CORNERED HIS ENEMY.
What Came Of Sleeping on Business
Proposition.

A druggist had fitted up neat corner
store and had established fine trade.
One day another druggist entered his
store and said; 81 want to buy you out.
How much will you take?" 81 do not
want to sell, " was the reply. II expect.
cd that answer" said the encroaching
person, and. ! am prepared for it. Now,
II you don't sell out to me, | will open a
drugstore in opposition on the opposite
corner. How much will yon take? The
druggist, offended at this species Of brow.
beating, said he would sleep on it and re-.
port the next morning. AT the appoint
ed hour the aspirant was in the store,
and large price was named. The bar.
gain was bound. The druggist who had
thus been ousted from corner which he
had fitted up with a view to years of
peace and profit, sought the owners of
the opposite corner which had been held
out to him as threat, secured long
lease on it, worked night and day, and
now has drugstore in which any com.
munity might take satisfaction and re-.
pose confidence. What is more, he is
doing better business than he did in
the former locality.

Clover Valley, in this tLincoln) County
about the LIST. of this month l observed .
very large hard swelling on the leg Of one
Of my horses. 1t was apparently caused

lie was train dispatcher on the OHIO
4 Mississippi railroad once, having
worked up to that position from messen-

Sunday he had only two trains on his
division, an express tr,in Westward
bound and fast stock train running
East. The day was warm and sultry,
and Bill, for that was his name, had
hard work TO keep awake. He knew
that as soon as he made the meeting
point for the two trains he could doze,
and he impatiently awaited the time.
When the trains were close enough to-
gether for him to figure meeting point
he sent an order to the passenger train
to meet and pass the stock train
at little station called Willow Valley,
fixing tho time at 1850. To the
stock train no sent an order that IL could
have until 1928 TO make Willow Valley
for the passenger. Soc the mistake.
He forgot the 0, and henae gave the
stock train thirty-five minutes more than
he should. Bill saw his mistake ten
minutes after he had made 1t, but there
being no telegraph station between the
points where the trains were given the
orders or at the meeting point he could
do nothing to rectify it. He sent for
the superintendent and ordered out the
wrecking crew, then sat at the key pale
as death, the cold perspiration running
down his face in streams, awaiting news
OF the collision. - A~sss~~~sssssaussasat

Willow Valley on time, waited the re-

card rules for the freight train and
then pulled out. Three minutes later
the two trains met on curve, both run
ming at high rate Of speed. Fourteen
lives were lost in the collision, besides
100000 worth Of property destroyed.
Bill resigned at once, and the next day
disappeared. For long time it was

How often do we see people trampling
about in the mud. with shoes soaked
through; and how often do such people,
when they return home, sit down by the
fireside and permit their feet to dry with
out changing either stockings or shoes?
Can we then wonder at the coughing and
barking and rheumatism and inflammation
which enable the doctors to ride in their
carriages? Wet feet most commonly pro-
duce affections of the throat and lungs,
and when such diseases have once taken
place ''the house is on fire." danger is
not far off; therefore, every one, no mat
ter how healthy, ought to guard against
wet feet.

A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than 10 Con-

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, In

The great quantity Of cathartic pills, etc.,
which are taken by the people Of this coun-
Ivy are productive of immensely more mis-
chief than is generally suspected. True, the
physic unloads the bowels, but Its action
tends to diminish the tone OF the intestinesi
20 that, instead OF removing costiyeness, IL
eggravates it, leaving the bowels In more
torpid condition.
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed

arraigument anticipates, viz: instead OF be-
ing powerful mineral purgative, 1t Is .
mild vegetable laxative, that, owing to it,
solvent and gentle stimulating properties, 10

been given away to hundreds, not to be paid
for unless it was OF positive benefit. 1t 70
places constipation almost Immediately

that, unlike drastic purgatives, 1t can b

Lions in India, like buffaloes in
America, have fallen before the hunts
mans rifle to such an extent that there
Is danger of their total extinction. In
this emergency the government has
issued an order prohibiting the killing
of any more of the kings of beasts un-
der heavy penalty. The lion is a pic
turesque brute and, it is popularity sup
posed, is the possessOr in a very marked
degree of the quality of nobility. As a
matter of natural history 1t is difficult
to find where the nobility comes in,
but there is no use disputing popular
tradition. To Britishers especially the
lion has always been ~endeared, and If
England wishes him to increase and
multiply and replenish India with a
view to diminishing the enormous pop
ulatiOn of that country it's nobOdy's
business but her own.

The gift of n cottage by the sea at At
lantic City, presented by John Wanna
maker and others, TO the presidents wife
at the white house, and promptly ac-
cepted, observes the Albany Argus, was a
most interesting example of the delicate
sense of official duty which animates this
administration. Mr.. Cleveland insisted
upon paying his way everywhere, when he
was president, and neither he nor his wife
would accept any valuable gift as n trib-
ute To his influential position. His sue
cessor is evidently of Il very different
opinion. All hat comes to the white
house through John Wanamaker, unac
companied by an unreceipted bill, will be
thankfully received.

THEY'LL HAVE TO STAND IT.

The day will never dawn when the
two men from Montana who wormed
their way into the federal senate will
spect of those with whom they venture
TO associate. Thecompromising situa-
tion of these men does not excite the
envy of any decent American citizen.
They are recognized frauds. they are
looked upon in Washington with the
feeling of contempt that is always
shown toward "A shady record. Sanders
and Power have had TO be silent in the
presence of insult more than once since
they arrived at the national capital.
They will have TO grin and bear il n
good many times before they end u
term of Office which they dishonesty
hold. II is not in the nature of things
that they should receive decent treat
ment. They cannot expect il; they GER
tainly do not get it. They were seated
by a republican majority, but they
were instantly assigned to committee
relations that are so Insignificant rs to
make Montana ridiculous-they are
simply tolerated in the senate.
Power caught it two days ago in
characteristic style, and the STANDARD
desires TO emphasize the fact that the
insult visited upon him and his title
came from a western republican. This
republican. a member of the house of
representatives, and a resident Of the
new state of Washington, took occa.

the abuse of real senators, but when il

IL is patent 10 every n that the politi-
cal situation is confused and complicated

where more so than i'm the northwest.
South Dakota supplies the best illustra-
ton, because il is there that the breaking
away from old party ties and the effort 10
form new organizations of national scope
have proceeded 10 the greatest lengths.
There are four full-fiedged parties i'm the

the v%ernacular with which this asser-
ton was dressed out.
This style of salutation, or worse
than II, awaits Sanders and Power at
every turn. Distrusted by their party
associates and despised by every demo-
crat In Washington, they are %nonenti-
ties with their own clan while they
rank as undoubted frauds with the
men of the opposition. 1t is hard lines
for a republican who sits i'm the United
States senate to have his title assailed
and insulted by a congressman of his
own party. Power and Sanders might
endure this sort of thing from a demo-
crat, but to be sat upon by a represen-
tative republican is tart indeed. Yet
this happens without exciting
wonder. II Is q style of treatment
which would make public life unbear-
able for the average honest man, but
the two Montana usurpers will have to
endure II. II embitters their days In
Washington, beyond a doubt, but 1t
serves them right; and they'll get
more of IL the longer they stay in

The census enumerators of Florida
will stand no foOling. One of them
named Wilson called on his neighbOr, a
Mr.. Hinman, to get statistics and got a
slap in the mouth instead. Enumera-
tor Wilson accused Neighbor Hinman
of stealing a hog and demanded resti-
tuition. Neighbor IIinman resented
the imputation with a club. Enumer-
ator Wilson drew his knife and ran it
up to the hilt in Neighbor Humans
neck, incidentally severing the jugular
vein. The enumerator cen to have
acted on the principle of root, hog, or
die. While energy and thoroughness
are to be commended in all men, and
especially in census enumerators, Mr..
Wilson, il must be confessed, slightly
exceeded his duties and prerogatives.

o FREE COINAGE.

The prayers of the church ought
vigorously to follow the action taken
Yesterday in the United States senate,
to the end that the house of representa-
tives, knowing the way of duty, may
be inclined to walk therein. At yes
terday's session of the senate, a good
deal of nonsense was brushed away.
By a round majority the members sus-
tanned the legal tender quality Of silver
certificates. by a majority still larger the
bullion redemption clause was buried
beyond resurrection as far as the SEN
ate is concerned. Putting IL in figures,
the vote on this amendment was 81 to
Z. The senate also stood by the
clause of the house bill which provides
for free coinage when the market gives
one dollar for 37I.II grains of pure sill
yer; and finally by a sweeping majority
the senate committee amendment
which limits the operation of the bill
to ten years was thrown aside.
All this, however, is relatively of
small account i'm comparison with the
action of the senate i'm adopting, by a
vote of ~ TO 81, the motion of Senator
Plumb, which substitutes an out-and-
out free coinage measure for the first
section of the house bill. That action
practically carries free coinage through
the senate by an ample majority, max
ing all action on amendments relatively
of small account. The substitute of
Senator Plumb is the vital part of yes
terday's work i'm the senate. IL offers
all that the West has a right, under the
circumstances, to ask for: ii is good
enough. If now the house will come
into line and approve the senate's nc.
ton the permanent good fortune of
silver will be assured.
