TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

The liquor dealers of England talk Of
founding temperance society in opposition
to total abstinence.
An excellent scientific temperance educa-
ton law has just been passed by the Legisls-
ture OF Nova Scotia. This is the first one for
Canada.
Sir William Gull, N. D., says that even
the moderate use OF alcoholic drinks Is Ger
tainly injurious to the health, as it wastes
the nerve tissues.
A stream of water coming from mine In
the Little Rockies, near Gnetbrook, Mont,
is said to cure the thirst for liquor, and Is
named the Bichloride of Gold Spring.
All alcohol. and all things OK an alcoholic
nature inJure the nerve tissues pro tempore,
il not altogether, Alcohol may quicken the
operations, but it does not improve them.
The North Hudson County Railway Comp
any, OF New York, has issued orders prohib-
iting all drivers and conductors, while on
duty, from drinking in any OF ths saloons at
the terminals of the roads.
The annual drink bill deduct for spirits
used in the artsj of Great Britain is 1854. 900

THE DYING HORSE.
BIZ MRS. NAPOLEON B. MoRAEeE.

Fail back! Fall back! Give him room to dieI
Hard Is the bed where he needs must lie;
For his toilsome life this is the end
Has he no master-no loving friend?
Is it here the old horse must welcome death.
Where gaping crowd watches every breath,
Under the mideummer's scorchpG sun?
Is this his reward for work well doneS
bow his limbs shudder! How his eyes ronl
Seek they at last for a pitying soul?
Or only for quiet-quiet to die
In some lonely. valley green. where brook
gurgles by?
No; he knows nothing Of clover-felds cool,
Where cattle at MONDAY stand deep In the
pool;
He never wandered the pastures sweet
His roadway through life was the stony street.
Cherished while work brought his owner gain,
To strangers left in this hour Of pain;
Deserted, now that his task is over.
Not for his old days are the fields OF clover.
Not for him will the feld-lark sing,
Not for him theiush grasses spring;
Nor to him will liberty come,
In his tired old age, in some country nome
Here he must suffer-here he must die,
Under the midsummer's scorching SKY;
BE has known but the pavement his whoIe
life through.
Still we In our vaunted pride Of soul
Conceive no future, no restful goal
No ethereal pasture in regions blest
Where the poor old horse may in spirit rest.

FIVE died In the first weeks or months OF their
lives, six were idiots, In five children strik-
ing backward longitudinal growth was OBJ

the ffty-seven children Of drinkers only Ten,

The ten sober families had sixty-ons chill

defects. The remaining hftY. s19 per cent
were normal In their constitution and de-,

the children of drinkers tho prevailing NOR

disturbances Of their nervous system, ana
that only q very small proportion OF the de-

why not plant some seed that will bear
good fruit. At distance of eight or
nine miles up the creek they find little
bunch of five or six COWS and calves off
by themselves, and the COWS are branded
X-O. They don't like the X-O outfit
very well, anyhow, so they quietly ride
by this little bunch and gather all the
others on the circle, bring them into the
roundup, and no one is any the WISER.
"Then when the fall roundup comes
into this country there will be five or six
X-O COWS on this range without any
calves and without any brands, and con-
sequently five or six mavericks which
are the legitimate property of the punch
ers with the longest rope.
"That was the state of affairs in Wyo.
ming in 1884, when the Stock Associa-
tion was formed and the first maverick
law passed. Under the provisions of
that law, all mavericks found on the
round.up were sold by the foeman of each
round.up district to the highest bidder

ICED an expedition which started from
Cheyenne, beading for Nolan's Ranch In
johnson County, 125 miles away, be-
sides several of the big men in the Cattle
Association. This expedition included
twenty-five picked men from Texas, who
were engaged solely for their daring and
ability as sharpshooters. The object of
the trip was to visit summary punish
ment upon the rustlers.
After leaving Cheyenne the cattle kings
expedition divided into squads of five
horsemen each, and took different routes
to a rendezvous in johnson County, known
as the "T. A." ranch. Before reaching
there one Of the parties overlook some
''rustlers" at Nolan's Ranch, and in the
skirmish two "rustlers' and the Coroner
of the county, who had taken sides with
the 'rustlers," were killed. The ''rus-
tiers" were Nate Champion and Nick Roy,
and the Coroner was DR.. Watkins. After
the fight Nolan's Ranch caught fire with
several of the wounded "rustlers" in it,
and was totally destroyed.
The cattle kings expedition continued
its journey, taking its wounded along,
leaving the "rustlers" to bury their dead
and carry the news of the assassination
and arson" thirty miles to the nearest
town, Buffalo, which was at once in q
fever of excitement. The town is sup
ported largely by the patronage OF the
"rustlers' and has no sympathy whatever
with the grange monopolists." Almost
every man that could bear arms at once
enlisted in the campaign against the cat
tie kings, who were Desieged at the st.
A." ranch for several days. The ranch
was surrounded by a small army OF
rustlers, and the besieged inmates dug
deep trenches and hugh rife pit, from
which twelve of the best shots of the ex-
pedition kept up a constant fire on the
invaders. Thousands of shots were ex-
changed and a number of men on both
sides were wounded.
Meantime the friends ofthe imprisoned
cattle kings, knowing of their extreme
peril, had sent telegram to Governor
Barber informing him Of the situation
and urging him to ask President Harri.
son to order out the troop at Mckinney.
Governor Barber at once complied, and
within few hours orders were sent from
Washington to release the forty-six cat
tlemen, take them to Fort Mckinney
under arrest, pending indictments by the
local authorities for crimes already COM
mitted. Three companies of United
States Cavalry were sent to tho scene OF
action, and to them the besieged cattle.
men surrendered. They were conveyed
under protection of the troops to their
barracks at Cheyenne, there to await
trial on the charge of murder.

A social movement has started In Phila-

what Is called the ''treating' habit. The

succeeds in putting down this barbarous GUS

country as quickly as ballot reform has
done." The Troy Times approves the anti,

A PROMISE 10 GOD.

Ipromise Thee, sweet Lord,
That will never cloud the light
Which shines from Thee within my soul,
And makes my reason bright;
Nor ever will lose the power
To serve Thee by my WILL
Which Thou hast set within my heart,
Thy precepts to fulfill. -.
Oh. let me drink as Adam drank,
Before from Thee he fell,
Oh, let me drink as Thou, dear Lord,
When faint by Sychar's well,
That from my childhood, pure from sin
OF drink and drunken strife,
By the clear fountains, may rest,
OF everlasting lite.

THE CIRCUS LICENSE MATTER.
A Committee of Investigation Which Is
Very Quiet.

A Committee of Investigation Which Is
Very Quiet.
1t is just two weeks ago today that a
committee Of three was appointed by
the council to investigate the delin-
quencies of the city tax collector in fail
ing to collect $500 from Sells Bros.
circus for the last day it showed in this
city. The city lost $500 through this
failure, and, furthermore, no license was
collected from the side show, as provided
by law.
This committee, which was appointed
with great fash of t-umpets and a
loud call for investigation, has not made
q single, solitary move yet. 1t will pass
into history as deliberative committee.
If the councilmen and officials who are
mixed up in this job think that the
people have forgotten about it they are
mistaken. 1t is still in their minds, and
the fact that the city lost $500 by the
job is to be recollected.
If that investigation amounts to any
thing, or if it is going to amount to
anything, it is about time the matter
the committee was appointed to look
into, was opened up.
By the way, the total amount the city
is out by that license business is $3.50.
The $500 should have been charged for
the second days performance OF the cir
Gus, and 500 a day each for the two side
shows.
