One cause of congratulatiOn over the
recent campaign is the lack of bitterness
in Dodge City and Ford county general
engendered by partisan strife. 1t was a
noticeable feature that the merchants
about town were perfectly willing TO per-
nit literature of each political party to
be circulated in their places of business.
Mr.. Dillinger who circulated the large
cOlored posters announcing Ex-senator
ingalls, meetings reports that among all
the merchants no objection was offered
by democrats or populists, except Henry
Sturm, to having the entire fronts of
their stores decorated with the flaring,
red topped literature.

BlOOmed in an Hour.

A Belfast gentleman woke about Al,
a. m. Sunday and glanced out the win
dow at the clock on the Unitarian
church. as was his custom of morning
to see what time it was. Having found
out he turned over for another nap. The
next time he awoke he again glanced
toward the steeple and was surprised to
find that the budding leaves in the trees
between his house and the clock had
burst forth to such an extent that they
shut out the clock so that he was unable
to barely see the large face, let alone the
hands. He was telling this circumstance
to neighbor later in the day, when the
latter said he, too, noted the fact, as he
also took time from the same clock

The Time to Counterfeit.

The best time to successfully counter

The new halves and quarter dollars are
being successfully counterfeited just at
present. The people have seen so few of

that they have not worked their way

to expect. About half of the new half

A very curious case in which q hus.
band executed will which had been
prepared for his wife. and the wife exc
cuted win which had been prepared
tor her husband, has recently been de-
cided by the general term Of the supreme
court OF this state. John and Jane Mel
son, being husband and wiz, wanted to
make wills each in favor Of the other.
and employed William Cowie to pre-
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills were read and placed upon
the table for signature. Each then
signed ono of the wills, made the re
qulslte declaration as to the character
OF the instrument and asked the sub
scrlbing witnesses to sign. After exc
cutlon the wills were sealed up in an en-
velope, which was not opened until after
the husbands death, when it was dis
covered for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought suit in
the supreme court to correct her hus-
bands mistake in signing the wrong
will by reforming the language of the
will which he did actually execute, So
as to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr.. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is 10
will to correct, because the husband did
not make any will at all. The instru-
ment that he executed was his wife's
will, and of no more legal significance
than if it had been blank piece of pa
per. No precisely similar case is re-
ported in this state, but there are Eng
ish and Pennsylvania decisions in point |
adverse to the position of the wife.-Al-
bany Argus.

Experiments were made during the
last trial trip of the armed cruiser Beo-
wulf to determine the air pressure at
the mouth of a gun at the moment of
discharge. Rabbits were placed near
the muzzles of the guns and shots fired.
In every case the animals fell dead at
once. In order to test the probable eff
fects of the enormous displacement of
air upon human beings figures made of
straw were used. These were torn to

Against . Masssch usetts Railing.
The officers Of the Illinois Humane 90
ciety detailed to prosecute the partici
pstors IN the tame fox hunt at Falkland
arc much disturbed over tho methods OF
legal procedure in Douglas county. The
action against tho fox hunters was called
before Justice Lamb at Tuscola. Wit
aesses testified before . jury that q tame
fox had been chased by the defendants
and their hounds and had been caught
and torn to pieces by the latter. Attor-
ney A. W. Thomas, Of Chicago, cited a
Massachusetts, decision sustaining the
position of the Humane society, which,
while not denying the right of men to
hunt and kill wild foxes, held that a
tame fox, cared for in captivity by man
from the time it was only few days
old, is domestic animal.
g. w. Wolverton. of Tuscola, attor-
ney for the defendants, then addressed
the jury. He troubled himself but little
about replying to arguments of the Chi
cago lawyer, but the fact that Massa-
chusetts decision had been cited Sc
verely wounded his local pride.
GENTLEMAN of the jury" he said,

foxes"
After hearing which the twelve good
men and true of Tuscola rendered a YER
dict for the defendants. The Humane
society had hoped to make this test
case under the state laws, which pro-
vide that any person guilty of ''tortur-
ing any animal" shall be subject to a
fine of not more than 5000. The Mas

A Sad Disappointment.

An incident occurred last Monday o
most pathetic nature. 1t seems the ed
itor of our esteemed contemporary, thu
Dodge City Times, has been building
high upon the beneficent effects of tn,
success Of the fusion ticket. After lie.
and Secretary Higgins had declared no.
body should be unseated on account OF
fraud. Our neighbor, Bro. VOORHEES,, pro
ceeded 10 lake a mental inventory of bis
circumstances and affairs in order to de-
termiue i'm what manner he could begin
to enter into the enjoyment Of the good
things resulting from victory.
During the heat and worry of the CAM
paign his, private correspondence had
doubtless been neglected. At any rate
he felt the need of 300 postal cards, and
in view of the paternal relations his par
~ held the government should occupy
toward her subjects, our good friend pro-
ceeded to the postoffice to get three dol
lars worth of cards on credit. Those
cards being something like fiat money,
in that there was little intrinsic value
connected Herewith, he never dreamed
creature of Uncle Sans would have
the nerve to decline the slight accommo-
dalton. So be boldly approached the
proper opening and demanded the PASTE
boards. The postmaster started to wait
upon his customer, when that gentleman
remarked incidentally that he should
open an account and charge it up. At
this lacOnic suggestion the government
official paused in mild establishment and
informed the literary gentleman it could
not be. That the United States held that
this class of goods was cash article and
only sold for the ready money.
TO say that Bro. Voorhees, was sur
prised would be expressing it very mild
indeed. For full minute he stared at
the postmaster in establishment. As
soon as he could catch his breath. the
populist scribe gasped out: s.Isn't Jer-
ry elected? Didn't we carry Kansas for
Weaver and Lewelling?"
Mr.. Evans assured him such was cur

''And yet" quoth voorhees,, .'you le-
fuse to sell me three dollars worth of
postal cards on time?'
BY this time an inkling of the truth be-
gan TO dawn on the government officials |

Sadly and sorrowfulIy our innocent
and misguided friend turned away.
