An American farmer once brought into
the Philadelphia market n cart load Of pig
cons that he had SHARED. IL happened that
several other farmers had already brought
in cart loads Of pigeons, and the market
was glutted
After he had failed to sell them at the
full price the farmer offered the birds at
half price. There were no purchasers.
Finally, not wishing to cart the pigeons
home again. he offered to give them away.
"They must be stale" the people said,
cor else he wouldn't offer them for moth
ing"
Seeing that the people would not have
his pigeons a, all, the farmer, determined
to be rid Of them, started through the
streets, dropping three or four Of them out
of the cart every few rods; but the people
picked them up and ran after him, and
shouting, Here, man, you're losing your
pigeons" threw them back into the cart.
The farmer was at his wits end for a
moment, but presently hit upon - very
way to he rid of his load. He drove up to
the edge Of the street, leaned back against
his cart and pretended 10 be asleep, and in
stantly man, woman and child set to work
and stole every one Of the pigeonsi-Ex-

| The editor of the Post neither puts up
nor shuts up. but he backs water, and
that is enough. He does not take up
our wager because. as he says, it does
not suit him. That's about as we ex-
pected and what every body else would
naturally look for. He has evidently
counted up his list and knows what lie
has got. He can judge of ours as well,
and has common sense enough to see
that 1t wouldn't pay him to take up an
offer in which $50 of his own good
money would be at stake, with the
chances surely against him. He is
sharp enough too to stick to his first
proposal, in which he asks US togo him
halves in donating $50 to the Rosener
family, for the reason. as everybody
can perceive. that itwould proves pop.
ular one for him in every respect. Not
that he cares particularly about giving
out the $25, for he understands well
enough that we would not be foolish
enough to consent to such an offer, but
ne has an idea that he would curry fa-
yor by assuming Sc charitable an atti-
tude. As far as the Review is con-
cerned ne can continue in that position.
1t IS one in which he poses with good
deal OF grace, aud we certainly would
be the last ones to disturb him. We
are not here for that business nor are
we here for fun. Our bet was far
better and more reasonable one than
his and it was so conceded by all. He
refuses to accept it, and that lets us out
at the big end of the horn. The Posts
position in refusing to take US up is q
good deal like the Missouri man, who
having fallen into hole from which
he could not easily extract himself, fel,
so big, that, instead of waiting to grow
smaller, drew the hole in after him.

CHICAGO WINS.
The Northwestern City comes out
ahead in a gallant fight.

The long drawn out Worlds Fair
contest is settled. Chicago wins and
the wild and woody west is recognized.
The fight for the prize was bitter one
and the struggle was waged by four
large cites. New York put forth great
efforts, Washington and ST. Louis add
ed their strength and Chicago carried a
strong support. All day Monday was
taken up by the house in balloting. Chi
cage was in the lead on the first with 115
votes, and gained rapidly until the
eighth, which determined the battle. The
eighth stood as follows: Chicago, 157;
New York. 1O7; ST. Louis, %; Wash
ington Is. This is the decision in the
House. The senate in all probability
will not after it, and. if not, the Windy
City will be the site of the Worlds Fair
in1892. The result is as it should be.
All personal property taxes, not
paid before March list, will have the
ten per cent penalty added thereto.
Next Friday is the last day on which to
pay and avoid the penalty.
| Slayton has won in the Murray Coun.
tY seat contest, Judge Perkins having
decided in its favor. Unless an appeal
is taken to the Supreme court and that
body reverses the decision of the lower
court, Currie, the former seat of govern
ment, is laid out cold.
From the incomplete returns of the
elections held in Germany last week, it
appears that the Cartel or Government
parties no longer have majority in
the Reichstsg, and that the Liberals
are in power.
A year ago Sunday was the coolest
day OF the entire winter, the mercury
ranging from rs to 80 degrees below
zero. There has been no such cold
weather this winter.

What A. II. Cregerson says.

While working on the southern extern
sion of the U. p. Railway system near
Glover Valley, in this (Lincoln) County
about the lat. of this month ] observed a
very large hard swelling on the leg of one
of my horses. 1t was apparently caused
by kici, from another animal. Five or
sis applications OF Trib in the course OF
tao days completely cured the swelling,
aud the horse is as good as new. The
remainder of the 80 cent bottle waa used
successfully by number OF railroad
workers to cure sore arms, spfaine,s mus
cles, etc, until it did fifty dollars worth
of good. For this reason | allow the
use of my name to further spread the
knowledge of this good liniment. My
permanent residence is at Silver Reef,

hAiLhoAp AccIDESTs-On Friday OF |
last week, at Elmore's grading camp |
about 5 miles below Clover Valley. a
quantity of giant powder was being carted |
to portion of the work, when from some |
cause, it exploded. One man was lead. |
ing the horse attached to the cart and
another was walking Immediately behind
the vehicle. The explosion blew
the cart in atoms and tore the
hind quarters of the horse
killing him instantly. OF the men. the
one in front sustained slight injury to
one OF his hands, while the one behind
the cart escaped entirely unhurt; for
tunate accident for him.
At Lyons camp, still farther down the
line another accident occurred last Mon.
day in which a workman was nearly
crushed to death. An extensive cave or
slide occurred in one of the tunnels, only
oneman happening to be near, and seeing
the mass falling he hastily sprang away
thus saving his life. As it was however,
some of the outer stones struck him ON
the back and hip, tanning him badly and
he was sent to the hospital at Clo-
yer.
On the same day at McLaughlin's
camp still another accident happened by
which man was hurt, but the particu.
lars have not been learned our informant
obtaining his information from horse.

doctor.
REGIsTRATIoN-The books for the reg.
istration of voters at the general election
next November were opened last Monday
and voters may now register in the vari-
Gus precincts, on all legal days between
the hours of ten A. M. and six P. NJ up
to the 2lst day of October. Registry
agents should be careful in the perform.
ance of their duties and follow the law
exactly. They should be fully satisfied
before placing name on the list. that
the applicant possesses the necessary
qualifications, and every naturalized citi.
zen should be required to produce his
certificates of naturalization, as provid.
ed by law, before his name is registered,
and the oaths provided to establish ones
residence etc, should be carefully admin
istered. Only in this way will it be
possible to keep the registry lists free
from improper names and thus avoid
trouble later on.

and Telegraph office building at Milford,
together with large quantity of freight,

place and debris on fire and the whole
was rapidly consumed. No lives were
lost, the explosion occurring while the
station men were at dinner, The fire
spread so rapidly that nothing wa!
saved. Quite number of our merchant.
