strides and it
has now become a paper of which the en-
tire West may be proud. Its new build
ing was erected at a cost of 5000 900 and
is SAID to be magniieently equipped with
everything that goes to make up a great
modern newspaper.
The LEADER extends its congratula-
tons on this suspicious occasion.

A -DEMOCRATLC VIEW

If Sweetwater county wants to join in
the procession for statehood, it will have
to elect five delegates on July S, 1889, to
attend the constitutional convention, says
the Rock Springs Miner. To save the
expenses of a partisan election, the Miner
would suggest that our two county COM
mIttees meet at some convenient place
and decide on some plan whereby a selec-
ton eau be made at the least expense and
devoid of political feeling. Every dele
gate will have to pay his own expenses so
that there cannot possibly be any clamor
for the position for what money there is
in it. Our county is entitled to five
delegates. Suppose the Democratic com
mittee select two delegates, the Republi
can committee two and let both commit.
tees agree upon the fifth.
We believe this would be a fair and i'm.
partial way of settling the question. Both
parties would then have the opportunity
OF choosing their most capable representa-
tives, with the assurance of meeting with
no disappointment.

According to the general idea Of
slaves to habit or taste, the morphine
tiend is ono of, if not tho worst.
Wore bad enough, I'll admit that, but
there are others that are Just as bad,
and of whonsthe public knows moth
ing. Now, for instance, 1 know of
one man who takes quinine as if it was
flour, and he couldn't possibly get
along without it. He is a man who
drinks regularly, taking probably a
dozen glasses of whisky, often more,
a day. With every drink of whisky
he takes a spoonful of quinine. 1t Is
kept at the bar for him at all times,
and is handed out to him like n piece
of loaf sugar would be to another
man. Another fend is the one who
~habitually takes antipyrine. He is
really one of the worst. When this
drug gets a good hold on a person
there is really no getting away from
it, and its effect is extremely bad.-In-
terview in st. Louis Globe Democrat.

UNGALLANT.

The Laramie Boomerang in quoting
the resolutions passed at the mass meet
ing of ladies held in this city last Satur-
day, has this to say:
"a mass meeting of several hundred
lady voters was held at Cheyenne Satur
day. Like the males at Cheyenne they
took it upon themselves to speak for ev-
erybody outside of the capital city. If
the majority of the women in Wyoming
want suffrage under a state government
they will probably be able to obtain it,
but it will be a long time before we, the
women of Wyoming will all live IN
Cheyenne"
The editor of the Boomerang is I'M
gallant. The ladies OF Cheyenne do not
arrogatc to themselves any privileges to
which they are not justly entitled. The
expression. I'VE, the women OF Wyo-
ming was simply a slip of the pen, no
doubt, for the ladies arc unused to the
diplomatic ways OF the politicians who
frequently accomplish the leaf of saying
much without saying anything. They
furthermore probably never thought that
any horrid critic like this editor of the
boomerang would be 30 ungallant as to
c%riticise them merely for their verbal ex-
pressions.
Should the boomerang man ever come
to Cheyenne and make himself known
after this hypercritical effort he will I'M
doubtedly conclude hat I'VE, the women
OF Wyoming are interviewing him.

Thoma.rille,s Chicken rrndo.

Allie Pringle asked us if we had
any idea of the amount of Thomas
ville's trade in chickens and eggs.
We hadn't. He said that it amounted
to moro than the cotton trade, that
they sold, on an average, $40 worth
of eggs a day the year round, and
that their trade in chickens and eggs
alone would amount to over $40, 900 a
year.-Thomasville, Ga, Times.

filed in Judge Gresham's court sensational
charges against Henry Crawford. the we'll

are that in 1885 he bought the Midland

foreclosure sale and within short time
thereafter originated a scheme for floating
bonds for SlO,0o0,0O0 upon the road, the
value of whose rolling stock, right-of-way
and all assets not to exceed $4,000.

seizure OF the Midland company's books,
but Judge Gresham decided notice must
first be- gwen Crawford. So far ms yet ap-

ford over issued any bonds, and the pro-
ceedings appear in the nature Of an effort
