The congressional convention which
was held at Dodge City on Wednesday
of this week, was very largely attended
from every portion of the district. and
the citizens of said city are to be con-
graduated and honored for the courteous
and magnificent manner in which the
multitude OF guests were entertained.
Excellent accommodations of every kind
were provided, and ill unite in saying
that beyond question. Dodge City was
the most appropriate place for holding
the convention.-Ingalls Union.

The platform adopted by the congress
ional convention appears in this issue.
The republicans of the big seventh"
with ]. r. Hallowell in the lead, will
fight it out on this platform. and when
the November count is completed, will
have carried the day by the usual figur-
es, Johnny Rldicule of the Times, TO the
contrary Notwithstanding Globe Re-
publican.
Well when a republican convention,
and especially Kansas one, comes out
with such q jplatfor:::, getting square on
to almost every principle that that the
democratic party has been oontcnding
for, it does seem ridiculous. And when
they endorse Humphrey, and the next
moment place man on the platform
who is resubmissionist in Wichita and
prohibitionist in Hutchinson, they de-
serve the contempt of all thinking men.

We are in receipt of q letter from Mr..
Frank Rist of Jefferson. S. Oak. asking
for information regarding affairs in Ford
county. In reply would say that
July was very hot and dry and the
corn crop was very badly injured. The
early planting outside of irrigation, will
make very little. We had good rains
last Saturday and Sunday, which will
make some corn on the late planted fields.
The wheat and rye were fair crop,
above the average. Under the irrigating
bitches the crops are doing well,
especially alfalfa. The South Side ditch
is finished for about fifteen miles, and
has an abundance o. water, but was COM
plcted too late to be of much benefit this
season, the water having been turned on
only about two weeks ago.
The college has not been turned over
to the Presbytery as yet, but hope
to have the matter settled in few days.
Taken altogether, Dodge City and Ford
county have better prospects for prosper
ity in the future than any point we know
of IN the west. We understand that work
will commence on the Montezuma road
in a short time. and there ure good pros
poets ahead that work will commence on
the north and south road in the near fu
turc.

The August sun had gone down In blaze
of golden glory. The restless katydid war
bled its pensive lay from its retreat among
the honeysuckles the Lake Michigan zephyr
stirred the leaves of the consumptive shade
trees, and the giddy cockroach meandered
merrily about the premises. A young man
and young woman sat in the arbor and
fought mosquitoes.

passionate information of st. Louis drum

merchant, 'am too lateg'

"Did not get it! Hal Then it was taken
by that letter thief, Oberkampl | see it all.

81 did, Miss Millsap."

The lake breeze sobbed mournfully and

Crime and It's Treatment,

Time was when folks afflicted with
disease were put out of the way, not
as Bergh's men kindly kill dis
abled animal to mercifully end its dis
tress, but because deemed unfit to
live. Now the browning glory of oui
century is its magnificent hospitals
lime will be when our prisons, the dis
grace of this grand age, will be
changed to humanitarian institutions
for the control and cure of crime, in
stead of pest places for its punishment
and propagation.
Statesmen and reformers are begin
ming to consider that our system of SO
ciety is really accountable for more
crime than it prevents. Judges aud
juries are frequently called upon to
condemn unfortunate creatures of cir
cumstances less guilty of offense
against their fellows than those before
whom they are arraigned. Did all
wrong doors escape detection, as
doubtless the majority do, there would
be no criminals known; while if the
consciences of men were incased in
glass all would be criminals alike
There would be no honest men to bring
the guilty to justice. Let all who read
reflect upon this.
He who robs you wrongs himself
worse than you. You may recover
your property or purchase more, but he
has corrupted his conscience, ruined
his reputation, assassinated his man
hood. He has inflicted upon himself
a misfortune, while you have but sus
tanned a pecuniary and perchance a
trifling loss. IS. FL. Preston in Jour
nal of Health.

are only permitted to touch the liv-
ing animal when they have proved
their competence with the machine.
The apparatus consists of two cast
iron cylinders fitting into one another
and pressed by means of two power
full springs. When the button upon
the apparatus is struck the springs are
pressed, and the cylinders slip to-
gether, while the exact strength of
the blow given is indicated upon the
dial. The apparatus hangs in strong
wooden frame and is movable, so that
the button can be raised or lowered
according as the practice is intended
for large or small cattle. A mallet of
forged iron about inches long is used
with this apparatus. 1t has on both
sides a rounded surface of about 2
inches in diameter. The handle,
which measures 274 inches long, must
not be used too short, TO avoid risk Of
breaking. -Freiburger Tagblatt.

The business of building ships has
prospered in Great Britain during the
past year. 1t is noble trade, and en-
ploys large number of the most skill
full mechanics. On the little river
Clyde, in Scotland, 302 vessels were
launched in 1888, of which IFS were
steamers and I27 were sailing ships.
Most of the steamers were built of
steel, which has now become the favor
lite metal among ship owners.
On the Tyne, 1872 vessels were built
during the year, and on the Wear 70,
making a total of 500.
These vessels alone would form a
very imposing feet, and nearly all of
them were designed for commercial
purposes. Great as the number of
new vessels was, it does little more
than make good the losses in the Brit.
ish shipping list by wreck and decay.
Moreover, considerable number of
these vessels were built for foreign
firms and governments.
In any part of the world, if any one
wants good steamer built, he thinks
first of the great ship building firms
in the north of Britain, and one OF
them is pretty sure to get the contract.
There was a time when the United
States took the lead in this magnificent
kind Of manufacture, and people in
England went down to the docks in
Liverpool and London just to see the
beautiful clippers built on the Merri
mac, the Hudson and the Kennebec
1t should be so. and will be so again.
we trust, before many years have
passed. - Youths Companion.

John r. RAYMOND. Hote, Joke.

heard a funny story the other day
about Jimmy Pigott, that clever actor,
who first came to this country / think
with Mrs. Langtry and afterward act
ed with young Sothern. Jimmy Pi
gott was at one time very well known
in the gay set about London, and like
many another good fellow lost his
money and had to turn round and
| make his bread and butter. Just be.
fore he came to this country he met
John I. Raymond, whose advice he
asked about the hotels and other mat
ters This is the result: When Mr.
Pigott got here he stepped into cab
and requested to be taken TO the
Hotel Tombsl" The cabby asserted
that he did not know of any such
place. Then" said Pigott ito the
Hotel Ludlow" Again cabby insisted
on his ignorance. "Well, of all stupid
cabman / ever came across, this is the
stupidestl What hotel would you
recommends" Hotel Dam, sir.
Dam yourself, said Pigott, getting
out of the cab and posing himself foi
fight The cabby was quickly of
the box, only too ready to begin, and
it was only after the surrounding cab
men had explained that Pigott realized
that he had been sold by his friend
Mr.. Raymond, and that the cabby's
intentions were quite honorable. That
same afternoon the genial English
man went to the ticket office to in
quire the price of ticket to Salt Lake,
as he had a brother there, and he
thought he would like to spend the
afternoon with himl His astonish
ment when he discovered that the
ticket would be in the neighborhood
of 5000, and that he could scarcely be
there in time for dinner, can be better
imagined than described. New York

The minister Thanked Heaven,

n old sea captain sat in the lobby of the
O. ON house yesterday afternoon He was
In talkative mood, and related a number
Of funny experiences he had had with minis
tiers. There was one in particular which
amused him very much as he recalled it.
"Once, when we left London" he began.
ITO make trip to Baltimore, among the pas-
sengers on board was a preacher. We had
hardly got out of the river before the good
man became awfully sick, and he felt sure
something was wrong with the ship He re-
lated his fears to me, and to allay them /
took him TO the fore part of the vessel, where
a number of sailors were at work.
DO you hear those men swearP asked
YES he replied. Isn't it shockingl
What will become of themP
"'Well, don't know answered. but IL
must be plain they are not worried about the
condition of the ship The reverend gentle
man saw the point and felt much easier.
The next day terrible storm arose. The
vessel plunged in the trough Of the waves,
and the passengers we're greatly frightened.
Il noticed the preacher going to the same
part of the ship, and I followed him. Sud.
denly he stopped and listened attentiyelv.
Then he exclaimed: thank heaven. they ara
still swearing Ineed not add that tho boat
didn't go down. n-Baltimore Newa
