Here Is an item e ,r lady readers,
taken from an exchange: "There isn't a
man of any degree of r espectability that
would be seen walking up and down the
streets with drunken girl. You might
search with fine tooth comb and not
find a young man who would lock arms
with young girl and 60 off promenad-
ing, who was putting away on cigar or
who was squirting tob acco juice on the
sidewalk. Girls havo no hesitancy in
accepting the company of the two latter
characters, and too many of them are
only too anxious to accept the company
or the heart and hand of such young
men. Society will become refined when
girls will demand of boys who wish to
pay them attention, the same purity of
character that the boys to-day demand
from girls. Over the heads of the young
ladies of the land hang the possibilities
of the greatest moral reform that ever
swept over the country"

Prof. Hawn predicts that there will be
no exceptionally hard winter between the
88th meridian and the Rocky mountains.
The temperature will be slightly above

An epidemic of horse and cattle steal
ing has struck this county lately and
horses and cattle are reported missing
in every direction. 1t has been the gen.
eral opinion that an organized gang of
thieves well acquainted with the country
has been at work, and from developments
made this week the gang has evidently
been caught at last.
Last Friday Thomas DAILY had twenty
six horses stolen from his ranch north of
town. It was surmised that they had
been shipped to Kansas City, and word
was telegraphed to Asa Adair, who is
down there to look out for them, and on
Monday he telegraphed back that he had
the horses and thieves.
