Lawrence Feuerborn has accept
ed position with the Home Com
fort Range men to canvass and sell
ranges. We understand he is sue
ceeding quite well in his new VEGA
ton.
Scipio hath literary in full blast,
with Melvin Cottle as president.
Mrs. T. j. Wilson has been very
sick, but we are pleased to learn
that she is rapidly improving.
w. T. Nicholson, of Hungry
Hollow (and that is the proper
name for it), thinks of being can
didate for sheriff two years hence.
He says he didn't want to run
against Bob Ayres, was the only
reason why he was not a candidate
in the recent election.

For the last three or four weeks,
whenever and wherever we have

Albert sSeverns, for a week or
more, has been looking very beauti-
full. The occasion of his good looks
being very large boil, giving one
cheek the appearance of a blush

The railroad bridge over Cedar
creek is nearing completion.

passes a sign which warns all par

Election is over and we all know
the result, but many do not see how
it was brought about, and probably
never will. Enough, however, is
leaking out to convince us that
nothing was left undone to make
vote for the Republican party.
When Republicans take ignorant
Democratic voters to one side and
tell them that if they vote the Peo-
ple's ticket and that party succeeds,
all money will be withdrawn from
Kansas, and that you could not
borrow dollar, and that manufac-
turing will cease in the United
States, We say if such ever happens,
it will be done by the money power
in order to crush out this reform
move. 1t will never happen be-
cause of the fear of reform princi-

Canine Fidelity.

We are wont toregard the dog as the
perfect embodiment of fidelity, and on
the whole the good opinion of his char
acter has been justified. The saying Of
the German pessimist that he would
cease TO believe in truth but for the as
surance OF his dogs eye is a striking
tribute to the species. But even Ouida
herself, one supposes, would hardly
claim this excellence for every member
OF the canine family We are apt TO
forget that the instinct OF attachment
was developed comparatively late in
the history OF the species. The dog
is by nature unattached and vagrant,
and only becomes attached and faith
full by an infusion OF human grace.
Hence the comical spectacle one some
times sees in the streets-a well
meaning but misguided youth at
tempting to keep a loosely inclined
pup close TO his heels. And not few
members OF the species appear to re-
main in this unregenerate state in
in mature years.-Cornhill Magazine.

1t is wretched, but not without re-
deeming feature. In 1870 wholesale
liquor merchant of this city got Gus
toner in Six-mile Canyon, who was
father Of nine small children, and sup
ported his family by a little saloon
business. He died. leaving his wife
to struggle for them. The wholesale
man furnished her with liquor for ten
years, the bill getting larger every
month. But he saw her children were
very poorly clothed and nearly bare
footed, and he knew that they had to
have food. Finally, the older boys
grew big enough to work, and their
very first money was paid to the
man who had enabled them to live,
and recently the account OF about
eleven years standing was squared

There is vast difference between
the ways and ideas of amusement of
the small boy uptown and the small
boy downtown who makes his living
by selling papers, shining muddy
boots or being messenger. For in
stance, the downtown newsboy scorns
to throw snowballs as q usual thing.
He will shake dice, match coppers
or smoke cigarettes and discuss some
melodrama playing in his favorite
Bowery theatre, but he absolutely de-
clines to throw snowballs. On the
other hand, his more innocent brother
seven or eight miles higher up on the
island still clings to the good old fash
ioned spot OF pasting" everything
and everybody with a SNOWFALL.
That's all association, OF ourse.-New
York Tribune.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Al white Robbed Of Eight Hundred
Dollars.

Last night at about IL 80, when
James Conroy, who deals faro for AL
Whit, had just Closed up the game
and was making up his cash, he was
suddenly confronted with a six-shooter
held by tall man with a black silk
handkerchief with eye-holes in over
his face. The man pointed the gun at
Conroy, and reaching out his hand
placed two stacks OF the bright
twenties, consisting Of 800 each, in
his coat pocket, and before Mr..
Conroy had time to realize what had
happened, the man with the mask
and $500 in coin had disappeared
down the stairway and out the back
door. There were only three men in
the room at the time, the others being
Tim Pollard, who stood by and
watched the proceedings, and gentle
man who was standing at the head Of
the stairs was quietly motioned
back into the room with a flourish
of the nickle-plated gun, and thought
a joke was being perpetrated instead
OF bold robbery.
The robber was evidently an old
hand at the business, as he seemed to
be the coolest man in the room. There
were several men sitting in the bar
room besides the proprietor. Al White,
and the bartender, but no suspicion Of
any thing unusual occurred to them
until informed OF the robbery by Mr..
Conroy, although they all saw the
man 90 up stairs. Immediately after
the robber made his escape the officers
were notified, and in, perhaps, twenty
minutes officers Upson and Nash had
their man and 1910 of the stolen
money. lie was arrested on the
west-bound train just as he took a
seat in one OF the coaches. They had
followed him from the corner of Vir-
ginia street and Commercial Row,
where they met him making his way
to the train. He gave the name OF
Thomas Hale and claimed to be an
agent OF Pinkerton's detectives. He
was locked up TO await an examina-
tion. The officers are satisfied that
there was another man interested in
the robbery, who has the remainder OF
the money.-Reno Journal.

sarxe.i Him Right.

William Watts, a plantation lsborer
near DeKalb, Texas, on arising few
mornings ago told his wife that he in
tended to kill her just as soon as he
finished putting on his shoes. While
he was attending to his foot covering
his wife went out to the wood pile, got
the ak, and came back and split his
head open. This served him right for
being such fool as to tell her what
he was going to do.

During small tenement house fire
on the east side there was thrilling
incident that was not cronicled at the
time. II occurred at a rear window in
the second story. The flames had
been extinguished with trifiing dam
age, but the house was full Of smoke.
Suddenly woman tottered to the
open window. In her arms she held
a bundle, tightly clasped to her bosom.
1t was in white wrappings. Quickly
the crowd OF people in the yard below
saw the woman. Great clouds of
smoke whirled about ter head in suf-
locating volumes, and the crowd
called upon her TO jump.
She hesitated, but extended the
bundle at arms length, from which at
that moment there came faint cry.
1t was baby's voice.
Save my childW implored the
woman.
Instantly blanket was procured and
strong men held its corners.
Drop It'll" they shouted.
With her face averted the agonized
and imperiled mother let the baby
fall. Down the lite one futtered like
a white winged, wounded bird, with
the desparing cry of Mamma upon
its lips. Lightly it struck the blanket,
and moment later it was taken up
safe and sound, but sobbing, by a
motherly looking woman in the
throng.
II required but a few minutes to
raise ladder and rescue the self sacrifi-
cling mother from her perilous position
and restore her dimpled darling to her
arms
This touching rescue was loudly
cheered by the sympathetic spectators.

There is horse in the United States
army, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, on the retired list drawing q
pension. The horse belonged to Cap
tain Keogh, near relative to General
Custer, and is the only horse that es-
capped the massacre in which that
General was killed. His name is
Comanche, and he is stationed at Fort
Riley, Kan, with the Seventh Cavalry
Clusters old regiment.
His pension is sufficient to cover his
transportation wherever he goes, and
to pay for his forage. He is cared for
by a man detailed for that duty, and
who does nothing else. He is saddled,
bridled and equipped and led out for
inspection, yet no one dares sit in his
saddle. He has been much sought
after by intcrprising showmen, but
Uncle Sam says no.
He will be kept as long as life lasts,
and after that will probably be pre-
pared and sent to the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington. When found
Comanche was many miles away from
the scene OF the battle. He had seven
wounds, and was nearly exhausted
from loss OF blood.

the stranger rose and said:
How much was the fine?"
Give dollars" replied the clerk.
"Well," said the stranger, laying

perience OF this court, and no one can
feel greater contempt for it than l do,
