PROHIBITION A DEAD ISSUE.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 5.-kansas
statesmen seem to have gone into
the letter-writing business. The
open letter from Harrison Kelley,
republican congressman from the
4th district, renouncing his old
party for the peoples party, is fol-
party, is followed today by letter
from Secretary of state Higgins
declaring prohibition dead issue.
The letter from Higgins is
great surprise, as he has been for
several years leader of the pro.
hibition wing of the republican
party and last year wrote great
deal of the republican literature on
the prohibition question. He says
that for four or five years past he
has been opposed to making pro-
hibition an issue in the campaign.
In the future he will use his efforts
to prevent it, and now it is ques.
ton, he says, whether republican
principles shall win at the polls
without an Endorsement of prohibi-
ton, or be defeated with it. He
predicts that prohibition will never
be Endorsed by another state con.
vention. He declares that he
wants the prohibition law to re-
main on the statute books, but if
it or the republican party must go
down he wants It to be prohibi-
ton.
The stand taken by Secretary
Higgins indicates that the republic
cans will let the prohibitory law
take care of itself and the peoples
party will also ignore it.

DOES MINING PAY,

Well, the Granite Mountain
mine in Montana has paid $11 ,OOO,-
600 in dividends within the last
five years, shipments from the Mol.

year ago the whole mine could
have been purchased for less than
double that much money; and in
Utah there are more shipping
mines and dividend payers than
ever before, one mine in Tintic, the

of a race war, in that the strife was
between whites and a number of
thriftless profligate half.breeds.
who are called RED Bones" A
few days ago Mr.. Morris made a
remark to an employee: "Where
are those two red bones who were
to drive this wagon!'
This remark was evidently over.
heard, for the next night his house
was surrounded by an angry mob
headed by Andrew Asworth, who
demanded that he come out and be
white capped. This he refused to
do, and by strategy succeeded ir
holding the fort all night. In the
morning he was notified that he
must leave the country before the
sun went down or he would be
assassinated. He at once fcom-
municated the news of these threats
to the white people of the settle
ment and they guaranteed him
full protection.
On Sunday morning party Of
white men went down to little
store a mile and half from the
mill to get some whisky. On their
arrival there they found party of
"red bones," who asked them if
they had come for the purpose of
raising disturbance or seeking
quarrel. The white men told them
that they were on no hostile mis-
sion, but they had come to get some
whisky. While this talk on the
outside was going on Jesse Dyson,
the leader of the "red bones," and
rs desperate character as ever
graced g border, came out of La
combs saloon or store and declared
himself able to clean out the whole
party. He at once jerked out his
six-shooter, but hardly had it lev
elled before Jesse Ward, one of the
whites, sent bullet crashing
through his brain and he fell dead.
In an instant gen eral battle
began and Ward fell MORALLY
wounded, being shot from behind.
For few moments it sounded as
though musketry fire was going
on. Winchester rifles and six
shooters were piled as rapidly as
those holding them could fire, and,
though greatly outnumbered, the
whites succeeded in routing the
toughs and staying five of them.
Four fell dead in their tracks, liter
ally SHOT to pieces, while one lived
long enough is crawl to a cabin,
where he died at the door. Dupree
Lacomb, the saloon man, was shot
through the leg and his son was
wounded. The 'red bones" ran
his wife and children out of the
house and into the woods, firing on
them, but fortunately they escaped.
When the smoke of battle had
cleared the following were found
dead: Jesse Dyson, Lee Perking.
Andrew Asworth, Owen Asworth
and Marion March, all fred bones"
Jesse Ward lived few hours, and
when medical assistance arrived he
begged the physician to extract the
bullet, as he did not want to die
with "red bone" lead in his body.
But this did not end the trouble,
for the ''red bones" took to the
brush, which is in a place we'll

they shot at passers.by. +. T.

HORSE NOTES.

HORSE NOTES.
Two hundred horses are in
training at the Independence, Iowa,
track.
Axtell has earned *118,OO0 in
service fees during the past two
years.
Robert Bonner has driven horses
for his health 35 years and has
spent 5000, 900 in doing it.
We recall the names of twenty
five trotting horses that within the
past thirty years have been sold
for the enormous sum of $685., 900.
Never let your horse acquire the
habit of jumping out of the shafts
as soon as you unwrap the last
strap. Many an accident occurs in
this way.
The annual demand of horses
from Germany is $4,000 head. four
flfths of which are for trains, om-
nibusses and the army and enc.
fifth for breeding purposes.
1t is a singular coincidence that
the fastest stations records at trot-
ting and pacing to harness are pre-.
cisely two seconds slower than the
fastest records at those gaits.
Lice will live in stables for years.
To get rid of and continue rid of
them, all the crevices should be
washed with kerosene oil and a
coat of whitewash should follow.
The great brood mare Woodbine
was truly great. OF her descend
ands 1875 trotters and seventeen
PAGERS have records of 2:3O and
better, and nearly a score of these
have records Of 2:20.
The record of 1890 is a grand
one: Twelve yearlings made 800
or better, 102 two.year.olds made
2:50 or under, 1875 three.year-olds
made 2:3O or under, eighty three.
year-olds made 2:2O or better.
"Requiescat in pace" said the
good, bereaved lady, as she con.
templated her husbands's tomb
stone. "As for the first, I must
say that John took rather more to
trotters, but I guess I'll let it
stacd."
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, did
a wise thing when he ordered the
manager Of his extensive breeding
farm to castrate all inferior colts
and to sell all fillies below the
standard at work horse prices,
without certificate of registration
or means of Identification.
If one does not know what ails
his horses eyes and makes his har.
ness crack, let him take up the
planks under the stalls. An &C.
emulation of dust, manure and

sending off ammonia constantly.

nothing will make it grow better,

sci or properly support herself and child, while
the defendant has considerable means, is doing
prosperous business and il well able to prop
erly support the petitioner and their child.
The petitioner further alleges that the defend
ant, on or about the 10th day Of October, 1880.

sci tees and permanent aiimony.
