ANOTHER MAN HOwLING.

Mr.. John Rucker, of Mulvane, was in
town yesterday and said he had a big
kick a comm" He was bowling about
the currency situation; not enough Of it.
He had not enough and could not get
enough, and his neighbors, thank heaven,
were as poor as himself. He had growl
about the tariff. and the demoralized stu
alton in general. In 'SS it was misty along
his road and in the distance he saw a
house and was not able TO tell what it was,
but recently it had proved to be the poor
house and he was just about to enter it,
and this he could not stand.
John said that he had in the cribs over
twenty-three thousand bushels Of corn,
which cost him less than twenty cents per
bushel, and to sell at fifty-one cents was
simply disgusting. He did not propose to
do it, and would not do it. He would get
up a straight-out red flag company, grind
out currency and issue it under his own
name and, in this way, get up his own cir
culatiOn. He was giving this kind of talk
with his own peculiar Virginia Democratic
smile.

THE LIVE STOCK ENUMERATION.

The Hon. J. G. Mccoy, agent in charge
of taking the enumeration of live stock
on the range, stated yesterday that about
all the agents in the field had completed
the work of collecting data, in fact all had
covered their districts but the Texas agent
and Washington state. These two would
be in within few days. The Idaho agent
had left there for Wichita some days ago,
but he was in a snow drift in Colorado
and would probably get out by late spring
In general way all the data is in, and
Mr.. Mccoy is now engaged in preparing
the tables and reading matter, which will
compose the volume that will in due time
appear in the census department. Most
of the work can be done at Wichita, but
part of it can be handled better at Wash
ington, and possibly Mr.. Mccoy will spend
some months there revising and putting
on the finishing touches.

crosses ALL THE YEAR"

Somewhere on the great line of the Mis-
souri, Pacific roses in full bloom can be
found every day in the year. In compiling
their calendar for the year 1891 the pas
senger department of that popular and re-
liable system hit upon the happy conceit
of loading the twelve pages, each contain
ing months calendar, with some de-
lightful variety of rose. These pages also
contain pictures of the principal building
of the twelve principal cities served by the
Missouri Pacific. Wichita occupies. with
her city building, Y. NJ. c. A building,
and the Board of Trade building, packing
houses, stock yards, etc. On the cover is
a model Spanish flower girl with tray of
glorious roses. Mr.. E. f. Bleckley, the
popular general agent for the Missouri
Pacific in this city, has our thanks for a
copy Of this highly ornate work of art and
utility which would prove souvenir for
any home or Office.

Dificu { Fight with Monster Having
Seven Foot Tentacles.
Three young men aged about IS years
had an exciting encounter with an octo-
pus, or devil fish, under the old wharf
belonging to the Myers Canning com
pany, at West Seattle IL resulted In
the frightful creature being killed after
a fearful struggle. II was necessary 70
sever completely every one of the hor-
rible creatures tentacles from It's body
before it gave MP the struggle. The
fight was witnessed by quite a number
of spectators.
The boys were fishing for tomcod from
the front Of the wharf when they no
ticed considerable commotion in the
water under the wharf. One Of them.
Dick Smith, took a long pole and climbed
under the wharf, TO find out, if possible,
the cause Of the disturbance. He had
not gone far when IN the semi-gloom he
discovered a strange shape and saw a
pair of small eyes glaring at him. In
his fright he poked at the animal with
his pole, but 10 his horror and amaze
ment it was wrenched from his hand as
easily as though it had been straw.
Young Smith gave frightened yell
and climbed TO the top Of the wharf 20
give the alarm. Several boys, ar1ning
themselves with poles and spades.
climbed down under the wharf 10 inves-
tigate this marine monster and IL pos
sible capture it.
After the eyes Of the boys had become
accustomed to the gloom they beheld to
their wonder and surprise that the Great
ure with which they had TO deal was
huge devil fish, lashing the water into
foam with its merciless arms, which
were spread out for distance Of about
seven feet in every direction.
The boys attacked the creature with
poles and spades. One boy made a strike
81 the animal. cutting il slightly with a
spade. The Infatuated creature seized
the spade in its grasp and threw it far
ont among the piles.
The fight continued for some time. the
animal selling everything that was
thrust at him. Several times one Of the
boys narrowly missed being caught and
drawn beneath the surface by the mon
ster Of the deep.
At length. by united pull at several
poles which the octopus has seized in his
blind rage, he WAS drawn from the
water, bat even then he kept up the fight
with uusbsted fury. striking viciously
at everything within reach.
One after another the tentacles were
severed from the frightfuily misshapcn
body. Even after ;he last arm had been
severed the animal did aot give up the

OUR MARKETS.

The receipts of live stock have been light
during the month past, the holidays Of
course played an important part in keep
ing shippers from sending in stock The
prices Of course was the principal reason
for the falling of in receipts, and were
probably lower during the month Of Dec
ember than for any period since the Wich-
ita live stock market was established. The
price Of packing hogs has however. sd-
vanced during the past ten days - 10 30
cents per hundred which is a good indi-
cation. Most buyers and commission
men concede that hogs will be up near the
four dollar notch by April /.
The receipts in round figures for Deem
Der were: 2,452 cattle, i6.3l9 hogs. 25S
horses and mules, making - car loads.
The receipts durlHg the same period last
year were 2,0ls cattle. 5.p95 hogs, and 1873
horses and mules. in all. 14s cars
One fact has been ascertained by the low
price and that Is that the farmers generally
were not compelled 10 sell their hogs while
prices were so low, bnt were able and ex-
pressed a determination 10 hold for higher
prices
The present raise viii 10 doubt cause a
movement Of hogs as buyers all say that
there are plenty Of good hogs yet in the
country awaiting nriees 70 suit the holders.
