HUNGRY men visited the barnyard of
a farmer near Alliance, and selecting a
fine steer from his herd, bntchered the
animal and carried away the beef. When
the farmer came around next morning
he found the hide stretched on the fence
bearing the following inscription, +" The
Poor Must Live as Well as the Rich"

Has Had Experience.

Henry Shearer, the man convicted Of
larceny in the Common pleas court, last
week, has had varied and exciting ex-
perience, according to his own story. He
claimed his home was in st. Louis, Mo-,
where he was born and reared but for
several years had been q wanderer over
the face of the earth. He had worked
aboard ships on the ocean for time,
and was in no less than half dozen
shipwrecks, once on vessel that burned
to the waters edge in mid-ocean. He
had clerked in pawn shop in his native
city, had ran the gauntlet Of the Indians
on Western plains, had journeyed to San
Francisco on freight trains, has a de-
preston in his skull caused by bricks
hurled by the cyclone blast, and withal is
a hearty looking and comparatively
young man yet. He contemplates lead
ing a retired life for time.-Cambridge
Herald.

Judement for $500,

The suit OF Miss Myrtle Clifford against
J. g. Gay for 5000 damages for breach
of promise, came up in Common Pleas
Court last week. The defendant being
in default for answer the. case was sub
mitted to the Court, and the plaintiff
was awarded judgment of $3.50. Ii
will be remembered that the parties had
all arrangements made for their marriage
some months since, and that the groom
failed to appear, he having previously
for some unknown reason, left the State.
He has since returned and is at his home
at Demos, but he did not make any de-
fense, and the Judgment amounts to lit
tie, as it is said he has no property.

Live Pigeon Shoot.

The live pigeon shoot given by the
Gun Club, Thanksgiving Day, was inter-
esting and drew many spectators. Harry
Boroff had been for many moons collect
ing pigeons, and was master of ceremo-
nies. The upper part Of the speed ring
at the Fair grounds was used. The birds
had to be shot while flying, and unless
dropped inside the ring did not count
The result was surprise. About one
half the pigeons, although two shots
we're fired at them, arose away up, took an
observation, and after wide sweep or
two started on bee-line for home The
other half were victims. The shoot in
detail is given below:

How It Caught.

At the burned house of r. NJ Wilkins,
Monday, fire was put in the furnace
which stood in the cellar. Smoke poured
out of hole at point in the chimney
which before the destruction of the house
stood just below the roof, showing very
clearly that the fire originated in a
defective fiue. The furnace was not so
badly injured but that it may be used
again. The piping for the steam, how
ever, was destroyed.

Ladies In The Court Room.


Ladies' In The Court Room.
Ladies who visit the court room during
the trial of cases should be prepared for
almost anything in the way of bad Ian
guage. Saturday witness in the Will
son case being called on to tell what he
knew, said that what he had heard was
not fit for ladies to hear. The attor-
neys told him to go ahead, whereupon he
repeated q lot of horrible blasphemy and
obscenity, which proved that he spoke
truthfully when he said it was not fit for
ladies' ears Courts are interested in get
ting at the exact truth. The euphemisms
of polite society have no place in the
trial of criminals. Criminals are rather
torcible and picturesque IN their words
than polished. and the narration Of any
criminal cause is apt to be filled with
profanity.

WELCOME. MIR. MERRIAM.

In ceasing to be Republican gov
ernor. Mr.. MERRIAM shows alarming
symptoms of becoming very sound
Democrat; and for the symptoms, even,
the GLOBE bids him welcome. 1t is
true that the ex-governor betrayed sim
liar alarming symptoms when he made
that very able Democratic address to
the Alliance in March, go, though he re-
covered quickly under the recuperatlve
effects of a second nomination; but as
that medicine is exhausted, it is prob
able that the disease will run its course
and the genial governor will convalesce
in the Democratic hospital.
The GLOBE is led to this diagnosis of
the case from the opening words of the
farewell address he delivered yesterday
to the joint session of the legislature.
1t is possible, of course, that the ex-
governor may not have got the precise
bearings of the words and sentiments
he announced. He may even believe
that they will stand the test of Repub-
licanism. If so, he should at once
counsel with the senior senator from
this state and prepare formal recanta-
ton. The senator has had the ad-
vantage of long absence from the
heretical air of Minnesota, living in the
true MCKINLEY atmosphere of Wash
ington so long that he knows Repub-
licanism at sight and is not liable to
''slop over"
The retiring governor warns the legiS-
lators against sail legislation which has
for its aim the protection of any special
interest" That has JetfersOnian ring
to it. But he amplities. He tells them
that discrimination of any character
that is to the advantage of one citizen
and works injury to another should be
studiously avoided as unfair and not IL
accord with free Institutions" Every
Democrat will say amen to that as a
plain statement of his faith. AS if the
foregoing were not sufficiently explicit !.
he went on to say that 1.-THE spirit f
paternalism, so-called, in government
seems to pervade the public mind to an
alarming extent, and, if carried to its
logical and inevitable conclusion, must
eventuate in the building up of favored
classes and communities to the detri-
ment of the people"
Tue GLOBE will not believe that, after
the manner Of the ancient augurs when
they met. Gov. MERRIAM turned aside
to wink at Gov. NELSON as these Demo.
cratic sentiments fell from his lips. Ii
prefers to believe that he really means
what he says; that he intends to shape
hic noIitical cOursa bv them. and he
lieving this, the GLOBE halls the coming
recruit to the ranks of Democracy aud
bids him welcome.

STEWAET'S WARMING.
Silver Must BE Remonetized or
the Pops Will Win.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ain the senate
today MIR. Stewart (Rep.) of Nevada,
called up Mr.. McPhersOn's joint resolu-
ton introduced Dec. 81. 1899 to sus-
pend all purchases of silver bullion I'M
der the Sherman act, and gave notice of
an amendment to it, being the bill in
troduced by himself on Dec. IL. with
the third section modified SO as to make
its closing sentence read: And all
silver bullion belonging TO the United
States shall be coined as rapidly as pos
sible, without delaying coinage for de-
poSitorS." He proceeded to address the
senate in an argument against the re-
free coinage. The people at the last
election, he said, voted for no principle
but change. The Democrats promised
to change tariff schedules. The voters
decided that no change could be
for the worse; any change might
be beneficial. Over a million voters.
without hope of success, protested by
voting for Weaver. Others stayed at
home III sympathy or disgust; but
enough voted to defeat Harrison and
elect Cleveland. If the Democratic party
would remonetze silver and give relief,
its lease of power would he indefinite.
But if it failed and the corner on gold
were maintained, both the old parties
would be overwhelmed at the next
election.
Mr.. Allison, who had Just returned
from the international silver coinage
convention at Brussels, and who today
made his first appearance in the senate
chamber at the present session, re
manned in his seat while Mr.. Stewart
was speaking, and appeared to be pay
ing close attention 10 his remarks; but
he did not seek the floor when Mr..
Stewart closed, and the matter went
over without action.
