Well, the Judge has made a faithful
officer throughout, and for the sacrifices
that such men make for the good of the
public, a clause should be inserted in
the new Constitution retiring an officer,
after thirty-four years service, on half
pay.

The question upon which the welfare
of the county now depends in great
measure is, shall this state OF affairs con-
tinue, or will there be spirit of i'm
provement exhibited in the matter more
in accordance with the wants and neces-
sites OF the community? A splendid
field opens up here for some Alliance
man or other enterprising citizen to
pave his way to local fame, if not to
fortune.

John W. Allen was appointed Dep
uty Clerk in 1854. John b. Bruner,
who had previously served in the Legis-
lature, was elected County Attorney in
1854, and after serving faithfully in that
capacity, was for several terms State
Senator, in which position he acquired
much distinction, attaining to the office
of acting Lieutenant Governor, which
he filled with credit to himself and TO
the county and district represented.
He was man of great political tact, and
withal conscientious in the discharge OF
his duties. Had his life been prolonged,
he would doubtless have attained to a
high round in the ladder of fame.

The list of county officers as presented
herein shows the strong disposition OF
those who once get Office to hold on to
it. Take the case of Judge Board, whom
the writer knew as lad on his fathers
farm, not dreaming, perhaps, of.leaving
that occupation and engaging in politics
and ofIice-seeking, yet we find him de-
veloped into the most continuous and
successful county ofice-seeker at the
hands of the people to be found in the
State. When he shall have served out
his present term he will have been
thirty-four years in Office. This beats
Benton's Thirty years in the Senate"
but is not in accord with the good old
Democratic doctrine of rotation in of
fice," a beautiful figure in theory, but
practically not approved of by those
who don't wish to be rotated ont of office.

The soma Plant.

In the Aryan religion the chief offer
ing TO the gods was the fomented Juice
OF the Soma or Moon plant, which, be-
ing strong drink, gave new excitement
TO those who partook of 1t, and was be-
lieved to impart power to the gods. It
was believed, moreover, that 1t wrought
miracles, and for this reason, perhaps,
il afterw ards became the chief god of
the Hindus. In vedie hymn the wor-
shipper says:
"we've quaffed the Soma bright,
And are immortal grown;
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman vex us more?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God we soar"
No such power as this is attributed to
any plant at the present time, and yet
many of the cures performed by s. s. s.,
a purely vegetable remedy, seem almost
to border on the miraculous. In con.
tagious blood poison, scrofula, skin d.
sease, some forms of cancer, etc, it is
the remedy par excellence.

Apia, the capital Of the Samoan
islands,is famous for its consumption of
beer and umbrellas. 1t is no unusual
thing to see nearly-naked native walk
ing hatlcss through the streets with a
silk umbrella spread over his head.
Tho use OF the umbrella is to
protect the carefully oiled and dressed
native head from the effects of the
suns rays. Hair dressing is the
sole toilet operation with the Sa-
moans, and upon this they bestow
vast amount of time and ingenuity
An American about to depart from Apia
asked what he should present to the
wife of q chief who had entertained
him. He was assured that nothing
would please the lady better than an
umbrella. With some misgivings as to
the stock Of umbrellas likely to be car
ried by the merchants of Apia he Wis
tied shop, and was astonished to find
large collection Of the best European
umbrellas. He learned that they sold
well at good prices. and that the ma
tives were extremely exacting MS to the

THE VOLCANO IN THE SEA.

A TunislAn Island That Suddenly Diaap.
psarod.
The submarine volcano which gave
such q bad shaking up to the island Of
Pantellaria recently is still receiving
considerable attention from the Paris
papers Pantellaria lies ut the north
east OF Tunis, and the disturbance oc-
Cured about mile and half from the
west coast of tho island. The sight,
says the New York Sun, was grand be-
yond description. The waves went up
like mountains and roared in an inn
mense whirlpool of boiling water, from
the center Of which came smoke and
flames that rose far above the immense
clouds of steam. All this was accom-
panied by what might be called sub
marine thunder Of the loudest and deep
est kind, while the water became black
laria trembled, MS well it might, and its
few lazy inhabitants were thrown into
the widest excitement.
From the point where the phenome-
non appeared on to the coast of Sicily,
the bottom of the sea is volcanic, and
Atna and Vesuvius are set down rs the
chimneys Of tho great furnace below.
1t is in the vicinity of this spot that the
great submarine volcano Of Giulia ap-
pears from time to time, lifting its cone
far above the water and throwing up
lava and flames; and when it becomes
exhausted it sinks down again with
terrific rumblings, while the sea dances
at q furious rate.
There is funny story in connection
with this eccentric volcano. In 1881
Gar Nicholas sent some war vessels to
reconnoiter the coast of Pantellaria
with view to building a fortress there.
Just then there was an eruption OF the
Giulia, which sent up an island six
kilometers in circumference. When the
sea became tolerably cool and calm this
island was captured by the crew Of a
British man Of war. They planted
upon it ''thc flag upon which the sun
never SETS" The guns doomed, the
sailors cheered, and the band played
"Rule Britannia" At the close Of the
ceremonies the island began to shake,
and soon it was discovered that it was
slowly sinking down into the seq. Then
there was grand skedaddle for the
boats. and shortly after the British
tars had reached their vessels the island
was'gone. 1t drowned itself rather than
belong to the English. The Eussians
laughed, but they never got their fort
ress on Pantellaria.

Fads Of Men.

That men have fads as well as their
wives, sisters and sweethearts was
evidenced the other day, when at o
restaurant dinner man detached
from his watch guard tiny silver
flask, or bottle, from which, after the
top was unscrewed. he busted one or
two grains of a fine pepper (which /
got in Egypt and find most appetizing
and an aid to digestion" says the New
York Times. One or two of his COM
panions who tried 1t, in the infinitesimal
quantity in which it was bestowed,
found it very hot, but doubted its al
legged qualities. Without doubt it was
q notion, such as only women are sup
posed to indulge.

A new industry has sprung up in
England in the manufacture Of hop tea.
Hop tea is q blend of Indian and Cey-
Ion teas with Kentish hops prepared by
a special drying process. in which the
hops come in contact with pure air
only and are not subjected to the fumes
to which brewers hops are exposed. It
is claimed for hop tea that the intro
duction OF the hops not only improves
the flavor OF the tea by giving it a malty
aroma, but the sedativc in the hop
counteracts the exciting effect of ordi-
nary tea upon the nerves. It is also
claimed that the tonic property of the
hop modifes and diminishes the astrin-
gency Of ordinary tea

CATTLE cusTLGas.
Pounding ON Their sa;es and Compelling
Then, to rrovs Ovpersy,,o.

Pounclng on Their sa.es and compelling
Them to Prove OwpersI,!p.
Attempts to frustrntc c,sttlc rustlcrs
on the western ranges have r1ct with
so many failures that the cattle raiscrs
have started Off on n ncw tack with
new law in Wyoming that permits
them to por,ncc upon the proceeds OF
the rustlcrs' sales in the markets und
compel tho proving Of property before
they can get their money. With that
protection the cattle men havo partly
abandoned tho expensive methods of
protecting stock on the open ranges and
have employed inspectors TO watch the
rustlcrs in the markets.
Under the law which was passed by
the late Legislature the stock commits
sion was organized. All of the money
realized from the sale of all estrays and
cattle of unknown ownership shipped
to Kansas city. Omaha and Chicago
must be sent to the commission, Its in
spectors look after the interests of the
small owners ard keep tic rustlers
from imposing on the buyers The
money received is known as the estray
fund, and it has amounted this season
to more than fifty thousand dollars
The commission holds the fund until
proof of ownership Of q share has been
established Cattle raiscrs nre supplied
by each county clerk every six months
with lists of cstr:sys that have been
sold for which the commission holds
the money. If o cattle raiser can claim
any of the cstrnys ho contests with the
rustlers before the commission. The
claim must be entered within Il year,
because the money is turned ovcr to the
general fund of the state ut the end Of
that period. The commission will not
pay any of the money to the rustlers
except on the peremptcry order OF o
court. s-
At present nll cattle bearing o
rustler's brand, CIR believed to be OF o
rustlers brand, according to the in
formation obtained by the commission,
are seized by the inspectors in the prin-
cipal markets and sold as cstrays or cat
tie of unknown ownership The rustlers
swear and threaten, but they are asked
in simple terms to show clear titles to
the stock. The results have been so
satisfactory that the commission has
taken boldcr step, on the ground that
bill of sale is not sufficient to estab-
lish ownership and that any man who
buys bunch of cattle from anyone be-
lieved to be rustler is worse than q
rustler. &
Three men who had cattle with re-
corded and recognized brands bought
small punches from an outfit that, ac-
cording to the belief OF the commission,
belonged to rustlers. and shipped some
to Chicago. They received the money
for the cattle with the proper brand,
but the money for the cattle with the
suspected brand was sent to the COM
mission. Bills Of sale from the sup
posed rustlers have been sent to the
commission at Cheyenne and suits ut
law have been instituted, but tho COM
mission refuses to return dollar of
the money. The argument is that by
fraudulent bills Of sale and collusion
the rustlers might foil the efforts Of tho
commission to prevent them from steal
ing cattle.
