The South and West.


The people Of the south and west
have been engaged for thirty years
past in hating one another with great
bitterness This hating has been most
irrational It is true now, and it has
been true for thirty years, that the in
terests Of the south and west are the
same Both these sections are agri-
cultural, and they both will remain
agricultural The natural friends and
political associates of the south are the
people of the west Whatever is against
one section is against the other. and
whatever helps one section will help
the other. These obvious facts are Just
beginning to be perceived over the
mountains of passion and prejudice
that have been piled up between these
sections And when these facts shall
come to be fully seen by the people Of
these sections, woe be to those who use
their political power for the purposes
of burdening these sections Good

Dreams have been regarded as an in
teresting subject Of study ever since
scientific thought was born. Locke, the
essayist on the human understanding
was of the opinion that man did not
think at ali when really asleep, while
modern Investigators in this lire Of
research believe that thought no more
ceases during sleep than a watch prop
erly wound runs down in the night.
According to their notion, under such
conditions the mechanical functions Of
the mind are active. though uncontrolled
by the judgme1- and thus it happens
that ones dreams are apt 70 De unreason-
able ana even absurd.
Could anything be more interesting
than 10 trace the progress Of a dream, if
1t were only possible: Think of the va
riety Of experiences through which one
would be conveyed, untrammeled by
the limitations Of common sense which
restrict ones waking thoughts, and freed
from the moral responsibilities that en-
cumber the doiugs Of ordinary life
Probability sets no bounds to the dream
er's vision. and even conscience Is dor
mant, since the most righteous Of men do,
on occasions. lnisbebave themselves most

MIXERS Catamount.

Old John MiZer, one of the early settlers
Of what is now Bucks township, O., went
out one day on Buckhorn creek to secure
wolf scalp. Having fixed the bait, which
consisted of a skinned rabbit, he was about
to hide near by when his praeticed ear de-
tected the tread of an animal behind him.
Mizer supposed it TO be wolf, but as he
turned quickly he beheid a catamount fol-
lowing close upon him. The moment the
hunter stopped the animal sprang into a
tree. Mizer took aim and fired, and with
a scream of rage the catamount sprang
upon him, landing on his back, and sank
its claws deep into the flesh.
With great presence of mind Nicer in
stantlv stepped backward against tree
and pressed the creature hard against it.
He then dropped his gun, drew out his
hunting knife, and was successful in using
it upon the side OF the biting, scratching
beast.
He continued to press against the tree
with all his might, and within few min
utes the catamount ceased to struggle, and
when at length the man stepped forward
the creature dropped dead at his feet. 1t

then related this strange story:
He gave his name as Patrick Spain, late
sergeant of Troop l., Fifth United States
cavalry, but retired lately by reason OF his
age. In the spring of 1890 Peter Schneider
was a private in that company and Al
Candy was the blacksmith. One night the
men had some liquor in a ravine near Fort
Sill, l. T., where they were located, and in
his jovial way Candy perpetrated some tri-
fling joke on Schneider. The latter drew a
murderous knife, wounded one man badly
and literally cut N two the heart Of the IN
fortunate Candy Realizing the enormitY
of his crime Schneider mounted his horse
and escaped into the wilderness, nor could
all the diligence of the military find him.
A few weeks ago the old sergeant en-
countered him in Los Angeles, but he es-
capped. This time the sergeant determined
to have him and he did. Schneider admits
everything and tells strange story of his
wanderings. but claims that Candy was
aiming at him with an iron bar when
killed. He was delivered to the military
authorities to be taken to Fort Sill.

America. Ducharme had then devoted
himself to hurdling but few months but
he won the 12O-yards race in 16 sec

record. H. L. Williams has since reduced
the record to Is AS seconds, but Ducharmes
friends are confident he will be heard from
again.
Ducharme's time for the 300 hurdles was
25 As seconds, one second slower than j.
P. Lees worlds record but the times are
about equal, for the reason that Lees
course was straight, while the Detroit man

be a most interesting athletic event. The

Until last year the doubles champion
ship was settled at Staten Island, on the
grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and
Baseball club 1t being found that teams
from a distance could not conveniently
compete there, it was resolved TO hold an
eastern and western championship, the
winners of which should meet at Newport
to contest for the national title. The re-
suit of this was that Messrs. Carver and
Ryerson, of Chicago, were successful Ia the
west, and Messrs. Hall and Hobart IN the
east Their meeting at Newport resulted
in victory for the eastern pair, so that
Hall and Hobart are now the doubles
champions of America. This year the east
ern championship, which was held on June
90. at Staten Island, resulted in an easy
victory for Huntington and Campbell. In
the western championship, begun on July
13. the winners were MessrS. Chase and
Ryerson.
This will bring the two latter teams
namely, S. T. Chase and J. A. Ryerson, and
r. P. Huntington and o. S. Campbell-to-
eether for the final round at Newport.
The winner of this match will be called
upon to play Hall and Hobart for the
championship of the United States. The
probabilities are that the eastern pair will
be successful over the western representa-
tives, for a stronger combination could
hardly be chosen than Huntington and
Campbell. Although very unlike in their
methods of play, their games work well
togetker. Should they defeat the western
team a great match will be the probable
result in the championship round, with the
chances slightly in favor of the challengers.
The holders of the doubles championship
since it was first inaugurated are as fol-
lows:
